. . . Pitt, UN Game
By Norrii Anderson.
MEMORIAL STADIUM, Nov.
15. For 55 minutes here yester
day the underdog Nebraska Corn
huskers, functioning like the Scar
let and Cream of Rose Bowl fame,
had a victory over Pittsburgh
within easy grasp.
While a happy partisan crowd of
85,000 started filing from the
stands with their favorites . ahead,
7-0, Edgar "Special Delivery"
Jones, as sweet an all-round back
as has trod Memorial turf in a
decade, loosed disaster from
aground and transformed the
Husker victory celebration into a
wsikc
Call Him C. 0. D.
Legs pounding liks pistons,
Jones drove down the field late
In the fourth period, brushing thru
the Husker forwards for eight or
nine yards per crack. Halfback
Dutton, Jones' ally in the late Pitt
drive, climaxed the 63 yard ad
vance by stabbing over right
guard for the opening marker.
Pitt's gallant guard, "Butch" Fife,
limped out from the bench to make
the placement that tied the count,
7 to 7.
Four minutes and 45 seconds of
do-or-die football and the stage
was set for "Special Delivery" to
deliver. Then came the delivery
an intercepted pass, hurriedly
brought 75 yards up the west side
lines by Messenger Jones.
Bedlam that broke from the
Pitt bench at this stage had yet
to reach its height. For five sec
onds later Jones again grabbed
a Husker pass and scampered 60
yards to the Husker five before a
desperate Matheny tackle ended
the runback and game.
Bradley, Rubber Man.
Altho Jones captured the head
line focus as the game s star, sta
tistics prove that several perform
ers had better "all-game" records.
Nebraska's Dale Bradley, a literal
India rubber man, carried the
pigskin 18 times for 112 yards and
a 6.1 per carry average.

179 Pitt rushing yarda compared
to 65 yards for Jones. Roy Long,
promising Husker halfback, lugged
the pigskin ten times for 55 yards.
Wayne Sindt, Naponee sopho
more, made his first real chance as
a Husker back impressive by com
piling the highest average of the
day seven yards per try in seven
efforts.
Husker Band Colorful.
Color abounded durine the half-
time session when the Comhusker
band entertained with one of the
tnn nromras "limDsed here in
years. Featuring patriotism as
the central meme, me Dana lormeu
a U. S. map, cannon, anchor and
Cornhusker students in the card
section gave their climax per
formance. A Pitt Panther, Old
Glory and "Pitt emerged in yel
low and blue from the card sec
tion.

ter held and took the ball on
downs.
Thus, until the fourth quarter
was a little more than half over,
Pitt was on the spot. At this
point in the srtuggle, the score
stood, Nebraska 7, Pittsburgh 0.
Then Things Began to Happen.
Forced to punt on the fourth
down, Roy Long, a sophomore who
turned in a whale" of a game, de
posited the ball on the Pitt 38,
where it was downed. This is when
Jones really stepped in to show
his stuff, for, in two plays after
an incomplete pass, he had moved
the ball to the Nebraska 48 yard
stripe.
From here he took the ball on a
weak side reverse for nine and
then for eight more yards on the
next play. Two first downs he
had chalked up by himself. He
was showing drive the equal of
which hafe not been seen on the
Husker field for quite some time.
Pitt Recovers Fumble.
On the next play, with the ball
on the 31, he started out behind
perfect blocking around his own
left side. By sheer power he cat
apulted himself up to the Husker
seven, where he fumbled. The
Panther drive appeared to have
ended as a wave of players cov
ered the loose ball. But it had not
come to the end so earnestly hoped
for by UN's screaming fans as
Steve Sinclair, Panther senior
center, emerged triumphant with
the ball tucked in his bosom.
The rest of the distance was
not covered so easily. Frank Sak
sa got one yard of the seven, Jones
got two and then three to put the
ball on the doorstep. Little Bill
Dutton stepped across for the ty
ing touchdown and Ralph Fife was
hurried in to kick the extra point
and the game was tied.
Huskers Receive.
The Huskers chose to receive
with two minutes remaining and
Pitt kicked. After an exchange
of downs Nebraska came up with
the ball and a first down on the
Nebraska 48.
Dale Bradley, easily Jones'
equal with the same blocking,
drove for nine and then he faded
back to pass. He let loose and the
ball sailed deep down to the Pitt
25. Eager Nebraska hands reached
up for it but it was Edgar's hands
that got there first.
Showing a great change of pace
in his running, from slow to fast
to faster, "Special Delivery" rode
roughshod down the sideline. His
progress was marred by not one
Husker as he sailed into the end
zone standing up for a 75 yard run
and the winning touchdown. Again
Ralph Fife hobbled in to do up the
game in brown by adding the extra
point that added insult to injury.
UN Hits Airlanes.
Apparently willing to hit the
airlanes again in a vain attempt,
Coach Biff Jones sent in Howard
Debus, distance passing ace, with
only five seconds remaining in the
classic. Debus filtered back and
let loose and again the same eager
hands were waiting, but Jones
again stepped in and then stepped
down the opposite sidelines.
If the patrons had been stunned
when Jones made his other run,
they were bug-eyed at this dis
play, for the Pitt demon appeared
to have another touchdown in his
grasp when Fred Metheny came
up from behind and knocked him
out of bounds on the Husker four
yard line.
Fans Gasping.
The final gun sounded and the
game was over. It had been gruel
ling thruout, but the events that
occurred in the last 15 seconds
left everyone gasping.
"Special Delivery" was lifted to
the shoulders of his admiring
teammates. Someone tossed the
game ball into his hands, a grin
crossed his face. Charley Bowser,
Pitt's coach, came up to him and
held out his hand; finally Eddie
could contain himself no longer
and he hopped down and ran for
the dressing room.
His broad back penetrating the
maze of crowd that thronged the
door, was the last glimpse that ad
miring fans got of him. It will be
the last time the Huskers will see
him and many were crying "Thank
goodness."
Fife, Dillon, Star.
He was a great back and he
made his own breaks. He deserved
all the credit heaped upon him.
In the line, Ralph Fife, until forced
out by injury, was doing a big
job as was Bill Dillon, at the other
guard.
Not completely overshadowed in
the backfield by Jones and de
serving of credit in the win was
Bill Dutton, who turned in 90
yards in rushing tactics.
. For Nebraska, Marv Thompson
and Fred Preston, at the ends,
were going great guns in break
ing up the interference and mak
ing tackles behind the line. (Jlar
ence Herndon and George Abel
also turned in a stellar game.
In the backfield, along with
Dale Bradley, who functioned al
most perfectly, Wayne Sindt and
Roy Long, a couple of sophs, gave
outstanding performances. Sindt
in his relief of Athey, surprised
everyone, and Long, playing while
Bradley was out, showed a great
deal of promise.
Yes, we're unhappy, but, oh,
well, it's Iowa next week.
