Jayhawkers Are Favored

get by the Nebraska jinx to have a chance to go undefeated into the last two games against Oklahoma and Missouri.
They will have to do this without the services of their star left halfback and co-captain, Frank Pattee, who fractured his jaw in the George Washington game. Pattee may be lost for the season as fas as contract work is concerned, although he will probably be used to punt.
Sike is expected to shift Dick Beruzzi over from his usual right hallback spot to take up the slack. Charles Moffett, Pattee's understudy will share the left half duty with Beruzzi.
Several other regulars are on the doubful list. The two first string tackles, Ed Lee and co-captain Hugh Johnson, along with right halfback Bud French, will see only limited action due to injuries. Cliff MacDonald, who took over for French in the George Washington game, will probably handle most of the right halfback duty.
The Nebraskans have shown a pass defense weakness this season which may prove fatal against air-minded Kansas. However, Coach Clack has been working his team hard trying to remedy the situation
Utilike the Jayhawkers, the Corn huskers will go into the game tomorrow with full strength physically. They will outweigh the Kansans almost 20 pounds to the man Tom Novak, who as a fullback contributed greatly to Nebraska's 1946 victory, is starting his second year at center, a position at which he earned all-league honors in 1947.
Cicetus Fischer, a three-letterman, and Gerald Ferguson, sophomore sensation, are the big threats in the speedy Husker backfield.
NU Has 40 Victories

"Potsy" Clark, present Nebraska coach, piloted K.U. to a scoreless tie with N.U., an undefeated season, and a tie with the Cornhuskers for the conference title Ad Lindsey's 1937 K.U. team racked up a 13 to 13 count, forcing them to come from behind twice on a fumble and a late pass play.
The jinx was in evidence in many other games, although the Jayhawkers were clearly outclassed in several others. In 1938, K.U. led 7 to 6 with three minutes left, but the badly outgained Nebraskan scored on a field goal and an intercepted pass to win 16 to 7. Kansas led 13 to 12 in the 1935 contest before a long pass and Sam Francis' subsequent scoring plunge spelled a 13 to 19 defeat.
Ralph iller and Frank Bulaky gave the Huskers the scare of their lives at Lincoln in 1939, but NU. pulled out a 7 to 0 win. In 1942 Ray Evans completed 14 o f21 passes, but Bnbraka won 14 to 7 after three scoreless quarters. In 1943, a badly outgained Cornhusker survived 7 to 6 on a 70-yard punt runback.
George Sauer, former K.U. coach,
played a major part as the Corn-
huskers won 12 to 0, 20 to 6, and 6
to 0 in 1931, 1932, and 1933. He figured
in every touchdown play. A sub end,
Bert Yelkins, booted a last
quarter field goal for a 3 to 0
victory in 1934 before 17,000 rain soaked
homecoming fans.
Nebraska won 12 to 6 in 1934 in a game that is still widely discussed even today. Almost every K.U. fan will tell you that big Jim Bausch was over the goal for the tying touchdown in the last quarter. They also claim the movies revealed this. The referee, however, gave the ball to Nebraska on the one-foot line.
A 35-yard run with a fumble and a 72-yard pass play gave Nebraska a 14 to 7 triumph in 1924. The rest of the N.U. victories over this period were decisive. Kansas won the first
Charles Toogood, 240-pound. 6 foot Nebraska tackle, had the second largest total number of minutes played last fall, 429, although he was only a freshman at the time. Charlie is the biggest man on the Husker team.
