II (Sports Editor) Space is the stuff with which thermos bottles .are filled; the thing which is missing when sixj)cople climb into a coupe; the stuff which we're taking up here. Those unpredictables of Husker gTidom took their second Bisr Six victory yesterday, relying upon "Form A" for a single quarter to move by Oklahoma. For the enlightenment of fans, "Form A" features the Scarlet attack in high gear. Ball luggers sail true to the mark, defensive play is tight, and the blocking is right. Included in the Conihusker repertoire is also the "Form IV style of play. "Form IV thus far has surpassed "Form A" in popularity during the initial four battles. Marked by fumbling, missed blocks, and general offensive confusion, "Form IV is the Mr. Hyde of the Jckyll-llyde method of Scarlet play. A form of gridiron self-conseiousncss and inability to per form under ' pressure, common diseases among soph-filled teams, attribute the "Form A" and "Form IV differences of performance. Grantland Rice, Bill Corum all of you gridiron-predicting experts here's a note of warning: Look to your laurels! In Friday's Kag on page seven was our regular prediction box which always proceeds the big games of the following day. N'oisy liobin Miller, a converted sports scribbler, tabbed on the nose the 13 0 final count of the Wisconsin-Purdue battle. Managing editor, Al Jacobs, who boasts his percentage sonic .200 points when lit proofs the box, picked Nebraska over Oklahoma, 7-0. Last and not least, Carton Uroderick chose Kansas over Kansas State by the exact 19-7 margin. Mystery man Uroderick uses a system of grid picking which is duplicated no placr else. Only gent who can bring Carton in contact with the spirit world. is his bartender. So Cart lines up ten Vodka's, downs 'em then starts predicting with a Qicsha girl on either knee. Downright terrifying is this dispatch from Columbia, Mo.. While Nebraska was advancing- to contendership for the Big Six by virtue of a one-touchdown verdict over the Sooners, those champ Missouri Tigers ran roughshod over Iowa State, 45-6. Amazing part of the overwhelming Tiger victory is the post-game offensive summary. All Don Faurot's offense could do was surpass 600 wet yards rushing. Paired with some 400-odd rushing yards the Tigers gobbled against Kansas a week previous, sum total offense for two games surpasses a thousand yards. "Whether Nebraska's stout defensive line can master Steuber & Mates is food for conjecture. There may be enough food for a conjecture banquet when those Tigers invado Memorial Stadium, Nov. 7.

A scries of spot passes by Hamni provided the nucleus for the drive. Enroute, two fumbles helped the Sooner attack. Once Baker fum bled "to" Morford for a nine' yard gain. Another fumble was the Hamm-to-Green bobble for 11 yards. Another Sooner march early in the opening period might have progressed into a serious stage if Davis hadn't fumbled. His bobble was recovered by Al Zikmund on the Husker 32-yard stripe. Okla homa continued to march after Bradley had punted. But Nebraska stiffened and held for downs on the 22-yard line. A great quick kick by Bradley sailed down to the Oklahoma 19 to put the Huskers out of trouble. Huskers Challenge A blocked Sooner punt, courtesy Eugene Sim, gave Nebraska pos session on the Oklahoma 35 in the last period. But Oklahoma was up to the challenge and held for downs on the 27. Top individual performer on the field was Nebraska's diminutive pivot, Joe Partington. Joe tackled virtually everything that trotted from the Sooner bench except the water boy.
