Nebraska was a greatly im

pass defense was great, only one

completed. Luther batted down
several crucial passes and turned
in a great defensive game. The

backs to gains of five and six
yards. Standouts in the forward
wall were Burruss, E. Schwartz
kopf. Alfson, Abel and Sam
Schwartzkopf. However the en
tire front line turned in a great
performance.
Both teams were expected to use
passes but only a dozen aerials
were used. Nebraska threw but
one pass and it was completed for
a five yard gain. The Gophers
used 11 forwards, 1 was completed
ami 1 intercepted. The Gophers
and the Huskers reverted to their
running attack, displaying tricky
formations, spinners and reverses.
Gophers held.
Minnesota which is supposed to
have one of the greatest teams
in some time, had mighty tough
going. Their backs got away for
several nice runs, one by Van
Every was gd for 31 yards. The
Gophers flicked up four straight
first downs as the second half
opened, and carried the ball from
their own 33 to the Husker 9 be
fore they were checked. Franck,
Van Eveiy and Christiansen were
the standout Gopher backs. Mari
ucci, Pedersen and Bjorcklund
wer the line stars.
Statistically the two teams were
about even, each team earning
eight first downs. Nebraska had
a net yardage gained of 138. while
Minnesota gained 171 yards. Ne

BOB DeFRUITER.
Bob DeFruiter, ace Husker
sophomore halfback from Lex
ington, scored the touchdown
that beat Minnesota yesterday.
The play, around Nebraska's
right end, completely fooled the
Gopher line, and two members
of the secondary failed to drive
DeFruiter out of bounds before
he crossed the goal.
Yanks batter
Reds again
The New York Yanks made it
three in a row over Cincinnati's
Reds in the world series yesterday.
Nearly 35,000 people watched
the New Yorkers get their seven
mns off five hits given by three
Ited pitchers. Four of the hits
were homers two by Charley
Keller, one by Joe DiMaggio and
one by Dickey. Lefty Gomez
started for the Yanks, but Bump
Hadley. who replaced him in the
second inning, got credit for the
win.
The Yanks got two in the first,
two In the third, and three in the
fifth, while the Keds got one in
the first and the other two in the
second. Hadley held them score
less from that time, and the Yanks
couldn't cross the plate in the last
four innings.

It seems to be pretty fatal for
Minnesota to win a football game
by 62 points before they meet the
Huskers. . .they won by a score of
69-7 from North Dakota State be
fore they lost to Nebraska here
two years ago, and beat Arizona
62-7 last Saturday. . .maybe it's
the Lincoln atmosphere that's
hard on them.
Little Eddie Schwartzkopf, 175
pound guard and a sophomore,
looked great playing against
Gophers 25 and 30 pounds heavier
His brother Sam, playing at
right tackle, also did plenty well
for himself The town of Wisner
has been pretty bothersome to
Minnesota teams. Four years ago
Jerry LaNoue scored Nebraska's
only touchdown against the Goph
ers. Yesterday junior guard War
ren Alfson played a great game
against the Minnesotans, stopping
countless line plays.
That Husker pass defense Im
proved with age exactly one pass
yesterday. That got them a first
down late in the game deep in
their own territory and didn't do
any harm. The Huskers weren't
giving the passers much time, and
when they did they had the in
tended receivers well in hand.
Butch Luther made a great inter
ception to stop a Gopher thrust
in the third quarter, and turned
in one great defensive game
coming in hard on running plays
to make a number of tackles at
the line of scrimmage.
On occasion there was a Gopher
pretty well open far down the
field, but Van Every overthrew
him. One Nebraska fan sitting in
the stadium heaved a sigh of re
lief, and said, "Boy, I'm glad that
wasn't Debus passing for Minne
sota." DeBus, in case you didn't
know, is the Lincoln High Paul
Christman.
Another remark we might save
for prosperity. One fellow re
marked "I guess Nebraska will
keep Biff another year now."

Merrill Englund "Gee. I'll bet
Arizona sure thinks Nebraska has
a swell team"... by two unidenti

team won.
