Sooners
In what should be a spine tin
gling hair raiser, the Oklahoma
Sooners face the Colorado Buffa
loes at Norman, Okla., Saturday
and the eyes of the conference
will be glued to the Sooner foot
ball field.
The way the ball bounces in
this game might well determine
who shall wear the Big Seven
conference football crown for the
1951 season. It also appears that
a battle of stars is in the offing.
The two aces that will be aim
ing for the headlines Saturday
will be Elwood Kessler Shelton
of the Buffs and Buck McPhail
of the Wilkinson clan.
Shelton, who usually goes
under the name "Woody," is a
scant 150 pound right half back
who has made the opposition
shake their 'noggins in bewil
derment. Shelton is what Is known as the
wlngback in the single wing for
mation and Coach Dallas Ward
uses his prize little package of
dynamite to shoot around the foes
ends. Once he gets into the sec
ondary, Shelton takes off like a
tall bird.
Coach Ward says . of Shelton,
"a great ball carrier and a real
competitor." Those are mighty
fine words coming from Ward.
The statistics show that Shelton
has packed the mail on 64 occa
sions this fall and has totaled 305
yards or 4.7 yards per try. Not
only is he chief accessory to Colo
rado's victories in his four touch
down thrusts this season, but he
also is a pass catcher deluxe.
The Sooners have a boy from
the oil country who they boast is
at least equal to this Colorado
cyclone. Buck McPhail has been
spearheading a Vessel-less Sooner
attack.
McPhail Is a hard charging
fullback hailing from Oklahoma
City. He weighs a contrasting
202 and is a junior at the.
Sooner institution. McPhail's
record Is also quite impressive.
He's taken the ball on 30 trips
TJver the line of scrimmage for
354 yards. This figures that the
Sooner hot-shot has been averag
ing 11.8 yards per try.
All in all, it looks like a battle
royal. The odd-makers point to
a Sooner victory Saturday. It
seems that Wilkinson has found a
very able replacement for injured
all-American Billy Vessels. Buddy
Leake scored three touchdowns
against Kansas last Saturday and
Leake's only a freshman.
Elsewhere around the confer
ence, Kansas university faces
Kansas State in the old sunflower
rivalry. The game will be played
at Lawrence, which is another
reason for the selectors to point
for a Jayhawk victory.
At Columbia, Mo., Coach Don
Faurot was preparing a defense
for his Missouri Tigers to stop the
vaunted Bobby Reynolds of Ne
braska. Old Jupiter Pluvius has
been playing havoc with Missou
ri's practice sessions this week.
Iowa States will get its chance
.to "get" Johnny Bright Saturday
when they play the. Drake Bull
dogs. The Cyclones will be at
home and will be set for another
victory.

CROOK! IN ACTtON . . . Bob Crook, Theta Xi. prepares to return

Tekes, Theta Chis,
Phi Psis Victors
By DOUG WILCOX
Sports Staff Reporter '
The intramural grid season is
rolling along pTetty fast as the
teams begin jockeying for position
in the playoffs.
Friday of last week Theta
Chi played the Sigma Alpha
Mu's and beat them in a tilt
full of plenty of passing action
on the part of both squads. The
final score was 19 to 12 in favor
of the Theta Chi's.
The fireworks tegan in the first
quarter when the Sams scored on
a pass from Hal Gaiter to Ed
Handleman. Try for the conver
sion was unsuccessful, and the
score stood at 6 to 0.
But Dale Link of the Theta
Chi's was not to be outdone as
he ran a punt back from the
SAM's 20 for a TD. The con
version attempt was no good.
Again Sigma Alpha Mu scored
in the first quarter on another
pass from Gaiter to Handleman.
This try for the extra point was
also no good.
The game was at a standstill
until the final two ' minutes
when Link passed to Jerry Mil
ler for a touchdown. With the
score all tied up and the vital
point determining the winners,
the Theta Chi's won on a pass
from Link to Flecher.
They still had some power left
as they Scored on a touchdown
Dass combination irom um to
John Flecher. The conversion at
tempt was futile.
The outstanding players on tne
winning squad were Dale Link
and John Flecher who made some
very fine touchdown plays.
Wednesday ball games were
stilt going on at the Ag college
playing fields. One of these
games was a tilt between Phi
Kappa Psi and Phi Delta Theta.
The final score in this contest
was 32 to 7 in favor of the Phi
Phi's.
Scoring for the Phi Phi's was
Don Frei who received two touch-
fdown passes from backfield man
Buster Lehman;
The tries for the extra points
were not successful so the score
stood at 12 to 0.
Buster Lehman again passed to
Bob Bachman for thevnext touch
down and the try for the extra
point was accomplished through
the efforts of Lehman to Bob
Britton.

passes into the waiting arms of
Jerry Anderson. One try for the
extra point was unsuccessful,
but the other was made when
Lehman threw to Dick Thomp

The passing of Phi Psi backs

of their team and so should be

scored when Breslin passed to

but the T.K.E.'s continued to
score. The conversion attempt
was not accomplished.
The combination of Breslin toi
Sterkle accounted for another six

There seems to be little doubt in the state concerning what
team heads the high school football list this week. Lincoln High's
Links are monopolizing the polls this week more than ever.
The Links and the Omaha North Vikings were having a nip
and tuck battle for the top honor, but the Links settled the question
by socking the Vikes 39-13 last Friday.
The high school picture has reached the mid point of its fall
reign and there seems to be little doubt that Lincoln high and
Omaha Holy Name, class B leader, will both finish the season un
defeated. One month ago we predicted Bill Pfeiffs hoys to cop state
and put Omaha Holy Name in second place with the idea in
mind that they would zip through their schedule. So far, we've
been right on both counts.
We pegged Omaha North to wind up third and this is quite
feasible if and when the Vikings can drop Omaha South and Omaha
Central when they come up against them later this season.
. It is quite conceivable that the Fremont Tigers will take that
fourth place spot at this midway point in the season. The Tigers
have bounced five foes already this season without a setback.
Omaha North won our vote for the seventh place spot while
Omaha South slipped into our sixth place favorites roll. At the
present time, it is conceivable that both of these teams will finish
somewhere very close to this vicinity.
Grand Island, Creighton Prep and Lincoln Northeast were
eighth, ninth and tenth respectively. It is apparent that we were
In error to put the Islanders so high, but they've been hurt by
Injuries this season.
Prep took two out of its first five games but the worst is over

North. The Rockets are sporting a three win, three loss record but
like Prep, the toughest games are out of the way.

Definitely out of the Missouri
game is tackle Jerry Minnick. The
210 pound defensive tackle re
ceived a slight concussion and
will not be available for duty for
a week to 10 days. Minnick had
been one of the outstanding Corn
huskers this season. His aggres
siveness and spirit more than
compensated for his lack of expe
rience, as the big sophomore
proved to be the bulwark of the
Husker defense.
Reports that Minnick received
his injury from deliberate slug

Coach Glassford. In an official
statement, Glassford declared.
"I have viewed the movies. It
was a clean game with no evi

Leo Durocher Receives Title

Leo Durocher, who led the New

in 14 years, has been named base
ball's "manager of the year," for
1951 by the Baseball Writers As

Minnick incident was not of this
nature.
Meanwhile, as the Huskers
girded themselves for Saturday's
contest, it appeared as though no
changes would be made in the
Husker offensive backfield. -A
lineup of Don Norris, quarter
back, Bob Reynolds, left half
back, John Bordogna, right half
back, and Ray Novak, fullback,
are almost certain to start against
Missouri.
At the moment the offensive
line will stack up with Frank
Simon and Dick Regler, ends,
George Prochaska and Harvey
Goth, tackles, Joe Ponseigo and
Clayton Curtis, guards with
Veri Scott and Ken Schroeder
alternating at the center slot.
Scott and Schroeder will also
see action as linebackers on de
fense. A tentative squad of 36 is be
ing gleaned from the Varsity
hands to make the trip to Colum
bia. In Missouri, the Huskers
will face a team which has but
one victory to its credit this sea
son. However, the Tigers possess
two of the Big Sevens most feared
backs in Junior Wren and Harold
Carter, who last year almost
spoiled the Cornhusker homecom
ing, when Nebraska pulled out
a 40-34 victory in a wild game.
The Huskers will have to go far
