Staff Sports Writer
I The University of Indiana, cel
lar dwellers of the Big Ten Con
ference, will invade Memorial Sta--ttium
tomorrow.
The Hoosiers, who have been
feeaten by Iowa, Notre Dame and
Michigan State in their first three
.contests this season, will be fight
ing desperately to hit the winning
trail.
Coach Bernie Crimmins, having
lost seven regulars by the gradu
ation route, is in the process of
febuilding his squad. Indiana is
strong at ends, center, quarter
back, and left halbcak but is very
weak at guards.
' Crimmins has a fine, veteran
passer in Quarterback Gene Chi
chowski, who can also run well, so
the Indiana offense will develop
Cff Cmchowski and option play:
tun, pitchout or pass. On the re
ceiving end of the passes there
are Brad Bomba, 214 pound let
terman and top end for the past
two years and 205 pounder Norm
Craft who was a reserve on the
1955 eleven.
The Hoosier defense leans heav
ily on 254 pound center Joe Am
tutt, who backs up the middle
of the line with amazing agility
for a man of his size. This sea
son's squad has plenty of spped
thanks to left halfback Willie
Jones. At 184 pounds, Jones can
really pick them up and lay them
down.
Mistakes have been the bane of
Hoosiers' existence thus far this
season. Their effect has been so
damaging in both offense and de
fense that Indiana has moved the
ball on the ground only 438 yards
to its opponents' 787 and scored
only 12 points while allowing an
even 100 to its foes.
"One of our major concerns is
getting that ball into the end zone
when we're in scoring territory,"
Crimmins said. "We had plenty
of opportunities against Notre
Dame but failed. Against Michi
gan State we made good on only
one of three long drives." Fum
bles cost dearly against Michi
gan State. The Spartans scored
three times on recovered fumbles
and once from a pass interference
penalty.
Indiana is particularly weak on
pass defense. Notre Dame found
the weakness for 11 of 20 attempts
for 153 yards while Michigan State

hit 10 out of 12 for 204 yards.
Although Nebraska is considered
primarily a running team, Hoosier
coaches expect to see the ball in
the air more frequently Saturday
in view of past opponents' success
at it.
Meanwhile Pete Elliott's Corn
huskers, now cast in a permanent
underdog role, are readying them
selves for one of their biggest
games of the season. In light of In
diana's first three opponents. Io
wa, Notre Dame and Michigan
State, the Cornhuskers know that
the Hoosiers are not as bad as
their record indicates.
The Big Ten breeds powerful
football squads and therefore any
one of the ten is tough no matter
what sort of a season it seems
to be having. The fact that Indi
ana is winless this season should
indicate that they will be out for
blood come kickoff time tomor
row.
Elliott has announced only one
change in his starting lineup, that
being Mike Lee sophomore right
end from Grand Island. Lee, who
was running with the second unit
against Kansas State, is swapping
places with Howie McVay. Accord
ing to Elliott, Cornhusker fans
should see a lot more of Frank
Nappi tomorrow. Nappi, an excel
days! S daysjldayx

Over
lent passer, has been running with
both the first and second units
this week.
Marlin Hilding will team with
Lee to man the starting end po
sitions. Hilding is the leading
Husker pass receiver with 5 catch
es for a total of 71 yards. The
first unit tackles, Jack Fleming
and Don Kampe, were singled out
by Elliott for outstanding work in
the aKnsas State game.
The center of the line will be
anchored by co-captains LaVerne
Torczon, Bob Berguin and Jim
Murphy. All three are rugged line
men and past recipients of Ne
braskan Star of the Week honors.
George Harshman, junior from
Dickerson Run, Pa. and hero of
the Iowa State contest, will open
at quarterback. Harshman, who
handled the club well last week,
shows signs of getting his seas
legs. The starting halfbacks will
be Bill Hawkins and Larry Navi
aux. Hawkins and Naviaux are
second and third in rushing with
231 and 223 yards respectively. Ne
braska's leading ground gainer
Jerry Brown will once again open
at fullback for the Huskers. Brown
has gained 247 yards in 36 carries
for an average of 6.7 yards per
carry.
Also expected to see much ac
tion against the Hoosiers are backs

Four Pick
If? $fuf?dQy's
The Nebraskan sports staff,
much improved in football forcast
ing over two weeks ago, are again
attempting to tab the winners of
twenty gridiron contests.
Last week, the staff had a corn-
posit average of .717 hitting on
86 out of 120 selections with 6 ties.
Walt Blore and Bob Wirz again
led the scribes in winners with
15 each while the other four tied
with 14 apiece. This puts Blore and
Wirz in the two week lead each
having 27 winners to the others 24.
The game of the we e k pits
Swathmore College against Ursi
nus. Swathmore was last year's
winner, 7-0 and rates as a slight
favorite by the Sports staff, The
game is certain to provide plenty
of excitement as Ursinus wants to
even things up.
Oklahoma is the overwhelming
favorite to down Kansas in their
Big Seven clash. The mighty Soon
ers haven't been scored upon this
season while racking up 167 points.
Kansas is given little chance to
even score let along come close
to giving the Nation's leading team
anything more than a good work
out.
Another Big Seven contest finds
Missouri at Kansas State. The Ti
gers figure to have too much pow
er for the Wildcats, despite the
Staters upset over Nebraska last
week. It's unanimous for Missouri.
Colorado is the staff's choice, in
their game with Iowa State. The
Buffs have too much reserve pow
er for the last place cyclones who
don't figure to rebound after their
heartbreaking losses to Nebraska
and Kansas.
In the Big Ten, Wisconsin en
tertains Purdue on their home
grounds, but the Badgers are go
ing to need more than a friendly

stadium to conquer the Boilmakers.
Purdue, led by Len Dawson,
should prove too much for Wis
consin, although an upset is in
the wind.
Minnesota and Illinois should be
another close one as both should
come back after poor play last
week. The staff thinks Minnesota
should come out on top in their
conference game.
Iowa should have little trouble
in handling Hawaii although upsets
are known to have happened with
this team.
Powerful Michigan, fresh from
their romp over Army, should push
Northwestern all over the field in
their Big Ten game.
Michigan State is favored by the
staff to give Notre Dame their
third beating of the year. The
Fighting Irish should make the
game quite interesting, however.
Traveling out to the West coast,
the big battle sees California tack
ling U.C.L.A. The Bears are fa
vored only slightly by the staff
as the Uclans are always tough
against them.
Stanford will try to keep their
Rose Bowl hopes alive as they
travel to Oregon for their game
with the Webfoots. The staff fa
vors Stanford in this PCC con
test. Down South, Miami is favored
to down Georgia in their intersec
tional contest. The Hurricanes are
unusually strong this year and j
figure to handle Georgia quite eas-1
ily. i
Jim Swink & Co. will probably
lead T.C.U. to victory over Texas
A.&M. This game might well turn
into the hardest battle of the day
as both teams are fighting na
tionally ranked and want the berth
in the Cotton Bowl.
Tennessee squares off against
Alabama in another close one. The
staff picks Tennessee to be victor
ious but watch for an upset.
Texas and Arkansas should pro
vide a few thrills with Texas fa
vored to come out on top. Another
upset could be in the wind as Ar
kansas played a powerful Baylor
team to a standstill before losing
14-7 last week.
Vanderbilt is highly favored to
down Florida in their battle. Van
dy has too much depth for the Ga
tors. The staff is divided on the Duke
vs. Pittsburgh contest. Both teams

are big and should provide quite t
game.
Houston is favored to down Ok
lahoma A&M on the strength of
their tie with powerful Texas
A&M. last week. The Cougars hav
to up again this week as the Ag
gies always give them a battle.
On the East coast, Harvard is
highly favored over a weak Co
lumbia team. Columbia lost sev
eral key men due to injuries last
week, while Harvard showed con
siderable power in their upset over
Cornell. Columbia will just have
to overcome too many obstacles to
even give Harvard a good game.
Here at home, the staff has
gone half and half in deciding
the Huskers' chances. Indiana will
be going for their first victory of
the year and they are fighting mad
after the pounding they took from
Michigan State. Likewise, Nebras
ka should be all hopped up from
last week's upset at the hands of
Kansas State. Take your pick.
