A BY BILL MUNDELL Sports Editor. Daily Nebraska The Nebraska Cornhuskers were looking forward to their Homecoming contest with the University of Missoui this com ing Saturday with a tasty victory over Kansas under their belts." The Tigers, also victors last Saturday and in second place in the Big-Seven standings, are currently riding high. The Mis sourians toppled Oklahoma A&M Saturday by a 27-0 score. Their conference record to date shows one win and one tie, so the Cornhuskers will have the opportunity to hand the Tigers their first cor :eronce loss of the year. Their w.- was a 28-7 vic tory over Kansas State and the tie was a 20-20 affair with Iowa State. The Huskers advanced from sixth in the conference to fourth Saturday by virtue of their 33-26 win over Kansas University. At the same time the Jayhawkers were tumbling from first place to third with a 2-1 record. .500 Percent The Huskers climbed to a .600 percentage with a combined powerful ground and passing at tack at Kansas, along with some good defensive play in crucial moments. The passing of Fran Nagle and Bobby Reynolds appeared in prominence for the first time Saturday. The Huskers, using a potent ground game for most of we season, iouna me going a little easier in the air. Nagle tossed to two touch downs Saturday while his and Reynolds flips kept the Jay hawkers on their guard the whole game. Dick Regier took the first Na gle scoring toss in the second quarter of the game and chalked up the touchdown that put the Huskers in front for the first time during the hectic afternoon. Simon Terrific Frank Simon was on the scor ing end of the other touchdown Jiil with a beautiful leaping catch. From all reports, the catch by Simon was definitely one of the finest ever seen in the Kan fas htadium. This touchdown boosted the Husker total to 10 points with but a few moments remHining in the half and coup led with Reynolds' point after, j nit Uie Scarlet and Cream in the lewd for the rest of the after noon.

"Requests for seats in the Gator Bowl have been accelerat ing as the football season prog resses," McCarthy said. "Mean while, the Gator Bowl selection committee, headed by Edgar Jones, is meeting weekly to an alyze grid performances." Jones reported that his com mittee, consisting of W. E. Arn old and William D. Stark, Jr., and Arnold Finnefrock and Joe Livingston, sports editors of lo cal newspapers; have scanned all reports of football clashes over the country thus far this season. In their sessions, members of the group have eliminated and added names of college teams to a list of Gator Bowl potential contestants. Still high on the list, according to Jones, are Clemson, Duke, Georgia, Kentucky, Miami, Ten nessee, Wake Forest, Oklahoma, Vanderbilt, and Nebraska. "We aren't going to play sec ond fiddle to any of the major bowls," said Jones, "and we're going to go out of our way to see that the spectators at the sixth annual Gator Bowl game next January 1 watch one of the most colorful Fames in th nation " . riipi..., 1 1 i GEORGE PROCIIASKA . . . played a great game at de fensive end against Kansas. He was continually giving the KU backfield a hard time.

In this drive Adduci and Bill Mueller were the big ground gainers and came after the Jayhawks had roared to an early 12-0 lead. Adduci was a workhorse all afternoon and turned in a spark ling performance at fullback. His drives set up the last Ne braska score, pushing the ball to the KU four-yard line from Delts, Sig Eps Top Leagues Statistically Delta Tau Delta and Sigma Phi Epsilon are the top offensive and defensive intramural foot ball teams going into Monday's playoffs. The Delts have scored 111 points while the Sig Ep de fense has not yet been scored upon. Both teams have played six contests to date. In the averages, however, the Pbl Delta Theta "B" team ranks at the top. The Phi Delt Bees have competed in only five game and have scored 102 points for an average of 20.4 markers per contest. The Delt average is 18.S points per game. In the individual divisions the top offensive and defensive out fits going into the playoffs are as follows: The fraternity "A leaders are the same as the All-U leaders, Delta Tau Delta and Sigma Phi Epsilon. The Phi Delt Eees have 102 points in the fraternity "B" di vision and also are the top de fensive unit, allowing only seven points to their opponents. Presby House also holds down both leading positions in the In terdenominational division. The Presbys have scored 96 points and allowed their opponents but 13. in the Independent division the City YMCA leads the of fenses with 80 points while Sigma Gamma Epsilon is tops in defense with their opponents scoring only six markers. Most of the ranking outfits can still alter the point totals with 32 teams gaining the play offs.

He scored once and was consistent in his ground gaining. where Bobby Reynolds shot across for his touchdown. Hoy Scores The fourth Cornhusker touch down came from the NU defens ive platoon. Early in the third period the defensive ends, Pay nich and Prochaska, who had been rushing so great ell after noon, hit the KU quarterback before he could pass, the ball bounding out of his hands into the arms of Husker guard Rex Hoy. Hoy grabbed tight and set out for Kansas' goal and with good blocking, went all the way a 66 yard run. Nebraska's terrific left-half, Bobby Reynolds, was the main concern of the Kansans all af ternoon and concentrating on him they were vulnerable to at tacks by the rest of the Husker team. Quarterback Fran Nagle handled the team very fine in this situation, giving the Husk ers a .700 percentage for the year to date. TTi Sir J l-M Football Playoffs Begin Monday; Six Games On Tap Twelve fraternity "A" teams journey to the Ag College foot ball fields tonight to begin the intramural grid playoffs. Thirty two teams gained the playoffs and one-by-one, 31 of them will taste defeat, some of them maybe for the first time this year. Six championships will be doled out during the playoffs but a couple of the teams will grab more than one title. The fra ternity "A" crown will go to the survivor of the 16-team single elimination tourney; the fra ternity "B" title will be awarded the winner of the 8-team "B" tournament; the Interdenomina championship will be the reward of the winner of that four-team tourney; while a four-team tour ney will also decide the Inde pedendent champion. At this point in the competi tion the fraternity "B" champs will put away their footballs and admire their newly won trophy; they will not enter into the play offs for the All-University Cham pionship. The intramural depart ment, . deciding that . the "B" teams were in reality the fra ternity's , second string, ruled that those teams were not eligi ble for the All-U title. The other three champs will continue, however. The newly crowned Denom champion and Independent title holder will vie for the All-Unaffiliated Cham pionship. Then in the finale, the un affiliated champ will meet the fraternity "A" champ, the win ner being declared champion of the University, Every day except Thursday will see the teams in action this week.

E tfJ S Sooners in First Place Oklahoma climbed into sole possession of first place in the Big Seven conference Saturday with a 20-6 victory over stubborn Iowa State. The Sooner win coupled with Nebraska's 33-26 triumph over Kansas University enabled the Okies to become un disputed leader. Missouri moved into second place altho not engaged in con ference competition Saturday. They downed Oklahoma A&M by a 27 to 0 score last weekend. Nebraska climbed to fourth place while knocking the Jay hawks down to third. Iowa State continued in fifth place even tho losing to Okla homa. Colorado sits in sixth place. They journey outside the con ference Saturday and were tied 14-14 by Utah. Kansas State was idle Saturday. Seven Flight Winners Battle for Free-Throw Title Seven survivors remain in the All-University Free Throw tour ney out of a beginning entry list of 254. This was announced last Friday by th' University Physical Education Department. With match play completed in each of the eight leagues league VII did not have a winner-Sigma Phi Epsilon holds a seven point lead over Phi Kappa Psi in the race for the team trophy. The Sig Eps have 110 points as com pared to 103 for the Phi Psi's. In third place is Phi Delta Theta with 98 points. The Phi Delt total is final, as they qualified no men for the playoffs. The only other team which has an outside chance to beat the Sig Eps or the Phi Psi's out of the title is Sigma Alpha Epsilon with a team total of 80 points. How- noon. Monday will find the current leader in the football ratings, Sigma Phi Epsilon, and Theta Xi meeting in a feature battle. The Sig Eps are unbeaten and un scored upon in six games and rank as favorites, but they will have to be careful of the high scoring TX outfit. This feature will take plate on field 4. Phi Delta Favored Phi Delta Theta rank as slight favorite over a good Theta Chi team on field 6. The Phi Delts are a potent outfit but have tasted defeat on two occa sions, and a sharp passer was their downfall both times. The Theta Chi's boast of such a passer in John Futcher and this could be the game of the day. Field 3 will toss the Sigma Nu's against Sigma Alpha Mu in another potentially good game. Both are in the top-ten in their division and feature defense over offense. One touchdown here either way could take this one. The Nu's are favored. A very evenly matched pair will battle on field 1 when Phi Kappa Psi and Pioneer House take the field. Both teams have had their ups and downs this season and the game could go either way with the Phi Psi's getting a slight nod. Delts Strong Delta Tau Delta rates as least two touchdowns better than Cornhusker Co-op. The Delts are the highest scoring outfit in the university at present and the co-op boys do not appear able to slow them down too much. . The final game of the after noon taking place on field 9 will find Brown Palace as strong fa vorites over Tau Kappa Epsilon.

Sigma Phi Epsilon is. still perched atop the all-University football standings going into the playoffs. Altho idle during the week, the Sig Ep record could not be matched and their hold on the top rung could not be loosened. Teams below them rose and fell in the standings over the week s activity, but the lead ers held fast. The regulation play has now ended for the teams; all play has ended for 22 of the teams, but 32 outfits now turn their atten tion to the playoffs. Alpha Tau Omega jumped a peg over the week and going into the playoffs, holds down the number two spot in the Univer sity. The Taus added two more convincing victories to their string last week to run their record to 5-1. They crushed Sigma Alpha ' Epsilon by a 33 to 6 score and kept the same mar gin of victory in their 27 to 0 triumph over Kappa Sigma. Brown Palace took a big jump in the ratings. The Palacers, eighth last week, are occupying the third position in these stand ings. The co-op men copped two contests by six-point margins in competition last week. They downed Farm House 20-14, and stopped a high-flying band of Theta Xi's, 6-0. Delts I'pped Delta Tau Delta also climbed a considerable distance in the ratings, from seventh to fourth. The Delts accomplished this by merely remaining idle while the other teams were knocking themselves off. Another idle team over the ever, the Sig Alphs have quali fied two men for the playoffs. Other teams and their scores are Sigma Nu with 77; Sigma Chi, 55; Delta Upsilon, 41; Delta Tau Delta, 40; Farm House and Beta Theta Pi, 39: Alpha Tau Omega, 38; Theta Xi, 27; Corn husker Co-op, 26; Alpha Gamma Rho, 22; Sigma Alpha Mu, 14; I and Phi Gamma Delta with 13. Playoffs Begin The playoffs, which have al ready started, consist of three rounds of 50 throws each or a total of 150 throws. The player who has the highest total for the three rounds will become the the All-University champion. The seven men eligible for the playoffs are: Bill Alexander, Delta Upsilon, winner of League I; Don Sampson, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, winner. of League II; Carr Trumbull, Sigma Chi, win ner of League III; Dave Bran don, Sigma Phi Epsilon, winner of League IV; Dudley Saville, Phi Kappa Psi, winner of League V; Don Imig, Sigma Alpha Ep silon, winner of League VI; and Ronald Powers, Independent, winner of League VIII. Early first-round playoff re sults indicate the new All-University champion will have faced pretty rough competition on the way to the crowa. How are these for first-round playoff scores? Bill Alexander, DU, and Carr Trumbull, Sig Chi, have each made 48 out of 50. Don Sampson, Sig Alpha, is close be hind with 47 out of 50. So far these are the only three to have completed their first round. Scoring for the playoffs will ! be as follows: The winner of each of the three rounds of com petition will receive eight points, the second high scorer for each round will receive seven, and so on down to. the last place con testant who will receive two points, assuming that there are supposed to be eight players left in the meet.

About ten minutes'- before the closing bell, a young student wearing a fresh man cap burst In the door. "Arnie," he sobbed. "Arnie, come quick!" He was yelling at Arnie Stern, a student in the class, who quickly obeyed and accompanied the wailing freshman out the door.
