1 Sunday, October 6, 1946 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Page BY WALT LOOMIS. Before two thousand loyal Corn husker' rooters and a sprinkling of Colorado fans, the Nebraska "B" team Thursday night racked ud their second straight win of the voune season. The score of 18 to 0 does not tell the full story of the Cornhusker's superiority, for never were the Buffs threat ening to score ,and the winners lost at least four scoring chances by fumbling. Most of the game was played in a driving rain, which made it even more dif ficult for the smooth functioning of the Nebraska T formation. After a scoreless first quarter, during which the Nubbins accum ulated a total of 154 yards by rushing, the second string struck for two quick touchdowns. Stroud Paces. On tb opening play of the sec ond quarter, Harvey Stroud, gath erec up a Colorado punt on his own thirty-six and raced sixty four yards to pay dirt. Two im portant blocks paved the way for Harvey and he side-stepped two tacklers to go the last thirty yards by himself. A few minutes later, a quick opening play off the T formation sprung Omaha's Kill Prall loose for twenty-six yards and the sec ond counter. Early in the fourth period, Quarterback Carl Dilldine threw a fifty-five yard pass to Darwin Salestrom who took it on the ten and loafed across for the third tally. : . In the early moments of the game the Huskers lost one of their first string halfbacks whjen Bud Gerlach broke an ankle, a loss which :will be felt throughout the seasorn. Before he was hurt, Ger lach had started a Cornhusker drive by running forty yards to the Colorado thirty-three yard line. Fumbles Hurt. After Wally Hopp had picked up a couple of yards and Del Wiegand had run to the two on a reverse around the Buff's left end, the Huskers looked like a sure bet for a score. This threat was ended, however, when Wie gand fumbled on the two, but Bob Schreiner and Dale Adams soon had the ball deep in their oppo nent territory again. This oppor tunity alst) was ended by a fumble, this time by Adams, and the Colo radoans punted out of the hole. Then came the fireworks which saw the Nubbins score twice in the second period. Wally Hopp played an outstand ing game at fullback, and the run ning of Stroud and Schreiner again sprakled. The game, which was arranged by the Alliance Chamber of Com merce to bring collegiate football to the western part of the state, proved very successful to all con cerned, despite the adverse condi tions under which the game was played.

So when Tueker tumbled on the 10, and Davis did the aame. The crowd In Yankee Stadium began to leave the name. Oh, this upstart team from nrnland, not given a rhanre to win. Had tuned the Army' confidence to feelinK of chagrin, For, two minutes after the (ante had gotten antler way, 8am acantl showed the boys this was one ane he'd play. He faded U his tea, with Hutton la the flat. And whipped his arm forward Hutton caught it, that was that. Yet still the Army club kept In Its second team. Thinking they'd use the second half to get back oa the beam. Then Just before the half, with five yards to the goal, Novak plunged to the 3 when "Schwartzy" opened up a ho'.e. Then in came junior to bull it to the one And lmg slammed it over juxt before the gun. After the intermission, the Huhkers couldn't un a thing. And the Army fan In the bleacher again began to n ag. Cor whea Tucker parsed to Poole and lilanrhard ripped the line. There wa mulling left lor llavi but to do his best to khine. He took the ball from Tucker and fading to his right. He clreli d the left end and was soon way out of sight. And now the shadows begin to lengthen and the field is pretty dark. But the fans are again filins bark Into the park. It looked like the end for Nebraska, but they gallantly fonght on, la hoes that Cadet power would prac tically be gone. Bui Blanchard continued to crack the line and llavis swept Mae tlank. And I N's hopes were fading rnd their spirits really sankc Davis loomed to the five, where Moontry made the stop. It appeared the Army was now a cinch to cop. With a minute left and Blanchard ready to go through. Nebraska wa finally getting what w supposed to be their due. Tucker took the ball from crater and faked it to the half. Then handed It to Blanchard bat he couldn't stand the gaff. And when the ret grablird the ball and et it on the around. It rested on the three and from the stands came not a sound. Once more the gray-clad Army 'men, with dritoerat ion's fire. Charged the smaller Hu-ker line and made a hole anyone would aamirr. So Blanchard lurched ahead, bat his foot slipped and he fell. From the umpire, "Third and two!" from his teammates, "Aw, Hell!" Agala the tiring Army erew charged the gallant Husker line. But the Cadet barkfleM got muddled, aad someone missed a sign. So Tucker darked his head aad pushed to the one. Still l neconils maybe the "Great Ma chine" wata't really done. Army had a hurried huddle aad trotted to their posts. They had a chanri a good one and they woman , oK t4i harked the alraals tensely, ine hall went off to "Hoc.". And the 'Husker line braced Itself for the long expected shock. Ab! Somewhere ta this favored land, the son Is shlntac aright. And somewhere people laugh aad some where heads are ngni. And somewhere ... bat watt I W hat's ihni slill noon the one? Why it the footbalK aad on It Samael- last Moscow concert, he was showered with gifts, including em broidery and linen for his wife and Crimean wines for his mother, who was born in Russia. As had been his practice for all overseas wartime appearances, Menuhin declined any fee for his concerts, which were sold out before any announcement had been made! In stead he suggested that proceeds go to' the Soviet Red Cross. Russian people have an intense desire, Menuhin feels, to hear artists from the outside world so that they can compare their ar tists with those from other coun tries. The violinist found that Mos cow audiences enjoyed tense, pas sionate music most, and that they were almost the direct opposite of Paris audiences. Student season tickets, selling for $5, are now available at the offices of the Union and the School of Music. Sales at the Union will continue as long as the supply lasts, according to Pat Lahr. Reserved seat season tick ets will sell at $9 for main floor and balcony and $12 for loge seats are on sale at the inner box of fice of the Stuart theater where all concerts will be held except that of Menuhin vhich will take place at the coliseum. I World Series Opens Today In St. Louis Today the World Series will get under way at Sportsman Park, St. Louis. The participants in sport's most colorful pageant will be the Boston Red Sox of the American League and the St. Louis Cardin als of the National League. Betting Commissioner James J. Carroll has established the Red Sox as overwhelming favorites. You get $7 for belting $20 on the Red Sox. The first game will be at St. Louis, as will be the second. Then the teams will go to Boston to play the next three if necessary. If sixth and seventh games are required, they will take place in St. Louis. Probable Pitchers Probable opening pitchers are Brecheen or Pollet for the Card inals and Hughson or Harris for Boston. Eddie Dyer of St. Louis will probably follow up with Dickson and maybe Munger in the third and fourth contests. Manager Joe Cronin of the Red Sox will use Ferriss and either Dobson or oJhnson in the first two games at Boston. Because of Boston's overwhelm ing strength at all posts, they must be considered as heavy 'favorites. In only two positions, first base and third, do the Cards outshine the Beantowners. Stan Musial is much better than ponderous but hard hitting Rudy York. Bob Doerr jmd Johnny Pesky make up thhe best double play combination in the majors today, and both are good hitters. George Kurowski at third rates over any third-sacker the Sox can muster. Williams, Dom DiMaggio and Moses are far above the Cardinals outfield of Slaughter, Moore and Sisler or Dusak. Boston's battery can resist anything the Card's pitchers and catcher can offer. Garagiola of the Cards rates as a futuure star, but as yet he is too inexperienced. Seminar Questionaires Members of the seminar committee for Religious Em phasis Week are passing out questionnaires to find out what topics students would be in terested in hearing discussed at seminars during Religious Emphasis Week, according to Martha Clark, chairman of the committee. Students are to fill ut the questionnaires and turn them in at the booth in the Union, the booth in So cial Science building, the YM, the YW, the Methodist Stu dent House, or the Presbyteri an Student House.
