FRAN NAGLE The Huskcr's All-Big Seven quarterback will
play two more football games before his collegiate playing career
is ended. He'll be quarterback on the West team in the East
West Shrine game at San Francisco December 30, then will hurry
to Mobile, Ala., for the Senior Bowl game, January 6. Nagle, the
West Lynn, Mass. lad, never played a single game of high school
football. He went to Ft. Devens as a basketball and baseball
prospect. Husker backfield coach Bob Davis was the Ft. Devens
mentor, and was the first to recognize Fran's ability with a foot
ball. Nagle saw limited duty at Fort Devens as a freshman. He
improved as a sophomore, then moved with Coach Davis to Ne
braska. Last year he started to show promise. This season he
came into his own as signal-caller for one of the most-powerful
ground-gaining teams in 1950 collegiate ball. All Cornhusker
football followers will agree that it's a fine tribute to a great guy
that Fran Nagle should be selected to represent Nebraska in two
of the country's biggest bowl games.

Cyclone Cagers
Face Problems
Iowa State college basketball
players will have three imme
diate problems on their minds
as they prepare for the return
game with Drake Dec. 22.
First will be final examina
tions for the fall quarter. That
little problem started today and
will continue almost right up to
game time, Dec. 22.
Problems two and three are
interlocked improv e m e n t of
play and beating Drake. Coach
Clayton (Chick) Sutherland will
have more than a week of drills
before taking on the final pre
tournament foe on the Cyclone
schedule. That week will see the
Cyclone mentor working mighty
hard to take advantage of the
lessons learned in the first four
games of the season.
Iowa State has won three of
the four contests, stopping South '
Dakota, Simpson, and Utah
State, while bowing to Drake, j

awards, trips and gifts also have

Amazed
But Bobby is taking all his
glory in stride with a little
amazement and a lot of grati
tude. He repeatedly has ex
claimed that it is the boys "up
front" who deserve all the credit.
He says it was the guards and
tackles, and blockers ahead of
him, clearing out the opponents,
who were the real team heroes.
He repeatedly has added that
it was the work of his backfield
mates in their ball handling and
faking that sprung him loose
time and time again.
Bobby greatly appreciates his
honors but feels that he cannot
be singled out as responsible for
the success of the Cornhuskers.
Feelings Understood
Those who have seen and
known him can understand how
he feels and what he means and
find they must agree with him.
But those who have seen and
known him also must confess
that he is a football player ex
traordinary and that he is justly
worthy of all honor and atten
tion he has won.
For they have seen him run
Cornhusker opponents ragged on
the football field; they have
seen him score points in almost
every conceivable manner; they
have seen him punt and pass
with brilliance; they have seen
him decoy the opposition away
from his ball carrying team
mates. More Proof
The doubtful have more to
convince them. They have the
actual words from the gridders
who opposed him on Saturday
afternoons. They have heard
these gridders say he is the
greatest football player they
ever have faced.
These words come from the
men who should know, the men
who know all the facts, the men
who know whether a blocker
prevented them from tackling
Bobby or whether it was Rey
nolds' change of pace, his "limp
legs," his bursts of speed or his
smart all-around capability as a
great footballer.
To break the national colle
giate scoring record, Bobby
needed help, but he also needed
a fighting spirit and tremendous
ability. It is evident now that
he has all this and he still has
two years of eligibility remain
ing. Ten Qualify

THE DAILY NEBRASKAN
Sig oms, Stars.
ifiihydinEss Win
Independent basketball was In
full swing Wednesday night as
the P. E. maples saw 11- games,
some close, some run-aways.
Defending Independent cham
pion, Sigma Gamma Epsilon,
rolled along impressively during
the first half of their initial bat
tle and then struck a snag dur
ing the second half and barely
emerged victorious. Obstacle for
the Sig Gams was Alpha Sigma
Phi, the final score being 39-36.
The Geologists started off fast
with Chuck Nunley and Jack
Yelkin from last year's All-Star
team leading the way. The Alpha
Sigs were hampered by a strong
Sig Gam defense during the first
two periods, but began finding
the range just before the half. A
quick splurge by the Alpha Sigs
narrowed the score at halftime
to 19-11.
The Alpha Sigs continued to
press all during the second half
but just couldn't make up the
difference. Gene Carter com
bined with Nunley and Yelkin
with some timely goals to give
the defending champs a winning
start.
Christensen Leads Way
Arved Christensen was the high
scorer for the Alpha Sigs and of
the game with a total of 14. Vern
Hruza and Paul Sigmund added
nine and eight, respectively, to
the losing total.
Nunley and Yelkin were tops
for the victors with 12 points
apiece. Carter contributed eight.
A.S.M.E. scored one extra point
in the first half of their game
with Phi Alpha Delta and made
that point count as they won by
a score of 21-20. The engineers
were ahead at halftime by a 12
11 score and both outfits notched
nine markers after intermission.
Bernard Packett, with eight
points for PAD, led the scoring
during the game. Luther with
seven and Anderson with six
were high for the engineers.
Charles Broughton led Nebras
ka Co-op as they fought from
behind to win their game with
Pharmacy. The final was 19-16.
Broughton Rolls
Broughton helped his mates to
an early lead that was shaved to
one point at the end of a 8-7
first quarter. The Co-op men ran
into severe trouble during the
second period and failed to score
at all, Pharmacy getting three to
lead at the half, 10-8.
The scoring action failed to
pick up in the third period as
both outfits garnered two points.
The fourth period was different,
however, as Broughton and his
mates regained their shooting eye
and fashioned nine points hold
ing Pharmacy to four.
Broughton's 12 counters was
by far tops in the game. Bailey
was top man for Pharmacy with
three points.
The Lilies, perenially strong,
started off on the right foot by
beating the Pirates, 27-21. D.

as compared to 41 for independ

points.

close throughout and led at half
time, the score standing at 11-10.
R. Sovalin led the contest's
scoring as well as all the scoring
during the evening of basketball
with a total of 17. Dick Giles was
tops for the Comets with 15.
Gunners Win
The Gunners scored heavily in
the first and last quarters in
their opener to down the Plug
gers, 31-20. The Gunners started
fast and at the quarter led 8-1.
That margin was narrowed to
almost nothing at halftime, how
ever, as the Pluggers roared back
to make it 13-12.
The third quarter was even
all the way, but the Gunners
again began to hit in the final
stanza and won going away.
Kiburz of the winners and
Hoskins of the losers tied for
the scoring honors with ten
markers apiece.
The City YMCA clicked after
a slow first half to wipe out the
Dusters, 27-18. The first half
was slow and even all the way
with the Yers leading only 8-7
at the intermission.
A quick flurry of baskets in
the third quarter practically
sewed up the game for the YM,
Shull led the victors in the scor
ing with ten points. Rod Pope
was high for the Dusters with
six.
The Plamors had little trouble
with the Ag Men's Club "B" as
they won 22-10. The victors kept
things all even in their scoring
getting 11 points in both halves.
Top scorers for the two out
fits were Sanders of the Plamors
with seven and Pierson of Ag
Men with six.
The Ag College YMCA B
squad recovered from their
opening defeat at the hand of
their "A" squad to rack Voca
tional Agriculture 21-14.
Win in First Half
The YM men clinched the
game in the first half with 15
points while holding the Voc Ag
men to six. Morrisen and Harris
led the winners with eight and
six points, respectively. Beck
got six for the losers.
The Rinkydinks and Dorm B
& C hooked up in a thrilling
Varsity with 8 and Newman Club
with seven.
The semi-finals of the 50 yard I
dash have been moved to 5 p.m.
Friday instead of Thursday, as

change was necessitated because
of the fact that most of the par
