Warn Float
BY JACK HILL.
Sharing top honors .in the 1946
Homecoming parade, Saturday
morning, the Sigma Phi Epsilon
entry and the Pi Beta Phi float
were judged to be the outstanding
displays. The Sig Ep entry was
built around the phrase, "No
Limit on the Big Six" and de
picted a hunter shooting down the
Missouri tiger. Presenting a large
gold key, the Pi Phis declared that

Situation" as a Cornhusker enter

Parade Judges Patricia Lahr,

named Beta Theta Pi in the men's
division and Delta Delta Delta in
the women's division as second
place winners. With one of the
more photogenic presentations in

urday afternoon.
For twenty-nine minutes
and ten seconds of the first
half the Huskers did nothing
to merit their position as a
contender for the loop cham
pionship. But throughout
the remainder of the game Bernie
Masterson's pupils were on the
aggressive, carrying the play to
the surprised Tigers during the
entire second half, only to fall one
point short in the final reckoning.
Dick Hutton, speedy Auburn
halfback, woke the Scarlet grid-
ders from their lethargy when he
skittered and scooted 60 yards to
a touchdown after fielding a Mis
souri punt on his own 40 with 50
seconds left in the first half. The
lightweight sprinter charted an
uncertain course through the en
tire Tiger team to enter touch
down territory in the eastern
corner of the field after taking
the kick near the west sideline.
This gallop set the tempo for the
Huskers who kept hammering at
the Missouri advantage for the
rest of the game. Although score
less in the third quarter, the Scar
let moved to two scores in the
closing stanza.
