Sunday, December 7, 1941 DAILY NEBRASKAN 3 Game by Game Reviews of . . . Tilts Bring Back Highlights Of Season Full of Reverses BY BOB MILLER. "Moleskins, footballs and pads have all been packed away in moth balls, signifying the end of the 62nd year of Husker gridiron wars. As a sort of resume of this sea son, one that has fallen below the usual mark in the number of wins recalling the higrf points this article is being written. It is writ ten not from a critical standpoint but rather from a liberal one. It's Over. Yes, the grid season is over. The results? In wins and losses the re Bult is a little below par,' but wherever there is spirit of the type exhibited by this squad of Corn huskers, there can never be a word of complaint. Consider the season before this season's opener at the Ames insti- ution. Major Jones had lost 13 seniors from his Rose Bowl aggre gation and all were topflight per formers. In addition, defense jobs, the army and sundry reasons all conspired to rob him of many bright prospects. Sophs Were Used. Sophomores were being used at nearly every position and several even fought their way up to a first team berth. Their inexperience was fully compensated for by their Sooners Turn To Basketball Coach Drake's Team Is Hit by Losses to Army NORMAN, Okla. Gaining more rebound power but sacrificing ex perience and shooting skill, Coach Bruce Drake is busily grooming ihe Oklahoma basketball squad for l the 1941-42 season. . Drake's Sooners were one of the favorites for the Big Six flag until Uncle Sam suddenly stepped Jn this summer to draft Allie Paine, junior field general and defensive ace, and Garnett Corbin, uenior forward who broke up the fjnal Kansas game with eight Held goals, for service at Fort Bill. Drake Has Losses. Meanwhile Drake has lost from f graduation Hugh Ford, rangy all T2ig Six center, and also Bill Rich ards and Matt Zoller. These osses just about stripped his first team. Paul Heap, 6-foot 4-inch junior guard, and A. D. "Ug" Roberts, junior forward, are the only re turning lettermen whd played much last season, altho Drake hopes to develop support for Ihem among such last year's substi tutes as Shelby Green, Warren Lehman, Tom Rousey, Mitch Sim ons, Jim Marteney, Bill Bentley and Louis Bailey. Sophomores Fair. The sophomore group is fair find includes Gerald Tucker, 6-foot 3 inch husky from Winfleld, Kans., Bob McCurdy, Purcell; Richard Reich, Oklahoma City Central; Jack Gray, Norman; Danny Bur rcll, Ada; Don Jones, Bartlesville; Bus West, Ponca City; Fred Mc Kenzie, Kansas City, Mo. and Rich ard Vaughn, Ardmore. "Lack of experience was respon sible for our losing three ilose Big Six games last season," Drake .Jeclarcs. Oklahoma finished with ?'5ive losses and was the only team in the league to lick Dr. F. C. "Phoe" Allen's Kansas co-chamns twice. Sooner Schedule. Besides the ten Big Six games, and two clashes in March against the Oklahoma Aggies, the Sooners open their season against Southern Methodist at Norman Dec. 13, then go east to play St. James Dec. 20, in Madison Square Garden, George Washington Dec. 22 at Washington D. C; Scran ton university at Scranton, Pa. Dec. 23 and Bradley Tech at Peoria, 111. Dec. 29. Drake is looking for another op ponent Dec. 27, while en route.

That's the way that it stood on the eve of the first game inexperience, injury, depleted ranks were a menace. The 1941 squad's strength was a question mark. IOWA STATE. Against Iowa State, the Huskers showed weakness in several de partments but they managed to pull thru with a 14-0 win in a rain storm. The big surprise io us was the showing of Dale Bradley, a seemingly unstoppable toter from Lincoln. Bradley Stars. Mediocre before but this season Bradley definitely hit a stride that brought him all-conference honors. Al tiikmund with a broken leg under him as a souvenir of the Pasadena tilt appeared to have slowed down on his reverses but his increased strength on defense made up the difference. KANSAS UNIVERSITY. The Jayhawks stood next in line and the tilt proved one thing. The Huskers had potentialities three deep and they capitalized on them against the "pore little Jays." The final score was a 32-0 disaster for the guests. Thirds Proved Things. In this game the third stringers got a chance to show what they could do with the ball. Roy Long, Howard Debus, Bob Cooper, Ran dall Salisbury and Wayne Sindt proved that they could be counted on as they struck on land and in the air. INDIANA U. Col. Bo McMillin imported Bill Hillenbrand and ten others to play this game with all respect to the ten others. This guy Hillen brand showed class against the Huskers as he counted in the three Hoosier touchs piling up a 21-13 win. After the first two wins had come so easily.Mt was hard to be lieve that Nebraska could lose to a team that had already lost three games. Hillenbrand Hot. An Interesting fact from the Bloomington school indicates that Hillenbrand had his hand in every touchdown that the Hoosiers had scored this season with but one Schultz Shows Colored Movies At Annual Party At the annual museum picture party Saturday night in gallery B of Morrill hall, Dr. C. B. Schultz, associate professor of geology and director of the museum, showed his latest colored movies of field expeditions and fossil collecting in Nebraska, Arkansas and Wyom ing. The museum staff, the museum NYA and WPA assistants and their guests, members of this summer's Museum field parties, and the geology staff and their guests were present. Also shown at the party was a variety of snap shots and colored slides made by the members of the expeditions. Following the program refresh ments were served. Dr. and Mrs. Schultz acted as hosts. Bowling Parly Draws Over 200 Over 200 women had attended the bowling party sponsored by the WAA at the Lincoln Bowling Al lies by 2 p. m. yesterday. After a p. m. guests had to bo turned away because they could not be accommodated. The WAA was pleased by the large number attending the party and it is hoped that another such party may be planned in the fu ture. This group showed that there are large numbers interested in the sport. It was an excellent op portunity practice for the coming intramural tournaments.

Kenny Simmons got Into this game and provided the opponents some bad moments. The ndiana linemen were unanimous in picking Bradley as the hardest Husker to stop. MISSOURI Against the eventual Big Six champs, the Huskers showed that they could play the Tigers and not have to concede them anything. The final score rested at 0-6 and several official bobbles handi capped the Huskers in their at tempt to overhaul the leaders. The play was even with neither team getting anything that resem bled a break. In the line George Abel played a whale of a game while the Tigerman Steuber was going great guns. Darold Jenkins, All-American center, was not as impressive against Nebraska as in his other conquests this season. (A review of the last five Husk er games wifl be run in Tuesday's Nebraskan.) Jack Gardner Picks Kansas V as Champs ... In Cage Sport MANHATTAN, Kas., Dec. 6. Kansas university, co-champion a year ago, is labelled "the out standing favorite" to cop the 1941-42 Big Six conference bas ketball championship by Jack Gardner, Kansas State college cage coach. "K. U. has seven squadmen, In cluding five lettermen, from last year plus what they regard as the greatest sophomore crop In their history," Gardner said. "With mar, array of talent, l aon t tee how K. U. can miss." Nebraska Fourth. Gardner picks Oklahoma, Iowa State, Nebraska and Missouri In that order after Kansas univer sity. "Oklahoma's losses are neglig' ible," the K-State mentor x plained. "Iowa State has plenty uf height and one of the best or- wards in the conference, in Bud olphson. Missouri had no gradua tion losses and should be stronger than last season." K State? As for Kansas State, Gardner said it is too early to tell. He pointed out that a lot depends upon the development of inexperienced sophomores, 11 of whom are on the varsity squad of 17. Scabbard, Blade Add Seven New Members at Rites Seven new members were initi ated into Scabbard and Blade honorary military fraternity, at the Cornhusker hotel Friday night preceding the military ball.

At their meeting Friday, the Big Six faculty delegates and athletic directors, many important mat ters were definitely decided put ting an end to considerable specu lation. . . . Biggest single event that occurred was the announcement by Missouri Coach, Don Faurot, that he had signed with the Tiger in stitution for another year: . . . The salary was set at flO.OOO for the year. A Good Increase. This amount meant a raise of $2,500 over his previous salary and was the same increase over the salary that was being offered by Illinois officials.. . .Faurot was on the list of prospects to take over the Illinois job vacated by Robert Zuppke....ln the last three years, he has turned in two Bowl teams with his latest addition slated to play in the Sugar Bowl of Janu ary 1.
