Request Members Athletic Board University of Nebraska Sirs: We, the undersigned are varsity football players who re quest that you meet some time this week. We also request that when you do meet, you put your stamp of approval on the pro posed Missouri-Nebraska spring football match. A spring game is the only solution to our football problem. If there is no spring game, there will be little or no incentive to keep us reporting. Few, if any, of us will be around next fall, so a game now is the only happy solution. Missouri students and players are in favor of the match and Nebraska students, despite Gregg McBride's assertion otherwise, are anxious to see a spring game. Besides all this, we have some scores to settle with "those Missouri guys." We submit that yon board members owe it to our coach, to the university and to us to meet immediately.

To Pats It used to be "pounds'" of but ter each night at organized houses and boarding houses, but this week it will be only "pats. Caught short by the government order freezing butcer sales for the remainder of the week, housemothers are pondering the problem of feeding hungry stu dents on one or two pounds of butter. Most house chaperons rationed butter within the houses at breakfast and lunch yesterday in anticipation of a week-long seige. Some were able to obtain a few pounds from grocers and dairy men. Others were awaiting an okay to replenish their sup ply. Women's residence halls were assured of butter thru an in stitutional rating, and the Union's crib and dining rooms are classified as restaurants. Students who are unable to get foods frozen in the recent order are expected to crowd the Union and downtown eating places in order to get their vit amins until next week when ra tioning of butter, cheese, meat, margarine and lards will go into effect.
