Whew, we can breath a great
deal easier now after the contest
at Ames is over. . .It very easily
could have ended up Iowa 14-Ne-braslhi
0...
If the team that played at Clyde
Williams field Saturday had been
defeated, a season comparable to
1938 would have more than likely
een the result. . .
That was the year that Hopp,
Ron rig and mates were sopho
mores and after losing the opener
went on to lose the majority of
the following contests. . .There
was one difference however and
that difference lay in the fact that
the squad of 1938 had experienced
men liberally sprinkled on first
and second teams alike...
The 1941 edition has a first
team that is made up of all expe
rienced men except in two posi
tions... The rub comes from the
fact that the second unit has no
experience to boast of...
Maybe some would think that
experience is not important but it
plays the major role in a game.
Howard Debus illustrates the point
well... He has great possibilities
as demonstrated Saturday when
he was running hard and blocking
well...
His trouble came from the lack
jf experience and he got a good
case of funiblitis which luckily,
1 came at the right time when the
Cyclones were in midf ield ... It
would have been bad if those fum
Mes had come when the Huskers
were in the hole. . .
With the first game out of the
way and with a victory under the
belt, the team will perk up and
there snould be no more worrying
f about fumbles, pass defense...
V
If, however, lite the 1938 team,
the Huskers had dropped their
first game, it would have more
than likely proved disastrous.
That the year the team lost five,
won three and tied one after the
first game defeat...
That's what I mean, everything
worked out right to come up with
the winning number for Nebraska
. . . Now the work will be to shar
pen up the pass defense. . .Fum
bles can be discontinued now to. . ,
Another luckv thine- for this
team is that they did not have to
meet the Minnesota Gophers in
the first game as was the case in

Yanks Win, 3-1;
Defeat Brooklyn
For World Title
They've done it again; The
Tanks won the World's Series
yesterday afternoon by whipping
the Bums of Brooklyn, 3 to 1. This
was the fourth win for the Yan
kees and . the Bums had one to
their credit, to clinch the world's
title for the Yankees. Bonn am, the
starting pitcher for New York
went the route and set the oppos
ing team down with a meagre four
hits.
The Yanks collected six, includ
ing a fifth inning home run by
Tommy Hen rich. The only near
fireworks came when Whit Wyatt
tried to dust off Joe DiMaggio.
Joltin' Joe didn't like it and
went forth to tell Wyatt so and
in thus doing brought with him
the players on both teams. The
umpires broke it up to let down
the crowd.

Library Officials
Purchase Unusual
Reference Book
Announcement of the addition
of a new volume to the campus li
brary is of considerable interest
to students and readers of Amer
ican literature. The book, "The
Oxford Companion to American
Literature," was placed in the ref
erence department collection on
Monday.
The Oxford Companion to Eng
lish Utert-.ture, a similar impor
tant classic, has been one of the
most popular and widely used ref
erences in its field on the campus
since 1932. The new book with
its aims at comprehensive and
historical study of American lit
erature should prove equally valu
able, according to library officials.
It was edited by James D. Hart
and published by the Oxford Uni
versity Press in 1941.

Highlights as
He Saw Them
. Of Iowa State Fracas
By Norris Anderson.
AMES, la. Old Jupiter Pluvius
poured soggy tears on 14,000
drenched spectators here Satur
day while the Nebraska Oornhusk
ers poured two cups of touchdown
tea for a 14 to 0 victory over a
stubborn Iowa State eleven.
Since Sunday's Daily Nebraskan
carried a complete game account
by Bob Miller, head curator of
this page, we'll pry into the fea
ture side of the fray.
Band Shows Off.
Iowa State's blue and gold be
decked bandsmen displayed a
novel entrance wrinkle when they
marched onto the field in two divi
sions. Marching at double-quick
time, , the two divisions joined
forces in a semi-circle around the
north end of the field for the flag-
raising ceremony. Two minutes
prior -to kick-off time found the
Ycl-Jax unit, armed with cow bells
and bright yellow jerseys, enter
ing the stadium. Yel-Jax members
are pledged to promote student
spirit, an object they accomplished
during the afternoon by tossing
qprn cobs at silent rooters and
razzing the Betas.
Pigskin Presents Difficulties.
Nine fumbles certified Nebras
ka's difficulty with the wet pig
skin... A heavy pre-game shower,
paired with a steady downpour
during the final ten minutes, made
the footing uncertain. . .Iowa's
amazing pass percentage was
compiled on short flips from Tipee
and Lohrey, whose pitching arms
seemed to revel under the high
humidity. . .Top end on the field
was Nebraska's Marv Thompson
. . .Thompson's tight defensive job.
was appreciated by the Iowa root
ers who applauded him when he
was replaced.
Hospitality Tops.
Press box hospitality was tops
...Hamburgers and fresh coffee
were plentiful, delicious, and free
...leading back on the field was
Nebraskas Dale Bradley. . ."You
can't tackle him," explained a
Cyclone e-backer after the
game, "His knees fly in four di
rections when he runs." Herb Von
Goetz's sturdy game at guard en
couraged Line Coach Lyman...
Sophomore Von Goetz had to re
place Eddie Swartzkopf, one of
1940's line leaders. . .Quarterback
Tippce, whole offensive show for
the Cyclones during the last pe
riod, is a sophomore. . .Cyclone
student rooters served oral razz
bernes to their coach when he re
placed the second stringers with
the varsity during the last quar
ter. All in all, it was a big day for
a football game.

Activity Monday
The clouds tried their best to
keep the fraternity men off the
touch football fields Monday aft
ernoon, but his best efforts could
not drive the players of two of
the contests to shelter. Three oth
er battles were postponed because
of wet grounds.
The ATO passing combination
of Jim Vanlandingham to Bob
Jungman proved too much for the
ZBTs. Van threw two perfect
strikes to the lanky Jungman to
account for two touchdowns. The
ATOs were successful in catching
a ZBT runner behind the white
stripes for a safety to bring the
final score to ATO 14, ZBT 0.
The wild passing game of touch
was held to the center of the field
thruout the game between the Sig
Eps and Phi Psis. Only once was
either team able to gain pay dirt.
The Sig Eps gained the victory by
the margin of 6 to 0.
the past. . .By the time the Gopher
game comes around I think that
it will find a team of Nebraska
Huskers ready, willing and able
to dish out the football necessary
to defeat the northern team. . .
