22 Wednesday. Sept. 23. Lincoln Killing Journal Slfltc Journal 5- May Be Wrong iniiiiiitiuiiiiHiiimiiiHiniiHiniimiiiiiUNiiHumiiiiiiiiiiiiiinunm By Dick Becker Journal Editor Everytime Nebraska and Minnesota get together for a football festival, the old games are always discussed and as the Huskers have won only 5 times, it isn't too hard to recall the wins. But one play in the long series stands out above the others.

It was Andy Uram's 70-yard punt return that beat the Huskers in 1936. Back in 1945 Esquire magazine put out its first Sports Header and writers and coaches voted that run the 2nd most thrilling of all time. Here, by Dick Cullum of the Minneapolis Times, is an account of that heart-breaker: "There were 68 seconds left to play in the Nebraska- Minnesota game at Minneapolis on Oct. 10, 1936. Nebraska had the ball on its 43-yard line.

During the series of plays leading up to the punt, Fullback Sam Francis, Nebraska best punter, had been removed in favor of sophomore Ron Douglas. Oklahoma Coach Culprit "He punted a high, short one to Bud Wilkinson on Minnesota's 28-yard line. It was an easy one to cover and several Nebraska men were converging on Wilkinson when he caught the ball near the sideline to his left. "Wilkinson took the first step or two in a fading run to the inside and backward, drawing all the tacklers toward It was not until one of them had him by the leg and was hauling him down that he let go. Uram caught it on the 23-yard line.

"It was unquestionably one of football's finest plays from there on. Bernie Bierman has called it the most perfectly executed spur-of-the-moment play ever to come to his attention. He insists that every man used the maximum of good judgment in every one of the many maneuvers involved in clearing the way for Uram who, himself, used perfect judgment in setting his pace and choosing his course. "It said Bierman, 'the only play I've ever seen which arose spontaneously and reflected perfection in every "It has often been said, in enthusing over a great run carried along by great blocking that 'every opposing player was on his back' as the runner crossed the goal line. In this play, however, this statement is literally true.

A careful check of the movies show that, at one stage of the play, every Nebraska player was, in dead truth, flat on his back. The fact that this phenomenal and brilliant play decided a tough ball game, 7-0 in the final minute has helped make stick out." Heated Series As the series takes on another game this fall, there are mingled reactions, especially up in Minnesota. There is pitched warfare going on between the MU athletic department and the Gopher alums. Ike Armstrong, athletic director, is the main target of the alums, and along with Armstrong, Murray Warmath, the MU coach. Also disturbing to Minnesotans is the inroads being made by Nebraska recruiters in the northland.

Actually. NU has just two Minnesotans this year. They are Guard Al Fischer and Quarterback Ron Meade. There are only 3 on the freshman team. Peet attempts in 103 yards.

Lebsack NE general. Lopez to Pilot Chisox in 9 60 Cleveland, Ohio (UPI) Al Lopez, the a i senor whose masterminding enabled the Chicago White Sox to end a 40-year American League pennant famine, -indicated Wednesday he'll be back at the helm next year of the go-go boys. "If we would have lost, I would have quit," Lopez said. "Now I guess I'll sit down and talk (Bill) Veeck within the next few days." The genial manager, whose charges won the pennant Tuesday night by spilling ihe Cleveland Indians, 4-2, in a spine-tingling affair, also promised "too play hard" in the remaining 3 games. Lopez explained that "the red-hot race for 4th place" meant he'll go with his best when the Sox wind up the season in Detroit this week end.

The beaming Lopez, who now has won two pennants (the first as an Indian in Chicagoans Go Wild As Chisox Get Payoff Chicago UP) The Go-Go White Sox returned to find their city really gone in the wee hours Wednesday morning over hicago's first American League pennant in 40 years. Some 15,000 wild-eyed fans waited from before 11 p.m. to past 1 a.m., (CST) at the airport for the return of the victorious Sox from Cleveland. Long before that, sirens had blasted out the news that the White Sox were in the World Series. Tears of joy glistened in the eyes of both club i President Chuck Comiskey and Manager Al Lopez as the big 4-engined plane, delayed two hours, wheeled into the archlighted setting at the airport.

While the Chicago Fire Department band played and the thousands cheered, the players poured out of the plane to a hilarious greeting. It was almost 4Vz hours after White Sox had won their thrilling pennant-clincher from the Indians, 4-2, in Cleveland. The loudest cheers went to Luis Aparicio, the phenomenal little shortstop, who started a game-ending play; Al Smith, who made a great ran-killing throw and hit a homer; and veteran Early Wynn, who got credit for the big win. First to greet the players were Sox President Bill Veeck and his wife, and Mayor Richard J. Daley.

Venezuela, commented just before the plane landed: "This is the best play I ever make in my life." He was referring to his quick scoop of Vic Power's hot bounder with the bases loaded his dash across second base and his sharp relay to first doubling Power.

Smith, the Cleveland Indian who has had his share of boos from fans in both Cleveland and Chicago, kept repeating: magic number now is zero." Who would start in the World Series for the Sox? "You can make a good guess," Lopez told sports writers on the victory plane. He winked knowingly when they suggested Wynn or Bob Shaw, his two mound stalwarts all season. Lopez said he would put coach Tony Cuccinello in charge of the Sox as they play out the season against the Tigers in a 3-game set in Detroit this week end. "I'll stay in Chicago and scout San Francisco against the Cubs Wednesday, a either Los Angeles against the Cubs or Philadelphia at Milwaukee this week end. It depends on how things go in the next few days, whether I'll watch Los Angeles or Milwaukee." 1954) since becoming a manager 9 years ago, was the center of congratulations from his players, well-wishers and officials.

Supervisor Named Ken Johnson, North Platte, has been named District 4 supervisor of game, the State Game Commission said Tuesday. Johnson recently received his master's from Western Illinois University, Macomb, 111., and was a game commission employe before that. Johnson was land manager for District 2 in the Bassett office from 1954-56. Joe Cronin, A i a League president, dropped into the dressing room and congratulated the new champions. Ai Smith, an ex-Indian who came back to haunt his former teammates, was the "big man" game-wise and celebration-wise for the White Sox.

Smitty stroked his 16th homer in the 6th to ignite a two run outburst which turned out to be the winning margin and his fine peg in the second cut down Minnie Minoso as he tried to score on a fly. Smith was the leading celebrant with Jim Rivera, who also homered in the 6th. Rivera was dunked clothes and all in the shower.
