the latter battle bids fair to top

If the Seahawks beat Minnesota,
Bernie will tear down the victory

rif the Seahawks lose, the former
Minnesota tutor will face the cha

Take the eight ball out of the

AMES, la. With his sights set
for added offensive power, Coach
Rav Donncls gunned his Cyclone
gridmen through a workout of
both running and pasmg nere to
day.
Royal Lohry made several sub
stantial gains through the air
against the reserves. The running
attack was shared by botn Lonry
and Paul Darling.
Defense was also stressed in the
drill against the reserves, whose
lineup included End Bill Jahn, a
starter in last week's Denver
game. Jahn's first string position
was filled by George Harville,
junior, who starred in the opener.
NORMAN. Okla. Sooner air

Shifted to End
Post for Kansas
LAWRENCE, Kans., Sept. 30
It's back to fundamentals for the
University of Kansas football
squad this week as they practice
on the simpler rudiments of the
game which seemingly stood be
tween them and victory last week
against Marquette.
The Jayhawks gained more total
offensive yardage and more than
doubled the number of first downs
their opponents earned but still
were unable to stop Tom Stid
ham's Hilltoppers. With this in
mind as Friday night's Denver
game approaches, Coach Gwinn
Henry is stressing blocking and
tackling in an effort to bring
the Kansans into the victory col
umn.
To supplement the improved de
fense which he is hoping for,
Henry also added several new
scoring plays to Quarterback Har
lan Altman s signal-calling list.
The varsity backfield is still un
dergoing changes in an effort to
find the four backs with the most
scoring punch.
Evans Hurt.
Out of the Marquette game not
a single Jayhawker emerged seri
ously injured although Ray Evans
received a slight cut on his cheek
bone on the second play of the
game. The cut required three
stitches to close. Even with this
handicap Evans played the en
tire game and was the leading
total offensive gainer for botn
teams.
Individual leaders in the ground
gaining department was Jay
hawker Ed Linquist. The senior
fullback carried the ball only
three times but totaled 38 years
The last rushing play of the game
for Kansas was a beautiful 34
yard twisting, spring feat by the
Kansas City star.
Black ' Reports.
Another move which looms well
to bolster the Kansas line is the
insertion of towering Charlie
Black at the left end spot. The
195-pounds all-Big Six basketball
star reported for grid practice last
week and has shown up excep
tionally well.
Although not us-'d against Mar
quette because he was not yet
familiar with all of the plays.
Black has been inserted into the
regular line-up and looks like
fixture. His sky-scraping rrms
make a perfect target for passes
and his size makes him difficult
to move on defense.

Ex-Cornhuskcr
Quarter Writes
"We know this team is as good
or better than has represented Ne
braska in the past and with a
little fuel thrown on the fire of
spirit, their star will shine as
bright as any Cornhusker team
in the past." So wrote Henry
'Chief" Bauer, great Nebraska
quarterback of the 1935 Big Six
champions in sounding the view
point of the loyal Cornhuskera in
the armed services, thru a letter
to Walt Dobbins, Sports Editor of
the Evening State Journal.
Bauer also tossed some light
on the prophesy D. X. Bible made
in the letter quoted below:
Dear Walt: After reading of
the humiliating defeats suffered
by members of the Big Six, I re
call the prophesy D. X. Bible once
made. "One of these days the
bottom is going to fall out of Big
Six football because of the ap
parent lack of interest and rivalry
among the conference teams them
selves." That day apparently has
arrived if one bases his conclu
sions on last week's results.
We Nebraska boys in the armed
forces were naturally disappointed
in last week's game. We know
however, that one game doesn't
made a season to a "Fighting Ne
braska Team" and this loss is
just an incentive to make things
a hell of a lot tougher for our
otner opponets.
We know this team is as good
or better than has represented
Nebraska in the past and with a
little fuel thrown on the fire of
spirit will shine as bright as any
Cornhusker team in the past.
Give mv regards to all back
home and lets start those Corn
huskers rolling."

Cyclone Guard
To Play Wing
Next Saturday
AMES, Iowa, Sept. 30.-Only
one line change appears certain
for Iowa State when the Cyclones
face Nebraska Saturday but Head
Coach Ray Donels indicated the
center of the line may be made
over.
George Harville, Creston junior
who has tried fullback, tackle, and
end, seems to have found himself
and will start at left end against
the Cornhuskers. The 190 pounder
looked good against Denver and
has improved nightly to clinch a
starting post.
The possible shifts in the middle
of the line revolve around the
starting center job. If Roe Wil
liams, Des Moines senior, con
tinues to draw the starting assign
ment, then the junior due of Don
Scibold, Ackley, and Jim Beneke,
Austin, Minn., will open the game
Saturday. Should Burt Shoen, 200
pound Ames sophomore, start the
game, then Donels will name Denn
Thomas, 175 pounder from Des
Moines, and Louis Bosnyak, 210
pound Elgin, 111., star, as the
starting guards. Both the latter
aio sophomores.
Ash Returns.
The return of Bob Ash, Ames
letter winner, has provided the
tackle relief needed to permit the
shift of Bosnyak to guard, a job
he performs much better than his
tackle duties. LeVerne McGraw.
Sioux City, senior, and Bill Bar
ger, Leon senior, will continue as
the regular tackles with Ash and
Dick Caddock, junior from Wal
nut, acting as reserves.
In the backfield Donels said his
regular quartet of Capt. Royal
Lohry, Sioux City; George Gast,
Osage; Paul Darling, Estherville;
and Bud Schalk, Iowa Falls, would
be the starting unit.
During yesterday's drills the Cy
clones worked against the Nebras
ka offense for most of the practice
session. Passing again came in
for a prominent spot in the work
outs with most of the throwing
being done by Captain Lohry and
Howard Tippee, Des Moines jun
ior.
Kicking Polished.
All phases of the kicking game
were polished up in preparation
for the Huskers, Wednesday will
see Iowa State in still more work
against the Nebraska style of play,
so on Tuesday Donels devoted
plenty of time to the "foot" part
of the game.
With Captain Lohry doing the
holding, both Darling and Har'.ey
Rollinger, LeMar, sophomore,
worked on extra point plays by
placement. Ron Norman, sopho
more from Fairfield, did his con
version work with dropkicks. Roll
inger, in kickoff drills, repeatedly
had the ball over the goal line.
Norman continued to be the
longest kicker on the squad, aver
aging well over 60 yards on his
punts. Captain Lohry, although
unable to match the sparkling per
formance of the Fairfield young
ster, was punting consistently
above the 45-yard average.
