Nebraska Cashes In
The game was one of breaks.
They were about even, but Nebras-
ka proved the better opportunists.
Nebraska fumbled on its own 29
early in the first quarter, but
Michigan failed to capitalize as
Bill Dodd's attempted field goal
went wide.
Nebraska's second score was set
up when Michigan was caught off-
side on a Cornhusker punt. That
gave Nebraska a first down on the
Michigan 45 and Thornton notch-
ed his first touchdown a few min-
utes later to give the visitors a 13-
6 third quarter lead.
Moments later Raimey fumbled
on his own 28 to hand Nebraska
its third score. Fullback Warren
Powers picked up 19 of those yards
in one burst up the middle.
Misunderstanding
Michigan had been pushed back
into its own end when Nebraska
recovered a lateral on the Wol-
verine 39. The Michigan team, El-
liott and the backfield judge
thought it was a forward pass, but
referee Mike Delaney overruled
and called it a lateral.
Nebraska didn't go anywhere,
but a punt put Michigan in posi-
tion for Raimey's fumble.
Michigan then made it close,
with the help of that 15-yd. pen-
alty, but couldn't hold Nebraska
when it counted. L
The loss ended Michigan's re-
cent dominance of non-conference
opponents. The last previous loss
was to Missouri, 20-15, in the
opening game of the 1959 season.
The game also marked the elev-
enth consecutive game in which
Michigan has lost the coin toss.
The last time Michigan won the
call was in 1960 against Indiana.
And that was the only win that
year.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - The St.
Louis Cardinals, getting superb
2-hit pitching from Ernie Broglio,
defeated Los Angeles 2-0 tonight
and kept the reeling Dodgers from
clinching the National League pen-
nant.
This was the 9th loss for the
Dodgers in their last 12 games,
but they will still go into the final
game of the season tomorrow lead-
ing the second-place tSan Fran-
cisco Giant by a full game. If the
Giants lose, or if the Dodgers
win, or if both lose, Los Angeles
will have its second National
League pennant in four years. If
the two clubs are tied after Sun-
day's games, a best-of-three play-
off series wil start in San Fran-
cisco Monday.

HELD AT BAY-In a play typical of yesterday's grid action,
Michigan halfback Dave Raimey (19) is shown being subdued by
a host of the Nebraska defensive unit. Participating in the tackle
are Larry Tomlinson (83) and Jim Baffico (56). .
Opening Game Statistics
'The Didn't Hit'
HE WEATHER was perfect, the ROTC units put up the flag on
time, the bands played in unison-all 185 of them.
Nebraska played football. Michigan did not.
In fact, just what Michigan did play is, open to serious question.
The Wolverines were amazingly inept. The offense sputtered. The
ends got boxed and the backfield got foxed. But what hurts more was
what one Nebraska back said after the game.
"They didn't hit as hard as I expected them to."
Inexperienced teams-like Michigan is--can and will make
mechanical mistakes. They're not supposed to make physical ones.
"We expected to make mistakes in the early season," said
Michigan Coach Bump Elliott. "And we did."
Michigan made too many. Nevertheless, the Cornhuskers looked
good. Their power stuff on the outside murdered Michigan's ends.
Their passing clicked when it was needed. Bill "Thunder" Thornton,
the All-American candidate at fullback, looked surprisingly healthy.
"It felt good," said the Nebraska bomb. "The docs said I couldn't
hurt the shoulder any more and I guess you got to believe those
medical people once in a while.
"I hope I'm set for the season," he added.
"We figured he'd play," said Elliott. "In fact, Nebraska didn't do
anything that we didn't expect. They're a fine team. They've got
good size and speed. They're a solid ball club.
"We were disappointed in our ball club, though," Elliott con-
tinued. "We did a lot of things that hurt us real bad. When we missed
going in a couple of times early in the game ..."
WHEN MICHIGAN missed was the story of the game. Michigan
tacklers bounced off Nebraska backs like they were hitting rubber
bumpers. Passes bounced off board hands. If all of that wouldn't have
happened
If Dave Raimey have gained 10 yds. on every play instead of on
every fourth play. If Dave Glinka hadn't underthrown Bob Brown
on the opening play of the second half. If Nebraska hadn't scored 25
points. Inexperience or incapability is the question.
Nebraska Coach Bob Devaney sides with Elliott on this one.
"Michigan has got potential," he said. "They made some mis-
takes, but when you've got a young team like Elliott has you have
to expect some mistakes. I'm glad we don't have to play them
every week."
Amidst the well wishers outside the Nebraska dressing room
were scores of Michigan friends-some made while Devaney was
coaching in high school circles and others while at Michigan State.
Not much from Wyoming showed up except the Cornhusker of-
fense. That gave Michigan fits-especially the power sweeps with any
of a half dozen ball carriers running almost at will around the weak
Wolverine flanks.
It was sort of a sad day all over for Michigan, for not only did
the Wolverines look bad in losing, but the Army and Michigan
State scouts saw it all.
It makes you wonder. Where does Michigan turn from here?

SPACE BALL
WRITE? YOU'RE WRONG
In the recent furor over the assassination of President McKinley,
it may have escaped your notice that a nationwide study of the
writing ability of American college students has just been
published.
The survey reveals an astonishing fact: that when students
have completed their freshman year and are no longer required
to take English, their writing skill progressively declines until
we come to the fantastic situation where graduating seniors
actualy are poorer writers of English than incoming freshmen!
Many theories have been offered to account for this incredible
fact. Some say that seniors know less English than freshmen
because all seniors major in French. This is not true. No more
than 94 percent of seniors major in French. How about the
other six percent?
Well sir, of the other six percent, half-or three percent-
take physics, and it is not hard to understand how these poor
souls grow rusty in English when all they ever say is "E equals
MC squared."
Of the remaining three percent, two-thirds-or two percent-
major in whaling, and their English too grows feeble with
disuse. Whalers, as we all know, do not speak at all except to
shout, "Thar she blows!" maybe twice a year.
Of the one percent remaining, it cannot be fairly said that
they are poor writers. The fact is, we don't know what kind of
writers they are. Why not? Because they never write. And why
don't they ever write? Because this remaining one percent of
American college students are enrolled at the University of
Alaska, and never take their mittens off.
(Incidentally, I received quite a surprise upon first visiting
Alaska two years ago when I was invited to Juneau to crown
the Queen of the Annual Date Palm Festival. Frankly I ex-
pected to find a surly and morose populace. After all, going
through life with your mittens on all the time is hardly calcu-
lated to make you merry as a cricket. Not only can't you write,
but you miss out on all kinds of other fun things-like three
card monte, making shadow pictures on the wall, and lint pick-
ing. However, to my astonishment, I discovered Alaskans to
be a hale and gregarious group, mittens notwithstanding, and
I soon found out why: because mittens notwithstanding, they
could still smoke Marlboro Cigarettes, still enjoy that rich
mellow flavor, that fine, clean Selectrate filter, that truly soft
soft pack, that truly flip-top flip-top box-and that, friends,
will make anybody happy, mittens notwithstanding. In fact,
Alaskans are the happiest people I have ever met in the whole
United States-except, of course, for the Alaskan vendors of
Marlboro Cigarettes, who have not been paid in many years-
indeed, never-because how can anybody dig out coins to pay
for cigarettes when he is wearing mittens?)
But I digress. What are we going to do about this deplorable
condition where college students, having completed Freshman
English, become steadily less proficient in the use of the lan-
guage? The answer is simple. We will make them take Fresh-
