COURSE IS FIF1Y-SIX
Four Months Training Given
By College Attracts
Nebraska Boys.
By Tuesday evening, enrollment
in the farm operators' course had
reached fifty-six, according to H.
K. Douthit, director of short
courses at the college of agricul
ture. This four month course in
practical farm management was
designed to meet the need of farm
boys finding it impossible to at
tend the regular school sessions of
the university.
The enrollment this year in
cludes boys from all parts of Ne
braska, all of whom are farm boys
and most all are graduates from
high schools. Eighteen winners of
the Union Pacific railroad scholar
ships -have come to take advan
tage of these short courses. Mr.
Douhit stated that- in spite of the
fact that the- enrollment has in
creased over what it was the first
day, it still shows a slight decrease
from previous years.

Battle-Scarred Bell, Relic of Many Football and
Fraternity Struggles, Is Again at Stake Thursday
Possession of the Missouri-Nebraska
bell, battle scarred relic of
football and fraternity struggles,
will again be at a take when Ne
braska meets Missouri in the final
game of the Big Six conference
season in Memorial stadium Thurs
day afternoon.
Since 1928 when the bell tradi
tion was instituted in connection
with the annual Tiger-Husker
game, the battered tocsin has been
in possession of Nebraska. Ne
braska took the bell that year
after a 24 to 0 victory at Lincoln,
holding it the next two years when
the schools played tie games, 7 to
7, at Columbia in 1929 and 0 to 0
here in 1930. Last year the ball
was carried to Columbia and back
borne again when Nebraska won
10 to 7.
Thursday afternoon the bell will
be brought from its exhibition
place in the N. club rooms to the
stadium, carried by four Corn
Cobs marching ahead of the band.
After carrying it once around the
track, they will bring it to the mid

Until 1927 the bell was joint

the lore surrounding its early his
tory, the story generally accepted
is that the bell was secured in a
mysterious manner from a colored
church in Seward some thirty
years ago by members' of the two
two fraternities who at that time
lived in the same rooming house.
The token was kept in the room
ing house until the two fraternities
separated and took up separate
residences. Its history from that

first one group and then the other
succeeding in "hijacking" the bell.
This rivalry reached a climax in
1927 when the struggle for its pos
session resulted in an open fight in
a downtown hoteL A peace confer
ence waj called and the proposal
that the bell be turned over to the
Innocents society as a perpetual
e m blem of Missouri-Nebraska
gridiron rivalry was accepted.
The Greek insignia of the two
groups on opposite sides of the
bell were replaced by the letter
"N" and "M" and the bell mounted
on a walnut stand. The following
year the custom of giving it to the
winning school following the an
nual game each year was begun.
To date there are five score
plates embedded in the stand at
the base of the bell including the
record of the Missouri 7 to 6 vic

192R.
What story of the bell's fate the
next plate will bear awaits the

LUCKY BREAK GIVES
CORMIUSKER STAFF
EDJ:E OS ESEM1ES
Daily Sebrashan Lose 6 0
In Grid Classic Play ed
Tuesday.
Editor' Not: TIjii is the lal i.i.s-d
of thre very jir judiced unsolicited injuj -cript
which found their way in the ed
itor det.k after Tuesday' grid classic.
A lucky break in the closing
minutes of the Daily Nebraskan
Cornhusker grid classic Tuesday,
enabled the yearbook staff to eke
out a meager 6-0 victory. Alan
Johnson, Cornhusker end happened
to be standing near the goal line,
when a member of his team threw
a long pass. As Johnson had his
mouth open, it was impossible for
him to miss.
Altho there were three officials
upon the field, two seemingly un
influenced, the Cornhusker stalf
was undoubtedly favored. Spencer,
editor of the yearbook, and of
ficial, refused to call penalties on
his team. Cunningham. Awgwan
editor, also an official, knew
nothing about football and liead
Linesman Sorenson, it was rum
ored, was "bought off by Corn
husker alumni.
Outstanding in the Cornhusker
line was Kosman, who by sneaking
into the Daily Nebraskan backfield
before the ball was snapped, broke
up many of the newspaper's plays.
The game, altho quite fast mov
ing, was called to a half fre
quently to count the players.
Usually three or four Daily Ne
braskan players were turned off
the field after each count.
Strategy was evident thruout
the whole game as the Daily Ne
braskan. with its team of ten captain-quarterbacks
and one center,
thought up shifty, crafty plays.
They all went for naught, how
ever, as the referees listened in on
the huddle and told their proteges
where the play was going. The
Cornhusker team relied mainly on
brute strength, and lucky breaks
in the closing minutes brought
them their score.
Charles "Silent Steadman was
outstanding on the Daily Ne
braska. -".&. A reporter cover
ing the game for the Fire and
Sword in making up an all Ftar
lineup, named Steadman to every
position.
Another outstanding grid hero
was Finkle, who by lying on tbs
ground out of reach of the har J
charging, fighting Nebraskan el
even, managed to come out of tha
game without a single cratch.
