Heading the list of the graduat

. Howell and fallback on the Corn
husker eleven. Kor three years
Dlue has played with Nebraska and
this year was bis greatest on the
pirdlron. At fullback he had no
I rival In the conference and al
; though he was not placed on the
All-Western eleven, he was men
; ; tloned by all sport critics as onn
: of Jhe foremost fullbacks of the
' i J'ar. , :,
LrsW season Blue" was' heralded
' as one of the greatest Interference
' , runners In the country. He was
the blocker and interference run-
ner for Glen FJresnell and this sea
son found Blue booked for a full
back position and line crasher. He
' ; piled up one of the largest scores
' In the conference and was only out
1 done by bis running mate, Clair
Sloan. He was feared by every
k k eleven .that met the Huskers this
"season. He was the worry of all
' , the coaches.
' Howell Much Feared
"Get Howell and we will get Ne
; braska," was the slogan of the op-
posing football elevens. -in nearly
every game, Howell was watched
ty unerring eyes of the opposing
line and his drives through the for
ward wall were responsible lor a
. great deal of the victories marked
up by Nebraska this year.
Blue started the scoring of the
season t Ames when he crashed
; over the goal line twice during th
f saimvo open the Nebraska scoring
I'dltnmi. From then on, the Husker
backfield ace drove and pounded
the enemy lines for huge gains. He
was unanimously selected for the
fullback position on the All-Big Six
eleven and was given mention on
manyi All-Western elevens. He Is
V 'ne only backfield man to be lost

( la the line Nebraska will be hit
. ihcjiardest by graduating palyers.
: DhiP McMullen, guard and All
' American on the Cornhusker elev
en will leave a place in the forward
wait that will be difficult to fill.
MeMullen was proclaimed one of
thP greatest guards ever turned
oiiat the Cornhusker school. Con
siitent playing for the past two
yers was one of the features of
MCMullen.
He was out but once I
nlk season and took time out for I

brought comment from critics all
over the country and when the All

burn was the only end that played
regularly all beusou on the Scarlet
line. The other side of the line
was open ull season and numerous
players got the call to fill that po
sition. Ashburn Is one of the best
defensive ends in the Big Six con
ference and was named on the All
Big Six selection. He comes to Ne
braska from TiMen and his last
game wearing the Scarlet and !
Cream wa against the Kansas Ag-j
gies on Thanksgiving day, where !
he scored the only Nebraska touch- 1
down. - . ,
' Merle Zuver. guard and reserve
center, Is the seventh man to leave
the Husker ranks this season.
Zuver was one of the best utility
men in the Cornhusker camp and,
as Coach "Bunny" Oakes stated,
"the only reason Zuver has not held
down a regular berth on the eleven
is because he is plenty good at any
position in the line." This was
characteristic of Zuver's playing all
season. He was fast, powerful, and
took out the opposing linesmen in
veteran manner.
Drath Closes Career.
Walter Drath, reserve guard, is
the last graduating player to leave
the Husker team this year. Dra'h
made his letter this year but was
up against the powerful competi
tion given by McMullen and Holm.
Irath comes to Nebraska from
Herndon, Kas., and weighs in at
193 pounds.
With these eight men leaving the
Husker team this year, a big task
will be In store for the new coach
at Nebraska next season. A hole
in the line left by McMullen, James
and Holm will be a job for any line
coach. Broadstone will be avail-

Ramsay Gives
Fans All the
Dope on Game
"The voice behind the micro
phone" at Cornhusker football con
tests seems automatically to brand
Ray Ramsay, stadium football an
nouncer, who definitely and some
times Jokingly informs the thou
sands of fans in the stadium about
the game they are watching.

football field, telling of each run.
eac" charge and of each substitu-
tion. Nebraska football enthusi
ast wer" obliged to guess who
carried the ball, who had been in
jured, or who was substituting.
The idea used by eastern insti
tutions of broadcasting the explan
ations of each play to the uni
formed fans in the stadium had
met with scant success, but the
University of Nebraska authorities
decided that the system could be
used to good advantage. Hence
Ray Ramsay, instructor iu the de
partment of dramatics has a
steady Saturday afternoon job dur
ing football season.
High up in the west stand, In the
north end of the press box. sits
J Ray Ramsay during the football
games, before a microphone. In
hiu little improvised room of
compo-board he receives first hand
information of every play, every
penally anu every substitution
Irom his correspondent on ihe side
lines. Ray claims that he informs the
fans in the stadium for a purpose,
that of explaining all indiscernable
action by the team or referee, and '
that of relieving the jnale football 1
fan from the rapid-fire questions of i
his feminine companion. If such be i
the case. With this system of eluci- i
dation, Nebraska football eulhiisi- j
asts may enjoy the game much'
mole, mixed with the extempora-1
ineous wit that Ramsay Invariably i

g the cold days Kay was
forced to rely on an electric heater1
to keep him from freezing, so he !
says. The voice which floats over
the gridiron from the loud-speaking
units Is a most sympathetic one
with Nebraska athletics and tradi
tion. When Ray believes that he
has earned a rest, as when the half
ends, be makes use of the electric
pick-up unit which re-broadcasts
music over the wire.
If when you attend a football
game In Comhuslrerland. and for
instance hear someone Jokingly ex
plain, while the squad works out
on the field, that all the students
are not suited up because the
coach ran out of uniforms, you'll
know it's Ray Ramsay.

it was plenty hard to beat. Here's to
yuh!
Ci "'',:"
WE'RE THERE
with the smartest, snappiest slug of
happy thoughts for those hard-to--figure
Christmas gifts. Haven't you
often wondered "What in the good
ness gracious can I give him?" Never
mind just who the him may be, what
you need, we've got plenty of, even if.
it's only suggestions.
'FRINSTANCE
Why not a tie, shirt, gloves, scarf,
hanky, sox, lighter, undies, pajamas .by
B & F? Nothin could be sweeter!
Ask the man who owns one, some or
all of those little items. Know what
he'll say here 'tis: "You can't miss at
B & F." Don't fumble, walk right in
the big front door and sail for the what-have-yous,
the what-nots, the dooflop
pies and the dingbats.
For That Formal

Slide into a B & F tux, shirt, collar, tie,

enemy will admit that you are a plenty
smooth gent. Friends, gentlemen and
Boy Scouts, you are really put together
in an outfit like that and no rough edges
showing. ' -
When You Leave
Give the hometown folks a break, in
