Injured Huskers Leave Today
Cooper, Hazen, Schleich,
Bachman, Bradley Crippled
Injuries continued to be the
main source of worry to the
llusker coaching Btaff yesterday
as the Scarlet -and Cream under
went their first and last real
workout prior to the Pitt game
Saturday.
New squad changes indicated
that Mentor Presnell is not even
counting on the services of Jack
Hasten, one of the ttp pass-grabbers
on the roster.- Jack viewed
proceedings from his crutches and
his name was omitted from the
roster.
Gelwlck Upped.
Loss of Hazcn left the varsity
left wing post open to Ed Nydcn,
who performed well against the
Tigers. Dean Gelwick, ex-Lincoln
high wingster, moved into Nyden's
regular second team end clot.
Still hobbled slightly was Forrie
Bachman, hard-hitting second
team pivot. Bachman injured his
ankle against Mizzou but should
be available for Pitt.
Still hobbled by the ankle injury
which benched him for a portion
of the Tiger tilt was Vic Schleich,
a necessary bulwark in the Husker
line. Schleich's possible avail
ability for only part-time duty
would hamper line x defensive
strength against the Panthers.
Dale Bradley, still injured but still
as eager to perform, will see only
part time action and Bobby Coop
er's lame shoulder may stymie his
play entirely.
Replacing Cooper in the quarter
back regiment provides Prcsnell's
top worry. Roy Long was buried
at the third team signal-barking
spot prior to his sensational rise.
Wayne Stranathan, versatile util
ity man who is slated to start at
right guard, may even be called
upon in case Freddy Metheny is
injured.
Top Three Teams.
First lineup includes Marvin
Thompson and Ed Nyden, ends;
Joe Byler and Vic Schleich, tack
les; Wayne Stranathan and Char
lie Duda, guards; Joe Partington,
center; Fred Metheny, quarter
back; Roy Long and Mary Athey,
halfbacks; and Ki Eisenhart, full
back. Second team lineup: Jerry Ka
thol and Dean Gelwick, ends; Bob
McNutt and Eugene Sim, tackles;
Bill Bryant and Herb Von Goctz,
guards; Forrie Bachman, center;
Bobby Cooper, quarterback; Dale
Bradley and Al Zikmund, half
backs; and Wally Hopp, fullback.
Third team: Vic Clark and Bob
Gillaspie, ends; M. Grubaugh and
Chuck Wright, tackles; Gene Wil
kins and Frank Hazard, guards;
Gene Stranathan, center; Harold
Hungerford, quarterback; Howard
Debus, Hank Reichel, halfbacks,
and George Wright fullback.
Stranathan's name at third team
pivot prompted one wise gridder
to scribble "superman" over it

Not since Errol Flyim stalled his eliockor-playing tour have
wc soon an equal to the publicity which Scarlet gridtlcrs thrust
on their fullback last eve.
It scorned suspicious when Spencc Porter, II usher student
manager, stomped into this stable at 5:4.") with the demand for
throe Sunday raj?s. Next came Joe Partington asking for four
copies, followed by u procession of his mates. As our Sunday
supply dwindled to nothing wc commenced to wonder. We con
tinued to ponder until a trek upstairs revealed the mystery.
On every available bulletin board, from Corn Crib to Men
Only" hang-outs, we were greeted by cartoons of original key
bird, Ki Eisenhart. One cartoon on the main Union bulletin
board carried this inscription: "Above is the Muggy key-bird,
Eisenhart. Autographed pictures in the rag office at a dollar
per dozen. "
To a blushing Mr. Eisenhart went the royal horse laugh as
the gridders emerged from their training table to inspect the
Partington-Thompson-Grubaugh-etc. mischief.
As the thundering presses start to roll, our boy Sambo
dashes in with Gunga Din speed. In his hand he bears a wire
which qualifies Nebraska for national repute in at least one
department.
"Roy Long, a consistent bench-warmer two weeks ago for
the Nebraska Comhuskers, now holds a nation record. Long's
55 offensive plays against Missouri last Saturday established a
mark for the season, according to figures compiled by the Amer
ican Football Statistical bureau. The previous high was 53 plays
by Frank Sinkwich of Georgia against Alabama.
"llusker lioy carried the ball 27 times and threw 28 passes.
His total of 24:1 net yards gained is a new seasonal high for the
midwest, topping Kay Evans' 228 yards for Kansas against
Texas Christian."
Just like Carton Hroderick put it: "It'll be a Long time
before lioy'll gather splinters from that bench again!"
Quarter-by-quarter statistics of the plays used Saturday
give Nebraska an edge only in the third stanza. Evidence that
the show-me club utilized its opportunity can be illustrated by
Nebraska's 75-47 lead in the total plays attempted.

LMliiflsCeir Co-op
Woods B-Rfl Crown
Filled with fight, the Comhusk
er Co-op's light nine came thru
with the vardaee to win a 1 to 0
victory over the Bachelors club
last night in the finals or we earn
Intra-mural touch football season.
It was a hard loss for the
Bachelor's, who had taken the
Huskers in a tight game last
Thursday with a 7 to 0 score. But
the Co-op had its spark-plug, Joe
Noble, back again ana tnai was
all they needed to hold the f ight
ine Bachelors scoreless. Norman
Bristol also stood out in the win
ner's attack.
0-0 Deadlock.
The regular four quarters of the
game ended in a 0 to 0 deadlock.
When it was decided to play the
four extra downs apiece necessary
to determine the victor without
another game, the Bachelor's took
the ball and made a loss of about
ten yards on their first play. On
their next plays they failed to
carry the ball beyond the scrim
age line and their fourth down
ended with a total yardage of
negative ten.
Taking the ball with ten yards
in their favor the Husker team
used an off-tackle run to gain
four yards with Noble carrying
the ball. Oh the next two plays,
both reverses, they lost six yards
but Bowles carried the pigskin
again on the last play to gain 15
yards and the Comhuskers, out
played for most of the game, took
the championship by a score of
1 to 0.
Features Passes.
Feature of the first half of the
game was the passing attack of
the Bachelor club which several
times reached the 6-yard line and
failed to go across. On one of
these times the Husker team had
the ball insidetheir own 5-yard
line. Noble's punt on the fourth
down was blocked by the Bache
lors and it would have Been a
safety for them if they hadn't
been off side and a five yard pen
alty declared.
On the next punt the ball rock
eted down the ield for 50 yards
and from then on the Bachelors
were held fairly near the center of
the field or on their own side.
Clark Rice, outstanding player
for the Bachelors continued to at
tempt passes, some of which were
completed but many knocked
down by alert Huskermen. In the
last quarter of the game this
Cornhusker facility for preventing
passes kept the Bachelors well out
of the danger zone on many long
throws.
Coming out on top for the last
minutes of the game, the Huskers
also tried a passing attack. Two
long passes by Noble to C. D. Mas
sen in the end zone were knocked
down, but the Cornhusker spirit
carried them through the over
time period to win the game.
Stars on the winning team be
sides Noble were Bristol and
Ralph Beckwith. Looking best for
the losers were Frances Rolfes
and Bill Green.
Cyclones Plot
Net For Evans
AMES, Iowa, Nov. 10. How to
stop Ray Evans of Kansas, the
nation's No. 1 passer, will be the
important item of instruction for
Iowa State football men this week.
That the job is a touch one is
borne out in the Kansas figures
from passing 154 attempts. 75
completions. Evans has earned his
record in spite of the power of op
posing teams. Not even the Iowa
City pro-flight tonm, Oklahoma,
Nebraska, Marquette, or Washing
ton has come close to halting his
hurling progress.
Coach Mike Michnlske has hones
of being the first to halt Evans.
If the Cytlones are to have a
chance to tie the Jayhawks for
fourth place they must handcuff
Evans.
raul Dai ling, Iowa State full
back, was the only cripple added
to the Cyclone list in the game at
Villanova. Darling bruised a knee
but is expected to be able to play
against Kansas. Bob Caddock, re
serve right end who was left at
home last week, is back for prac
tice and will be available Saturday.
