Sports activity was carried for
ward on two fronts this week end
when the Huskers took on the
boys from Kansas on the gridiron
and the long distance runners ran
against Oklahoma iwo-milors. , ,
These are two of the strongest
sports of which the Huskers can
boast. . . Last year, Nebraska
grabbed off the Big Six Cham
pion's bunting and the two-mile
team captured the same laurels.
. . . The track stars also went on
to capture both the indoor and out
door titles. . .
Two-mile track constitutes a
sport that ranks as high in
points as does football. . . That is
the team in the Big Six that wins
the run title scores as many points
toward the all-sports trophy as
does the team that wins the foot
ball top honors. . . A great deal
of attention could be turned to
this port that is rapidly coming
up in the midwestern universities.
The team is composed of four
runners and the team that places
more men win. the meet. . . That
is, to use an example, last year,
Nebraska's harriers placed first,
second, tenth and eleventh to
score 24 points. . . That is by add
ing up all of the places and the
team that has the. lowesj score
wins the meet. . . Oklahoma was
second last year scoring 35 points.
... All through the year it was
these two teams that were the big
guns and at present for this year,
it looks like the Sooners and
Huskers to battle it out. . .
A two-mile team needs more
than anything good balance more
than ever an individual star who
breaks the conference record be
cause unless a team can place
every man high up then they for
feit their chances. . .
Take for an illustration last
year. . . Bobby Ginn and Harold
Brooks placed first and second re
spectively and Dale Garrels along
with Bill Cook came in tenth and
t leventh. . . This was a well bal-

Hot Weather,
Torrid Runs
By Norris Anderson.
Memorial Stadium, Oct. 11.
Nebraska was hotter than the
weather here today-and it was
80 degrees In Memorial Stadium
as the Scarlet and Cream swept
aside pass-minded Kansas, 32-0,
while 29,000 partisan fans
whooped approval.
Sunlight that streamed down on
the Husker battle ground today
was no brighter than the perform
ance Of the drivine- Jones hnvs
Major Biff literally emptied the
Dencn aunnjr the frav and the subs
equalled the performance of the
nrsi-cnn grtdmen. Third strinc
performers mai.ned the Scarlet
lineup as the final gun barked,
one yard awav from a sixth Husk
er touchdown.
Bradley Shines.
Brilliant individual feats were
at premium rate durinr the dav.
Once again spradle-legged Dale
Bradley swiped the individual
spotlight. Bradley's off-f lank
jaunts and slippery open-field ga-
vanting enabled him to keeD Dar
with Ralph Miller, who completed
a 19 of 27 aerials for the Jav-
hawks, as the individual luminary
or the day.
Deceptive, as a two-bit steak.
Bradley constantly left would be
Jayhawk tacklers sninnine on
their noses. The "Miller-Bradley"
anced team but on the other hand
if Ginn and Brooks had come in
the same way hut Cook and Gar
rels had scored in the twentieth
and twenty-firjit spots the Husk
ers would have been lost as far
as the title was concerned. . .
This fall diminutive Bob Ginn is
back to run again. . . He wears
glasses when he runs and has a
build that would not command a
second look. . . But when he gets
out on the track he is a new man;
he has iron lungs and the will to
run. . . It will be mighty hard to
stop this runner from setting some
records this year. . . Harold
Brooks is gone from the team last
year and his spot will be hard to
fill. . .
Cook and Garrels are gone too,
so a trio of new stars will have
to be developed. . . As it looks
now their positions will be filled
by Arden Kersey, Harlan Culwell
and Paul Johrdc. . . They have a
tough task ahead. . .
Through the greater part of
football season, the team will
compete against other Big Six
schools in duel meets but the one
meet that counts is-Avhen all of
the teams line up together some
time in November. .. Let's see you
go, two-milers, and bring back an
other first place to the Husker
trophy case. . .It can be done.

pass combination became quite
popular as the Nebraska left half
intercepted four Miller-trade-marked
flips.
Mercury-hoofed Allen Zikmund
shoved the clutch into high and
left Jayhawkers far behind during
hia infrequent excursions with the
pigskin. One Zikmund dash car
ried 27 yards around left end for
the third Husker marker.
Long Looks Good.
Hefty Howard Debus certified
his press notices by regaining con
fidence to become one of the big
running guns of the Husker back
field. Two hundred pound How
ard ran like a pony quarter as he
sped through enemy forwards. Roy
Long, Debus' fourth-period re
placement celebrated his first ac
tion as a Husker with a bright per
formance. Long turned in one of
the running gems of the day in
the fourth quarter when he
boomed 35 yards through the Kan
sas line and laleralled to Bobby
Cooper.
Top Jayhawk feat of 'the day
can be spelled -with 12 letters
RALPH MILLER. Miller's passing
equalled Merry Magician Christ
man's flipping here three years
ago as 17 of 29 Miller flips found
their mark. The Jayhawk flippez',
cooler than dry ice. riddled the de
fense Nebraska had planned for
him. Miller tosses with a semi
unredhand motion that whips the
passes to receivers with deadly
accuracy.
Simmons Runs.
Diminutive Kenny Simmons, 165
pounds of fight, brought one of
the prime thrills of the day to the
crowd. Hampered by a series of
iniuries during; his four-year ca
reer r.s a Husker, Kenny received
his big chance during the second
period. One play after his inser
tion into the lineup, the Valentine
speedster zipped 41 yards around
left end. Everv man on the Husk
er bench stood and cheered the
popular "hard-luck guy."

before they knew it they had it
on the Jayhawks' own eight. Then
the first string came back in and
Bradley carried to a first down
on the seven when Marvin Athey
conceived a quarterback sneak
which was good for the needed
yards and a touchdown. Francis
converted. Eleven minutes were
gone In the second period.
No. 3: Without catching a
breath, the next series of touch
down plays shot out. Francis
kicked to Miller who downed it in
the end zone and KU took over
on their 20.
Altman lost nine yards on the
first down and the ball rested on
the 11. Pollom dropped back to
punt and got off a high kick to
Bradley who carried it 15 to the
Jays' 27 before he was stopped.
Then Al Zikmund, on a reverse
from Athey, left via the left end
road and outran all secondary de
fenders to go over standing up.
Francis again converted and 12
minutes were gone.
No. 4: This jewel was well hid
den until the fourth quarter start
themselves in possession of the
cd. The Husker seconds found
ball on the Nebraska 25 yard
stripe after Debus had brought
back a KU punt.
Wayne Blue carried the mail for
five, Metheny for seven. Debus

jaunt that had touchdown writ

out on the Kaw river boys' 36.
After a two yard plunge, Fred
Metheny stepped back and rifled
a pass to Debus who went all the
way to the nine before being held.
Debus and Blue got eight yarda
thru the center and then Blue
went over from the one for the

touch. Debus failed to convert.
No. 5: With the fourth touch

had very little time in which to
run the third stringers in. After
