UP) Biff Jones' hitless wonders still are at it. In a dizzy, daffy football game crammed with contradictions, his Nebraska Cornhuskers slashed out a lone touchdown on the first scrimmage play of the game to defeat the potent Hoosiers of Indiana, 7 to 0, and continue in the list of the nation's unbeaten elevens. 1 The Huskers defeated Minnesota on two plays that clicked.

Littlej Jack Dodd took a short shovel pass from Johnny Howell behind the Nebraska 35-yard line, where the Huskers had put the ball in play after an out-of-bounds kickoff, and started eating up the yards around his left end. His teammates came to his aid with superb downfield blocking. Twice he stumbled in the clutches of Hoosier blackshirts, but finally daylight loomed ahead and he crossed the goal standing up. Lowell English place kicked the goal as the hand on the big clock registered just 17 seconds. I Then came the maze of statistical I contradictions which sent fans horn groggy.

The Huskers failed to register a I first down until midway in the final period, and wound up with two, one on a penalty. They gained a net 25 yards from rushing, and on the two forward passes attempted they gained a total of 88 yards. The backs were smothered before they reached the line of scrimmage, starting like they were pulling their feet out of tar. Meanwhile the sturdy Hoosiers surged up and down the field like Ohio State kept its record In the Big Ten unblemished by defeating the down-trodden Chicago eleven, 39 to 0, at Chicago.

From these two games will emerge the district's first winners of the 1937-38 season, opening a schedule of two dozen hardwood tilts, scheduled in Wayne, Randolph, Union, Fayette, Franklin, and Henry Counties this week three of then on Wednesday night, four others on Saturday night and the remainder on Friday night, the one night of the week usually set aside for Hoosierdom's favorite indoor sport. It'lrbe a different game this season without the center jump, and this change, which will arouse the curiosity of every net follower, along with a continued improvement of conditions, should pull most of the schools out of the red and put them in the black. The feeling that teams will play before larger crowds than in the past several years, is general throughout the district. Conference champions of the Big 14 and Big 18 leagues will put1 their titles on the block before the week is over.

Ridgeville's Cossacks took the Big 18 Conference (Randolph County) race last year with eight consecutive victories. Not so much is heard of the Cossacks in this sec- tion as. they are located in the far corner of Randolph County and for the past several seasons have been sent to the Jay-Blackford sectional, but Coach Herman Beckley's boys have bowled over some big-timers and loom as one of Randolph County's best balanced aggregations again this season. They'll be hosts to Green Township Friday night. Centerville will open defense of its Big 14 title with Economy's Ccrciinals Friday night.

Centerville is under a new coach this year Mac Fuby, a Bulldog star himself not so long ago and with three members of last year's fine team back, the Bullrbgs sem certain to wage quite a scrap before giving up their championship. Down in Fayette County there are six teams in the county league and three of them tied for the championship last year. Everton, Alquina, and Bentonville all won eight of 10 games, Bentonville catching up on the last night of the season with a victory over Orange. They'll all be busy this week but only Everton takes on a league enemy, meeting Harrisburg on Friday night. Everton not only opens its schedule this week but the Bearcats will jump right into the middle of the program with three games.

All are on foreign floors and will be played at Holton, Harrisburg, and Brownsville. Liberty opens another tough schedule on Wednesday night in a game with Springfield Township. A coaches' convention may be a feature of this tilt as the Scarlet Warriors meet such noted enemies as Richmond, Connersville, Rush-ville, Brookville, Winchester, and Hagerstown during the season and few mentors will pass up this opportunity to get a few first hand notes on the Warriors. Farmland, in Randolph County, takes on Selma of Delaware County in the third tilt Wednesday night. Eight of Wayne County's quintets swing into action Friday night with Centerville, last year's Big 14 winner and finalist in the sectional, starting out under a new coach, Malcolm Ruby, by playing host to Economy's Cardinals.

Cambridge City takes-on Bentonville, and Milton entertains Lynn in two intercounty tilts. Whitewater journeys to Boston and Green's Fork goes to Williamsburg in the two county headliners. Wayne Township, surprise victor in the Winchester sectional tournament last Spring, starts another season at Huntsville. Only two members of last year's championship team are back to carry on for little Wayne. Spartanburg's gymless Tomcats will meet Jeffereon, Farmland will drop in on Modoc, Lincoln will test Parker's strength.

Green Township invades Ridgeville, McKinley battle Jackson at Union City, and Saratoga invades Fort Recovery for other games for Randolph County netters. Liberty travels to Alquina for Fayette County's feature tilt Friday night and this tilt probably will overshadow the Harrisburg-Everton conference game. Orange is at Fair-view in the other Fayette League tussle. The activity in Union County will be confined to the Kitchel-Webster game at KitcheJ and a pair of tilts involving Franklin County quintets, Whitewater Township at Brookville and Laurel at New Salem, will complete Friday night's schedule. Hagerstown's Tigers will attempt to turn their first start in their new gymnasium into a triumph Saturday night with Union City as the intended victim.

The remainder of Saturday night's program will find Modoc at Economy, Milton at Fountain City, and Everton at Brownsville. S. M. U. VICTOR DALLAS, Oct 30.

Southern Methodist University Mustangs came from the Southwest Conference cellar today with a 13 to 2 victory over University of Texas, sending that team to last place.

The Red Devils snapped their losing streak at Noblesville's expense on Oct. 20, played New Castle to a scoreless tie last Tuesday, and turned back Plainfield 13-0 Friday night. The Red Devils will start prepa rations Monday for the Southport tussle.

The Cardinals whipped Columbus 21-19 Friday night and boast a fine record for the season. Morton's record to date: Morton, 14; Knightstown, 13. Morton, Connersville, 12. Morton, Technical, 26. Morton, New Castle, 19.
