SAM ALSO KICKS THOSE EXTRA POINTS WHICH OFTEhl CINCH'.A CLOSE VICTORY Rules Changes Speed Up '46 Football The current grid season is un folding as a record-breaking year lor collegiate football, in terms of spectator attendance and populari ty as well as scoring. All over the country these au tumnal Saturday afternoons col lege towns are swarming with hosts of fans and alumni, whose appetites for real gridiron sport have been Tvhetted by four years of anemic footbalL Biggest Season Deceptive T formations and blends of the basic T with the single-wing attack, coupled with the return of the experienced GIs are giving the 1946 pigskin past time its biggest punch in years. To keep step with the acceler ated pace of the game, the na tion's football fathers have revised the official rules for the 1946 grid season. The official governing body for college football is the National Collegiate Athletic Asso ciation, whose football rules com mittee has made important new rulings this season. Of top importance is the rule allowing the ball to be centered directly to any.back, even though one of them, as the quarterback in the T, is within a yard of the scrimmage line. This year a team is allowed four timeouts in each half, but if the referee thinks that one team is trying to stall he may direct the timekeeper to stop or start the clock. Players no longer need to re poit to an official upon entering the game; the official now recog nizes the player as he comes out on the playing field. The laie numerals on the Husker jerseys is year are no wnim but the di ictlion of the rules committee that pkiycrs wear numbers eight inches high on the front of their jpix-ys and ten inchef high on the back. Pass or Fumble Rule - 1 t a viii-n a oacKwara pass or rumble goes out of bounds after opposing players touch it simul taneously, possession goes to the loam which made the pass or Jumble. r--1 i i . i nnouia a piayer receiving a kick illegally signal for a fair catch while the ball is in play, the ball is then given to the kicking team and a 15 yard penalty in voked against the receiving team. If a foul occurs after a punt has crossed the scrimmage line and before a member of the receiving squad has touched it, the ball is returned to the kicking team on the original scrimmage line, and the penalty is taken from that point. The new rulings make for speedier and more powerful of fensive play and require more vigorous defensive action, and the timeouts and player substitution revisions will speed up action of the game as a whole. The above rulings were taken from the 1946 official football guide of the N.C.A.A. Football (Continued from Page 1.) Hawkeye scoring threat soon after the kick-off. After a series of down the lowan's punted to Hutton who returned ot the Ne braska 40. A first down hnd moved the ball past midfield, Fischer fumbled and Tex Smith of Iowa recovered on the 49. In seven plays the home eleven moved to the Husker 14 while making two lirst downs. On the next play, Smith fumbled and Carl Samuelson recovered, but the Huskers breathing spell was brief as after two plays failed to gain Roy Long punted out of bounds on the Nebraska 32 and Iowa be gan to roll. Emlin Tunnell, the Hawkeyes' great Negro ' halfback, churned wide around right end for 8 yards. Tunnell again packed the leather and rolled to a first down on the 18 yard line. Ron Headington picked up 7 yards to the 11-line marker. Lou King's pass was in complete and then Tunnell went thru a beautiful bole in the cen ter of the line to score, making the count 7 to 6. Bob Sullivan's try for point hit one of the up rights and bounced thru to knot the score. Thirty seconds later the Hawk eyes scored again on a play that might well have broken the spirit of a stronger team than Ne braska. After Hutton had returned Headington's kickoff to the 15, Bill Moomey was tackled so hard that the ball squirted from his hands into the arms of Lou King ol Iowa on the 17 and the Iowan ran the distance to score standing up. Sullivan's try for point was good and the home eleven led, 14 to 7. Serious UN Threat. " The Huskers made one more se rious threat before the first half ended following Francis Leik's re- rivry of King's fumble on the Iowa 37. On the first play Jim Myers went all the way to the 3-yard line behind beautiful blocking before he was stopped and it looked as if Nebraska would score. On the next play the Huskers were off-side and moved back to the eight from where Pat Rooney lost another yard. After another five yard penalty for too many times out Vacanti's pass 'vas intercepted on the 10 by Headington who returned to Jhe 42. Iowa picked up first downs as they rolled to the Nebraska 42 as the half ended. The Huskers looked like they meant business as the final half opened. Hut ton ran back the kickoff 31 yards to the 41 of Nebraska as Iowa elected to kick with the wind. Eight plays brought three first downs and the ball on the Hawk- eyes 4. But the next series of downs failed to gain and the home team took over on the 20. The remainder of the period was played between the 30 yard m ar k e r s, with neither team threatening. The last quarter was a repeti tion of the second with bad breaks on both aides and the Hawks getting the edge. After a series of downs Bill Kay of Iowa broke thru to block Long's punt Coach Good Prepares To Cut Squad Basketball Coach Harry Good has announced he is just about ready to begin cutting his squad. In recent weeks Coach Good has run a series of seven tests .dealing with fundamental me chanics of the game. From these results he will do a large share of the cutting. Up to now he has given everyone out every chance to show his skill. The squad has been working mainly on getting into condition. ine anus nave included run ning, calisthenics, and volleyball, plus some basket shooting. "With the opening game with South Da kota less than eight weeks off, the coach feels he must reduce the squad rapidly so that he can do more work with those left There will be a "A" and a "B" team this year, with separate schedules for both. There has been some difficulty getting games for the "B's" in Nebraska, so they may have to go out of the state most of the time. Veterans Available. Mr. Good will probably build his squad around returning squad men from last year's teams and a few players from other com puses. Those now out from last year's squad include: Joe Brown, Tom Cook, Bob Korte, Gayle Leb sack, Dale Livingston, Jim Sand- stedt, Charles Mulvaney. and Milton Whitehead. Tranfers are Paul Dietrich from DePauw, Joe Loisel from Creigh ton, Bob Means from Army, Don Waite of Wyoming, Claude Ruth erford and Paul Shields of Indiana U., and Bill Saler from Indiana Central. Good intends to begin working his squad into the patterns he will use within the next two weeks He will-endeavor it use both the fast break and set styles of play liberally. The material available will decide which type the team will favor. and the home eleven took over on the Nebraska 19. Three plays moved the ball to Husker 10-yard line from where Joe Partington intercepted Sulli van's pass and ran back to the 37 from the 12. If Partington had been a little faster he would have been away for a score. On the next play Moomey fumbled and again it was King who recovered for the Hawks. After Curran gained five in two plunges King passed to Harold Shoener for a first down on the 23. Curran blasted to a first down on the 11 after Sulli van picked up three yards. Sulli van needed but two more plays to put the ball across after which he again kicked the extra point to make the score 21 to 7. Final U. N. Attempt. Nebraska's last threat canie in the fading minutes when Bob De viney recovered Smith's fumble on the Iowa S3. A.'ter Moomey picked up 8 yards on reverse Metheny passed . to Pesek who lateralled to Hutton for a first down on the Iowa. 24. After another pass failed to clk, Legg intercepted Metheny's pass and returned the ball to the Iowa 46 to pull the Hawks out of clanger. Statistics were fairly even for the two teams as far as' first downs were concerned but the Hawkeyes outgained the Huskers 270 to 150. In the passing de partment the home eleven proved superior as they completed 7 out of 16 while the Huskers only made 4 of 14 good. Iowa lost the ball four times on fumbles while Nebraska lost it on three occa sions. Lineup: Nebraska Pos.

A 90 yard touchdown run by Harvey Stroud provided the spark that exploded the Nebraska "B" team Friday afternoon as they ex tended their victory string to three with a 25 to 14 win over Kansas State. The game was marred by numerous fumbles caused by a wet field and a stiff north wind that numbed the play er's hands. The Wildcats drew first blood midway in the first period when they capitalized on a bad punt by Wally IIopp, which bounced back wards to the Husker 3-yard line. From there Del Ehret slanted off tackle for the counter and then kicked the extra point. On the following kickoff, Stroud gathered in the ball on his 10 yard line and behind beautiful blocking raced along the sidelines to put the Scarlet back into the ball game. Not a hand was layed on him as he outran several K. State players giving futile chase. Bob Harrington added the only extra point the Nubbins made all day. T Adams Runs. Soon after the start of the sec ond quarter, hard-running Dale Adams shook loose four would-be tacklers and went 40 yards to make the score 13 to 7 for Nebraska. The pass combination of Wie- gand to McWilliams accounted for the next touchdown a few mo ments later. From his 38-yard line, Wiegand unleashed a pass to Jim McWilliams who took the pigskin to the Kansas 5-yard line before being hauled down. When a line plunge failed to gain, Wie gand again tosed to McWilliams and the glue-fingered end grabbed the ball in the end zone for the third Husker tally. A recovered fumble and a pen alty on Nebraska for unnecessary roughness gave Kansas State an other score just before the half ended. Big Jim Stheley covered the final two yards to pay dirt and Ehret added his eighth point of the day. The second half, which was more of a slugging match than a football game, produced only one touchdown. Nebraska's Mickey Allen, who was easily the day's standout player, grabbed a State fumble in mid-air on the Wildcat 30, and from there a double reverse and a pass, this time from Wiegand to Allen, resulted in the score. K-State Threat. Two Kansas State threats were stopped in the fourth period be fore they could materialize into scores. Al Sheriff and Stehley drove to the Husker 4-yard marker, but on fourth down three red-shirted tacklers broke thru to spill the ball carrier on the 10. At the end of the game, the Wildcats were again deep down in Nebraska territory. Besides Allen, outstanding play ers for the Nubbins were Wie gand, whose passes usually were right in the receiver's arms, and Dale Adams, Randolph freshman. The hard running of Ehret and Stehley, plus the quarterbacking of Kay Cleavenger, were bright spots in the Kansas attack. Line ups: Kansas Slate B P09. Nebraska B Bogue le.... (GC) P.
