It mattered little that the mid- western university team made but 7 first downs to Oregon state's jo Too many of their first dowr.s were touchdowns to give statistics a chance. ' It was the fifth consecutive time the Oregon Btaters have attempted to down the cornhuskers ana lauea. The Beavers gave disappointed fans a hair-raising finish, however. With the score 33 to 0 against them in tne final quarter, they slam-banged their way to two touchdowns. Hunkers Nrore Early Seven plays after the opening kick-off the Cornhuskers had scored the first of threo touchdowns in tne opening period. Two moro scores wore rammed across the third quar ter. Fullback Francis, Nebraska's can didate for all-American honors, scor ed the first touchdown, aided by his backfleld teammates, Cardwcll and Douglas. The Huskers marched from the Oregon Btate 40 to the 7, Fran cis was over three plays later. Again In tho first nerlod, the Neb raskans rambled to the. Beavers' 80. Francis went to the 39 on a fake reverse and then tossed a pass to right end McDonald who caught the ball on the 8 and atepped over for the score. Joe Gray, Oregon State's red headed halfback, fumbled to present Nebraska with Its third scoring chance of the opening period. Right end Yelkln recovered and quarterback Howell packed the ball through the scattered Boaver line to the 11. A moment later Francis threw a touch down pass to halfback Douglas. The fullback made good on the try for point for the first time in the game. Rcorc Twice In Third The situation looked hopeless for the Beavers when Nebraska scored two more touchdowns In the third. A long pass, Howell to McDonald, sent the Cornhuskers to the Beavei IB, and substitute quarterback Phelps passed to McDonald for an other six points. Francis convortrd. Nebraaks's final score was the most spectaculsr play of the game. Halfback CardweU on the first play after receiving a punt ran 68 yards through a broken field to the goal. With the score 33 to 0 ngnlns: them, the Beavers opened their now famous passing attack. The combin ation was Joe Gray to Bob Moun tain. Gray threw to Mountain on a play which took the ball to the Neb raska one. Big Elmer Kolberg plunged over and Hutchlns converted. With less than five minutes to play, the Besvers continued to rifle passes and smashed and ran to the Cornhuskers' 37. Cray dropped back and threw a bullet-like pass to Mountain who received It over the goal line. Hutchlns converted from placement for the 14th point.

BASKETBALL CALL Bowerman Will Watch Work outs First Week To Pick Talent Team To Be Hewed Of New Material First call for basketball will be Issued Monday by Coach Bowerman, with workouts scheduled for the first week without any play aas.gnmenis, so that he can pick the material for the squad, be said last night. Practically all of last year's first team graduated or graduate at mid' term, so the 1036-37 team will be made up of practically new men. De aplte that handicap Bowerman said be believed It likely that his team would be a better outfit than lost year's, principally because the men will be taller. Lewis, Baker, Dickinson, VanDyke. Llndley and Valler were, lost through graduation, because Bowerman has ruled against mid-term seniors play ing this year. Several men will be eligible until mid-term,1 but their graduation would wreck tne snuao for later games and Bowerman docs not want that prospect to faoo. Those who will be back from last year's squsd will bo Hayes, lanky center, Grow, Wilson, McKce, cnna ers, Werner and Barkor. Tliero are several good men coming up from the Junior high .group of casabs hurlera, and several promising as pirants from gym classes who have not played regular basketball at all, Bowerman said.
