Bring; out those superlatives that have been on ice for five long games and pitch 'em against the welkin until it rings so that all may hear: Nebraska 14, Iowa 13. Playing in a snow laden gale Jl which swept out of the north, the Cornhuskers broke their five game losing streak the hard way. They were behind 13 points when a young man named Viscount Francis began to laugh in the teeth of both the elements and the Mawkeyes. It wasn't all the Viscount, by any means, but as his All America brother Sam had done In that Indiana-Nebraska game of '36, it was the 'Count who broke his 200 bulk thru holes nine times in the 18 running plays which it required to move the ball 72 yards from the Dale Bradley took the next kick-off on his own 1-yard line and got back to the 28. Francis was held for no gain.

Al Zikmund whipped up to the 40 on a cutback and Francis came out on an end run but it netted only a yard. Can't Stop Huskert. Marvin Thompson clipped off for eight on an end around (and how that Fred Metheny does mix 'em up.) Three more plays and Vike, carrying each time, bucked his way to the Iowa 35. Those "short take" blasts continued and even a fumble whifihWaa recovered didn't stop the Huskers. Dale Bradley faked a pass and with George Abel as his trail blazer ran 21 yards to the Iowa 4.

Francis got three thru the middle and it appeared for a moment that he had a touchdown but his knee had touched on the 1-yard line. He slanted off the Iowa right tackle for the touchdown. Vike was called back for the placekick, into that north wind it was. But toe met ball and it cut its way thru the uprights like a streamlined train. So it was Iowa 13, Nebraska T.

Already somewhat shaken by this late show of force, the Iowana-were stricken again when Duda came bursting thru to partially block one of Tom Farmer's punts. That hadn't happened to Tom all year on a kick. Fred Meier nabbed it and got back to midf ield, a great 6ee HUSKERS, Page 6-B. from the Hawkeyes by a margin of one point To watch a group of young men tear a victory package part that was plainly marked "Iowa," does something for you. Especially when one of those young men was on trial for his football life.

Few college football players have been in such a spot as Vike Francis on this cold November day. He had been accused of just about everything; some of it Justified but most of it as unfair criticism as was ever heaped on the head of a college player. Vike' Had Lesson. But, the Viscount came back! Those 13 pounds that he worried from his big frame as he fought his text books to "bone' for examinations will be back too. Some of the flippancy that always marked his conversation may return, but not in the quantities that it once poured from this likeable lad.

Vike's had his lesson. Behind, 13 to 0, and facing that blast from the north, you could have written your own ticket if you had wanted to take Nebraska in the third quarter. The Hawks had just added a second touchdown, due to Farmer's passes to Parker for 17, Couppee for 19 and then Green, who took the ball on the Husker 15 and altho off balance when he caught it, managed to stumble into the end zone. This time Farmer converted from placement. a Husker 28 into the Iowa end zone.

This sustained drive was the turn-I lng point in the game that kept a crowd of 20,000 shivering thruout tne two nours ana a nair. warm homes beckoned but you don't see a team, apparently hopelessly whipped, pick itself up off the turf every day and come with a victory. So they stayed on. Wasn't Duda's Plan. They saw a sophomore, Charley Duda, come into that last half.

There wasn't much thought about It at the time. Nebraska was whipped, the insiders agreed, so evidently Biff was starting to build for next year. That wasn't VIKE FRANCIS PLACEKICKS THE POINT THAT WINS THE GAME. Ball is sailing toward the uprights thru which it passed for Nebraska's all-important 14th point. Metheny held the oval for the Viscount and the Husker forwards shut out the Hawkeyes.

Francis scored the first Husker touchdown and kicked the point then i Gophers tumble TT- 1 7Z rr ta Journal attfc tar Wisconsin, 41-6 Bruce Smith paces Gophers in last collegiate football game BY EARL HILLIGAN. MINNEAPOLIS. W. Minnesota's mighty tide of football empire with Capt. 'Bruce Smith brilliantly riding the crest of the wave swept over Wisconsin Saturday to-carry the Gophers to the Big Ten and national football championstiips.

With Smith Winding up his college Career in All-American fashion, Minnesota rolled over the Badgers, 41 to 6, to run their winning streak to 17 straight games and give the Gophers the remarkable record of six Western conference in eight years. This Minne P553 rJSmgug ning a ball game this season and how this young fellow who has been playing about all the positions In practice, from guard, to end to center to tackle, to fullback and then back to guard put out! He tackled those Hawkeye backs Mertes, Green and Farmer. He kept up a running fire of chatter, slapping his mates between plays to start a blaije that burned right thru this blizzardy setting. The most amazing part of the show was the utter disregard which both teams had for the element. Iowa's Tom Farmer, one of the finest running passers who has ever played here, would whip his aerials into the arms of teammates while going at top speed.

Cold fingers and cold hands seemed to make no difference. Aids March. Nebraska's 72 yard march to that first touchdown was accomplished largely from formation plays, which call for deft ball handling. These maneuvers are not usually recommended for a game played in a snowstorm. Iowa's loyal followers, and there were many of them in this amazing crowd that gathered and stayed on despite the weather, will put it down as that evil eye influence again.

Four times In the last nine meetings Nebraska has won rival whom they have not beaten in Penn smashes Cornell, 16-0, in 48th clash Quakers close wilh one loss PHILADELPHIA. UT). Penn's football team, capping a campaign in which it lost only one game, beat Cornell by 16-0 Saturday in the 48th episode in this traditional Ivy league series. On the face of the score, this was a smashing triumph for the Red and Blue, and most of the or more customers in Franklin Field this sunny afternoon seemed to think so. Notable 'disciples of this school of thought were the band of Penn students who, at the final whistle, rushed Coach George Munger off his feet arid carried him in triumph around the field.

But this Cornell team was only a pale pink copy of the Big Red machines of other years, including 1940. Thru the entire first half it was able to get the ball up to its own 45 yard line only once, and It was in that first half that Pennsylvania did all its scoring, From the opening kickoff, which Bob Odell ran back 21 yards, the Red and Blue drove right down the field to the Cornell 17, 60 yards In ten plays. Tossed back for ten yards there by a penalty and a reverse which was Penn called on Capt. Gene Davis to kick a field goal from the 3 yard line and Tenn was off. CAPITALIZATION ON A BREAK WHICH THEY HELPED MAKE GAVE THE HUSKERS VICTORY.

Leading 13 to 7, Iowa was put in a fourth quarter hole by the Nebraska line. Hawkeye Tom Farmer tried to boot his mates out, but End Fred Preston smothered his kick and the ball bounded backward toward the Iowa end zone. Bill (Ireen, another Iowa back, gave chase along with a gang of fighting Nebraskans. Jack Hazen, sophomore end from Omaha, tvon the race, fell on ball in end zone for a touchdown which knotted the count. (Staff photos.)

VP). The Nittany Lions of Penn Stat college SI to 7 victory over an ancif nt Pittsburgh since 1919 before 33,000 fans. In the first quarter, it looked like Edgar "Special Delivery" Jones Intended to defeat State sensationally and single handedly just as he had whipped Fordham and Nebraska. Jones ran 43 yards to give Pitt a 7 to 0 lead in the first quarter, but after that the State defense sota team was one or tne an-ume great Gopher elevens Saturday and Smith was tne mg reason. The moment he entered the battle he sparked a power blast which almost blew the game Badgers put of Memorial stadium.

Just Five Minutes. About five minutes after the opening kickoff, Smith, the blond Gopher bombshell, went in ana on five plays Minnesota had a touchdown. His 45 yard pass to Bill Garnaas came just three plays before he galloped 18 yards thru right tackle for the first Gopher score. With 12 seconds of the period remaining Smith pounded off right tackle again. Picking his spots brilliantly, he raced 39 yards be fore being surrounded at the Wis consin 7.

he whipped a lateral to Bob Fitch, who continued on over the Badger goal line. Early in the second period Smith intercepted Bud Seelinger's first pass of the day, then raced 42 yards to the Wisconsin 11. am Daley who with Bob Sweiger ripped the Badger line wide open crashed to the 2-foot iark on two plays before driving across. Wisconsin Scores. Then it was that Wisconsin staged a 73 yard march that saved A I r-J 1 Ifn der took a lateral from Seelinger and, running over three Gophers with sheer power, drove over the Minnesota goal line from the lu.

His try for point was low ana wide. i Just before the period ended Kulbitski intercepted Seelinger's pass at the Wisconsin 25 and ran unmolested for another Gopher i score. In the third period Smith passed to Daley, who caught the ball at the Badger 15 and raced over the payoff stripe. In the final period, Smith suffered a recurrence or me knee injury which handicapped him in several recent games, but Minnesota scored anyway.

Oklahoma stomps on Marquette Sooners run up 6144 count NORMAN, Okla. M1). Oklahoma shoved Marquette's Golden Avalanche back uphill Saturday, 61 to 14, after the invaders had roarea down on the Sooners to take a first quarter lead.

It was a weird exhibition or football, and a sad one for Tom Stidham, returning to the scene of his former triumphs as head coach of Marquette. He left Oklahoma last year. The 8,000 spectators wno Dravea the chill and drizzly day saw the Hilltoppers smash and run to two first period counters after the Sooners had rocked the invaders with a 56 yard dash to pay dirt. That original scoring play was made by Orv Mathews, great little Sooner quarterback, who had orders to call his own number, and did it until forced out with a side injury in the second period. He fumbled on his own 44, took the ball on the first bounce, sped thru left tackle, cut to his left and so far outdistanced Marquette defenders that he turned to wave at them.

Marquette Leadt. With Robert McCahill, Mar quette left half, passing, the Hill toppers went into action, a yara pass to End Ray Carlson finding touchdown territory. Shortly thereafter, Charles Beyer covered Mathews' fumble on the Sooner 29, and Fullback Douglas Renzcl went to town, cracking the tackles until they eave wav and letting him thru for 14 yards and a touchdown. But that was all for Marquette. Oklahoma took charge to score twice more in the second, three times in the third and thrice more In the final quarter, picking fum bles out of the air, intercepting passes and in general playing havoc with the Hilltoppers' offen sive thrusts.

Associated Press Sport Writer.

The contest snapped a five-game Cornhusker losing streak.

BY PAUL WAGNER.

United Press Staff Correspondent. Fullback Vike Francis raised victory-starved Nebraska from the depths of its worst season this century to a 14-13 win over stubborn Iowa in a driving snowstorm. Francis, tripped by a geography course that kept him ineligible for two weeks, turned critical Nebraska fans into roaring supporters with vicious plunges that ripped thru Iowa's defence.

They called the roll of Minnesota football immortals Saturday night for a new name was added to that select roster. Yes, they put Captain Bruce Smith among the greats because, in his farewell appearance, the 200 pound blonde back probably stood out more brilliantly than at any previous time. Minnesota had everything because they had Bruce Smith. That was again conclusively proved Saturday. Wisconsin came for the final challenge against the Golden Gophers with a big, fast, shifty ball club a squad, if you please, that had averaged 22 points in six 1941 games.

Such a situation called for Captain Smith's appearance and never did the Minnesota captain perform more impressively. He just simply came in and broke up the ball game just as he had overcome the first and the courage and the skill of many an-i other team during his career. Big Six Iowa State It. Kanaa Stat.
