Tuesday, September 28, 1948 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN PAGE 3 BY HAROLD ABRAMSON. (Dally Nebraska!! Sport Editor.) The air was filled with expectancy before game time at last Saturday's football game in Memorial Stadium. There had been rumors that a ritt had been called in protest against the seating arrangements. Luckily nothing happened. A riot would have been the worst thing that could have happened m the stadium. Everyone knows that a mistake has been made in the athletic office. There are other ways, bsides rioting to "fix" what has been made wrong. Favors Boston. The American League pennant race is one of the closest scraps in the junior circuit for many years. With only five games left to play among the league leaders the race could turn into a three way tie with a play off necessary. We'll still side with the Boston Red Sox no matter what happens. Purdue or Minesota. This year could bring to an end the 19 game winning streak of Coach Frank Leahy's South Bend gridders. Pur due's Boilermakers were the first team since Great Lakes defeated the Irish 19 games ago to hold a lead over them. The Boilermakers were leading Leahy's players, 13-12 in the third quarter. Purdue could well be the Big Nine champions this year, but first they have to beat a hard fighting Minnesota squad which also has its sights on the Big Nine championship. Purdue and Minnesota will meet in Minneapolis Novem ber 6, in a game which could well be the deciding factor in the Big Nine championship. Justice Triumphs. North Carolina wasted no time in making its bid for a championship in the south this year. The Tar Heels scored three touchdowns the first four times they got their hands on the ball. Coach Carl Snavely's squad ripped Texas, 34-7. It evened the score for last year's game when the Tar Heels suffered a 34-0 defeat. Tailback Charley Justice threw two touchdown passes and engineered another which gives him a little tighter grasp on the All-American ladder. IM Touch Football Schedule Announced by Director Means Intramural touch football leagues got underway Monday afternoon, and will continue daily through November. Twenty-five fraternities have already entered and several more independent teams are expected to tile en tries before 5:00 Wednesday, Sep tember 29. Three fields have been pre pared for intramural use. Two games daily will be played at each of the following: the mall in front of the coliseum, the Ag College fields, and Peter Pan Park at 31st and W streets. The Lincoln Park Board has come to the rescue and will make there fields available throughout the season. They make possible a schedule of fall games that had been very doubtful with the loss of the old intramural fields near the Coliseum. The teams have been divided into four leagues. League One: Alpha Tuu Omega, Cornhusker Coop, Sigma Alpha Mu, Sigma Phi Epsilon, Sigma Chi, and Zcla Beta Tau. League Two: Delta Tau Delta, Beta Sigma Psi, Phi Delta Tlieta, Delta Sigma Phi, Pioneer Coop, and Phi Kappa Psi. League Three: Beta Theta Pi, Farm House, Alpha Gamma Rho, Brown Palace, Phi Gamma Delta, and Sigma Nu. League Four: Delta Upsilon, Delta Sigma Pi, Theta Xi, Alpha Sigma Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Tau Kappa Epsilon. and Kappa Sigma. - The first two weeks schedule: Kept. 2-. lCusl Mull, Hn;m Plil Kpsilon vs. Z B T.

Beta's Defeat Phi Gams in IM Inaugural Beta Theta Pi, Phi Gamma Delta, Alpha Tau Omega and Sigma Chis emerged victorious in the first round of the intramural touch football league, Monday afternoon. Beta Theta Pi smothered the Farm House players by a 18-0 count behind the fine playing of Roland Emmett, who snagged1 two touchdown passes. The Phi Gams started off on the right foot as they took a 1-0 vic tory over Alpha Gamma Rho. The Fijis had a total of more yards gained in the playoff period after the game ended in a scoreless tie. Sigma Chl's " Tom Donahue starred as he passed for three touchdowns to give his mates an 18 to 6 victory over the Sigma Alpha Mu team. The ATO's rocked the Corn husker Coop 19 to 0 to open their campaign. The brilliant pass com bination of Robinson and Ganz! featured the play. A pass interception gave the ATO's the ball on the Coop 30 yard line halfway through the first period.' Robinson passed to Brown for a first down on the 18. Rohinsnn ronnprted aenin with a pass to Jones on the 5. Two 1 passes failed, but then the Rob- inson-Ganz combination took over for a touchdown. Robinsow's pass for point was incomplete. A brilliant catch by Ganz of a Robinson pass gave the ATO's a first down on the Coop 20. The combination clicked again for a first down on the 5. Then, with less than a minute left in the half, Robinson found Ganz in the end zone for another six points. A pass for point failed, and the ATO's led at the half 12 to 0. In the second half the teams battled on even terms till late in the game. James' pass was intercepted by Denker who ran it back to the Coop 22. Dieter's pass to Denker was good for a first down on the 10. With only 20 seconds left, Robinson returned to the game, and passed to Jones for the third ATO touchdown. Rob inson passed to Bick for the point making the final total 19. The ATOs ran up seven first downs to two for the Coops .

Texas A.AM 28-14 Coach Potsy Clark's Huskers will have a tough obstacle thrown in their path this weekend when they face the mighty Gophers from Minnesota. Coach Bernie Bierman did a thorough job rebuilding the Gophers after the war and is now thought to have a team to match his great pre-war squads which won several national championships. Nebraska took its opening game from Iowa State Saturday and must now play a team which is generally rated as the favorite for the Big Nine title and a trip to the Rose Bowl. Minnesota line is generally accepted by coaches and fans as one of the finest in the nation. The Gopher line is heavy and fast. Leo Nomellini, 250 pound ju nior tackle, is probably one of best men on the Minnesota for ward wall. He was given con siderable mention as an All American last year and might well be the lineman of the year this season. Clay Tonncmaker, hard driv ing center, hits the scales at 225 and the other linemen keep the average well over 200 pounds. Even with second and third stringers on the field the line averages 220 pounds. Minnesota's backfield features speed rather than sheer power. With the speed and power Bier man has on the line he doesn't think it is necessary to have a heavy backfield. Billy Bye, Ev Faunce and Harry Elliott are senior runners with plenty of ability. Bye, a 175 pounder, figures to be a leading runner for the Gophers. Elliott has been mentioned for All-American honors this year. Nebraska's grid squad will leave for Minneapolis Thursday night and workout on the Min nesota field Friday. Team mem bers will stay over until Sun day afternoon. While the Huskers journey, to Minnesota, two other games will be played within the Big Seven Conference. First Loop Test. Colorado will have its first ma jor loop test against Kansas. Kansas State will attempt to break its 27 game losing streak against Iowa State. The Wildcats should find their opposition easier than in their debut against Il linois. The Coloradoans coached by Dana's- Ward will be underdogs against Kansas. Missouri will delay its con ference start, going against St. Louis U. Friday night in what should be only a tuneup for the strong Tigers. A CAMPUS COMPANION You'll use this briefbag all through college and be yond.
