the "yearbook" rookies yesterday
afternoon to the tune of 43-4 be
fore an estimated crowd of 24,000
who crowded into the stands to
watch the outstanding post season
game of the season . . . naturally.
With Coach "Mamma" Kerrigan
pacing the length of the field egg
ing her victorious team on to
touchdown after touchdown, the
underdog Cornhuskerites didn't
have a chance . . . naturally.
Using a whirlwind pass and run
ning attack, the Draculas com
pleted 30 forward passes and ran
a total of 320 yards to pile up the
biggest score against the year
bookies since the inauguration of
the game 15 years ago . . . natu
rally. With Killer Miller and Sleasy
Schlater at halfbacks and Sideslip
Svoboda calling signals, the Drac
ula worked like a charm against
Killer Huwaldt, Meaty-Matey Mat
toon and Stabber Robinson of the
Cornhuskerites . . . naturally.

The cornerstone of the new Don
L. Love Memorial Library will be

when the Coi nhuskerite line left
the field saying "We won't play
with those naughty Draculas.
They play too rough." . . . natu
rally. When "If walked onto the field
before the opening kickoff, the
crowd gasped and then began a
cheering session which lasted al
most ten minutes. After the Corn
huskerites discovered the identity
of "It" a heated conference be
tween the two coaches, Krafty
Kerrigan and Ripplin Russel fol
lowed, since Ripplin Russel hadn't
thought of using "It" on her team
and she realized all was lost . . .
naturally.
Following the game the coaches
made statements to the press.
Krafty Kerrigan stated, "I knew
it was in the bag." Ripplin Russel,
crushed by the slaughter of her
team, simply said, "Sob Sob!" and
she meant it . . . naturally.
