They picture the Cornhuskers, with wisps of hay, grain and seeds clinging to their uniforms, as roaring into the Bowl after the manner of a bull into the Seville ring, your imagination off its tether as they talk and you can almost picture the Nebraskans and pawing the turf Frankly.

I wish there had been the 50-yard line and then, more stuff published along the lines that Grantland Rice and Bill Cunningham dashed off. I can assure you it would have been republished in The Journal because there's nothing like it as a psychological tonic. It rakes the flanks of a thorobred like a roweled spur. If you mind your metaphors mixed without the aid of a swizzle- stick, Cunningham closed with the suggestion that the Huskers should not be sruprt.sed if they are at Pasadena. good advice, at that, Tho.se things can happen.

ON THE GROUND This reference to passing, how'- ever, recalls some figures that tiave just been published on the national professional league which indicates that the running game that still pays the dividends. And Nebraska has early, middle and late foot on the ground. The Philadelphia Eagles led the pro loop in passes completed, but won only one game.

'The Chicago Bears, champions of the circuit, not only scored the moat touchdowms but led on yards gained by rushing. If recall that recent avalanche of touchdowns which the Bears put over to annihilate the Washington Redskins, most of these had their Inception in running plays. Charley Johnson of the Minenapolls Star Journal summed it up thus: straight football and not a wild pas.sing attack still is the biggest asset in success no matter whether aimon pure or money play. George Halas is one of the old gridiron school. Under Zuppke, he learned early that tricks and passes were all right in their place, but a team get along without a sound running In the nine regularly scheduled gam-s, Nebraska carried the ball 483 times for yards and lo.sl 271 yards for an average of 3.85 yards per try.

That's sound enough for me. Thank heaven stopping this afternoon at Tucumcari and not Albur Alberqu Albor- kerkee because I think the way spelled and 1 forgot to bring a dictionary.

E. E. MOCKETT, captain of the first Nebraska football team was pre.sented with a letter Thursday night at the rally. He is shown trying on the sweater after the rally. During the time Mr.

Mockett played for the Cornhuskers the honor sweaters were not awarded. with a bellow of rage, charging gloriously and madly in the direction of the Stanford team. Wait for Kill. If the scores of football filberts I have talked to since reaching here are correct in their estimates, the team will await the thundering charge of the invaders like 11 Belmonts or Sidney Franklins, not at all afraid of death in the afternoon, or even contusions and abrasions in the afternoon. Light, fast, graceful, airy and pol.sed, the Stanford team so I'm told will dip, dart, elude and confuse the Nebraska bull.

Its sprinting ilalfback, operating behind the red cape of the formation, will draw the bull out of position. Matador Frankie Albert will hara.ss the clumsy monster with his stinging pa.s.ses, and prepare him for the kill as twilight gathers in the arroyo seco. Such is the picture of the Ro.se Bowl game that Californians have conjured up, and so vivid is it that I am fully expecting to have to put my hands over my eyes at certain parts of the game. I am going to be dreadfully disappointed if the Stanford players wear caps and carry swords, and if the sponsors of the team wear black lace mantillas, wear roses and combs In their hair, and have their duennas with them. Huskers Smart.

Speaking as a man who has seen the Nebraska bull in action, 1 feel that the Californians may well be in for a surprise. It is an amazingly smart bull. It is very fast for such a big bull, to start with. It can move with what amounts to grace, and there is no clumsiness about it. one of the few bulls that knows how to throw, catch and Intercept passes, and it has a little trick of its own called the reverse which it does so well that even a California matador might 1 excused for being i fooled bv it.

The sectional swing, sudden but definite, over-balanced the remarkable rebound of Stanford in the far west and the upsurge of independents In the east. Four midland teams were ranked by the United Press among the ten best the nation and four midlands players were named All America. The United Press placed Minnesota at the head of the parade with Michigtin a close second and Stanford, Tennessee, Boston College, Texas A.

Nebraska, Mlssi.ssippl State, Fordham and Northwestern following in order. Gophers obviously were the strongest. They played thru to a perfect season, winning the Big Ten title and defeating Nebraska and Wa.shington In inter-sectional games. Michigan, loser by only a point to the Gophers, crushed Penn, Harvard and California and produced the standout individual performer in the great Tom Harmon. Northwestern, altho twice beaten, was unquestionably strong.

Stanford in Comeback. Stanford, in climbing from the collar to the peak on the Pacific coast, contributed a great comeback and gave Clark Shaughnessy first claim to the title of coach of the year. The by College the undisputed leader, celebrating a second season under Frank Leahy without defeat or tie and receiving the Sugar Bowl bid. Rams, their hopes for a perfect year broken by a St. field goal, invited to the Cotton Bowl.

Penn and Cornell prevented a collapse in the Ivy league. Yale and Harvard fell apart, Princeton and Dartmouth were below average, and Columbia, while strong, lacked scoring punch. Tennessee swept to the southeastern conference title and topped its section. Mississippi State, with the best team In its history, had a record marred only by a tie and was second with Mississippi a strong third. Tennessee drew the Sugar Bowi bid while Mississippi State accepted the offer of the Orange Bowl.

MIDDLE WEST Minnesota was the powerhouse and took the Big Ten crown by virtue of two one-point triumphs. Harmon broke Red conference scoring record with 33 touchdowns and 45 conversions. The biggest surprise in this conference was the disintegration of Ohio Buckeyes, who had one of their worst teams of all time. Huskers on Top. In the Big Six Nebraska broke the reign of Missouri and took the title and the Rose Bowl bid without a ('onferenoe defeat.

The Cornhuskers lost to Minnesota by a touchdown, but whipped Pitt, Iowa and Indiana. Oklahoma second with one conference defeat and Missouri was third. 'Tulsa won out in the Missouri Valley race without defeat in its own circuit and Oklahoma A. M. was second.

The most pertinent legislative development in this section was rejection by the Big Ten athletic boards of a pact proposed by the Pacific Coast loop in which the Big Ten champion automatically would have been matched with the western title winner in the Rose Bowl, making the New Years game a closed corporation.

NEW YORK. (UP). A pair of world champions meet Friday night at Madison Square parden in a ten round bout that will decide nothing except the age-old question of whether a good big man can lick a good little man. The big man is Fritzie Zivic of Pittsburgh, world welterweight champion, who ha.s been established as a 9 to 5 favorite. The little man is Lew Jenkins, lightweight champion, a scrawny little guy whp, pound for pound, probably is the hardest hitter in boxing.

Neither title will be at stake when the boys square away and the only conditions are that Zivic must come in at 144 pounds or less. Jenkins, at around 134, will be giving away almost ten pounds, which is quite a chunk of bone and muscle among the little fellows. Expect Knockout. It is unlikely that the 15,000 customers will get to see ten rounds of boxing. Jenkins is an authentic killer-ililler if he gets a right hand shot at a jaw, Zivic can throw the thunderbolts, too.

Fritzie have the knack of slamming a man into unconsciousness with one punch, but he has a wearing attack that takes the steam out of his opponents. One reason the betting favors Zivic is that both men have fought Henry Armstrong with widely varying results. Jenkins went out last July, fired everything he had at Armstrong and took such a beating in return that he was unable to answer the bell for the sixth and lost on a technical knockout. A few weeks ago Zivic fought Armstrong for the welterweight title and won. He gave Henry such a bad beating around the eyes that the little Negro was partly blinded and lost the title.

Boston college is great team BY HENRY SUPER.

NEW YORK. (UP). The Boston college team which plays Tennessee in the New Orleans Sugar Bowl is the kind of eleven that most coaches dream of and get perhaps once in a lifetime. The Eagles went thru a 10-game schedule unbeaten; they were the highest scoring team in the nation; they won the Lambert trophy, emblematic of the eastern championship; they had five players named on Various All-America teams; and eight of their seniors were on the recent national football league draft list.

A total of 106 football players who opposed the Glendale Goer, Frankie Albert, this season, voted regarding their thoughts on quarterbacks. Ninety-two of them said he was the best number-nanier encountered all season. Who the other gents voted for is not revealed by the mess of figures compiled by Norm Sper and presently on my desk. Roy Petsch, the Nebraska quarterback, corralled five votes, all from Missouri, out of the 108 voting opponents. Albert w-as the unanimous choice of the U.S.F., Washington State, Washington and Oregon teams.

Santa Clara did not return a vote. The Trojans gave the Indian fla.sh 16 out of 20, while but 9 of the 19 Bruins who voted thought Albert best. Comparing the Cornhusker and Indian halfbacks, as rated by opponents, we find a peculiar situation: the three Nebraskans, Hopp, Rohrig and Luther, are about equal, Kmetovic stands out as a and hardly anyone, seemingly, paid much attention to Gallarneau! Hopp got 23 votes as out of 108 cast, and he must hive been hot against Iowa State because 14 of the 19 latter players tagged him above all others they tried to tackle. Rohrig was more con.sistent, being mentioned by all opponents except Iowa; he was hot against Indiana, getting 13 of his 19 votes from that one game. Kmetovic Tops.

Kmetovic scared the panties off all the boys, evidently, because every team voted for him as and added to a total of 64 of 106 votes, Oregon State and S. C. rated him quite highly. On the other hand, the lad Clark Shaughnes.sy says was the most underrated man on the team, Hugh Gallarneau, drew but three from U.C.L.A. and one from Washington State out of 106 votes ca.st.

Yet Gallarneau made more yards, 599. than any other Stanford back and was the most dependable, losing but two yards all season. difficult to figure that one. Francis, of Nebraska, rated the from 17 percent of the boys he played against, he, as Hopp, being hot in the low'a State game and gathering 13 from this one team. Standlee was tops to 60 percent of his opponents.

Either Nebraska did not have a center who rated highly with opponents, or the figures have been lost, because they here nohow. Lindskog was tagged best by 17 percent of the lads he faced, S. C. and Washington rating him stronger than the other clubs. Cornhusker Guards Good.

Nebraska must have a tough pair of guards, because Alfson made several All-American teams, opponents did not think he was as tough as his running mate, Schwartzkoff. Adding up the votes we find that 31 percent of the latter's opponents rated him tops, while but 28 percent said Alfson was it. The players who opposed Stanford evidently think that one Indian guard is a pip while both the other ones are down the line considerably, Robesky got but one vote, from S. Palmer got nine, also from S.C, and Taylor got 45 from Oregon, S.C., Washington and Washington State. The Bruins and Trojans gave Banducci nine votes as best tackle encountered and no one else gave him.

or the other Indian tackle spot, a single vote. Does this mean the tackle holes are the weak ones on the Stanford team? It is certain that Nebraska, w-ith its double wingback plays, to say nothing of the single-wing power stuff, will give those tackle spots a merry afternoon, Jan. 1. And Tackles, Too! Behm and Kahler, the Nebra.s- ka tackles, are rated highly by opponents, and are not going to be ea.sy for Stanford to move out of the way. Behm.

placed on All-American teams, was given 34 percent of his votes, while Kahler got 26 percent. The two Nebraska ends, Prochaska and Preston, are turnabout boys; when one goes cool the other goes hot, if the way opponents voted means thing. Preston got 15 out of 16 votes from Oklahoma, which ignored Prochaska. Then Iowa, a strong team, went unanimous with 15 votes for Prochaska and ignored Preston. The latter, over the season, got 20 percent of his votes, while Prochaska was given 25 percent.

opponents did not agree with the majority of all star pickers when it came to naming the best end in the conference; Graff given 33 percent of the votes as tops, while Meyer, favored by the all-star pickers, was given but two votes out of 106. It would appear, from the above, that Nebraska has no stars but a general, on-a-par strength all over its club; while Stanford, with Taylor, Kmetovic, Standlee and Albert, have peak power spots which but balance the low spots. Or so opponents think. Biff as siircessor to Wood WEST POINT, N. Y.
