Bordogna Slated To See Action
At Quarterback; IS Next Hurdle
The Benchvarmer
Nebraska came roaring back
against Missouri and Kansas at
the start of the third quarter only
to fumble the ball on the four
yard line in both games.
On countless occasions, the
Huskers have given opponents a
chance to score by fumbling the
ball away.
If Nebraska holds fumbling and
mrowmg xne ban away to a mini
mum, the Cyclones will know
they've been in a ball game. This
Saturday afternoon could be the
November surprise Glassford has
been hoping for.
Prognosticators of great fame,
had Nebraska slated for the great
est season since 1940 with a good
chance to capture the Big Seven
crown and possibly go undefeated.
To date, the Huskers have tied
one, lost five. Ail-American Bob
Reynolds has been held to less
two seniors, three juniors, and
two sophomores.
This same line has five players
who have had college experience.
Last year, the Huskers ranked
third in rushing in the nation with
some of the same men it has now.
This year, Nebraska is hear the
bottom in ground gaining, in the
Big Seven.
Pass defense against the Horned
Frogs of Texas Christian was the
worst of the season. Minnesota
and Missouri completed ' many
passes, but on the whole, pass de
fense has improved.
If Nebraska stops giving the
opposition several touchdowns
right before the half, there may
be a few wins on the record.

This leaves one major defect

After seven games this season,

Iowa State will prove more than
a formidable foe, especially since
they are undefeated so far this
season at Clyde Smith field.
If Nebraska would be able to
exclude the second period, the
Huskers would be a far more
dangerous team than they are.

Hard-Hitting
Kansan Tells
Of Success
"You've got to hit the other guy
harer and quicker," says Kansas
Guard George Kinnard, who has
grabbed the departed Mike Mc
Cormack's toga as the Jayhawks'
top blocker this autumn.
"Weight isn't nearly as impor
tant as a quick reaction," the
husky Jayhawk senior illumi
nates. "If you're outcharged all
day you'll never beat anybody."
Kennard, a 201-pound senior
from Kansas City, Mo., has been
unusually impresisve with his
pull-out blocking through K.U.'s
first four games. The brawny sen
tinel can go either way with equal
effectiveness. He also is a sturdy
straight - ahead p 1 o w e r, thus
rounding out excellent overall of
fensive ability.
He'll be called upon to furnish i
a lot of flinty walloping Satur

red crags of Oklahoma's line in
an important Big Seven collision

The Sooners are guarding their
title portals with a brutal de
fensive unit reminiscent of the
rock-crushers of 1946 and 1930.
This is the gang that limited
Texas A. & M.'s terrific rushi - to
14 points and mighty Tex. to
nine, even though the Red:, s
lost both games.
If the improving Kansas for
wards don't perform their sharp

Daily Nebraskan, takes over as
the new leader in the prognosti

hit six out of ten predictions to
give him a .689 average.
Arley Bondarin, Jack Cohen
and Douglas Wilcox are all tied
for the second place spot with a
.673. All three suffered percent
age losses when the football-games
took another freak bounce.
Tom Rische, editor of The Daily
Nebraskan, fell from his top place
berth last week to fifth place with
a .653. Rische connected on only
three selections last week.
Ron Gibson and Arne Stern
are tied for sixth and seventh
with .630 averages. Gibson is a
member of the sports staff and
Stern is assistant business man

This week, the Links face
their biggest outstate rivals, the
Grand Islanders. The Links
footballers are being constantly

the only school in the state that

Two of the defeats were by

All the selectors were stymied
last week when U.C.L.A. sur
prised California's Golden Bears
21-7 and the Mississippi State
football squad trounced a favored
Tulane team. Don Pieper was the
only expert to call this one and
gets , the nod for the "prediction
of the week" honor.
The Purdue win over Penn
State also caused our people in
the know trouble. Only two of
the thirteen pickers hit this one
on the nose, as they did on the
Columbia victory over Cornell.
In the departmental averages,
the business office continues to
lead the parade, but their lead
honors. The Platters have only
one blemish, a seven point deci
sion,, that keeps them from the
list of the undefeated prep teams
in the state.
Omaha South fell to outstate
Sioux City East, 13-7 and the
Beatrice Orangeman continue
to improve as they break into
most of the top ten poll selec
tions. Omaha Holy Name seems to be
the team suffering most, from a
poor schedule. The Ramblers are
undefeated and untied this year,
but they have had to cope with a
snap schedule. They bopped their
only Class A competition, 19-7. but
have looked rather unimpressive
in their victories over class B
schools thus far, especially Blair.
The current collegiate football
season continues to be a big head
ache to gentleman who have to
lighting ror the runner-up
spot, as was expected. The Ne
braska Cornhuskers are the big
disappointment as Coach Glass
ford attempts to rally his team
from the depths of the league
cellar and an unvictorious year.
All in. all, there are many
coaches who will be seeking em
ployment come next year. The
list of undefeated clubs this year
is considerably smaller than any
other year. The pros have some
some very fine squads.
Last year's All-University
champs, Delta Tau Delta, paved
its way by beating Theta Chi,
24-0.
The sparkplug for the Delt
team was Keith Skalla. He
passed for all the winning
touchdowns.
Scoring for the first touchdown
of the day was Bob Tooley. who
caught a 30 yard pass from Skalla
for the score. The conversion at
tempt was no good. ,
! Next Marty Matherson outran
the Theta Chi defense after re
ceiving a 25-yard pass for a TD.
This catch was the longest pass
play of the game. Delta Tau Delta
was unable to make the extra
point.
One of the reasons for not
making: the extra points was the
fact that the , fingers of the
players were stiff from the cold
weather. This cold weather
hampered the playing of the
boys very much.
Even with the chilliness, the
intramural squads continued to
play good ball when Skalla again
wound up his arm and fired the
ball to Ray Mladovich on a short
14-yard pass. The conversion try
was away from the Delt receiver.
The final scores of the game
came in the last period on a
pass play from Skalla to Bob
Hasebroock.
Outstanding for the winning
team was Eldon Park and Fred
Blackett on defense. Offensively
the entire Delt team played good
ball.
Acacia fell to the powerful Phi
Gamma Delta team in a very close
SSrtdTt 7 to Sin 'favor of P" 14 point,
the Fijis.
The Acacians were leading in
bright new individuals which thev
.will be fighting tooth and nail
for come draft time, but the teams
they come from won't be so hot.
Larry Isbell and Bob Smith
are two fine Texas products that
are gaining large support for All
American Daokfield positions. Of
course Vic Janowicz will be hard
to nudge out and Dick Kasmaier
make their livings by predicting ; of Princeton, Bobby Reynolds of
outcomes before the game takes INebraska, Billy Vessels of Okla
place, which also adds to the ele
ment of difficulty.
For example, how could thrice
beaten UCLA drop the powerful
Bears of California. Coach Pappy
Waldorf is still rather shocked
