Argentine Student
States Opinion
Of Government
Argentine Dictator Juan Per
on's reign should collapse soon
and be replaced by a more repre
sentative government, in the opin
ion of Jose Pereyra, Argentine
student of soil conservation at the
Nebraska ag college.
Daring Game.
"Peron is definitely playing a
daring game in coming to power
now. Only part of the army and
a smaller part of the laborers are
behind him," Pereyra says. "Peo
ple down there are beginning to
show more interest in a republic
an kind of government now. Be
fore, they were content to go
along with anybody in power."
Newspaper Freedom.
The recent freedom given Ar
gentine newspapers to criticize
the government, Pereyra thinks,
has done much to stimulate in
terest in democracy. Pereyra is
employed by the Argentine agri
culture department and was sent
here to study modern soil con
servation methods. Erosion prob
lems in his native country are
similar to those in the midwest.
He came to the University of Ne
braska on a Cooper Foundation
fellowship and a travel grant
from the U. S. state department.

Nubbins Roll Over Neb. Wesleyan 24-13;
Darkness Halts Tilt in. Fourth Quarter
Showing a diversified attack,
the Nebraska Nubbins swept over
Nebraska Wesleyan 24 to 13 Mon
day night in the first real game
competition of the year for the
Husker B squad members.
The game was halted by dark
ness in the fourth quarter after
Nubbins had scored once in every
period, while the outweighed Wes
leyan squad pushed across one
touchdown in the second quarter
and scored again in the closing
stanza.
Tiny Dick-Saladen, 130 pound
sparkplug from Red Cloud, paced
the Nubbins as they moved
straight down the field after tak
ing the ball when the Plainsmen
punted the kickoff baek to Nub
bins territory instead of running
the ball back.
The attack stalled on the Wes
leyan 40 and after the "invaders
took the ball on the five follow
ing a punt, Burl Selden blocked
Berg's punt and Bill Ray recov
ered the ball in the end zone.
Dwight Woodruff broke loose
for a 40-yard dash in the closing
minutes of the first quarter, but
the scrappy Wesleyan line stifled
further scoring in the period.

quarter, the pass coming from 12
yards out.
Wesleyan Scores.
Wesleyan put on a scoring drive
of its own which was climaxed
when Ely scored after taking a
lateral pass from Del Miller on
the Nubbins' nine yard line. Mil
ler had gone high to take a pass
from Darrell Berg and was almost
down when he spotted Ely and
gave him the ball for the scoring
play.
Ely converted and the half
ended with the Nubbins leading
.12 to 7.
Saladen returned to action in
the third quarter to score the
third Nubbins touchdown from
close up after tossing a pass to
J. Miller which put the ball in
scoring position. -
The final counter came when

Blake Smith Opens Week
With Address in Evening

dent pastor, will open the annual

Union ballroom Sunday night.
Through Monday and Tuesday
following Dr. Smith's keynote ad

Yakhontoff
Urges Need
For Harmony
Gen. Victor A. Yakhontoff,
speaking at the all student con
vocation, in the Union ballroom,
Tuesday, declared "that the cor
nerstone of permanent world
peace is mutual understanding,
friendship and co-operation be
tween the United States and
Soviet Russia." The former Tsar
ist army staff officer came to
the United States in 1918 and is
now a U. S. citizen.
The general told the students,
"World war II taught us that
we cannot stand alone. When we
become allies of the mghty Soviet
Union we jointly succeeeded in
routing all our enemies. The war
also taught us that we had been
misinformed and prejudiced
against Russia, a country which
proved to be such a valuable ally
in winning the war."
No Require Approval.
"Co-operation and friendship
with Russia does not require our
approval of her political and eco
nomic setup. The late President
Roosevelt taught us that. The
cornerstone of peace may be laid
if Russia and America will learn
to understand and respect each
other. We can and must eo-op-ciate
with Russia. "Without this
co-operation peace is not possi
ble," the officer concluded. Gen
eral Yakhontoff is currently
teaching at the new school for
social research in New York City.
