Before one of the smallest
crowds ever to witness a Nebraska
Homecoming game in Memorial
Stadium the Cornhuskers splashed
and skidded their way to a 7 to 6
victory over the Jayhawks' of
Kansas University.
The rain, which started in earn
est shortly after noon, continued
throughout the game and drove
most of the fans who watched the
muddy spectacle up into the pro
tected part of the stadium under
the balcony. The players became
so bespattered with mud after a
few falls that it was difficult to
distinguish the blue shirts of the
Jayhawks from the red shifted
Cornhuskers.
Present Pep Queen.
While the Mortar Boards and
Tassels formed a "V" on the grid
iron before the student cheering
section, 1942 Pep Queen, Polly Ann
Petty in her scarlet and cream
cape, drove into the stadium in an
open car accompanied by Yell King
Bernie Urich and was presented to
the homecoming crowd. She re
ceived from Dean T. J. Thompsonh
Approximately 500 couples, stu
dents and military trainees,
greeted Peggy Larson as the 1943
Pep Queen last night at the 31st
annual homecoming celebration in
the Union ballroom.
At 10:30 the green stage cur
tains parted revealing the new
queen, dressed in black, standing
before a gold metallic cloth back
drop which reflected scarlet from
the colored spotlight. The presen
tation platform was on the stage
at the east end of the ballroom,
and was decorated in scarlet and
cream and featured the Tassel
emblems.
Receives Roses.
Polly Ann Petty, 1942 Pep
Queen, ascended the dies and pre
sented her successor with a dozen
roses. Bernie Urich, Yell King,
then led Miss Larson from the
stage to the dance floor.
The new Pep Queen is a junior
in ag college, vice president and
secretary of the ag war council,
member of Tassels, secretary of ag

Club and the BABW Interhouse

"The Scarlet and Cream."
This was the debut of new Yell
King Urich and
several cheerr

the weather and
the discomfort
of sitting in a
pouring rain

The Cornhusk

about for this is
their first win
of the seasonand a Homecoming;
besides.
