Last Monday, grouped in Minne
sota's dressing room, were 18
Gophers talking over the occur
rences of the season they had just
finished . . . These dozen and a
half Gophers sat down and fig
ured out tin all-opponent team...
Of intevest to Nebraska fans
would be the fact of the two
elevens the Minnesolans picked is
that there was nary a Husker on
either team . . . But solace may
be gained from the fact, also, that
Purdue's Dave Rankin, Ail-American
end, was missing from the
first two team selections . . .
In his three years of playing
football at Missouri, Paul Christ
man has gained well over two
miles by his running and passing
. . . That's some traveling even
if it is only on a gridiron . . .
Gopher George Franck will not ac
cept any professional football of
fers, so he states, altho he will
make a majority of the all-teams
this autumn at halfback . . .
Coaches of the North-South
game in this winter's annual play
of this gridiron battle, will be
Lynn Waldorf of Northwestern
and Carl Snavely of Cornell . for
the "Yankees" ....
There is a little, chubby, red-
faced Southerner on the campus
ow and he's causing quite a bit
of attention being turned his way
The man mentioned is the
Herr Professor Henry McLemore.
This roving United Press sports
columnist was in the press box for
the Wildcat game yesterday and
will be the principal speaker at
the annual football dinner for the
Huskers at the University Club.
Monday evening. . .
Two weeks ago, this comer sent
in an A II-American team to the
National Intercollegiate Sports
Writers Association ... No man
sections but three were placed
for nomination on the side . . .

the number one ranking football
team Minnesota.
In freezing temperature, before
17,000 fans, the triumph was even
more remarkable over the Wild
cats when one recalls that the
three touchdowns were all scored
while headed into a wintry gale.
Among the 13 seniors playing
their last game were two that
shone above the rest. Highest in
the heavens twinkled the star of
Walter "The Butcher" Luther.
Right below his sparkled the name
of Herman "Roly Poly" Rohrig.
Rohrig and Luther.
These two sparked the Huskers
to the season's finale. Rohrig
scored with but two seconds to go
in the first half, while Luther's
pair of touchdowns came on re
verses in the big third quarter.
Taking the ball on their own 15
late in the second period, the
Huskers went to work and drove
for 85 yards and a touchdown,
helped by six first downs.
With last down on the 13-yard
line, Rohrig faded back to find a
pass receiver and could not locate
one, so he set sail for the goal
line. Running wide around his
right end, he found some blockers
out in front and then barrelled his
body into the end zone with a sud
den burst of speed.
Luther's reverses.
Vike Francis kicked the extra
point and, with the ball going out
of bounds on the ensuing kickoff,
the half ended with the Huskers
out in front 7-0.
The second touchdown was
marked by the reverses run by
Luther. Starting from the Ne
braska 40 after the second half
kickoff. the Huskers scored in nine
plays. Rohrig and Luther took the
ball to the Kansas State 27, where
it was last down.
From here, Luther set out on a
reverse like he ran in the Iowa
State game a week ago and wound
up by finding himself in the Wild
cat end zone. Francis' placekick
for the extra point this time went
wide.
Six plays to score.
Late in the third canto the
Huskers found the way northward
again after Rohrig intercepted
K-Stater Bill Quick's pass on his
own 35. Six plays later the Huskers
had another touchdown.
Luther, Rohrig and Francis took
the pigskin to the 25, from where
Luther took the ball on a deep re
verse and again swept into the
Aggie end zone. Rohrig put his
foot behind the placement and the
scoreboard read Nebraska 20, Kan
sas State 0.
From this point on the Major
inserted his second and third
stringers until the dying moments
of the game. Throughout the fourth
quarter the Nebraska substitutes,
with the wind at their backs, kept
the Wildcats deep in the Aggie
territory.
Three times the Huskers crept
within the Wildcat 20-yard line
and were on the Aggie 4 as the
game closed, but still failed to add
another touchdown.
Bob Kahler, Dale Bradley and
Henry Rohn went to work to take
the ball from their own 26 to the
Kansas State 17 in five plays and
made it a first down on the 5.
Two plays later Rohn fumbled and
lost the ball on the same yard line.
After the Kansas State punt, the
Huskers got to the 4 before losing
the ball on downs. Another short j
punt by the Aggies into the wind
placed the ball on the K-State 25. !
Running plays failed, and a punt
by Bradley rolled into the end
zone. The last punt by the Wild
cats came back to the Aggie 32.
A quartet of dpvea at the line
took the ball to the 18, and the
Biffer sent his first teamers back
into the game.
With the ball on the 11-yard line
and 15 seconds remaining, Rohrig
flipped a strike to Luther in the
end zone, but the score was nulli
fied because the Huskers were off
side on the play.
In rehashing the statistics of the
game, the Huskers proved that
they were by far the better team
on the field. In first downs, the
Wildcats made three (one on a
penalty ) to 24 for Nebraska.
Huskers win statistics.
In rushing, the Huskers went
395 yards to 42 for the Aggies and
had a net yard advantage of 419
to 23. In passing, the Huskers had
the edge. Nebraska completed six
out of 12 for 58 yards, while
K-State completed one out of four
for eight yards.
Individual records In the Ne
braska backfield on the standpoint
of yards gained went to Butch
Luther with 158 net yards for an
average of 8.8 yards per run.
Senior Bob Kahler was next in
line with an 8.25 average. v
