Tuesday, November 26, 1940 DAILY NEBRASKAN : U TdAmct IJ Br im Evinger Whew! . . . There's an old eport axiom which reads: "The champion wins the close ones." Well, If that's the case, just write down In your little black book that Nebraska is the cham pion. . . For in the last three games, the Huskers have escaped "serious injury" to their football record by the closest of margins. Trailing Iowa State at the end of the first half Saturday, the Scarlet-clad gridders had to stage a comeback, that would warm the hearts of any Cornhusker follower, to triumph over the inspired Ames eleven, 21-12. . . The week before was just about as bad, but the final score was closer. . . Pitt held a 7-6 lead be fore the angle field goal of Vike Francis made it 9-7 and then they had to fight tooth and nail to pre vent the Panthers from adding a last minute fielder of their own. Iowa's Hawkeyes went down 14-6 three Saturdays ago but caused the Husker fans many an anxious moment before the clos ing minutes were up in that game. . . . Oklahoma went down 13-0, but the safe side was only when that battle was over. . . Missouri's 20-7 loss to Nebras ka still was not too far fetched as the passing of Paul Christman was ever a threat. . . Kansas 2, Nebraska 53, well, the score there speaks for itself, but even in that one, the score at the end of the first quarter gave the Huskers only a 7-point lead. . . The second game of the year was another one of those neck and neck battles with the Huskers finally winning out 13-7 over In diana. . . Any team a touchdown behind could spring a man loose on a long jaunt and break up the game for anyone formerly lead ing. . . Then, remember the season's opener against Minnesota. . . If that offside piny on the 60-odd yard run of Butch Luther's had not been called back, the score might have read a lot different than the 13-7 defeat that stands in the record books now. . . So, Nebraska, you are cham pions, we don't know quite ex actly what you are champions of, but you can come up with the close ones. . . Only one team stands in the way of you before nestling that old Big Six crown away for an other year. . . But if you are to become champion of the confer ence, you can count right now on having another tough and close battle here in Lincoln Saturday against Kansas State. . . Incidentally, this corner ought to bill the athletic department in care of the Nebraska football team, for the Indirect ruination of a good pair of pants. . . Sliding back and forth on the wooden seat In the press box, last Saturday, during the last half used up the last few threads covering the ARENA'S southern exposure. . . But if it is the close game that decides the championship, we'll still pull for those and count on wearing corduroys (two pair) from now on out. . . 'YEHUDI' knows But Who's TEHUDI?

All last week, the papers were full of "bowl talk" and the easy "breather," Iowa State. . And all along, Coach Biff Jones "kept tell ing them down at the office" how dangerous the Cyclones would be. But we just answered back, "We know, we know." And now, the Biffer says, "I told you so." And rignt he was, for those Cy clones proved to be just as tough as he had been afraid they would be. But all that is a past story. The Biffer is sounding another call of warning. It's relative to the Kansas State Wildcats. The Aggie record may not be very impressive this year, but they are capable of dumping any over-confident team that hap pens to let down a bit. That is what Jones is warning his boys against now. No Big Six team can be taken lightly. Espe cially is this true in the case of K-State. They will have had two weeks of rest by game time Sat urday and are pointing to knock the Huskers out of the running for anything by a victory. Behm, Hopp captains. Coach Jones named the Husker co-captains for the final game of the Nebraska schedule. Forrest Bchm, of Lincoln, and Harry Hopp, of Hastings, will lead the Scarlet in battle against the Ag gies in Memorial stadium Satur day. Behm, altho hampered by a bad leg in the last two games, has been outstanding all year. Last Satur day, he was listed on an NEA AU American football eleven at tackle. Hopp was the leader of the drive to victory in the second half surge last Saturday that gave the Huskers a 21-12 win over the Cyclones. Monday afternoon, the squad looked at pictures of the game (only the first half) and then went out on the South practice field for a light warmup. The players that saw action last Saturday were in sweat clothes. Injuries were at a minimum. Schullc- (Continued from page 1.) couple of lines from the "old man" which said something like "my first game in a couple of years. I'm wanting so much to see you win." men but faced the 30 some men. Some say his message was something like "I don't mind see ing Nebraska beaten by a great team such as that of Minnesota but when an Iowa team comes to our field and beats ." On that word, Harry Hopp jumped to his feet. "That's good enough for me!" he shouted and the rest of the team took up the cry. They rushed for the door, eager to get back on the field. As each man passed through that door, he stopped for just a second, time enough for him to give that famous horseshoe over that door a good luck pat. Inspired team It was an inspired team that came onto that field. Its enthus iasm seemed to spread into the stands, stands filled with people who forgot the cold, forgot the Iowa team had a 12 point lead, for they were seeing the true Husker team, a team that coaches knew they had all the time. The game ended. During that period the Huskers rolled up 21 points to win by a safe margin. And perhaps "Pa" Schulte smiled and said, "I knew It all the time TUXEDO SUITS FOR RENT ASuDe Cleaoiers 223 No. 14th ;Best Husker team I've seen' claims Coach Jim Ycager Add quotable quotes:. "That Nebraska team is the best one I've seen in my three years of coaching at Iowa State." Thusly spoke Coach Jim Yeager in a brief interview after the Husker-Cyclone clash. His words of praise toward the Husker football team was divided with the praise for the spirit shown by the Scarlet fol lowers in the stands, Saturday afternoon. "I could tell as soon as th Nebraska crowd started whoop ing it up at the beginning of tho second half that we were gon ners. That old Husker fan spirit really won that ball game," continued Coach Yeager. Woodward accepts new position Edwin G. Woodward, former university professor, has been ap pointed director and dean of the college of agriculture at the uni versity of Connecticut. Professor Woodward came to the university in 1913 as an in ictor in dairying and continued .i the faculty four years, being promoted to the rank of professor of dairying. Democracies- (Continued from page 1.) Since the first days of occupation other occupied countries. Even tually those countries will rise all together and crush nazism and dictatofship in Europe." The archduke, who is descended from the House of Hapsburg, ex plained that the following methods will help accomplish this: First, there are many Czechs in the Ger man army who have modernized weapons and can create a lot of trouble in Germany. Next the Germans have also lost men and weapons in France. Al though the revolting nations will fight without tanks and airplanes, because these cannot be collected secretly, the efficiency of German tanks will be reduced because the countries will not attack in one line as one body. "All these reasons give me great faith in the future: England's mili tary strength, confidence, national unity and eliminated fifth column." Impossible immediately. impossible immediately after this war because there would be so much hatred of races and nation alities. "What we lack is a balance of power in Europe. A solution to this is to unite the smaller nations who can be united without hatred into sections: Central Europe, Austria, Czechoslavakia and Hungary; Second block, Bal kans; Third block, Baltic States and Poland; and the Fourth block, Scandinavia and Finland. "The big nations such as Ger many will remain as they are. This arrangement will foster eco nomic and cultural- relationships between the nations and thus will bring friendship to the people. It may also be the beginning of bringing about a final great United States of Europe." STATE OF THE THEATER.

A two-day rest followed the Iowa State game. But last week the Wildcats again were hard at work, remembering that Kansas State has been known to give the Nebraska club some of its hard est battles. Coach Hobb Adams voiced the hope that his club would be in top shape for the final contest with the exception of Gene Fair, who was lost early in the season when he suffered a leg fracture. The cripples who may be back in the lineup are Kent Duwe, hard smashing quarterback; Frank Barnhart, promising junior end; and Charles Fairman, a senior guard. All are lettermen and regulars on the 1940 K-State ball club. Duwe has been out with a leg injury since the first quarter of the South Carolina game. Fair man has been inactive since the Kansas university contest because of a bad ankle, and Barnhart has been out with a knee injury since, the Wildcats played Oklahoma.

Each team has several games to play before the schedule is completed. Several teams are practically assured of a place how ever in the final standings. In league one Phi Kappa Psi has cinched at least a tie for first place, having won four and lost none. Next in line is Sigma Alpha Epsilon with three wins and one loss. There is a two-way tie for dominance of league two between Sigma Phi Epsilon and Delta Up silon who have won two and lost none. There is also a tie for the next place between Sigma Nu and Delta Sigma Phi with two wins and one loss. Kappa Sigma is the big gun in league three having won three, lost none.
