performed his share of the ball-
ing capably, and turned in his
usual fine defensive game.
Fenny Looks Good
Good as Evans was, he was pushed for honors by several teammates. Junius Penny backed up the Jayhawk line in a fashion which would have done credit to Pete Bausch, greatest of all Kansas centers. The big center time and time again threw himself bodily into gaping holes in the line and brought down a charging Husker back.
Otto Schnellbacher, gangling sophomore wingman, was once again Evans' favorite target. In addition to his pass receiving, the former
JUNIUS PENNY
Sublette High school star smeared Husker reverses at times in a manner which brought the crowd to its feet.
The Kansas line, led by big tackle Warren Hodges, held its own throughout most of the game with the highly-regarded Nebraska front wall. Paul Hardman, Joe Crawford, and Don Johnson repeatedly broke through the Cornhusker line to bring down ball-carriers, or to rush forward passers.
Not to be forgotten in the list of Jayhawk standouts are also Gene Roberts and Hoyt Baker. Roberts, seeing his first real action this fall After having been laid up with a bad leg, was everything he had been built up to be. He thrifted over toward the west sidelines in the fourth quarter, suddenly spurted as Evans heaved one of his phenomenal tosses toward him, snagged the ball, juggled it momentarily, recovered himself, and then raced for the goal line leaving the slower Nebraska secondary behind.
Baker's fumble in the final period as he was hit hard by two charging Husker linesmen may have cost the Jayhawks a tie, but there was no taking away the fact that the light-heaired quarterback had turned in a brilliant performance during the afternoon. His punting was the best Kansas backs have turned in this fall.
For Nebraska it was a third-string tailback who sparked both of the
Husker touchdown drives — Roy Long. Other Husker standouts were Dale Bradley (until the all-conference, halfback was removed from the game with a hip injury), Allen Zikmund of Rose Bowl fame, Kirwin Eisenhart, a sophomore fullback who charges harder than either one of the famous Francis brothers ever did, Vie Schleih, ponderous tackle, and end, Marvin Thompson.
Statistically the Jayhawks had all the better of the first half, racking up eight first downs to two for their opponents. The game opened with an exchange of punts. Kansas then began to move as Evans passes were snagged by Schnellbacher and Linquist, and the Jayhawks were in Nebraska territory. A pass interception by Partington brought the drive to a halt.
Nebraska could not gain an inch as Penny, Hodges, Johnson, and Schnellbacher smeared Bradley and Athey. Bradley and Baker then exchanged punts, with Kansas gaining. Penny Stops Drive
Eisenhart plunged for a Nebraska first down. Bradley then punted out beautifully on the Karassa 2-yard line. Baker punted back out of danger. Eisenhart once more began to pound the center of the Kansas line. Penny finally halted the sophomore fullback on two successive plays, and the Jayhawks took over the ball on their own 29-yard line.
Evans rolled off a first down running, and then with the aid of Linguist made another. A pass to Schnellbacher, on which the end made a leaping catch, took the ball to the Nebraska 37-yard line. Evens dropped back to pass, found no receivers open, and instead tore around the right side of his own line for 15 yards.
The former Wyandotte High School star then dropped back and completed a pass to Linquist, but the Nebraska team held for downs on its own 15-yard line. The bewildered Husker squad, now weakened by the loss of Bradley who injured his hip as he cut too sharply on a running play, was again forced to punt.
Gun Halts Drive
The two teams spent the remainder of the first half in a punting duel, with Kansas reeling off two first downs on Baker's running and passing just before the gun went off with Kansas deep in Husker territory.
Nebraska opened the first half as though it meant business, and after receiving the kickoff reeled off a first down. The Kansas line, however, threw Hopp back on fourth down to hold for downs in the next
Nebraska failed to gain, and punted over the Jayhawk goal. Most of the rest of the third period was spent in an exchange of punts, with Debus' passes failing to find their marks for Nebraska. Late in the period Kansas worked a lateral play from Beker to Evans to bring the ball out from the shadow of their own goal posts. Baker promptly whipped a pass to Evans for a first down, and a Kansas passing attack took the ball on up to midfield. Nebraska then held and Baker punted out of bounds deep in Husker territory.
Kicks Extra Point
Glenn Presnell's charges punted back out of danger, and on the next play Baker's fumble was recovered by Cooper on the Nebraska 44-yard line. Long came into the game, and with the aid of Eisenhart chalked up a first down. A pass from Long to Zikmund put the ball on the Kansas 27-yard line. Zikmund broke loose for 14 yards. Eisenhart and Long carried the ball to the 3-yard line. The Kansas line held Long on the first play, but on the next attempt Eisenhart went over.
Alterations and Repair Work
Big Vic Schleich kicked the extra point straight through the center of the uprights.
The Nebraska kickoff went out of bounds, and Kansas took over on the 35-yard line. On the first play Evans dropped back, heaved a long pass to Roberts, who had just come into the game, and the little seatback went racing 65 yards for the touchdown.
For the extra point, Evans outsmarted the Huskers, dropping back for a placekick with Baker holding. Instead Baker flipped a lateral to the Kansas ace who raced around
On the next play, however, Baker was hit hard and injured by charging Husler linesmen as he attempted to drop back to pass. The ball was fumbled and recovered by Nebraska on the Nebraska 12-yard line. Nebraska then froze the ball for the remaining few seconds.
Kansas outgained Nebraska in total yardage, and also led in first downs.
the left side of his own line for the
tying point.
Nebraska came back savagely. Returning the kickoff to its own 31-yard line the Huskers moved up the field 69 yards to score. First Zikmund and Eisenhart made it a first down. Then Long scampered brillantly for 25 yards. In three tries Long made it another first down, and then Zikmund and Eisenhart took the pigskin to the Jayhawk 10-yard line.
An Evans pass slipped through the receiver's hands, and then still another was incomplete. The next aerial, however, found its way into Gene Roberts' hands on the Nebraska 16-yard line. Evans then threw one to Schnellbacher on the Husker 5, as the crowd went wild. Baker Is Injured
Nebraska was penalized five yards but Zikmund brushed around the Kansas right end for nine yards. On the next play Long dived into a host of Kansas linesmen, appeared to be stopped, and then suddenly emerged across the goal line for the touchdown. Again Schleich converted.
If You Appreciate
Kansas came right back, taking the ball on its own 35-yard line as the kickoff went out of bounds. unleashed an aerial attack that had Nebraska groggy. Evans tossed two passes to the glue-fingered Linquist to take the ball almost to midfield. A toss to Schnellbacher then made it a first down on the Husker 36-yard line.

The all-University championship now rests between the Theta's, winner of organized groups, and the IWW's, winner of the unorganized groups.
The two teams were tied 16 to 16 at the half, but on the first Theta serve, Miller put three points over. The Theta's then maintained that lead.
I. W.W.'s won the university championship last year, with the Kappa's the organized group winner.
Both teams played top notch ball, Davis and Roberts of the Theta line-up and Rhodes, Chapple, and Wells of Corbin demonstrated especially fine form.
