NOVEMBER 16. 1937 Ill SKERS 'ROSE" TO HEIGHTS THIS WEEK. Ho who laughs last laughs laughs ( or what ever that ditty is. Many have flung the state ment in our lace that the Huskers couldn't posibly wind up in the money this week after their trim ming back east Saturday. Yesterday we learned that the officialratlng placed Nebraska rot 11th, but 6th this week- All of which goes to show that our l ids of the Scarlet should not let fielr hair down, but should feel that they d(d themselves proud against Tin. To say that Ne braska ti a mere 6th means little, except that there are S teams over them; but to say that they a.e this week in direct line for the Rose Bowl, makes our emotion fct, not pity Pitt, but pittv pat. We aren't savin' that it will be, but we are saving that the Husk ers are mighty apt to sneak up on that Flower Field without know ing it. The standings this week Include: 1 Pitt. 6 Nebraska 2 California 7 Minnesota 3 Fordham 8 Indiana 4 Alabama 9 Santa Clara 5 Yale 10 Colorado Making thorn run the gauntlet of scrutinization we find that only one of those leading five will be j In line for the Rose Bowl fracas i : and that one is Yale. Pitt is nearlv definitely out, even though they : are undisputedly the nation's i champs this year. They have worn ! out their welcome in California and the cash customers want to see someone new. The same goes for Alabama and Fordham. though there is a slight possibility that the latter might accept. California doesn't have a chance. This leaves It up to Yale and Nebraska. Two of the leading dailies out in the state where rain is dew (California) have been persistently nodding at the state where rain is due (Nebras ka for the Posey honors. They believe that the Huskers have i something flashy in football which p iple out their way have n't teen. By flashy, we don't know whether they mean that our gridders of the plains play on the backs of cow ponies or not. However, Californians do seem to consider Nebraska as some thing novel in griddlng. Yale, sticking in the top bracket, makes things a little more difficult, for she has a mighty potent name. She is an old school, venerated with football tradition. However, as has been suggested, the Huskers at least have chance at the Sugar Bowl, for they have a mighty sweet team. Schimmel Watches Celebration. A. Q. Schimmel, owner and watch dog of the Cornhusker hotel here in Lincoln, had a field day laughing at the Saturday cele bration in Pittsburgh, for he knew they couldn't touch a single insti tution under Schimmel manage ment. Having nearly $1,000 dam age done to his place following the Minnesota game, it was somewhat to Abe's glee to see the populace devastate Hotel William Tenn in Pitt. The mad mob ransacked the lobby, from which all the fur niture had been previously re moved. Three Huskers Named. From the lengthy list of All American nominees, Nebraska had three sons. They were Elmer Dohrmann at end, Fred Shirey at tackle, and Charlie Brock at center. Pittsburgh had nearly a full team of possibilities named, in cluding three ends. Huskers Lead Big Ten. With two victories in the Big Ten conference, Nebraska stands as nfar the head of the statistics of that lop as any of its members If the Huskers should take the Hawkeyes this Saturday, as the dope sheet says they will, they . vill be undefeated in three starts No member team usually competes lit any more conference games than this. In the east it is prophe sied that the Jonesmen will be Big Ten member In not one, but two years. SHOELESS 'CUB' SCRIBE WATCHES HUSKER MERMEN By Buck Powell. Shoeless, and with coid feet, one of the new sports cubs took look at the varsity splashers yesterday and found' that Pete Hagelin the senior tankster, who acts as coach, is looking for a man. And what is more he really wants to find him. That man Is Jack Barry, the asy going chap that holds a couple of coveted Eig Six titles. It looks as if Coach Hagelin would like to insure the chances of a re peat on said titles. Lettermen Shaping Up. With the exception of Barry, all the other eligible senior lettermen are shaping into a well-rounded squad that would satisfy most any coach at this point o early In the season. Senior lettermen who have re turned, include Dick Leask, the flashy diving artist, Ludwig, Ful lerton, and Hagelin. Supplement ing these boys are Jack Redick. Fletcher Spicer, and Jack Davis representing the cream of the ophomores. Fred 'Shanghai' Fairman, the boy from the Far East, and Harry Eyck are working diligently and Indications point to good material here for future use, as these bovs are new additions from freshman ranks. ;, DUYUJ (Heb) J I ys 1u. -,.

It was a glum yet jubilant squad of doughty Cornhusker gridmen who returned Monday from Pitts- j burgh, where they dropped their ; first tilt oi the season to the pow-1 e r f u 1 P i 1 1 J Tanthers. 13-7. The thought of losing a game after leading for more than 45 minutes showed its effects on the squad as it went thru its practice in preparation for the game with Iowa Saturday a t Memorial Stadium. On arriving h Am t h LLOYD GRIMM Hu!iUe;. found Vrum Tb. Journal t perched atop the Big Six standings as Kansas, leader the past three weeks, was shunted aside 7-0 by an inspired Kansas State Crew. Should the Huskers defeat their next ad versary. Kansas State Nov- 27 at Manhattan, they would have sole ownership of the diadem. Big Injury List. A heavy Injury toll was paid by the Jonesmen in their heart-rending conflict with Dr. Sutherland's burly Panthers. Lloyd Grimm, end, and Lowell English, guard, are in the infirmary suffering from a pulled leg muscle and abdominal trouble, reflectively. Swathed in bandages was the pegging hand of Johnny. Howell while Charley Brock, center, was carrying bis right hand in splint ers. However, this duo is expected to be ready for the Hawkeye game Saturday. Jack Dodd, Harris An drews, Fred Shirey and Bill Calli han received minor hurts last week but khould be ready for play this week as they all partook of yes terday's workout. Wintry blasts swept across Me morial stadium yesterday, and the squad took a 20-mlnute rehearsal on pass offense and then scurried to wanner environment under the east stadium. Methods of combat ing Iowa plays were explained by Coach Browne as the varsity played the role of onlookers. Iowa Outplay Indiana. Returning from Iowa City where he mapped the Iowa-Indiana bat tle, Scout Adolph Lewandowslcl, told the team that the Iowans are to be feared since they outplayed Coach Bo McMillln'e Hoosiers. It took a field goal by Indiana to de feat the victory-starved Hawkeyes Altho they have won only one game, 14-7 over Bradley Tech, the Iowans have ehown spurts of win- CL.. f ning football. In Nile Kinnick, sophomore quarterback from Omaha, Iowa has a player who can cause furrows to appear on the brow of any opposing coach. He is a triple threat and waa recently voted as one of the outstanding sophomores in the Big Ten. Iowa's Last Tilt. Iowa, in concluding the Huskers' home schedule this Saturday, will ' play Its last game of the fall. Irl Tubbs, the Hawkeyees' new coach, will finish his first year at the Iowa City institution this weekend. The last time these two outfits met was in 1P3 and Nebraska re versed Iowa, then coached by Ossie Solemn, now at Syracuse, by a 14-13 count. Little or no change developed over the we'kend as far as the paltry number of the nation's undefeated teams are concerned. California's Golden Bears cinched the host role in the Rose Bowl production for New Year's day by whitewashing Oregon 26 to 0. Sectional sport pages are beating their drums In a noisy effort to secure the guest bid. It's all part of the post-season ballyhoo that keeps the sport sections alive during the fore part of winter, but to me, Ne braska will have to get along without California's salubrious and vitamin-filled clime come January 1. Chances of getting a Sugar Bowl bid, however, arent too remote for he Corn huskers who certainly merit a bowl battle, If the invitation Is tendered. More important right now is this Iow frav that rounds out the uornnustcer nome siaie mis satur- day. Indiana found the Hawkeyes, cellar Big Ten team, plenty strong j out a 3 to 0 win. Every one of thf)W ,9 vallant Hilars who at- tempted to stave off Pitt's power house attack Is tired In more w-ays than one. Nebraska's coarhes have the unenviable task of raising the team morale to complete the sea son with a Hawkeye victory, and even those who were rabid Scarlet enthusiasts B. P. (Before Pitt I are already saying that the Huskers can't rebound from the doldrums that came with the loss to Pitt. This remains to be seen. Saturday grid highlights: Kan sas' 7 to 0 loss to Kansas State puts Nebraska back on top of the Big Six with only a win over K-State neoarsary to give the Scarlet the conference crown acjaln . . . Baylor slid down the grid scales a few more notches by losing to S. M. U. 13 to 7 . . . D. X. Bible's Texans failed to keep their last week pace and lost to T. C. U. 14 to 0 . , . Oklahoma smothered Mizzou's title hopes by a 7 to 0 verdict . . , Minnesota avenged North western's victory of last year which halted the Gopher winning streak and took the Wildcats 7 to 0 . . . Iowa State nosed out Marquette 3 to 0 . . . George Henry Sauer's New Hampshire eleven beat Springfield 14 to 6 , . . Colorado's Whiuer White 1 k Dick Csssiano.

Of the 27 games th's column tried to call, 18 came out right, 6 came out wrong and 3 ended In deadlocks, which makes the average .750 for this week.
