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

"BUT WE should, know by

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

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.

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.
