Besides throwing two passes for touchdowns, he scored another on a nine yard zig-zagging run off tackle. The crowd of 10,000 saw a 7-6 ball game until the third period and watched Big Seven champions get a touchdown jump on the Big Six team.

A fine 55-yard punt by Don Lockard, Colorado halfback, put Missouri back to its in the second quarter. Standing deep in his end zone Christman, with calm detachment, threw three pas.ses in a row, all incomplete. Then halfback Don leenwood punted only 23 yards. Leo Stasica, conference back and leading Big Seven scorer, tossed two good passes to halfback Vern Miller and punched right tackle for the marker. Down six points, Missouri went to work to cover 72 yards for its first touchdown near the end of the half.

The ball Was on 27 when Christman whipped a high one to left end Bob Steuber for the touchdown. Bill Cunningham came in to place kick the point that put the Tigers in front. second touchdown, which Christman scored, was the reward for a 73-yard drive. The Missouri star dodged four or five C. U.

Two sets of big powerful Nebraska linemen stalled Iowa every step of the way and tore big holes in the Hawkeyes barricade today as the Huskers took a 14 to 6 foot- ball victory over the invading Hawkeyes. It was that line that gave Her- man Rohrig and Harry Hopp all the time in the world to throw the passes that set up the Ne-! braska touchdowns and it was that line that rose up to stifle the Iowa running attack and rush the pass- ers when the Hawkeyes made their few threats. At that, Iowa had the best ball' player in the game in Bill Green, fullback, who ran the ends, drove at the middle and caught passes. Still, Green was the goat of the game, witnessed by 26,000 fans, It was in the first period after Rohrig quick kicked 70 yards to the Iowa 10 that Bill found Lady Luck frowning on hhim. He had driven five yards through tackle when he fumbled, Forrest Behm recovering for the Huskers on the Hawkeye 15.

First Rohrig passed to Walter Luther to put the ball on the seven, then he drove over tackle to the six. Then Nebraska called on Vike Francis, who, moving like a tank through a big hole in the center of the Iowa line, drove for the initial score. Rohrig made it 7 to 0 with a perfect placekick. As the first quarter drew to an end Nebraska started a drive fi'om the Hiisker 18 and moved down the field to a second period touchdown that sewed up the game. With the ball on Iowa 38.

Hopp, on the third play of the second quarter, passed to Luther who took the ball on the 25 and ran to the three before being bumped out. It took Wayne Blue, in for Francis, three punches at the middle to get the score. Tackle Vic Schleich kicked the point and Nebraska led, 14 to 0. uail season opens today.

Needless to say the by the commission on the hunters has been a great help in bringing back the quail to Missouri's fields. Many fine dogs will be in the fields today and this week with every dog owner and hunter doing his or her best to get in on the early hunting.

In accordance with the predictions there were occasional Saturday, clearing up early today, and somewhat colder.

May 1 add, from what I have heard said of owm Harry Sinnett, w'ho played at the University of Missouri some years back, he wu iild be entitled to a position on any All-Time, All-American team.

The old timers give me the information, Mr. Sinnett has the distinction of playing end, and during his entire career at the university, not one yard was gained around his end. To me, I think that is a record that no other football player ever held. It is authentic, as it has been checked. He w'as considered the smallest player on the team, but had everything it took to play football in those tough days.

Asked if this true, Mr. Sinnett had little to say other than to give most of the credit to about ten other players on the team. Hcw'cver he did verify the fact no yards were gained to his know'ledge around his side of the line. he had a dran good football team and one of the best in the country in those days.

Springfield Bears, by defeating the Warrensburg Mules 13 to 0 Friday, reign supreme in the MIAA conference for the first time since 1928. About 4000 football fans sat in a chilly breeze to watch coach Howard Blair's crafty gridders score a clean victory over the much heavier Mule team. It was ironical that the Bears should defeat their more rugged opponents by a 13 to 0 score. For the past two years both teams have played 13 to 13 deadlocks.

The Mules had the ball on Springfield's one yard line in the first quarter but failed to score. The Bears scored in the second and third quarters, Guy Brashear and Dean George showing the way. Brashear plunged over in tne second quarter for the first tally and then the third period Appleman's pass on the Mule 15 yard stripe and picking up KaminsRv for interference, skirted dow the sidelines to You know I personally feel sorry for football fans. much criticism was passed and piled upon Coach Don Davenport last year because the team did not do everything expected of them, then a change came. Still Tigers don't seem to click.

In fact the first quarter of the Jefferson City game they locked worse than any time this season. Coach Benson is getting the hammer. Benson and Davenport are as good coaches as any high school in Missouri has. They both know their stuff, but it seems player.s just click, they lay down on the job until the half rolls around and a hot spieech has to be delivered by the coach, then they come out fighting. I am not saying all of the players are laying down on the job, because there are several of the boys who are putting everything they have into the I DO SAY THERE ARE SEVERAL PLAYERS who should either turn in their suits and get off the team or settle down and play the game.

Yes. even if there is just one more game left to be played. The boys responded to instructions the first of the season. They played great football, but against M.M.A. they played bang-up football the first three quarters.

The fourth quarter, they began to get careless and since that time they have shown no desire to overcome this carelessness. After the Jefferson City game I remarked, gave Davenport now what are they going to say about It seemed a player or have guilty consciences, as they even wmnt so far as to threaten this writer. Beys, what you to you play football instead of worrying over is going to be about you. I still contend Benson and Davenport are good coaches and are as good as any school has in it the the coaches, that the delivery is lacking. So.

Mud Battle At Kansas But Sooners Win Jayhawks Surprise Oklahoma; Visitors Take Score of 13-0 BY HAROLD CLAASEN LAWRENCE, Nov. pair of punt-hazy Big Six football teams sloshed up and down a muddy field for three and a half quarters today before Oklahoma struck twice to defeat Kansas, 13 to 0. For more than tnree-fourths of the way, kicking the soggy ball was the best attack.

Then in the final period Oklahoma forget that it was even if the soaked 4,000 spectators A shovel pass behind the line of scrimmage from Huel Hamm to Orville Mathews, netted the first touchdown, and the same combination worked the slippery oval to scoring territory a few minutes later with Johnny Martin plunging from the 4. Mathews one, of the Big fastest men, swung around his own left end after catching the pass on the Kansas 41 and hiked for the west sidelines. A tremendous block by Marvin Whited opened up a passage way and the youngster splashed to the score. Kansas, beaten 53 to 2 by Ne- braska only three weeks ago, sur! prised by holding the rugged Sooners at bay until the final I period. At the end of the first quarter Kansas took the ball on downs on own 1-fcot line and again in the third, a fumble on the 3 helped them out.

Every time the Jayhawks got in too deep, the kicking of Don Pollom helped them out. It until he was benched with an injury at the start of the final session that Oklahoma could score. However, it was the same way each time that Kansas dug into Oklahoma sod with Jack Jacobs, also injured and removed in the late stages, crashed booming punts down the field. Officials were forced to dry I the ball after most every play and i Don Pierce, bespectacled Kansas center, spent half his time cleaning his glasses and the other hali dumping Sooner ball carriers.

Minnesota, racing on toward the WesUvn conference title and a shot at national honors, won the battle, 7 to 6, before 63,894 rain- soaked spectators.

And to win, the Gophers had to come from behind just that on brilliant 80-yard touchdown sprint in the second period after Michigan had taken a six-point lead on a touchdown pass by Tom Harmon earlier in the quarter. great game-breaking run, a remarkable perXrmance on a turf soaked by a rain which fell throughout the duel, came with breath-taking suddeness late in the second period.

The big placement boot sailed high and true through the crossbars from the 25-yard line with six minutes of play remaining in the final period after the Titans had bobbled numerous scoring opportunities. Only a few seconds before, Detroit had driven deep into Texas Christian and Pavelec, with fourth down and eight yards to go, unsuccessfully attempted to break the deadlock with a place- from the 23-yard.
