Karl Arndt, his cohort, and also ordinarily an Ec prof, sits on-stage thinking up further comments for
the auction crowd. The two professors donated their services Thursday to AUF as the second annual

70-Yord
pells Vieflwy
Special from Ames, la. Harry Meginnis outfoxed the
whole Iowa State team Saturday afternoon to score Ne
braska's only score and beat the Cyclones, 7-0.
After a first half in which the two very evenly matched
teams pushed each other up and down the field, the Oorn-
nusKers came PacK to score and
Meginnis, Lincoln scatback, took
over the role of injured Ron Clark
in the third period when he
grabbed an Iowa State punt and
scampered 70 yards to score.
He took the slippery ball,
dropped it, picked it up, juggled
it behind his back, and finally
stopped cold.
After shaking loose from the
grasp of Cyclone fullback, Bill
Chauncey, Meginnis feinted hi
way through the entire lineup of
player from the corn state and
ran down the west sidelines to
score. Rich Yost converted to
make the score 7-0 for the
Huskers.
The game was played in the
mud, making the ball slippery and
hard to handle. Neither team
could get its offense started and
the Cyclones' passing attack was
the big loser.
Iowa State, with sophomore
quarterback, Bill Weeks, doing the
passing, attempted 15 passes and
completed only three. Fran Nagle,
Husker ace thrower, chanced only
three heaves with ona completion
For Iowa State it was the fourth
year in a row that the Husker
jinx has held a spell over them.
Were it up to the Cyclone rooters
each game was just one of those
things. The boys from Ames have
come out ahead in statistics in the
last three games but the breaks
just went to Nebraska.
Saturday the Huskers were held
to only 88 yards rushing. They
racked up a total of just four first
downs and were on the defensive
most of the day.
Such things as a run like the
