Reporter Finds Nebraska's
Nationally-known Schooner
By Bill Palmer
Urowsing in the Union Hook Nook looking:
for ;j n Inquire cartoon I wanted to Meal, I
noticed a magazine called The Prairie Schoon
er. dancing at the atraclive cover 1 read,
"Published hy the University of Nebraska."
Well, 1 didn't know that!!
Through the use of the Pinkerton detective
bureau and three over-size bloodhounds I
learned that the magazine is edited by Prof.
L K. Wimbcrly of the university Knglish de
partment. I further discovered that the maga
zine, although it has national circulation and
is ranked as one of the ten best literary mag
azines in the nation, is pra-tically unknown
to the student body.
Third Degree Grilling:
Under questioning, Kurt Porjes, business
manager of the quarterly, revealed that the
Schooner has at times been rated over such
widely recognized magazine as Harper',
Mercury and Atlantic Monthly. He confessed
that regular contributors to Ksquirc, the
American and Saturday Evening Post, kucIi
as Jesse Stuart, Sarah Utsey and Charles An
goff, send stories to the Schooner that they
otherwise could sell elsewhere because tl.L pre

letters from I'M, New York daily paper,
and from various literary agents and publish
ers have been sent to Wimberly this fall con
gratulating the quarterly on its past success
and asking for advanee information on this
year's contributors.
Here Today, Gone Tomorrow
Ilespite this prominence, Porjes says that
the Schooner, since it carries no advertising,
will ( off the campus and cease publication
unless subscriptions increase substantially.
In a drive to bring the magazine to the at
tention of Nebraska students and increase
circulation at the university, Tassels and the
Cornhusker staff will begin Killing subscrip
tions to the Schooner Tuesday and will con
tinue the drive throughout the week.
Ycirly subscriptions sell for one dollar.

Sotack for the lone touchdown.
Marv Athey leaped high in the
end zone to deflect Dutton's aerial
but he only tipped it into Sotack's
eager hands.
Two Husker Threats.
Nebraska marshalled its defen
sive punch in the third period to
j threaten the Panther goal. One
occasion saw tne rresneil lads
drive from the Panther 46 to the
6-yard stripe only to lose the
ball on downs.
A Roy Long-Hank Reichel pass
provided the big push in the sec
ond serious drive. With Eisen
hart and Long alternating at
blasting the line, The Huskers
marched to the six-yard stripe
where the Panthers swarmed in
to recover Eisenhart's fumble.
Only other serious Husker of
fensive gesture occurred in the
closing minutes when Long flipped
to Reichel on the Pitt 19. Offi
cials,' however, ruled that Reichel
had interferred with the defending
Pitt backs.
Pitt Outplayed.
Once again did the Huskers
outdo a triumphant foe statistical
ly. Outplaying the enemy in
every department except final
score, the Scarlet raked up 15
first downs to Pitt's 5. Outstand

Wilkins Speaks
On Pacific Air
Control Today
Captain Sir Hubert Wilkins, for
25 years explorer of the Arctic,
Antartic and the Tropics and com
mmder of seven expeditions to the
polar regions, will give an ad
dress, Air Supremacy and Control
of the Pacific, in the Union ball
room tonight at 8 o'clock.
Sir Hubert Wilkins was one of
the pioneers of Alaskan aerial
transport. He was the first to un
dertake delivery of heavy loads
of freight over the northern end
of the Rocky Mountains from
Fairbanks to Point Barrow. He
was the first to demonstrate the
feasibility of making airplane
landings on the frozen Arctic
Ocean far from shore.
