Friday, November I, 1945 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Page 3 trmiigs!; icrs Seed Loop r : 0 & Di Br George Whirling the crystal ball pro duced these predictions concern ing gridiron get togethers this Saturday: Nebraska vs Missouri One of these teams will fall from con sideration in the Big Six cham pionship race. Since both lost last week, it will be a meeting of two rebounding clubs, both troubled by sloppy line play in their most re cent starts. The game will be close, a tie is not improbable, but we like the Huskers because of the home field, Homecoming spirit, and a more diversified offense, mostly the latter. Iowa State at Kansas State The Cyclones have been burning all week because of criticism from alumni and students. With such motivation they ought to get by the scrappy 'Cats who will be pressing all the way. Oklahoma vs. Texas Christian There is no reason to go against a winning combination and the Sooners are certainly winners, as witness their 63-0 win last Satur day. The Horned Frogs will be a sturdy test but Jim Tatum has too much reserve strength. Kansas vs. Oklahoma A. & M. Still smarting from a topheavy de feat inflicted by Tulsa a week ago, the Jayhawks will be better against the Aggies, but not good enough. Bob Fenimore and friends will sport a weight advantage of 23.8 pounds per man, too much of an edge for the light weight Kan sans to overcome. Iowa vs. Illinois Despite the Illini win last week over the po- Tiro Mile Team ToMeetMizzou On Saturday Nebraska's two mile track team will have its second conference test Saturday at lla.m.atMemorial Stadium, when they face the Mis souri squad, apparently the strongest in the Big Six. Last week the Tigers beat the KU team 25-30, the low score winning. At that time, Kansas was using their second best runner, Earl Jones, who was injured be fore the Nebraska meet. Morrison Strengthens Squad The addition of Don Morrison is expected to bolster the Husker squad considerably. Morrison was conference two-mile champ in 1945. Besides Morrison, the squad includes Bob Ginn, Phil Myers, Harold Kopf, and Jim Martin. These boys are working towards the Kansas State race next Sat urday and the conference meet November 16 at Norman, Okla homa. That race will be held be tween halves of the Missouri Oklahoma grid battle. All in all, Coach Ed Weir is satisfied with his fall practices. He suspects there is still good tal ent in school that has not turned out. Scoring for the indoor con ference meet has been advanced to five places, and six places will be scored at the outdoor meet, so Weir needs quantity as well as quality on his squad. He points out that the team with the most third, fourth, fifth and sixth places usually wins the meet. Before the Homecoming Game LEE HANCOCK & ORCHESTRA Playing 9 to Midnite FRIDAY, NOV. 1 44c per person UNION BALLROOM OL D IT IE IT Miller tent Michigan eleven, the Hawk eyes get this vote. Dr. Eddie An derson has a good bunch of foot ball players assembled, and the Iowa line should be the differ ence between the two teams. Wisconsin vs. Purdue Although the Badgers have lost this one for the last three years, they should come through against the Boiler makers who have not been able to get up steam this season. Northwestern vs. Ohio State A victory is necessary if the Purple is to stay at the fop of the Big Nine. With such an incentive, in addition to a trio of sweet-running backs, the Wildcats look good from here. Michigan vs. Minnesota No Little Brown Jug for the Gophers this year. Michigan has too much of everything and Bernie Bier man's club will probably catch the full force of the Wolverine fury after the Illinois upset last week; Indiana vs. Pittsburgh T h e question here is not whether the Hoosiers will win, but rather, will they exceed the score they racked up against the Huskers. Notre Dame vs. Navy The once-proud Middies are far down in the common stock of football teams this year. The Irish are still on top and this game will do nothing to change the position of either team. Notre Dame easily. Army vs. West Virginia Every team gets a soft touch once in awhile and now it is the Cadets' turn. No hope for the Mountain eers. Alabama vs. Georgia Strike another name from the rapidly vanishing list of the unbeaten teams. Harry Gilmer and his mates have faced tougher opposi tion and this experience should enable them to edge the Bulldogs. Georgia Tech vs. Duke Wallace Wade's Blue Devils looked good against the Army last Saturday and on that basis they get the nod over the improving Engineers. Penn vs. Princeton T ouch downs have been the Quakers' stock in trade this year and they won't have too much trouble with the Princeton team. UCLA vs. St. Mary's One more win for the Bruins who get a rest from Pacific Coast loop competi tion this week. Herman Wede meyer will keep the Uclans on their toes however.

Hoping to shake sloppy line play, especially In offensive blocking, and the ever present pass defense weakness, Bernie has Juggled the Husker start ing lineup. Four and possibly five new faces will be seen at kickoff time on the Nebraska side of the field. Frannie Leik, Hastings veteran who scales 200 pounds and Gene Wilkins, Omaha 203 pounder, will probably get the nod at the start ing guard posts, while Lincoln's Gordie Hall is slated to begin the game at the right tackle slot. Callopy at Right Half Frank "Junior" Collopy bas Tigers Face Rough Road To Top Spot COLUMBIA, Mo. The Univer sity of Missouri coaching staff, a group of sadder but wiser men after the disheartening defeat at the hands of an opportunist Mus tang team from Southern Meth odist, realize that the hill is steep on the road to defend the totter ing Big Six crown that rests on their heads. Tiger Line Fails. The Tiger line which defended their own goal line brilliantly at times only to fail constantly on offense, will have to find a hid den spark and will to win in order to win any of their remaining games in the conference. This week's tussle with the capable Cornhuskers of Nebraska will be a toss-up, according to compara tive scores, but the Huskers will be the victors if the Tigers show no improvement over last week's lackadaisical performance. On the credit side of the ledger, it can be pointed out that "Nim ble Norval" Piepmeier, 306 pound behemoth tackle, and his 284 pound sidekick, Jumbo Jim Kek eris, turned in a very creditable performance on defense, but aside from that there were no bright spots no smiles just disappoint ment. In preparation for the Nebraska fray this Saturday, the squad will work only lightly, in order to guard against further injury or staleness. But there definitely will be hard work on the fundamen tals of the game. The game at Lin coln, in which both teams will be trying to rebound, should be a battle from the opening kickoff. h Sunday Monday ' Tuenday OUTSTANDING! A life time of love in one moment of blist!

The uncertainty exists at left end where Willard Bunker and Jack Hazen are waging a spirited battle for the starting nomination. Although the Missouri squad does not boast a passer of the Paul Christman caliber, the Ti gers have managed to outshine the Huskers through the air lanes. "In six games to date they have completed 28 of 77 passes for a percentage of .363 while limiting the opposition to 37 completions in 109 tries for a .339 rating. Nebraska, in the other hand. has connected on only 15 of 53 attempts for a percentage of .283 while allowing the other teams to compile a .534 completion mark.
