A defensive team showing of the Huskers, comparable to the migh ty Huskers of old, that held the Wildcats three times inside the four yard line proved the Huskers might under the tutelage of able Head Coach Bill. Jennings. The Scarlet ripped off its first touchdown when Dick Corbin, Kan sas S t 8 t e's quarterback, was was rushed back to his own 15 yard line and threw the ball wild ly which landed in the arms of Charlie Smith who was making his varsity debut as a Cornhusker quarterback. Charlie pirated the aerial on the K-State 30 and raced 15 yards for the Husker squad and on the third play after Smith's thievery Fullback George C i f r a bowled his way through a host of Kansas State tacklers for 10 yards and the first Nebraska touchdown. Dick Prusia kicked the extra point to give the Cornhusker team a 7-0 advantage at the end of the second chapter of the ball game. The third period of the game brought new life into the Wildcats, when, after many dismal aerial they finally connected on one to match the Huskers' scoring. With a fourth down and 17 to go on the Husker's 33, Quarterback Dick Cor bin hit Halfback Keith Wilson who had slipped past Doug Thomas, Wil son grabbed the ball on the 11 yard line of Nebraska and dashed into the Scarlet's end zone for a quick Wildcat' one yard line where Wildcats in front of the Huskers srjeedv Bennie Dillard was invited I n vy column except in the in k o,rtWk Harrv Tollv to W tercepted passes, punting and fum the pigskin over for the honors. As the whole Kansas State line rushed to the middle of the line to stop oncoming George Cifra, Harry Tolly keenly slipped the ball into the arms of Dillard on the three yard line.

Four times the Nebraska line held inside their own four with only a one touchdown edge over the opponents. The "cats" moved the pigskin to the Husker four and for the next four plays only netted a total of two yards. Doug Thomas squelched a bid coming around the left end and Bill Hawkins flattened the rush around the right end on the very next play. From there the Scarlet took over the ball and punted it out of dan ger but the Wildcats came roaring back to again threaten the Ne braska lead, but a fumble and a Nebraska recovery set the ball once again in the hands 01 tne Jennings crew.

The Scarlet roared back, how ever, to regain the lead and lost no time in doing so. Doug Thom as roared the kickoff back to the centerfield stripe where Sandage and Jerry Brown took over the ball lugging chores. Brown displayed his All-Big Seven form when he lunged for seven yards and Gene San dage scooted around the end with more than enough O 1 O C K 1 n g Courtesy Lincoln Journal in front of him Jennings to the 22 yard line. A few plays later showed the Huskers on the bles lost columns. The final score did not promise any Orange Bowl trips to the Huskers but it did provide a winning spirit which pre- valed in the dressing room after the game. Gene Sandage provided Nebras ka with the highest rushing aver age of 4.3. Gene carried the ball 11 times and covered 48 yards in his 11 tries. Cifra followed Sandage with a 4.1 carrying aver age in 25 yards earned in six at tempts. The Husker punting was another factor figuring in the Scarlet win. Jerry Brown quick-kicked 56 yards to the Kansas 18 yard line. In six efforts Harry Tolly had a 41.8 average while Roy Stinnett punted the ball a commendable 41 yards. Although the Nebraska team looked like a much improved team in comparison with their first two outings Coach Bill Jennings would not promise anything. Smiling for the first time this fall, Bill commented after the final gun: "Our boys fought hard. That is what we asked them to do and they did it." "They won this for themselves." There were four players on the injured list who failed to see any action in the Kansas State game, three halfbacks and an end. These were Halfbacks Carroll Zaruba, left at home; Larry Na viaux and Leo George, who made the trip, and end Marlin Hilding, also in the party. Injured Jerry Wheeler entered the game only on one play, the kick-off alter the second Nebraska i touchdown. The halfback situation was so critical that Gene Sandage, a key figure in the Scarlet triumph, was forced to remain in the game all but four plays. ,iKMMH., , (. m &.VJM.-M- Mean alH ' !'

The blow climaxed the fourth game of the series and evened it up at two games for each of the two clubs. The hard hitting third baseman, Mathews, had only one previous hit in the series and that was a key double earlier in the game. His long blast scored Johnny Lo gan ahead of himself and the Brave's fans went wild. They had seen their home town favorites come from behind for a 7-5 win over the New York Yankees. Pinch hitter Nippy Jones started the rally when he was nicked by a Tommy Byrne curve ball. Then Felix Mantilla ran for Jones and Bob Grim came to the mound for the Yankees. Red Schoendien5.t sacrificed and Logan plated Man tilla with his game tying doubls to set up the dramatic blow. The Yankees had taken a tem porary lead in the top half of the tenth inning when Hank Bauer tripled home Tony Kubek with two ! out.

In the second quarter, with OU leading 19-0, Nichols pitched to Gale Gibson for yards and a score.

The New Yorkers took a 1-0 lead in the first inning but the S p a h n-Tom Sturdivant pitching duel was broken up in the fourth when the big Brave bats began to boom. Sturdivant walked Loiian to start the uprising and then Mathews doubled.
