ON THIS ISSUE Desk Editor Wagner Night Editor Burney ftig Ten Is V a a Ci. 1., Nebraska oomph-led yesterday a perfect 'l-tig Six conference record. Vndcfenled, nn 1ii'l. find misi'oreil urum, the ('orti'huKkers ii massed 34 points in five yt ins for a new jli fj h scoring record. This is the first year in 4-islory that a Hip Six chiarn jion has gone -through a conference season without its goal line being crossed. Y Yesterday's finale was a striking memor ialone that -w ill last forever in Nebraska jiiinals to the seven seniors -who appeared in (Memorial Sladium for their Inst time. Kansas Slate, on paper, was the team 1o beat Ne braska if Nebraska was to be beaten. Kansas Slate suffered the most humilinlmp defeat ver handed a conference, foe by Nebraska, ji .... I1 The season just completed undoubtedly will ' fold fuel to the growing move to take Ne braska out of Hip Six fotball and install Tier as part of the Bop Ten. That sentiment has jrevailed, in embryo form, for a number of years. At times it pained in volume, when the Hip Ten considered droppinp one of its lneiiibers. Now 1hat situation is repeated. The AVeslern conference is seriously consider ing droppinp t'hicapo. In fact, the iripin.il impetus for this ehanpe came from Chicago university students and Chieapo newspapers. There is but one logical candidale to fill the vacant place, if the prevailing opinion is correctly interpreted, and that is Nebraska. The ( "ornhuskers undoubtedly will be sent an invitation to join hands with Minnesota, Northwestern, and their playmates if Chieapo resigns: membership. V ' The sentiment to take Nebraska out o! the Hip Six arises not only from outside ihe eoiilerence, but from inside as well. The Mis souri valley prid teams are becoming as tired f Nebraska victories, ad infinitum and ad Jiauseum, as Nebraska fans are becoming of .'lock Sutherland and T'illsburth. No member of the Hip Six would protest if Nebraska dropped out they would look for someone iheir size so lhat the championship could be liamlcd about more freely. In ihe face of 1his double-jointed attack, it is difficult to judpe the probable actions of the Nebraska athletic department. The nily Nebraskan would recommend that the 'ornhiiskcrs remain in ihe Hip Six. This year is an exception. I'snally, 1hc Kip Six teams ma nape to make any Saturday after noon an interesting one for the Huskers. Ne braska this year boasts one of its finest teams in history. In Itbe past two years the Corn l.iiski rs have had difficulty with Kansas Strife, Jusin oin-e and tying once. Yesterday's 11111,- ing was in the nature of a revenge victory. Taken year for year, the Hip Six is usually pretty good opposition. . If we enter the Big Ten, we will sooner or Inter find ourselves nimble to cope with the opposition on anywhere near equality- basis unless we resort to a policy of subsidization in the form of athletic scholarships and other pecuniary inducements. The Bip Ten. in some cases secretively, in others openly, resorts to such tactics. To make even the beginning of a decent showing against Ihe caliber of oppo sition lhat conference provides, week after week of hard fotball, Nebraska would be forced to ''buy," or perhaps "induce," if buy is too harsh, prep school athletic stars to enter this institution. That policy is pari of the athletic plan of 1he only 1wo. institutions which this year con quered Nebraska Minnesota and Pittsburgh It is no secret that Minnesota offers athletic scholarships Wisconsin is being forced to the same action because of the exodus of her high school grid stars to ihe land of the miphly (Gophers. Pittsburgh boasts of it. In order to protect 1he altitude of clean, wholesome, amateur sports which we have here at Nebraska built up around our fool ball teams through Dana X. Bible, the 1aily Ne braskan recommends that if a bid from Ihe Western Conference comes Nebraska's way. the athcltie department will see fit to turn its head and keep th Huskers in a conference v here her tyie of football is played. CONTEMPORARY COMMENT On To Liberal Education College professors, in moments of eurios ily or out of sheer boredom wilh certain stu dents, sometimes ask 1he embarrassing ques tion: "Why did you come to college?" The harassed student who never asked himself such a question usually scratches his memory for some of the stock phrased reasons. What ever the reply, 1 h is average undergraduate be lieves that 1he object of higher learning is utility. By ulility he means lhat he "makes conlacts" or "fits himself 1o climb higher lhan the man wilhout a college education." These phrases and ideas have been spoon fed to him since he was able to look into his first primer. Not until he graduates from college does he find ihe true answer. .... 1 r. Paul Maynard Hutchins, brilliant young president of the University of Chicago, poes to the root of Ihe matter of college edu cation in an article in ihe October, lflSti, issue of Harper's Monthly. He declares: . "This is ihe position of 1he higher learn ing in America. The universities are depend ent on the jeople. The people love money and think that education is a way of getting it. They think too that democracy means everj child should be permitted to acquire the edu cational insignia that will be helpful in mak ing money. They do not believe in the culti vation of the intellect for its own sake. And Ihe distressing part of this is lhat 1he state of the nation determines ihe slale of educa tion." lr. Hutchins goes on to say that ihe posi tion of ihe state can be improved only thru education. And yet how can the state be im proved if Ibe university is dependent on the selfsame slate? It is a vicious circle wilh edu cation chasing its own tail. Higher education, lie asserts, must lake a stand in the single minded pursuit of the intellectual virtues and he emphasizes ihe fact that ihe individual stu dent should be superior 1o the mass ort'aniy.a 1 ion. 0 V C Jr. Hutchins has slated ihe truth, we be lieve. An ideal institution of learning is Ihe institution where there is not ihe mad pursuit tor money and notoriety that typifies many American colleges. Hut is 1his wholly possible? We believe it is not. At certain colleges such as Harvard and Chicago, liberal thought is combined wilh a notable singleness of intellec tual purpose. But 1he average college, ham pered bv conservative clemenls and 1hc neces sity of "money grubbing," believes that it has Ihe divine calling of making American young men inln geniuses bv setting ihem thru a rou tine of caisson and I'hysitul sports. Brown Daily Herald. CORNHUSKER BUYS GRID WIN OVER RAG (Continued from rage 1.) minute of play from the return of the opening kickoff to the crack of the final gun, was there a sha dow of doubt in the minds of the raving crowd that swarmed the sidelines of the soviet soil, which team was the superior. The Ne braskan eleven amassed a total of f4.1 yards in the afternoon as com pared to a minus IS for the op posing gang, and rung up two touchdowns which ft Cornhusker selected and paid for referee re turned only to penalize th Rag eleven. The Rag machine clicked as smoothlv as any offensive attack ever to' take to the gridiron soil, while on defense they were as im movable as the fraternity house mortgage. Behind the brilliant leadership of Bob Wadhams, Kd Sleeves, iVrdon Uhri, and Willsrd Burney in the backfield, and the stalwart stuhborness of lVn Wag ner. Stan Michael, Bob Preibus, Kd Murray. Bob Brilfin, George Pipal. and Morris Lipp in the line, the challengers consistently moved down the field toward the enemy's goal only to be halted and penal ized by the aforementioned Corn tu taker stooge. Beyond a doubt if one were to name the most effective player on the yearbook eleven, it could be none" other than diminutive Bill Hollister, who in a brief interview after the game stated that "now my mother in law can have her operation." Alt ho Bill is a recog nized member of the Awgwan staff, a lucrative wage and a tem porary past as vice assistant sports editor, of the Cornhusker which is famous for its two pages of sports material, put him in suit with the annual squad and hence in a starring role on the poorer eleven. It was evident thruout the en tire game that the boys from the south side of U hall were playing a dirty, underhanded style of foot ball, which the Nebraskan staff due to their inherent respect for the ethics of the press were unable to match. They slugged in the line and when these were met with re turn punches an appeal to the ref eree invanahly mover! tne jNeoras kans further from their opponent's goal. Perhaps the two darkest and weakest spots in the darker and weaker of the two elevens, were the enter and tailback positions. occupied by Sid Baker and Bill Marsh respectively. In the eyes of this casual and unbiased observer, their presence in the lineup in the entire game can be accounted for only in two ways, the first in the lack of funds due to the fact that the Cornhusker sales drive is barely under way, which naturally resulted in a lack of substitutes, and secondly. Marsh and Baker managed and coached the team. Never once did the Nebraskan have trouble going thru the cen ter of the line or completing passes in "Marshy" territory. The black sheep in the Nebras kan eleven, who also hinted that he had fallen prey to the fiendish subsidization of the opponents, was Ed Sleeves who after playing a brilliant game for the Rag squad in the first 59 minutes and 3d sec onds reversed his field and played an even more effective game by ac counting for the lone Cornhusker marker with a last second pass to the rival team. Altho it be far be yond the authority of your writer to opnly say that Steeves was payed to "throw" the game, ru mor has it that the pressure has been weighing on his conscience and that he intends to make a written statement as to the exact circumstances surrounding the sit uation, in the case that such a statement is made it will be pub lished at the end of this article. Since it is unanimously agreed that the best team lost and that the poorer but subsidized team rnanuged to eke out a win, there is little use to longer discuss such a game, for as one of the Nebras kan gridsters quoted as the team retired to their club rooms after the game, "When that One Great Scorer comes to mark against your name, he marks not that you won or lost, but how you played the game." And tf ever there was a noble team despite a bitter de feat It was the scrappy Nebraskan eleven, that left the field Friday night. And as we bid boodbye to any such grid classic It is of course necessary for the sportswriters of the nation to make their selections of an all-season team, and such has been odne today. For the all star backfield, a unanimous vote has selected Robert Wadhams, of the Nebraskan team as quarter back; Kd Steeves, Rag, right half back; Willard Burney, Rag, left halfback; and Gordon tThric, Rag fullback. In the line, an equally enthusiastic vote has named, Don Wagner. Rag, left end; Stan Michael, Rag, left tackle; Morris I.ipp, Rag, left guard; Ed Mur ray, rag, center; George Pipal, Rag, left guard: Bob Dreibus, Rag, left tackle, and Bob Griffin. Rag, left end. to complete the all publi cation eleven. Following are written state ments from Kd Steeves, who ac counted for the lone Cornhusker score, and from the referee, who likewise did his part to account for the Cornhusker victory: It is true, as you have prob ably already heard, that I was slipped remuneration for my services in the grid battle played Friday between the Rag Rams and the Cornhusker. Cobs. Be fore the game editor Marsh called me over into a secluded corner. "Recognizing your superiority of playing," he said, "I want you to help u today." Well, we dickered and dick ered, but finally I settled for a free Yearbook and a percentage of the business manager's week ly cut. Though I had already agreed to "throw" the game, I would have done so anyway without reimbursement, for I couldnt stand to see all those bloody forms of the Cobs go home in mangled scanner all for naught. To be brief I threw that game because I was so chicken heart ed , and broke. Signed Ed Steeves. And the referee says: Twenty-five dollars is good money for any hour's work. Be cause I'm working my way thru college, and because I had just a cold half dollar left in my pocket to last until Turkey cation, those crisp one dol I r bills that Bill Marsh and Sid Baker, of the prospective Salt Bowl team, had to offer me looked good. Baker said to me, that if I would referee for them so that they could win for once, he'd make it all right with me. "We take in a lot of money, anyway, for nothing put out, so just name your price." Triple threat Marsh made the suggestion that 25 bucks would be a good price because they really wanted to win the game. "If we win the game, we'll have something to put in the Corn husker for once," said the south side office's biggest rester. I must confess that I had to look favorable on the Rag side also because my reporter's job was at stake. After I called two Rag touchdowns back and pen alized them on every other play, the Cornhusker loafer just couldnt score. The last quar ter came around and as yet I hadn't earned my money. And finally, on the last play I mus tered up enough courage and in nocence to make the Huskers score regardless. But Steeves of the Rag helped me out. Al tho the Rag staff doesnt know it yet, the south side sitters were offside on their last play, but what could I doT The score 25 dollars to 0. Sorry boys. Signed Harold Niemann.
