BACKFIELD TODAY
Indiana Mentor Will Pit
Veteran Line, Backs
Against Scarlet.
By Laverne Lakin,
Ord.
"Iron Indiana" takes on a little
more meaning to Nebraskans to
ciay as for the second consecutive
Saturday the University of Ne
braska is pitted against the task
of stopping an undefeated team.
Karly estimates point towards a
capieity crowd at the "dad's day"
Indiana game.
Nebraska fans were optimistic
today as they sized up the contest
between the Huskers and the
Hoosiers pro and con. Ordinarily
the Cornhuskers would be given
a large margin of odds to take a
Tctory over the Hoosiers. How
ever, there are several factors
which tend to make the clash a
"flip of the coin'' affair.
Perhaps Francis Out.
One of the big pills that the
Huskers will have to swallow is
the fact that perhaps San Francis,
Nebraska's ace fullback, will not
be in today's lineup.
Indiana has a squad literally
snturated with veterans and has
4wen surnamed by the Big Ten
members as the "surprise team."
Their victories over Centre col
lege and the Michigan Wolverines
is all the proof needed to give them
this rating.
The Scarlet played a dull score
less tie game at Kansas State fol
lowing the 1935 Minnesota tilt.
Nebraska's coaching staff has been
laced with the problem during the
past week of building up the
morale of the Huskers.
Huskers Can "Take It."
Against the unfavorable factors
there are several good points to
be noticed. The Husker morale has
been on the upgrade during the
R.-ist few practices and the Scarlet
are reported to be in a much bet
ter frame of mind than the week
following last year's contest with
the Gophers. The Huskers will un
doubtedly be on equal terms with
the Hoosiers. Coach Bible has ex
perienced replacements for Francis
it fullback.
If Francis does not appear for
the kickoff, Ron Douglas is slated
lo take over the fullback post. Ron
Douglas, who hails from Crete,
has been porforming at left half
back in the first two games this
fall. Harris Andrews, Beatrice
roan, will take over Douglas' po
sition. Andrews, ace of aces of flip
ping the pigskin, has developed
not into a power an aerial work
but as a top-notch ball carrier.
Callihan May Play.
In case the Douglas-Andrewi
setup fails to -function, it is likely
that Bible will call on "Wold Bill"
Callihan, the "galloping horse"
from Grand Island. This will mark
the first appearance of Bill Cal
lihan on the Cornhusker lineup.
The line remains the same with
McDonald and Dohrmann, ends;
Shirey and Doyle, tackles; Meh
nng and McGinnis, guards; and
Brock, center.
Indiana will send forth against
the Husker unit an all-vettran
eWven featuring a powerful line
built around two tackles, Captain
'hns ral Sesso and Ted Livings
ton. Vernon Huffman, Indiana
triple-threat man, will be in the
Ktar role.
"liit" McMillin. coach of the
Hoosier squad, is a well known"
football mentor to Nebraska en
thusiasts. McMillin's Kansas State
teams plaved Nebraska from 1928
to 1933. The 1930 game was the
fust Kansas State victory over
Nebraska and "Bo's" gang is back
this year for another first victory
in the Indiana series.
When the some 30,000 pairs c
eyes are trained on the little tan
pig-skin at 2 o'clock this after
noon at Memorial stadium, they
will be watching a game that has
been afforded equally as much
comment on the nation's sport
pages as has this future election
on November 3, under columns
headed "Editorials."
Two tackles and a quarter-back
named Verne Huffman seem to
take Indiana's team honors and
as there will be another "bakers
dozen" of lettermen on hand, they
may make it a hard field for the
Nebraska Cornhuskers to clean.
Indiana has risen to the head
lines thru the outcome of last
week's upset of Michigan. Bo
McMillin's 35 boys pulled the
string that had been jerked only
once before in 35 years and
spilled the dope from buckets
of comentators, predictors, and
forecasters from Portland to
New York, and Duluth to Miami,
and they are still on the short
end of predicted outcomes of to
day's tussle. They are aiming for
another upset.
McMillin was right when he
quoted to the press in Blooming
ton the other day that they will
be doing good if Nebraska doesn't
score. This semi-pessimistic view
point may well be taken by Ne
braska fans too, as the Indiana
aggregation has a reputation of
pulling "fast ones" that come J
thru. 1

Vernon Huffman's gains will be
matched by those of Lloyd card
well, leader in the Big Six seor
ing columns. A center called Mil
lcr will find Charlie Brock just
as good as he is hailed by the
press. The entire mid-west know
Cardwell's ability and Brock was
recognized as the best center to
play on the Minnesota gridiron
for three years and a good many
good centers have played in Minn
eapolis these last three seasons.
Then there will be Les McDonald
and Elmer Dohrmann, two flank
men who will show the visitors
how ends play end. And Shirey
and Doyle who proved they were
able to stop anyone within reach
during last Saturday s game. Meh
ring and McGinnis are two pro
ducts that are not afraid to fill
their nostrils with dust and their
cleats with sod in a endeavor
to bolster up the center of the
line. Game captain Douglas, How
ell, Andrews and possibly Francis
shant be the ones to let Indiana
board the Burlington to go home
with another victory like their
last under their belts.
We will let that all be as it
may. Nebraska has a rooted
reputation of the "do or die
spirit and everyone looks for
them to come out on top. But
if we are wrong as the public
and the ones who announce the
final score before the whistle
starts the kick-off often are, I
dare say that many Saturday
pay checks will change hands.
AUTHORESS SPEAKS
BEFORE CONVENTION
Bess Gcarliart Morrison
Portrays Luxurious
Modern Life.
By
Esther Otto.
Ord.
Bess Gearheart Morrison, mid
western poetess and authoress,
speaking before delegates to the
Nebraska State High School Press
Convention in Morrill Hall, Fri
day afternoon, stated that she was
as "an old grandmother standing
on the sidelines wishing and
hoping for the best." She as
serted that things considered
necessities today were thought
of as luxuries years ago.
Also remarked the speaker,
lived hard, worked hard, and am
as up to date as a red flannel
petticoat."
She stated that she has lived in
Lincoln for thirty-five years, and
now, as she is standing on the
threshold of sixty years, she can
look hopefully forward instead of
backward.

ample of the departmental phase
of newspapers is the stock market
and quotations page.
"In former days, the people did
not care about the changing prices
of stocks; now the average person
is concerned and so the paper of
today has a three or four page
stock quotation section. These
pages are very expensive and often
cost $50,000 or $60,000 a year to
run."
"The future development of the
newspaper will depend on the de
velopment of radio. The radio has
a great advantage in the speed of
getting out news,
"Pictures have featured highly
in developing the newspaper of
today. Tbey now have sound
photos or wirephotos.
"The newspaper is the protector
of the people against corrupt gov
ernment, officials, and big busi
ness," stated Hunter in closing.

BROWN DERBY IN
SWING FOR FKOS1I
LAW WISE CRACKS
Freshmen in the college of law
will be careful about the cracks
they make from now on, for the
brown derby is on the way.
According to tradition the orig
inator of the dumbest crack will
be presented with a brown derby,
perhaps a mis-fit but nevertheless
a derby. The unfortunate fresh
man must wear the offensive top
piece for a full week. The only
time he is allowed to remove the
hat is in class. At all other times
and places the derby must be
worn.
Each Saturday the entire class
assembles and decides which
member that is to wear the hat,
Whether or not it is a tradition
for each wearer to sign his name
is a matter of speculation, but as
the hat passes from one man to
another the names accumulate.
There is a ceremony to dispose
of the derby when the class ad
vances, but just what the cere
mony is no one seems to know.
At any rate the hat mysteriously
disappeared last year before the
ritual could be performed.
Next month Los Angeles will be
gin to use the 60-cycle current
generated at Boulder Dam. Since
the city has been using 50-cycle
current in the past, electric clocks,
if not adjusted, will gain twelve
minutes every hour on the new
current. Time gallops on.
Anthropological measurement
University of Kansas freshmen
compared with those of a selected
list of other schools recently re
vealed that these men were taller,
about the same in weight, and less
in girth of chest.
Women drivers react more slow
ly than men in time of braking
emergency, according to findings
of a series of scientific tests given
at Pennsylvania State College.

Lipp's Predictions
Little Off.
By Walt Foster.
Jackson High.
In Friday's issue of the Daily
Ncbraskan, our friend Mr. Morris
Lipp presented his game predic
tions for all of this Saturday's
major games. Now I don't know
Mr. Lipp personally, but from
what I have heard he is a fine
fellow and I think he was very
earnest in his game predictions.
But it makes no difference to me
how earnest Mr. Lipp was, I still
believe that several of his predic
tions were slightly "off."
It is all very true that last Sat
urday Mr. Lipp picked IS win
ners out of 24 of America's big
gest matches, two games were
ties; so all in all he only missed
four. This is a very fine per
centage but I believe that his pre
dictions for this week will not do
so well for him, but I may be
wrong.
Just to show all the dear read
ers just where I think our friend
Lipp was wrong, I will put down
my predictions of the same games.
and we will have to wait and see
how the various games come out.
California-U. C. L. A.: Cali
fornia. Syracuse-Cornell: Cornell
looks good this year and will
probably pull through.
Fordham-Waynesburg: Ford
ham with ease.
Rice-Georgia: Toss up.
Army-Harvard: West Point
er's will deepen the hue of the
crimson shirted clan.
Holy Cross-Manhattan: Cru
saders look good.
Iowa-Illinois: Oze Simmons
will lead his mates to victory.
Iowa State-Cornell College:
Iowa State with ease.
M ichigan State-Missouri:
Michigan State will steamroll
through Missouri.
Nebraska-Indiana: If the
great Husker backs are going
in top form, Nebraska will have
it in the bag.
Texas A. & M. -Texas Chris
tian: I'll stick with Texas A.
& M.
Pittsburgh-Duquesne; Jock
Sutherland's tribe will have a
field day.
Tennessee-Alabama: No dice.
Colgate-Tulane: Tulane on a
break.
Dartmouth-Brown: Dart
mouth with ease.
Marquette-Kansas State:
Even money.
Duke-Georgia Tech: Georgia
Tech's Ramblin' Wrecks will
take Duke.
Oklahoma-Kansas: Kansas
hasn't got the stuff to win, so
I'll take Oklahoma.
Southern Methodist-Vander-bilt:
Mustangs will win with an
aerial game.
Ohio State-Northwestern:
Ohio State had better win or I
lose my money.
Notre Dame-Wisconsin: Notre
Dame in this one.
Minnesota-Michigan: Minne
sota will tie the old Notre Dame
record of 20 wins in a row.
Princeton-Pennsyvania: Penn
sylvania has the team to stop
Princeton.
Yale-Navy: Navy will win
this game.

PEP SOWS AT CAME
Cornhusker Fans to Hear
Different Selections
This Saturday.
As the University R. O. T. C.
band plays two new pep songs in
the Memorial stadium Saturday,
Nebraska fans will be hearing the
first of the results of the Inno
cent's effort to locate a new school
song.
One of those selections is the
"Cornhusker Fight Song," written
by C. S. Lincoln and arranged for
the band by H. R. Kibble. The.
other is "Nebraska Victory," by
Mrs. R. Hornberger of Omaha.
Several other songs have been
submitted but as they are still be
ing arranged for the band, they
will not be introduced to the stu
