It's Nebraska against an ex biggie in the footworld wars Sat urday afternoon. The glorious days of victory after victory by Plttsgurgh over any and nearly all rivals have come and gone. The "de-emphasizing" process took care of that. Since this "pureness" has cropped into the Panther hold, the Pitters have had only mediocre success Now the pressure is off the footballers of Pitt to win every game before them. So, Pittsburgh will be on the same level as Ne braska when the two clash in the Pitt bowl tomorrow to once again settle their grid arguments. 30,000 crowd Upwards to 30,000 fans are ex pected to file into the Pitt horse shoe, which does not fill the sta dium by long ways, It; is a matter of amateur against amateur now just the way the Cornhuskers like it. Consensus of football experts gives the edge to the Huskers over the Panthers. But pre-game predictions don t mean a thing when the Scarlet opponent hap pens to be Pittsburgh. In this one of the top-flight intsrsectional clashes of the day the Huskers will be gunning for their sixth victory in their last six starts. The Panther record shows two wins, two losses and one tie. You Husker fans might look for a combined passing and fullback duel in the Saturday battle. What with Nebraska's Hermie Rohng and Harry Hopp firing forwards against Pittsburgh's Edgar Jones and Bob Thurbon. the air show should be spectacular to watch. Husker Vike Francis and Pitt George Kracum will carry the backfield running show. They are two of the best fullbacks in the country and are driving with steamroller force. The winner of this duel may carry his team to victory. Nebraska's Jine is decidedly the better on the standpoint of rec ords and the defensive strength on a sloppy field and cold day may weigh the battle in this bal lance. Husker co-captains for the Sat- 2-milers leave for Columbia, Big Six meet Led by diminutive Bob Ginn, crack sophomore track star, Hus ker two-mile runners left for Co lumbia, Mo., early this morning to compete in the Big Six confer ence race to be run at the Tiger stronghold Saturday afternoon. The team members who are making the trip are Ginn, Harold Brooks, Gothenburg; Dale Garrely, Diller, and Bob Cook of North Loup. The four tracksters are ac companied by Harold Petz, Ed Weir's chief assistant. Nebraska is given the edge in the meet due' to its victories over Iowa State and Missouri earlier in the season, however, Oklahoma is given a good chance of defeat ing the boys. Oklahoma two weeks ago nudged the Cornhuskers by a one point margin. The championship in the two mile run counts as much as foot ball, basketball or track on the Big Six sports program and it will help the cause materially if the championship is brought back. Ginn is the favorite at present to annex the first place spot only after some good competition from Oklahoma's Bill Lyda and Thaine High of Kansas State fame. urday melee will be George Knight, senior quarterback, and Leonard Muskin, senior tackle. Capt. Ted Konetsky will lead the Panthers to battle. Coach Biff Jones will probably name his usual lineup for the clash with the possible exception of Hopp and Knight. The latter may start in place of Roy Petsch and Hopp may give way to Rohrig. Otherwise the lineup will prob ably read Prochaska and Preston, ends; Bthm and Royal Kahler, tackles; Schwartzkopf and A If son, guards; Burrusa, center; Francis, fullback, and Walt Luther, right halfback.
