Monday, October !5, 1951 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN PAGE 3 Hi WASECA UN By CORK BIEMOND Sports Staff Reporter Saturday afternoon the Huskers cave the Penn State Lions a ter rific battle in Memorial Stadium at Lincoln. xne iinai tally of 15 to 7 was hardly a fair indication of the ability of the teams, since the last touchdown made by Penn State was a gift, due to a NU fumble on the 4 yard line on which they capitalized for 7 points. After Penn State kicked to Ne braska, Bob Smith and Nick Adduci attempted to get Nebraska running plays into effect, but it was ineffective, so John Bordogna kicked to the Penn 20. Penn failed to complete its required 10 yards and after a five yard penalty they kicked to the NU 45 yard line. Nebraska was penalized five yards, then passed twice but after a costly fumble, Penn recovered the ball on the Husker 40. They then attempted two running: plays and a forward pass which was incomplete. They sprinted off tackle to Nebraska's 14 yard line where Don Boll smashed through and hammered the pass er into the ground, causing him to fumble, which was recovered by Levundusky. The offense again failed to make the necessary yardage and Penn ran back a kick to the Nebraska 49. There through passing and end runs they advanced to the 19 yard line where the Scarlet took over. The second quarter was slow for NU's attack and we kicked . . . After a run by Shopa to Ne braska's 19 yard line, Penn passed and ran finally made a touchdown but failed to convert. In the balance of the second quarter, Smith and Bordogna made several runs that almost got the Huskers rolling toward pay dirt, but they lacked the necessary drive and Penn took over on their 30. Pollard broke loose for several nice gains for Penn State and only heroic line play by Minnick, Boll and Mullen kept the Lions from threatening again. Several losses were attributed to NU linemen who continually smashed up Penn plays before they could get into action. A pass from Don Norris to Frank Simon in this quarter clicked for much needed yardage when the offense on the ground again bogged down. The first half ended just as a Penn State pass was intercepted by Decker, but time ran out. On the second half kickoff Cederdahl made a fine return to the NU 36 yard line. Bordogna went around left end for five and again the Huskers were unable to make the necessary yardage. A Penn State TD run was called back after Bordogna kicked be cause they were off side. Bordogna then completed a brilliant run to the Penn State one yard line where he succeed ed in scoring the second play following. The conversion was good and Nebraska led 7-6. Simon kicked off and the tackle was made by Levun dusky on the 35. Penn then ad vanced to the Husker 42 and was stopped by Jim Yeisley, Boll and Minnick for no gain. A quarterback sneak for a first down set up a pass play to Pollard on the Nebraska 11. Pollard went to the 3 yard line on the following play, but was smeared for a loss on the next attempt. A fumble was then recovered for NU by Shellbacker. Smith broke loose off tackle for a beau tiful 69 yard run to the Penn State 21 yard line. The Huskers were unable to sustain this drive however and Penn State took over on their 15 yard line. Penn State then made two nice runs, and passed to Pollard on the Nebraska 34. A delayed line buck took the ball to the 25. Two more p:ays and the ball rested on the nine yard line Band Day Features Lion Tilt By RON GIBSON Sports Staff Reporter Ask any one of the sellout crowd of 35,000 people who watched last Saturday's Ncbras-ka-Penn State football game whut the feature attraction of the after noon was, and the chances are about 50-50 that he would an swer "Band Day." " For Saturday was Band Day again .an annual event at the University. Each year, Nebras ka high school bands from all over the state are invited by NU band director Don Lentz to attend this mammoth musical pageant. This year, there wrre m many replies to the Invita tions that some schools had to be turned down. However, 63 Hchooli were represented at the Fenn State game. From a platform on the field, band director Don Lcntz led the 64 bands in five numbers while the high school majorettes did their stuff on the sidelines. During the performance, the card section displayed patterns appropriate to the music. The program started with the huge band playing national an them while the card section formed an American flag. Next was a circus number, "Barnum and Baileys' Favorite." As the band played "On The Mall," the card section saluted the high school bands by forming a trum pet. Then the bandsmen formed a huge "N" on the field, and the card section answered with a big "Nebraska." The bands fol follwed this with "Billboard," and then concluded the show Vlth "Dear Old Nebraska U." The bands came from places ai far away from Lincoln as Chap pell and as near as College View. Schools of all sizes were repre aented, ranging from tiny Beav er Crossing to Hastings and North Flatta. m iSiililiMplllil y , . . m plIlIllllhllBi V i: 1 ' ! illllt ! -r'j lllllllf w I f- IL It.n ,-. ... . ..... jj a. ii imim mi mi rumir nifiaial DON BOLL . . .

Nebraska received and Smith ran back to the Nebraska 34. Bor dogna then reversed his field and made a fine 15 yard gain. Smith followed by an off guard run for five yards, and the next play he gained four yards. A quarterback sneak by Norris made it a first and 10 to go. Bor dogna then crashed through for four yards and Simon caught a pass to the Penn State 24 yard line for a first down. Nebraska was off side and received a FHE By CORK Sports Staff Columnist Slightly over a week remains before duck season officially opens for the state of Nebraska. Friday October 19th at high noon to be exact, is the proper time to unlimber the old blunderbuss and "Fire Away." Special note to pheasant hunters; you must wait one week before shooting pheasants. The pheasant season doesn't start until October 26, at sunrise. ' - ' - - ' MOST IMPORTANT are these regulations concerning waterfowl hunting. A valid current license is required. A Federal migratory waterfowl stamp is required. (These stamps are available at the local postoffice). A plug is needed in repeating shotguns to limit their capacity to three shells. Bag limi is 5 ducks including one wood duck. This is a par ticular species of the fowl and not a lumber decoy. Daily limit of geese is five, including in such limit either two Canada geese or two whitefronted geese or one each. After the first day starting at noon, subsequent days shooting will be allowed starting at one-half hour before sunrise, througn Dec. 7. Motorboats are not allowed. Certain portions of this state are game refuges and are closed to shooting at all times. These are mainly on the Platte river and federal or state owned lakes, so be sure and check around before you start shooting. It is illegal to shoot from a public highway. It is also illegal to shoot out of an automobile. It is illegal to have any shells in the guns, or magazine of the guns you are carrying in your car. These above regulations are those most violated In recent years so be warned in advance that the wardens are checking cars for loaded guns. We are also warned that there will be extra law enforcement officers In the field at the start of the season to check on those who mistakenly believe the pheasant season starts on October 19th. Latest reports on duck prospects indicate that there are great numbers of ducks in the Nebraska sandhills. Latest information on hunting follows: The war between the states will break out Friday noon. Iowa has a week's head start on waterfowl shooting, and consequently many Nebraska hunters who wish to hunt in the Missouri river areas bordering the two states are purchasing an Iowa non-resident permit with the hope of getting the jump on the early duck and goose flights down the Big Muddy. A check Monday in Omaha indicated that over 500 Iowa non-resident licenses have already been sold and the big rush is yet to come. The possibility of getting into the early goose flight is the big reason for the rush. The earlier Iowa opening should just about take in the peak of the goose flight down the Missouri river. Non-resident pheasant hunters in Nebraska this year will have no bag limit restrictions. Regular resident restrictions will pre vail. This means that the non-resident visitor can take his daily limit of five birds, and then come back another day and try for his limit again. Last year non-resident pheasant seekers were limited to four birds per permit.

The Scarlet failed to get started after this and time was fast running out when Penn State recovered a costly fumble on our four yard line. For two plays the defense held but finally we were unable to stop their attack and they scored, on a line plunge by Shopa.

The Huskers looked a great deal better! 1 There were times when the heart beats of the throng of 38,000 could be felt way back in State College, Pa., the home of the Penn State Nittany Lions. The Huskers were vastly improved! The record books will show that the Huskers fell 15-7 to Penn State on October 13, but to avid Husker fans, that date signifies a decided show of improvement of what someday might turn out to be Nebraska's greatest team. The offense would go at full speed at intervals and then slow down and finally sputter. But the fact that the Huskers were punching that ball through for gains is, in itself, an improvement over their showing against the first two foes. The defense was charging hard at times and Penn State backs found themselves attempting to make gains through seven vicious tigers. The pass defense was finally a defense! The Lions completed their share of the passes, but a good share fell and were knocked to the ground. John Bordogna, you were great! Most of the fans in the stand on that cloudy Saturday afternoon will remember you for that sensational 59 yard run and the one yard smash to a Scarlet tally. It was your presence that sparked the offensive prowess of the, Huskers. Your fight and determination to make yardage,' whether you were in a forward motion or running and spinning backwards, was the most impressive display of running since Reynolds' feats of last year. Bob Smith was only superb! As to compare mis urana island flash with Reynolds as a freshman. 1 A. JJ. 1 . dui u wouia De a sare guess xo say With a little more speed, you safety, and you could have run that ball over the goal line for your first Husker tally. As it will read, you missed glory and success Dy oniy iu yaras. The line, both offensive and defensive, looked ereatlv improved i You were rushing the nasser and Lions to get loose. Jerry Minnick, Don Boll and Moon Mullen all turned in sparkling penormances on uie line. ivunnicK a jrenn oiaie loss. Frank Simon can't improve much, but he played his consistently fine game at end for Nebraska. .Especially did Frank bring the crowd to its feet when he caught a pass from Don Norris with no less than two Lions all over him. The play ranks as one of the top ones in the game. Old number 22 will no longer be seen smashing through opponents lines and taking those unorthodox short choppy steps toward the promised land. Nick Adduci will be working out with Uncle Sam's team. Nick received his army call and left yesterday. The Huskers were hurt on several miscues and mistakes during the game. That third quarter fumble by Norris on fourth down made Husker hopes sag, but alert George Prochaska picked the ball ana racea aeep mio renn territory just snort of a first down. The Huskers fourth quarter drive toward victory was halted on the Penn State 14 yard line. With fourth down and one yard to go, a Nebraska linesman was offside. Bobby Decker tried a 20 varH field goal and it was blocked. Don Norris deserves his share of quarteroacK toaay tnan against TCU. No jitters and a fine mixture of plays. Today was the first time I've seen any Huskers throw a pass on second down. The team had a little informal get together for parting team member Nick Adduci in the Fieldhouse right after the game. Speeches were made and gifts presented by the Nebraska team members to let Nick know how much they thought of him. Aside from being one of the most respected players on the team, for ability and leadership on the gridiron and off, Nick Adduci will always be one of the most popular team players to wear a Nebraska uniform. Scottsbluff JC Next Foe On Nebraska 'B' Schedule By TOM BECKER Sports Staff Reporter Coach H. H. (Ike) Hanscom de scribed the Nebraska "B" team in three words, lack of desire. "The greatest athlete wouldn't be worth anything if he didn't sacrifice himself, stick closely to training rules and had the desire to play football," Hanscom said. He named Duane Rankin, Dan Brown, Jim Cederdahl, George Gohde, John Sebold, John Welch, John Schreiber, Andy Loehr, Bill Holloran, Leonard Singer, Don Glantz, Jim Ytesley, Stu Thorell, Bill Thayer, and Tom Kripal as boys who have the desire to play football and should help the varsity next year. At present, Coach Hanscom is drilling on fundamentals such as blocking, tackling, ball handling, starting, stance, and pass defense.

Hanscom had nothing but praise for Dan Brown's effort at quar terback against Missouri. "Brown called a good game, especially in the second half when the team clicked in good shape," he added. The Husker "B" squad de feated Missouri "B," 13-0, in the rain at Columbia. The "B" team waa on the defense during the first half and made three goal line stands within the 10-yard line. Cederdahl punted seven times for an average of 39.8 yards. This effort alone kept the Huskers out of the hole. Gohde scored first on a plunge over right tackle. Brown added the extra point on a place kick. On a auick opening play, Ce derdahl raced forty-six yards for the final tally. All members of the thirty-six man squad saw action.

Most of the big-time teams have launched trading deals in an ef fort to build Up the weaknesses discovered during the past season. The hottest trade on tap is between the New York Yan kees and the St. Louis Browns. The Yank organization is anx ious to obtain the brilliant Brownie pitcher, Ned Garver, who won 20 games last year for a third-rate club. Besides the Yanks, the Chicago White Sox also rumored to want the services of Garver. According to reports, the Yanks made a down-payment on Garver when they sold Cliff Mapes to the Browns on waivers. The rest of the deal allegedly includes Gerry Coleman, second baseman, and four other players and a good supply of cash to St. Louis for the services of the stylish Garver. General Manager George Weiss of the Yankee organization ad mitted he had a conference with a group of St. Louis officials. "There was no deal," Weiss said. Other sources contend that the White Sox will send several players Including Jim Rivera, a star in the Pacific Coast league last year, and cash to the Brownies in exchange for Gar ver. Rivera performed for Se attle under Rogers Hornsby, the new Brownie manager. But Garver isn't the only trade Joe DiMaggio Decides To Retire From Diamond It is aDDarently official that Joltin' Joe DiMaggio, considered to be the greatest Yankee since Babe Ruth, has played his last season of major league baseball. He informed Yankee President Dan Topping that he had defi nitely decided to retire from the diamond sport. The two men discussed the matter for two hours, but Topping still wanted the famed Yankee Clipper to consider longer before making up his mind. Authorities on the national scene believe that DiMaggio will abide by his present decision to call it auits. He asserted last sping that the 1951 season would be his last, but most fans turnea a deaf ear. And his 1951 performance in dicated that he really is ready for retirement. He hit .263, only the second time in his Yankee career he has batted below .300. His rifle throwing arm lost the power which once made it the best in the majors, and he was no longer the fast fielder as In former years. Immediately after the World Series ended he announced that "I have played my last game." Despite the great feats he performed during his .colorful career, DiMaggio was especially proud of the homer and doubles he hit In the series because "it will give them something to re member me by." Manager Casey Stengel said his club could not have won the series without DiMaggio, and that he hopes the Clipper will change his mind. "In a sense Joe was the Yankees, and the day that he quits a part of the Yankees will be gone too," Stengel said. Since be first started playing in the house that Babe Ruth built, DiMaggio has served as the Yankee leader, and since the departure of such stars as "King Kong" Keller, Bill Dickey learned from french (flannel, that is!) v 5: mCe fabrice from Burlington Milk 11k the Browns have on the fire. They have been reconstructing their last-place club with minor leag uers. Included Is the purchase ol pitchers Hal Hudson nad John y Hetki from Toronto, the Brown's farm club in the Internaticnl league, and they obtained Leo Thomas, infielder, from Portland. Thomas, an ex-Brown, was traded for cash and pitcher Fred Sanford and utilityman Jack Ma guire. Sanford was bought by the Yanks for $100,000 in 1949 and returned to St. Louis this year on Washington waivers. The White Sox also went via the, minor league route in order to strengthen their surging team. The Sox got hurlers Marv Grissom and Hector Brown from Seattle for cash and five minor leaguers. Grissom, who won 20 games, formerly played with the De troit Tigers, and Brown went to St. Louis through the draft last year but was shipped back when he failed to win. Another player the White Sox are anxious to obtain is infielder Hector Rodriguez from Brooklyn's Montreal team in the International league who was the 1951 rookie of the year in that circuit. The Chicago Cubs, cellar team in the National league, have been very active in obtaining new play ers. and Tommy Heinrich, he has been the only link to the old Bomber powerhouse teams of by-gone days.
