Dellastatious punting to Betz who
returned to the Husker 35. One
play later, Hollins quick-kicked
65 yards to the Tiger 4-yard line.
Missouri exploded therein on a
96-yard drive, featured in main
by a long pass from Dellastatious
to Collins to the Husker 20-yard
line. UN's Betz intercepted the
fling but he interfered with the
receiver. Collins then connected
with Exler for the first Tiger
tally. Kekeris - split the uprights
with his placement.
Missouri 7, Nebraska 6. Sideline
quarterbacks nodded with satis
faction. They had told us, hadn't
they?
Iluskers Lead Half.
Every spectator, from Lewan
dowski down to Waldo, Memorial
Stadium custodian, failed to
reckon with the drive and defen
sive fight which was reminiscent
of the Huskers of old. A Missouri
advance carried down to the
Husker 24-yard line five minutes
before the haltime gun. There
Doyle, Colerick, Selzer & Co.,
stiffened to force Kekeris to at
tempt a field goal from the 25.
The ball sailed wide of the up
rights. The slogan "Nebraska
takes over on downs," once a by
word in Cornhusker game ac-
" tVia U'nrfl Vi erc

The stage was set for the most!
pectacular play of the day. Two
It vnr rlH kiHs Jack Splzer of
Scdttsbluff and Bill Betz ofJinn
coin highr-wera the wmctple ac
tors. Selzer spun for five yards
thru right tackle. A pass, Betz to
Lamberty, picked up six yards.
Selzer then took a wide lateral
from Betz for nine yards and an
other first down. Selzer unwound
to Colerick, -who fielded the ball
on the Missouri 42. Selzer then
passed to Betz for 17 more yards.
A Miracle Happens.
The ball rested on the Missouri
28-yard line. Ed Gradoville took
the pass from center and faded
straight back. Square Dick Lam
berty sprinted far downfield in
the midst of the Tiger secondary,
Gradoville cocked and fired. Lam
berty leaped high among two
grasping Missourians, clutched
the pigskin like a gas coupon and
plunged the remaining three
yards. Four solid minutes of bed
lam followed in the homecoming
crowd. Lamberty s placement was
blocked.
Nebraska 12, Missouri 7.
Tongues started to wag in the
crowd and eyes were popping.
Were these Lewandowski's poor,
little wartime orphans?
Missouri Returns.
Missouri quickly countered at
the outset of the second half.
Bill Dellastatious, Missouri's most
essential backfield ingredient,
then opened a one-man cam
paign. He swivel-hipped for 36
and 11 yards in 'two plays from
the Husker 47. His touchdown
from the 11 -yard line occurred
with five minutes gone from the
third period. Kerkersis' placement
was good.
Missouri 13, Nebraska 12.
Well the kids had put up a
good scrap.
Selzer Again.
Once again, it was the thinly-
legged kid from the Pan Handle,
Jack Selzer, who swung the tide.
After an exchange of punts, Del
lastatious punted to Selzer who
fielded the ball on his own 17.
He calmly surveyed the field, then
started down the east sidelines.
It required three Missourians and
a tug-of-war to stop the galvant
ing 158-pounder on the Missouri
21. The Little Guy had covered
62 precious yards and the Huskers
were threatening again.
Lamberty rambled 12 yards on
a lateral down to the Missouri
nine. Selzer then tossed easily to
Betz who caught the leather in
the end zone. Lamberty's kick
missed fire.
Nebraska 18, Missouri 13. Side
line quarterbacks commenced to
babble with amazement.
Another Miracle!
If any member of the partisian
audience had failed to reveal his
tonsils previously, they received
an airing when the Huskers
scored their next touchdown.
After an exchange of punts, Del
lastatious attempted a pass. Car

Scarlet guard, Intercepted ttie
aerial on the Nebraska 43 and
galloped to the Missouri four as
the crowd went wild. The third
quarter gun sounded.
Collopy banged over left guard
for two yards, then found an
other hole at center for the re
maining distance to pay dirt.
Duane Berkey's placement was
wide.
Nebraska 24, Missouri IS. It
must be a dream, but not in the
wildest slumber could a crowd of
7500 make that much noise. Those
Huskers had found themselves.
One More Thrust.
Missouri had yet to lose hope.
Bob Hopkins, reserve halfback,
sparked a fourth period drive
which saw the Huskers make a
gallant three-play stand within
their 21yard line. It required four
downs before Michelson darted
thru for the score. Kekeris missed
his placement effort.
Nebraska 24, Missouri 20. Could
those Huskers stall for the re
maining 12 minutes?
Stall they did for the duration
of the contest. So tired they
moved with effort out of huddles,
the Scarlet checked a series of
frantic Tiger attacks. When Hop
kins' last-second pass was inter
cepted by Joe Kessler as the gun
barked, the east stadium crowd
whooped down upon the field.
There followed an impromptu
celebration dowa O street which.
paralleled the hysteria raised in
1937 when the Huskers upset
a national champion Minnesota
team 13-9. I
Somewhere on that gridiron the
Cornhuskers had recovered that
spirit today. It might have been
that blazing little warrior, Selzer
. . or Lamberty, Doyle, Knight
or Collopy . . . that brought the
spirit forth.
It might have been that grand
old gentleman of Husker athletic
lure, Pa Schulte, who lurked in
spiirt over Memorial stadium.
Anyway, the Huskers are with
us again.
