Once again Yogi Hergenra der showed his mastery of the art of forward passing and alertness. The Snakes also showed they have the ability to come from behind. Dents Score First The Dents scored first on a short pass from tailback Phil Eyan to Mike Edwards. The extra point was good on a pass from Eyen to Ron Noel. This concluded the scoring in the first half as the Sigma Nu Seven couldn't provide a scoring punch. The second half opened up with a fired up Siea Nu ball club, marching 54 yards in five plays. The TD.came on a 15 yard pass from Hergen rader to Dud Walker. Her genrader then passed to Bob Top 1M Sig ma Nu; Betas, Dents Next By Larry Novicki Top Ten Sigma Nu Beta Theta Pi 3. Dental College 4.

Hergenrader Goes 40 Ths Dents took over on their 15 and were forced to p u n t after three passes went array. Eyen punted to the Sig ma Nu 20 where the ball took a Sigma Nu bounce. The Dents thinking the t!I dead stood in amazement as Her genrader scoooped up the pig skin and raced 40 yards to paydirt. The try for extra point was not good. The Dent's wasted little time in making it a new ball game as they scored on a pass from Eyen to Noel. Eyen then completed a pass to Edwards, but he later was stopped on the one foot line. After exchanging the ball the Snakes found themselves deep in there own territory with time running out. On the first play Hergenrader tossed a short pass to blocking back Football Spot To game during regular season play, a 19-14 decision to Sigma Phi Epsilon early in October. They then rolled over most of their opponents enroute to the title. Their closest call was a 6-0 squeek past Beta Theta Pi. Betas Runnerups The near upset of Sigma Nu boosted the Beta's into second place on the c h a r t. They finished undefeated in a tough 2-A league. Although they did not score heavily, their defense was the tightest in the M setup. The Dent's could have been rated higher had they played a more complete schedule. They reached the finals by winning five games including a couple of forfeits. Sigma Alpha Epsilon won 3-A league laurels and w.s rolling along in fine style un til blowing up against Sigma Nu 26-0. Defending Champs Drop In fifth place is the two time champion Sig Ep's. They were the only team to beat Sigma Nu, but they couldn't quite turn the trick in tour ney play. They lost 15-13. A couple of close calls to weak opposition earlier in the sea son cost the Sig Ep's a high Jerry Levy who picked up a first down. On the next play Sullivan found Tom Mathews in the end zone, but Mathews couldn't find the handle. Winning Score Things looked bad for the Sigma Nu team. Hergenrader faded back and hit Sullivan on the five who went into the end zone. The extra po i n t failed, but it was all over ex cept for the shouting. With the completion of the last TD pass, Hergenrader topped off a season with 32 touchdown passes and ran for four himself. Special praise should be given to the fine defensive team employed by Sigma Nu. Among the outstanding were, Wally Wilson, Ace Holsher, Jin Hergenrader, Cracker Wagner, Vera Olson, and Ed Armstrong. er final rating. Hitchcock, the dorm champs, Phi Kappa Psi, who scared the Beta's 0-1, Gus II, the dorm's second best team, Sigma Alpha Mu, the all-fraternity runncrup, and Beta Sigma Psi, whose only loss was a one-point decision to the Sammies round out the top ten roster. CORNSHUCKS Notes on Homecoming . . . All the houses came through in fine style with their dis plays despite attacks by van dals. The decorations were big and flashy just opposite of the football team. It seems to me that bread-and-butter football is for the heavy, fast teams, and that the teams that do not fall into that category should revert to a more razzle-dazzle syle of p,ay' Not only the Innocents failed to recognize the Nation al Anthem. Apparently there was one Lincoln Journal-Star reporter watching everything else but the flag during the "Star Spangled Banner." The Cornhusker Hotel was full of alums again. The grads Huskers Travel To KU For Jay hawk Homecoming Tilt Next Saturday Nebraska will travel to Lawrence Kan sas to take on another team that has caught fire in Big Eight Conference competition. The first was Kansas State. Last week it was Missouri. The Jaybirds opened up the season by losing consecutive games, to Texas Christian, Oregon State, and Colorado. It looked like a long season for head coach Jack Mitchell, who had never gone through a season with below a .500 record. KV Record 3-4 However, the former Okla homa quarterback and h i s Kansas Dal Ward, in his eleventh year as football coach at the University of Colorado, has a record of 56 victories, 37 de feats, and six tics . . . His Buffaloes have been shut out only twice. guzzled away the afternoon's big disappointment and still made a happy ending for the 1958 Homecoming. However, some people were not so happy after the week end of festivities. Win Smith berger tripped over a wire while helping on the Kappa display; she broke her nose when she bashed against the sidewalk. A couple of her sor ority sisters suffered blood poisoning from cuts inflicted by chicken wire. Sigma Nu won the all-university football title last Fri day by beating Dental Col lege 19-13. The Snakes really came along fast after drop ping a game to the Sig Eps early in the campaign. Yogi cultured a powerful and ac curate arm playing baseball, and he used it to full advant age in the pass-happy intra mural league. Towards the end of the week, the Daily Nebraskan will come out with its all-university football team. All rec ommendations from fans will gladly be accepted by the sports department. Uiii Club Loses Meet The University club were defeated by the league chanv pions, Omaha Lithuanica, at Peter Pan Park on Sunday, by 5 goals to 1. It was one of the worst de feats of the Husker Club since it was formed over a year ago. The score did not reflect the difference in the teams, however, for the Husker for wards missed several chances. The defense also had its bad moments, but the team failed through the inability of the forwards to pierce the Omaha defence. The only goal come from a shot by Bow-den.

The next week Kansas was routed by Oklahoma (which isn't uncommon). Since then the Jayhawks have hit both Tulane, in a real big upset, and Kansas State, who ripped the Huskers 23-6.
