Sutherland
Lauds Dana X.
THAT Nebraska's football team has been
hoverinp on the verge of greatness for a
period of vears without yet getting there the
oninion iromukated by Jock Sutherland.
Coach at the University of Pittsburgh. But
even more vitally interesting to Husker grid
fans is his prediction concerning the " Little
Colon el's" success this year. According to
Coach Sutherland. Dana X. Bible's Cornhusk
ers this time are due for greatness.
'In fact," the reknowned Panther coach
asserts, "I have a pretty pronounced hunch
that they're (Nebraska) the team to break
Minnesota's winning streak at last. The latter
probably will be as good as ever. They have an
unbeatable combination, namely, great materi
al and a great coach. . .Still, no team can go on
winning forever and, if anybody is going to
stop those Gophers, it is Nebraska. I'll be sur
prised if they do not."
Always a strong supporter of Coach Bible
the Panther mentor went on to comment upon
the n-pe of sportsmanship displayed by repre
sentatives of the school. "Moreover," says
Mr. Sutherland. "Coach Bible's sportsmanship
more nearly touches the ideal than almost any
man I know. I can well remember the year
of 1932, for example, when Nebraska, always
a team with Rose Bowl ambitions, was nearer
this goal than ever, only to have Pitt stop it.
The Huskers must ha " been inconsolable with
that defeat. Yet. when ive final whistle blew,
they walked across the line of scrimmage and
shook hands with my boys. Ai.'d that, ladies
and gentlemen." says Coach Jock Sutherland,
"is the way football or anything else should
be plaved."
Now Mr. Sutherland is by nature a very
pessimistic soul and fails it seems to consider
his own eleven, a perennial habit with the gen
tleman. All teams in the nation are srood but.
his. All sorts of materials aie to be found at
other schools but the University of Pittsburch.
Yet his team has not been defeated in the
month of November for over a period of twelve
years. Yet his team is nearly always a con
tender for the national title. Still again his
team, since contracting to play Nebraska for a
new series in 1928. has not lost a single tilt
to the Huskers. This would seem to mitigate
our gullibility of the. somewhat hnaty conclu
sion implied by Mr. Sutherland that the Panth
ers will not be in the very same race.
There i no doubt that the Huskers, with
a squad of eighty men reporting for spring
practice the first day, this year possess won
derful mnterinl. They have most of their ini
tial eleven composed of lettenuen. An experi
enced hnckfield should immeasurably add to
their success. But this year the Huskers play
a Hihedule that is most pretentious. It includes
teams oi reputation from the east, the midwest,
the west and the south. To come thru unde
feated or with a record such as Jock Suther
land predicts for them, will require a supreme
effort upon the part of our coaching staff. Ne
braska grid supporters are eager for success.
We hope they attain that goal.
Highly complimentary was the Panther
Coach's remark regarding Mr. Bible's sporls
manship. No doubt his sentiment expresses
that of many other couches thruout the nation.
That Coach Bible, due to his individual per
sonality, has done much in scheduling these
formidable opponents is almost a foregone con
clusion.
For the coming season his loyal supporters
sincerely hope that the team as a conqueror of
grid-elevens equals its eminence in the field of
sportsmanship.

Lincoln
Symphony Concert.
TO THE EDITOR:
The unusual enthusiasm shown by the au
dience at Monday night's concert given by the
Lincoln Symphony Orchestra was quite justi
fied. This concert, the last of the season for
this organization, was the climax to a period of
steady improvement which began with Mr.
Kucinski's first appearance as its regular con
ductor last fall.
The program opened, pretentiously
enough, with Beethoven's fifth symphony, the
first movement of which was played at a little
slower tempo than that to which we are accus
tomed. This change adds immeasurably to the
forcefulness of the movement. The delicate
melodies and fine shadings were thus enhanced
and made much more effective.
The tranquil second movement was rend
ered with equal finesse. One cannot help wish
ing, however, that the hard, brittle tones which
the woodwinds used in giving forth the theme
could have been softened or modified a little
in the spirit of the work.
The scherzo (third movement), although.
for the most part, well played, seemed to pre
sent great difficulties for the olavers in the
form f intricate rhythms and the demand for
exactitude of ensemble. Here our hitherto un
wavering confidence in the musicianship of Ihe
cello seel ion was somewhat broken down. The
opening theme, which is introduced bv the
cellos and repeated at intervals throughout
the movement, was so unsubstantial, not only
in tone quality, but also in intonation as to
enously impair the rendition of the entire
movement. The finale was given with com
mendable forcefulness. In this, the orchestra
was more than amply bolstered by the brass
section whose irrepressibly zeal, at times,
greatly exceeded the bounds of musical taste.
We are. indeed, trrateful to Mr. Ivnsmski
for having brought to our ears some works
hich are not so familiar to the larie ma ioritv
of Lincoln music lovers.
More familiar to the audience, perhaps,
as the overture to "The Secret of Susanne."
y Wolf-Ferrari, which was the opening num
ber after the intermission. We were creatlv
disappointed in the uppalling lack of precision
which is so necessary (o the effective rendition
1 of a work of this kind.
The lust number on the printed program
was the "Dance of the Hours" from "liio
conda," by Pom-hid I i. Here again the 'cellos
showed improvement over the Beethoven per
formance. They look on the sustained confi
dence and warmth of tone quality which we
have learned to expect from that section. The
first part of the number was carried along
much too ponderously and lacked that buoyant
vitality which we generally associate with a
dance of this kind. During the latter part,
however, the orchestra aroused itself and
played with that brilliance which we expected.
So effective was the final climax that the or
eh est ra was prevailed upon to give two en
chors; an unusual occuranc.e. They were the
"Londonderry Air" and firieg's "Last
Spring." Both were played with a sensitive
tenderness which, in itself, is a tribute to the
conductor's musical understanding.
It is a source of great satisfaction to see
the large percentage of students in the au
diences at Ihese concerts. We believe, how
ever, that there are yet a great many of the
sensitive ones who have not yet realized how
much more a thing of this kind offers than
some forms of entertainment generally in
dulged in. G. K.

County Manager Plan
adoption by Douglas county was declared in
valid by the Nebraska supreme court in a de
cision handed down Monday. Any such at
tempt to concentrate county governmental
powers in a non-elective official was declared
unconstitutional. The vote was 5 to 2, with
Justice Carter writing the majority opinion.
Douglas county had adopted the plan with the
intention of starting the system next year after
the state legislature passed a law in 1933 per
mitting counties to adopt the manager system.
The plan proposed to eliminate all county offi
cials except commissioner, sheriff, attorney
and clerk of district court and place their func
tions in the hands of a county manager ap
pointed by the commissioners and serving an
indefinite term.
a
Right of States
to prohibit the sale of goods made in prisons
outside their borders, regulate intrastate prop
erty of interstate utilities and tax firms en
gaged in inerstate and foreign shipping was
upheld by the United States supreme court in
a unanimous decision it handed down Monday.
In one of its busiest sessions the court refused
to reconsider the TVA decision and dismissed
an attack brought by Governor Talmadge of
Georgia against the since repealed Bankhcad
cotton control act.
Alternative of Quick Peace

tions was placed before Premier Mussolini by
the sanctions committee of the Leapiic of Na

peace efforts do not materialize. A French
statesman emphasized the fact that England
was the only nation that had proposed an oil
sanction.
Italian Peace Hopes
were not aroused, however, by the latest
League proposal. High fascist sources indi
cated that no proposal could be expected from
the committee that Italy would take seriously
in the light of recent victories in Africa. They
further insisted that Italy would not make
peace under sanctions pressure. Another Ital
ian official declared that complete victory on
the East African battlefronts is "in our
hands" and "we will not be satisfied until all
Italian aims are achieved." They will, how

CONTEMPORARY
COMMENT
Probationary Period
Or Practical Joke.
Nocturnal prowlers in the vicinity of the
north campus are being treated to strange
sights. Lights are burning in many of the
fraternity houses far, far into the night. As
one approaches closer, sounus even siumn
thau the siarht of the lmhts trreets one. .tamp
ing feet, queer tribal yells, shrieks of laughter
and hvstena; all these are heard, occasionally
interspersed with the hollow clap of hard
wooden padels shaking hands with freshmen
posteriors.
Then one smiles and understands. It's the
open season on freshmen on the north campus,
and the sky is the limit. Our more tradition
ally minded brethren jokingly refer to the pe
riod as "Hell Week."
Fundamentally, Hell Week is sound. At
least it is as sound as most things on a college
campus. The chief objection to it is the "ex
tent to which it is applied." A period of stress
in which sleep is a forgotten element does not
bring out the true characteristics of a fresh
man. To set up such a standard as judge of
anyone s virility is mane. Ihe ability to ab
sorb a paddle is a queer qualification for
friendship.
A recent trend has been for college au
thorities to correct these by eliminating "Hell
Week." It would be a shame if the benefit
that might be derived from such a period were
to be lost to all because of these abuses. In
telligent fraternity officers will chart their
courses accordingly.
Don't take "Hell "Week" too seriously. It
doesn't prove very much and usually accom
plishes little. If it must continue as it is. take
it for what it is worth ; a practical joke on a
bunch of suckers. Daily Oklahoman.

Nothing is

For 1936 we offer what we
think is the finest car in Ford
history. But no car is ever con
sidered perfect and finished

concerned. Once a year we
introduce new models since
that is the custom but con
stantly we make improve
ments in our car, for that is
cur lifelong habit We don't
wait for Show time to make
a better car.
Proof of this is the present
Ford V- 8. In basic design it is
almost the same as when in
troduced four years ago. But
in performance and economy
there is no comparison be
tween the 1932 and 1936 cars.
Ford engineers do not work
with yearly models in mind.
The Ford Motor Company
does not wait for introductory
dates to incorporate improve
ments. As soon as exhaustive
tests prove that a new mate
rial is better, into production
it goes. When new machining
processes or new inspection
methods are proved superior,
in they go also.
The purchasers get the ad
vantage of all improvements
as soon as we are certain that
they are improvements.
