They counted again in the second after stopping a Kansas State drive on the seven and marching straight down the field.

Smith scored around end from the nine. The second half had hardly opened before speedy Miner Tom Steele broke through center and dashed 60 yards for another score. Kansas State scored in the same period, Grimes taking a lateral from Haskins and going over from the nine. Syracuse Stops Niagara Bid, 14-7 SYRACUSE, N. Y.

(U.P.) Syracuse handed Niagara its second straight football defeat Friday night, 14-7, holding off a desperation rally in the fourth quarter. Syracuse had a heavy edge in the statistics, with 236 yards gained rushing to Niagara's 99, but the Eagles nearly succeeded in tying the score with a 67-yard drive led by Guide Filicetti and Jim McKinnon. Syracuse scored in six plays after taking the opening kickoff, Mike Scoba racing over from the 15-yard-line. But Niagara came right back to tie the score. The Eagles recovered a Syracuse fumble on the Orange 43 and then a McKinnon-to-Les Dugan pass went all the way for a touchdown.

Wisconsin and Purdue, two teams slated to occupy the conference cellar, will battle it out here today for the Big Nine lead and the Badgers rate a touchdown edge in this tilt for temporary glory.

Delving into conference business a week ahead of the rest of the loop teams, the winner assured of being conference king for at least seven days, the Badgers and Boilermakers may pull a capacity crowd of 45,000 into Camp Randall stadium for this opener. Purdue's Bob DeMoss, for two years one of the nation's leading football tossers, will be subjected to an aerial challenge by Wisconsin's Jug Gi-rard, the 1941 passing sensation recently returned from the army. With prize pitchers on both sides and with neither eleven boasting a strong running attack today's contest may ap-approach last year's wide open 24-20 thriller for excitement and suspense. Wisconsin won that one, smothering a last-minute aerial circus try by DeMoss who had already heaved for two touchdowns. Purdue's new coach, Stu Hol-comb, will undergo his Big Nine baptism today, but for Wisconsin's Harry Stuhldreher it will be old stuff.

Stuhldreher is starting his twelfth year at the Badger helm. 13-0 SETBACK FOR SIMPSON STATISTICS.

(Sports Editor, The Register.) COLUMBUS, OHIO More than 65,000 paying customers are expected to see Ohio State and its new coach, Wesley Fesler, open their season here today with Don Faurot's Missouri team as a foe. If the fans flock out as predicted, it will be one of the largest money crowds in history for a first game here. Ohio State is naturally the favorite, but Buckeye fans are not so sure of their team as is their wont before a non conference game because they remember how the Tigers surprised them a year ago and earned a 13-13 tie. Victor 5 Times. In five other games with Missouri, Ohio was the victor.

The Tigers pried open their own season a week ago with a 19-0 triumph over St. Louis university, and they did it while throwing only seven forward passes. On the ground alone they gained 303 yards against a team that all but defeated them in 1946 and that was claimed to be improved this season. Faurot Has Vets. Faurot will have a starting line of veterans to throw against the Scarlet and Gray today, including Bus Entsminger, a fancy ball handler under the system the Missouri coach uses, and also a good runner.

Fesler, an Ohio State alumnus who coached Pittsburgh a year ago, will have seven sophomores in the starting lineup and only one, Fullback Joe Whisler, who started against Missouri a year ago. Other starting veterans are Dean Sensanbaugher at right halfback, Bob Jabbusch, left guard; and Dave Templeton, right guard. Nebraska, Indiana Plan Aerial Battle PROBABLE LINEUPS. NEBRASKA.

Indiana and Nebraska meet today in the twelfth game of the series be tween the schools. Off the record of the 11 previous meetings, the air lanes should be clogged with footballs. Passing has been the principal offensive weapon when Hoosier and Husker get together. A blow to the Cornhusker hopes was the sidelining of Dick Thompson, No. 1 quarterback, who twisted a knee in scrimmage Moving in to take over at quarterback is Del Wiegand, letter- man on the 1945 Nebraska club, Coach Bernie Masterson will also call upon Joe Partington, con verted center, and Bruce Berg quist in the signal-calling post.

Nebraska will 'outweigh the Hoosiers six pounds on a team basis and 21 pounds in the line. Indiana reverses that 21-pound disadvantage in the backfield. BOSTON BEATS CLEMSON, 32-22 STATISTICS.

The Eagles, launching their fiftieth intercollegiate season, gave the Tigers an early touchdown opening by roughing a punter before setting off on their first two touchdown marches. The Tigers collected two more touchdowns plus a safety during the second period and then kept wilting under the savage claw-ings of the Joe Diminick-inspired Eagles during the remainder of the wide-open action.

What had developed info a punting duel for 3 quarters suddenly broke into a quick pay-dirt march for the Tigers of Colorado Springs. Freak Starts It. A freakish pass started' the ball rolling, and with Bob Pringle doing the running, Ben Douglas' return to his coaching haunts of a season ago, was quickly made a success. Colorado was settled on its own 30-yard line with first down and 20 yards "to go confronting them when Quarterback Pringle let fly a long downfield pass intended for Harry Waters. Roper Grabs.

Waters barely got his hands on the ball, and as it deflected off through the air toward the side lines Chuck Roper, right end, pulled the ball out of its unin tended flight. Roper was halted on Grinnell's 21 the play covering 41 yards. Pringle chipped off 10 yards to the three was stopped for no gain and finally collected the games lone jackpot on a charge off right tackle. Mel Tucker kicked wide on the conversion attempt. Until that point the two elevens had clubbed and pawed with no success.

A punting duel between Herb White of Grinnell and Pringle stood as the attraction. In the first quarter White kicked 59 yards in the air and collected an addition 19 yards as the ball bounced into the end zone. Pioneers Hold. The Coloradoans sent their greatest chill into the Pioneers aside from their touchdown in the second quarter with Del Green pitch to End Paul Remaley to set up camp on Grinnell's 14. Grinnell held on downs.

In the same quarter Grinnell lodged on Colorado's 14, but also with little success. Threat Dies. A White boot that fluttered out on Colorado's two-yard line aided. Tiger Hal French quick-kicked to the 28, from where Kermit Steinbeck passed to White on the 14. French grabbed off Steinbeck's next aerial on the two to kill the threat and he punted out to mid-field from the 14.

Again in the third period Colorado college reared for a moment then was beaten back by Grinnell. Recovering' a fumble on Grinnell's 34, French followed with a five-yard lunge. He hit for two more to the 27, but a bullet pass on fourth down from Halfback George Kinnick, brother of Iowa's late Nile Kinnick, was batted asunder. The Pioneers were limited to 37 yards rushing 33 of the total made in the first half while Douglas' Tigers gathered 111 on the ground and 98 by passtng for a net total of 209. GRINNELL.

one Buffalo Backs By Norm Coder. (Staff Writer.) AMES, IA. This is the day Iowa State followers hope the Cyclones keep dry the crying towel Coach Abe Stuber has been using freely all week by stopping the big, "fast and favored Buffaloes of Colorado U. Assaying all the facts at hand, it looks like all the Cyclones will have, once they move onto Clyde Williams Field with the big Buffaloes, will be the best wishes of the home state fans. Big, Fast Buffaloes.

Colorado is big, fast and experienced. The Buffalo forward wall will have a weight advantage of 21 pounds per man, with KBNT TO BROADCAST. KRNT, the Register and Tribune station, will broadcast the play-by-play account of the Iowa State-Colorado game this afternoon beginning at 1:45 p. m. an average of 211 from end to end.

That line is touted as faster than the smaller Cyclones, too. The Colorado backs will be only a few pounds heavier than the Cyclones, but they're described as faster. Iowa State also will be without Webb Halbert, flashy halfback, who was injured in last week's 31-14 victory over Iowa Teachers. A couple of other Cyclones who may not see the Buffaloes except from the sidelines are George Friedl, left tackle, and Wayne Siebold, left guard, who also are injured. Ferguson at Half.

Don Ferguson has been moved into the left half spot in Hal-bert's place, with Tom Southard and Joe Brubaker in the left tackle and guard slots, respectively. Yeager has brought 33 players here for the game. It's in the nature of a homecoming for the Colorado coach, who mentored the Cyclones for four years, including 1938. Want- Yeager Welcomed. The Cyclone gridmen and their fans want Yeager to feel welcome, but they're going to try to keep him from being too happy.

The Iowa Staters would like to square things for a 13-7 reversal last year, too. The Colorado squad arrived by plane late Friday, and both the Buffalo and Cyclone squads went through light drills. STATISTICS. Kan. Den.

This city and this state- is sure the momentum will carry over to '47, starting today. Those who believe in hunches are convinced that the very presence of Washington on the Minnesota schedule augers well, for it's a matter of record that the Huskies started the Gophers off on four great Bernie Bierman seasons.

TIDWELL LIMPS, AUBURN FALLS MONTGOMERY, ALA. JP Travis Tidwell, still limping from a broken ankle, tried desperately for sixty seconds Friday night to save a ball game for Auburn, but it was too much for him and the Tigers lost their season's opener to scrappy Mississippi Southern, 19-13.

Auburn Coach Carl Voyles, reluctant to risk further injury to his passing star who led the nation in yardage last year, kept him on the bench for 59 minutes. But as time ran out and the Tigers trailed, Tidwell hobbled onto the field and quickly tossed a 16-yard pass to substitute End Ray Williams, but it was called back because both teams were offsides. Tidwell fired three more and the final one was Intercepted. The Plainsmen never got the ball again. Kansas Dumps Denver, 9-0, on Second-Period Splurge.

DENVER, COLO. Kansas threw one scoring punch in the second period Friday night to defeat Denver, 9-0, in a rough, fumble-filled defensive battle before 28,000, DRAKE Continued from Page 9. going to be a rough night for the Drakes as they started another goalward hike after Rooker fumbled the kickoff and Duane Warnock recovered on the Drake 28. With Carl Cox carrying the burden the victors slashed to the one-yard line, but two offside penalties hurt the touchdown advance. But the visitors had another scoring weapon up their sleeves, and on fourth down Bob Hainlen split the uprights with a 12-yard placekick to put the Aggies into a never to be relinquished 9-7 lead.

Late Damage. That was the way the score read as the game rolled into the second quarter, and it was in that period that the Fort Collins gridders rolled, too. The damage started late in the first period when Thurman Mc-Graw recovered Tom Stokes' fumble on the Colorado 49. The fleet Eddie Hanna lost two yards on a try at right end, and then on a fake reverse he went over the same spot for a first down on the Drake 20 as the second period started. The Bulldogs were guilty of a grade-school error on the first play.

Pat Green started over his right guard and an official's horn sounded on the play. Drake made only a halfhearted effort to halt the runner and he barged over for the marker. The penalty was against Drake for offside, naturally the Aggies declined the penalty and they had built their margin to 16-7. Another play seldom seen gave the winners their third touchdown late in the second stanza. Starting a goalward trek from their 18, the Colorado Aggies peeled off the yards until the 50 was reached.

Hanna's There. Pat Green broke loose through his left guard but when he hit the 20 a tackle from the side jarred the ball loose. Hanna, without hardly breaking stride, gathered in the bounding ball on the 15-yard stripe and streaked over. So it was when Drake went to the dressing room, trailing, 23-7. Drake had a beautiful chance to count early in the third quarter, but it faded like a Colorado sunset when Joe Folsom intercepted Don Sweet's pass.

Tom Shestokos had given Drake the opportunity by recovering a fum bled lateral on the nine-yard line. Races to 39. Wally Rooker picked up three yards, but Folsom proved flotsam to the Ducks' touchdown cruise by grabbing the second down aerial and racing from the goal to the Colorado 39. Then came the fourth period and Bulldog big moments. Drake got back into the fray quickly as Bienemann blocked Cox' attempt ed punt with the ball on the 24- yard line.

Drake's other end, Lynn Lunde, collaborated perfectly, gathering in the leather on the 17 and bursting over. Gordon's kick was wide. It looked like the Bulldogs might do it soon again. On the second play after the kickoff Roger Capone pounced on Homer Barr's fumble on the Colorado 20. Sweet got five yards at left end, but two more sallies by him gained nothing.

Frank Lorenzo took over, fighting off. three tacklers as he barged to the seven yard line. Bobby Clark pumped his short legs down to the five but the Bulldogs got all messed up, with an offside, a fumble, a missed signal and an -incomplete pass finally giving the ball to Colo1 rado on the 12. But Drake was going to get that third touchdown. Bienemann smashed into Oliver Woods so hard when the latter grabbed Handke's punt that he fumbled, and the spectacular bov from Kenosha, recovered the leather on the Aggies' 24.

PELLA, IA. Central won its second victory in a row here Friday night by defeating Coe, 15-0, with all the scoring concentrated in the fourth quarter. Central, of the Iowa conference, last week defeated Iowa Wesleyan, 19-7, in a loop contest.

It was the season opener for Coe, a member of the Midwest conference. After three scoreless periods Central broke the ice in the fourth quarter with a place kick from the one-yard line by Left Halfback Galen Cheuvront. Central scored its first touchdown shortly afterwards. Substitute Center Paul Tedford intercepted a Coe aerial and ran it back 40 yards to the Coe four-yard line. From that point Cheuvront passed to End John Anderson for the touchdown.

Central scored again in the last minute as Quarterback Jack Sims slithered off tackle from the two-yard line. CENTRAI Whede Cross Bandstra Mineart Polrto Borgman Voss Sims 15. L.E P. r.g'.".. R.T E.

But the culprit atoned for his mistake by recovering a Colorado fumble on the 35. Handke passed to Bienemann across the goal and Drake was given the ball on the 1-yard line on interference.

Handke plunged over, but once again Gordon's kick was wide. Only kickoff time remained. Hainlen of the Aggies, and St. Clair of Drake got the official's thumb for extra-curricular activities during one heated moment. The Bulldogs started out with a 5-3-2-1 defense against the slashing Aggie offense but stopped the visitors' attack much better with a 6-2-2-1.

Art Rust of Dea Moines the largest crowd that ever witnessed a night football game in Denver. The Big Six co-champions were expected to trample Denver's light team but the scrappy Pioneer line kept the Kansas attack so well under control the Jay-hawkers needed a fumble recovery to set up their lone touchdown thrust.

Less than a minute was left In the first half when Ed Lee, Kansas tackle, burst through to cover a bobble by Denver's Jack Girtin at the Pioneer 16. The Hawks used up most of their time in two running plays before Lynne McNutt heaved a 12-yard scoring pass to Ott Schnellbacher in the end zone as time was running out. Winds Up Scoring. Don Fambrough kicked the extra point and the Hawks, who had squeezed out two points on a safety just a few minutes earlier, had wound up the scoring for the night. Right Guard Joe Crawford Kansas was responsible for the extra pair of points.

Denver's Don Rezzer had elected to kick on first down from his own 11 and Crawford came storming in to block the ball into the end zone for an automatic safety. Except for the second period, the game was largely a battle between the 30-yard lines. Denver's best drive carried to the Kansas 21, where a fumble by Girtin choked it off, and the rest of the time the Pioneers showed very little in the offensive department. Two Kansas marches were stopped by fumbles.
