The Nebraska Huskers will
have to face a "fighting' mad"
band of Cyclones from Iowa
State and the top passer and re
ceiver of the conference this
Saturday in the home ground
finale. A victory is necessary for
the Scarlet to keep in running
Xor the Big Seven championship.
They can tie for the title by
defeating Oklahoma in the last
game of the season, Nov. 25,

providing that both the Huskers
end Sooners win over dangerous
opponents this weekend.
While the Huskers will be op
posing Iowa State, the Sooners
will be host to the Missouri Ti
gers at Norman.
Everything to Gain
Both the Cyclones and the Ti
gers will throw everything they
possess in their Saturday battles.
They both have nothing to lose
and everything to gain.
For the Iowa Staters, it will
be passer Billy Weeks leading
the way. Weeks has been shin
ing for the past two years with
his brilliant passing, but has yet
a chance to demonstrate his
wares on the Cornhuskers.
Last year, the Cyclone-Husker
fray at Ames was played in a
perpetual downpour of rain, and
in a sea of mud which kept
passing down to a minimum. A
70-yard punt return by Husker
Harry Meginnis saved the day for
Nebraska that afternoon as the
Scarlet and Cream won, 7-0.
For the past three years, the
Cyclone faithful have claimed
that Nebraska has "lucked-out"
in their victories over the Iowans.
They say that "passing Willy"
will see to it that the Huskers
have no such luck this year.
Weeks to Doran
And Weeks is just that. He
could, and probably will, give
the Nebraskans a long afternoon
this Saturday. The conference's
leading pass catcher will also be
on hand to oppose the Huskers
and the Weeks to Jim Doran
combination is what the Husker
coaches are Betting out to stop.
Missouri climbed into third
place in the league standings
with their 21-19 win over Colo
rado last Saturday. The Tigers, a
prime favorite along with Okla
homa in pre-season, will be an
underdog to the Sooner although
the Missourians have been strik
ing a harder bargain every week.
J-M Volleyball
Thursday; 20
The intramural volleyball
playoffs get under way this
Thursday, Nov. 16, climaxing a
very short season. Twenty of the
35 teams participating in the
round robin play will go into
the playoffs seeking greater lau

Bierman Quits
As Head Coach
Of Minnesota
The "Goodbye Bernie" signs in
Minneapolis did their trick today
as Bernie Bierman, head coach
at the University of Minnesota
for 16 years, resigned his posi
tion. He asked to be relieved at the
end of the present season.
Bierman said he had had the
move in mind for some time and
that he felt this was as good a
time as any.
He said the move was not
prompted by the fact the current
Gopher team has failed to win a
game thus far this season. He
said that since World war II, the
coaching job had been particu
larly difficult.
Bierman's over-all coaching
record includes 162 victories, 57
defeats and 11 ties. In the 16
years he has coached at Minne
sota, his teams have won 92
games, lost 34 and tied six. They
were mythical national cham
pions according to the Associated
Press poll in 1936, 1940 and 1941.
No Plans
Bierman stated that he had no
plans for the future and that he
was not entertaining any offer
of a coaching job at this time.
Dana X. Bible, athletic director
of the University of Texas and
former Nebraska coach, declined
comment today when asked if
Bierman would be considered as
head football coach at his school.
Head Coach Blair Cherry will
retire as Texas University coach
after this season ends.
Bierman's action was an
nounced at a news conference in
the office of the Athletic Director
of MU who added that "Bierman
could stay on in the athletic de
partment in any capacity he
wishes" and "we hope he will
remain."
Bierman became bead football
coach at Minnesota in 1932 suc
ceeding Fritz Crisler and coming
Irom Tulane University.

Every time Oklahoma team
and Nebraska's Bobby Reynolds
take the field from now on they
are setting new records and each
time they are breaking their own
records.
Sooners Stretch Mark
The Sooners stretched their
modern victory streak for major
college to 28 games by beating
Kansas at Lawrence by 33-13
score.
Reynolds scored 23 points
against Kansas State and rolled
up 141 yards rushing. The points
brought Bobby's 'point total for
the year to 126 for seven games.
That eclipses the old league
mark of 121 by Missouri's Bob
Steuber in 12 games in 1942. The
141 yards brought his total land
efforts to 1151 yards by rushing.
That bettered Steube'r's total of
1098, also set in 1942.

Playoffs Start
Teams In
a poor early season showing.
All 20 teams will see action
Thursday in first round play and
then the playoff action will cease
until after Thanksgiving vaca
tion. Twelve teams will battle for
the All-Fraternity championship
in which four teams will get first
round byes. Four teams will tus
sle for the All-Denominational
championship and four outfits
will vye for the Independent
title.
All-U Title
After the three crowns have
been won, the Denom and In
dependent title-holders will tan
gle for the All-Unaffiliated
crown and that champion in turn
will face the Fraternity cham
pion for the All-University
championship.
The first rounds must be
played this Thursday so Wed
nesday night will be used as
"tie-breaking" night. All teams
that have any chance of finish
ing among the first four in their
league are asked to be ready to
play Wednesday night if they
should finish in a tie with any
other outfit in their league.
Leagues I, II, IV, and V could
very easily result in ties among
its members.
Only league III seems fairly
safe from ending the season with
tics. Team managers are urged
to keep close account of their
position in their respective
league and keep their outfits
available to play Wednesday.
The standings as of Saturday,
Nov. 11, are:

Bowling Leagues; Delts Hit
A newcomer is atop league I
standings in intramural bowling
this week, another newcomer has
climbed into a tie for first place
in league III, while the leaders
in leagues II and IV increased
their margin over the field.
Phi Gamma Delta and Sigma
Alpha Epsilon were the title as
pirants that made the biggest
climbs over the week of competi
tion. The Fijis took two of three
lines from Delta Tau Delta over
the week to hand the Delts their
first defeats of the year and also
to send them down to second
place in league I.
The Sig Alphs collected five
wins in six tries during the
week. They allowed Beta Sigma

Bob Reynolds
Leads Nation
In Scoring
Nebraska's Bobby Reynolds
appeared today to have a
stranglehold on college football's
1950 point scoring leadership.
The sophomore flash ran wild
in the Huskers' 49-21 rout of
Kansas State Saturday, scoring
three times and getting five con
versions to boost his pacemaking
point total to 126. That figure
and his 1,151 yards rushing con
stitute Big Six and Big Seven
records for a season.
Bobby now has 18 touchdowns
and 18 conversions in seven

games. And Nebraska still has
two games to go this season
Iowa State's this Saturday and
Oklahoma a week later.
Tied for second place behind
Reynolds are Bob Courtney of
Canterbury college (Indiana)
and Bob Miller of Emory and
Henry (Va.), each with 114
points. Courtney lost his tem
porary lead over Reynolds over
the weekend when he scored
only one TD and that was Can
terbury's season finale.
Johnny Bright, Drake's star,
scored four times Saturday in
beating Iowa State, 35-21, and
raised his point scoring total to
108, good enough for fourth
place. That was Drake's last
scheduled game of the season but
it enabled Bright to break the
record for total yards gained.
His 2,400 topped the old mark
of 2-187 set by Frankie Sinkwich
of Georgia eight years ago.

Meetings Set
For Interested
Independents
A special call is being made by
the intramural department this
week to contact all independent
men who would like to play
basketball in intramural compe
tition this winter, but who do
not have a team with which they
can play.
The 1-M Department is hold
ing two special meetings this
week, one on the city campus
and one at Ag College in an ef
fort to find out how many men
would like to participate in the
cage sport and also to help for
mulate some independent bas
ketball teams.
Thursday will be the meeting
night. The meeting on the city
campus is being held in the
Physical Education Building in
room 101 at 5 p.m. The meeting
on the Ag campus will be at 7
p.m. in the gym in the Ag Ac
tivities building.
All men who are interested to
any degree are urged to be at
one or both of the meetings to
get further information. If a lew
men would like to participate
together, the remainder of your
team could be found at or by
these meetings.
These will be the only meet
ings of this kind for basketball,
so everyone interested is asked
to attend.
Irish-Navy
Spl
it Hinted
The "Washington Evening Star ,
said today that Navy is ending
its football series with Notre
Dame afttr .24 years in which
they've won four games.
The Star said the Fighting
Irish, dropped by Army in 1947,
will not appear on Navy's 1951
schedule for the first time since
1927. It said that "indications
are that Navy will adopt a long
range policy of playing "moder
ate" schedules.
The Middies continually have
one of the roughest schedules
each year of any college football
team, very much so as compared
to the schedule of their arch
rival, Army. Army can boast of
defeating only one good team a
year while the Middies face ten
of the strongest in the nation.
In South Bend, Athletic Direc
tor Ed Krause said that the Irish
will play Navy in Cleveland,
Nov. 2, 1951. He attributed re
ports that the series might end
as untruthful rumors.
