The next Saturday found the Indians pitted against another opponent that enjoyed a heavy weight advantage. Playing in Sioux City, Oma- ha ' s warriors were mauled to a 49-13 setback even though they drew first blood when Oglesby ' s pass to Graham clicked. Late in the game, the Indians broke through again on passes: Roth flipped a forward to Don Peterson, who lateraled to Bowlin for the marker. A Panther powerhouse, successfully seeking a third straight conference championship for Iowa State Teachers ' College, swept over the Indians 48-0 in the season ' s wind-up at Benson stadium November 14. Hazen intercepted a Panther pass in the third quarter to set up the Indians ' only threat. Oglesby ' s toss to Pangle was good, and Pangle dodged and squirmed through most of the Iowa team before he was downed on the Pan- thers ' fifteen. Two Indians received honorable mention in the all-conference selections: Len Graham as a blocking and defensive end, and Bob Hazen as a linebacker.

Bill Pangle, a light but hard-driving ball carrier; and Clarence Smith, who surprised fans with his stellar defensive work at end, to which position he shifted after an easy season in 1941 when he served as an understudy to the iron man half- back. Bob Matthews. There will be virtually no carry-over for next fall, as many of the boys are al ready in the armed forces and others will follow them. A driving rain and a machine-gun passing at- tack confronted the Indians when they met the South Dakota State Jackrabbits at Brookings Oc- tober 3. The Omaha defense stiffened and held the Sodaks scoreless in the second half but the heavier Jackrabbits had already racked up the twenty points that was their margin of victory. Freshman Bill McCawley sent the Indians ' stock rocketing upward with his flashy running in the Simpson game. He looked like two million Olmstead, Graham, Oglesby Boulden, W. Petersen, Roth dollars in scoring a pair of touchdowns, but this sizzler was not permitted to compete in confer- ence games because of a professional basketball contract he once signed. Ernie Weekes lugged the ball on Omaha ' s third touchdown play in this game, the Indians winding up with a 19-0 win. The adoption of Augustana college into the conference last year proved to be a bad stroke of business for Omaha, as the Vikings downed the Indians 32-0 in Omaha on October 16. Augus- tana went on undefeated in conference play and tied for the championship. A giant Bradley Tech outfit overran the In- dians 46-6 in Peoria October 24. The Braves had everything their way during the first half, but Omaha came back fighting in the last half, hold- ing Bradley scoreless while pushing over six points themselves. 14
