DAILY NEBRASKAN

By Bob Millet j
Departing somewhat from the
kj-hiie of football, namely the
single and double wing back and
shert punt formations, Coach Biff
Jones pulled a cat eut of the bag
Saturday when on the first play
from scrimmage the Huskers ran
a play off the T foramtion.. .
Ever lince the fall season has
started considerable speculation
bat been done on whether or not
Nebraska would switch to a
mere wide-open offensive at
tack. ...At last confirmation has
kn given but we're stilf in the
dark about the amount of its
use this season. . .
When the Huskers climbed off
the train at Ames Friday after
noon and went to the field to have
a secret practice session things
went bad for the squad ... A wait
f 20 minutes for transportation
plus rain added up to an uncom
fortable afternoon . . .
Then to top things off when the
Biffer put the gridders through
..what he had requested to be a se
cret session, the entire athletic de
partment, it seemed, took up posts
at the windows of the Cyclone
field house to see what was going
en. . . .
.
All of this combined to make
things a little raw by the time
' the stage was all set Saturday
afternoon .... Even the Des
Moines paper came out on the
morning of the game with the
headline, "Sh-h! Nebraska May
Use T..
They also were courteous
enough to explain how the T would
work and also who would be in
motion... Oh they were very help
ful about the whole thing...
Short notes. . .After Dale ' Brad
ley had trotted across for the two
winning touchdowns, a telegram
came into the press box via West
ern Union that had certain in
spirational qualities... There's
something about a football player.
Feel sorry for Mickey Owen,
Brooklyn catcher. ..If he had held
en to the ball on the third strike
in the Yanks' half of the ninth and
two men out, he might have had
a chance for the 5,000 purse for
himself instead of $4,000. . .That's

The big laugh came to the sports
writers who have been covering
every practice session this fall and
had a pretty good idea of what
was going to transpire when both
of the Husker touches came as the

Rumblings have been heard emanating from the Kansas U. Jay
hawk that are directed along one chain of thought. That Is, Kansas is
suffering from a lack of experienced starters.
On the starting team Saturday against Washington University of
St. Louis, there were seven lettermen and four sophomores. Notwith
