DAILY NEBRASKAN
. With l
Today, armed with a divining
rod, and a fake name and disguise,
I nervously approached my desk.
I was afraid that my typewriter,
chair and other sundry office
equipment, would be loaded with
Booby Traps, or other equally
violent forms of sudden death.
However, it seems that dying a
quick and sudden death is not a
too satisfactory and fit end for
one of my caliber.
Let me state, right here and
now, that the whole degenerate
and incompetent article of last
Monday was mine, all mine, and
no one else's. It does not, nor was
it intended to, express the thoughts
or feelings of the students of this
university. However, I must ask
that you let me make some sort
of a defense for myself.
Things of this nature are quite
often misunderstood, which is re
gretable to say the least, and it
is on this point that I shall make
my plea, I am sorry that the
ASTP boys interpreted my words
as they did, because believe me
they'weren't meant to be taken in
that manner. I, as a civilian, am
not, or was not suggesting that
they have a "horrible," nasty ob
stacle course. I merely said I am
and was, surprised that they did
not have one of those "bloody,"
"ghastly,' body breakers down
here. I am not advocating that the
Army make the soldiers run ob
stacle courses, and I am sure they
need no suggestions from me, as
is so vividly portrayed by thought
and word, in other parts of this
rag.
There is nothing more that I can
say that has not been said. Peo
ple do not like me, or obstacle
courses. I do not like people, or
obstacle courses. Much sadistic
pleasure is received from watch
ing others run obstacle courses,
and that's all there is to it.
The Cornhuskers are bound to
win this game against Kansas on
Saturday. They have flashed (mo
mentarily I'll grant you) scoring
power at every fray this season,
and at times have looked like real
ball players. With three games, all
defeats, tucked under their belts.
they should have gained enough
experience and desire to win a
game to really get out there and
show some stuff.
In running up against the Kan
sans, the Huskers will meet a team
that is more evenly matched with
them than any other they have
met The Jayhawkers are small
like the Huskers. and also inex
perienced. '
With Ted Kenfield back in the
lineup, and the reshlfting of the
backfield, which gives "Buzz"
Hollins more chances to carry the
ball, Nebraska should be on the
long end of the score. However,
Kansas is fast and tricky, but for
me, I'm picking the Huskers.
The team that wins my vote and
admiration for the best team in
the country, except for the
"fightin'" Irish, is little College
of the Pacific. Under that grand
old man of football, Alonzo Stagg,
this small outfit, given a shot in
the arm by Navy personnel, has
whipped the best of them.
Starting the season, and every
game as an under-dog, the COP
boys have thrown the book away,
sneered at odds, and generally
beat h out of any and all comes.
If they whip Southern Cal., and
they might, they will have earned
an undisputed right to the Rose
Bowl. They have really earned
that right as no other team has
ever done, and I would like to see
them get the bid this year.
