WE DID! Nebraska's Cornhusk
ers rose to the occasion and ral
lied to drop Iowa State and win
their first game of the 1951 foot
ball season. The game was prob
ably the most wild and woolly of
the long series between the two
schools. Nebraska 34, Iowa State
27!
18,000 people filled the Ames
stadium to capacity to witness
what was expected to be the
Cyclones' first peace time vic
tory over the Huskers since
1938. But little did they realize
that they were about to witness
one of the most spirited scarlet
touchdown rashes , of recent
years.
The Cyclones kicked off and
Bobby Reynolds brought the ball
back to the Nebraska 30 from the
IS yard line. The Huskers then
went into a spread similar to that
employed by Texas Christian,
with Reynolds firing three passes
in a row. Netting only nine yards
on the attempts, the Huskers
punted.
The Cyclones took over and
the much feared passing arm of
Dick Mann started . operating.
Mann hit end Bob Voetberg and
Mai Schmidt and halfback Mel
Meling with his bulls-eye pitch
ing limb on a drive that was
finally halted on the Husker
25 yard line.
After a loss of five yards on
their first try, Reynolds faded
back to pass for the Huskers and
was trapped by a host of State
linemen. Reversing his field, the
Rambler knifed his way to the
45 yard line, with the aid of a
timely Kay Curtiss block.
It looked like the Huskers were
rolling as Reynolds pitched one
into the arms of Frank Simon on
the Cyclone 44, but Reynolds next
pass' was intercepted on the 23
yard line and brought back to
the 29.
Mann then unleashed a pass
to Voetberg, who was stopped
on the Iowa State 41. After
picking up eight yards on their
next three tries, the Cyclones
punted to Bobby Decker, who
returned the ball back to the
Nebraska 46 after fielding it on
his own 15.
The next series of plays was
was disastrous for the Cornhusk
ers. On fourth down, the snap
from center sailed over the head
of Johnny Bordogna, and the Tur
tie Creek ace was thrown on the
Nebraska 14.
It didn't take long for Mann to
fire a pass to Maury Schnell in
the end zone, and it looked as
though the Huskers were in for a
long afternoon of football. Clem
endine converted, and the Cy
clones led 7-0.
Bordogna returned the kick
off to the 38. This was to be
the starting point of a sustained
Husker drive which ended with
a Husker tally. Bordogna passed
to Jim Cederdahl on the 40 yard
line of Iowa State, and then
Bordogna put on a littel run
ning display, packing the mail
down to the Cyclone 14 on three
carries. Bordogna passed to JUy
Novak' on the three, and on the
next play Novak cr a s h e d
through tackle . for the score.
Decker's conversion tied the
score at 7-7.
Mann refused to let the Iowa
State attack be bothered with the
mild Husker retaliation and threw
a beautiful pass to Mai Schmidt
from the Iowa State 36. Schmidt
took it on the Husker 28 and raced
across the double stripes. Clem
endine's extra point effort was
good and the Cyclones led again,
14-7.
The Huskers were unable to
move the ball upfield after re
ceiving the kickoff, and Mann
- led his group of victory-craved.

corn-fed friends to the Husker
10 on a series of short passes.
Mann fired to Meling in the
end zone, and Clemendine
added the extra point as the
Cyclones were beginning to
"lay It on," leading 21-7.
At the end of the first half, the
Huskers depressedly headed for
the dressing room as the score
board confirmed the nre-game
convictions for a Cyclone victory.
The third quarter of this game
will probably go down as one of
the Huskers' most glorious.
Whether it was a superb job of
intermission preaching on Coach
Bill Glassford's part or sheer de
termination and grit for a victory,
the Huskers came off the ground
and all but knocked the Cyclone
victory hopes cold.
The Huskers kicked off, and
the Cyclones were running deep
in their own territory, and Jerry
Minnick was about to step into
the hero's seat. Minnick busted
in to mess up a handoff from
Mann to Meling and then
plucked the ball out of the air
and scampered eight yards to
fame, fortune and six Husker
counters. Decker's extra point
try was good, and the Huskers
were back in the game, 21-14.
The Iowa Staters failed to reach
a first down and were forced to
punt to Bobby Decker who
slashed back to the. Husker 48.
Bordogna heaved a pass to Dick
Regier on the Cyclone 36 and on
the next play flipped to Ceder
dahl, who danced down to the

Cyclone eight. Bordogna then
pitched one to Ray Novak for a
touchdown and pandemonium
broke loose among the Husker
rooters. Decker's extra point made
Huskers rub their eyes at the
score on the big scoreboard, 21-21.
When the crowd was settled
back in its seats ready to see
what the Cyclones were going
to do about stopping this out
burst of Husker scoring, Jim
Eisley intercepted a Mann
pass and returned to the Iowa
State-30-yard line. Two penal
ties sent the Huskers back to
the mid-field stripe, and then
Bordogna let loose with a 39
yard aerial that hit the bread
basket of Frank Simon. Bor
dogna then unwound a touch
down pass to George Paynich,
and the Husker rooters burst
into hysterics. Decker's try
failed and Nebraska's offensive
unit strutted off the field with
a 27-21 advantage.
This must be the end! Cyclone
fans were becoming a little weary
about the rumors they heard con
cerning a poor Husker offense and
defense.
The Huskers were about to start
another sustained drive, this time
from their own 25. Bordogna ran
to the 30 and Reynolds pulled a
"Missouri special" by running the
ball from a punt formation which
was good for a 29-yard gain.
Bordogna threw to Faynich
on the Iowa State 23 and then
hit Cederdahl on the Iowa State
six-yard line. Bordogna then
flipped one into the caressing
arms of Ray Novak for the tally.
Decker made the extra point,
and Nebraska was in seventh
heaven and led, 34-21.
The Staters tried to fight back
early in the fourth quarter as
Mann generaled his cohorts down
the field, but the attack fizzled
out when Reynolds intercepted
pass on the 30 and fumbled to
Yiesley on 33 yard line.
The Huskers weren't able to
capitalize the next time they
had possession of the ball, and
the Staters took over once again.
Mann deliberately passed his
mates to the Husker 13 by hit
ting targets Meling, Schnell and
Stevenson. Mann then heaved
to Voetberg for the score from
the six-yard line, and the kick
was no good. Nebraska 34, Iowa
State 27.
The scoring was over for this
game, but not the excitement.

The Cyclones' fury was tamed
when Decker intercepted Mann's
attempted completion on the Ne
braska 20 and slipped back to the
50-yard line. Reynolds then had
his second aerial attempt snagged
by Brettschneider again on the
Nebraska 36-yard line.
Mann again was piloting his
crew down the field to what was
hoped to be touchdown pay dirt.
Mann threw to Schmidt on the
.Nebraska 25, and everyone was
giving their fingernails a good
gnawing.

up with an interception that was

at Ames before finally succumb
ing, 22-19.
The Nebraska junior gridders
arrived in Ames an hour before
game time and did not have
opportunity to recover from the
wearisome bus ride. 1
The Cyclones put in their bid
for victory early by scoring two
touchdowns in the first quarter,
but Nebraska proved equal to
the task and rallied to make the
half time score 13-12.
On the first play from scrim
mage after the half, Cyclone back
Bill Spence broke loose through
the middle of the Nebraska line
and sprinted 41 yards for a
touchdown.
After this bit of fireworks
ended, the Nebraska defense
settled down to play stellar ball.
In contrast to this, the Husker of
fense sputtered and fizzled for
the rest of the game.
One of the most effective
weapons utilized by Iowa Stale
was its tremendous punting,
which kept Nebraska's back to
the wall most of the game.
With seven ' minutes gone in
the first period, Iowa State
broke the scoring ice when
Roger Burns crashed over from
the three-yard line on a quar
terback sneak. Jack Coisd con
verted. ,
Shovtly after Nebraska received,
fullback George Ghode fumbled
on the Scarlet 33 and the Cy
clones recovered. Jim Meilkus
Chuck Gates burst through tackle
to score on the next play.
Nebraska got its first chance in
the second quarter when Chuck
Chanley set up a touchdown by
intercepting a Cyclone aerial on
the Husker 36. Quaterback Dan
Brown completed two consecutive
passes ti end George Mink which
put Nebraska on the Iowa State
31.
From this point halfback
Lawrence Goll fought his way
to the 17, Ghode picked up five
and Bill Thayer went to the
four, but an off-side penalty
set Nebraska back to the nine.
Thayer again ran to the four,
and on the next play Goll
circled left end for a touchdown.
Brown's placement was no
good.
Nebraska got its second touch
down when Andy Loehr knocked
down an Iowa State pitchout and
recovered on the Cyclone six.
Dick Westin ran to the three, but
an off-side penalty moved the ball
back t- the eight.
On fourth down Westin went
around end from the five to
score. Emil Radik's conversion
was missed.
After Spence's 41-yard touch
down gallop, the two ball clubs
settled down to play fairly
evenly. However, Nebraska
made two superb goal-line
stands in order to ward off the
Cyclone offensive machine.
The IS team scored a safety
when Thayer was tackled behind I
the goal line as he attempted
an end run. This gave Iowa
State a 22-12 lead.
Duane Rankin scored the last
touchdown of the game when he
intercepted a Cyclone pass thrown
by Roger Burns on the Husker
34 and sped all the way for a
TD. Radik made the extra point.

go, but served the purpose of
The game ended with the Husk
keeping possession of the ball,
ers in possession of the ball on
the Iowa State 15 and in posses
sion of their first win of 1951.
There is not enough praise that
can be given the Husker team.
Bill Glassford was one happy man
and so were the scarlet-clad giants
who carried the rotund mentor off
the field Saturday.
The defense played one of its
finest games and even the Husker
pass defense cannot be too seri
ously reprimanded for the number
of completions by Dick Mann. In
stead Mann should reecive credit
for being a fine passer.
It would be hard to single out
the Husker players who gave Ne
braska Its 26th victory over tht
Cyclones against 10 defeats, but
John Bordogna did a superlative
job of passing and running and
Bobby Reynolds displayed his All
American talen on offense and
defense.
Jerry Minnick was a terror on
the line again, and Bob Mullen
turned in his best performance of
the year Saturday. George Pay
nich proved his pass catching
ability, and Don Boll and Jim
Sommers did quite well for them
selves on tackling Cyclones be
fore they could get too far.
The Cyclones deserve a great
deal of credit for not completely
folding up under the pressure of
the Husker third quarter four
touchdown outbreak. They played
as well together after the crash
as they did in their second quar
ter display.
Dick Mann proved his passing
adeptness and Mai Schmidt and
Bob Voetberg their fine pass
catching talents. The M a n n
Schmidt passing combination is
the league's tops and it is quite
evident how they earned the
honor.
The Huskers may have the
spark that will carry them on to
a surprising football finish this
fall. The Huskers must win one
of their next three games to avoid
the label of possessing the worst
record compiled by a Husker team.
Saturday's play indicated that the
worry is not too grave.
Colorado will be in Lincoln
next Saturday to test their skills
against the rejuvenated Corn-huskers.

.his sporty student really teed off on a long tirade
when he found himself stymied on the "single puff"
and "one sniff" cigarette tests. "They're strictly
for the birdies!" said he. He realized that
cigarette mildness requires more deliberation
than a cursory inhale or exhale. Millions of
smokers concur there's only one true test of
mildness and flavor in a cigarette.

Mildness Test, which simply asks you to try
Camels as your steady smoke on a day-after-day,
