Bluebirds Set For St. Marys Battle Today With an air of revenge, St. Mary's of Grand Island will invade Lincoln Sunday afternoon, Sept. 21 opening the six-man gridiron wars by facing the Cathedral Bluebirds on their street field at 3 o'clock. LAST YEAR'S inaugural affair at the Third City brought a humiliating defeat of the Ramblers 47-19, but with ten lettermen back, including five regulars, a repeat may prove difficult.

Sandy Silverio'i charges have been drilling since the start of school and will go into the game In top shape. Being one shy of the Islanders' total of lettermen, the Bluebirds will field a team consisting of three regulars In linemen Jack Beecham, Don Webb and back Bill Weygint. Rounding out the starting lineup 190 pound end Bill Griffin, Jim Jackson, back and Denny Sweeney, ball carrier. The Bluebirds will play their first game under Father Eugene Kalin as athletic director. Probable starting lineup: Blgley Webb Peeroa Griffin Werner Jkckeon qf.

Five Errors Hand Bums 8 lo 1 Loss BROOKLYN, (if). A pitcher Who never before had won a game at Ebbets Field put a crimp into Brooklyn's bid to clinch the National leacue flag Saturday when Johnny Sain, curve bulling Boston righthander, hurled the Braves to an 8-1 victory over the Dodgers. AS A RESILT the Brooks, now leading the St.

Louis Cardinals by eight and a half games, must wait at least another day unless the Redbirds drop their game. The Dodgers need one more victory or a Cardinal de feat to make their World Series entry against the New York Yankees a mathematical ccn-lainty. Sain, who gained his 20th triumph for the second successive limited the disappointed Dodgers to six scattered sine Irs. The Brooks combined a base on balls, a sincle and a loni fly In the eighth Inning for their only run. The Braves, eyeing the run-nerup spot, thus gained a half game on the Cardinals and are now only a game and a half out cf second place.

They have a three-game bulge on the New York Giants.

Knox went back to kick on the first play of the fourth period.

Hugh Johnson, Kansas tackle, barreled thru the line to block the boot. Kansas' fullback, Frank Pattee, fell on the ball on the T.C.U. 38. But the Jayhawk backs couldn't go from there in the heavy foot ing. Ray Evans, brilliant Kansas "halfback, was just another figure offensively but played a stout de fensive game, until he.

IN VIVID contrast, there will be some 38,000 highly partisan funs in the stands next Saturday when Ho McMillin herds his mighty Hoosiers onto the greensward. Tutor Brrnie, no doubt, expresses hope that the play of his wards equals that contrast. SAVE for spasmodic flashes of individual brilliance, the varsity seemed in a lethargy.

The block ing was spotty, pass defense was shoddy and the squad spirit seemed listless. To add to the gloom. Dirk Thompson, the only veteran quarterback, threw his left ankle out of Joint early in the skirmish. Attending physicians predicted that Thompson may be sidelined for as long as three weeks. Thompson's misfortune brought Del Wiegand, 1948 11 team quarterback, fully into the spotlight.

And Wiegand justified his opportunity by pitching two touchdown passes, handling the ball adroitly and hitting five of ten targets. Hoth of Wicgandis touchdown passes, as well as all four of the other scores, bordered on the sensational. DEL HIT swift Bob Acker- man, a Nubbins teammate a year ago, with a 30-yard pitch for the third score of the game. Covering 75 yards, the play saw Ackcrman field the ball on the run 45 yards out and outspeed the secondary. The other Wiegand pay pass flew 25 yards to 211-pound Ralph Damkroger who galloped the remaining 15 yards unmolested.

Newcomer Bill Mueller checked in a tidy bit of broken field maneuvering in rambling 30 yards for the second score of the day. Squat Bill slid over right tackle, cut wide and out feinted three tacklers enroute to the double stripes. AFTER THE spirited team had held tenaciously for ten minutes, Center Bobby Costello opened the scoring by rambling 76 yards after intercepting Joe Gutschow's pass. Costello, who doubled as a halfback on Potsy Clark's 1945 Husker team, showed he can still swivel-hip in threading a path down the west sidelines. Jim Myers, the hard-driving See NU VARSITY, P.

THE TIGERS were up against a line that outweighed them but managed to make their open style of play pay off. St. Louis, trying to gain by the aerial route, completed only four of its dozen forward pass attempts for 25 A Missouri interception of a Billiken pass in the third period ended the major St. Louis scoring threat. Missouri sported a 7-to-0 lead at the half over the team they were marked to beat by two touchdowns.

Kansas University's Jayhawkers and Texas Christian fought each other and the elements Saturday night without a decision as their opening football game ended in a 0 to 0 tie.

In the closing minutes of the first half, the powerful Plainsmen 11 was again preparing to cash in for Touchdown No. 3 as Ev Poe and Ken White teamed up again to bring the ball down to the Omaha 8-yard line as the first half ended.

THE SECOND half was a stalemate as both teams repeatedly fumbled and the Omaha Indians took to the air in an attempt to score. Big Ray Westover blocked an Omaha punt which went out of bounds on the Indians 21-yard-line, and the Plainsmen were on the inarch again as the fourth canto began. Wesleyan scored as Johnson bruised his way over from the Omaha two and scored with Ken White converting.
