Dental College scored their only score in the first quarter on a short pass to Bob Smith. Alpha Tau Onega came back with their slick offense and tough defense to hold the Dents scorless and scored five touchdowns and three extra points. The ATO's used their pass ing attack to perfection to set up most of their scoring runs. With the two halfbacks split wide, ATO quarterback Elmer Wallin would hit one of the two halfbacks cutting to the middle, Besides this tough air attack, the ATO line put good pressure on the Dent College's offensive to stop the Dents.

Colorado s Boston College scored two fourth quarter touchdowns to beat Iowa State, 14-10. Okla homa State also made an un profitable venture outside of the loop.

Long overdue Oklahoma finally won a game, taking care of Kansas State, 17-6, and Nebraska lost its fourth straight came, takine a 28-6 ference action.

So relax and get away from your cares with Sir Walter Raleigh the quality pipe tobacco I By Bullet Sidelights from the Kansas-Nebraska game Kansas rivals Syracuse as the best team the Huskers have faced this year. The Jayhawks looked every bit the team they were picked to be at the start of the season. John Hadl lived up to his clippings. The shifty Jayhawk signal-caller ran the option as well as anyone; some times getting ria ot tne ball on the pitch out at the very last second. Hadl had the Husker ends guessing all day. KU hopes for a Missouri victory at Colorado were ignited by the fact that the Jayhawk backers felt that Kansas will whip Miz2ou when the two meet Nov. 25 The sports editor of the Daily Kansan. Bili Sheldon, expressed his opinion that Colo rado isn't as strong as their record indi cates and that Nebraska J -'- "I1VV IV them off. Wohlfarth Colorado has Nebraska and Iowa State remaining to complete an unbeaten conference season. If the Buffs should falter in one of these games and Kansas beats Missouri, then KU would still have a. shot at the Orange Bowl trip as both teams (Kansas and Colorado) would have 5-1 conference marks. . This corner wonders why the NU coaches have neg lected to use Rob Meade, senior quarterback, more. Tak ing nothing away from Dennis Claridge, who will be a great qarterback in the ftre, Meade saw his first action great quarterback in the future, Meade saw his first action in three weeks Saturday and looked good. Meade, who ; doubles as the Husker place-kicking expert, fired a 30-yard pass to end Jim Huge on his first play of the game and led the Huskers only TI) drive. Later in the fourth quarter, Meade was benched again and didn't see farther action until the last few despera tion plays. Meade's record for . Saturday was three five completions for 53 yards. Claridge' threw 18 times, completed six, also gaining S3 yards through the air. This corner would like to see the continued use of both quar terbacks and some more, but giving Meade, who has sat on the bench for three years and deserves a better fate, a fair chance. a Nebraska's Thunder Thornton was not among the first list of candidates for the All-American team. Thorn ton, the Big Eight's second leading rusher, has proven himself week after week outdueling some of the country's best, including Syracuse's Ernie Davis, Oklahoma State'! Jim Dillard and KU's Curtis McClinton. Every team Ne braska plays has pinpointed Thunder as the man to stop but only one teanV'(Arizona) has limited him to under 40 yards. The 200-pound junior halfback from Toledo de serves more credit than he will receive. Thunder hits every line as hard as he can and has an intense desire to win. His performance against Oklahoma State (gained 121 yards and played an outstanding defensive game) was tabbed by. Gregg McBride of the Omaha World-Herald as "one of the best performances in a losing cause I've ever seen." Despite all this, the Thunder Man will probably not receive any All-American honors (THIS YEAR) and will have to scrap to make the all-Big Eight team. With such outstanding backs as Hadl (who will probably get an all Big Eight halfback selection), Colorado's Gale Weidner at quarterback,-and Iowa State's Dave Hoppmann (wingbackV in the conference, Thornton will have to beat out Dillard and McClinton for the fourth backfield spot. Thornton has outgained both these two in their meetings this fall and it will be highway robbery if he doesn't get selected. Six Lettermen Bolster Wrestling Outlook By Bob, Besom Two blind grapplers will be looked to for varsity roles with the 1961-62 Nebraska mat men, reported Coach Bob Mancuso. Jim Faiman and Dan HoS- v e t, both senior lettermen from Nebraska School for the Blind, will probably have the starting spots ir. the 137 and 191 pound divisions. Most of the Husker strength is in the lower weights. Sen tors Jim Baschke and Harold Thompson will be called on for the power in the heavier divisions. Raschke, the stout Omaha h a n d i m a n who led last season's squad to the best Nebraska record in 32 years, ranks among the nation's toD collegiate heavyweights, said Mancuso. And Thompson, who is one of five out-staters on the 27-man roster, could sur prise the nation's best 157 pounders. Mike Nissen is the top pros pect in the lower divisions. Nissen, last season's bright est star, will again be vieing at 123. Dick Van Sickle, 130, and Larry Lebruska, 147, round out the seven man list of re turning lettermen. Mancuso lauded the prog ress of 115-pounder Chuck Martin, a sophomore from Lincoln. Martin is one of 15 underclassmen on the roster: Twelve duals are on tap for Mancuso's grapplers three more than in 1960-61. The record was 5-1-3 last season. The matmen open at Man hattan Dec. 2, against Man cuso's alma mater Kansas State and former coach Frit Knorr. The Huskers are also billed for arieast three tourneys. Names NU Wrestling Roster Wt.
