Nebraska
Has a Game.
A CCORDING to the papers, Ne
braska and Pittsburgh are go
ing to have a football game here
Saturday. We say "according to
the papers" because from observ'
ing the Nebraska student body one
would never guess it.
With the eyes of all sportdom
focusine on Memorial stadium
Saturday in anticipation of the
day's choice bit of gridiron enter
tainment, the big intersectional
game of the week and, by far the
outstanding contest on Nebraska's
schedule this year, 5,000 students
go their daily way on this campus
oblivious of the fact that anything
unusual is going to happen. The
whole school is in a state of leth
argy that insures defeat Saturday
unless a miracle is wrought it
won't happen by itself between
now and then.
MI17HAT," some cynic is sure to
" ask, ''has spirit in the stu
dent body got to do with the way
the team plays? Haven't we got
a coach to make 'em do that?"
Well, if proof of what spirit can
do for a team is what you need,
think back you've guessed it to
the Notre Dame days. Back in
the 1920's Nebraska used to play
the great Irish school regularly.
The last four games in 1922, '23,
'24 and '25 were played when No
tre Dame, under the late great
Rockne, was the recognized pace
setter of the gridiron.
Nebraska, too, had a good team
but it wasn't in the class with No
tre Dame. Nevertheless, out of
those last four games, Nebraska
three times turned back the great
Notre Dame defeated. And it
wasn't a superior team, but an in
spired team, that did it. In those
days the students were back of the
team. The spirit in the student
body put the spirit into that team
which inspired them to play "away
over their heads" and defeat Notre
Dame three times out of those last
four games. No other team in the
country has a record against No
tre Dame like the one Nebraska
set at that time.
yHIS year Pittsburgh occupies
the place which was Notre
Dame's ten years ago. Since the
beginning of the season no team
has been able to stop Pitt. They
are driving toward that mythical
national championship. They are
coming out here Saturday for just
another game, confident, as Notre
Dame was, that Nebraska is the
next victim.
But that need not be. Nebraska
turned back Notre Dame with
spirit and spirit will stop Pitts
burgh. A victory for Nebraska, grant
ing the very probability that the
team can complete the schedule
successfully, would send her to the
Rose bowl and a national cham
pionship. Nebraska has n: of the beet,
teams in years, but . cannot win
without wholehearted support of
the student body. With that sup
port it can win.
That support does not need to
be evidenced by the rowdyism
that characterized the outburst
preceding the Kansas State game
three years ago when a mob psy
chology got the better of any real
spirit that may have initiated the
rally. It can be expressed mak
ing the between class and Friday
night rallies planned for this week
real pep demonstrations.
How about it, student body?
Have you any spirit?
Pay the Players.
PROFESSIONALISM, in collegl-
ate football, ever since the
Carnegie investigation in 1929, has
demonstrated marvelous possibili
ties for the college editor and mag
azine writers, me latest sugges
tion is made by the student editor
of the North Carolina Daily Tar
Heel, who suggests that the whole
problem be settled by paying the
salaries openly, the amount paid
each being a matter open to the
public.
The following letter from James
Crenshaw, editor of the College
News Service, through which the
Nebraskan regularly receives press
reports of news from other cam
puses, was received by the editor
yesterday:
Dear Sir:
Let's pay our footballers!
All this fuss and furore over
athletic professionalism is do
ing is to discredit the game.
Why not, as suggested, break
down and put our athletes on
a retainer basis, with special
bonuses for touchdowns and
yardage ?
A few days ago we home
came to our alma mater, and
the next day saw her favorite
sons lick the tar out of Presi
dent Hoover's favorite football
team. (Anybody see 'Tor'
Warner ? )
We like bonfires, bands,
yells, end runs, 50-yard passes,
ripped goal posts, even pep
talks at times, in fact the
whole glamorous spectacle.
Some say it's nonsense. Thank
God for nonsense!
But all of this is being
ruined by a hypocritical sensi
tivity about who gets the
gravy at the gate. If there's
a valuable, distinctive thing
American higher education
has got, it's color, glamour
superimposed, to be sure, but
still there. It's an illusion we
ought to save in an otherwise
too mechanized age.
We can't keep even that il
lusion, though, if we continue
to hear rumors that our grid
heroes are forced to accept
subterfuges so they may eat.
Why not make them toe the
mark in scholarship, then pay
them? After that, watch the
turnouts at the beginning of
the season!
Very Sincerely,
JAMES CRENSHAW.
So what do you think about
that?
Superfluous Itoyalty.
NEXT it's Nebraska Sweetheart!
A1too4r tVta voa r "MViro air ft
has chosen two "queens" honor
ary colonel (identity secret until
Dec. 2) and a farmers formal
queen. Now it's the sweetheart.
After that there will be a prom
girl, goddess of agriculture and
May queen, not to speak of an
Awgwan girl-of-the-month with
every change of the moon and
three coeds for the Cornhusker
yearbook.
There is such a thing as too
much of even a good idea. The
Nebraska campus seems to have
reached that stage. There are two
alternatives:
1. Reduce the number until se
lection as a "queen" really becomes
a distinction.
2. Increase the number until
there is a queening job for every
coed who wants one with a pic
ture in the Cornhusker.

their desire to have a Cornhusk

were left without. The situation
will be exactly the same this year
because those students who do
not order their Cornhusker in
advance will find themselves

It is hoped that all students
who desire a copy of this year's
annual will take cognizance of
this notice and make definite ar
rangements with the Cornhusker
staff for their copy of the Corn

Brownell stated that plans for the

done so to write to his father

tional luncheon and have the op
portunity to meet Nebraska fac
