Freshmen Vie Infrasquad Game Test For Frosh Teams Divided; Meet Wednesday Nebraska's freshman football ers, eager for action after a four-week diet of daily drills, will have their first intra-squad game Wednesday afternoon. Memorial Stadium will be the site, provided the field is dry. In case of wet weather the con test will be moved to a practice field north of the Coliseum. Head Frosh Msntor Bob Faris says it's too early to comoare this year's crop with his 1952 squad. "BUT WE should, know by Nov. 1. After all. we'vn got to get these kids prepared to move into next year's vacant or weak varsity spots." "Right now we're be?t forti fied at ends and amonp the backs.

Inlys Sophomore End Had Been Recognized As Top Pass Nebraska football fortunes were flealt another severe blow Monday when Coach Bill Glass ford announced that Sophomore end Ralph Weddle had decided to turn in his uniform. Weddle disclosed that he had too many family obligations to continue in the game. Weddle's loss hits the Huskers at a very weak spot. The end po sition has been one of the Husker Boss's main troubles for more than two years. Andy Loehr's return to duty over two weeks ago alleviated the situation temporarily, but Weddle's loss puts NU back in the weakened, position. "THE WILDCAT club simply out-charged and out-fought us through the, entire game," said Yankees Win Series In Ninth The world classic of baseball was ended in classic form Mon day afternoon as the New York Yankees won the sixth and cru cial game, 4-3. The victory in this series gave Casey Stengel and his ball play ing charges a record shattering fifth straight world champion ship. No other major league club has ever come close to the rec ord. THE SIXTH' and deciding game of the series started as a replica of the first game with Carl Erskine, workhorse of the Dodger mound crew, doing the pitching, and the bases loaded with Yankees, and series hero, Billy Martin at the plate. As in the first game, Martin delivered by driving in a run to put the Yanks ahead by 2-0. Woodling scored the first run on Berra's ground rule double into the stands. THE NOW World Champs ex ploded for another marker in their half ,of the second inning with Rizzuto doing the scoring after Woodlings fly to left. After the first two innings. Erskine settled down to hold the New Yorkers scoreless. WHitey Ford, on the hill for the Bronx Bombers, held the Bums at bay until the sixth inning. Robinson set up the scoring by doubling off the barrier in the left field corner stole third without drawing a throw as Yankee Third sacker Gil Mc Dougald was caught rapping. Campanella hit a slow roller to Rizzuto and Robinson scored. : THE GAME proceeded toward an anti-climactic finish as both hurlers, Allie Reynolds for the Yanks and Clem Labine for the Dodgers, mowed down the op posing batsmen in the methodi cal fashion. Then the hectic ninth inning rolled around. With one out in the Brooklyn half of the ninth, Duke Snider drew a base on balls. ' Furillo then worked Reynolds to a 2-2 count before clouting his game busting homer into the lower deck of the stands to knot the score for the first time in the game. Joy reigned in Flatbush mo mentarily for their beloved Bums had come through in the clutch. Reynolds retired the side in easy order. Ex-Huskers Doing Well In Play For Pay Circuit Three former Husker linemen are making a good showing in the pro grid circuits this season. Charlie Toogood is in his third year with the Los Angeles Rams.

The Husker mentor hinted at wholesale position changes, but said he would announce these at a later date. With Don Glantz on the shelf with a badly wrenched neck and Bordogna possibly missing Saturday's ac tion against Pitt, Glassford must make changes in his starting eleven. KANSAS STATE'S perform ance against NU was a real bombshell. This was the worst licking a Wildcat team has ever administered to a Cornhusker squad. The Nebraska team hit the bottom in the conference stand ings so far as total won and lost games are concerned. Nebraska has won none, lost two and tied one. The mighty Oklahoma Sooners are above the Huskers. Their record reads a slim won none, lost one and tied one. THE SOONERS however are expected to walk away with the Big Seven conference. Saturday's whitewashing of Nebraska marked the first time a Bill Glassford squad had been mesmerized by a loop foe since Oklahoma's 27-0 victory on Sat urday, Nov. 24, 1951, in Lincoln. Bill Meek's squad played in spired ball to turn the trick against a sluggish bunch of Cornhuskers last Saturday. Pitt, Nebraska foe this Satur day, came back after bowing to West Virginia to tie Oklahoma's Sooners, 7-7, In the lone non conference skirmish of the day. MISSOURI LIVED up to ad vance expectations by tripping the Colorado Buffs, 27-6 and Kansas won its first ball" game of the season by knocking down Iowa State, 23-0. This week the Jayhawks travel to Boulder and the Buffs will have to win this one to stay in the race. Kansas State will get the nod over the Cyclones of Iowa State. Oklahoma faces another tough foe this week in the Texas club. The Longhorns were upset by LSU 20-7, in their opener, but since then the Texans have won . two straight. OKLAHOMA GETS the nod even with its two defeats. The Sooners simply have played stiffer competition in Pittsburgh and Notre Dame. Missouri hopes to atone for last years loss as the Tigers meet SMU in Dallas Friday night. Corky Taylor's touchdown against the Huskers and hisv scaniper for an extra point shot him into the individual scoring lead in the Big Seven last week with a total of 25 points. Another Wildcat, Veryl Swit zer, is in the runnerup position with 18 points. Bob Smith, right half, leads the Husker scoring with two TP's good for 12 points. Students Celebrate 'Cat Win Over Cornhuskers The Kansas State student body took advantage of Satur day's Wildcat football win over Nebraska, their first since 1949, by going on a fun-raising spree. A day without classes as the result of a win is a rarity at Kansas State, but classes were dismissed Monday because of the upset win over the Huskers. The spree proclaimed that the football famine at Kansas State had ended. The next football foe for the Wildcats is Iowa State. 0 PAKTlMi tH( W 'Stint I HE W J kmnm Ml ""WO tVO-ClT they all made the Little Guy a Big, Big Wheel AND THEN y llL y d.
