Nebraska came through the Col

the way of a hurt so the Huskers
should be at full strength for tlx

Jerry Brown, senior fullback,
was the one bright spot in the
Husker offense. The Minden bull
dozer matched Bob Stransky's
yardage and the Colorado halfback
is the nation's leading rusher. Both
had 99 yards. Brown getting his

"Not much more can happen
than has happened to us this season.-'
Coach Bill Jennings said.
He was thinking -" the two
heartbreakers against Missouri
and Kansas, the fact that Coach
Chuck Mather timed his resigna

game and Notre Dame blanked
Oklahoma a week before th Soon

In Nebraska's football statistics.
Brown pulled completely in front
of the rest of the squad in rushing
and in total offense. Brown now
has lugged the pigskin 88 times
for a total of 371 yards for a 4.!

1.D Coach
To Receive
Part Of Ml
Terry Brenr.an, who is enjoying i
possibly his greatest moment as j
Notre Dame fooiball coach, is wad- j
ing through a stack of congrat- j
ulatory telegrams and listening t i
. dozens of telephone calls. i
The student body wss given the
day off from classes in celebration
!of the 7-0 Irish v'utory over Okla
homa which ended the Sooner'a
sensationpl winning streak at 47
gam,-a.
But all was quiet on the campus.
The campus did bref.k loose,
however, Saturday night when thw
! Fighting Irish came home. Ther
'were met at the airport by five
: thousand people and as many more
swarming all over the campus.
Brennan and his squad studied
movies of the game Monday be
fore he gave his players a rest.
Then the young coach began dig
ging into the telegrams.
Not only will Brennan be re
membered as the coach who ended
: the Sooner 's victory string but will
' also be remembered by an Al Mc
1 Grane of Brooklyn. Last week a
i letter was received from Mr. Mc
t Grane saying that if Notre Dame
defeated Oklahoma, Brennan
. would be remembered in his will.
McGrane sent a telegram Mon
day reminding Brennan he will be
! remembered.
But all w'ill be serious this weeic
as the Irish prepare themselves
as they will face the eighth rateo
team in the nation, tiie Iowa Hawk
eyes. Gridder
Bob White, last Saturday's her
in the 17-13 victory of Ohio Stat
against Iowa, will get a free honey-
', moon.
The 19-year-old star said Mon
i day he will marry Glenda Brown,
from his home town of CovingVw,
. Kentucky.
Mrs. Loren White, mother at
Bob, said, "They had planned to
be married in February. Becaus
wives of football players are per
: mitted to make the Rose Bowl
trip, they deckled to be married
earlier."
