spitting distance of the Cyclone
goal. .
The first quarter was only 45
seconds from completion when
Metheny crossed the double stripe
for the initial Nebraska counter,
carrying the ball from the one
and one-half yard line.
Vern Stiner cave the Huskers
the opportunity when he blocked
Ron Norman's punt on the Cy
clone 38. Wally Ilopp fell on the
ball on the 44, and the Nebraska
outfit moved down the field with
out interruption. A pass from Me
theny to llutton which ate up 14
yards was the big (tain in the ad
vance which saw Moomey, Ilopp
and llutton alternate at battering
the Cyclone defense.
Sam Vacanti's kick was no good
and Nebraska sported a six point
edge at the' close of the first pe
riod. A fumble recovery and a pass
interception set up. the Huskers'
second quarter markers. End Wil
lard Bunker was too quick for the
Iowa State backs as he broke
through from his defensive posi
tion to fall on a lateral which Don
Laun dropped after Ron Norman
had lobbed the ball to him. This
recovery occurred on the 4 yard
line and three plays later Jim
Myers blasted off left tackle for
the touchdown.
This time Vacanti was success
ful with his placement attempt
which boosted the score to 13 with
three minutes gone in the second
quarter.
Pass Interception.
Gerry Moore, appearing for
mere than a brief stay for the
first time in several weeks, swiped
a Norman pass on the Iowa State
28 to give the Scarlet footballers
another shot at paydirt.
Alter the ball was moved to the
4, Vacanti entered the game and
on the scond play after his ar
rival, Sam found Alex Cochrane
alone in the end zone with a scor
ing pass. The kick was no good
and the Huskers had just enough
time left to kick off before the
half ended.
Iowa State was at its best in
the third quarter as Norman di
rected an advance from the 20
yard line to the Nebraska 40 be
fore a fumble on an attemnted
pass gave the Huskers the ball.
Before this spurt the well-rested
Nebraskans, making their first
start since November 2, had added
another touchdown largely
through the efforts of Bill Moo
mey. The speedy York halfback had
skidded through the Iowa State
line and broke loose for 61 yards
before Ray DeEfecker ended the
jaunt on the 5. Two lunges by
Myers moved the ball to the one
foot line and from here Metheny
tallied on a quarterback sneak.
Vacanti's kick was no good.
Two sustained Husker drives
produced only one touchdown in
the fourth quarter, as the Cy
clones held for downs on their
8 yard stripe early in the period.
Fat Rooney, Roy Long and
Gerry Moore were doing most of
the work in the closing drive
which ended when Quarterback
Dick Thompson snapped a flat
pass to Roy Long who circled the
Cyclone left end to score from the
3 yard line.
This time it was Moore who
contributed the extra point to
close the scoring for the. after
noon. Fine Punting.
In sharp contrast to earlier
games, the Nebraska punting was
fine. Jim Myers put the Iowans
in a hole early in the second
quarter with a 65 yard quick kick
which rolled dead on the Cyclone
13. He averaged 51 yards on three
boots while Roy Long kicked
twice and had a 43 yard average.
Nebraska opened the game with
a march from their own 30 to the
Iowa State 14 before the Ames
players could get their defense
.set, to indicate the trend of things
to come.
Game Captain tyilkins. Center
Jot Partington and End Bunker
played bang-up defensive ball for
the Huskers and the entire line
was able to open gaps in the Cy
clone forward wall to enable the
speedy back to get moving.
Chauncel and Norman were
the mainstays for Iowa State,
akng with Fred Schneider and
Don Seibold
Husker second stringers got
Plenty of action, and End Jim
McWilliams, who moved up to the
varsity from the Nubbins late this
week, was a pleasant surprise.
Two rough opponents are left
on the Nebraska schedule, as the
Huskers travel to Oklahoma for a
crucial Big Six tilt next week and
then keep on going to the coast
for the final game of the cam
paign with UCLA. Lineups:

YW Sponsors
Social Work
At Hospital
Supervising recreation for pa
tients at the State Hospital
one of the projects chosen by
several members of an advanced
social work group of the YWCA
State appropriations for the
hospital are not sufficient to hire
the trained help necessary to su
pervise occupational therapy for
men. There are very few male
occupational therapists, and Ne
braska is not able to pay high
enough salaries to draw them
here.
Recerational facilities at the
hospital consist of three ping-
pong tables, two modem pool
tables, a shuffleboard court, duck
pins, a piano and other table
games. All this equipment has
not been used for several months
because the. hospital staff is not
adequate to take care of recrea
tion. Recreational therapists need
no special training, however, and
the work can well be handled
by students such as those assist
ing under the YW program.
Idle Patients.
Last Thursday when patients
were taken to the recreation hall,
the assistants walked into the
sun room of one of the wards
where approximately twenty men
were sitting in chairs placed
around the walls. Just sitting.
The faces of these patients lighted
up when they saw the girls wbo
were to help entertain them for
the afternoon, and those chosen by
the ward supervisor to go to the
recreation rooms were anxious to
go on their way. As the chosen
patients left, one of the men said
wistfully, "I wish we could get
out doors more often.'
Mental Condition.
Although all of the men seemed
to enjoy the various games, some
were proficient while others
lacked co-ordination. Nurses re
ported that this is indicadtive
of the condition of their minds.
One little old man sat down
at the piano immediately and did
not leave it all afternoon. He
played old-time songs such as
"Dark Town Strutters Ball."
When it came time for the
volunteer workers to leave, pa
tients were anxious to know when
they would return. i
Eight Matmen
Join Scarlet
Wrestle Squad
With a .week of conditioning
under their belts, Coach Jerry
Adam's wrestlers are beginning to
shape up. Eight new men were
added to the squad during the
past week and it has prospects of
growing even larger.
Warren Jaffrey, letter winner at
Northwestern and undefeated .In
Big Ten competition will apply his
talents in the 128 or 136 pound
division. Mort Tracktenbarg and
Jack Tilton, both former pre
flight men have checked out
equipment and are working out.
Mike Ueoka from Hawaii, a
1941 squad member, is leveling
his sights on the 121 pound posi
tion. Other bonebenders added to
the squad the past week include
Howard Crom from Wheaten Col
lege, Marlen Watt, Harvey West,
and Andy Marinkovich from
Omaha South.
Sixty Entries.
Sixty entries have been re
ceived for the all-university
wrestling tournament, which is
less than three weeks distant.
Coach Adam is hoping that this
figure will at least double be
cause this tournament will serve
as a yard stick to measure the
abilities of the aspirants as well
as to determine his squad mem
ber in the future. Many positions
on the team are wide open and
those who are interested should
report to Adam as soon as pos
sible.
Rain Brings Halt
To Frosh-Nubbiiis
Grid Encounter
A slow, soaking drizzle caused
cancellation of Friday's scheduled
game between the Nebraska B
team and the freshman.
The fray was to be a return
engagement between the two
teams, and was to serve as a
warmup for the Nubbins before
they close their season next Fri
day at Midland College.
Due to the numerous injuries on
the varsity squad, Bernie Master-
son has elevated several of the
Nubbins to the first team in an
effort to strengthen the weakened
positions.
Jerry Jacupke, Fremont guard
who started the season on the
varsity team, Oscar Mussman,
elongated tackle, Ralph Dam
kroger, Scottsbluff end, were in
suit for the Iowa State game Saturday.
