second largest crowd in the history of Cornhusker football, and
which is eagerly awaited by the American pigskin public as one
of the epics of the season, is Minnesota versus Nebraska.
Fraternities to Take
Yearbook Photos Soon
With over 2,000 individual
Cornhusker pictures to be
taken within the next six
weeks, fraternities and sorori
ties must take action immedi
ately and request that their
members have their photo
graphs taken as soon as possi
ble, Faith Arnold, Cornhusker
editor, declared today.
"From the large number of
photographs to be taken, it is
very evident that this matter
must be given consideration at
once," the Yearbook head
stated. "Students can't wait un
til two weeks before the dead
line and expect that satisfac
tion can be given."
It was additionally stressed
that not only should the pic
tures be taken at once but also
the proofs should be returned
as soon as possible.
"We are not planning to fol
low the old policy of moving
the deadline past the Christ
mas vacation period," the edi
tor emphatically pointed out.
"All photographs will have to
be taken by that time."
Plans for the.. J936 Corn
husker are being completed
and the actual outlay has been
made. Miss Arnold said. Last
year's photographers, Rine-hart-Marsden,
are now taking
pictures for the junior, senior
and fraternity and sorority
sections.

TO SEE GRID GAME
Minnesota Section Sold
Out, Sales Manager
Announces.
Minnesota football fans. 2.500
strong, will be seated in Memorial
stadium Saturday afternoon cheer
ing their tesm to a hoped victory
over Nebraska's Cornhuskers, it
has been announced by the ticket
sales manager of the University of
Minnesota.
The ticket sales manager re
ported Gopher fans in the Twin
Cities quickly purchased the allot
ment of tickets for hc Nebraska
Minnesota grid buttle.
Football affairs in both the Hus
ker and Gopher camps receive
their crucial test this weekend,
even tho the season is but three
weeks old. The ultimate success of
both teams, which happens to be a
very momentous question this sea
son, may depend very largely upon
the result of this nationally head
lined pow-wow in the Scarlet grid
theater.
Big Test for Huskers.
For the Husker3, it is THE game
and the golden opportunity which
may result in Rose Bowl recogni
tion for the men of Coach Dana X.
Bible.
For the Gophers, who occupied
an envious, but unchallenged, po
sition as the greatest, strongest,
and most formidable team in Am
erica last year, it may prove the
turning point to the downward
trail.
The question, therefore, that is
uppermost in the minds of Mid
western fans, echied by over the
shoulder gridiron followers thruout
the nation, is: "What is going to
happen in Memorial stadium Sat
urday?" Woe be unto him who attempts
an absolute answer. Who's going to
be tne winner Saturday is a mat
ter of pure speculation .and tho
man who makes an outright choice
is flirting- with disaster, with two
teams as evenly matched as these,
picking the winner is a well nigh
impossible task.
Gophers Given Edge.
The Gophers, by virtue of their
invincible squad of last season, are
given a slight advantage by some.
But the names of Lund, Alfonse,
Kostka, and Marson are gone from
that great eleven, and even the
veterans who remain can hardly
hope to make the team of 1933
comparable to the team of 1934.
Certain it is, however, that it's
going to be a glamorous, evenly
fought battle a battle of Minne
sota's line aud Nebraska's back-
field.
There's no question but the lina
is Bernie Bierman s forte. With
veterans manning most of the for
ward posts, as in all the backfield
positions, he's going to place al
most explicit faith in their ability
to stop the galloping Husker ball
carriers.
But Coach Bible, with the aid of
Gargantuam Roy "Link" Lyman,
has developed a line of his own
which is worth talking about.
Which will excel? Let's compare
them.
At the ends Bemie Bierman is
going to rely mostly upon Dwight
Reed and Ray Antil, aitho he's
bringing seven pass jugglers to
Lincoln in an effort to make up for
his two stellar wingmen of 1931.
Three men, McDonald. Dohrmann
and Scherer, will do the most of
the Nebraska catching, with re
serve ability in Richardson, Hale
and Amen.
It's at the tackles, howecer, that
the Gopher tycoon really shines.
