.'AGE SEVEN Missouri Nips Brownemen, 38 to 30 THE DAILY NEBHASKAN, SUNDAY, FFJmUAUY 13, 1938 IwodiL Randal A HEAD Ell POKES FUN To the Sport Editor: "And the glories of the past returned again." Oftentimes you have meditated upon the possible combinations of ex-Cornhuskcr greats in the field of nthletics. Many times you have spoken of invincible, although mythical teams, composed of stars of other times. A football team with Lyman, Weir, Ely, Debus, Kostcr and others in the line, with a back field of Card well, Presnoll, Blue" Howell, and "Jug"' Brown; tmakpthfill outfit of Tipton, TIshcr. Wltte. Walnulst and Fisher; a truck combination including Francis, Locke, Ayres, Rhodes, Wlrsig; these outfits would be unbeatable, but they were merely nivthiml combinations. But perhaps soon now we may see those teams in action, a reality mull of dreams. The rieht step in that direction (disregarding such minor factors as eligibility rules urn! rlirht of participation ) has been made by an ex-cheerleader, who deigns to again parade in front of delighted fans the tac tics that made him a Yell King two years aro. What does it matter that the man has no right to participation, that his activities detract from the attempts of those chosen for the task, that eligibility rulings are not enforced in his case. He is one of the "greats" of the past, who wishes to supplement his three, years of participation in ac tivities with possibly a decade more. If only others could feel his guiding spirit, could show as little regard for propriety with respect to participation in student activi ties, shining stars of college life of other years might again return to bless the student populace with their presence. Perhaps, this man should be immortalized as one who showed Nebraska how to ob tain unbeatable athletic comblna t i o n s, unchanging publications staffs, and maybe an unchanging student populace. With best wishes, until the day when Bill McCleery again heads the Nebraskan, George Farley cap tains football. Sam Waugh coaches basketball, and the like. D. T. N. U.

The Huskers held their own with the Tigers during the first half. Altho they fired time after time at the hoop, they failed to con nect consistently. The Tigers functioned effectively on defense, hurrying the Scarlet's shots but were unable to penetrate Nebras ka's defense. The Huskers were out in front by a one point margin as the half ended, 15-14. The Tigers turned on the b'.at in the second half. Led by Jill Harvey, Tiger sophomore for ward, who top ped the scoring with 15 mark ers, the Missou rians forged ahead of the HusHers and held the lead during the last ten minutes of the game.

Major "Biff" Jones is back from touring the state. Unable to fill every request, the "Biffcr'' at tended as many football banquets during these winter months in as many towns as he was able. Starting after the football sea son closed last November, Major Jones has attended banquets in over 30 towns while the rest of the sports staff visited as many other towns as they were able. Often he attended banquets as high as five nights a week. Visits West Coast. Since the "Biffcr" was out on the west coast from Pec. 19 to Jan. 10, coaching the West team in preparation for the East-West annual charity game, this cut down on the number of towns which he was able to visit. When he came up here from Oklahoma last spring, he made a tour of some of the towns over the state, and he did not revisit those towns on this last trip but went to those towns where he hadn t been before. Taking motion pictures along, Biff ran the reels of those games requested by banqueteers In the various towns. Shots of the Min nesota. Indiana, and Pittsburgh games were very popular as well as a reel showing the highlights of every game. Commenting on the high Inter est which those out in the state took in football, Jones said that Nebraska had only one state uni versity as compared to many states' two, and thus this Institu tion had the advantage of the un divided attention of the entire state. Outstate Material a Puzzle. Although he talked to many high school senior football men, Jones could say nothing as to whether the material looked prom- HUSKERS C-::J n Nebrafka fir ft fl MlMourl Amen f 0 0 01 hooper f Tollman f 0 1 OlKelraeyf Knranria f 2 0 S' Harvey f linmm I 0 2 0!
