From The Sidelines
Season Successful;
All Standings
Glenn Nelson
The Cornhusker football team, which finished off Its schedule
Saturday at Norman when they absorbed a 84-13 defeat from
mighty Oklahoma, have definitely had a successful season for 1952.
Improved Record
Coach Bill Glassford's team, tied for fifth and sixth with Kan
sas State In last year's final standings, has come a long way since
that dismal season of last year which is rated as the worst In
Cornhusker history. The Buskers had a one win, four losses and one
tie conference record and a 1-8-1 all-game record last year. They
were last in Big Seven standings according to their win-loss show
ing In all games.
But the standing: this season are naturally 11L
more pleasing to view. The NU team Is third sr""
In the conference standing's with a 3-2-1 ree- I
plenty respectable, considering they came out
above the Kansas Jaj hawks and Colorado Buf
faloes In the leagpe.
Missouri Loss Costly
One game which meant a lot to the Nebraska
outcome was the Tigcr-Husker tussle in Lincoln
X. ... 1 .. . V. 4 W - T: A 1.... A. 1
pull a 10-6 upset win out of the fire. That game, s 1?
it is agreed by almost all NU followers, was the v
poorest exhibition of offense which Nebraska Nelson
showed all season. Despite the strong Missouri defense, the Huskers
fhould have been able to push the ball across on several occasions
when good breaks were plentiful.
Had the crackerjack Tig-er team not caught the Huskers nap
ping, Nebraska's record might have been good enough to land a
second place In the conference. But after looking at Missou 's
win record seeing a team move from seventh to second in one
year while defeating top-notch opponents one can't help, but ad
mire the MU climb up the ladder.
Jay Power Gone
The Kansas Jayhawkers, who two weeks ago proudly held
down fifth place in the nation according to Associated Press rat
ings, hover near a tie for fourth and fifth in the Big Seven final
standings. The KU club has three wins and three ties, while Color
ado has a 2-2-2 record. Iowa State and Kansas State, who battled
for last place honors Saturday, had no wins recorded on either slate
going into the fray at Manhattan. The Cyclones poured on a 27-0
assault of the K-Staters to stay off the bottom.
Reynolds Misses Finale
Bobby Reynolds, who during his sophomore and Junior sea
sons played his best games against the Okiahomans, was side
lined from Saturday's game because of a charley-horse which de
veloped in practice last week prior to the Sooner contest. Her
alded an All-America halfback In 1950 as a sophomore, Rey
nolds has been hobbled by several different injuries during the
past two seasons. He is the only senior squad member in the of-
fensive backfield.
Salute To Seniors
Seven other Huskers saw action for the last time against the
Sooners. They were linemen Kay Curtis, Carl Brasee, Ed Husmann,
Don Boll, George Prochaska and Verl Scott, and defensive half
back Jim Sommers. Halfback Jim Levendusky and center Dick
Goll will also be graduated from the squad this year,

Tassel Carnival" after the Indiana-Nebraska
football game.

Bud Wilkinson's powerful Ok
lahoma Sooners, led by the super
ior ball-handling of quarterback
Eddie Crowder and the hard-run
ning of Billy Vessels, captured
their fifth consecutive Big Seven
crown Saturday by unleashing a
devastating ground-attack to grind j
past Bill Glassford's Nebraskn
Cornhuskers 84-13.
It was the home finale for the
Sooners and they made it a
glorious ending by ripping the
rugged Husker line for 849
yards. Time after time Vessels,
fullback Buck McPhall and
halfback Merrill Green tore
apart the Nebraska forward
wall with their explosive run
ning. Vessels, a strong All-American
candidate, got the Big Red off
to a fast start when he crashed
cff-tacklo for seven yards with
5:03 gone in opening quarter. A
40-yard aerial from the decep
candidate, got the Big1 Red off
tive Crowder to Green highlighted
the 59-yard march. It was the
first of three Oklahoma touch
downs in the first period.
With 6.83 left Green e'rc'ed
left end for six yards to climax
a 42-yard drive. Again It was
Crowder, after faking a hand
off to McPhall, passed from the
Nebraska 42 to Vessels who
fought his way to the 19,'Green,
Vessels and McPhall then lug
ged It to the six where Green,
went the rest of the way. Mc
Phall then booted the first of
his four extra points.
Vessels, who tallied three
the opening stanza, but got things
moving in the second quarter as
they uncorked a 70-yard drive
that resulted in a Cornhusker
touchdown.
Fine running by John Bor
dogna, George Clfra, Jim Ceder
dahl and Bob Smith paved the
way for the initial Husker tally.
Smith, who racked up his first
touchdown of the year, ran
around left end tor eight yards
with 1:23 remaining in the half. I
Dierks Ralston, the pint-sired
braska touchdown early In th
final quarter on a rather weird
play.
With the ball on the Sooner
21, Clfra broke through Use cen
ter to the 18 where lie fumbled;
but the alert Ralston snatched
the ball out of the aid and rae4
across for the six points. Dennis
Kerlnek then booted the point.
The touchdown came after an
other ?t-yard drive.
Oklahoma, sticking to the
Student Directories were put on
sale at the end of October in 1937
at 50 cents each. Directories total-touchdowns picked up his second

Defensive Leader
lalfback, picked up the other Ne- ground in the second half, scored
ineir oiner two toucnuuwiii in uiv
third quarter. McPhail smashed
eight yards for the first counter
and Vessels closed out the Sooner
scoring by wiggling his way
through the Nebraska team for
26-yards.
As the game neared its end, the
Cornhuskers staged a last ditch
bid for a third touchdown. With
22 seconds left Ray Novak
passed from his 41 to Emil Radllc
who got to- the 15. A few plays
later with the ball on the eight
and time for only one play, Bor
dogna overshot Novak in the end
zone.

Phillips Oilers
To Play At NU
Basketball fans who would like
to start their season watching first
class teams in action, have a real
treat in store for them.
The Kelly-Ryan team of Blair,
Nebraska, in an exhibition basket
ball game cn Wednesday night,
Dec. 3, in the University of Ne
braska Coliseum.
The Phillips team is com
posed of many men who repre
sented the United States In last
summer's Olympic games. It
boasts such stars as Clyde
Lovellettee who last year was a
unanimous All-American chice
as a Kansas University senior
and who did much to spark the
Olympic team to its wonderful
championship.
Lincoln fans will get full sat
isfaction in seeing two former
Nebraska greats in action with
the Oilers. Bus Whitehead and
Bob Pierce are both cavorting in
Phillips togs this year and their
return to the Nebraska maples
should bring back many fond
memories for Nebraska basketball
fans.
The Kelly-Ryan team is com
posed of Nebraska college stars
and last year was In the thick
of the regional competition for
an AAU berth. Their coach, Erv
Peterson, has expressed the
opinion that his team "will give
Phillips a good game."
Tickets are now on sale at
sporting goods stores in Lincoln
and several other points. There
is only one ticket price, $1. The
game is being sponsored by the
Lincoln Junior Chamber of Com
merce.
They really went to town in that
four-minute interval, however,
and wrapped up the game with an
11 point outburst to lead at the
three-quarters mark, 28-14.
The Fijis closed fast, but could
not overtake the winners who
counted on free throws to main
tain their margin.
Al Blessing led the Taus' and
the game's scorers with 13 point
ers while Bob Oakes contributed
another ten, eight of them com
ing in that big third quarter. Ed
Schmitt topped the Phi Gam ef
forts with eight points.
Kappa Sigma Soars
Kappa Sigma pulled away in
the second half of their opening
contest with Phi Delta Theta to
win, 30-23. The first half was
close all the way with the win
ners owning 6-3 and 13-12 mar
gins at the rest periods.
Ed Berg topped the evening's
scorers with 12 points to lead the
Kappa Sigs to victory. Lou Roper
took top honors for the Phi Delts
with seven counters.
Betas Romp
Beta Theta Pi withstood a vic
ious third-period attack by Delta
Upsilon and then turned on the
power in the final chucker to drop
the DU's, 40-28.
Leading 21-11 at halftime, the
Betas saw the DU's fight to
within four points in the third
frame that ended 30-26. Only a
pair of free throws by DU Tom
Cowan were registered in the
losers' column after that, how
ever, and the Betas were in.
Tom Harrington produced 18
points for the Beta outfit to lead
