In liis eastern bow, historic old St.T Nicholas Arena, ton York's iupper west side, Murphy busted and stopped Dick Wagner in aground.

LaMot.ta, the middleweight monarch, took one look and rejected the idea of doing battle with a southpawer who can hit like that. This despite the fact that 'Murphy spectacularly established himself as a superior punching attraction, the best kind. two -strikes on him boxing with 3is right foot forward. Orthodox gents don't like that, but it's going to be difficult for them to sidestep a knockout- specialist uf a' puuchless era.

That describes sophomore football star, Bob Reynolds," better than an entire dictionary of adjectives. Known around these parts as "the Rambler," Reynolds is a dancing dervish field. He's fast. He can hit 'em pretty hard: And he'fakes 'em silly from his halfback -Reynolds hit the national football scene' with one of the biggest sophomore explosions in gridiron history.

His first outing was against Indiana. He scored all 20 Nebraska, points, chipping in with a 46-yard touchdown run. Next he scored twice against adding a 67-yard touchdown gallop. Then lie scored-all 19 Nebraska points as the team'lost'its first game to in- an 84-yard touchdown sprint. Penn State was next to feel the-sting-of the Rambler, This time Reynolds racked up all 19 Nebraska points, scoring once from 42 yards.put.

By that time 1 he was known to football fans from coast to coast. And, was a marked man for remaining Nebraska foes. Next up' was. Kansas. Kansas tackled him on every play, whether sincere eager beaver.

Murphy, highly articulate, waa born Edward Conarty at Flagter, (pop. 506), ust a couple of hundred miles from Manassa, which spawned another pretty good heavyweight. His immigrant grandfather John Patrick O'Conarty. His father dropped the O', which this Mick hoped to restore. He wanted to fight under the name of Connie O'Conarty, but the Navy, lie got his start, forbade him to turn professional.

So he under the nom de guerre of Irish Bob Murphy. -A Machinist's Mate as a sailor boy, young Murphy was in 14 major was" on the carrier Lexington when it was sunk in the Coral Sea.

They chopped him off with one touchdown.

But just before he scored that touchdown Reynolds rambled for yards to set it up. It proved to be the one that won for Nebraska. It was the fifth consecutive game in which he ran 40 or more yards ori one play. -Reynolds'called his effort against Kansas- the "worst game I ever Nobody did. After all, he gained 156 yards against a 1 team that never once took its eyes off him.

did this 175-pound towheaded, keen eyed youngster come from? From Grand Island, Neb. There lie had built himself an athletic record that nearly everyone in Nebraska knew about. He was a football, basketball and baseball star, and a track man of sorts. Ke came to the university with a reputation big enough to scare a fellow. Nebraska had been down in the gridiron- dumps for almost ten years.

Now, said the fans, "we have the lad to lead us back up the lad- der." It was a big order they were handing Reynolds. He has gone a long way in filling it. What kind of a kid is he? A quiet sort. Does more thinking I than talking. Rather talk about blockers than runners, who don't 'go anywhere without blockers.

Reynolds knows all about that. He did as much blocking as running in directing Grand Island high to two mythical state championships. He knows further that you can't along getting all the good breaks. The proof, as he could cite it, is: A broken leg as a high school sophomore football star, a free throw he missed in the final second of a game that saw Grand Island's basketball winning streak Murphy is an bict-'f asriioned fighter who likes it. soaks- his -hantis morning and night in a salt- vinegar solution, ice to his eyebrows, which formerly cut easily, etc.

That's why around Nebraska they have little fear of Reynolds outgrowing his hat. Of course, the fans realize that the start Reynolds has made probably is a pace too fast to be held.
