underdogs in their homecoming
game Satur

pressive in
their giant
killer role at
L a w r e nee,
S a turday,
when they
upset KU's
hopes, 14-13,
it is cractic-
ally impossible to rate them as
favorites over mighty Minnesota
this week.
The Buskers cannot be taken
lightly y the Golden Gophers,
who acknowledge their win over
the powerful Kansas club, which
ranked seventh in the nation
last week according to the Asso
ciated Press.
Minnesota,, now perched in
second position in Big Ten
standings, nearly defeated a
powerful Purdue eleven Satur
day before settling for a 14-14
tie. The Boilermakers currently
lead the Big Ten conference,
and are so far winning the bat
tle for the Rose Bowl offer.
In the last three weeks, the
Gophers have beaten Illinois
and Iowa and tied Purdue. They
led the Boilermakers 14-0 with
only five minutes left in the
game.
Four Huskers Lauded
End Dennis Emanuel, tackle
Jerry Minnick and guard Don
Boll, along with All - America
halfback Bob Reynolds, received
high praise by members of the
Associated Press for their play
against Kansas.
Reynolds' two perfect conver
sions were the game-winning fac
tors provided in the KU home
coming contest. The Rambler also
gained 81 yards on 19 carries to
lead all backs in rushing.

Nebraska's upset win last Satur-
day. Oklahoma's 27-21 setback by
Notre Dame lowered the Sooners
from fourth to eighth in the
standings, while the Irish jumped
from 10th to sixth.
Michigan State still ranks as
the leading team in the coun
try, with Georgia Tech and
Maryland pushing close at sec

week Maryland was In second

UCLA and Southern California,
the undefeated Pacific Coast pow

Nov. 22, in UCLA's final game.
Southern Cal plays at Notre

Purdue ranked 10th In the

Gophers, who outplayed the
Boilermakers in statistics be

The Mustangs and Navv ROTC
battled on even terms throughout
iour quarters Monday In the game
to determine the 1952 Independent
I-M football champion, but the
root caved m on the Middies in
the overtime yardage action and
the Mustangs walked off with the
title on a 7-6 tally.
The biggest upset of the cur
rent season was almost in fqe
making as Navy battered around
their heavily-favored foes for
the last three periods and nearly
won it all. The undefeated Mus
tangs carried a string of nine
straight victories Into the title
fray, including a lop-sided 32-0
regular-season win over the
same Gobs, but it took a terrific
burst of power in the overtime
to v drop Navy for the second
time.
The champions started out
strong and appeared certain to
make shambles of this contest too.
The first time they got the ball
they were goalward-bound. Tak
After stopping the fifth
straight Middie thrust, the Mus
tangs took over the ball on their
own 17 midway in the final
frame. Still trying to pad their
lead, they sent Mankamyer
back to pass, but this time out
of nowhere came Verone Gibb
who intercepted the pigskin on
the Mustang 24 and thundered
down the sidelines to the one
yard line where he was finally
stopped.
This time the Gobs were not to
be denied as Dick Grant bulleted
a perfect strike into the mfd-sec-tion
of a teammate just over the
goal and the count was knotted at
6-6. Tension grew by the second
as the vital extra-point attempt
was made, but Mustang Bob
Green sized the situation and bat
ted down Grant's pass.
Still, the Mustangs couldn't
move effectively. They garnered
one first down on .the next series
of plays and were stumbling at
midfield when the final whistle
sounded.

ling the pigskin on their 30, the their overtime performance. Tak

the rear with four and a half

Mankamyer's sharp pass to
Don Summers just slipped
through the receiver's fingers on
the extra-point attempt, but it
didn't seem important at that
time. The importance greatly
magnified as the game wore on.
That was the last outburst the
Mustangs were able to muster
during the regulation play. From
that point on, Navy took complete
control and continued to gain at

territory but bowed to superiority

There are still the favorites and
Underdogs in football games, but
the way the upsets have been roll-, f
ing in during this season any-J
thing is liable to happen mis
weekend.
This week's Big Seven spot
light will shine on the Oklahoma-Missouri
game which will
be played at Norman. The Soon

defeat in three seasons at te
hands of Nctre Dame, 27-21.

Aside from the usual bumps
and bruises, the Husker squad
is In good shape except for Jim
Yelsley. Yelsley didn't make the
trip to Kansas and is a doubt
ful participant against the
Gophers.
Glassford said that he has made
no changes in the lineup and
hinted that he would stick with
the same boys that started against
Kansas.
Movies of the Jayhawk tussle
continue to show that it is a tough
job to pick up yardage through

Ball control has been a big fac
tor in the Cornhuskers' success
this fall.
In eight contests, the Huskers
have run 602 offensive plays to
475 for their opponents.
Only Penn State, who downed
the Huskers, 10-0, and Kansas
have been able to keep control
longer than the Huskers.
The Nittany Lions had a 71-67
edge on offensive plays and Kan
sas, 72-59.
However, Penn State alone
has been able to outgain the
Scarlet. Nebraska outdistanced
the Lions, 180-130, on the
ground but were outpassed,
100-45.
Quarterback John Bordogna is
the first Cornhusker to pass the
1,000-yard offensive mark. Bor-
dogna's total is 1,023 yards, a net
of 495 yards rushing and 58
yards by passing.
. Bordogna's two touchdowns
against the 'Hawks shoved him
into fourth place among the
conference scorers. He has tal
lied eight TD's for 48 points.
Ray Novak is pacing the punt
ers with a 39.8 average on four
boots.

Philadelphia Drops
Lincoln Athletics
The Lincoln Athletics are look
ing for a new affiliation in the
majors.
The A's are without a sponsor"
because of the atcion taken by the
Philadelphia Athletics in dropping
the Lincoln club from its minor
league teams.
Local officials are trying to find
a new major league club which
will take the Lincoln affiliation.
Dlav that blew the game wide
open. With receivers all over the
field, Mankamyer chose to hurl to
Charles Smith and the play
chalked up 28 yards.
The second pass was just in
complete but it was practically
all over after the third pass.
This time Mankamyer spotted
Larry Schmidt downfield and
fired the pigskin. Schmidt gath
ered it in and raced all the way
to the goal to make it 60 yards
to the Mustang credit. Still, they
had one more try and taking
the ball back on their IS again,
the champions accounted for
another 25 yards with Mankam
yer and Smith combining.
So it stood at 85 yards In four
attempts for the champs, a new
intramural record, and a big
hurdle for the inspired Gobs.
Navy's try for glory lasted for two
more plays. C rant's first aerial
fell incomplete and his second
was intercepted by Mustang Hoyt'
and the game was over, the first
1952 champion crownea.
