University of Kansas Saturday began its seCond quarter century without celebrating a victory over Nebraska. Ther were 28,000 patrons plus 35 bands who watched Cornhusker power mixed with deceptive reverses fairly push the Jays off the field with a final reckoning of Nebraska '12, Knnsaa 0. It was proof again that no matter how efficient a passing attack may be, it won't provide points unless it can be spliced into a running attack.

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP). A lucky passing attack, used desperately to compensate for a misfiring formation, exploded for touchdowns in every quarter Saturday as Missouri's Tigers swept aside Kansas State, 35 to 0, in a Big Six game. A small crowd of 10,000 roared the Tigers on their second successive victory of the season while Coach Don Faurot kept a stream of 33 substitutions flowing against a game Kansas State force that had speed and that was about all. i action, and uiinj learn was roaring toward another touchdowa when ths pUtol shot ended the gam.

It It Truer la Nebraska that good? After taking two steps toward retention of Us Big Six title, the Cornhusker eleven la still an unknown quantity. There's speed and power, and evidently a lot of rugged young fellows who want to play football, but the sldellners were refusing to go out on a limb until they see Nebraska against Indiana here next Saturday. That one should answer a lot of questions which are still being asked. Dale Bradley, playing the out field in major league fashion nipped three of the 20 passes which Ralph Miller. Ray Nlblo and Ray Evans sprayed over the turf during the afternoon; Wayne Blue did a "Johnny Klmbroueh" once by running the end for a neat gain; Ken 81mmonj was lipping outside tackle on reverses after Allen Zlkmund whd had been do ing the same thing, limped from the field.

My, how that boy Zlkmund can run! Those long strides appeared to be eating up about 10 yards every time he put a foot down when he had gained full momentum; the blocking of Vlke Francis was important and the hard slashing runs of Howard Debus alao contributed to the smashing defeat of the Kansana. Line Steps 'Em. The play of the Hunker line- all three of 'em! held Kansas to a net gain rushing of exactly no yards. The Jays gained 60 and lost 60 In this department when Game Captain George Abel, Clarence Hernoon, and the rest kept bumping, thru to spill those "spinner wing" plays before they developed. There were few times that Kansas appeared like It was going any place and on those rare occa sions penalties or interceptions shut off the threat The parade of touchdowns started after 6 minutes had elapsed and continued light down io ine final gun when those third stringers missed a final counter by inches when Randall Salisbury broke thru the middle.

A list of Nebraska's point making exhibitions: 1. Dale Bradley cut off one of Ralph Miller's long passes and ran 58 yards to the Jayhawk 17. In six plays Vike Francis churned thru the middle for six points but his placekick for the extra point was wide. First Team In. 2.

9. Debus and Blue battered it into pay dirt on three plays. 5. Exactly a minute and a half later the Huskers scored on three plays, Ray Long, the blond from Blair, playing his first time in a varsity game, broke over left tackle, lateralled to Bobby Cooper and it put the Huskers on the K. U.

Saturday for Stanford Rose Bowl champions of last season and Oregon State won, 10 to 0. Stanford, with Frahkie Albert leading the push for their 13th straight victory, ran into 11 smooth-working, husky, orange-clad Oregon staters and couldn't score a point Bob Dethman and Don Durdan, as clever a pair of backs as can be found on the Pacific Coast, maneuvered in the first period to the T.C.U. holds off Indiana lo win, 20-14 Hoosiers fail in last period BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (UP). Texas Christian university pow red its way Into a comfortable lead over Indiana university Satur day, then was Jorced to battle with Its back against the wall to withstand a savage last period assault and come away with a 20 to 14 victory in an intersection! football game.

FJicept for a few minutes early In the contest, TCU completely dominated play during the first thrre periods and assumed a 20 to 7 lead early In the final quarter. Then Indiana came to life and made a ball game of it. Bill Hillenbrand, Indiana's famed sopho more, whipped a 45 yard pass to Chuck Jacoby who took the ball on the TCU 22 snd raced for the score unmolested. Twice In lhe closing moments Indiana threatened to tie or win the game. Once the Hooslen marched 38 yards to TCU's 17 before losing the ball on downs.

Sparked by Hillenbrand's 26 yard return of a punt, they roared back to the TCU 7 In the last minute but again the husky TCU line was equal to the task. The Hoosiers started like a ball of fire. They took the opening kickoff and drove 67 yards for a touchdown before TCU ever had possession of the ball. With the ball on TCU's 19, Earl Doloway flipped a pass to Hillenbrand who stepped over. Gene White kicked the point that sent Indiana Into a 7 to 0 lead.

Phil Roach converted from placement to ite it up. TCU went ahead, 13 to 7, in the third period on straight power plays. Starting on their own 22, the Tcxans marched 78 yards for the score, Gillespie smashing off tackle for the final 4 yards. Roach's attempted placekick for the point was blocked. Indiana set up TCU's final touchdown late In the third period when Hillenbrand tried to pass from behind his own goal.

Frank Meda-nich Intercepted on the 10 and on the first play of the fourth period Gillespie drove over from the 2-yard line and Medanlch converted.

Two pint-sized Spartan ball carriers, Fullback Bob Sherman and Halfback Dick Kleppe, touched off the fireworks that gave State its first win of the season and marked the first loss for new coach Tom Stidham's Marquette eleven, Kieppe, who outshone Marquette's heralded Jimmy Richardson, counted the winning touchdown on a brilliant 53 yard punt return midway in the fourth period. He outfelnted a half dozen Marquette tacklers in his pay-off jaunt down the sidelines. Sherman capped an 85 yard State touchdown march that drew the first blood of the game late in the second period with a goal-line buck from the 2-yard stripe. Score on Pats. Altho threatening thruout the game on Richardson's passing and running, Marquette's only score came in the closing minutes of the second period when Johnny Goodyear picked off a pass from Richardson in the end zone.

The defeat ended Stanford's spectacular streak of victories on Unlucky 13. Rain fell continuously as the boys from Oregon State knocked dowta or intercepted Albert's passes and pushed back the surging Stanford line. Not Albert, but Durdan and Dethman, who last week swept Oregon State to an upset 9-6 victory over University of Washington, stole the show. 8tiner Takes Bow. Singularly, it was a former University of Nebraska player, Lon Stiner, who became the coaching toast of the country.

It was doubly pleasing to the baldish yet young mentor. He evened up in part for his alma mater. Stanford whipped Nebraska In the Rose 4Bowl last New Year's day. It rained Just before game time and almost thruout. In the last quarter, the downpour was so heavy it made visibility poor.

Despite pre-game predictions by Coach Clark Shaughnessy and his aides that wet weather would not handicap the formation, the reverse was true. The swift flanker movements springing from man in motion plays, slowed up noticeably. Dry balls were used frequently but they became slippery almost at once. All-America Quarterback Frank Albert, striving desperately to bring his team back from the brink of defeat, couldn't grip the ball to complete some of his southpaw passes.

A homecoming crowd of 22,000 came to watch Washington State's Halfback Bill Sewell pass his team to victory, but remained to see the Washington sophs, Halfback Bob Barrett and Fullback Meir Brooks, save the game for the Huskies.

The teams fought In mldfield thru the first quarter. As the second period opened, Sewell whipped a 15 yard pass to Fletcher, who rambled 15 more to the Washington 3. Londos punched it across in two plays. Two minutes later, Sewell tossed 30 yards to Fletcher, who raced across the goal line. Then Barrett and Brooks began to click.

They drove 60 yards to the W. S. C. 5, where the ball, was lost on downs. A bad pass from center went over Sewell's head.

He recovered behind the goal line, giving Washington a safety. Washington marched 70 yards to score in four plays after the second half opened. The Huskies started another touchdown drive, Brooks going over from the 4 In the final period, Washington drove 37 yards for the third Husky touchdown. Kearney uses passing attack to drop Peru Bobcat margin overcome, 13-7 PERU, Neb. Coach Pop Klein's Kaarney college eleven cut loose with a second half passing attack here Saturday to overcome a Peru lead and defeat the Bobcats 13 to 7.

End Paul Blessing made a spectacular catch of an 8 yard toss to give Kearney a tie, and a few minutes later P. Petersen snared an 18 yard toss and fought 13 yards to pay dirt. Peru's marker came in the first half when Halfback Wendell Handley skirted the Kearney wing for 85 yards. Eighteen passes were thrown during the contest but only three were completed. Kearney made 12 first downs while Peru collected 10.

It was lanky Bob Steuber, half' back, who motivated the aerial maneuvers, slinging a 40 yard pass in the first quarter which connected with End Bert Ekern for a touchdown. It came after an early safety and should have given Kansas State the key of what was to follow. For Missouri scored again in the second, twice in the third and again In the last, using the air lanes for the ride. Wildcats Close. The Wildcats, without a win in three starts, squirmed to 12 yards from a touchdown in the last period, the closest they came to a score, but Francis Gwin's passes were knocked down in the end zone and the threat fizzled.

Missouri's model T'Just wasn't synchronized and half way thru the first quarter It was replaced with a single wing fot up which bristled with laterals. Harold Adams lateralCd to Steuber in the second quarter resulting in a 20 yard run to glory dirt. Little Harry Ice shot a mighty 45 yard pass to Ekern who needed only to turn on his speed the remaining 20 yards in the big third period. A few minutes later Sophomore Dick Keller took a punt from Kansas State Quarterback Bill Quick, lateraled to Sophomore Red Wade who wiggled thru the entire Wildcat team for 65 yards and another touchdown. Fred Bouldin, another sophomore halfback, lateraled to Sophomore Jim Darr who pumped 15 yards to the last score.
