Erway Paces Husker Team
in 16-0 Biq Seven Tilt
By MAX KREITMAN
Staff Sports Writer
Capitalizing on two fumbles and
pass interference play the Ne
braska Cornhuskers rode home
from their first triumph of the
1955 season, a 16-0 decision over
the Kansas State Wildcats. Being
the first win 6? the season it was
also first conference victory. It
was the Wildcats third loss of the
season.
Both the Huskers and KS played
in mid-field throughout the first
half. Nebraska got as far as the
Wildcats five, only to have a clip
ping penalty halt the dnve. Both
teams retured at halftone dead
locked, 0-0.
With 1:23 left in the third per
iod, Nebraska broke the ice scoring
with Don Erway going over from
the two. The drive began on the
Buskers 22. George Cifra made
16 and Rex Fischer 10 to the NU
48. On third down, Erway hit Wil
lie Greenlaw with a 40 yard pass
play to the Wildcat 10. Three
plays took Nebraska to the host's
six where the Huskers were faced
with a fourth down situation. With
NU facing the last down situation,
the play that could well have been
the turning point of the ballgame
took place. Erway's pass to Green
law went astray, but a pass inter
ference was called on K-State, and
Nebraska had "an automatic first
down on the Wildcats four. Three

plays later Erway tallied. The
PAT was good, and the third per
iod ended 7-0.
In the fourth quarter, the Husk
er hiked their lead to ten points
when Erway booted a 30-yard field
goaL Three minutes later NU
brought the scoring to a halt when
the Wildcats fumbled on Nebras
ka's three. Erway again went for
the TD.
With hl performance Saturday,
Erway took over the scoring lead
in the Big 7 with 24 points. Okla
homa's Jim McDonald is second
with 18 points. Statistically the
game was very even with NU out
rushing the Wildcats by only 27
yards. However, Nebraska com
pleted four out of 10 passes for 77
yards, while the Kansans failed
to complete one aerial in 11 at
tempts. This Saturday the Huskers
are home against the Texas A&M
Aggies, before going on the road
against Pittsburgh and Missouri on
successive week-ends.

Cross-Country
Team Preps
Frank Sevigne's University of
Nebraska cross country squad is
working over a aew three-mile
coarse which the Husker coach has
laid out around Oak Creek Lake.
The Huskers are preparing for
a four-meet schedule. Bob Elwcod
of Red Oak, la., has been pacing
the field in the early trials. Elwcod
is a sophomore.
Others on the squad include Hugh
Osmera, Lexington; Bob Ander
sen, West Point; Lee Carter, Blair
and Duane Everson of Grand Is
land. More runners win report this
week. Coach Sevigne has issued a
can for an track men interested
in competing in any of the indoor

From The Presshox
"Wen," a fan remarked after the K -State game Saturday, "I guess
we're going to have to put the 'Goodbye, Bin posters in storage for
a couple of weeks anyway."
Two or three or four or five weeks until the Huskers lose their
next game win probably be exactly how long the posters and th
accompanying denunciation of BiU Glassford wiU
stay in storage.
And, I imagine, just about the time the Huskers
lose their next ball game the sports scribes win
unlimber their journalistic sledgehammers and
begin hammering merrily away again.
Glassford is not unused to this sort of treat
ment. As a big time coach he. realizes both he and
his team live in a glass box which is never im
mune from criticism.
Moreover, he fully knows that this win be a
bumper year for brickbats and slingshots because
of the five year contract which expires this year
and the five year option which he can take or leave.
successful under fire . . .
In fact, Glassford has been much more successful than most coaches
in weathering the fire under which aU are placed. He told one of his
players that he followed only two simple rules when placed under
heavy criticism.
1. Keep your mouth shut. CYou only put your foot in it if you an
swer an charges piled against you.)
2. Never alibi. (Your friends dont need them. Your enemies wont
believe them.)
Through it an so far, the Hawaii defeat, the Orange Bowl debacle
and the player revolt two years ago. this simple phUosophy has held
our coach in good stead and has done him credit as a coach and a man.
However, the worst is yet to come.
AH three of Nebraska's large dailies, the Omaha World-Herald,
the Lincoln Journal and the Lincoln Star appear to be lined up solidly
against iiiassiora.
Bruggemana
the Bobsey twins
Don Bryant and Dick Becker, the Bobsey twins of the Lincoln
press, have been taking sly pokes at Glassford for some time. In a
typicany objective article two weeks ago, Bryant, the sports editor
of the Star, decrying the low state of Nebraska footbaH, concluded
by saying, "Nebraska footban has become a laughing matter, which
has long ceased to be funny."
Becker, sports editor of the' Journal, has not been as outwardly
critical of Glassford, but be nevertheless has written several pieces in
which "the disintegration of fee Husker footban machine" and "What's
Wrong With Nebraska Football?" was discussed.
The Journal and the Star both appear to want no part of Glassford.
most interesting
The most interesting of the three papers, however, is the editorial
position of the World-Herald.
Long a partisan of Glassford, they came cut Sept. 22 in a lead
editorial which asked that the NU coach, because of nrevious trmihW
both with fans and players, "resign gracefully at the end of the season.
This was an obvious reversal of editorial policy which had sinv
ported Glassford for years, particularly during the player revolt in 1353.
Shortly afterward, the Herald announced that Floyd Olds, fee sports
editor who had been with the paper for 23 years, had resigned. The
reversal in policy was, apparently, a contributing factor to Olds
resignation. .
The Nebraskan doesn't care if every paper in the state is against
Glassford. Nor does it care if the Star, Journal or the Herald is dead
set against him. However, in the interests of fair play,. , journalism
ethics aad just plain decency, we would like to ask three things.
all we ask . .
1. THAT THERE EE NO DISTORTION OF THE REGULAR
SPORTS STORIES IN SYMPATHY WITH A "GET RID OF GLASS
FORD" EDITORIAL POLICY. .
Comments such as "BuCding foreman Bin Glassford ... Nebras
ka's Hamlet-cpoting footban coach, Thursday got around to announc
ing the probable starting lineup. . . . NU Building Boom a Bust" have
no place in the headlines or sports stories of reputable newspapers.
AH opinion and editorial comment, as infantile as it often is, must
be reserved for the by-lined columns and editorial page. This is just
plain, good journalism, but we thought weVe seen so little of it lately
on the sports page that we thought we'd mention it.
2. THAT ABUSIVE CRITICISM OF GLASSFORD AND TEAM
WATT UNTIL THE END OF THE SEASON. This sort of criticism can
do no one any good now.
3. THAT THE PAPERS, WHETHER THEY CHANGE OR NOT,
AT LEAST REEXAMINE THEIR EDITORIAL STAND ON BILL
GLASSFORD.
Reexamine it, as the Nebraskan itself r3 and as is ocly fair, in
the light of what happens this season, Glassford's present popularity
with his players and the obligation the University and the state have
in honoring Glassford's option if he decides to take it.
An we ask of you, Bin Glassford, is that you keep on coaching
footfosn as you have so far this season. And keep your two rules of
philosophy handy. YouTl probably need them.
AH we ask of you, Huskers of "55, is that you keep on playing
footban as you did against Ohio State and Kansas State.
An we ask of you, fellow compatriots in the newspaper Industry,
is that you give our coach and his team a sporting chance.
Everyone would appreciate it.
WonderM things happen when yea wear it!
