nana, inomson was canea on to rill tne pivot slot against
the rough and rugged Oklahoma Sooners, conference co
champions. He handled the assignment in veteran style
until late in the contest when he was forced to retire
with a wrenched knee.
The accident put hi mon crutches and ended his
playing for the season. It also elminated him from the
UCLA trip. But worse than that, it cost him the neces
sary minutes he needed to earn a major letter.
Now the husky center, coming into his own as a
rock 'em, sock 'em linebacker, has had his sights for a
1947 N lowered. Monday night his playing days for the
current campaign came to an abrupt halt. Bobo fractured
his ankle during a practice skirmish with the Nubbins.
Bernie Bierman may be pointing to a Big Nine cham
pionship in the near future. The silver Fox roster includes
24 sophomores with three years of eligibility remaining.
Twenty-four lettermen also included in his roster don't
make his 1947 prospects exactly dull.
When the 1947 Iowa State band paraded out on the
gridiron during the half of the Colorado game, Director
Alvin R. Edgar broke with a long tradition. For the first
time, drum majorettes in brief costumes led the march
ing unit.
Leo Nomellinni, Minnesota righ guard, is called
"Giuseppe" for short, no doubt. The 238-pound sopho
more broke into the first football game he ever participated
in when he relieved Chuck Dellago after the latter broke
his leg on the first play against Nebraska last year. The
gargantuan lineman's .secret ambition is to play fullback.
While Ray Evans and his Kansas Javhawk teammates
haven't looked too impressive in their first two games of
the season, a check of the records reveals an interesting
teature. ne second edition of the Palominos (Jayhawk
forward wall) have limited both opponents to a net gain
rushing of 30 yards or barely three first downs. Texas
Christian slushed to a net of 53-while the Denver Pioneers
were sent in reverse for a net total of minus 23.
Iowa State tabs the Colorado Buffaloes,, new Big Six
conference member, as the cleanest college club they have
opposed.
Seven of the giants figuring in Line Coach George
Hauser's Minnesota forward wall have never played in an
intercollegiate contest.

"heta Xi, 6-0.
Phi Gamma Delta picked up a
2-0 forfeit victory for its second
win as Tau Kappa Epsilon failed
to appear.
The Lilies also chalked up a
mark in the win column in the
same manner when the Ricketeers
didn't show up.
"Peewee" Yambor's touchdown
sprint in the second half gave the
Field House a 6-0 verdict over
the Newman Club. Outplayed
most of the way, the winners
capitalized on their few oppor
tunities to tally and then held
Newman Club till the end.
Alpha Tau Omega edged Theta
Xi by the same count, 6-0. A
Gallup-to-Deeter pass connected
for the lone marker. Earlier, Bob
Berkshire snagged a short aerial
to put the ATO's into a scoring
position.

A "SHORT" STORY ,
AT MAG EE'S- by ARROW
Why do college men prefer Arrow cut-arid-sewn
shorts over all others? Easy! Because Arrow
shorts are the most comfortable on the market
can't creep up like an Indian, due to Arrow's
patented seamless crotch.
Come in and see Magee's stock of fine Arrow
shorts. Arrow "Guards" and Arrow undershirts.
