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.
