The Big Six conference race hopped into a four-way deadlock Saturday as the Huskers bumped off the Cyclones 33 to 0 while Kansas was walloping Kansas Slate 34 to 0 and Oklahoma was murdering Missouri 27 to 6. Nebraska travels to Oklahoma Saturday for a skirmish with the highly-regarded Sooners, while on Thanksgiving day Kansas will face the Missouri Tigers. EACH OF THE four leaders has lost one game. Nebraska was nudged by Missouri; Oklahoma fell before Kansas: the Jayhawks bowed to the Huskers and Missouri was dumped by the Sooners. The standings read: lowa state State 1 opp I 0too 35 1 3 1 0 1 0 8v 37 1 60 I 4 0 34 160 0 5 0 14 132 Oklahoma and Kansas loom AS favorites to tie for the crown altho if Nebraska plays as well against the Sooners as they did against the State Cyclones the Norman tilt may develop into quite a ball game.

Cletus Fischer, the ball toter from St. Edward, should be in shape for the Oklahoma tussle and Coach Masterson hopes the rest of his cripples will be available. ONE OF THE features of the Husker victory Saturday was the improved blocking. The Scarlet line was vicious at times with Game Captain Gene Wilkins playing a whale of a game at guard.

It was the first varsity game for Ends Ralph Damkroger and Jim McWilliams and Tackle Oscar Mussman. Masterson used 30 men against the Cyclones. He was able to rest some of his key men while the subs took over. And Little Pat Rooney did quite a bit of ball carrying in the final period. Among the spectators were nine governors, the group Including Gov.

Andrew Schoeppel of Kansas; Gov. Vivian, Colorado; Gov, Anadahl, North Dakota; Gov. Donnelly, Missouri; Gov. Blue, Iowa; Gov. Hunt, Wyoming; Gov.

Baseball observers, reviewing results of Western league revival meeting here, appeared agreed Saturday night that the league means business in its announced plans to operate next season on a six-team basis.

The belief was based in part on the action in prescribing that each of the cities Omaha, Sioux City, Des Moines, Denver and Pueblo $5,000 at the next league meeting in Lincoln Dec. 17, the money to be forfeited if a team fails to finish the season. Each franchise holder already has posted $150 for membership fees in the National Association of Professional Baseball leagues. Selecton of a secretary also will be a job at hand at the Lincoln meeting. DES MOINES and Lincoln were regarded as the shakiest members because of facilities.

A. Q. Schimmel, Lincoln franchise holder, said he expected little trouble raising $5,000 but the ball park situation still bothers. The state fair grounds are available but the fair board is committed to four weeks of horse racing in August, an interference with baseball scheduling. in a four way tie for the conference championship with Oklahoma, Missouri and Nebraska, each with three victories and one defeat.
