There's a little story behind that
touchdown run of "Red" Zimmer
a week ago in the Indiana-Iowa
game... It goes like this: Hal
Hursh, Hoosier signal caller, dis
obeyed (without knowing) Coach
McMillin's orders... As a result,
Indiana scored a touchdown on the
play and beat Iowa. . .
It seems that Harold "Red"
Zimmer was sent into the game
with Instructions from the bench
to call for a quick kick... He
couldn't talk on the first nlav from
scrimmage after his substitution
...Mursn caned a running play
with little Red carrying the ball
...Boom a touchdown and the
Hoosiers won 10-6 . . .
Before yesterday, there were
10 prominent Catholic universi
ties with only 5 losses between
them... These schools were Notre
Dame, Georgetown, Boston Col
lege, Duquesne, Marquette, De
troit, Holy Cross, Villanova, Man
hattan and Fordham...

Schwartzkopf -the little man with

Chief visitor on the Oregon
State campus last week was Ed
Atherton, P ac i f i c Coast con
ference athletic commissioner, who
was confabing with Orange ath
letic moguls... He was merely
checking a routine practice on
freshman football players and
their eligibility. . .Oh!. . .
Michigan's All-American half
back, Tommy Harmon, is also
quite a baseball pitcher of some
note ... He once pitched three no-
hitters in a single summer. . .
Good old Byron "Whizzer"
White, former Colorado star, Is
right on top in the National pro
leagues as the leading ground
gainer. . .Whizzer had 247 yards In
83 attempts for an average of 3
yards per try according to the pro
statistics released last week. . .
Bernie Bierman placed a notice
on the Gopher athletic bulletin
board Wednesday night... It read,
"Iowa gave us our most disgrace
ful defeat of the 1939 season,
WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO
ABOUT IT?"...
At the other end of the board,
another sign said, "It's going to be
a real tough Job, but if you beat
Iowa by more than on full touch
down (7 points) there will be no
work on Monday"...

Gridiron grits,
hits and bits
in Huskcr win
By Bill Flory.
Pitching Paul met his Waterloo
at Lincoln. Such was the thought
of Nebraska U rooters as they
filed out of the Memorial stadium
Saturday afternoon. The outcome,
20 to 7. The principals, Nebraska
and Missouri. The winner, NE
BRASKA.
The crowd at the game was a
record breaker for Big Six play.
The old record held by Missouri
was broken by some few thousand
as 37,000 filed thru the turnstiles
to view the proceedings of the
afternoon.
Several changes were evident in
the Nebraska style of play 'since
that of the Indiana game of two
weeks back. 'One could see Butch
Luther playing the safety position
for the first team and also Allen
Zikmund, for the seconds, was new
at the job.
Missouri found the battering
style of play exhibited by the
Huskers much much too difficult
to cope with. Power set up all the
scores even tho the final bid was
made thru the air.
Petsch in long run.
Most spectacular running play
of the game was that turned in by
Roy Petsch on his goalward bound
scamper early in the game. It was
a double reverse affair with Hopp
giving the ball to Luther who in
turn handed it to the Cowboy
Petsch toured around his left end
into the Mizzou secondary and
then cut back to his right and out
ran several threatening gold-
shirted defenders to reach the goal
some 53 yards in the distant hori
zon.
As was expected an aerial
bombardment was the order of the
day. Nebraska had Rohrig and
Hopp, and Missouri boasted Christ
man. All three were at their best.
Rohrig connected with a beauty to
Luther for the second Husker
counter. Hopp hit Luther for the
third and Christman picked out
Beattie for the one and only Tiger
point maker.
Luther snags 'em.
Luther was full of glue" on both
of his pointer catches. Both were
snagged on the run and both were
right on the mark.
Christman was always danger
ous. He threw high arching pass
es, he threw long and short arch
ers and he threw long and short
bullet passes. In fact he threw all
the passes there are in the book.

Petsch runs 53 yards,
Luther scores on flips
from Hopp and Rohrig
By Jim Evinger.
Nebraska is cooking with gas!
Missouri was put into a broiling pot, Saturday afternoon,
and was promptly raked over the coals by the husking Iluskers
to the tune of 20 to 7. Nebraska's second consecutive Big Six
victory came before a crowd of 37,000 fans, the second largest
to ever squeeze into Memorial stadium.
There's an old axiom about too many cooks spoiling the
broth, but the numerous chefs that trotted' out oh the field for
the Iluskers, Saturday, spelled the word "defeat" for the
Missouri Tigers.
The Huskers combined hard
running power and scoring punch
via the air lanes to sink the Tiger
hopes of repetition as conference
champion. The 1939 titlcholdcrs
were stopped at every point except
for a few completed passes in the
closing minutes one that gave
Mizzou its only score.
Chief Chef Harry Hopp aided
by his capable assistants Hermic
'Rohrig, Butch Luther, Roy Petsch,
and Vike Francis mixed up a
brilliant array of ingredients in
marking up Nebraska's third win
against a lone setback.
Nebraska got to percolating
scoring points with eight minutes
gone in the first quarter. Co-captain
Roy "Cowboy" Petsch took
the ball on a double reverse and
sped some 53 yards to score.
Petsch scampers
The Cowboy took the ball from
Butch Luther, who first swiped it
from Harry Hopp, and then went
wide around his left end and cut
back to midfield barely slipping
out of the grasp of a clutching
hand at his foot on the 10 yard
line to score standing up.
Vike Francis placekicked the
ball into the wind for the seventh
point.
Nebraska's second team took
over in the second quarter and
crept to the Missouri 11 once be
fore a pass was intercepted and
again to the 4 where a fourth down
end-around play by Jerry Kathol
lost 11 yards.
At this point, the Biffer decided
that a score was really necessary
so he sent in his first string with
Rohrig in the tailback slot
From the Missouri 47, the Husk
ers set forth their determination
to score again. Rohrig flipped a
pass to Luther for a first down
on the Tiger 36.
On the next play, Rohrig fired
one to Luther who caught the ball
in stride on the 8 and crossed
without being touched. All-American
Paul Christman made a leap
ing attempt to bat the aerial down
but the pass was over his head
and into the awaiting arms of the
Butcher Boy.
Rohng's placement for the ex
tra point split the cross bars and
Nebraska left the field at the half
with a 14-0 advantage. The sec
ond score came with a minute and
a half remaining in the second
period.
Seconds show drive
Midway in the third canto, the
first team worked the ball down
to the Tiger 29 with some help of
double reverses. At this point, the
Biffer sent in his second stringers.
Wayne Blue and Dale Bradley
made it a first down on the 18,
and then on second down, Bradley
fumbled on the 12 and Missouri
recovered. This ended the lone
Husker threat in the third quarter.
At the start of the final period,
the Huskers started to march
and march they did some 67
yards to a score. Hopp, Francis,
and Luther carried the brunt of
the attack with Hopp passing to
Luther in the end zone for a four
yard gain and a touchdown. Fran
cis attempt from placement for
the added point was wide.
Christman patse
For the remainder of the game,
Christman unwound his great
passing arm and demonstrated to
the Huskers one reason why he is
an All-American. His passes began
hitting their marks and set tem
porary fear into Nebraskan hearts.
Francis intercepted one aerial
on his 23 that staved off an at
tempted score, but fumbled two
plays later on the same yard line
to set up the pins for the Tiger
score.
On fourth down, Christman
passed to Charles Beattie on the
goal line for the only Tiger touch'
down. Ted Uebig placekicked the
extra point to end the scoring.
Missouri strategy worked on the
ensuing kickoff when a short

roller was recovered by Beattie.
A last desperate pass by Christ
man, however, was intercepted by
Hopp in the end zone for a touch
back. The last play found the
Huskers sitting on the ball and
the Tigers and lastly the old ball
game.
In rehashing the stars of the
game, the driving of Harry Hopp
stood out above the rest of the
field. He threw two touchdown
passes and was bulling his way
through the Tiger line with the
drive of a first degree fullback.
Vike Francis was getting some
drive into his plunges and was
fighting for every few extra yards
he could get in his plunges. Altho
he failed to score, the Viscount
was a big factor in those scoring
marches.
Butch Luther caught two neatly
thrown passes by Hermie Rohrig
and Hopp that stole a lot of thun
der from the vaunted air attack
of the Tigers.
Petsch does good
Roy Petsch was calling the
plays with the mind of a coach.
His run through the Tiger team
in the first quarter set the ball
rolling.
Hermie Rohrig took the ball
Just two times in the first half
and a touchdown resulted.
The second team backfield with
Allen Zikmund, Theos Thompson,
Wayne Blue and Dale Bradley
failed to score, but threatened
several times.
The line play of Warren Alfson,
Forrest Behm, Co-captain Bob
Burruss, Eldie Schwartzkopf and
Ray Prochaska stood out.

Better team
than other
years'-Himt
By Harl Hunt.
Ed's Note: Hunt was a sports
reporter on the DAILY last year
and was in the stands Saturday.
From a birds-eye view of yes
terday's Husker-Tigcr clash, (I
was surrounded by flays, balloons,
bits of torn paper, and one quite
exasperating heavily-feathered hat
perched on the dome of a sweet
young thing directly in front of
me. Besides sitting on the 20-yard
line) it seems to me that the Scar
let and Cream boys, with one ac
cord shared by the whole team,
set out to do a job and did it.
There was none of the horseplay
and back-slapping stuff which ac
company most games. The Husk
ers were a grim, determined lot.
They worked smoothly, precisely,
like a machine. That is, from what
I saw of the game.
Somehow a big, sticky wad of
gum worked its way between my
outermost boundary and seat.
You've never been around until
you've had the exquisite pleasure
of pulling sticky gum off your
pants, getting it all over the rest
of your clothes and maybe even
your neighbor's fur coat.
Well, as I was saying, the band
was swell. The card section was
improved over last year, too. But
I was sitting on the same side a
little to the right and couldn't see
much of that either.
One thing I did notice, though.
Nebraska has eleven men on its
team. That is, every one of them
was a highly important cog in
successfully bottling up Christ
man and Gang.
Butch Luther showed the nifti
est pair of hips in twisting and
dodging thru would-be Missouri
tacklers since Sajly Rand was in
her hey-day.
Of course, this is the first foot
ball game I've seen this year. Not
that that makes much difference,
because I think most sports writ
ers are bound to get a little stale
from seeing so many games all
the time.
However, from my own personal
little point of view, the Boys from
Cornhuskerland put on one of the
finest exhibitions of modern foot
ball that has been our pleasure to
witness in many a moon.
