Tuesday, November 11, 195?. THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Page' 3 The Lineup ham Under The Tarpaulin Ii HI) Rain Helps Huskers ... It always happens. For two long months, the state of Nebraska has not been blessed with Tain, but the minute 6,000 Husker fans migrate to Kansas for a weekend of football, It not only rains or drizzles it pours. Nevertheless the spirit of the Cornhusker fans was not dampened, nor did the downpour clog the horns of the meager Nebraska Pep Band they were all behind the team until the final gun sounded. No one could miss the unison of voices from the north ern end of the stadium as they counted out loudly the final 30 sec- .wm onas 01 xne game. i . is V KlasfK in his seat, raincoat around his shoulders, and head bowed. He was removed from the gnme by Coach J. V. Sikes, after the winning Ne braska touchdown was scored in favor of the dazzling Gil Reich. It was the second of Robertson's two bobbles that gave the Huskers the ball on the Kansas 27-yard line. Defense-Offense Balanced ... On paper, the defensive and offensive Nebraska platoons were almost even. But it was the head-up play of the Husker line that set up both Scarlet scores. Outstanding in their play Saturday were Verl Scott, immovable Big Red linebacker, and Dan Brown, a rapidly im proving sophomore secondary defender. Many were of the opinion that Kansas outplayed Nebraska, but look at the statistics. Kansas had IS first downs, Nebraska 10. The Huskers gained 206 yards on the ground and seven passing for a ! total of 213 yards ard Kansas gained 114 yards on the ground and 100 passing for a total of 214 yards. The Jayhawks fumbled 6 timet and Nebraska only four. Here was the difference. Reflections ... v One of the most amazing performances of the 1952 football sea son was put on by Gil Reich in the last five minutes of the game. The way he handled and passed the soaked pigskin was a sight to see. . . Order on the field during Saturday's game was nil. Fans roamed the sidelines and players refused to be seated. Contrast this with the strict policing of the Memorial Stadium sidelines here at Nebraska and Ihe calm attitude of the Nebraska players. . .

Chuck Klasek Thanks to the tarpaulin (which, was used to cover the playing field before the rams) stacked on the track around the field, we were able to watch the fame and still keep fairly dry. It can not be den'ed that the drenching rain falling during: the last half of the game did not work to the advantage of Nebraska. Two costly fumbles by the Kansas backfleld late In the game set up the final NU score. As the gnme ended and a joyful Husker throng emerged on the muddy playing field, you could not help but notice one player on the Jayhawk bench a complete picture of dejection.

Powerful Missouri remained on top of the standing's with a win over Colorado down at the Mizzou campus. The Tigers have racked up an impressive 13 point defensive record in the Big Seven while garnering four straight wins. Three more upsets of Big Seven teams were going on at the same time while MU was romping over the Buffs. Oklahoma, the favorite for title honors, was beaten by Notre Dame in the game of the week, 27-21. The whole OU back field received recognition while playing at the powerful Irish camping grounds. Battered K-State was stunned by Wyoming as the Cowboys rolled up their fourth win in seven games, 20-7. The NU Huskers ruined Kansas' homecoming in a real thriller, 14- 13.

A fourth game readied the fraternity "B" tourney for its second round of action. The big news Friday was that It will be a re-match between the mighty Mustangs and scrappy Navy ROTC for the 1952 Independent gridiron crown. Both teams turned in impressive w-ins in their semi final contests Friday to gain the finals. Mustangs Roll The Mustangs ground out their ninth consecutive victory of the year, stopping the pesky Rockets by a 27-7 count. For the first time this year. It looked bad for the Mustanrs who went into the playoffs tied with Phi Kappa Psi as the top teams in the University. The Rockets stunned the small crowd of spectators who braved freez ing weather by striking for a second-quarter score to enjoy a 7-0 lead. It was the first time this season the Horsies had ever found themselves behind, in fact, they held the only un-scored-on mark in I-M play go ing into the semi-final battle. What made it even more glaTi 'orous for the Rockets was the fact jthat they played the entire first half with only six men and held complete control until the final minute before intermission. After a scoreless first-period that saw the Rockets putting on two sustained drives, carrying to the Mustang 35 and 30 before being stopped, the losers really began to roll. Two minutes deep in the second stanza they took over on their own 21 and began the drive that carried them to the first points scored on the Mustangs this ysar. i With Chuck Jensen and Hal An drews throwing the leather, the Rockets ate up consistent yardage and seven plays later they found themselves with a first down on the Mustang 27. The remaining yardage was gobbled-up fast as Andrews heaved a perfect strike to Rex Chichester who made an over-the-shoulder catch and out 'ran Mustang safety, Marv Green, the rest of the way. Andrews fired to Jensen for the seventh counter 'and the Mustangs knew they had U nme m thpir hand Realizing that allowing a score was not necessarily allowing a defeat, the Mustangs began to display their power. With one minute to go in the first half, they slashed 52 yards in three plays and then from the Rocket eight, Jack Mankamyer flipped the touchdown pass to Lowell Hoyt. The half ended 7-7 as Mankamyer tossed to Don Sum mers for the extra point. The Rockets didn't know It then,; and with the arrival of their seventh player they had high hopes, but it was all over. The favorites exploded for two tallies in the third period and added an- NU Riflers Defeat KU WilAiam Norris led the Corn husker marksmen to a narrow victory over the Kansas Jayhawk ers Saturday at Lawrence. Nor ris' 279 was high in the Husker's 1377 point total. Kansas tallied 1371 points. Ten men from each team shot, the five highest scores from each team were counted. Besides Norris' total, other Ne ibraska scores were: Paul Jordan, Take you pack a. U I ' bY Then a other In the fourth to wrap it up. Two plays netted the winning touchdown in the third stanza. Marv Green intercepted a Rocket aerial and returned to their 30 From there he rounded left end for 16 yards and then Mankamyer fired to Summers for the touch down. The same two combined on the fourteenth point. A minute later Summers In tercepted another Rocket toss and returned to the Rocket 29. Mankamyer passed 19 yards to Bob Green and after a five-yard penalty had set them back to the 15, Mankamyer hit Marv Green in the end-tone for the score. The final tally came after the Rockets gambled on fourth down on their own 13 and but 30 sec onds to play. Two quick plays lost six yards for the winners but Mankamyer made up the differ-'utes gone in the second period, ence on a touchdown aerial tojBaehman to Bob Brittin produced Summers and hit Bob Green for the extra point. A disputed play the final point. cancelled out an apparent Tau kirn,.. ML:-, ii n Iavy Wins, J I -U Navy ROTC turned in a Sur- prisingly easy 31-0 victory over tne joKers to advance to the finals The Middies, like the Rockets were one man short for most of the first half but with them it made little difference. Both outfits played without the services of their number-one men. Navy was minus Dick Grant who has passed to most of their scores this season while the jokers were without Bud Van Berg, their shifty, speedy sparkplug. Van Berg was evi dently missed the most. After a scoreless first quarter, the Gobs blew jopen with a : the game wide 25-point second IM Votes Due Balloting for the 1952 AII Star Intramural football teams has been slow, but steady the first week. Monday, the Sports desk had received 12 ballots for the coming selections, evenly divided with four from each di vision. All team managers are urged to get their ballots in immedi ately if they have finished play ing for the year. Teams should vote for a first and second team of opponents with three linemen and four backs to a team, but any number of votes up to 14 will be counted. stanza. Their first 18 points came while they still had but six men and when the seventh man ap peared, he didh't hurt their cause any. Larrv Dunn:ng took over the vacant passing chores for the Mid dies, firing for all tne TD's. tils first toss carried to Danny Switzer for five yards while Bob Peters eathered in the next two for 20 and five yards. Verone Gibb was on the scoring end of the lourtn second-period tally, another live- varder and Ken Lindberg passed to Dunning for the extra point just before the half. It took the Swabbies another full quarter to get worked up , again but In the final chucker 1 It was Dunning and Gibb again to close out the scoring. The finals will be the second meeting between the Mustangs and Navy. The Mustangs will be decided favorites considering their 32-0 romp in their first tussle.
