Huskers Ou tpiay Great Pitt Team IX I II 11 in e Dta FIGURES SHOW TOTAL NUMBER OF STUDENTS HAS BEEN DECREASED Semester Enrollment Less Than Last Year's by 8.93 Per Cent.

The med ical college student body decreased but one. The college of arts and sciences, with 1,534 students as compared with the 1,671 of last year, held its place as the largest college in the University, with the teachers college, with 984 students, holding its second position.

HARD BATTLE ENDS IN SCORELESS TIE GAME SIDELIGHTS Coach Jock Sutherland came over to the Nebraska dressing room following the game and told Coach Bible that "your boys outplayed us today." Which after all was merely admitting what 27,000 fans thought about the affair. Coach Dana X. Bible simply said: "It only goes to show that when a team is "right" mentally, it can give a good account of itself." The Huskers were certainly in that frame of mind, because a more brilliant exhibition by a Nebraska team rarely has been seen, at Memorial sta dium. Two Pittsburgh sports writ ers had this to say after it was all over: "The trouble is, your Nebraska teams are un derrated in the east. We knew you had a much better team than you were given credit for. Coach Bible's eleven deserved to win to day." They, praised the great line play of the Huskers, the running of Sauer and Mathis and the smart field general ship of Masterson. If George Sauer's triple threat display Saturday was not of All American caliber, then someone may be wrong. Chris Mathis wasn't far be hind George in effectiveness, either. Warren Heller was the only Pittsburgh back who could get away for anything ap proaching consistent yardage. He is a slippery, hard running ball carrier. Capt. Paul Rei der was next In line for Pan ther offensive honors. ENGINEERING SOCIETY MEMBERS TAKE TRIP A.S.M.E. and A.I.E.E. Will Inspect Plants In Omaha Monday.

Statistics Reveal Biblemen Lead in All Phases Of Game. Nebraska's ' Cornhuskers con vincingly demonstrated to the Pittsburgh Panthers and 27,000 spectators Saturday afternoon that they had the better football team, altho the official score read an other 0 to 0 tie into the football history between the two schools. It was without question a "moral victory" for the Huskers. In fact, it w?3 even stronger than that, for Coach Bible's inspired team out played Dr. John Sutherland's un defeated outfit by a decisive mar gin. With George Sauer and Chris Mathis showing the way, Nebraska rolled up a total of 13 first downs to 8 for Pittsburgh, while they out yarded the Golden Panthers 2(59 yards to 183. Sauer's presence in the lineup largely accounted for the brilliant offensive exhibition of the Ne braska eleven. He set up the pins for the chief scoring threat re corded by either team, when he galloped around right end for twenty-two yards midway in the second quarter to place the ball on the Pitt 25-yard line. After two ineffective tries at the line, Sauer dropped back and passed to Masterson in the flat zone for t w e n t y-one yards. Sebastian tackled Bernie on the 6-yard line. Mathis wriggled thru for three yards on the next play, and then Sauer got one more. A detrmined Panther defense stopped Sauer for no gain, and the Husker threat vContinued on Page 4.) 200 ATTEND ANNUAL DAIVS DAY BANQUET BEFORE PITT GAME Speaker Urges Fathers to Take More Interest in University.
