Cornhusker Spirit Runs High
1 In Classic Homecoming Game
Nebraska's Cornhusker spectators had a chance Satur
day to comply with tradition as they released scores of red
hydrogen-filled balloons in Memorial Stadium following the
spectacular touchdown run by Dale Adams in the game's
third quarter.
Spirit ran high, both on the field and in the stands
where the Spectators broke out in spontaneous cheers for
the game's individual heroes Novak, Myers, Jacupke and
Adams and for the entire heroic
team which fought a valiant bat
tle in the 1947 Homecoming game
Fan Changes Sides.
One worried Nebraska fan,
shortly after the first Kansas
touchd6wn, began to cheer for
Kansas, remarking, "The side I
yell for always loses, so here goes
the jinx on Kansas!" .
Two visiting Kansas fans who
sat alone among the Nebraskans,
outdid themselves to cheer for
their boys durin? the first half
and in the last three minutes of
the came. Frowns and cries of
"Aw. dry up" had no effect on
their outbursts, but Nebraska
cheers, up to the final gun, man
aged to drown them out.
Iluskers Back Team.
Nebraskans, hoarse from con
stant yelling, went wild during
the third quarter as the Husker
team ployed its way down the
field. As if determined to prove
that Nebraska spirit needs no
post-mortm, the fans proudly
backed their team all the way.
