Tuesday, September 21, 1948 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN PAGE 3 Huskers Test Iowa State By Harold Abramson z Daily Krbrankan Sports Editor Nebraskan's opener with Iowa State is only one week away and the Cornhuskers will be trying tor their third successive win against the (Jyclones. ine lowa btate team was pastd 33-0 in 1946 and droppd their 1947 tilt by a 14-7 score. Looking back at past performances the Cyclones have managed to win only eight out of the iZ games played. The two teams tied 0-6 in 1911. The Iowa State opener should bring out the "Bugs" in the Husker grid machine. It will be Nebraska's first real test after weeks of preparation in practice sessions. Coach Abe Stuber will have a slight edge over Potsy Clark in proving what his team can and cannot do. His squad beat Iowa Teachers College 27-7 Saturday. Looking through the records we see that Oklahoma needs a win over Nebraska this year to match a Corn husker streak of six straight, compiled from 1931 through 1936. The Sooners are working on the longest streak of all-time against Nebraska five in a row from 1943 through 1947. Through 1942, Oklahoma owned only three wins and three ties in 22 outings. This gives Nebraska an all-time record of 16 won, eight, lost, and three tied. Comparing last year's grid squad with this season's we find that there have been fewer injuries and that the spirit which was so sadly lacking on the '47 team is much more evident this year. Coach Potsy Clark is an advocate of team, rather than individual play and he seems to be proving this with every passing day of scrimmage. Potsy has certainly convinced many of the onlookers at the daily practice sessions that a football team moves largely on spirit. We hope the toot ball team will be .able to prove it in the coming season. We like to remember what lt. Clark said early last spring: when he succeeded in organizing one of the largest and .most successful spring drills 'the Cornhuskers have ever held. According to the grid mentor the Huskers will not be playing to beat one team on the schedule but will be playing each opponent as they arise on the roster. He believes the squad can put over some surprises but also hopes fthat Nebraska followers will not become "too optimistic."

The standings now show an all-Boston series, but neither team is aeiinitely in. In the American league espe cially, the fight has been close and hard fought. Three teams are now separated by a margin of one game. oBston is leading with 11 games yet to play; Cleveland is only one-half game back with ten to play; while New York is a game out with 11 left. Cleveland holds the advantage in schedule as they wind up their season with lower division clubs. In the National, the Braves are in a commanding lead of six games, and need only to win seven of their remaining 12 to clinch the flag. The race for second is tight, with Brooklyn and St. Louis in a tie, and Pittsburgh trailing only two games back. An interesting fact about the race shows the American league's top trio monopolizing the leaders in home runs, batting averages, and RBIs. The Braves, however, have no representatives in these three important departments, showing instead, a well-rounded team. J.

Nebraska Iowa State 14-7 Illinois Kansas .... Ohio Slate Missouri 13-7 Santa Clara Oklahoma ColoraJo New Mexico.... All Big Seven conference mem bers will enter competition this week, but only Nebraska's game with Iowa State will have any bearing on the league race. The grid card will be completed with five outside games. Kansas travels to the Rocky Mountains to play Denver U., Kansas State goes to Illinois, Missouri meets Ohio State, Oklahoma will be at Santa Clara, and Colorado visits New Mexico. Iowa State will go into action Saturday as an underdog but the Cyclones will definitely be point ing for an upset over Coach Potsy Clark's Huskers. Coach Abe Stuber's Iowa Stat ers are seeking revenge for last year's game. Reason for such feeling is the 14-7 score Nebraska made at Ames last season. Stuber believes it was as much a "moral victory" as could be expected in being de feated. Iowa State had an edge in game statistics and held the Huskers without a single first down until the closing minutes of the game. The Cyclone game is a must for the Scarlet. They were one of the only two teams Nebraska beat last year. If the Huskers are to do better than they did in 1947 tney must repeat a win over Iowa State. Coach Potsy Clark is doing a good job of keeping his players' minds centered on the Iowa State game and not taking an easy vic tory for granted. Missouri's Tigers will know more about its chances for na tional ranking after they uncork their split-T formation. Because of their high pre-season rating the Tigers will go against Ohio State as an even choice. Kansas will tackle Denver U. under the lights at Denver Friday night. The Jayhawks managed a 9-0 score last year and may have a tough time doing it this time. Oklahoma will rate a slight edge when they travel west to play Santa Clara. The Sooners may be on a par with last year's team if their key sophomores live up to expectations. Colorado will be favored over New Mexico. Kansas State has little chance of breaking its losing streak as the Wildcats go against Illinois on the Big Nine team's home field.
