And those final seconds of the
15th renewal of this intersectional
battle between the Huskers and
the Panthers enfold just about the
whole story of the difference be
tween victory and defeat.
What to do?
With less than a minute to go
the double chalk line only 5 yards
away, the Panthers took time out
to discuss the problem before
them. Here was the setup:
The Panthers were trailing 9-7
and had staged a sustained
march from their own 47 to the
Husker 11 for a first down.
Three line plays took the ball
to the 5.
The last down play with only
25 seconds left in the game re
quired some deep thought. So,
the Panthers took out time. A
five yard penalty was imposed
on them for too many time outs.
Crashing Clarence.
From the Husker 10, the ball
was snapped on an attempted
fietd goal by Pitt's placekicking
end Stahl. From the right side
of Nebraska's surging forward
wall came a ranging Husker.
It was Clarence Herndon, jun
ior tackle from Grand Island,
who slashed into the Pitt sec
ondary and rushed the place
ment so fast that the kick was
hurried and the ball went wide
of the goal posts.
And with that boot went
Pittsburgh's chances of a win as
Harry Hopp froze the ball on the
next play that the Huskers ran
from scrimmage and the game
was over.
Placement wins.
Recounting the scoring of the
game, it came to be that a third
quarter field goal by Fullback
Vike Francis provided the winning
margin. And this placement was

Council orders new
election; appeal up
Two Student Council meetings,
one a short but stormy conclave
dominated by a turbulent crowd,
and the other a quiet gathering
with no audience, characterized by
hatchet-burying and unified action,
resulted Friday afternoon in a de
cision to hold a new election for
class officers and Prom committee
members.
Unanimously passed was the
motion that due to irregularities in
last week's election, a re-election
be held Tuesday, Nov. 26. Ray
Murphy, barb floor leader, summed
up the feeling of the council mem
bers, saying: "We are all agreed
that this is one of the best things

Adolph Hitler's arrival in Dog
patch as presented by the Farm
house kept the ACBC from get
ting the Coll-Agri cup for keeps
in the Coil-Agri-Fun last night at
ag campus. However, the ACBC
skit, "Radio Book Review" placed
second.
First among the curtain acts
was a girls' trio, "Cory, Seedy,
and Cider -The Apple Sisters" by
Hackman House. Eiwin Klein's
saxophone solos won second in
this division.
Begins late.
Beginning almost a half an
hour late, the show finally got
under way with a slow-moving
skit, "The Widow's Mite." Loomis
Hall's presentation, "Loomis Hall
Behind the Blind," popped up the
evening with a clever shadow
play, and Erwln Klein's solos, next
on the list, were outstanding.
"Dogpatch Saves the World"
the Farm house'B winning skit
was a hilarious comedy depicting
Hitler's arrival in America, at
Dogpatch. Iil' Ahner, Indiana,
hiU-billies, and Hitler himself
helped create the amusing scene
In Dogpatch.
ACBCs "Radio Book Review"
gave a presentation or "Gone
With The Wind' entitled "Went
With The Breeze." Clever jokes
were apparent throughout the
skit, but a final crack by "Ma
dame LaZonga" failed to appeal,
thus giving the play a poor ending.
Theater try outs
start Monday
Tryouts for the third Univer
sity Theatre production, "The
Imaginary Invalid," a farce
comedy by Moliere, will be held
Monday and Tuesday at 7:30
p. m. In the Temple.
In yesterday's DAILY, It was
mis-stated that in "Double
Door," Victoria Van Bret was
played by Virginia Thede and
that Caroline Van Bret was
played by Mildred Manning.
Actually Victoria was played
by Virginia Thede and Caro
line was played by Mildred
Manning.

tinguished service, at the Kiwanis

ma Xi, The Kiwanis club's distin
guislied service medal is presented

collekc, spoke on "Dr. Burnett as
Educator and Administrator," and
Dean W. W. Burr, of the ag col
lege, spoke on "Dr. Burnrtt as
Agricultural Leader and Citizen,"

the school."
But Saturday morning barbs Bill
Dafoe and Ellis Ruby filed
an appeal addressed to the
university senate with Dean
Thompson to the effect that tha
election of Nov. 12 stand with aU
ag votes counted.
The council also passed a recom
mendation to the Kosmet Klub
that they present the sweetheart
as elected Tuesday rather than

Left to the next council meet
ing Monday, but generally agreed
upon by members was the need for
council actions prohibiting under
lining of names on printed matter,
passing of slates at the polls, and
