Presnel Limits
Prior to Missouri Title Fr
When Missouri's gridmen trot
onto Memorial Stadium sod Satur
day they will find Glen Presnell's
eleven intent on conquering them
because: 1. Memory of that nar
row Missouri victory last fall still
rankles in Husker circles. 2. Vic
tory Is essential for the Ncbras
kans to salvage a Big: Six title
from a bclow-par season.
Missouri will invade Husker ter
ritory also boasting victory mo
tives which are twofold. 1. Vic
tory is necessary for the league
title. 2. Nothing is sweeter in
Mizzou annals than wins over the
Cornhuskers.
Bradley Still Hurt.
Both clubs will sally into the
1942 rendition of their classic with
crippled rosters. Mizzou will be
minus its prize fullback, Bull
Reece, and possibly Bob Steuber,
Ail-American halfback candidate.
Top Nebraska worry at the mo
ment is the injured right side of
Dale Bradley. Bradley was in
jured against the Jayhawks and
his participation Saturday is ex
pected to be strictly part time. Al
Zikmund, speedy left half, again
resided under the baking light last
night but he should be in top
shape by game time. Zik will share
game captain duties with Vic
Schleich.
Main interest in the starting
Husker lineup is the scrap over
the right tackle and left guard
spots. Lanky Joe Byler and stocky
Bob McNutt have waged a see-saw
battle for the right tackle berth
since the season opened. McNutt
held the advantage on the latest
squad roster, released Tuesday by
Mentor Presnell. Charlie Duda
gained the nod over Herb Von
Goetz in another close decision.
Presnell indicated again last
night that contact work would be
limited prior to game time. A
glance at his injury list convinced
the Husker coach that he couldn't
afford any contact work. Wilford
Hatfield, fourth team pivot, was
lost for three weeks via an injury
against the frosh Tuesday.
Pass Defense
Weak At Ames
AMES, la., No. 3. The big
building project at Iowa State this
week is going to be pass pro
tection. Cyclone passers were tossed for
a total of 72 yards of loss by
aggressive Oklahoma forwards
last week and Coach Mike Mich
alske proposes to correct that;
situation before the Villa Nova
game Friday night 1
"In every aspect of the game
except pass protection, we were
50 percent stronger against Okla
homa than at any time this year,"
Michalske said Monday. "It was
by far the most spirited game we
have played. At the half I
thought for sure we were going to
win. But oar passer never had a
chance to throw the bail and we
couldn't run it without a passing
threat"
So, Monday night was devoted
'entirely to building up protection
for pass plays.
The scouting report on Villa
Nova arrived in town late Monday
night so Michalske and his staff
will have only two nights to work
on the Wildcat plays.

After the smoke had cleared
over the many gridirons last Sat
urday afternoon, only one major
football eleven remained in the
select group of undefeated and un
tied football teams.
Frankie Sinkwich and his Geor
gia Bull Dogs by virtue of their
last quarter 21-10 win over Ala
bama became the number one
team in the south, if not in the
entire nation. Georgia should keep
their record unblemished this week
when they meet a much inferior
Florida team.
Six football machines bit the
dust for the time this season.
Possibly the biggest upset was the
Wisconsin 17-7 defeat of the pre
viously number one team in the
nation, Ohio State. If the Badgers
win their three remaining Western
Conference contests, the Big Ten
title will end up at the Madison
school.
Army's 19-0 loss to Pennsyl
vania took a little of the edge off
of the coming Army-Notre Dame
battle, but the Irish prepared for
the annual meeting by sinking the
Navy 9-0.

tied teams and records:

ANNAPOLIS, Md. Oct 29
War has effected college football
once again. According to An
napolis City Counselor Henry J.
Tarantino's words, the annual
service classic's attendance will
drop from the 100,000 to the 8,000
mark if President Roosevelt's ban
holds true.
There's no doubt," he said
Tuesday, "but what the stands
will be virtually empty for the
Army-Navy football game, unless
some provision is made for out-of-town
people to attend."
Tarantino figures that to fill
Thompson stadium, which holds
22,000 people, every Annapolitan,
including the entire United States
naval academy midshipmen regi
ment academy personnel, and a
goodly number of country folk,
must become a football fan by No
vember 28th.
Altho President Roosevelt's or
der restricts attendance to 20,000,
it Is not probable that this num
ber would be reached because the
population of Annapolis is only
14,000.
Tough Luck Rides
Sooner Grid Coach
NORMAN, Okla., Oct 28. If
pity must be heaped on any one
individual in the Big Six, it must
be handed out to Snorter Luster,
head man of the Oklahoma foot
ball machine.
Here are the reasons why: (1)
Luster lost his teeth, (2) two
teams of last rear's lettermen
were missing this fall, 3) Halfback
Dave Wallace and Tackle Sammy
Stephens are out for the rest of
the season with injuries, (4) the
Sooners have lost heart breakers
to Texas and Nebraska, and (5)
Oklahoma's record of not having
lost an opening home game in 18
rears came to an end last Satur
day.

BY HENRY FISHBACK.
Missouri's rampaging and Ne
braska's Cornhuskers dominators
of Big Six gridiron play collide
for the conference championship
in the current renewal of half
century of pigskin rivalry Satur
day afternoon in Memorial sta
dium. Fierce fire will burn in the
hearts of Headman Glen Presnell
and his Huskers when they dan
the moleskins this weekend.
Kindling this fire is a record that
reveals: One Nebraska victory in
four encounters, a to 0 triumph
for Missouri in 1941, and the Ti
gers sharing with Kansas the title
of walloping the Cornhuskers
more times than any other Big
Six aggregation. Further fuel on
the blase is the fact that not one
single team on which Presnell
played m his ooDegiate days de
feated Missouri.
Since the start of the colorful
pigskin series which b-gan with a
Tiger victory in 1894 the Corn
huskers hare won 22; lost nine and
tied three gams. Missouri in
later years, exploding along the
comeback trail since Don Faurot
took the coaching reins in 1935,
baa been potsoncus to the Husk
ers. Mixrou's victories came in
strings. The Tigers knocked off
the Huskers twice in a roll in 1894
and 1895, took another 1899, three
in succession in "the Husker dark
ages of 1925-27, and three of the
last four battles.

the Tigers were somewhat of a
current affair up to recent years.
Overworking the scoring tabulator
the Huskers won 41 to 0 in 1897
and 47 to 6 in 1898. Owen Frank
galloped to four touchdowns in a
34 to 0 route in 1911 and after a
one otuchdown win in 1912 the
Lincoln prodigies triumphed 52 to
0 with Schallenberg scoring four
touchdowns in 1917. One light 14
to 6 win followed and then it was
Cornhuskers, 48 to 0 in 1922.
Following the dark ages and
1929 and 1930 deadlocks the Corn
huskers resumed their victory do
ings in a more peaceable state
with Masterson manufacturing a
10 to T win in 1931 and Matbis
leading a 21 to 6 triumph a year
lead. Wild activities took up
again, Sauer and his Nebraskans
speeding to a 28 to 0 decision in
1933 and Francis reaching goal
dust twice for a 19 to 6 win in
1935 following another 13 to
close one a year previous.
The score read 20 to 0 in 1936,
then 7 to 0 on a Phelps to Plock
pass in 1937 with wild Huskers
doings ended with a 20 to 6 in
Rose Bowl year, after two conse
cutive defeats.
