braska on the Cyclone 31. On a
lateral, Rohrig went to the 15,
from where Butch Luther, on a
reverse, broke away for the Scar
let touchdown. Rohrig made it
two perfect boots for the day.
Sustained drive.
With the count now 10-0, in the
middle of the fourth period, the
Cyclones stage a sustained drive
from the Husker 46 to the yard
line. After being stopped three
times, the Cyclones sent Seaburg
thru a hole at left guard for a
counter.
The Huskers first score came
after Rohrig had put the Staters
back on their own 2 with a splen
did kick. Wallace, from behind his
goal, booted to llermie on the
home team's 36, and Hermie got
back to the 15.
On end runs, Hermie got to the
10, then dropped back and kicked
his three points.
Punt exchanging characterized
the rest of the quarter as neither
team threatened.
In the second quarter, Hopp
fumbled a Cyclone punt and Mick
elson recovered for the Staters on
the Husker 24. Osborne went to
the 17, but Knight pulled an aerial
from Seaburg's hands out of the
air to end the threat.
Lose ground on kicks.
Losing ground on kicks into the
wind, the Huskers found Iowa
State one of their 12 as the half
ended.
At the beginning of the second
half, with about five minutes gone,
Alfson found his fumble and
Luther scored to send the Husk
ers out ahead 10-0. After Hopp's
blocked kick in the fourth quarter,
the Staters scored with Lewis con
verting. With the game nearly over, the
Cyclones threatened again, but
Hopp intercepted a Wallace pass
on the Husker 20 and wont clear
to his 41. Nebraska was on its
own 43 as the game ended.

Daily framed
A lesson was learned Friday.
At 4:30 that afternoon, the
mighty DAILY football team was
to annex again the publications
championship from the Corn
husker squad.
At 2:30, Yearbook Editor Hag
gard Hager, bitter in the memory
of 1938's stinging setback, and un
able to find enotgh men with cour
age to face the icy breezes and the
DAILY power, apologetically stum
bled into the DAILY office, seek
in to call off the game.
Trusting, as DAILY staff mem
bers do in a spirit of friendship,
the DAILY representatives agreed.
Disbanding the DAILY squad.
Coach June Bierbower agreed that
the postponed tilt could be ar
ranged at a future date, when the
morale and numbers of the Corn
husker squad were at a higher
mark.
Don't believe them.
At 4 :30, sure of victory, because
the DAILY team believed the
game postponed, the annualites
took a quick peep at the field
through the window of a speed
ing car, and seeing nothing but
grass and chalk marks, claimed
a victory.
The title remains in the DAILY
locker-room. Until a game is
scheduled, played, and won by one
of the teams, it remains DAILY
property. It will anyway, and
there are just weeks and weeks
of football playing season remain
ing. What fish tales
must be heard
in game course
When the word gets around In
Nebraska boyville about a compar
atively new course now offered at
the college of agriculture, there
may be a flood of application for
advance registration in . . . say . . .
the class of 1950.
Some 25 student enrolled in a
game management course taught
by Dr. A. L. Frolik of the agron
omy department will visit the state
fishery at Gretna Sunday to study
the different kind of fish there
... how they are raised and fi
nally liberated in streams over the
state.
Recently several Lincoln dog
owners demonstrated flushing and
retrieving of game birds under the
direction of Mr. E. Wedgwood for
the benefit of the class. In the
near future, the students plan a
trip to the state game farm south
of Norfolk; and perhaps a visit to
one of Nebraska's privately owned
silver fox farms, to learn funda
mentals of the fur-growing busi
ness. Serious goals.
But the course is more than a
nchool boy's dream of fun and field
trips. Taught in cooperation with
the university's department of con
servation and survey, it is de
signed for two serious goals: First,

It's a pretty good thing the
Huskers were playing Iowa State !
instead of Pittsburgh yesterday j
...the combination of an inspired'
Cyclone team and a mediocre day
for Nebraska made things look
not so hot for the Hu.skers. . .The
Cyclones could take advantage of
only one break, a blocked punt,
but there was another partially
blocked punt, two fumbled punts
in Husker territory, and a kick
off recovery by the Cyclones after
the Nebraska field goal, all of
which would have been meat to
Pitt... the only time the Huskers
fumbled against Minnesota last
Saturday, they turned back the
Gophers, tho. But the post-Minnesota
game, usually pretty bad for
Nebraska, is over and safely in
the Huskers hands, even tho the
score wasn't so hot.
Well pause here for a little
note, though. Bear with us in this
dissertation, because we didn't see
the game, but heard it from a
veddy easy arm chair, and seeing
it and hearing it are two different
things. Incidentally, the Huskers
again used only one pass they
don't seem to want to risk throw
ing it away once they get ahead.
On the bright side of the ledger,
tho, was the fact that the Husk
ers didn't let the Cyclones take
advantage of more breaks and
again the pass defense was func
tioning, with the Huskers coming
thru with four pass interceptions,
one each by Vike Francis Harry

Nebraska's defense was gener
ally good; the forward line was
checking the Cyclone advance
pretty well all afternoon. The
Huskers rose to the heights in
stopping the Iowans at the goal
line door. The Cyclones had a
first down on the one foot line and
it took the Iowa Staters four plays
to push the ball over, with Sea
burg going over.
Huskers held.
Fumbles, penalties and the long
kicks of Wallace and Osborne kept
the Huskers deep in their own
territory a good share of the last
half.

the victory. Lecht.nberg's fumble

Wallace's kick to the 15, and then

kick for the Husker for the first
time yesterday and did a great
job. He stood on his own 15,
and booted one out on the Cyclone

one out on the Cyclone one, with
the ball finally rolling over the
goal line.
