Every game Nebraska plays
from now on can truly be labeled
crucial, for should they win thorn
i. they will have one of the first
outside chances to wear the Big
Six crown that they have had for
many years, but should they care
lessly drop one, the titular hopes
would be about as bright as a coal
miner's neck. Tomorrow nignt
Iowa State, the quint that turned
the trick 41-40 once before, chal
lenges Husker superiority.
The scarlet banner now flies
higher on the staff than that ot
the Cyclones, but wicrd things
happen when these two teams have
a session, no matter where the
scene. Last season Amos made
the Huskei humble by a 22-23
count. This score was the lowest
registered during the whole con
ference playoff. In the Nebraska
Iowa State encounter two weeks
ago, the two teams rolled up the
largest count of the schedule, 41
40. The Brownemen were favored
in both meetings just as they are
for tomorrow's battle, so you see,
anything may happen.
Home Floor Best.
So far, the Huskers have found
their home floor to be their haven,
losing not a single mix on this
site. Thus, they look to the coli
seum to serve as a storm cellar
when the Iowa Cyclones come to
town. This will bolster the spirits
of the home boys as will the
mumps which have taken Captain
Thorvald Holmes from the game.
Holmes was one of the toppers on
the scoring list and his absence
will be keenly felt by Coach Louis
Menze.
The possibility of at least shar
ing the throne with the Jayhawk
ers is the tempter that keeps the
Huskers in that ever onward spirit
Only the outcome from this game
can east enough light to change
the Big Six shadow. This effect
will not at first be noticeable, but
when Kansas journeys to Lincoln
next week end it will pop up in the
inspired brand of ball.
Iowa Loses.
Iowa has lost consistently dur
ing their conference Jate, but ac
ci rding to Nebraska they have not
dropped the appropriate ones, for
it was they who are responsible
for the ultra slim chances of the
Huskers. Revenge will be the mo
tif in mind tomorrow night so
says Coach Browne, but he is not
confident that the play will be the
velvet smooth that it should.
"The boys are in tip top condi
tion, I believe," Browne com
mented," although they did lose
pome vital sleep last week after
the Haggle game."
Cyclones Rest.
While the Huskers were being
pressed for a conference win over
I he Wildcats, the Cyclones were
resting and building up for Satur
day's obligation. Both teams have
been gnawing at each others'
spines all week in practice, tor it
in this game that will give unsur
passable satisfaction to the victor.
Mcnze's boys, while they have no
basketball bone to pick with Ne
braska, have a'few things to set
tle that have, been held over from
the gridiron. It is not their tie
sire that Nebraska athletes should
.straddle the top of the lists in
both basketball and football, con
sequent lv ihey will be pitching
their utmost for their second vic
tory. The Jayhav.ks meet Kansas
Sta! at Lawrence on the same
night of the Husker-Cyclone meet,
but this game will slice little
cheese unless the apparently im
possible should come forth and the
Kaggies would trip Allen's men,

This is unlikely, however, for
aside from the fact that Kansas

the least. Another factor discour

like Nebraska, put up their best

Ten Veterans Lost From '35
Eleven; Open Battle for
Positions.
LAWRKNCR, Kas. - Spring
football practice at the University
of Kansas will begin Monday, Mar.
2, for all candidates not engaged
in other athletics at that time.
Sessions wil be held for a period
of six weeks, during which time
there will be five two hour prac
tice sessions each week.
With ten veterans lost from last
year's team, nearly all of the team
positions are wide open for the
man who can offer the most to
ward filling them. Among those
lost by graduation or who have
completed their three years' com
petition are four all-Big Six se
lections, Captain John Peterson,
fullback; Rutherford Hayes,, end;
Ed Phelps, center and Dick Sklar,
guard, who also was invited to
play in the East-West game this
season. Grant Earcus, substitute
center who was counted on to fill
the gap left by Phelps will be un
able to compete because of ineligi
bility. Coach Adrian I.indsey is expect
ing nearly all the lettermen and
other varsity squad members of
last year to report. Freshmen
who received their numerals lust
fall will also be on hand when
practice swings into stride. Coach
Lindsey feels that there is some
good talent on the Hill which is
not showing itself for some rea
son or other.
"There are probaoly some tine
football plcyeis he-e at the Uni
versity of Kansas who have not
reported for lootball. Although
they miiy feel that tlu-y haven't
sufficient time for football; aren't
heavy enough; haven't enough ex
perience: come from loo small a
school; or haven't a chance to
make the team for some other
reason, J wish those men would re
port for spring practice. They
will be given plenty of chance to
win a berth on the team. J'd like
to have as great a numlirr ot can
didates as possible from which to
select a Sfjtiad, and want these
unknown footbaHl men to feel
that they are entirely welcome at
the practice field," said Coach
Lindsey.
Spring practice will be spent in
developing passers and kickers to
reolace those lost last year and
will give a good chance for judg
ing the ability of the men who
check out suits.

ELLIOTT TELLS GROWTH
OF SCHOOL SINCE 1891
"It is indeed a different Univer
sity of Nebraska to which I return
to deliver the sixty-seventh anni
versary address, from the Univer
sity of Nebraska that I attended
over forty years ago," Dr. Edward
G. Elliott, chancellor of Purdue
university stated in an interview
with a Nebraskan reporter Thurs
day evening. When the Purdue
president enrolled in the univer
sity in 1S91, the entire institution
was bounded by a heavy iron fence
which was constructed primarily
for the purpose of keeping out
wandering cows and other inquisi
tive rinmpstics. he stated.
At that time the only buildings
which went to make up me scnooi
were: U Hall, which at that time
nnsspsspd the other two stories
that have by now so noticeably
been removed; tne cnemisiry mo
oratory, now the college of phar
macy; the armory or Grant Me
morial hall, and the old boiler plant
which has long since passed into
nhiivinn. Dininc his attendance the
library which has been the chief
"gripe ' of student liberals 01 re
cent years was built. There was no
agricultural campus and the en
tire city campus was centered in
but four blocks, Dr. Elliott stated.
hNdfReucmfwypcmfwypcmfw yp
Although at that time fraterni
ties had not yet reached the top
in popularity there were three
Greek chapters on the campus,
namely, Sigma Chi, Phi Delta
Theta.' and Beta Theta Pi. The
feeling was considerably stronger
between the barb and the affil
iated man at that time and it was
only those who had a bountious
financial supply who even so much
as thought of such a life. A few
years later several other chapters
were founded on the campus and
among them was Phi Kappa Psi
ot which the chancellor is a mem
ber. During hi.- study at the univer
sity the military department was
m.ire or less the center of activ
ity, and held a much higher place
among student interests than at
present. When told of the consid
erable .iimment both favorable
and otherwise on that particular
phase ol the institution at present,
the former Cornhusker, stated
that he should attribute much of
the department's popularity at
that time to the efforts of the
honorable John J. Pershing who
was its head at that time.
Chancellor Elliott stated that
he was extremely interested in
the campaign the students of the
university have been conducting in
quest of a new student union and
further continued that the union
on the Purdue campus was un
doubtedly the most important
building of the Institution. He an
nounced that their union 1s con
trolled by the student body tinder
the supervision of a faculty com
mittee, and its construction was
financed thru an $8 per year
union fee from all students. Altho
the tax is considerably larger than
will b charged on this campus,
there has never been a complaint
since its construction, the chancel
lor boasted.
When questioned coneming in
teresting features of the Indiana
university, the president stated
that it was not generally realized
that Purdue ta a state institution,
and that it was originally the In
diana agricultural college. It ac
quired the name of Purdue, he ex
plained when a wealthy Lafayette
merchant offered to grant 100
acres of land and $2,000 in cash,
when that was a might lot of
money. If they would name the
school after him, and as a result

it is no longer the Indiana ag

Of further interest to the luck
less Josephines of the campus Dr.
Elliott stated that there was an
average of six boys for every girl
on the campus. The registration
fee is slightly more than here,
girls, and the location is Lafayette,

SUNDAY BAND CONCERT
He once confidently wagered
that if the coach would so much
ns eive him the onnortunitv to
I play in one game, that his name
would be perpetuated on tne squad
rosier, ucu me
time came.
Mentor Browne
pointed a selec
tive digit tow
ard him and
said, "Widman
get in thrre,' or
something like
that, and ever
since that time
Harvey H. Wid
man has been a
HARVEY WIDMAN varsity squad
From Lincoln Journal man.
His making good is attributed to
his ambitious style of play the like
of which no other team member
has. Whenever he is responsible
for a portion of Nebraska's team
play, he believes that his share
should be no less than one-fifth
and consequently works like a
beaver in a flood thruout the
game. Most cagers come to this
brain factory sitting substantially
on a sound prep foundation of all
state honors or that equivalent.
This particular athlete arrived
sans all attained glory, save the
fact that he was the member of
the class B championship Mead
high school clan in 1932. Upon his
arrival he saw his handicap, so
rolling up his sleeves he went to
work. He has been an indispens
able fraction of the Husker squad
ever since.
Well, for three years as a var
sity man and one as a freshman,
he has labored without compensa
tion except of enjoyment of the
game, but tomorrow night he will
be partially rewarded as he pilots
his fellow niaplesters in a confer
ence conflict dedicated to him. The
rvi tivn pnsuine eames at home
will be similarly played in partial
behalf to the squads oiner iwo se
niors, Whitaker and Wahlquist.
There are probably few that
haven't noticed the way that Wid
man's face turned the color of an
initial horseback ride when he is
in a heated basketball struggle.
The same thing happens when
mild ribbing occurs. The rosiest
hues are produced when mention
is made of his heart flutter to
whom he wrote at least one letter
per day on all road trips.
At the present date the aggres
sive guard hankers to have the
title reverend before his other ini
tials, altho he is now matriculated
in teachers college. His 6 foot and
185 pounds of sincerity should fur
nish an excellent background for
any pulpit.
Greek affiliations are not a pail
of his life, for he believes that
books and firmer stuff make up a
university.
A younger Widman is now in
the Ag college and may come to
town next year to grace the coli
seum court. He, like his brother,
was a stellar player in Mead, Ne
