THE DAILY NERTIASKAN. WEDNESDAY. OCTOUKK 27. 137 PAGE THREE .JkJ by ED STEVES NEBRASKA NO LON(;ER THIRSTIN' FOR GOOD QUARTER REINFORCE MENT. There are 11 men on a football team, but today we are concerned vith only one. That one is Thurs on Phelps, Husker gtidder of the veek nnd the busiest man on the squad. The heady quart erback not only passed his mates to win over the strong Missouri T I gers Satur day, but also earned himself a o in e belated nationwide giM fame. Playing on the same squad with John Howell, htl.. I... THURSTON PHELPS , Th' Nr ' rum Lincoln Jounni "a lnp Nebras ka spark plug, Phelps has had little, if any, chance to show his wares. Phelps Gets Chance Saturday. Saturday Howell was benched with a bad leg. Phelps was chosen to start. In less than two minutes after the opening; whistle, the Kxo ter flash had generalled his forces into a scoring pisitlon. It was then that he gained his recognition by that rapid fire passing attack. All of his spirals were to the point. Once he laid one into Jack Dodd's arms for a 37 yard gain and on the next play tossed one to Marv Plock on the three yard line, that netted the Huskcrs their lone score of the day. A survey after the game found that, aside' from Phelps' fine kick ing and signal calling, he had com pleted 5 out of 8 forward passes. His kicks bounced along sidelines, around safeties, back from goal lines; In other words, they werj plenty good. Enrolled in "Tough" Law School. Well, now that we've tossed him football orchids, we'll ted you what else the lad can do. The blond quarter came down from the little town of Exeter with only the small backing of the home town, but he had been here onlv shortlv when he had the backing of the whole school. He has left no stone un turned in his three years here. After being a member of Kos met Klub, the student council, and the University Players, (plus foot ball I, he was tapped a member of the Innocents Society. During most of this time when he was engaged in his extracurricular.?, he was working part time. This year Phelps is a freshman in law school. That college, they tell us, tolerates no more than four hours sleep per night. So, our passing quarter is doing double duty and something that few pigskinners ever do, play foot ball and go to law school. "They had me worried over there for a while,'' said Phelps, "but I guess everything's o. k. now, 'cause I'm going to pass my exams, I'll be glad when I have a little more time to study, tho." Has a Good Scholastic Average. His three year scholistic aver Rge is a little better than 85 per cent. Phelps is 21 years old, weighs 171 pounds and stands ft feet 10 Inches. In P'.xeter high school he was given all state honorable men tion. He is a triple threater and is probably the best passer on Jones' squad. Having earned one minor letter here, . he has only one more year of competition. Pittsburgh is opening a drive against too many intersectional games. Krom now on it intends to confine its games to eastern teams instead of taking on the "power house elevens jf the west," announced the Panther officials. "We have no intention of drop, ping Nebraska as relations with them have been very pleasant," nay the officials of the school against whom this paper cam paigned last year. Headline writers had a field day 'ith the Missouri game, writing many and varied head versions of the game. Two of these which caught our eyes were 1, "Mr. Dodds Goes to Town." and 2, "Pass from Thurston to Phelps, etc." BROWNE OFFJO SCOUT PITT End Coach Will Gather Dope on Panthers. Once again Coach Harold Browne will scout the Pittsburgh Punthers.

In a 30 minute Kcrimmai;e against the freshmen, the varsity chalked up five touch downs, using passes and .straight running plajs. Injuries Worry Jones. Furrows crept over Major Jones' visage as he viewed the casualty list from the Mizzou fray. Klmcr Dohrmami did not report as ho favored an injured leg, but accord ing to Trainer A. V. Corned, the elongated end, who is game cap tain for the Hoosier tilt, should be ready for hani work Thursday. The infirmary dismissed Marv Plock yesterday after he had been there since Sunday because of r ceiving h severe, kick in the leg. Plock d .lined sweat raiments and merely looked or, as Coach Jones hied the Huskcrs thru their steps. Indiana Colcr. Indiana is one of the most col orful dubs in the country, said Coach Adolph Lewandowski, who has reconnoitered the Hoosiers for four consecutive ,veck ends. Fans, who have been bemoaning the fact that they are bored at seeing listless games, have a treat in store b y attending the Hoosier till Saturday. ftazzle dazzle tactics are used by Indiana.

A picture .imiriu.i. from the Minneapolis Journal shows a Hoosier back flipping a pass from his own It yard line, a trick seldom, if ever, seen in the Big Six bund. Stars galore are found on the visitors' roster, but Colby liavis, 200 pound fullback, is the spear head of their scoring punch. He is a candidate for All American honors at fullback, and is well on his way to realizing this aspira tion as he has starred in all games. Davis a Triple Threat. He can punt, pass and run as Minnesota can well attest, for it eked out a H-0 win over the Hoos iers. His punts average 10 yards and have auled lnstrumenlally in keeping the squad out of danger. This will be the first year that he has ambled on Menioiial stadium turf, an arm infection disabling him last fall. Nebraska opens the last half , of Indiana's schedule, which has games booked with Ohio Slate, Iowa ami Purdue. Cenlie, Illinois and Cincinnati have been victim ized by the Hoosiers while the Golden Gophers of Minnesota have shoved them psii.e, 6-0. Whitney Martin, Associated Press spurts writer from K:nas City, foresees a defeat for the Huskcrs. whom he avers have no offense. The drab exhibition by Nebraska at Columbia prompted Schrivener Martin to make this startling assertion. McLcmore Here Saturday. Krom hither and yon will come sports writers to relay descrip tions of the nationally-important contest to papers over the entire commonwealth. Among them will be one Henry McLcmore, genial sports columnist for the United Press. MiLemoie was here last year to cover the Pitt fracas and it was at this time that he in dited an amusing yarn about the sower atop Nebraska's capitol. Swelled by an influx of knot holers, the attendance for Satur day's battle is expected to reacil the 3H.000 mark, for the second largest '37 home gathering. Min nesota's grid-making appearance here Oct. 2 packed 37,000 football devotees into the stadium. VARSITY BASKETBALLERS HOLD PRACTICE TDNSGHT The second varsity basketball practice of the year will be held tonight at the Coliseum, beginning at 7:30 o'clock. All varsity players and all men who are eligible for basketball are asked to report. Only 21 players reported for the first practice, and Coach W. H.

Sigma Phi Kpsilon ami Sigma Alpha Kpsilon today joined Alpha Tau Omega in the intra mural touch football playoff by winning their final games over Alpha Sig ma Phi and Phi Sigma Kappa re spectively. Sigma Nil established itself as the favorite to represent league three in the playoff by winning their fourth straight game at the expense of Alpha Gamma Kho bv a 7 to 0 margin. Sigma Thi Kpsilon advanced in to the finals Monday night when they handed Alpha Sigma Phi a 14 to 0 trimming in the only league four game played. Phi Delta Theta and the Acacias won by forfeit over Delta Tau Helta and Kappa Sigma respectively in the other scheduled games. Sigma Alpha Kpsilon remained in the undefeated class when they won their filth straight game at the expense of Phi Sigma Kappa 13 to 0 last night. The Sigma Chi Theta Chi and the Phi Kappa P.-;i Zeta IVt.i Tail tilts were postponed until tonight. With such teams as Sigma Phi Kpsilon, Sigma Alpha Kpsilon, and Alpha Tau Omega already in the final playoff, it appears tliat there will lie some hotly contests games played before the intramural champion is crowned. These three teams have all displayed a scor ing punch superior to anything their league opponents had to of fer, plus a strong defense. Sigma Nu, the favorite to cop playoff honors in league three, has also displayed a potent offensive and has indicated that they will be very much in tho fight for cham pionship honors.

Coach Bo McMillin's Indianaus will pei form on the Memorial stad- ium greensward this Saturday be- fore a crowd expected to approxi-1 mate the 30,0(10 mark. The Hus- j kers downed the Hoosiers last year in a heartthrobbing contest by a 13-0 count. "In Ho McMillin's opinion, Corby Davis, hard-driving fullback, is the outstanding P.ig Ten per former." continued Scout Lewan dowski.
