TIIREE THE DAILY NEBRASKAN, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1938 Cyclone Twists Huskers, 8-7 LD(DLOT By Norman Harris Nebraska is looking for a quar terback who can call signals, di agnose an opponent's weakness, pick the plays that will take a football over the goal line in four downs from the five yard line.... Nebraska is looking for backs who can keep opposing ends from crashing into passers and kickers, who can help the fullback and center make a few tackles. .. .Ne braska Is looking for a set of pass defenders who will be able to knock down at least a few passes that come floating thru the air with "Knock me down" tagged on to their seams. .. .Nebraska is looking for a smooth combination of eleven men that can run, block, and co-ordinate their individual ac tion into a machine that will be abel to beat some of the teams on the 1938 schedule. .. .Nebraska is looking for plenty. Nebraska has material, one of the best coaches in the game, some of the best backs and linemen in the country. .. .but It seems that all that material, those linemen, those backs each seem to want to play the game separately. Conference Crown Hopes Dim; Erratic Playing Trips N.U. WW HOTEL LINCOLN the finest ballroom and banquet facilities Biff Juggles Lineup; Seeks Clicking Unit; Kischer Paces Iowa BY NORMAN HARRIS. Hopes for a ninth Big Six con ference championship for Nebras ka university's football history were considerably dimmed yester day as Jim Yeager's Iowa State eleven squeezed out an 8 to 7 vic tory over a band of weak block ing, erratic Cornhuskers before some 27,000 fans, in what will probably be the biggest upset within the conference this season. Standing on his own 3 yard line in the early part of the third quar ter, Harry Hopp, attempting to Vick, saw a gallant Iowa State line rush him hard, saw his kick blocked, then ran into the end zone to fall on the ball to hand Iowa State a 2 point lead the 2 points that lost the game for the Huskers. Harry's action saved a touch down, however, as four Iowa Staters were rushing for the ball as the nimble Hopp downed it. Initial Tally. Late in the third quarter, with the ball resting on the Scarlet 9 yard mark. Iowa State's Reupke hit out hard around the right side of his line, ran into a host of Hus ker tacklers, and turned around, lateraled to Kischer, the latter picking the ball out of the air, sidestepping thru his own right tackle to evade four Husker tack lers for a jaunt which netted 6 points. Kischer missed the point, but that touchdown was all the Cyclones needed. Early in the final period, Ne braska took a weak Kischer punt on the Cyclone 24. Backs in mo tion cost the Huskers 5, and Hopp missed on a pass down the middle to Kahler. Then, fading back to the Iowa State 44, he let fly a long, high wobbler, which found its mark in the outstre t c h e d (i i ina vi i. o J Prochaska o n the Cyclone 1, Sir Raymond stepping into the end zone with the Hus k e r s' only tou c h d o w n.

Herm Rohrig missed field goal at tempts during the course of the game, Hopp's being blocked, while Rohrig's and Kischer's were wide. Kischer Stands Out. Outstanding back on the field, probably the brightest back seen on the Husker lot for many a moon, was 155 pounds of dynamite and agility, under the monicker of Evetett Kischer. Passing, punt ing, running, returning punts, placekicking, calling signals, and blocking not a triple threater, but a man who did everything pos sible for one football player to do j in one game. I Perfect engineering of the Iowa i State touchdown drive was his greatest achievement. Returning i Porter's punt from his own 24 to j the Cyclone 41, he went into his act. A pass to Heileman was I ' fTT'" cood for nine.

From the Cyclone 20, Rohrig's attempt at a field goal was wide. Once again, on the Cyclone 23, the Husker attack bogged, with Hopp's attempted field goal being blocked on fourth down. The game ended with Thurston Phelps being tackled twice for losses while he was trying to pass . . . the first time throwing the ball away, incurring a 15 yard penalty, the second time, staging the most pitiful sight a football fan can see . . . alone with three Cyclones on his back, trying to pass in a desperate effort to pull the game out of the fire ... he was downed 20 yards back cf his own scrimmage line. persingIireItaff (Continued from Page 1.) promote close-order drill effi ciency among the various R.O.T.C. units.
