. . . Vikc Plunges to Start New Era for Huskers . .
DAILY NEBRASKAN
Huskers,
Oklahoma
To Meet
(Continued from page 1.)
the Oklahomans have been exhib
iting. In the eight games that
they have participated in, the
Sooners have pushed across 30
touchdowns and have had but few
pushed over on- them.
That "A" Formation.
. Operating off a new type of
formation which the Biffer says
has not been used by any college
team in his memory, the Sooners
specialize in quick opening plays
with several backs carrying fakes
well into the secondary. They do
not have a passing attack that is
potent on long aerial plays but
that does use button-hook passes
and short flips over the middle of
the line to good advantage.
The Oklahomans, further, have
such a good defense that not one
team in the conference with the
exception of Missouri, has been
able to punch a touchdown across
their goal line. But Missouri
played havoc with that record as
they put 28 points on ice and al
lowed their opponents not one.
Loss to Texas U.
They have lost one other en
gagement also and that was to
the powerful Texas U team in the
season's opener. This one was lost
by the tremendous score of 40-7.
This is the type of team that the
Huskers will meet on Saturday.
One day they can be hot as lit
tle pistols and on the next they
can't hold off the invading hordes
with as much effect as the dum
mies used in practice can do, Ok
lahoma is gunning for this win,
tho, with the prospect of an undis
puted second place in the confer
ence to help them in their reserve.
Their Win List.
Oklahoma has wins over Okla
homa Aggies, 19-0; Kansas State,
16-0; Santa Clara, 16-6; Kansas
U, 38-0; Iowa State, 55-0; and
Marquette. 61-14.
But while all of this is going on
down in Norman, the Nebraska
gridders are hepped up in antici
pation, for this game will mean
more to thorn than it possibly can
to the Oklahomans. They have
been victory-starved all season due
to bad breaks in most cases and.
after tasting victory from Iowa U,
they are eager for more of the
same.
Zipping Thru Practices.
They are going thru practice
sessions with a zip and whenever
the schedule calls for scrimmage
with the scouts on the Oklahoma
formations the team as a whole is
showing the necessary fire that
bodes ill for the southern team.
Pasted on the bulletin board in
the dressing room is a little clip
ping from a Norman paper. It
seems that the paper really got
enthused about the fact that the
Huskers have been fighting a los
ing battle all seasn. Their final
statement carried the prediction
that the final score of the contest
would be "Oklahoma 40, Nebras
ka 0."
Look What Minnesota Did.
We would bet ur shirt against
a score like that since the groat
Minnesota team turned in the
worst score for the Huskers. It
was 9-0.
All of the gridders are in fair
shape with Marvin Thompson
limping with an ankle Injury and
several of the other cripples not
feeling up to par as yet. All hands
will be ready for the invasion, was
the opinion of Trainer KIwyn Dees.
