Sunday morning I let go with a
verbal barrage to which I shall
stick, regardless of any contrary
opinions. I really didn't give
enough thought to the offensive
line play that was exhibited Sat
urday. Defensively, the line played
par ball, holding Iowa State to
not too many yards from scrim
mage, but offensively, that Corn
husker line let Iowa State line
men pour through it like sun
comes through a skylight on a hot
day in July. Passers and kickers
were rushed so badly that their ef
forts were about as effective as a
firecracker without powder, wick,
or cover.
Nebraska substitutions seemed
to hinder instead of help gain
yardage and confidence. When a
combination of linemen or backs
did seem to shift to high gear, two
or three of them were relieved
from duty, and the machine went
into low again. . .well, the game
Is over, Iowa didn't exactly de
serve to win, but Nebraska didn't
either. . .and that's that.
Cheer leading and school spirit
Saturday were about at the same
level. . .both lousy with ineffective
ness... the one trick Leadley did
try to pull off during the half
flopped because students couldn't
follow the leader, whose actions
and contortions, viewed from the
press box at least, didn't seem
very inspirational. Leaders in front
pot the Nebraska student section
were also Ineffective, even con
sidering the spirit that students
showed. Their motions were all
different, there was little coor
dination. . .some of their hand
movements were short and jerky,
and one in particular distinguished
himself by his long, jerky,
uncoordinated movements which
brought no little laughter from the
crowd.

"Fifty years ago when I
started to college, Mom said,
'Now, Neb, you get one of

your laundry home.' Well, by
gum, I ups and called the
Evan's and I cal'clated it was
cheaper and better to have
the Evan's do it So if your

On this week's first team Ray

Iverson and Leonard Muskin hold

is the center. In the backfield Jack
Dodd, Bill Callihan, Harry Hopp
and Herm Rohrig are slated to
work together.
Added In the worries of Head
man Jones were the storm warn
ings brought back from Hoosier
land by Freshman Coach Lewan
dowski. Statistics show the Hoo
siers to be big, the line averaging
199 pounds and the backfield will
tip the scales at 191. The team
average will be about 195. Lewan
dowski said that even though In
diana was beaten last Saturday
they will have blood in their eyes
when they come here next Saturday.
Cheer Leaders, Student
Body Receive Blame
Noticeable lack of enthusiasm
on the part of students and cheer
leaders Saturday has given rise to
many comments about a situation
which may perhaps be termed as
deplorable. Student enthusiasm, in
spite of sincere efforts of the rally
committee has fallen to a new low,
at least during games. Cheer lead
ing was a topic of student conver
sation which provided an impetus
for asking Btudents just what they
thought of the situation Saturday.
The first person to answer any
questions was a freshman boy who
thought that everything was "O.
K.," the first favorable comment
received from 15 persons interviewed.
Betty Meyer, sophomore, said
that it was almost Impossible to
hear cheer leader's Instructions,
and was backed up by Paul Svo
boda, freshman who commented
that if cheer leaders were allowed
to use the loud speakers, perhaps
results might be obtained. Svoboda
also said "It's the same old stuff
I've seen at all the games. Same
yells, same jumping around, with
results getting worse and worse."
Joe Schwartzman, senior, hit the
situation briefly with his "Do we
have to talk about It 7
"Lousy," was all some of the
persons interviewed would say
about the whole situation.
Three sophomore girls, leaving
the grill room all voiced unani
mous opinions that the head cheer
leaders acted like "animated skel
etons," that the cheer leader lead
ing the knot-holers attracted the
attention of the student section
with his flips and carefree move
ments, that he should have been
in front of the student section
perhaps wearing a white jacket.
Many persons would not lay the
blame to the cheer leaders directly,
outside of the fact that they tried
cheers at the wrong times.
"When the team is behind, the
cheers let up, but when they start
going they (the leaders) start to
work. That's no way to do," one,
who requested his name not be
used, stated.
In general, there were two rea
sons for the decline of pep. The
first and most prevalent was of
course, the student body's failure
to respond to cheers; the second,
the lack of real impetus and really
lively yells, coupled with the de
pepped student section leaders.
With four home games left, 11
cheering continues as it seems to
have been the last two years, by
the Thanksgiving mix, we'll be
able to hear a pin drop in the Stu
dent Union building while were
sitting In the stadium.

Student spirit at Nebraska is at
a low mark. Evn in my criticism
of Nebraska's footballers, I still
don't let them down, so much as
to even lx-t against them if I
think they are in for a loss. They
still represent me when they are
out there on that field. They still
spell Nebraska, whether it means
anything to you or not. If it dosn't,
you're in the wrong place. Buddy.
If it does mean anything at ail,
let's hear some damn boisterous
yelling next Saturday. That team
is going onto the field in an un
derdog position sgsinst Indiana.
They'll need support. . .and there's
only one source from where they
may get it... and that's from you
and me. I'm ready... so how about
the rest of you ?

Scarlet Two-Mile Team
Wins by 26-29 Margin
The first Husker win of the sea
son was chalked up Saturday
morning when Coach Ed Weir's
two mile team edged out the Iowa
State distance men by the nar
row margin of 26 to 29 over the
Memorial stadium track here. It
was also Coach Weir's first meet
oinnA Iia uraa annnlntoil hodil
coach of the Nebraska track and
field teams.
Individual honors went to Llew
ellyn Hughes of the Cyclones who
finished in 10:34. Leading the
Husker attack was Leland Butler,
who was unable to catch Hughes
in a last lap spurt. Jim Knight
and Rcy Walker pulled in with
fourth and fifth places to give the
Nebraskan's the needed edge. Al
Kuper, who had been scheduled to
start for the Huskers, was unable
to run due to a bad cold. John
Brownlee, ace of the squad, has
been out because of ineligibility,
but expects to be back in the foid
by next week, when the Weirmen
meet the Kansas State cross coun

Ames Sees Wild
Victory Night
Iowa State students, at least,
got a kick out of the game Sat
urday. The usual calm of the
Iowa State campus was rudely
interupted Saturday night after
the Cyclones' victory over thi
Cornhuskers, as approximately
3,000 State students celebrated
their first victory in 19 years over
Nebraska.

A smooth functioning A. T. O.
team rolled up a 33-0 score on Zeta
Beta Tau to keep their record cleat
of defeat in League IV. In the
other League IV tilt, the Phi Delts
took a nip and tuck tussle from a

Two games in League V were
scheduled but the Delt Phi Psi

game, the Sig Alpha, paced by Weo
Mills, scored a touchdown in the
second quarter to nip the Chi Phis

n High Hopes
Both Teams to Strive
For Season's First
Victory Saturday
After having been so close to
and yet so far from victory for
the past two years, Bo McMillin's
"pore l'il boys" from Indiana have
their best chance in the series so
far to snatch a victory from the
Cornhusker forces Saturday on
Memorial stadium sod.
In the first game, played in 1936,
Nebraska came from behind to win
a stirring 13 to 9 victory, after
Vern Huffman, Indiana quarter
back, passed, punted and directed
the Hoosiers to a 9 to 0 lead at
the half.
Sam Francis, AH American full
back in 1936, warming the bench
the first half because of injuries
received In the Minnesota game
the week before, took his position
in the Husker lineup and tore the
Indiana line to shreds, ripping off
gains of from 5 to 20 yards at a
try, setting the ball in position for
touchdowns, two of which were
scored to give the Huskera the
first victory in the series.
Dodd Tallies.
Last year, Rabbit Jack "odd
took a shovel pass behind the 'ine
cn the first play of the game and
scooted 65 yards to the only touch
down of the game, handing the
Huskers a 7 to 0 victory. Both
games saw the Hoosiers outdown
ing and outyarding the Huskers,
whose stiff resistance at crucial
moments prevented scores in In
diana's favor.
Both teams have lost two parties
this year without stepping into the
blackside of the books, and both
are out for blood. Indiana has lost
to Ohio State and Illinois, while
the Huskers have dipped colors to
Minnesota and Iowa State. Betting
right now favors Indiana, but
Husker coaches promise a radical
change in the behavior of the
Cornhuskers next Saturday.
