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."

Tuesday's
workout found the
Jonesmrn polishing their oifeiise,
which locked so drab at Columbia
last weekend. 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.

ly. 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.

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.
