We Predict That Huskers
Will Win Saturday by 49-0
In an analysis of si:t different
systems of prediction, the Daily
Nebraskan sports staff discovered
that, on a basis of winners' points
compared with losers' points, Ne
braska will be 49 points better
than Kansas State when the two
teams clash at Manhattan next
Saturday afternoon.
The six systems considered
were:
1 ) the points-gained-per-game
record of the Wildcats.
2) average of winners' point to
tal over losers' point total in the,
25 games played in the series to
date.
3) comparative scores of games
played this season.
4) the "mumbo-jumbo" system,
wherein numbers are drawn from
a hat.
5) pre -season prediction in
Street and Smith's Pictorial Foot
ball Yearbook.
6) the outcome as hoped-for by
a Nebraska University freshman.
Gaining on Opponents.
If the Wildcats from Manhattan
can continue the points-gained-per-game
record they have made
to date this season the score at
the end of the game will read
9-0 in favor of the Kansans.
In three games, Kansas State
has been defeated 51-3 (North
western), 35-0 (Missouri), and 16
0, (Oklahoma), with the second
and third games' opponents chalk
ing up a 13 and 19 point marginal
improvement, respectively. On
this basis the marginal improve
ment of the. fourth game over the
third game should be 25 points,
which means K-State will win 9-0.
25 Gamt Average.
If the average number of points
the two teams have scored in their
25 meetings is considered, Ne
braska will be seven points better
than the Wildcats, since the Ne
braskans have bettered the Kan
sans by 389 points since 1911,
when the series began.
If comparative scores of con
ference games played this year
are the basis for predicting the
outcome, Nebraska will defeat the
boys from Manhattan 29-0. While
Missouri was only six points bet
ter than the Huskers, the Tigers
romped over Adams' team to the
tune of 35-0, a difference of 29
points.
That Odd System.
Using the "mumbo-jumbo" sys
tem, the score "50-0" was drawn
from a hat; on the next drawing
(to select the team winning by
that margin) "Kansas State" was
the name appearing on the slip
of paper which means that the
Jones boys are 50 points to the
bad.
However, Nebraska will move
past Kansas State by a 20-0 score
according to the pre-season pre
diction appearing in Street and
Smith's Pictorial Football Year
book. Frosh Optimistic.
An arts and science freshman
from McOool Junction, Neb., stat
ed that he hoped "the score will
be about 797-0 in favor of Ne
braska," when questioned by a
Nebraskan staff member.
After debating at great length
on the relative merits of the vari
ous systems, the general consen
sus of opinion of members of the
sports staff was this: Nebraska
will win, safely and it won't be
by "mumbo-jumbo."

Flash They proved it!
Since we last spoke our thoughts
via this column concerning the of
ficial's ruling Saturday, there has
been an opportunity to see what
actually happened against the
Tigers... Reports on the picture
are exactly opposite as could have
been predicted as soon as the play
had occurred. . .The Tigers are
holding to one line of thought and
the Huskers to another.
Without a doubt, according
to the pictures, Harry Ice was
guilty of interfering with Kenny
Simmons on the play in question
and the fiefd judge as the pic
tures proved was not in position
to see the play clearly ... .The
other play with Gerry Kathol in
the main role showed positively
that Kathol caught the ball,
fumbled it but scooped it back
into his arms two feet above the
ground... The Tigers agree dif
ferently, however.
The official, ruling on this play
stated afterward that he was in
a perfect vantage point and that
as he saw it Kauioi naa scoopea
up the ball on the rebound For
that rea-son he called the pass in
complete. Let it drop at that
Now that we do know that
there was a good chance for the
Huskers to have scored with a
first down on the five yard line,
there is nothing to do but relax
since the game is over... In the
future our luck will change and
with the extra lift that this knowl
edge gives us, players and fans
alike can turn undivided atten
tion to Kansas State which will
probably be a tough one... With
this last dissertation we officially
drop the "Missouri incident" along
with Cornell's fifth down!
The subject of Kansas State
brings up several matters. . .The
K Staters have had a poor foot
ball season so far with four
games under their belts.... In
the first game of the season
Hobbs Adams' teams were
forced to tie Fort Hays State,
0-0, then followed successive
defeats to Northwestern, 51-3,
Missouri, 35-0 and Oklahoma,
16-0... This puts plenty of ex
perience on where it's needed

and the sophomore studded team
has been rounding out greatly
since the first tilt of the sea
son. When the Huskers play Satur
day before the homecoming
crowd, they will also be playing
before former greats of the Man
hattan school that felt the thrill
of humbling the Huskers....
Among these are Henry Cronkite
and Elden Auker....The former
was an All-American end from
the school and Auker is a pro
fessional league pitcher now that
landed on the all conference team
in 1931 when the humbling took
place .... For the three years end
ing in that season the two teams
put on a show that has never been

Activity is increasing in the Big
Six grid camps in getting ready
for Saturday that will see four
conference teams pitted among
themselves and the other two
teams taking on non-conference
foes.
Touring the Big Six strong
holds:
Nebraska: Huskers after seeing
that there were mistakes that cost
them the game against Missouri,
perhaps, are planning to rebound
in a loud tone against Kansas
State Saturday. Last year the
Huskers won by a 20-0 score.
Shakeups are on top after in
juries and poor showings opened
spots for advancement. Nebraska
has to win all of the rest of the
games in the conference and Mis
souri has to lose one to put both
schools in a tie for the title.
Kansas State: The Wildcats are
plotting to break into the win col
umn over the Huskers since in
four starts they have not won.
Playing before a Homecoming
crowd and before the stars of ten
years ago that beat Nebraska,
Kansas State's team might find
the two impetus enough to go out
and win.
The home team has lost but one
game in the Big Six and that to
Oklahoma. They did not play last
Saturday, getting ready for the
approaching game.
Oklahoma: The Sooners gunning
for the conference title are in high
gear following their upset 16-6 de
feat of Santa Clara, They have
been defeated once this season by
a lop-sided score tossed their way
by Rose Bowl bound Texas. Okla
homa is using a new offense that
appears to be paying dividends
and will be heavily favored against
Kansas U.
Kansas U.: After winning their
first conference game in two sea
sons, the Jayhawkers have devel
oped a great deal of confidence in
their driving power. By defeating
Iowa, 13-0, Kansas showed that
they more than likely would be at
the top of the second division.
Missouri: The Tigers look like
they are on the way to another
loop title with three wins to their
credit. They would have to lose
one game to be forced into a tie
with Nebraska, if the Huskers
can cop their remaining struggles.
This week the Tigers head
toward Michigan State where they
will be slight favorites to con
tinue their win streak.
Iowa State: The Cyclones are
resting at the bottom of the con
ference ladder with little hope of
climbing more than possibly one
rung. More than likely Iowa will
be able to dump Kansas State into
the basement and remove them
selves from the unpleasant posi
tion. They will 1 trying to gain some
prestige when they journey to
South Dakota in a non-conference
tilt.
