LINCOLN EVENING JOURNAL, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER tl, 1937. SEVENTEEN national weekly went out of its way to put D. X. Bible in an unfavorable light. "Money for the stars of college football? This coach boldly admits it!" That was one of the catch lines.

The item itself doesn't- bear out this at all. The point of it was in Bible's own words: "I don't believe in Wading for football material and paying: I do believe in giving a boy a chance to work his way thru college. Primarily, I am interested in football players who want to work their way thru college. They will receive that opportunity at the University of Texas. Their salary will be 50 cents an hour.

No boy will be permitted to earn more than any other boy. All work will be done In ipare time and the most any boy can earn is fO a month, a limit Mt by the Southwest conference." Well, what's so sensational that? What college doesn't offer the same thing to the lads willing to work? And if the college doesn't the downtown alumni will.

m. Saturday. Mrs. Tillson opened the International tournament In Omaha riot so long ago and she rolled a perfect "pocket hit" for a strike. She has been bowling for the past 33 years regularly.

She's at least 80 years old. Teams from GTand Island, Fremont, Nebraska City, Utlca, Hastings, Falls City and Lincoln are entered. Dorothy Ragan is Lincoln's highest average bowler and has been among the women pin top- piers for several seasons. She is rolling with the Modern quintet. ANOTHER SLANT.

The Nebraska Cornhuskers come to town Saturday, the eighth team to try to upset the Pitt Panthers cut-up on the gridiron at Pitt stadium. All ticket agencies have been sold out for days. The rush for tickets started the week after Neb a a a defeated Minnesota's Gophers, 14 to 9. The normal seating 1 capacity Is 62,000, but temporary, bleachers are being 1 constructed along the cinderpath that circles the playing field. The attendance is expected to go to 73,000 to exceed the 70,060 fans at last year's Notre Dame-Pitt game here when the Panthers walloped the Irish 26-0.

More than 25.000 applications for tickets had to be refused, school officials said. The largest attendance at Pitt was at the 1930 game when the Irish brought one of their greatest teams here defeated the Panthers, 35 to 19. That 74,247 persons jammed the stadium. Both Pitt and. Nebraska are rated among the nation's best despite their seasons being marred by tie games.

Pitt was tied once by the strong Fordham eleven, 0-0, while ebraska was held to a scoreless deadlock by Oklahoma and 13-13 by Kansas university last week. Hushers Rate High. The Pitt players, however, are being told by the coaching staff that Nebraska is a good team, a team that has proven it can come from behind and has taken advantage of every opportunity and break in their games. Harold "Josh" Williams, Pitt backfield coach, has watched the Comhuskers in five games. He says Nebraska is a smart team.

"They bide their time and when the chance comes, they make the most of it," Williams reported. "Nebraska's new coach, Biff Jones, opened the season without knowing niuch about his team," Williams said, "and consequently he started with the idea of building for the future. "He has used two and three teams each game, and consequently hasn't run up big scores. Only one touchdown has been scored against the first team," according to Williams. In six games, Nebraska has scored 61 to Its opponents 29.

Panthers Big Scorers. A look at the Panthers' record shows them to be much stronger on the offense. The Panthers have chalked up 152 points in seven games, (none against Fordham) while their opponents have scored three touchdowns, all on forward passes. The game should develop into a battle of lines and the question which might give the results of the game is: "Which line will open up first?" Pitt, however, has "two lines," one possibly as good as the other. Nebraska and Pitt have met on the gridiron 11 times.

Only once, in 1921, could Nebraska win. Since 1927, Pitt has defeated the Corn- huskers seven times. Three times the games ended scoreless. The worst defeat Pitt gave Nebraska was in 1931 when the Panther rambled to a 40-0 victory. COACH SCHULTE WILL ATTEND A.

It was noticeable that against the Irish, Minnesota moved with more deception when Gmitro was at the helm, so when the Iowa game came up, Bernie Blerman had him direct the from right half; which saved Vic Spadaccini's blocking power to team. Used Passing Game. Against Iowa, Gmitro revived Minnesota's passing game--forward and lateral--and discarded to a large extent, the thunderous power plays used so futilely against Nebraska, Indiana and Noire Dame. Four of Gopher touchdowns on Iowa, were made off forwards or laterals and the 'ifth, achieved on a power drive of 14 yards, was preceded by a forward pass. The pass game was important to Minnesota's success over the part four but it is typical of the Vikings, that they do not establish their open plays early in any campaign.

Minnesota could not make its laterals go against Indiana or Michigan and attempted them infrequently against Notre Dame, altho one, combined with a forward, scored against the Irish. It took Gmitro to finally make the pasaea click. Gmitro, as nimble witted as he is nimble footed, never has' been used to the fullest extent by Minnesota coaches. As a sophomore he made great runs against Michigan and as a junior had the best ground gaining average of any Gopher back. But beciaUM of his size he always was behind Alfonse or Roscoe or some other right half with greater stature and weight.

A Fine BlDcker. For a small lad, Gmitro is a fine blocker, using finesse to compensate for his lack of weight, and loves the rough work. So long as Andy Uram was running at left half, Rudy's speed and ball carrying was not so essential to Minnesota's success but when agile Andrew out with a fractured wrist, it was necessary to make Gmitro a -mail carrier. He carried the ball only twice against Notre Dame and Minnesota will long regret that, for Gmitro was the one Gopher back with sufficient speed to worry that supercharged Irish team. It was little Rudy who scored two of Minnesota's touchdowns against Iowa.

It is too much to say Minnesota would have beaten Nebraska and Notre Dame with Gmitro calling signals. But scouts who have sat on the Gophers all season, declare the team ran with its greatest smoothness and consistency against Iowa, when the little man was cracking 1 the So Gmitro will be field boss when Minnesota plays Northwestern Saturday, in the game it must win to capture the Big Ten championship; which has new value now that all chances for national honors are gone."

NEW is always iome annoying correspondent who ticks out the hottest spot for a "ellow to stand on. One writes, 'please step out and name the best five football teams in the country--in order." There's no such animal.

Cer- ainly, California, Pittsburgh, Tordham, and Alabama are among he best four, but none of these could have gone unbeaten thru a 'Jotre Dame schedule. I don't be- ieve any team In the country could take Minnesota and Pitts- urgh on successive Saturdays. Outside of Nebraska and Penn Pitt still has a terrific party eft with Duke at Durham. Don't forget that schedules play a big mrt in making records. I've been asked how Yale and Dartmouth, in the Ivy sector, compare with Pitt and Fordham.

I've seen all four play. I wouldn't know. Pitt and Fordham have slightly the stronger lines, but certainly no better backs. Clint Frank is still the top. Goldberg isn't so far away.

But MacLeod and Hutchinson are the best two backs on any one the four teams. Of the four, I'd say Pitt has the better all around backfield with Goldberg, Stebbins, Patrick, Cassiano, etc. But I don't believe any of the other three has a field general as smart as Frank. That can make a big difference. Auburn and Villanova, Thon there are teams such Auburn and Villanova, which on an given day might beat anybody.

Three or four experts have told me these two teams are the best they have seen. At this point, you can pick up the trail of Colorado, with a brilliant back in Byron White. This Colorado team would be a match for anyone. Competition in the southwest Is so savage and evenly balancec that anything can happen at any time. Most of these teams are no only well matched, but quite strong.

It was all that a fine Fordham team could do to beat T. by a point, yet T. C. U. has been tied by Arkansas and Texas A fe and has been beaten by Baylor and Centenary.

T. C. has had nothing but tough afternoons since Sept. 25, Only a super squad could stand that test. We'll know about Alabama after the Georgia Tech game.

Georgia Tech is good, but erratic. Duke is a till one of the stronger teams. there are too many on a for anyone to nominate the best or the five best. CI.YCY OLD-TIMER DIES. CINCINNATI.
