Cornhuskers Up For Homecoming
After losing a heartbreaker to a powerful Missouri eleven by the slim margin of 21 to 20, the Nebraska Cornhuskers will be shooting for a homecoming victory over the Kansas Jayhawkers Saturday.
The Cornhuskers have had Trouble this season in having bal- weed attack on any one weekend. Wic the passing attack is function- ing the running attack bogs down and vice versa.
Nebraska will match Kansas's twin passing attack with a pass defense that led the nation a week ago in interceptions.
A crowd of more than 35,000 is expected to see the fifty-sixth meeting of the two schools. Nebraska has won 40 games, lost only 12 and tied three in the series.
Nebraska outrushed Missouri 183 net yards to 163, but could only make 10 yards by the aerial route.
The Cornhuskers got off to a slow start, but, as the Jayhawkers, they have improved tremendously.
In quarterback Fran Nagle the Huskers have the no. 5 pitcher in the conference. Nagle has completed 27 out of 75 attempts for 329 yards.
Ron Clark leads the Big Seven in punt returns with 223 yards in 13 carries for an average of 17.2 yards. Jerry Ferguson is fifth in this department with five returns for a 14.2 average.
Bill Mueller, 168-pounder, highlights the Cornhusker running attack. Mueller romped 48 yards on a quick opener to score against Missouri last week.
In center Tom Novak. Nebraska boasts one of the finest linebackers in the conference. Novak was an all-conference fullback his freshman year in 1946. He was shifted to center in 1947, and has been a terror to opposition offensives ever since. Novak has twice been chosen on Notre Dame all-opponents teams. He has also received all-conference honors at center in 1947 and 1948.
The Nebraska squad has spent the week working on pass defense so Cornhuskers will be in the right places at the right minute. Coach Biff Glassford has also been working the squad on offensive maneuvers in hopes of presenting a well balanced attack.
If the Cornhuskers can muster up the same spirit and will to win that they had against Missouri, Kansas will be in for a long tough day.
The love-song of the red-headed woodpecker consists of drumming with the beak on dead branches.

Coach J. V. Sikes' air-powered Kansas team hopes to make full use of an improved ground offense and an alert defense tomorrow at Lincoln in their efforts to bury the Nebraska jinx deeper.
Tom Novak, Nebraska center, has always been a thorn in the side of the Jayhawkers. He is a two time All-Big Seven center, and received all conference honors at fullback in 1946.

The Jayhawkers have beaten Nebraska two straight years and three times in the last five to partly erase the memory of the Cornhuskers' 28-year domination prior to 1944.

By winning, K. U. would jump into undisputed possession of fourth place and keep alive their chances of finishing in a third place tie.

Kansas has been rolling in high gear since they started using a double-barreled air attack with quarterback Jerry Bogue and Dick Gilman in the backline at the same time. They beat George Washington 21 to 14, looked good in losing 26 to 48 against mighty Oklahoma, then amazed Oklahoma Aggies 55 to 14 and ran over Kansas State 38 to 0.
With their sharper passing the Jayhawkers have added an improved rushing attack and a more alert defense. K. U. rushed for 184 yards while holding Oklahoma A. & M. to 80, the lowest total of the season for the boys from Stillwater. Last week they ran through Kansas State for 285 on the ground, 212 of it in the second half, while the Wildcats got 182, their season low.

And in the past two games the Jayhawkers grabbed 18 enemy fumbles and interceptions while losing the ball six times by those means.
At a meeting of the Downtown Quarterback club $110 was raised by contributions for the trip. Ten members of the squad are married.
