TO UPSET DOPE BUCKET
Ochallenge of the Jock Sutherland
crew, and to the opinions of the
experts, back room strategists, and
over-the-counter coaches. While
everybody is talking of the Corn
huskers who "were" (that's their
opinion of who the Huskers will
be after Saturday's conflict) those
same Huskers have very definite
ideas of their own on the subject,
and those ideas center in one gen
eral statement: 'We're going to
beat Pitt." At their work, play,
while they eat, even while they
sleep, they concentrate on those
magic words: "We're going to beat
Pitt."
Panthers Rate High.
It seems odd to the general ob
server, one who just keeps up with
events by means of the daily news
paper sport pages. Here these
Panthers have clawed their way
thru eastern opponents' opposition
as if it were tissue paper, bowing
only once, and that once to Minne
sota, which team pinned the only
defeat hanging on the Huskers to
date. Here these ranthcrs arc
rated as one of the best teams ever
turned out of the Smoky City n
stitution, and from the prairie
lands of Nebraska comes that de
termined cry: "We're going to beat
Pitt!"
BEAT PITT.
To the casual observer that
seems funny at first, but let him
see the determination with which
the Husker gridiron huskies go
thru their work, let him see that
steely, hard look in their eyes when
their thoughts are turned to the
Pittsburgh Panthers, and the cas
iihI obsei-vcr might think twice be
fore making any predictions about
the Husker-Pittsburgh contest.
PULVERIZE THE PANTHERS.
"We're going to beat ritt!" It's
become a part of the Nebraska
lads, and they feel confident and
equal to the task. They are going
to settle an old score when the
Panthers come to town. They're
going to settle the question of
whether a Pitt team is good enough
to end the victory string on the
home turf. They're going to get
revenge for defeats of the past.
As far as they're concerned, the
Panthers have left all their claw
ing and raging thru opposition be

definitely settled its attitude
towards their touted opposition.
