(Continued from Iage 1.)
Scarlet five. George Thomas, 177
pound Sooner right half, scored
on a hand off from Mitchell over
the right guard. Automatic Les
Ming came in to kick the extra
point.
Oklahoma managed to keep the
Huskers in their own territory
during the "long" afternoon. The
Sooner line was giving Scarlet
backs little time to pass or kick.
Potsy Clark's eleven managed
to drive from behind their own
twenty yard line to their 39 where
once again Collopy was forced
to kick. Jack Mitchell took the
punt handed it off to George
Thomas who scampered to the
Nebraska 24 before Tom Novak
tackled.' A 15 yard penalty against
the Sooners was enough to stop
them as Mitchell tossed a shuttle
pass to Darrell Royal who did a
tight rope act along the side
lines for the score. Ming's place
ment cut the uprights to give the
Sooners a 14-0 edge.
Huskers Bog Down
Nebiaska started to roll when
Frank Collopy's pass to Bob
Schneider was ruled complete be

worked to the 39 yard line and
for awhile it look like the Husk
ers might go all the way. How
ever, a fumble in the Nebraska
field nullified the gain and Full
back Leon Heath recovered for
the Sooners with ten seconds left
in the half.
The Sooners continued their
wide open attack with Darrell
Royal passing to Frank Ander
son in the end zone for a touch
down. The pass play ate up about
40 yards and completely surprised
the Husker defenders. Only five
seconds had elapsed for the play
and there was just enough time
for a kickoff before the gun, end
ing the first half, sounded. The
Sooncrs led by a 21-7 score at
hall'time.
Oklahoma didn't watse much
time after intermission. They
marched from mid field to the Ne
braska eight yard line before a
fumble in the backfield gave the
ball to the Scarlet.
Collopy Rushed.
The Huskers tried several plays
but in desperation finally elected
to kick. Frank Collopy was rushed
so hard he barely had time to
punt. The Scottsbluff ace punted
out of bounds to the 17. Darrell
Royal wasted no time in hitting
paydirt. Les Ming came in for
the conversion but failed to make
the extra point. It was the fourth
time this season that Ming had
failed in an extra point ittempt.
Mitchell and company almost
had another touchdown when
Royal crossed the striped lines.
The play was called back because
The Sooner line was offside.
Nebiaska took over on the 22
where Collopy's kick was par
tially blocked. Leon Hearth
scampered to the one where Lin
dell Pearson chalked up the
marked. Ming's conversion was
good enough to give the Sonners
a 34-7 lead.

Large Squad
Ffosh Coach Tony Sharpe is
still "feeling out" his large cage
squad.
Despite the fact that one cut has
already been made, Coah Sharpe
is working with 54 candidates
daily. This situation has been
aided a little by the division of the
squad into two groups, which meet
at different times. -
No scrimmage sessions have
been held, and he practices are
mainly devoted to fundamental
dribbling and shooting exercises.
Coach Sharpe has stressed partic
ularly the three-man fast break up
and down the floor.

Coach Ed IVeir Named!
To Helms Grid Shrine
LA
The initial selection of out
standing coaches and players to
Helms Hall, the College Football
Hall of Fame, found the name
of a gridiron great known to all
Nebraska's on its roster.
Ed Weir, twice All-American
tackle, was named by a board
of seven sportswriters to a berth
in the newly established shrine.
Weir Top IMayer.
Weir, the present track coach
at NU, compiled one of the finest
records in foot
ball annals. A
member of Er
nest E. Bearg's
Co r n h u sker
elevens of
1923-24 and
'25, Ed Weir
was singled out
by Knute Roc
kne as one of
the greatest
players his No
tre Dame
teams ever Ed Weir,
faced. Nebraska's football ma
chines defeated the Fighting Irish
in 1923 and 1925, games in which
Weir competed against Roiknc
men.
Walter Camp placed Weir on
his 1924 All-Ameican team and
the following year, Grantland
Rice, who succeeded Camp after
the latter's death, named the
the Cornhusker tackle again. Weir
is the only NU gridder to achieve
this honor twice.
In addition to his outstanding
play at tackle, Weir also did the
kicking for the Hunkers. Against
Notre Dame's 1923 team Weir's
sensational punting played a
prominent role in the Scarlet win
over the Irish. Again in 1925
against the Irish, Captain Weir
kicked a 25-yard field goal to
help the Huskers to a convincing
17-0 victory over the highly-re-fnrded
Indiana eleven.
The Husker track coach also j
kickoff from behind his own end
zone to the 25 yard line. A screen
pass from Fischer to Collopy was
good to the 33. The Husker at
tack bogged down and Collopy
kicked to the 45. Claude Arnold
flipped to Ken Tipp to cover 20
yards and an Arnold to Frankie
Anderson pass was good to the
one foot line of Nebraska. An
derson was almost over but Tom
Novak knocked him out of bounds.
George. Brewer powerhoused
across for the score. Les Ming
converted the extra point.
The Huskers second touchdown
was a surprise to both teams. It
came in the early minutes of the
fourth quarter when Big Ralph
Damkroger stole Claude Arnold's
attempted handoff to Darrell
Royal. Big Ralph lumbered 25
yards for paydirt. Gerry Moore
hit the goal for the extra point.
During the remaining minutes
of the game the Huskers managed
to hold off the Sooner attack.
Coach Bud Wilkenson filled the
ranks with fourth and fifth stringers.

pretty fast company along with
Grange and Oosterbaan."

Hciss Winner
Of An College
Caw Tourney
Darrel Hciss, transfer student
from Wesleyan, was crowned as
the new Ag Free-throw champion
Thursday night, defeating Merle
Stalder in the finals. Stalder win
ner of the '46 tourned, had elim
inated defending champion Ed
Sautter in the quarterfinals.

In 40 years it v ill be your task to prov-e to your grandchildren that CRANNY WAS
NO ORDINARY COLLEGE GIRL. And any enterprising grandmother can point to this pie
ture with pride and say, "While I was in the C. II. office one day, Norm Case look thi:
shot." The grandcharses get, the implied idea. Granny gains two shares of slock and every
one thinks you are the gay girl with the hair on backwards.
The only prop necessary is a CORNHUSKER, so buy a CORNHUSKER.
'But hold on a minute. No need to look beyond the end of your nose for real CORN
HUSKER utility. Blind dates can be 78 less blind, if you jus! have a CORNHUSKER
handy to give the facts while you mull over ihe problem of acceptance in your mind.
The CORNHUSKER can he more reassuring on such occasions than all of vour friend,
so buy a CORNHUSKER.
And more to the point, you do not want to be one of the 800 graduates who write bick
every year to find out
if they can buy a back
issue of the CORN
HUSKER. The answei
unfortunately to these
former students is
"no," so don't you

mean to you later. Buj
