Young Beginner.
Beginning with the trombone at
the ripe age of seven. Sonny
teamed with his two sisters and
mother to play family concerts in
the neighborhood of his home in
Brockton, Mass. At sixteen he
went to New York, where he met
Ben Bernie, and began playing in
some of Bernie's ensembles. After
an interlude with Paul Tremaine,
Sonny landed a berth with Glenn
Gray's famed Casa Loma band.
While a low-range trumpet man
with Gray, Dunham tried his hand
at arranging for the first time. His
job on "Pagan Love Song" is still
rated as one of the ten best ar
rangements in modern music.
After Gray's band disbanded.
Sonny gathered some musicians
together for one of the finest ag
gregations in the land. How wise
his choices were is shown by the
rating held by Dunham, who at 33,
is considered one of the nation's
top band leaders.

BY GEORGE MILLER.
The Nebraska Cornhuskers joined Kansas, Oklahoma
and Missouri in a four-way tie for first place in the Big Six
by grinding out a 33-0 win over the impotent Iowa State Cy
clones Saturday afternoon at Memorial Stadium before
25,000 fans in the final home game of the season.
Three times in the first half
Bernie's boys took advantage of
Ames miscues to rack up three
touchdowns and with a 19 point
margin at halftime the Scarlet
gridders were never in danger.
Dick Hutton and Bill Moomey
were running in top form, and the
Huskers moved at will up and
down the field, controlling the
ball most of the lime. Due mostly,
to the utter lack of a running at
tack, the Michalske-coached Iowa
Staters were unable to get farther
into Nebraska territory than the
40 yard line.
Bill Chauncey was the work
horse of the Iowa State attack,
but the Cyclones depended on
passes by Ron Norman to provide
most of their yardage. The passes
failed to click and so did the
visitors who wound up their sea
son with Saturday's effort.
The best play of the game is
not recorded in the points-scored
column, for a slipping penalty
nullified a 56 yard gallop by Hut
ton early in the third quarter.
Hutton Runs. 1
Ron Norman punted up the field
to the elusive Auburn flash who
cut across the field to the west,
leaped a pile of would-be tacklers
at the Iowa State 12 and changed
directions to end his jaunt in the
east corner of the end zone. How
ever the penalty cancelled the ef
fort and moved the ball back to
the Nebraska 30.
Another long-distance sprint, by
Bill Moomey, was stopped five
yards short of touchdown terri
tory. The right halfback broke into
the clear for a 61 yard excursion
before he was knocked out of
bounds midway in the third quar
ter. Quarterback Fred Metheny,
making his first appearance in
the starting lineup, paced the
Scarlet point-makers with a pair
of touchdowns, both coming on
quarterback sneaks from within.

Senior Statesman.
The extent of Dr. Hambro's
activities is a yardstick of his re
markable abilities. Dr. Hambro
has held the position of Head of
Parliament, second in importance
only to the King, for twenty
years. He was one of the young

Parliament. When the Germans

charge of the affairs of the Lea
gue until it is completely taken
over by the UN.

League of Nations and points the
way to a really effective world
peace. Besides the books he has
written, he has translated more
than fifty books into Norwegian.
He was editor-in-chief of "Mor
genbladet," oldest and one of the
