According to the Azzi-Ratem
system, Nebraska rate 14th in
this week's national standings of
the college football teams.. . .The
Huskers are also rated 7 points
better than the Sooners in the Sat
urday clash by the same system...
Add tales about Missouri's Paul
Christman:
During the heat cf the Titts-burgh-Missourl
football pame,
Capt. Ed Konetsky of the Panth
ers broke through and smeared
Christman after he let loose one
of his precision passes.
Christman looked down and
Jested, "Is that any way to treat
a Kappa Sig brother?"
"It's what the doctor ordered,"
the Pitt leader retorted.
"What a sense of humor he
must have," the conversation con
tinued. By that time play was ready to
resume, and after helping each
other up, Konestky called back
over his shoulder as he trotted
back into position, "Don't forget
to stop by the house tonight."
Little Jack Welsh is ene of
Penn's star backs yet he weighs
only 147 pounds. .. Nick Loncarlc
and Franklin Yoder are the prom
ising frosh athletes at Gonzaga.
...Both are grads of Boys Tdwn
of Omaha.. . .
There has not been a major un
defeated, untied, unscored-on
eleven in the nation since 1933
when DePauw so honored itself. . .
In 1917 and 1919, Coach Dana
Bible, then with Texas A. & M.,
sent his Aggies thru UUU years.
...This also happened to be con
secutive as Bible did not coach in
1918....
Logan Ware, first string half
back for TCU, played only five
minutes with freshmen team In
1937 He failed to win his frosh
numeral, but this fall he will win
his third varsity "T"....
Choice for Ail-American substi
tute: Johnny Butler, second string
quarterback for Tennessee, should
hold this title. . . . He'd probably be
the number one signal caller on
any other college eleven....
In 1939, Butler subbed for a sub
against Alabama and set the Vols
going with a 47 yard touchdown
sprint.... In the same game this
year and still a sub, Butler made
dashes of 50 and 67 yards and
threw a scoring pass. . . .
"Funny people, these football
wolves.. . .When Clark Shaugh
nessy came to Stanford last win
ter from Chicago, there were many
disgruntled remarks from the In
dian grade.. ..New, that Stanford
Is flying high, wide and handsome
toward the Rose Bowt, doesnt
hear those caustic remark any
more. After three fames this fall,
Stanford was the only unbeaten r
untied coast conference school:.. .
The Indiana were victorious only
once In 1939.... When the Indians
defeated the Santa Clara Broncos,
it was the first win in five years
over the Claras for Stanford in
five years.. . .

Big line fronts
for speeding
Sooner backs
The Okies from Oklahoma are
big. Thus is the theme of all dis
patches from Soonerland. Blessed
with the heftiest squad east of the
Southern California campus. Sta-
dium Stidham
seems prone to ,
quite repeated- s f
ly wish for I
more speed. J
Again as in l
the past, the
Huskers will be
out - weighed.
The Sooner line
will tip the
scales at a
mere 205 aver- s
age and the j.
backs weigh in
at 180. On the
face Of things Johnay Martla.
Nebraska will be right at home
against a team on the heavier side
of things.
Point for 1941?
Rumor has it that Tom Stidham
Is preparing for next season and
is merely using this season as a
sounding board for his freshmen.
Using a big line in front of his
speedy secondary is ravin d1"
dends, however.
Speediest of the backfield speed
sters is Orvie Mathews. Hampered
by injuries the past few games,
Mathews is once again in the
groove and is gunning for action.
Along with him
we find John
Martin. Martin
is the pace set
ter for the con
ference scorers
thus far and
will be after an
increase on his
side of the col
umn Saturday.
Up front do
ing the block
ing for these
backs of course
will be jolting
Orviiie Math w. Harold Lahar.
Lahar thrives on destruction and
will be teaming with other s in the
Sooner line against the Huskers.
Chief of the headaches for the Ne
braskans will be Cliff Speegle at
center, Bill Jennings, last years
halfback and now end, and tackles
Teeter and Eason.
Speegle is the only "Old Timer"
from the champs of two years
back and has lost none of his cun
ning. Eason and Teeter at tackles
are intent on jamming the opposi
tion's plays. Jennings, converted
into an end this year to bolster
those ranks, has proved to be as
adapt at this work as he was at
lugging the ball in the backfield
last term. He loves the game
and intends to keep the end sweeps
in check Saturday.
A big line and speedy backfield
will be the problem for considera
tion by the Huskers this weekend.

UN band receives
praise; will play at

Numerous letters flowed into
Don A. Lentz's office after the
Nebraska-Kansas game compli
menting and praising the varsity
band for Its outstanding perform
ance at Lawrence. The Lincoln
Chamber of Commerce also wrote
Lentz commending the band on
its early fall achievements. Ac
cording to the director the 1940
band seems to have more volume
and ability than any previous UN
marching band.
Dick Paytinger, president of the
band committee, announced that
the band would make a trip to
David City Friday. Only sopho
mores and above will make the
trip. They will present maneuvers
at the "hair of the David City

Sooners have
been eyeing
UN all year
Coach Tom "Stadium" Stidham
is ready to shoot the works against
the Huskers, Saturday, at Norman,
when his Sooner boys play host
to the Cornhuskers.
According to a report by Bus
Ham, Oklahoman sports editor,
the first question that was asked
by the Sooners arriving in the
dressing room following their 20-7
conquest over Iowa State was
this:
"How did Nebraska come out?"
Since the Texas U game early
this fall, the Sooners have been
pointing for the clash with Ne
braska. They have been playing
their games with one thought
about beating the Huskers and a
general thought of winning the
game in which they were partici
pating.
Record crowd?
Norman is expecting the Ne
braska game to be the year's
highlight of the Sooner season. Al
ready, the crowd attendance is
expected to toy all former records.
The record for Owen field is Z8.091
set two years ago when Nebraska
played there.
Thusly, the Nebraskans have
work cut out for them as they
are marked men. Oklahoma and
Nebraska are the only ones in
the Big Six race without a scar
on their records placed there by
a conference opponent.
Tha general belief is that the
winner of the Husker-Sooner clash
will be the ultimate champion in
the Big Six for 1940. Therefore,
it will be a tooth and nail game
down there at Norman on Satur
day. Monday night the squad looked
at slow motion pictures of the
Missouri game and had a' skull
session.
Tuesday afternoon, the squad
was sent thru more passing drills
both on the offense and defense.
The Scout Club ran Oklahoma
plays against the seconds, while
the firsts ran Husker plays on the
frosh.
Hermie Rohrig was out for
practice but failed to take part
in the actual contact work. His
ailing arm is still not completely
o. k. A newcomer to squad again
is Burdette Wertman, sophomore
end, who has been out since the
Minnesota game with an injury.

hear that song again? Do that

structions that put would-be re
viewers in misery. The answer
was always, the more we do it
the worse it gets."
Other questions.
Other questions, this is a ques
tion and answer contest, went "Do
the lights come up then or is it
still dark? How much room will
the props and set use?"
Enough to put any skit master
In a padded cell.
(It will always come out in the
end. On Saturday, Nov. 16, at. the
Nebraska theater will be the real
test There will be a vast audience
to judge them. This is simple.)
After much head nodding and
shaking the group finally gets the
cue to leave. Filing out in the
same solemn manner they usually
leave thla remark. "It always
