Season's Early Upsets
Change Ooivf Pictures

Sports Staff Writer
Entering its third week of competition, the 1954 football cam
paign has gotten off to a fast start. Already the season has found
a number of unexpected upsets. Last Saturday, underdog Purdue
toppled the powerful Notre Dame eleven 27-14' in a big surprise.
Army, bowing to South Carolina in an upset two weeks ago, came
back to pull a minor upset over the Spartans of Michigan. Also
Stanford, who upset Oregon two Saturdays ago pulled another sur
prise by downing the highly-rated Illinois squad 12-2. Another under
dog, Ohio State, pulled a surprise in dropping the California Golden
Bears.
The Big Ten conference will be wide open this year. As of now
It shapes up as a battle between Iowa, Purdue, and Wisconsin. The
Illini, though losing their first two games, could very well be an
outside chance this year. Their team as a whole is experienced, and
their backfield features two of the nation's finest runners, J. C.
Caroline and Mickey Bates. Wisconsin, winner over Marquette and
Michigan State, has the strong running of All-American Allan (the
Horse) Ameche in the backfield. The Hawkeyes, who were rated
second in the conference in pre-season polls, showed fine strength
in downing Michigan State and Montana. Purdue, rated to finish no
stronger than ninth in the conference, downed Missouri 31-0 in their
opener and followed with a surprising win over N.D.
UCLA Again?

in the pre-season select. is. The Calif ornians feature the passing
arm of Paul Larson. Last year, he led the team in total offense.
Though " losing All-American Paul Cameron, the U.C.L.A. eleven
boasts a top team with Primo Villanueva, who understudied Cameron
last year, pacing the backs. Stanford, rated no better than sixth,
has shown fine form in downing Oregon and Illinois. The Webfoots
were rated high in the P.C.C. while Illinois was rated tops in the
Big 10. Though losing the nation's leading passer in Bobby Garrett,
coach Chuck Taylor put together a fast backfield and big line. The
University of Southern California will be in contention for top

team to beat for the title. However, the Sooners will be ineligible for
the Orange Bowl, which will make second place the important spot
this year. In that position, it is probably on the shoulders of three
teams, Colorado, Missouri, and K-State. The Wildcats were beaten
by Missouri last Saturday, which makes Nebraska's win over I-State
an important one. Of these three elevens, Colorado and Missouri seem
the strongest. The Tigers, badly beaten, by Purdue in their opener,
have come on strong and blasted Kansas State 35-7. The Tigers
employ an experienced line and a veteran backfield. The Golden
Buffs, on the other hand, smacked the Kansas Jayhawks 27-0 to
move into a first place tie. The Buffs' backfield of Carroll Hardy,
Frank Bernardi, and Homer Jenkins, rates with the best in the
conference and their defense is top flight as in their first three
outings, Colorado has yet to be scored on. K-State, with Bill Meek
at the helm for the second year, had their best season in 1953, win
ning six of ten outings and finishing in a tie for second in the
league. This season the Purple and White were expected to continue
their fine record. They triumphed over Wyoming and Colorado A&Ut
in their first two contests, but ran into difficulties last week as
Mizzou pounded them. Corky Taylor, All-American candidate, is
their top backfield threat, with the line experienced from last year.
The Cornhuskers looked like a. different team in downing the
'Cyclones and served notice that they could be trouble. The second
eleven proved themselves and added much strength to Coach Bill
Glassford and Co. Iowa State and Kansas seem almost out of the
running for any honors. The Jayhawks are starting their season
under a new coach, Chuck Mather. As to date they have failed to
win in three outings. I-State, under rookie Vince Di Francesca,
has failed in two attempts, but has looked fair.
. N.D, Conquered Texas
In the Southwest conference, Texas is the team to beat. The
Longhorns bowed to Notre Dame, 21-0, and beat Louisiana State
and Washington State. Rice, S.M.U., and T.C.U. are also in con
tention for representation in the Cotton,Bowl.
In the Southeastern Conference, West Virginia and Furman will
be the two contenders. In the Atlantic Coast Conference, Maryland
and Duke will be the two top teams. The Terapins have dropped
Kentucky and lost to U.C.L.A. 12-7. Duke conquered Pennsylvania and
Tennessee. . .
Down in the Deep South, Georgia Tech and Georgia will be the
two kingpins. The Engineers, though losing All-American Leon Harde
man, have a good line led by All-America center Larry Morris. The
Missouri Valley conference should be taken by Oklahoma A&M with
Wyoming winning the Rocky Conference. ;

Elusive Runner
Dennis Korinek, senior from
Ulysses and last year's leading
ground gainer, regained his old
form and literally ran circles
around the Iowa State Cyclones
last Saturday. Denny led the
NU groundgainers last Saturday
with a 17.0 average per carry.
A beautiful seventy yard run, set
off by some fine downfield block
ing was Denny's top gain of the
day.

Intramural Football Rules
Explained For Competitors
The 1954 intramural football
season has officially opened at the
University of Nebraska, and with
it will come a few changes in the
rules. Team captains are advised
to read this column carefully, and
to keep it for future reference.
A must for each competing
team, is the filling out of the score
sheet. Team captains or mana
gers must fill put the score
sheets used in touch football, writ
ing or printing each player's first
and last games. Teams failing to
fill out the score sheet properly
will have their games forfeited.
The score sheets are used to write
up the intramural games in the
Nebraskan: At the end of each
game the officials in charge will
check each score sheet and then
io-n it.
All games will be played at one
f two places. They will either be
played on the new intramural
fipiH. located at 14th and Vine, or
on the Ag College Campus. The
playing fields are 80 yaras in
length, with four zones of 15 yards
each between the goal lines and

This is Brown's third year on
the Nehraska VflrsitV. He first
lettered in 1952, when, as a sopho
more, he was first string defensive

A so-called "second unit" led
their first win of the 1954 football
season. The Huskers rolled by
the Cyclones from Iowa State to
the tune of 39-14.
Long runs seemed to be the
order of the day as only one of
the Huskers six touchdowns came
from inside the 10-yard line.
After the Cyclones had taken a
7-0 lead, Nebraska came back and
scored on a nifty 45-yard pass,
Don Erway to Willie Greenlaw. At
the half the score stood tied, 7-7.
Iowa State once again scored
first in the third quarter, but from
then on in, it was all Nebraska.
Ten plays and 62 yards later, Ne
braska had its second TD with
Erway going the last three yards
to paydirt.
A Cyclone fumble ' set up the
third touchdown with Dennis Kori

put the Cornhuskers aheaa tor tne
first time in the same.

Dan quarterbacked the football
team, played guard in basketball,
and was a top-notch second base
man on the baseball team. As a
senior, he was named to the State
Tournament All-Stars, an honor
equivalent to being all-state here
in Nebraska.
Brown savs that he prefers foot
ball slightly dver the other sports,
hut usually his favorite is the
sport that is in season.
In rerjlv to the question, "What
was your greatest thrill in college
football?" Dan said. "I believe
that could be one of two games;
either the 1952 game with OKla
homa or the Kansas game of the
same vear. Kansas was rated
about seventh in the nation, but we
upset them, 14-13
Brown contends that the toughest
lineman he ever played against
was Tom Catlui, Oklahoma's great
All-America center. Two other
All-Americans. Billy Vessels of
Oklahoma, and Paul Giel of Min
nesota, share honors as the best
backs Brown has opposed
Dan does not now participate in
any other intercollegiate athletics.

while, but decided to give it up in
favor of football.

til the last ten minutes the game
could have gone either way.
Alexander and Max Burkett were
outstanding for the Cyclones while
the defensive play of the Husker
centers and line backers was much
improved.
The two long runs by Willie
Greenlaw and Korinek were the
highspots of the game along with
the spectacular block of John Ed
wards which put Korinek in the
open on his seventy yard jaunt.

Saturday was another upset day
around the nation. Many favored
teams bit the dust in surprise de
feats, the greatest of which was
Notre Dame's loss to Purdue, 27-
14. In other upsets, Minnesota
romned to a 46-7 victory over Pitts
burgh, a team that is much better
than the score indicates; Army
continued its string over Michigan
with a 26-0 triumph; and Stanford
rose up to deal Illinois its second
upset defeat of the season, 12-2.
In the Big Seven, Nebraska
erupted in the fourth quarter to
rout Iowa State, 39-14; Colorado
blanked Kansas, 27-0; and Missouri
dumped Kansas State, 35-7.
There was widespread action in
the Big Ten. In addition to the
upsets mentioned earlier, Indiana
routed College of the Pacific, 34

48-6; Ohio State slid past Califor
nia, 21-13; Southern California de
feated Northwestern, 12-7; and

The Phi Gams iust couldn't get
in gear as they were smothered
hv Phi Psi tasses of which four
led to touchdowns. Playing a ma
jor part in the Phi psi victory
were Gene Welch, team captain
Duane Rankin, and Phil HocKen-
berger.
One of the closer games of the
day was between the ATO's and
the Delts. The final score on this
one was Delta Tau Delta 14, ATO
7.
Delts Win
The first Delt T.D. came when
Dick Grant passed to Ray Mlado
vich. who went 60 yards for six
noints Grant was also doing the
flipping when he connected with
Dick Tooley for the extra point.
A short four yard pass from Grant
to Len Linderen accounted for the
second touchdown for the Delts.
On the try for the extra point it
was again Grant taking over the
passing chores, and hitting Mlado-
vich in the end zone
On the Tau side it was Bill
Weber flipping a 50 yard pass to
Boh Brown for their first six
Mints. The Doint after the touch
down was made when team cap
tain Rod Schroeder passed to
Norm Ford, to give them their
only score in the game
The Betas showed little defen
sive strength as the Sig Alphs
overpowered them 40-6. Pulling
off the best play of the game was
Joe Gifford who intercepted a
Beta pass and ran 60 yards for a
touchdown. At the nail it was zv-u
in favor of the Sig Alphs. The only
Beta score came in the fourth
quarter when Ken Morehead coa

HAVE YOU HEARD
What
Happened
When
The Siema Chis and Sig Eps
fought hard to a 0-0 score at the
half, but in the third quarter, the
Sig Eps scored a touchdown and
added the PAT to make the score
7-0 at the end of the third period.
Another two points for the Sig
Eps in the fourth and final period,
made the final score 9-0 in favor
of the Sig Eps.
Carter Scores Twice
Team captain Joe Carter,
showed his Phi Delt teammates
just how it was to be done as he
scored both T.D.'s for the Phi
Delts. Bill Krommenhoer scored
the lone touchdown for the DU's,
and the game ended 12-7, with the
Phi Delts out in front.
One "touchdown with the extra
point gave Farm House a 7-0 edge
over Sigma Nu. The scoring took
place in the second quarter of the
game, and after that neither team
was able to advance the ball far
enough for another score.
Alpha Gamma Rho held a slim
7-6 lead over Brown Palace at the
half, but in the third period,
Brown Palace scored seven points
and the final score was Brown
Palace 13, AGR 7.
Theta Xi took a forfeit victory
over Kappa Sig.
