THE FENCE SEEMS
TO HAVE MANY SIDES
Everybody
On One Might
Trip Up Oklahoma.
BY ARNOLD LEVIN.
The . University of Nebraska
campus seems to be segregating
Into diversified football elements.
They are unified in belief only
something- is wrong with the Ne
braska football team and some
thing must be done about it.
When It comes to diagnosing the
Husker gridiron play, opinions are
as numerous as mongrel's fleas.
When the esoteries gaspingly come
to the "what's to be done about
it" opinions Jump to the millions
of a mongrel's fleas' progeny.
Radicalists are yelling for
everything from certain adminis
trative scalps to the benching of
some few Scarlet gridsters. The
center calls for immediate action
and winning ways, with a cryptic
"or else " tagging along. The
right wing group are the peace
makers, the "take It easy, take it
easy," boys. The "everything's go
In' to be all right" queue.
TOO MUCH TALK.
There's a lot of talk about poor
quarterbacking, about blockers
falling down on the job, about
things that should have been and
weren't at Manhattan last Satur
day. Well part of them are true
and part of them aren't.
It's an accepted but unjust fact
that Nebraska fans must have
their teams win In Big Six en
gagements or else refuse support.
And with that refusal goes a tidal
wave of resounding radical criti
cism, the most of It too unfair and
unrighteous to be taken as a true
attitude.
There could have been better
signal calling against Kansas
State, and there could have been
better blocking. Nebraska played
straight football that day, so
straight it was ludicrously boring
to watch. That type of football,
however, might have done the trick
if every man on the team had been
doing his part to send the ball car
j.. in thP Hear. The Scarlet
blockers failed miserably in theif
duties. And that old style iooidii
two plunges and kick didn't do
the trick. Something out of the or
dinary, something flashy, tricky,
firey was in order but was unful
filled. LET'S GET THERE.
However, that was another day.
The radicalists, I think, are creat
ing too much of a disturbance for
their grounds. The right w' igers
may be a little too conservative.
Perhaps the centers have the best
idea of it all let's get back to our
winning ways and get there quick.
Tt miirht renulre a few changes in
th team, certain emulates may
have to be deranked to the bench
for a session or so. It might re
quire some "take a chanceitive
ness" on the part of the Nebraska
quarterback. Whatever it does
take, let's get it there. But we'll
never get there without co-ordinated
unity on the parts of players
and fans, so let's forget all this
hedging and heckling for awhile
and see what Oklahoma will bring.
This is not the time to roar there
I i m nnri lint fl PHP1P ahead. We
can tell a lot more about Nebraska
football after Saturday, and mere
is still time then for the wolves to
point their noses.
I Pick 'Em?
Someone once told me that I
couldn't be wrong all the time, but
I'd sure like to find the guy. First
I picked a close Chicago game, a
razor sharp Iowa State game, Ne
braska over Minnesota, and Kan
sas State to go down 14-0. I don't
have much faith in my power as a
prognosticator. In fact my faith is
becoming weaker day by day. If
this keeps on I'm going to take
up "How to cut Paper Dolls in
Seven Easy Strokes."
I've learned my lesson. From
now on I'm hiding behind a tree
and go in session with the squir
rels before I start picking. But re
verse psychology is reverse psy
chology, so here goes:
I picked Nebraska over Kansas
14-0. It's a good thing I didn't say
28-0 because then maybe the K
Ags would have won. Oklahoma
comes to town Saturday. Three
X times Seven Y plus Z equals
XYZ. So maybe I'll say Oklahoma.
But that looks kind of funny.
Hmmmmmmm I wonder.

Q KETCHES
by
Ed Steeves
PERHAPS one of the most
guilded names in the state to
day is Samuel (he wouldn't tell us
his middle name) Francis. When
ovpr the hall renoses UDon the per
son of old Sam, the fan sinks back
on his allotted bleacher seat in
sheer confident relaxation. Francis
is Bible's dean of the college or
football, fourteen karat star, be
cause he is a triple-threater. Tack
ling this ponderous plunger is like
flagging a train, but besides this
he can produce effective spirals
with either extremity, pedal or
paw.
Francis has a tendency to live in
retrospect and to lament the last
two gridiron wars, but he also
forecasts fair weather this week.
"Oklahoma will be tough," he com
mented, "but Nebraska should win
because they aren't hampered by
any of the handicaps that they
have had so far."
This handsome Husker with the
perpetual smile was "blessed
evented" twenty-one years ago. In
that time he has not outgrown his
love for pure old fashioned fun.
Hallowe'en will no doubt be a
blissful day for Saml. The ball
room also dazzles him. He can
usually be found at a social func
tion wearing a grin that fairly bi
sects his face. Not that he doesn't
train, for it has been said that the
extent of Sam's dissipation is an
American magazine.
He admitted that his heart was
vulnerable to the fair sex, but
pleaded innocent of possessing any
Romeo ability. However, it is gen
erally believed that his six foot-one
and one hundred and ninety-five
pounds are made up of equal pro
portions of football ability and
sex appeal.
As large as his tracks have been
up the path to big time athletics,
Sammy has a little brother who is
making a repetitious trail. Sam
was on three mythical all-state
teams during his high school ca
reer in dusty Kansas: football,
track and basketball, while Fran
cis, Junior, was voted, while still a
sophomore, the most outstanding
high school football player in the
same state. He, too, possesses an
Atlas build and the same gridiron
characteristics of his brother. At
present he is a Junior In Hebron,
Nebraska, high school.
Sam 'is big moment of athletics
was prolonged thruout the playing
time of the current Minnesota
game. His. thrill came with the
mere thought of sending the
Gophers borne with their tails be
tween their legs (if a gopher has
a tail) and vanished with the final
gun of the contest
Upon receiving his rolled sheep
skin, the dynamic fullback may
coach, although such plans are
only tentative.
For substantiation to all I've
said ask an S. A. E. brethren.

Arrangements.
Definite plans for a spirited rally
Friday night as a forerunner to
the Dad's day game with Okla
homa will be made at a meeting
of the Corn Cobs, men's pep or
ganization, to be held Wednesday
evening at 7:15 in University hall.
Ted Bradley, president of the Cobs,
urges that all members be present,
since the rally must be a success.
The club will also make arrange
ments at tonight's meeting for the
sale of the remaining pennants
and megaphones which have been
left on hand from the Minnesota
game. If their sale at that game
is any indication, it is believed
that it will be possible to sell the
balance of the stock this Saturday.
"I want to thank those who at
tended the game at Manhattan for
their finp support and enthusiastic
spirit." President Bradley stated.
"If we can Just retain that spirit
this Saturday, I feel certain that
we can pull thru with a victory
against the Sooners."

mnet aionififflnt eneacement of

Huskers Stalled.
Meanwhile, Nebraska has ap
parently stalled, temporarily at
least in the doldrums. After Min
nesota's still-invincible eleven had
broken the Cornhusker roseate
dreams of an undefeated seasoc,
the Scarlet warriors slumped into
a scoreless tie with Kansas State
last Saturday.
Perhaps the Huskers had a too
confident view of their prowess
before the Kaggie battle and Wes
Fry's lads capitalized upon it. Cer
tainly they were roosting on Ne
braska's goal on two occasions;
certainly Nebraska did some very
inefficient blocking and tackling;
and certainly the same Nebraskans
have to turn in a much more in
spired performance if they expect
to keep up with Jones' lads, riding
just now on the crest of the wave

There'll have to be some notice

George Veenker can be accepted
as an authority. The Iowa State

that the Sooners had definitely the
superior team, and he made no
bones about admitting that he
hasn't seen a stronger line in me
conference. That statement as
sumes a notent significance when
one recalls that Coach Veenker has
also seen Nebraska's line.
However'a there's every indica
tion that the Huskers will cast off
the mantle of listlessness which
accompanied them to Manhattan,
and place the Scarlet prospects on
a par with Oklahoma's.
For one thing, Henry Bauer win
be back in the lineup by game
time Saturday unless something
crvps wrone- with his ankle. The
first string quarterback has been
limping Irom one ena or uie
coaches' bench to another in the
last two e-ames both of which,
you may recall, Nebraska "lost"
but is being counted on to lane
over the reins against Oklahoma.
Johnnie Howell turned in an effi
cient performance in both the Min
nesota and lowa siaie mis, uui
Bauer's experience and passing
arm serve a decided asset in the
backfield.
For another, this week should
give the Huskers plenty of time
to recuperate from the effects of
the Minnesota steam-rollering.
