Scarlet in football prowess. The
only time the Kansas State team
threatened to cross the Husker
goal line was early in the first
quarter.
The Purple "squad lost the toss
and kicked off. After three un
successful running plays left the
ball on the Nebraska 22, Vacanti
dropped back to punt. He fum
bled the pass from center and in
an attempted run, got back to the
24 where the Wildcats took over.
Wildcats Threaten.
Kansas State moved the ball
to the Husker one-foot line and
had four downs to make the dis
tance, but Fred Lorenz, Ed
Schwartzkopf, Cary Samuelson
and Vern Stimer held fast on two
running plays and third and
fourth down passes were incom
plete.
Roy Long's punt was almost
blocked and once more the Man
hattan team moved within the 10
yard line, but again Nebraska
held.
Those two attempts were the
etxent of the Kansas State attack,
except for unsuccessful passes
which were the order oi tne aay
every timee the Wildcats got the
ball. Nebraska, however, had
learned its lesson in pass defense
and the continued aerial efforts
netted the Kansas State team
nothing in the scoring column.
Hutton scored the first Nebras
ka touchdown when he raced
wide around his own right end
for 32 yards, outfoxing several
Wildcat tacklers who had clear
shots at him. Vacanti added the
extra point, kicking- from the 17
yard line after a holding penalty
had nullified his successful at
tempt from the two yard stripe.
In the second quarter Moomey
climaxed a sustained drive from
the Nebraska 21, when he took a
Dass in the flat from Vacanti and
scooted nine yards to paydirt. This
time Vacanti missed the conver
sion after a second holding pen
alty had squelched a bullseye
from the regulation distance.
K-Staters Tire.
Following the halftime rest, Ne
braska rolled over the tiring
Wildcats for two counters in the
third period. Hutton tallied the
first score of the quarter by tak
ing Vacanti's long pass, and Moore
added another six frWnts by driv
ing over from the four yard line.
A pass from game captain Fred
Metheny to End Jack Pesek was
good for 40 yards and put the ball
on the four from where Moore
plunged over.
Moore, regular fullback last
year, added the final points of the
day three, minutes after the fourth
period opened by slipping thro a
hole in the K State line to score
from three yards out Bob Tegt
missed the placements followinr
both Moore touchdowns.
Thruout much of the second
half both teams battled ineffec
tively in the midfield area as
substitutes took over the point
making responsibilities.
Quarterback Al Bandy and
Fullback Karl Kramer, who put
two kicks ou of bounds deep in
Nebraska territory, were about all
the Wildcats had to offer.
Penalties Hurt
The Huskers indicaled that they
had partially conquered the pass
defense weakness, and showed
flashes of offensive ability, altho
the play was ragged much of the
time. Frequent penalties and fum
bles thwarted scoring drives, the
Kansas fumbliing four times and
losing 55 yards on penalties. Ne
braska lost 130 yaras oi penal
ties and fumbled twice, recovering
one of the bobbles.
Scarlet line play was uniformly
good, as the UN forwards smoth
ered all Wildcat attempts to gain,
and Hobbs' Adams' aggregation
wound up the afternoon with a
net loss of 44 yards.
Thruout the afternoon the
Huskers gained a total of 354
yards, 124 via the airlanes. line

Sidelights
OnUN-Wihtyat
Football Battle
BY BILLJSWANSON.
The thrill of the opening home
game of the season! The houses
on the campus full to overflow
ing with returning alums . . .
The traffic so heavy on R street
that the Lincoln police force had
a special detail of men to direct
traliic on that thoroughfare . . .
Everything and everybody alive
with excitement and activity . . .
That was the scene yesterdny be
fore the Husker-K. State battle.
On entering the stadium, it was
seen that the place would be
packed to capacity before game
time. The Knot-Hole sections at
both ends of the field were jam
med at least an hour before the
kickoff.
Late comers missed a pregame
spectacle in the form of a color
ful parade of the visiting high
schools which were present for
the annual Band Day celebration.
Rain Threatened.
Many an anxious eye was cast
skyward, on the alert for the rain
which seemed imminent. The
cautious souls who feared the in
clement weather added to the
color of the scene with tneir Drn
liant rain coats and umbrellas.
Many U of N men were seen
wearing hats for the first time in
the current college year simply
couldn't afford to get those curls
wet.
The opening exercise, a saluta
tion to the new chancellor, R. G.
Gustavson, presented by the
smart-stepping Husker band under
the direction of Don Lents and
under the field leadership of
"Shorty" Tangeman was especi
ally effective. The Corn Cobs
and the Tassels were well-drilled
in their part of the opening cere
mony. The kickoff with 35,000 throats
cheering was reminiscent of old
Husker games when the stadium
was filled to capacity for every
game.
Nebraska's goal line stand on
the six inch line early in the fi st
quarter also recalled flashes of
earlier Husker form as did the
35 yard jaunt of fleet Dick Hut
ton shades of Cardwell, perhaps.
The game ran true to early sea
son form with a multitude of long
penalties and some very poor ball
handling.
The half-time intermission was
filled with a panorama of color as
the Varsity Band again took the
field, flanked on either side by
eight high school bands, to play
the Star-Spangled Banner and a
number of college pieces. The
short-skirted, high stepping: ma
jorettes were especially appealing
to some of the dateless wonders
in the student section.
The card sections carried off
the stunts in a very satisfactory
manner, although as always, there
were a few slip-ups and yellow
or red cards appeared where all
should have been true blue. Only
the final picture of the ear of
corn with "Husker" spelled be
low in red letters was perfect.
The athletic depatment and the
Pep organizations are to be con
gratulated for . a well-developed
and displayed card attraction.
All in all, it was a perfect day
for the Cornhuskers and their
boosters. We rang up our first
victory of the season and there is
a bright prospect for better things
to come.
