'tWe3nes'clay, November 22, IS3f THE NEBRASKAN Cornhuskcrs In Practice Scrimmages Coach A. J. Lewandowski sent his Cornhuskers into practice drills with added, incentive this week. A defeat from the hands cf Kansas State might well mean cellar berth in Big Six stand ings for the Huskers. But a win would at least insure the Husk ers of a fourth place rating. Scrimmages composed the major part of ppractice schedules to toughen the Huskers for the Wildcats. Also general polish ing drills were included. Lineups included the following: First team: Bob Koenig and Lyle Colerick, ends; Lyle Kops and Fred Lorenz, tackles; John Stev enson and Al Grundmann, guards; Keith Doyle, center; Bill Betz, quarterback; Jack Selzer Jayhawks and Tigers Stage Annual Tussle In the only "Turkey-Day" game in the conference, Kansas and Missouri meet tomorrow in the 52nd annual tussle between the two squads. The Jayhawker-Tiger rivalry dates back to 1891 and continuing until the present day with the only interruption com ing the war torn days of 1913. The Kansans have won 25 games, the Missouri team 20. Seven of the games ended in deadlocks. Terrific rivalry is always promi nent in the contest. Last year the Jayhawks came through in a ter rific upset to win, 7-6. Navy Helps Kansas. Navy V-12 trainees will bolster the KU lineup. Three letter men and one V-12 trainee, Faulknei. Moffett and Robinson being the Kansans and Dwight Sutherland, former Princeton star, compose the KU backfield. Moffett gal loped 70 yards against Kansas State to a last minute touchdown but the play was called back or. a clipping penalty, meaning the difference in victory and defeat to the Jayhawks. Collins Leads MTJ. Missouri will be led by Paul Collins, leading conference scorer. Sour note in the Tiger tune is as to whether Bill Dellastatious wii! be available or not. The colorfu Missouri dazzler has been on the hospital list for some time. An other Tiger woe is in the full back slot, this being vacated with two injured plungers and one man being scholastically ineligible. The chief malaria carrier in this country is called "quad," short for the mosquito's full name. Anopheles Quadrimaculatus. and Chick Knight, halfbacks and Junior Collopy, fullback. Second teamers were Dedrick and Buckley, ends; Johnson and Feterson, tackles; Berquist and Rhoades, guards; Bcrkey, center; Gradoville, quarterback; Hollins, left halfback; Kessler and Lam berty, right halfback, and Jack Bryant, fullback. Third string lineup was Strahan and McCulla, ends; Kovanda and Strickland, tackles; Dermann and Pegler, guards; Ostenburg, center, Scoville, quarterback; Perdew and Nelson, halfbacks and Mauser, fullback. The Kansas State squad is ex pected to put up tough resist ance to everything the Huskers offer as well as show a lot of offense might themselves. A fleet backfield will be the main weap on of the State offense but with Jack Newell, brilliant freshman end, on the loose, a pass attack could be easily produced. The Wildcats have two victories during the season, the first over Wichita and the other being the more recent Kansas triumph. In an early season game the Aggies were held to a tie by Wichita and losses have been made at the hands of Michigan State, Mis souri, Iowa State and Oklahoma. Sooners Must Halt UN To Secure Loop Crown With but two games on its schedule this week, the "on again, off again" Big Six is in the home stretch. Some down-town quart erbacks say that "it's all over but for the shouting" while others say it won't be over until that final gun is sounded at Norman Okla homa on Dec. 2 when the Sooners tangle with the Nebraska Corn huskers. Sooners On Top. j Despite the fact that the Soon-1 ers apparently have the crown in the bag, Nebraska might turn up with the most surprising upset of of the season and down the Okies leaving the conference title to be shared between the Sooners and the Cyclones of .Iowa State, pre sent second berth occupants. The Husker tussle will be the last con ference game for the OU crew, Oklahoma A&M being the Sooner foe this week. Opponents downed by the Soon ers are Kansas, Kansas State, Texas A&M, Texas Christian and Iowa State, the latter three knocked from undefeated ranks by the Okies while victories went to Texas and Norman Navy with the Missouri Tigers gaining a draw. Impressive as the record is, tho tie with Missouri might indicate a Husker edge but that is the only place the Scarlets have any ad vantage at all for the Sooners took the Iowa State and Kansas squads who both overpowered the UN team by considerable margin. In all indications, it's another title crown for the Sooners. KU-MU on Thursday. In one of the now not-so-frequent Thanksgiving day games, Missouri and Kansas meet Thurs day at Lawrence, turkey-day tussle Tigers and Jayhawks also has its pecularities as far as a common opponent basis is concerned. The sunflower state squad succeeded in knocking off the Nebraska crew by a 20-0 count wherein the Tigers were humbled 19-14 by the Huskers. Then the Missouri squad forced Iowa State and Oklahoma into ties while the Jayhawks were smothered by both. Kansas State bowed to the Tigers early in the season and recently upset the Jay hawks, another Missouri advant age. But it's the Big Six and how it will end, nobody knows. Here in Lincoln, the Huskers come before the home crowd in the last of their three showings on Nebraska soil this year when the Huskers and Kansas State en tangle, the game being still an other among the unpredictables. The Kansas State-Nebraska and Kansas-Missouri skirmishes wind up the conference season but for The annual i the final between Oklahoma and between tho Nebraska on December 2.
