THE DAILY NEBRASKAN

BY HAROLD fiBRAMSON
After last Saturday's football
game we're very happy the Husk
er's home schedule is over.
Throwing -snowballs at the referee
and University of Missouri players
left a bad taste in our mouth. It
was certainly a shortsighted dis
play of sportsmanship on the part
ol Cornhusker fans.
Although we have to agree
that the referee's have not done
the best Job of policing the
gridiron we do think it is un
necessary to throw snowballs at
them. Let's hope that Big Seven
officialsdo something: about re
placing the present crop of ref
erees. Most of the games this
season have either been too long
because of the overzealousness
of the whistle tooters or obvi
ously fouls have been commit
ted with the ref not blinking an
eye.
Throwing snowballs at the Mis
souri team is another thing how
ever. It didn't leave a very good
impression of Husker fans with
the Missouri players. We suggest
substituting snowballs for louder
cheers.
Post season bowl fever is
slowly catching up with many
of the nation's top grid teams.
With Northwestern certain to be
the Big Nine candidate to the
Rose Bowl there is some doubt
whether California or Oregon
will oppose them. Oregon was
deefated by a mighty Michigan
in a non-conference clash but
holds a one game -edge over
California in Pacific Coast
standings. So we'll pick North
western over Oregon if the
coast team gets the nod.
Thp hich moeuls of the Sunar
Bowl at New Orleans are dicker
ing with Georgia (8-1), North
Carolina, Oklahoma (8-1), Tulane
(8-1), Mississippi (7-1), and
Clcmson. We favor an Oklahoma
North Carolina contest with Char
lie Justice not good enough to
stop Jack Mitchell and company.
If Georgia and Clemson
tangle in the Orange Bowl at
Miami a very wide edge will
have to be given to Georgia.
The Dullas Cotton Bowl should
see Southern Methodist against a
strong Michigan State squad.
Doak Walker's eleven will suc
cumb to a stronger State team.
Other teams which could re
ceive bowl bids are Penn. State,
Missouri, Georgia Tech, Oklahoma
A & M, Villinova, Vanderbilt,
Pittsburgh, Santa Clara and Tex
as. Dick Hutton gave a good ac
count of himself as he closed
his home appearance on the
Husker battleground. The Hus
ker flash ended his last season
of play before home fans by
scoring Nebraska's only marker
against the Missouri Tigers. His
touchdown was Mutton's fourth
of the season and gives him a
one touchdown margin over
Cletus Fischer and Phil Yonng.

Coach Bud Wilkinson's terrific
Oklahoma Sooners reign as the
Big Seven champs for 1948.
The Oklahomans blasted Kan
sas U, 60-7 at Lawrence Satur
day to clinch the crown with five
wins as against no losses. For
Kansas, the loss was their first
conference play and one of the
most humiliating ever suffered by
a Big Seven team in modern loop
activity.
Missouri moved into a second
place tie with the Jayhaks by
downing Nebraska, 33-6 at Lin
coln. Missouri's lone conference
setback also came at the hands
of the Sooners by a 41-7 count.
In nonconference battles Sat
urday the Big Seven teams fared
badly. The Oklahoma Aggies flat
tened hapless Kansas State, 42-8,
at Stillwater. The Aggies, .Mis
souri Valley kings, had no trouble
with the Wildcats and scored as
they pleased.
Iowa State's Cyclones dropped
a 14-6 tilt to Arizona University
at Tuscon and an underdog Colo
rado A. & M. eleven edged Colo
rado University, 29-25 at Boulder.
Quarterback Bob Hainlen of the
winners booted three field goals
to provide the victory margin.

Nebraska Cagcrs
To Work During
Turkey Holidays
Two practices daily will be the
menu for Husker cagers during
the Thanksgiving holidays. Fif
teen varsity cagers will remain
to workout.
Coach Good announced Mon
day that morning and afternoon
practices will be held Thursday
and Friday. The practices will
be attended by Lincoln men and
those not planning to go home
during vacation. Saturday the
boys will put on a clinic in Omaha
which will be held in the Tech
High Gym. Coach Good will run
them through various practice
formations and will hold a game
scrimmage Saturday evening.
Good intends to stress out of
bounds and center tip plays this
week along with set offensive
formations and fast breaks. As
the opening game is a week from
Wednesday the cagers will be
bearing down this week to be
in top condition for the season
starter.
Frosh Coach Tony Sharpe will
hold only two workouts this week,
as most of the freshmen will be
going home Wednesday.

Don Schneider scored twice for
the red-shirted varsity. The first
touchdown came in the early min
utes of the scrimmage. His second
run for paydirt came after Walt
Spellman took a partially blocked
frosh punt to the 17 yard line.
Gerald Ferguson carried around
the right end to the five and
Schneider took two tries before
he cracked the frosh line to score.
Fergie Scores
The varsity's other touchdown
came when Ferguson intercepted
a frosh pass on the 28 yard line
and went the distance behind
some good interference.

Stiner Former Husker
The Huskers entrain for the
long trip to Portland, Oregon, this
week where they meet Lonnie
Stiner's Oregon Staters. Stiner
was captain of the 1925 Corn
huskers. If Nebraska loses next Saturday
it will mark the first time any
Husker football team has ever lost
eight games. So far the Scarlet
has a 2-7 record in the won and
lost column and have been out
scored by a 245 to 125 margin.
Cletus Fischer, St. Edward half
back, will captain the squad
against Oregon State.
