Thousands cheer team on arrival Nebraska's greatest team in 50 years of Cornhusker football his tory came home yesterday, and was treated to a homecoming rally which proved two things: first, that Nebraska fans, win or lose, are loyal fans and secondly, that, for perhaps the frst time in his life the coach of this mighty team, Major 'Biff" Jones, knew real fear. The loyalty was proved by the 2,000 fans who braved cold weatn- er and falling snow to greet the j tardy team special upon its ar- , rival yesterday morning, and cli- j maxed by a huge bonfire rally on 1 Memorial mall last night with the i burning of hundreds of Christmas 1 trees which created such a great flame, as one little 10 year old fan put it, "I'll bet they can see that in Pasadena." ''Don't injure players." When asked to speak at the rally on the mall, Jones first asked, then pleaded, and finally demanded that the surging, mill ing mass of some 5,000 fans would not injure any of his football play ers who were in the crowd. "They have faced a lot of opposition this year but nothing like this," he said, "and I am really afraid or' injuring them." In expressing appreciation for the loyalty of the cheerleaders, farvs and pep groups of the Uni versity, Jones stated, "With every thing California has, I was very happy to return to Nebraska and Nebraska's people good people and loyal supporters." At the rally h.'lL at the Bur- lington station in tffe morn ing the team was welcomed home by (Se TEAM RETURNS, page 4) Final picture deadline Jan. 20 "Absolutely! Positively! Fi nally!

Brother, you see, Is that chap who relates his California expe riences in all and sundry places; he may go into detail during the vital part of a lecture concerning the effects of nicotine on the earthworm, or he is the fellow who stoops to tell the plumber in the manhole that it rains out there and the only roses he saw was a bottle of four. In short, he's that bird who rep resents all of the people who had experiences, some of which we are about to relate. Sigma Nu's tell of the fellow so beladen with bottled New Year's cheer that he couldn't walk. It seems that he was lying, face down, on the sidewalk near one of Hollywood's residential hotels and kept muttering over and over to himself, "I'll climb this wall if it takes me all night." And to speak of the magic of magic.

Amount of the appropriation, contained in the budget, has not been released for publication, but will be made pub lic following the governor's pre sentation tomorrow. Whatever figure the governor sets for the appropriation final enactment will depend upon the findings of the unicameral ap propriations committee. An outline of the urgent needs of the University for the next two years was recently sent to the governor by the board of regents. The sum $8,110,073 has been broken down in a series of articles published earlier in the year in the DAILY. The sum represents an increase of $355,000 in the general University fund. If the appropriation should be cut below the amount asked by the regents the University would be faced with a grave financial crisis involving: the discontinu ance of important research work; the loss of excellent staff mem bers and a dismissal from the va rious crediting organizations such as the Association of American Universities and the North Cen tral Association.
