amount of grief which pre-game
dope had predicted they possessed.
Pistol Pete Pihos, reportedly
hobbled with injuries, turned in
a great performance as he ripped
through the Husker line, halted
bcarlet ball carriers and even
tossed a few passes.
Time and again the Nebraska
speed boys, Dick Hutton, Bill
Moomey and Jim Myers, tried to
skirt the Indiana ends, reportedly
week in earlier tilts. But some
thing had happened. Lou Mihajlo
vich, Abe Addams, Frank Hoppe
and Bill Mitchell, the Hoosier
ends, were not to be turned and
usually the Husker ball carriers
ended their jaunt by being pushed
out of bounds.
Nebraska was unable to make
much progress through the tough
Indiana line and as a result the
Husker offense suffered.
The initial period was score
less, although the visitors threat
ened several times. Near the close
of the quarter Nebraska took the
ball on downs on the six yard line
after a Raimondi pass was in
complete and a Hoosier threat
ended.
A 70-yard scoring drive
netted the Big Nine outfit its
first touchdown. Beginning on
their own 30 after a Husker
drive had stalled, Raimondi
passed and Groomes and Gross
man ran to bring the ball to the
Nebraska 22. At this point Rai
mondi whipped a pass to his
favorite target, End Lou Mihaj
lovich, who took the ball for a
tally. Charley Armstrong was
successful on his place kick for
the extra point and Indiana led
7-0 with six minutes gone in
the second quarter.
Three minutes later the Hoos
iers brought forth one of McMil
lin's prize maneuvers. Bob Cowan
took a direct pass from center,
handed the ball to Dewar who
had faded back from a position
with his back to the line, and then
Dewar flipped a lateral to Rai
mondi who was running wide.
Benny got and hit Fullback Pete
Pihos with a perfect pass as the
hulking Hoosier stood unnoticed
near the east sideline. Pihos
ambled across without being
bothered to culminate a play
which covered 40 yards.
Once again Armstrong was on
the beam with his attempt for the
extra point and the teams left the
field at halftime with Indiana
holding a 14 point advantage.
Metheney Alert
Quarterback Fred Metheny set
up the lone Scarlet score by re
covering Mihajlovich's fumble on
the Indiana 17 yard line. Hutton
and Novak brought the ball to
the 10 and Novak rammed to the
7 for a first down.
Two more Novak plunges netted
a yard and Masterson sent Va
cant! and Nyden into the lineup.
On the first play following their
presence on the field, the pair col
laborated for the score.
:For the rest ol lHe; fhlrd:qu'ar-",
ter the Hoosiers seemed content
to stay on the ground, but just
as soon as the fourth stanza be
gan Raimondi unlimbered his
passing arm and the Blooming-
ton bunch began to move.
The Hoosiers moved steadily
down the gridiron from their own
35 where Roy Long's punt had
gone out of bounds.
A screen pass from Raimondi
to Dick Deranek who stood be
hind a shield of blockers pro
duced the tally as the Hoosier
fcalwback romped over the goal
withovt being touched by a Ne
braska man. Four blockers
maved ahead of the ball carrier
aaw qaickly erased the only
Husker who challenged his pro-
This time Armstrong's kick was
partially blocked and did not
reach the uprights.
Mel Groomes showed why he
was the best defensive back in
the Big Nine last year as he inter
cepted a Vacanti pass on the Ne
braska 40 and returned the ball
to the 17. where Vacanti knocked
him out of bounds.
- Final Counter
It took just two plays to pro
duce a counter, Raimondi passing
to Deranek on the 10 and Dick
grinding over the double stripe.
Again Armstrong added the extra
point.
The Indiana line played mag
nificent ball, limiting the usually
potent Nebraska ground game to
gain of 61 yards. Passes were
good for only 7 yards, the Scarlet
finishing the afternoon with a

ToRelayWin
In a halftime mile relay race
the Red team composed of Jack
Wells, Bill Connor, Fritz Ware
and Dick Young nosed out the
Orange quartet by a scant two
yards.
Track Coach Ed Weir sched
uled the race to give some of his
quarter-milcrs a chance to show
their" wares and the eight quar-ter-milers
came through with
some fine performances.
Dick Young, anchor man on the
winning team, turned in the best
time, touring the cinder track In

ferson, la., and competed for Iowa
State and Illinois during his time
in the navy.
Members of the losing Orange
squad were Don Vollertsen, Bill
Moorhouse, Loyal Hurlbert and
Harold Kopf.
The Orange team led until the
final lap after Fritz Ware had
closed ground in the stretch dur
ing his 440 leg.

ARROW SPORTS SHIRTS-
MANHATTAN, Kas. (Special)
The University of Nebraska's
B team hopes for a perfect sea
son received a stiff jolt Friday
night when the Kansas State
Wildcats held them to a 14-14 tie
at Manhattan. The game was a
return engagement beween the
two teams and attracted a crowd
of 2,500 fans.
It was the stellar play of Jim
Stehley and Del Ehret, who
again proved to be the thorns
in the side of the Huskers, that
brought abcut the tie.
In an otherwise listless and
loosely played game, the two
hard-running K State backs con
tinually kept the Huskers in hot
water, and it was only on the
strength of a second period safety
that Nebraska was able to salvage
a tie.
Wildcats Score First
Stehley opened the scoring in
the second quarter after a long
pass had put the Wildcats in Ne
braska territory. Ehret, who
kicked both extra points in the
first game, booted his third extra
point try against the Nbbins.
Nebraska roared back in the
second quarter when Bob
Schneider, Nebraska City end, in
tercepted a pass and rambled 30
yards to paydirt. The try for the
tying point was no good.
Nebraska managed to leave
the field at half-time with an
1-7 lead thanks to some alert
playing by Keith Manning, Jim
MeWUiiauts ' and Jack Erans.
These three smothered Wildcat
Bill Stewart in his end tone
as he tried to ran the ball out
of danger.
The Nbbins jumped "to a 14-7
lead in the third quarter when
Bob Ackerman, outstanding fresh
man halfback, scored from ten
yards out. Again the try for extra
point was not good.
Poor Defense
Poor pass defense cost the Ne
braskan's a chance for victory.
In the final period another long
pass put the home team deep in
their opponents territory and
Stehley again punched over six
points. Ehret calmly put the ball
between the uprights for the tying
point.
Faulty ball handling by the
Wildcats contributed greatly to the
Nubbins' cause, while Nebraska's
T-formation lacked the smooth
co-ordination that has been ap
parent in earlier games. Lineups:
