Migration Time:
buskers OH To Mizzou;
nee Again Underdogs
The Daily Nebraskan
Friday, October 25, 1957
By BOB MARTEL
Sportg Editor
There should be plenty of Ne
braska cheering Saturday when
the Cornhuskers take on the Mis
ouri Tigers at Columbia. This
. contest has been designated as
the migration game of the season.
A large number of students will
be making the trip to lend their
lupport to Bill Jennings' crew.
As far as football is concerned,
the Huskers enter their second Big
Eight tilt of the season , as 19 point
underdogs.
Clarence Cook is definitely out
of the contest. Dick Prusia, the
Husker handy man, will start at
right end. Jennings isn't expected
to name his starting quarterback
until game time. Roy Stinnett, who
played in most of the Syracuse
contest, is running with the num
ber one unit. Harry Tolly is now
available for limited action and
many get the starting nod.
Reserve quarterback Chuck
Smith is injured so Clyde Haskins
will make the trip to back up
Stinnett and Tolly.
Bill Hawkins, Beatrice senior,
will get the starting nod at right
end. His partner on the right side
will be either Mike Lee or Prusia.
depending on whether Lee is ready
to go or not.
The remainder of the first unit
includes: co-captains Don Rhoda

Nothing To Cry About . . .
Nebraska has never finished low man on the totem pole and fifth
only twice. This was brought to the Daily Nebraskan's attention by
Commander J. P. Edwards of the Naval ROTC unit.
Figures compiled by John" Bentley and Jim May of the University
Athletic News Service and forwarded to us by Commander Edwards
indicate that since its last "big" team in .1940, Nebraska ranks third
m the conference n overall wins and losses.
Commander Edwards did not include Colorado so that he could go
back to the 1940 Husker team. If figures had been compiled way back
to the beginning of the Big Six in 1928, Nebraska would come out very
close to the number one position.
Last year we finished third and this season we have won our only
Conference tilt to date.
We are passing on Commander Edwards suggestion that the sola
tixis printed concerning Nebraska's football troubles ahould be sent
to Kansas, Kansas State and Iowa State.

For What It Is Worth . . .
Last weekend w hit on six out of nine games, with one tie in
cluded. Wa lost out in the Illinois-Minnesota and Purdue-Michigan
State tilts while Houston and Oklahoma battled to a tie.
Here are Saturday's choices:
Nebraska over Missouri . . . Huskers to tame Tigers In big upset.
Oklahoma over Colorado ... No sweat.
Iowa State over Kansas State . . . Will be closer than anticipated.
Miami (Florida) over Kansas ... No warm welcome for the
Jayhawks.
Holy Crosa over Boston U . . . A squeaker.
Navy over Penn . . . Middies will flood paydirt.
Penn State over Syracuse . . . This one an upset.
Army ever Virginia . . . Dawkins will again lead charge.
Michigan ever Illinois . . . Spartans to bounce back.
Michigan over Minnesota ... The Gophers to fall again.
Notre Dame over Pittsburgh . . . Irish may need another field
foal.
Ohio State over Wisconsin . . . Could go either way.
Rice over Texas . . . Longhorns to be edged out.
Texas A&M over Baylor . . . Aggies by 12.
Stu Howerter and Art Klein at
the guards, Dick McCashland
at center, Stinnett at quarterback,
Doug Thomas and Gene Sandage
at the halfbacks and Jerry Brown
at fullback.
Despite the bad weather, the
Huskers drilled outside Wednes
day afternoon, concentrating on
defense of the Missouri sliding-!
offense. f
The Tigers are loaded with quar
terbacks. Ken Clemensen, Phil
Snowden or Don Mason can be
counted on to give a fine perform
ance.
Clemenson is the only experi
enced Tiger in the quarterback
ranks. He piloted the third unit last
season behind Jimmy Hunter and
Dave Doane. Last season Clemen
son completed 8 of 18 passes for
52 yards.
Snowden is considered an excel
lent triple threat back by the Mis
souri coaching staff. He has the
best passing arm among the quar
terbacks and possesses good, in
stinctive pass-defense savvy. Snow
den was an All-American prep
gridder at North Kansas City.
Mason is the moist gifted ball
handler among the quarterbacks.
He has a deceptive running gait
and good follow-through fakes
which are important in belly-se
ries execution.
The man the Huskers will have
to watch is fullback Hank Kuhl
mann. Last season K u h 1 m a n n
scored 37 points and netted 440
yards in 87 rushes for a five yard
average. He is a powerful runner
and picks up much of his yardage
on off-tackle slants.
The Tiger line is anchored by
Don Chadwick, Merv Johnson, Bill
McKinney, Pete Jensen and Bob
Lee.
Chadwick is rated as the best
equipped Mizzou lineman in years.
He has reverted to middle guard
on defense after playing both tac
kle and linebacker last season.
Jensen is a steady unspectacular
performer with good line backing
savvy. A tough lineman, Jensen
is in on most of the Tiger tackles.
Johnson is the squad's most ef
fective blocker on the squad. Rug
ged on defense, he gives Missouri
coach Frank Broyles good balance
in the forward wa.
McKinney, an end. and Lee. a
tackle, are both equally as tough
on defense as offense. Both have
been impressive this season.
The Huskers have won the last
three encounters. Last season the
Tigers fell in Lincoln to the tune
of 15-14. Nebraska halfback Frank
Nappl caught a touchdown pass
in tne closing moments of the
game for the backbreaking score.
Although the Tigers are a big
iavonie, Broyles stated that an
upset was very possible in Satur
day s contest. The Missouri men
tor called Nebraska, "as good as
we are."

Thriller Expected
A pair of disappointed grid. On defense, meantime, a simi-
Oklahoma's perennial national
champs lay their horrendous foot
ball streaks on the line Saturday
against Colorado, a team which
has been more pesky than potent
in past meetings.
The Buffs, sporting a ground
devouring offense and a sieve
like defense, get their annual
crack at the Sooners in a series
which has produced some tight
scrapes but never a aeteat tor
the Big Red roughnecks.
For the record, here are the
Sooner strings 44 straight wins,
61 straight conference games with
out a loss and 120 straight games
scored in.
Colopado has a fairly impres
sive string, too. Their opponents
have converted successfully 12
straight times this year after
Washington missed its only try
in the opener. In all, Buff foes
have made 22 of 23 PAT attempts
in the last 10 games.
The Buffs will try to utilize a
heretofore effective multiple of
fense to hang in there against the
nation's number one team Saturday.
The Buffs rolled up a massive
647 yards total offense in Satur
day's 42-14 win at Kansas State,
getting 478 yards on the ground
and 169 more through the air. The
total offense figure was a new
school record as was the 35 first
down total.
Not even the most optimistic
Coloradoan is anticipating any
such figures against this Bud Wil
kinson team, like its predecessors
a rock-ribbed defensive club.
But the development of this
Colorado club offensively has ev
eryone hopeful of a respectable
battle at Norman in a game ex
pected to lure a sellout crowd in
to Owen Field.
Colorado will pin its hopes on
offensive ability. The Buffs have
been unable to contain five op
ponents thus far although they
blanked Kansas State through the
first threa quarters Saturday.
Hitting in all directions with
good versatility from their single
wing, wing-T multiple offense, the
Bisons have rolled up 1666 rushing
yards and 490 passing yards for a
whopping 2156 yards of total of
fense with Halfback Bob Stransky
leading the way with 635 rushing
yards and 160 more through the
air.
Stransky, his teammates have
pinned the nickname "Stop-And-Go"
on him because of his
great change of pace running, was
only three yards behind Arizona
State's Leon Burton in the national
rushing column last week. Since
the Tempe team had an open date
last weekend it's a good bet tha
Buff back will return to the top
of the list after Saturday's, 168
yard output.

Penn State
Vs. Syracuse
In East
In a contest that looms as an im
portant one for both teams, Syra
cuse and Penn State collide at
Syracuse next Saturday in a foot
ball game that should project the
winner into the thick of the battle
for Eastern honors.
Coach Ben Schwartzwalder'n
Orangemen, defending champions,
are unbeaten in Eastern competi
tion and have recorded wins over
Boston U. and Cornell. A triumph
over the Lions would send the Hill
men over a major hurdle. Thev
play Pitt the following week.
Penn State, upended bv Armv on
Oct. 5, could get back into Lambert
Trophy contention with a win over
Syracuse. The Lions olso take on
Pitt in late November.
Coach Rip Engle's Pennsvlvan-
ians will cart a narrow 16-13-5
series edge into the fray, but Syra
cuse topped Penn State here 13-9
last fall in a contest that just about
decided the 1956 Eastern champion
ship.
Both teams have their 1956 stars
Jim Brown of Syracuse and Milt
Plum of Penn State performing
wnn tne Cleveland Browns, but an
other tight battle looks to be in
the making. The Orangemen have
come up with a surprisingly strong
passing game, and Penn State has
a top performer in Dave Kasper-
ian, &i halfback.
"We know that Penn State will
be real tough," said Orange coach
Schwartzwalder. "Any team
coached by Rip (Engle) has to
be."
squads meet on Iowa State's Clyde
Williams field Saturday, when
Kansas State meets the Cyclones
in Iowa State's homecoming game.
Both teams dropped Big Eight de
cisions last week, and figure to
have special ideas about bouncing
back in this one. Kickoff is at 2
p.m. CST.
Kansas State has spent this week
trying to smooth out the scars from
Saturday's Buffalo stampede in
these parts. Caught under Colo
rado's hooves, 42-14, the Wildcats
also may have lost the services of
Gene Keady, senior right halfback
and leading 'Cat ground gainer.
The 184-pound sprinter has a
twisted knee which has held him
out of workouts this week.
Most of the Wildcats other cas
ualties of bygone action have re
turned to pads, however. Terry
Lee, junior left halfback, is okay
now, and Keith Wilson, former
starting left half, promises to be
ready to meet the Cyclones. Both
men missed Colorado action.
Iowa State, 21-6 victors over
Kansas but 35-13 losers to Mis
souri in two previous loop games,
are rated "Agressive, deter
mined, tough, and willing" by Bus
Mertes, K-State coach.
I have seen films of Iowa
State's games with Oklahoma, Sy
racuse, and Kansas," Mertes said.
"This Cyclone club has the same
strong line of last season and they
have enough good backs now to
teams in our conference. T h e y
have enough good backs now to :
make them one of the better teams j
in our conference. Thev have a ,
real fine tailback; big, strong, fast
ends; ample depth; and the same !
line that held us to 29 yards rush
ing in the first half of the '56
game."
Dwight Nichols, 170-pound sopho
more tailback for the Cyclones, is
second leading ball carrier in the
conference with 333 yards and has
added 284 yards on 23 pass com
pletionsmajor contributions to
Iowa State's record of two wins
and a tie in five games.
Nearest match for him the Wild
cats have is Keady, who has 332
yards rusliing. If he misses the
action, Wilson's 186-yard rushing
total is next in line.
Overall, however, K-State would
appear to rate the edge in offense.
The Wildcats have a total of 1239
yards pushing through five games.
Iowa State has only 760., K-State
has out-passed the Cyclones, too,
326 yards to 309.
lar edge would have to be awarded
Iowa State. The Cyclones have
held five foes to 998 yards on the
ground, while K-State has given
up 1238 more than a third of
that being the 478 yards Colorado
had Saturday.
On past-performance charts, Io
wa State would be voted yet an
other advantage, -having won 23
games in the 40-game series. K
State has won 14; three have been
ties.
