V, (Sports Editor)
Our sports news source from Ames, stamping grounds of
the Iowa btate Cyclones, sent us a release which champs on the
unusual.
Dated for Oct. 26 release, the news concerns the homecom
ing fracas between the Cyclones and Oklahoma. We quote from
the release: "Oklahoma enters the game tied for first place in
the Big Six, while Iowa State is tied for fifth with (Kansas or
Kansas State.)"
To the sports editor is dedicated this explanation: "The
foregoing sentence is true if Oklahoma stops Nebraska, Iowa
State loses to Missouri, and dependent upon the outcome of the
Kansas game please check." Optimism of the scribe in taking
for granted the Sooner win reflects the general trend of pre
game predictions.
Even stranger than a Roosevelt button ih Wall Street is a
Big Six grid race unadorned by at least one national "top ten"
contender.
Once again we have Missouri to offer for national recogni
tion if not for Big Ten citation. Individual brilliance has car
ried the Tigers to the bright lights this term. We speak of "in
dividual brilliance" in terms of the superb Tiger running at
tack. Said attack progressed some 600 yards against Iowa Stat
ers to move up among the nation's ground gobbling leaders.
Hasty Bob Steuber, central motivation behind the Mizzou
attack, boasts a total of 83 points in six games for position of
United States "scorer No. 1." Aiding Steuber is a backlield
inclusive of every item essential to offensive eminence.
Our "P.ig Ten" team, selected after a rabid conference
with our Hindu crystal gazer, herewith unfolds its puzzling self.
1. Ohio State. 6. Wisconsin.
2. (Jeorgia. 7. Army.
3. Georgia Tech. 8. S. C. U.
4. Alabama. 9. Minnesota.
5. Notre Dame. 10. Michigan.
Erstwhile Husker halfback, Bob DeFruiter scored two
touchdowns Saturday to help his mates, the March Field Flier3,
conquer San Diego State, 39 to 6.
DeFruiter ?s main claim to Husker fame was his touchdown
against Minnesota in 1939. Nebraska conquered the Gophers,
6 to 0, that term so Master DeFruiter basked in the limelight.
Consensus of press reports from the gentry who covered
the Sooner-Husker fracas brought three facts to light:
1. That the Husker offense is developing but with turtle
slowness.
2. That Dale Bradley is the sole back who can cope with
a line equal to Minnesota or Oklahoma.
3. That Nebraska, particularly in the backfield, lacks that
certain power of smooth function. There's something which
keeps the entire team from clicking -maybe too many first year
performers, possibly not enough reliable replacements.
"When they do click, watch out!" The cry has rode the
gaumlet in Big Six circles. Now we want to see those Huskers
click.
His 'onor, Mr. Luster
W. v.
MM LUSTen,
Sooner mentor, "Snorter" Luster, waxed considerable praise over
the play of several Huskers after they topped his Sooners Saturday.
Snorter was particularly impressed by the play of big Joe Byler,
Husker tackle. "He and Vic Schleich form one of the best tackle
combines in the B.g Six," sniffed Snorter.
Iowa State Navy
Will Have Cheer
Squad for Games
Aries, Iowa, Oct 23 It's going
to be cheers by the Navy cheer
leaders when Iowa State returns
to Clyde Williams field for Home
coming and Dad's day football
games.
Ensign Charts Fmoyer, recrea
tion officer at the Iowa State Col
lege Naval Training school, an
nounced today that tryouts would
be held to select the Navy cheer
leaders. The men will not only
lead the Navy section of the fans
In cheering but will alternate with
the Cyclone cheerleaders in the
student section.
The first step In the new cheer
ing exchange took place at last
week's Navy smoker when Jack
Gearhart and Bill Schaudt, Cy
clone cheerleaders, led the sailors
in yells.
Ensign Smoyer raid the tre
mendous crowd response to Navy
victories announced on the public
address system at Ames, and the
whole-hearted support of the Cy
clones by the sailors was the rea
son for picking cheerleaders.
Mimeographed copies of all col
lege yells have been distributed to
the sailors in the Naval Training
School.
Phi Gams Meet
Betas for Loop
Intramural Top
BY GENE SHERMAN.
Now that three of the four
touch football leagues are de
cided, league champs are begin
ning to concentrate on the play
offs which will begin the latter
part of this week. The cham
pion in the fourth circuit will be
crowned Wednesday afternoon
when the Delta Sigs and Sig Eps
clash in the title-deciding con
test The play-offs will bring together
two offensive-minded clubs in the
Beta and Phi Gam teams. The
ATO's and the winner of the Delta
Sig-Sig Ep game have had to
be content with one or two touch
down wins.
Nutzman Stars.
Ned Nutzman and his Fiji
teammates rolled up 127 markers
in four games to be the highest
scoring team of this season with
an average of 32 points per con
test. The Phi Gam's points ranged
from a 43-0 win over the Delts to
a 18-0 decision over the Sig
Nu's.
Although the Beta record doesn't
boast of high powered scores, the
opposition that the Beta's faced
was of a higher caliber than that
of the Phi Gams. Such teams as
the AGR's, Xi Psi Phi, and SAE's
could only hold the powerful Beta
Theta Pi boys to some 20 points
per game. Farm House, last year's
intramural champ, gave the Beta's
a scare by holding them to 6-0
score.
The ATO's may prove to be the
dark horse of the play-offs. With
such backs as John Thompson,
Kenny FJson, and Bob Jungman,
the Alpha Tau Omega men can
boast of the fastest back field.
If their strong line, led by center
Francis Hunt, continues to play
the brand of ball which they pre
sented to the Phi Delts and DU's,
things may be pretty hot for the
favorite Phi Gams and Bet's.
Futile Fray.
As for the winner of the Delta
Sig-Sig Ep game, it looks like
they are just going along for
the ride. Both clubs have tasted
defeat this season. However, the
Sig Eps, after being scored on
by the Delta Sigs in the opener,
have put together a front wall that
can be compared to some of the
top teams.
The Delta Sigs have a team
that has the ability to pull games
out of the fire. They scored on
the last play of the Alpha Sig
and Sammy game for victory.
Their other win was a 8-7 overtime
decision over the Sig Eps.

Cyclones Perform
Against Oklahoma
A1TES, la., Oct. 26. It's home
coming at Iowa State this week
and, if history is to be cited, the
Cyclones are in for a tough time
giving returning grads a victory.
Opponent for the 1942 home
coming event is Oklahoma, victor
in 11 cf the 14 games played
against the Cyclones. Not since
1931, when Iowa State won 13 to
12, has a Cyclone team defeated
Oklahoma. The 1026 game ended
in a 7-7 deadlock.
Last year Oklahoma handed the
Cyclones a 55 to 0 defeat at
Norrnan.
