Almost 100 fans braved the cold afternoon to watch the classy arm House team edge the Betas what was one of the best games of the year. With the win, Farm House gained 150 points in the Jack Best trophy standings. Back and Forth. It was a see-saw battle until the middle of the second quarter when the hard charging ag boys, having the best line in the entire league, tagged Bill Arnot, Beta back, behind the eoal line for a safety and two points. A beautiful 20 yard Gabelman to Norm Davis pass play gave the Farm House an 8 to 0 lead and although the try for point was missed, that was enough points to win the game. The plucky Betas came back in the last quarter to score on an Arnot to Leon Davis pass which culminated a long march down the field. The try for point was missed, and that was the end of the scoring for the day. Zorn, Bacon Hot. Standing out in a strong Farm House line were Howard Zorn, all star intramural team member last ear who with Harold Bacon hur ied Beta backs terrifically Charles Gardner and Warren Gableman were the big noise in the backfield. For the Betas Bill Arnot gave the Farm House something to worry about from his halfback post, and Leon Davis and Stan Huffman wore strong defensively and verv damrerous as pass re ceivers. rof.

Injuries Grip Husker Team: Zikmund Hurt Recuperating from injuries sus tained in the Gopher clash, the Huskers limped through a light session Monday afternoon in sweat clothes. Allen Zikmund is resting com fortably in St. Elizabeth's hospital with an injured kidney that he received during the first quarter of the fray. Zik will be out of the Pittsburg battle definitely and there is a possibility that he might not return to shape until the Okla homa game, depending upon the seriousness of the injury. Athey Hobbles. Marv Athey, Zik's substitute, was also on the Iodine List com ing- up with a sprained ankle wuich trainer Elwyn Dees hopes will be O.K. for the approaching contest. Fred Preston was also on the reclining roster with a bruised hip but he also will be on hand. As for the others Dees reports that there is a little more than the usual soreness and stiffness but that it should work out of their systems by Wednesday at least Gerry Kathol, end who broke his leg in the Kansas State game, is a lot more cheerful now since to clay marks his first attempt on crutches. Von Goetz Ready. Announcement that Herb Von- Goetzc would probably be ready to start against the Panthers helped drive away the gloom that sur rounded the dressing room due to Zikmund's injury and Clarence Herndon indicated that the Copher spree had not aggravated former injuries. The Minnesota-Husker tilt was screened for the benefit of the team and then the coaches sent the team out into the brisk air for setting up exercises and some pass defense. Shape-up Imminent. There were also rumors going around in the dressing room con cerning a shape-up of all three backfields that are performing for the Scarlet. Definite changes will probably be brought to light this afternoon. George Abel was named game captain for the Pitt game.

Pitt bounced back; Nebraska bounced back and this Saturday, after a month's absence from Me morial stadium, the rejuvenated Cornhuskers return ' from a sur nrise 0-9 scare handed Mighty Minnesota to face the recently-be- come-mighty Panthers. It was the Jones boys who bat tied the Minnesotans through a long Saturday afternoon at Min neapolis, and strangely enough, it was another Jones boy, Edgar "Special Delivery" Jones, who sparked five-times-defeated-in five-starts Pittsburgh to a 13-0 up set of Fordham's steamrolling Rams on the same Saturday! Pitt, soundly thumped by Pur due, Michigan, Minnesota, and Duke, came back in their fifth game to miss by one touchdown a tie with Ohio State 14-21.

The Huskers, after opening with wins over Iowa State and Kansas U dropped games to Indiana, Mis souri, K-State and Minnesota on successive weekends, flashing their first real defensive power against the Gophers and at the same time again surprising a million and a half Nebraskans by holding the Big Ten leaders to nine points. Both teams will go on the field at Memorial Stadium Saturday to prove that they have hit the come back trail the Huskers through their play at Minneapolis, and Pitt by virtue of having held Fordham scoreless for the first time in 19 carries and knocking the Rams from the ranks of the nation's un defeated, possibly from the ranks of bowl-bound teams. Both teams came back on the same Saturday. They meet this weekend, just seven days after their respective come-backs, and rifrht now, it looks like the game is just about a toss-up. Taken all together, Nebraska's record is still better than the Panthers, who yielded 133 points in their first five games. ATTEND LINCOLN'S LEADING THEATRES!

On a 22 yard pass from Bill Stuht to Bill Schroeder, the Sigma Nus drew first blood during the first half and then proceeded to add the extra point, giving them a 7-0 lend at the end of the half. Then during the second half the Fijis began clicking and aerials plus running soon had them on their opponents 15 yard line where the offensive passing stalled. From that point Ki Eisenhart on an end run cut back over his own tackle to score. The extra point was missed however. Trailing by one point the Phi Gams came to life midway in the fourth quarter when a deep kick placed the Sigma Nu team in the hole. On an attempt to run the ball out Stuht was captured behind his own goal line for an automatic safety which proved to be the win ning points. The play was to decide the con solation champs since both teams had been beaten once: the Phi Gams by the Betas and the Sigma Nus by the champion Farm House aggregation. Outstanding for the winners were Gene Schroeder and Dean Nutzman in the line and in the backfield the luminaries were Eisenhart, assisted by Joe Martin and Ned Nutzman. :yyy':!co.fy I)
