Hawkers Invade Nebraska Saturday
A football rivalry which extends back to 1892 between Kansas and Nebraska will be renewed in Lincoln Saturday.
Saturday
It will be Homecoming for the Cornhuskers and a crowd of between 32,000 and 33,000 is expected.
ALTHOUGH NEBRASKA holds a big edge in this series which has seen only one interruption—the two not meeting in 1904 nor 1905—it has been four years since the Huskers have been able to win from the Jayhawks.
The series now shows Nebraska winning 46, losing 17 and tying 3.
An early-week check indicated that Nebraska will be at full strength for the Jayhawkers.
AFTER A STUTTERING start this season, the Kansans caught fire of- fensively against Oklahoma State to down what had appeared to be one of the top defensive teams in the league. 42-8.
The Jayhawks previously had mowed down Iowa State and Oklahoma after blowing a 19-point fourth quarter lead to Colorado.
In John Haddl, senior quarterback, Kansas has what Nebraska scout Cletus Fischer called a "true triple-threat All America." It was Haddl's running and passing that stamped the Cowpokes Saturday at Lawrence.
CURTIS McCLINTON, senior halfback, hasn't lost the touch, either. McClinton has a 4.5 average to rank fourth among the Big Eight ball toters with 314 yards on 69 carries.
The Cornhuskers will be driving to develop a scoring punch this week. Against both Oklahoma State and Missouri, Nebraska had its opportunities but blew them as pay dirt approached.
Eill (Thunder) Thornton, playing on a pair of bruised legs that would have benched many football players, accounted for 55 of the 74 rushing yards which Nebraska collected against Missouri. Thornton is the second top ground gainer in the Big Eight with the league's top average of 5.6 with 453 yards on 81 carries.
DENNIS CLARIDGE'S talented toe may get another thorough work-out against the Javahaws. Claridge now leads in the Big Eight in punting with 23 boots for 975 yards and an average of 42.3.
Two Cornhusker interior linemen, Dwain Carlson and sophomore John Kirby, drew plaudits from the coaches for their fiery play against the Tigers.
Bob Brown, 251-pound sophomore tackle, also appeared to be coming of football age in the Tiger fray. He has fully healed from the hurts that kept him at home when Nebraska played Oklahoma State.
BILL COMSTOCK, junior fullback, played well defensively.
New York Knicks Beat Royals
By United Press International
Apparently a winning habit is harder to break than a losing one.
When Eddie Donovan joined the New York Knickerbockers as coach this season after a highly successful collegiate career, cynics warned him to prepare for the worst. The Knicks had finished at the bottom of the National Basketball Association's Eastern Division two straight years and more of the same was predicted for this season.
But rather than fall to their level, Donovan has introduced a winning combination to New York and last night the Knicks presented him with his fourth victory in six pro starts, a 131-127 decision over the Cincinnati Royals.
Among other moves he came back from a linebacker spot to snare one of the Missouri forward passes.
Dick McDaniel, senior end, who did not play high school football, had his finest defensive day against the Tigers.
Detter-Smith Capture IM Tennis Doubles Title
"We have been able to move the ball fairly well with the exception of the Missouri game," Coach Bill Jennings said. "But we have been missing too many scoring opportunities."
Carl Detter, Hutchinson freshman, and Terry Smith, Larned junior, nabbed the intramural tennis doubles title yesterday.
The Detter-Smith duo beat Lee Gaston, Kansas City senior, and Charles Boomer, Kansas City junior, 6-0. 6-3.
Detter and Smith represented Templin. Gaston and Boomer represented Phi Kappa Tau.
The Templin duo held the Phi Kappa Tau twosome to two points in the first set.
