"There'll Be Some Changes

kerland yesterday as Mentor Glen
Presncll posted the first squad ros
ter since the Minnesota battle.
Game Captain Jerry Kathol will
supplant Marv Thompson at one
end post. Another change pro
moted Joe Byler to the first right
tackle berth over Bob McNutt.
Charlie Duda moved ahead of
Herb von Goetz at the left guard
post.
Despite previous indications,
Gene Stranathan remained in
front of Gene Wilkins, a defensive
star against Minnesota, at the
right guard position. With the
frosh setting up offensive forma
tions, the varsity took its first
peek at Sooner plays.
Huskers Boast
Big Advantage
Over Sooners
By Henry Fishbach.
Oklahoma's renovated Sooners,
refreshed with a slashing triumph
over Kansas State, revive a 21
year old gridiron feud Saturday
afternoon when they entertain the
Cornhuskcrs in Norman.
Painted as the dark horse can
didate for Big Six honors, Snorter
Luster's turf warriors erased much
of the predominant early season
gloo maround Norman last Satur
day and will be attempting to fight
their way out of the mirror-maze
of defeats suffered at the hands
of the Huskers.
Nebraska will stampede out onto
the Sooner sod Saturday touting a
distinct edge in the series, only
three times in 21 tilts have the
Sooners emerged victorious over
the Nebraskans. The game slate
reveals 15 wins for the Huskers,
three for the Sooners with three
contests deadlocked. Blossoming
into one of the most formidable
clubs in the conference in late
years, the Sooners have a Big Six
record of 39 won, 25 lost and 6
tied.
Sooner Tough.
In early relations including nine
contests, Nebraska swept all but
one game, most of them by con
vincing margins but in late years
the Sooners have put up grueling
competition, grabbing victories in
1930 and 1938.
Oklahoma ignited the present
series after a Bix year lapse in
1930 with Guy Warren and Mills
pacing them to a 20 to 6 win.
Since that gray afternoon in
1930 the Huskers have fallen be
fore the Sooners but once. Ne

football men found extra virtues
in victory when Mike Michalske,
Cyclone coach, canceled Monday
practice.
"Every man played a fine game
against Drake," Michalske said in
explaining the one day vacation,
"and I think they have a rest
coming. We've got a hard game
coming up this week and we'll
need to be in top physical shape."
In place of the practice session
the squad assembled last night for
a chalk talk. Michalske had
nothing but praise for the spirited
and aggressive showing of the
Cyclones in the one-sided 29 to 6
victory. Michalske discussed the
coming game with the University
of Missouri .at Columbus.
Mizzou Favored.
"We know Missouri is favored
to win the ball game," Michalske
told the players. "We know they
have weight, speed, and depth. We
know all those things about Mis
souri. We also know Missouri is
not made up of supermen; they
make mistakes, they fumble, they
miss assignments, just like any
other bunch of college men.

Big Six outconference play may he strictly null and void in
the won-lost department thus far, but there's several perform
ers of national repute within realm of the league.

has hit receivers over 50 times with 100 tosses

victory. Iowa State possessed two individual demons Paul
Darling and Royal Lohry behind a weak line.
A dusky shadow named McKinnis, backed by Billy Hillen
brand, gave Indiana its decision over the lVfnn
Minnesota had Dick Luckemeyer, a hippcr-dipper halfback, to
spou iiusKer nopes with a 4U-yard pay dash. Now we have
Evans (Lawrence. Oct. 3D and Steuber (horo W 7 n.
pared to pass and scamper the Scarlet and Cream dizzy.
Illustrative of the weak Husker offensive are the comnlete
figures of the first four games.
Nebraska's total offense during the three tilts with Big
Ten clubs could advance only 282 net yards in 152 plays. Op
posite their sole taste of Big Six competition, Iowa State, the
Huskers clicked off 176 yards on 57 running plays and passed
for 130 additional yards.
Total passing record is a bright spot on the ledger. Ne
braska tossers, led by Dale Bradley, have dropped 25 of 57 ef
forts into receivers' mitts. Total Husker offensive advance
ment in the four games measures 588 yards in 225 attempts.
Husker scout "Lew" Lewendowski returned from the
Kansas-Oklahoma game with words of praise for the rugged
Sooner line.
Lew cocked his baseball hat, then commented: "The best
Oklahoma back is Huel Hamm. Sooners have a rugged line, es
pecially good are the two ends Lamb and Tyree."

"Snorte r" Luster's Oklahoma
Sooners, in fine and physical fet

hands on deck Tuesday.
Praiseful of the superb punting
of Nebraska's halfback Dale Brad
ley and the strength of the Husk
er's fast improving reserves, Hugh
McDermott, Sooner scout returned
Sunday afternoon.
Withstanding the Kansas game
without a single serious injury the
Sooners will be at full strength
against the Cornhuskers Saturday
afternoon. Bill Mattox, senior
wingback was limping with a leg
injury, Monday but is slated for
action in homecoming festivities
while Wayne Goodall, sophomore
end, also showed up with a slight
charlcy-horse.
Missouri Injury-Riddled.
COLUMBIA, Mo., Oct. 19. Re
cuperations failed to balance Sat
urday's loses as injjury-pilfered
Missouri mapped strategy for its
collision with Iowa State this
weekend.
One of four regulars left behind
with injuries Bob Sweeney, No. 2
center was ready Monday with
Jeff Davis regular starter in uni
form but not drilling heavily. Ver
non Bowen and Don Ohara, right
halfbacks were idle, and Davis'
chances for action Saturday were
only fair.
Hospitalized for treatment of
knee injuries were End Marshall
Shurnas, Halfback Fred Kling and
Tackle Stan Schultz. Keith Parker
received treatment for the same
injury on the training table.
Gophers Ready
For Wolverines
MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 20 With
Michigan stating outright that it
is going to take home the Little
Brown Jug from next Saturday's
fracas at Minneapolis, and Michi
gan's publicity director calling a
press conference for Wednesday to
explain in good-natured fashion
just how victory will be achieved,
the Gophers are settling down to
four days of hard work with the
purpose of proving that " 'taint
so."
The game will mark the passage
of 50 years since Minnesota and
Michigan first clashed at Ann Ar
bor in October, 1892, and the tenth
anniversary of the Wolverines last
victory over the Gophers, in 1932.
At that time Fritz Crisler was the
Minnesota coach. The first game
of half a century ago Minnesota
won by 14 to 6, as it did also the
following year, but thereafter, un
til the Bierman regime was begun
at Minneapolis, Minnesota victor
ies were few enough and far
enough between to work up a tre
mendous hunger at Minnesota for
victory over the then Yostmen.
All this notwithstanding Dr.
Hauser and his new coaching staff,
and Dick Wildung and his power
ful though twice-defeated Gophers
are just as keen for a victory as if
they had been on the short end
in recent years.
Dr. Hauser expects to have his
team at approximately full
strength for the big homecoming
game, which is expected, also, to
provide the season's largest turnout.
