YMCA JEETSAT TEMPLE
Spence and Hulac Will Lead
Informal Discussion
On Religion.
The Y. M. C. A. meeting tonight
at 7:15 in the rooms in the Temple
has as ita program an informal dis
cussion on the topic, "The Meaning
of Religion." Morton Spence, presi
dent of the Y, and Charles Hulac,
secretary, will lead.
Statements from H. G. Wells,
Hudson Taylor, recent book, "Re
thinking Missions," and the book,
"The Master," by Dr. W. R. Bowie
will be the basis of the discussion.
IT SEKIN1S
TO ME
Ify Irwin )"
Well we will have to concede
one thing and thkt Is Columbia is
good, et least one writer, Paul
Galileo, says so. However he did
add one or two rather unimportant
facts for his opinion. These are
some of the things which Paul
Gellico brought out.
In the first place he tayt, "Yeah,
Columbia i a swell team, It's an
Assistant Champion. Not only did
they swamp Virginia, 15 to 6, but
they overwhelmed a Cornell team,
9 to 6." "Incldently, however, Vir
ginia was noted out of a victory by
Ohio State which eked out a 75 to
0 score over the powerful Virginia
team. Then again Cornell's strong
team, which held Columbia 9 to 6,
was barely defeated by Michigan
40 to 0."
These above statements surely
indicate the fairness with which
Stanford selected their opponent
for the Rose Bowl, that is to say,
at least Stanford is not taking any
chances on being defeated. 1
would imagine that the hardest
competition Stanford has to face
the rest of the year will be against
their freshmen in trying to keep
in shape for the battle. All I hope
is that the Frosh are trained ani
mals and do not forget themselves
and play football, that would be
unnecessarily cruel.
Following is the content of a let
ter written to Ralph Wagner,
sports editor of the Omaha Bee
News.
Dear Ralph:
When I read that Stanford had
given the bid to Columbia for the
New Years day gymkhana, you
could have knocked me over wltn
one of Carnera'a right swings. Far
be it from me to talk about any
one In a derogatory seme, but If
Stanford really wanted to make a
double-barreled cinch of that
melee, why didn't she. invite Oska
loosa Home Economics institute or
the Wyoming Business college?
Nothing could have surprised me
more than that headline, "Colum
bia Gets Bowl Bid "
Why, as a matter of fact, I
might say In fact I will say
that I couldn't have been more
shocked and surprised If the head
line had read, "Hitler Picks AO
Kalman for Minister in Charge of
the Suppression of Betting." The
least Columbia can do for this
great honor is a nosedive about the
second quarter while the Native
Sons roll up ten touchdowns.
Your Faithful,
SLEUTH Z NO. 4.
p. S At the fourth mention of
the glorious California sunshine or
the oranges growing right in the
stadium, I'm going to throw the
radio out the window which I
should have done In the first place,
before the announcer got started.
Masters made the statement
that "the choice of Stanford was
no reflection on Nebraska." Who
said it was? The reflection is on
Stanford and on no one else. They
certainly flatter themselves in as
suming that anyone else should
take the blame or that their fear
of defeat should reflect on a school
they are undoubtedly afraid of. If
anything, the pick of Columbia
flatters Nebraska as being too
strong an opponent.
In the New York Sun appeared
the statement that the reason
Columbia was whipped was "be
cause of numerous fumbles which
marred their play and hindered
them from giving thetr best per
formance.'" The above, at ,-ast
in my opinion, Is rather a lame
and rather far fetched alibi. Afte.
all what is a football game but
hanging onto the ball and going
places. That is one of the ele
mentary things taught, and if they
have not learned to do that, then
it is rather poor reasoning to call
them good.
Then again it would take a lot
of fumbles to allow the other team
to run up a score of 20 to 0. If
they fumble that consistently then
they ought to take time off and
learn how to hang on to the ball.
Furthermore, when they do lose
the ball on a fumble the opposing
squad is not allowed to run with
the ball. How do they explain
this fact? This does not speak
very well for the Columbia de
fense. Supposing they did lose the
ball, what is 'he defense sup
posed to do, let the other team
score? When another team runs
up a score of 20 to 0 against eleven
men, then that team can hardly
be considered a Rose Bowl candidate.

Yellows Are Coached by Ed

By Chris Mathis.
Cornhusker football followers
will get a chance to see next
year's prospects In action this af
ternoon at 3:30 p. m. in Memorial
stadium, when two picked squads
of freshmen gridders scrimmage
each other.
These two teams, the Yellows,
coached by Ed Weir; and the
Blues, coached by Chris Mathis,
represent the frosh gridders who
have been out to practice through
out the season. No superiority of
playing was considered when the
teams were selected, so there is no
frosh varsity and frosh nubbins.

Explains Plays as Shown in
Slow Motion Pictures of
Various Games.
Dana X. Bible, cornhusker head
coach, confessed his disappoint
ment in the Rose Bowl decision in
his talk at the Rotary club lunch
eon given at the Lincoln hotel,
Tuesday noon. He added that as
long as Nebraska's teams are
backed by students, alumni, the
whole state, as it has been, there
is no reason for a slump in football
teams.
Bible also explained plays In the
slow motion pictures of various
games of the past season that were
shown by Ed Weir. He emphasized
the Importance of good blocking,
commenting on the fine work of
Gentry and Bushara of Oklahoma.
In connection with the Army
Notre Dame game that Coach Bi
ble attended last Saturday, ho
stated that he observed in the part
of Army three major mistakes. In
the first place, after they got a two
touchdown lead and took out their
first team, they were too slow in
putting them back. Also they
played a six man line even against
Lukat's plunges and even on the
goal line. Lastly on the blocked
punt, the kicker, instead of being
at least twelve yards back of the
line, was only seven.

1931, for Kassel is an M. C. A. headliner. And with a unique
