KU Eyes Revenge Win At Nebraska
By STAN HAMILTON
Kansan Sports Writer
The Kansas Jayhawkers tomorrow invade Lincoln to face the Nebraska Cornhuskers in a homecoming battle and the final road game of the year for KU.
The men of Coach J. V. Sikes will be out to avenge the 13-14 heartbreaker they dropped here last year in the mud and rain before a soaked homecoming crowd, while the Nebraskans will attempt to break the KU winning jinx at Lincoln which has extended over the last three contests Kansas has played there.
The Huskers have won but one game of six this fall, a 20-16 verdict over Miami two Saturdays ago. However, they battled highly-favored Illinois to a 21-21 draw at Champaign. In two home games Coach Bill Glassford's team has split even
But the men from the North cannot be taken too lightly. Glassford has had an up and down season with his new unbalanced T and single wing attack, which finds two 220-pound tackles, Jerry Minnick and Teed Conner, together on the strong side.
A formidable man in the NU lineup is quarterback John Bordgona, the Big Seven's top passer with 32 completions out of 69 tries, for a total of 416 yards. Another Husker, halfback Rex Fischer, ranks 10th in the league in that department with 117 yards on only five completions.
The fourth leading rusher in the conference is halfback Dennis Korinek, who has lugged the ball 54 times for 316 net yards, just 27 yards ahead of KU's leader, Ralph Moody, who has 289 yards on 67 carries. Backing up Korinek is halfback Bob Smith, ninth in league statistics with 277 yards.
Against Nebraska, which has only been able to push across 66 points to its enemies 121, Sikes will send the league's second-ranked punter, Moody, 38.5 per kick; the seventh best ball carrier, Moody; the eighth-rated passer, quarterback John McFarland, who has 16 completions in 39 tries for 178 yards; the eightest punt returner, halfback Don Hess, six returns for 71 yards, and the ninth leading scorer, Hess, 20.
As a team, the Huskers have rolled to 1,409 yards on total offense against KU's 1,486. The two outfits have allowed their opponents 1,821 and 1,476 yards, respectively.
Only in recent years has KU been able to tame the Huskers with any degree of success. The over-all standing between the two clubs is poor from a Kansas standpoint. Nebraska, in 59 encounters, has emerged on top 42 times, while three have been ties. Its big string, though, came between 199 and 1943, when KU lost 30 of 34 games played. One was a deadlock.
Again tomorrow, as against SMU last Saturday, the lineup answering the opening whistle for the Kansans will remain in doubt until the flip of the coin. Should the Jayhawks receive, Moody will open at right half, but if KU kicks off Bob Allison probably will boot and stay in the game at Moody's spot.
Dick Knowles is slated to be at right tackle in place of Bud Bixler, who started the first five games, a move inaugurated last week by Sikes in an attempt to bolster the forward wall. Scheduled to start at fullback in place of Frank Sabatini is John Anderson, a Grand Island, Neb., product.

Big Grid Tilts In US Tomorrow
Almost all the "big names" will be out tomorrow and first place in no less than eight major conferences will be affected by the results. These are the Big Ten, Pacific Coast conference, Big Seven, Ivy league, Atlantic Coast conference, Southeastern, Southwest, and the Missouri Valley.
Illinois, pacemaker in the Big Ten, is reckoned only a 1-touchdown choice over Purdue, the eleven that last weekend smashed Michigan State's 28-game winning streak. Odd thing is that if Purdue comes up with another, this time it will help Michigan State—putting the idle Spartans back in first place in the league.
In the PCC, front-running Stanford is expected to win easily over Washington State, and second-place Southern Cal is expected to do likewise against region opponents. Cal will be at the Los Angeles coliseum to watch UCLA battle Cal.
Mighty Maryland, the nation's No. 2 team, can tie Duke for the Atlantic Coast conference lead if it whips once-been South Carolina. The word from Dixie is that Carolina, which hasn't been behind in any game since its opening game loss, is rarin' to go, but odds-makers call Maryland a shopping 27-point choice.
Georgia Tech is supposed to be still nursing bruises from last Saturday's streak-busting loss to Notre Dame, but the Engineers still are heavy favorites to hang onto the Southeastern conference lead by truncing Vanderbilt. If Tech can't come back, however, Mississippi can move front and center by blasting Louisiana State.
Baylor is favored by 13 points to keep the Southwest Conference lead by beating Texas Christian.

Phi Gam, ATO Advance To Frat 'A' Playoffs

ATO also gained a berth in the playoffs as it turned back SAE, 26-13, to share the Division IV title with DU. To complete Thursday's action, Sig Ep romped past Phi Kap 15-0 in Frat "A", while Beta overpowered Sig Ep. 32-0 in Frat "B".
Penny Morgan counted the second SAE tally in the fourth period. Then ATO bounced back to score twice as Vern Moser hit Bob Toalson with a 20-yard aerial and Pete Meckenstock heaved 80 yards to Trombold. Trombold converted for the final 26-13 score.
In the first frame, Bob Wunch pilfered a Sig Alph pass and dashed 30 yards for the first ATO touchdown. ATO scored again in the second quarter when John Brose tossed five yards to Bob Beaver in the end zone. John Trombold scored the extra point. SAE countered in the third period when Dan Rich caught a pass from Glen Wolfenden. Woldenden pitched to Tom Richman for the extra point.
Beta 32. Sig Ep 0
In Fraternity "B" action, Beta jumped into a deadlock with Phi Gam for the Division I lead as it romped over Sig Eg. 32-0. Both Beta and Phi Gam, which tangle in the final round next week, have perfect 3-0 slates.
Curt Nettels paced the Beta offense as he connected with five heaves for touchdowns. In the first half Nettels completed two TD tosses to Bob Reed and one each to Don James and Jay Hardy Hardy to reach the final four. Newer airial in the fourth quarter. John Prosser added both PAT's.
Phi Gam 19. Sigma Nu 0
Phi Gam put together tallies in each of the first three periods with an airtight defense to erase Sigma Nu 19-0. In the final Division II standings, Phi Gam was on top with a 4-0 record followed by Delta Chi 3-1, Sigma Nu 2-2, Sig Ep 1-3 and Phil Kap 0-4.

ATO 26. SAE 13
With a pair of fourth quarter TD's, ATO staved off a second half SAE comeback to register a 26-13 triumph and tie DU for the Division IV crown. ATO and DU both wound up league play with 3-1 marks while Kappa Sig and Sigma Chi trailed with 2-2 and SAE with 0-4.
Jack Wolfe opened the Phi Gam scoring when he gathered in a first quarter Sigma Nu punt and returned it to paydirt. In the second period, Glen Jones took to the airlanes and singled out Bill Michener for a payoff pitch. Bob Clawson notched the extra point. The final counter resulted as Jones again fired to Michener for a third stanza marker.
