Nebraska is a football state, first, last and always . . . Fans live
between seasons in their talk of the Huskers, either of the past sea
son's showing or of the chances for the next season ... It is due to
this unequalled interest in the gridiron .port by Husker fans that has
put football whei-e it is today in the corr.husking state.
When the team wins fans all over the state are jubilant and
when there comes a loss like the Indiana debacle last Saturday,
the followers are downcast . . . Then comes the Sunday and Mon
day quarlerbacking on a large scale . . . Individuals are blamed
and their performances are ridiculed.
In several instances this criticism wasn't justified . . . Every
player has off-days now and then and wiien these happen to fall on
the off-day of another player, the result is sometimes a loss . . .
There were several cases like that against the Hoosiers and as a
consequence the players in question have been the subject of a well
organized attack.
The game Was lost to a great team Saturday . . . The Hoosiers
finally hit the stride that they were supposed to show but it took
them three losses to get in gear and then the sophomores began
gaining confidence in their playing ability . . . Their running was

This, added to the number of luminaries for Nebraska who were
injured before or eaily in the fray, and the fact that several of the
usual big; names on the team were hit simultaneously by an off-day,
combined to defeat the Huskers . . . But to get to the cote, it was
not because any member of the team was consciously lying down on
the job that the loss can be attributed, but it was merely that the
l-'ates were not with the Huskers.
Keep an eye on this Rilly Hillenbrand who hits the headlines
every week with the Hoosiers, for this 190 pound sophomore will eas
ily be an All-American next year if Indiana can field a team that
will be convincing nationally . . . Hillenbrand not only stars at pass
ing, running and punting, but also hits the high marks in the class
room ... He has played in all four of the Hoosier games so far this
year with a bone broken in his foot.
He broke the bone during pfe-season drills and Bo McMillin was
cast down, for it was r round Billy that he was building his entire
attack ... Bo asked the team physician if he could play and the
answer was, "He can play if he has enough 'guts' in him." ... So
Billy has been playing on just plain "guts" . . . His performance
against the Huskers puts him on our book as the outstanding indi
vidual performer that we have seen this year.
Husks: Clarence Hem don was limping around yesterday morn
ing with a sad look on his face ... It was the first game that he
has missed suiting-up for in nearly three years ... He reports that
his leg is feeling better and his shoulder a whole lot better but he
still has to favor the leg a great deal . . . Well, time will tell how
bad it is.

and the majority of the plays run j
were line bucks for both teams. j
The famed Missouri T did not j
prove to be a source of worry un- ,
til the closing moments of the i
third quarter when the Tigers got
hold of the ball and started the
drive that culminated in the win- '
ning touchdown.
Huskers Lose Possession.
The Huskers scrimmaged on the
Missouri 48 and after Dale Brad
ley hit the line for three he j
dropped back and tossed -a pass
that was fai too short for Marvin
Thompson to get near but fell into
the hands of Red Wade, outstand
ing Mizzou cMiarterbnck who
brought the ball up to his own
33 and the march was ready to begin.
Wade took the ball on a quick
pening play thru the center for
2 vards and a first down. Two
plays later Hairy Ice slipped the
ball to Bob Steuber on a wide end
reverse that was good for 12 more
yards down to Nebraska's 42. Ice
went thru the entire Husker line
for 0 and after an incomplete pass
Steuber made it a first down on
the 31.
Tigers Growling.
The Tigers were getting fero
cious at this point and nothing
Idjould stop thenj. Ice made three at
right end and as the Huskers were
' picking themselves up the Tigers
without huddle or signals sprang
into a play with Bob Steuber lug
ging which ate up 12 more yards

and was good for a first down on
the Husker 16.
Ice failed to gain at guard and
then on the next play he lateralled
to Carter, Km pound half, and the
diminutive back strolled down to
the Husker 5 for an 11 yard gain.
Recce Tallies.
From this point Ice carried it
4'2 yards on a fake reverse and
was downed within a foot of the
goal as the quarter ended. After a
trip down to the opposite end of
the field, Recce hurdled the mid
dle for the score. Bert Eckern
1 missed the extra point.
I That was the only time that
'either team managed to penetrate
the opponent's 10 yard line. There
were no runs of 40 or 50 yard pro- j
i portions; no goal line stands; no i
tricky reverses -nothing that fans
j crowd foofoaiT stadia Saturday up
on Saturday to witness.
Team Play Even.
I The teams wore evenly matched,
too evenly to provide excitement
I along with the fact that the field
j was heavy and definitely, not con-
; ducive to good broken field run
ning to make the engagement en
tertaining. I Early in the first quarter Ne-
braska drove down deep into the
Tigers' territory but were stopped
'on the 11 yard line and there Mis
i soul i, took over. From that tmae
on botli teams fought on ejen
S terms with neither holding an liil-
vantage.
Huskers Come Close.
In the second half another
Husker drive carried down to the
14 yard line where the Tigers' de
fense tightened up to hold for
downs and from that point on Ne
braska didn't get a sniff of the
goal line.
In a losing battle, there were
few stars but Vike Francis re
versing all previous r.howings
turned in a four star perform
ance. He was hitting harder and
tackling viciously thruout even tho

in the Texas Open.
he was shaken up early in the sec
ond half.
Dale Bradley Also.
Another backfield performer
that shared in the spotlight was
Dale Bradley who was running
with all the force of a 200 pound
er. In the line George Abel was
again the standout with his speed
coming into good stead. Fred
Meier and Howard Kelly also
turned in creditable performances.
For the Tigers in the backfield
it was Harry Ice and Bob Steuber
grabbing the laurels with Red
Wade and Don Reece taking sec
ondary honors. In the line it was
Captain Jenkins that was best aid
ed by ( Jefferics, Wallach and
