Beryl Clark

By June Blerbower
The Kansas Jayhawks are com
ing, and by comparative scores
(did I hear someone muttering)
Nebraska is 36 points better than
the Jayhawks. But they have
Ralph Miller, a great passer who
manufactured a touchdown in two
plays against Kansas State Fri
day and wasn't it an ex-Jayhawk
who said after the Minnesota
game that a good passing attack
would have beaten the Huskers
(louder muttering) ?
Well, Saturday is Homecoming
and a chance for the Huskers to
show that disappointing defeat at
Columbia won't keep them down.
The breaks for once went the
other way, and the farther the
game went after a bad start the
worse it got as the flustered Corn
huskers couldn't get out of the
hole. To yieir credit, however,
they came back with that last pe
riod touchdown and nearly scored
another. The Huskers, mostly
juniors and sophomores, seemed
to get panicky. All-in-all, from the
reports, even though they were up
against a hot team, they weren't
the same team which Nebraska
fans saw in the two previous
games.
For the second time this year,
Nebraska outweighed the oppos
ing line . . . first time was at
Iowa State . . . give us a few
more opposing lines like Baylor
and Minnesota if those cases hold
true for the rest of the season . . .
and Nebraska won the first downs
Saturday, although they were out
yarded . . that's because a Christ
man pass of 40 yards makes only
one first down, ... 40 yards on
shorter passes and running plays
need 3 or 4 first downs.
John McDermott wrote Sun
day's As I e It, but shy Mr. Mac
seemed to he too modest to have
his name over two articles in one
edition, so his column appeared
under the name of June Bier
bower. Yours truly has made a reso
lution, said resolution being never
again to go out of town when the
Huskers are playing on the road,
except to the game away. We've
done it twice and it has both
times resulted in a 14 point de
feat. Last year we were in Omaha
as the Sooners beat N. U. 14-0,
and Saturday we were home and
not in Columbia as had been orig
inally planned.
We attended a press convention
in Hastings Friday, and with it
the Hastings-Peru game, and saw
Little Hoss Mather, former Husk
er player who lost to his studies
her, play, as well as two other
former Husker frosh, Burt Cram
er and Lou Burger. Mather plays
for Peru; the other two for Has
tings. The Arapahoe boy, best
back on the field, saw his ability
go to waste as sadly inefficient
Tcru blockers couldn't keep out of
his way, and as his pass receivers
couldn't hang on to the ball even
when Mather hit them in the
chest.
Those 27 points were the most
scored against a Nebraska team
since 1931 when Nebraska lost to
Pitt 40-0 . . . Nebraska has scored
81 points this year ... 69 mark
ers have been chalked up by jun
iors, and 12 by sophomore Bob
DeFruiter . . . not a senior has
scored a point . . . the Huskers
scored 66 points last year, but had
scored that many before Saturday
... as for points scored against
Nebraska this year they jumped
to 47 . . . all but seven by Indiana
have been in conference play . . .
84 were chalked up against the
Muskers last year ... 53 were
marked up in the first six games
... the Huskers this time in 1938
had marked up just 40 points.

for Homecoming comeback
against Kansas U Jayhawks
Husker Co-op,
Juggernauts
win crowns
Champions decided
in two Barb football
leagues last night
The Casino club presented the
Cornhusker Co-op the title of Barb
football league 4 by a 7-6, decision
to them last night Should the Ca
sino boys have won, it would have
put them on top and knocked
down the Huskers into second.
Cornhusker Co-op scored in the
first half as Fred Uhlman caught
a pass from Lynn Landgren. The
Casinoes tallied in the second half
of the game when Bob Blakewell
heaved a pass to Charles Root.
The game ended in a 6-6 tie so
overtime had to be played. Casino
club went in the hole on their four
tries while a pass from Landgren
to Kubicek was good for a Husker
touchdown. However only one
point was allowed the Co-ops be
cause the score came in the over
time period.
Much excitement came in the
last quarter when Landgren passed
to Kubicek for 30 yards. It looked
like the Huskers were on their
way for a touchdown, but they lost
the ball and Blakewell ran 20
yards as the game ended.
Juggernauts win.
The Juggernauts put the title
for league 2 in their sack when
tney aereatea A. c B. C. by a
14-0 score.
The first score came by Don
Lynch's heaving a pass to Frank
Vrtiska, while the next tally came
when John Loisel took a Lynch
pass. John Smutz kicked both
extra points.
Also in league 2 was the 21-0
victory that the Union Leaders
took over Pal club. Dick Delfs
heaved a pass to "Juke" Byers
who played sleeper, for the first
score while the same combination
accounted for the next counter,
The third score came when Byers
lateraled to Dick Dclfs who made
a long touchdown run. Bill Irwin's
pass to Ed Ockerman accounted
for the extra point. When Bill
Ockerman kicked into the end zone
and Pal club attempted to run it
out, uiey were set back for a
safety.
Tonight Hitler's Flayboys meet
the Hoosier Hot Shots for the title
of league 3. The nazi's are on top
witn four wins and no losses. The
Hot Shots have two wins and one
loss and may mix things up.

was no apparent change in the
lineup, although It may be shifted
before the Kansas tussle. Forrest
Behm and Fred Preston got the
starting call at Columbia last
week by virtue of their play
against the Kansas Staters, but
the lineup for K. U. is in doubt.
Preston and Bob Luther were
the only casualties, coming out
lame from the Mizzou battle. Both
men will be in shape to go against

Missouri in one afternoon was
able to score more points than
the five previous foes of the Husk
