Latest statistics from the Big
Six football bureau in Kansas City
show that Nebraska's Dick Hutton
ranks sixth among the conference
eround eainers in yards gained
The Auburn speedster has covered
103 yards in 14 attempts for an av
erase of 7.7 vards per try.
Since the Huskers have played
only two games, Hutton's mark
deserves recognition. .The con
ference leader. Bob Hopkins of
Missouri, has run up a total of
172 yards in 23 attempts for an
average of 7.4 yards. .However
Hopkins has had three games In
whic to build up his leadership
which is based solely on yards
gained.
Further perusal of pigskin sta
tistics shows that the Huskers
have gained a total of 409 yards
in two games, while opponents
have gathered 369. The majority
of the Nebraska total came on
the ground, for Bernie Masterson's
warriors have moved Job yaras
by rushing and only 71 yards by
passing.
Here in black and white are
the reasons why the Scarlet squad
works overtime on pass defense,
Minnesota and Kansas State have
picked up 187 yards via airlanes
completing 19 of 35 passes for an
average of .545. Nebraska's com
pletion average is .272.
In the individual passing dc
partment two Kansas University
aerial experts top the list. First
is Quarterback Red Hogan, who
has completed 11 of 24 attempts
for a total of 229 yards, and sec
ond is the much-heralded Ray
Evans with a mark of four com
pletions out of seven attempts
tor a total of 105 yards. Again
total yards on passes is the de
termining factor in the ratings.
Since Hogan is lost for the sea
son because of a broken leg, the
wailing and weeping of Jayhawk
Coach George Sauer is not bard to
understand.
With two KU passers at the
head of the Big Six tossers, Otto
Schnellbacher is far ahead of all
other pass receivers, having
grabbed eight passes for 193
yards. Evans is second with three
catches for 107 yards.
Nebraska's passers rank far
down the list, altho Sam Vacanti
merits eighth place on the strength
of one completed pass. This of
course was the 55-yard aerial
which he lofted to Dick Hutton
for Nebraska's third touchdown
against Kansas State.
Fred Methenv is ninth with 53
Iowa State Team
Seeks to Regain
Form for Kansas
AMES, Iowa. The Iowa State
team which "looked worse win
ning than it did losing" must re
gain the edge it lost last week
if it is to stay in the game with
powerful Kansas here this week
end. That seems to be the top
problem fared by Coach Mike
Mi"lalske and his staff as the
Cyclones prepare to face unde
feated Kansas here before a
Tavpnts' Day crowd expected to
hit tlie 14,000 figure. At North
western a week earlier Iowa
State had shown its best of
fensive and defensive form of
the season and still had dropped
a 41 to 9 decision to the Wild
cats. Against Iowa Teachers the Cy
clones, except for the first 12
minutes of the second half, bore
little resemblance to the team
which had played so well at
Evanston. The smaller Panthers
tore the defense to shreds and
scored three first haif touchdowns
and then blocked every scoring
effort after the third quarter until
the game winning pass connected
25 seconds before the final gun.

Four Cagers

ith 35 Goals
Four men racked up the high
score of thirty-five out of a pos
sible forty free throws in the
qualifying rounds to open the an
nual all-university free throw
basketball contest on Monday and
Tuesday. The four men tied for
top honors were John Cady, Phi
Delta Theta, Robert Robison, Wil
liam Denker, and Paul Shields, all
independents.
A total of two hundred and
eleven men took part in the qual
ifying round, which was run off
in two sections, one for organized
fraternities on the campus and
another for independents.
Two Separate Meets.
Of the one hundred and fifty-
two fraternity men competing, the
thirty-two high scorers began
match play yesterday afternoon,
while at the same time the sixteen
high point men began bombarding
the hoop in the independent tourney.
Tomorrow afternoon's final
round will produce the two indi
vidual champions, who will clash
for the all-tourney title. A total
of forty shots is taken by each
of the contestants, alternating
five at a time.
The point system is organized
so that the fraternity producing
the individual champion will gar
ner six points toward winning the
tournament. The second place
man will contribute four points
to his fraternity, third place gives
three points and fourth place
scores two points. The four men
losing in the quarterfinals re
ceive one and a half points and
the eight second round losers get
one point to contribute to the
totals of their respective groups.
130 Points for Winner.
When the final results are
chalked up, the winning frater
nity will receive a hundred and
thirty points for the Jack Best
trophy, while the next five places
merit 105, 85. 70, 55 and 40 points
respectively. Each fraternity hav
ing a total of five men participat
ing will also receive thirty points.

Two evenly matched teams pro
vided a close game in the in
tcamural touch football league
Tuesday, when Sigma Alpha Ep-
silon managed to beat Com
husker Co-op, 6-0. Both teams
battled on even terms throughout
the game. Just before the half,
the Sig Eps worked a sleeper
play which caught the Co-ops off
guard. Gerry was the man who
hid out near the sideline and
scored the lone tally when he took
a pass in the end zone.
AG It's Triumph.
Alpha Gamma Rho showed
power in beating Pioneer Co-op,
20-0. Anderson scored twice to
lead the winners. Sigma Chi
proved they are still the team to
beat in League III, as they downed
the second-place Farm House
team, 20-6. However, it was the
first time the Sigma Chi team has
been scored on this far. Phil Ly
ness scored for Farm House,
while Sigma Chi was led by Niet
felt who had two touchdowns to
his credit.
Al Thompson led Beta Theta Pi
to a 7-0 win over Sigma Alpha
Mu, which moves the Beta team
to second place in League, II.

Track Coach Ed Weir Asks
All Cindermen to Turn Out
Track Coach Ed Weir has an
nounced the dates for the running
of the two-mile team races. All
the cross country runs will take
place on the same date and loca
tion as the Big Six football games
On Oct. 19, the runners will travel
to Lawrence to engage the KU two
milers. Lincoln will be the scene
of the next two races, those with
Missouri and Iowa State. The
dates are Nov. 2 and Nov. 16.
The scoring for the races will
be somewhat like scoring golf in
that the low total wins. Each
team has five runners with first
place getting 1 point and last place
receiving 10 points.
The conference two mile cham
pionship has been tentatively
scheduled at Norman, Okla., on
Nov. 23, the day of the UN-Sooner
football game.
GIs Turn Out.
Coach Weir would like to see
the returning GI trackmen out as
soon as possible. He believes that
it takes at least one semester of
practice to get th old muscles in
working condition after a long
layoff. Coaches have a definite
check on any man's progress in
the stop watch and the tape meas
ure. These two things never
change. For this reason, many vets
are discouraged at the very outset
They should know that it takes at
least four months to get back in
the groove.
The big name on the roster is,
of course, Bobby Ginrt, the fall two
mile champ of 1940 and 1941. He
returned from the service last
February and found it took more
than one semester to get into con
dition. Mr. Weir says he should
be in pre-war form by the end of
the semester.
The rest of the team is made
up mostly of middle distance run
ners who are taking fall work to
get into better condition for the
indoor and outdoor seasons.
To quote Mr. Weir:
"I still believe that there is a
lot of talent in school that could

"One thing about track; it be
ing an individual sport, a boy can
come out any hour of the after
noon to get in his practice and still
not hinder the team's progress,
which is not true of such sports
as football and basketball."
Coach Weir is anxious to get his
two mile team going well because
he feels Nebraska has lagged be
hind .too much in this specialty.
Teams like Oklahoma, Kansas
State, and Iowa State have pushed
the run and it has paid off well
for them. They have consistently
come up with good distance run
ners. The coach feels that with this
one semester of work under their
belts, his runners will be ready for
conference competition in January.
