Sunday, October 8, 1944 Dearth of 'Weeds9 Brings Coed Life To Pipe Old Age BY LESLIE GLOTFELTT. The proverbial hill-billy grand ma sitting placidly on a broken down front porch in Arkansas smoking her corncob pipe- has nothing on the modern college coed. According to a news dis patch from Lawrence, Kas., the cigaret shortage is giving Uni versity of Kansas coeds big troubles. No longer do they walk into a drug store and say "Pack o Chesterstrikcs, please." Now the word for the day is "Shoot the Mixture 79 to me," or "Prince Albert, please." If the cigaret shortage contin ues, think of the revolutionary changes that will be effected. Bull sessions on clothes and dates will be things of the past. Instead of wondering what dress to wear, coeds will be asking, "What goes best with my black suit the tiger-striped Kaywoodie cr the deep purple Meerschaum?" And, "Hey, who pilfered my Frank Sinatra autographed tobacco pouch?" No More Weeds. No longer will the coed trans late her Spanish with smoke curling up from a weed in the ashtray. Instead, her "Quiero un hombre will be punctuated with thick smoke puffs from her Turk ish water pipe. And the double chinned woman can get one of those tricky Dutch pipes that curl lovingly down around the adam's apple and thereby hide her extra chin in camouflaging wisps of smoke. No more quickly lighting a cigaret to postpone the advances of the too amorous gentleman friend. Just clench your col legiate model Yellow-Bole be tween the teeth and say, "Keep your distance, bub, or 111 as phyxiate you!" Maj. L. C. Dull Dies in Action On French Soil Major L. C Dull, university law school graduate of '36, died Sept 16 from wounds received shortly before in action in France, according to a war department telegram received by his wife, the former Elizabeth Bushee. i In command' of an infantry bat talion. Major Dull was awarded the soldier's medal for valor July 11. Connected with the bureau of agricultural economics Lincoln for several years, be was with the claims department of the Union Pacific when, as a reserve officer, he entered active service in January, 1941. Landed D-Day. A story which appeared in the Journal -Sept. 21, described the D-Day landing of Major Dull and his men in Normandy, as told in a letter to his wife. Their combat equipment had been sunk but they reorganized on shore and as they moved inland, met glider pilots moving the other way who passed their weapons to the weaponless men. Enough were requisitioned to make the initial campaign successful. Ma or Dull is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Dun, Clifton, Kas.- lie is also survived by four sisters. BY DICK DILSAVER. The Iowa Pre-Flight Seahawks laid a strong claim to national service team honors by knocking the Super clear out of the Second Air Force Superbombers to a tune of 12-6 yesterday at Memorial stadium. Approximately 30,000 fans, almost half in uniform, watched the sailors come into the second half as a revived team and take the game away from Glenn Dobbs and his Air Corps play mates. "Dobbs and the Bombers got off Mrs. Jonas Establishes Scholarship Memorial Fund Set Up for Metis A gift of Canadian farmland to establish the Dr. A. F.

Nebraska Hall Shows Display Of 57 Years of ROTC Work Reposing in the corner of the lobby of the third floor in Ne braska Hall is a glass case con taining trophies representing awards of the ROTC for the past 57 years. Long hours of effort and endeavor to win recognition can be seen in this collection. In the center of the upper part of the case is the Randolph Hearst plaque, a national award. presented to the University of Nebraska ROTC in 1929. Other awards presented through the years include Omaha chamber of commerce trophy in 1929, Mis-, sour! Valley league trophy ini 1927, Commandant's Cup in 1922, and John Philip Sousa ROTC Band trophy in 1927. A xmiqxie trophy is a sterling silver pitcher which was awarded to a nice start and a six point lead but the Seahawks just wouldn't let them keep it. Shortly after Dobbs had skirted his right flank for a tally the Seahawks did a little scoring for themselves as Don Samuels scooted through a big opening in the right side of the line to mark up the cadets first counter. The second half brought a new spirited bunch of sailors to the fray who wasted no time in put ting a six point lead big enough to bring victory, on the score- toard. Three times after the kick. E'jrnie Mertes lugged the leather and on the third made a sensa tional 47 yard run to cross the Superbomber goal line but a back field in motion penalty called the play back and nullified the score. A few plays later Mertes took the ball from quarterback Dell Tay lor out of a T formation and headed for the east sideline, re versed his field and flitted on past the Air Corps secondary to score standing up after his 32 yard pay drive. Dobbs Not Enough. Glenn Dobbs, former Tulsa n and highly rated passer for the Superbombers, couldn't carry all the ground gaining burden alone with his passes to give the 2nd Air Force enough gains without some running aid. It still takes some runners to put the scores over into pay dirt and the flyers just didn't have anybody to worthily fill the capacity of thf position. Vic Schleich, former UN Husker showed a great deal of superior power and skill on the defense for the navy cadets making many back of the scrimmage line tackles He also attempted to kick for conversion after the second Seahawk touchdown but the try was unsuccessful. Schleich earned the defensive honors for the day. Shortly after the kickoff, Dobbs started the fore-heralded passing for which he is famous on a com- (See SEAHAWKS, Page 3.)
