Wildcats Are Battered . . .
It was quite a rough game we
bad at Memorial Stadium Sat
urday. An even dozen men were
on the Injury list when the
Kansas State football team re
ported for a light workout Mon
day afternoon. Three of them
have knee injuries and will not
be able to play in Saturday's
game against Tulsa University
at Tulsa. They are ends Jack
McShulskis and Ken Barr and
Tackle Larry Hartshorn.
Three others have injuries
which may keep them out of
action. Linebacker Dennis Kane
has a head injury; linebacker E.
Pence has a broken rib, and tackle
Earl Meyer has a broken finger
and a severely strained neck. It
was first thought that Meyer s
reck was broken rather than
strained. The other six are nursing
bruises to be in shape for Tulsa.
Husker Workhorse . . .
Quarterback John Bordorna
has developed into the work
horse of the University of Ne
braska football team. John leads
the Scarlet In net yards gained
(362); on the greatest number
of rushes (81); has thrown 26
of Nebraska's 42 passes, 11 of
them complete for 161 yards,
and has scored S of 17 NU
touchdowns. His scoring total of
SO points is second only to that
of Bob Reynolds who has reg
istered SI.
Bordogna carried 25 times for a
net rushing gain of 143 yards
against Kansas State last Satur
day, and threw 9 passes for 3
completions and 74 yards.
John's record looks good now
and he has done a line job in
leading the Huskers from the
quarterback slot. However, at
Penn State this weekend, he will
get his real test. Whether or not
he will be ranked with the great
quarterbacks of Nebraska history
will depend on his performance
at Penn State and the subsequent
Husker foes. On his shoulders will
rest the responsibility of main
taining the Cornhusker win streak.
Cn the editorial ware of to
day'a Nebraskan appears a Let
terip from the sports editor of
the Lincoln Star, proposing that
the University of Nebraska
ROTC band, the eard section,
and cheering section unite in
honoring Bob Reynolds during
the half of one of the two re
maining home games. This col
umn favors this proposal highly
If it is earrid out in the proper
vein. Let's lienor Bob as an Ail
American, a great football
player, a graduating senior, and
a great guy iot as a player
whose football career was ended
by an injury.
We talked briefly with Don
Lentz. director of the University
band, that if the proper arrange
ments can be made with the ath
letic department, the band and
card section, supervised by
Gamma Lambda, will gladly in
sert a formation in its halftime
show to honor the "Rambler."
Whether Bob plays or not the re
mainder of the season, tne nan
time tribute is one he has earned
and deserves.

Previously unbeaten Phi
Gamma Deltt and hertofore win-
less Kappa Sigma did abrupt
about-faces in the intramural grid
wars Tuesday evening and suf
fered their first loss and gained
their first victory, respectively.
Beta Theta Pi staged a terrific
fourth-quarter splurge to hand the
Phi Gams their first defeat in
four games, 22-13 and climb into a
tie for second place in league II.
The Betas, trailing 13-7 going into
the final stanza, powered across
15 counters to drop the Fijis from
the ranks of the all-victorious.
The losers tallied first as In
the opening period Ladd Han
scom fired a short pass to
Georre Barlow, who In turn
scampered 30 yards to paydirt.
It was 13-9 midway in the sec
ond stanca as Marty Young flip
ped to Fiji Don Bedker for the
score and then to Ed Schmidt
for the extra point.
The Betas began the long road
back with Bob Howey tallvine
just before the half and Tom Har
rington garnering the point
Kappa Sigs Win
The Kappa Sigma shoved Sig
ma Nu deeper into the league
II cellar on the strength of a 12-0
win. It was the first Kappa Sig
win in four games and the fourth
straight Sig Nu defeat
John Gibbons started the Kappa
Sig attack in the second period
with a 32-yard scoring toss to Ed
Berg. They padded the already
sufficient margin m the third
stanza as Berg combined with Guy
Curtis on a 45-yard production
for six more points.
Miller of the Sig Alphs crashed
through and covered a Sig
fumble in the end-xone for the
game's only tallies.
The victory kept the SAE's in a
tie for first in league I while the
loss, the third in four tries for the
Sigs, dropped the losers into the
league cellar.
Phi Delts Edged
Sigma Phi Epsilon scored in the
daylight and again in the dark
ness to edge a fighting Phi Delta
Theta outfit on a narrow 7-6 yardage-decided
score. The defending
champion Sig Eps, had to ward off
a Phi Delt extra point attempt in
the third quarter and then hold
their own in the final stanza to
shove the game into overtime play
which was staged in the gloomy
dusk of the evening.
The fired -up Phi Delts shoved
the favored Sig Eps all over the
field but finally fell before sev
eral bad breaks.
A wobbly Phi Delt pass in the
second period found the arms of
tp Bill Anderson who in turn re
turned the ball to the Phi Delt
one-yard line, a 13-yard return.
Ted Kratt found a hole in the Phi
Delt line and plunged for final
yard for the game's first six-pointer.
The Phi Delts took control of
the game from that point and
scored three touchdowns but
saw penalties call back two. The
one that counted came on a
Louie Roper to Tom Hartley 20
yard pass and knotted the score
at 6-6. Twice more the losers
marched down the field to gain
what appeared the valuable
touchdown only to have offside
penalties interfere.
The Sig Eps, themselves, must.
ered a last-ditch drive late in the
game that carried to the Phi Delt
five, but found the opposition stiff
ana lost the ball on downs.
It was the case of who caught
the ball in the overtime period.
The Sig Eps tried for vardaee first
and ripped off 20 yards before a
pass-interception halted them.
The first Phi Delt attemDt was in
the form of a 30-yard pass that in
the gathering darkness could only
be judged as caught A Phi Delt
completion would likely have re
sulted in a victory for them and a
Sig Ep interception would reverse
the final tally.
It took several seconds to learn
that the happy man with the foot-
Dan was big Ep Bob Svanda and
the ball game was finally over:
The win kept the Sig Eps with
a 3-1 record in a tie with SAE
for first of league I while the
loss, third in four tries, dropped
the Phi Deltas into the league
cellar with Sigma Chi.
The final game of the day saw
Acacia gaining o forfeit win from
Zeta Beta Tau, thus eliminating
tne ietes trom playoffs and boost
ing the Masons record to 3-1.
