On and Oft,
Mostly Off
Nebri-v'a's football team hit a new low in de
feats I'M unlay when Mizzou's Tigers passed and
flashed" their way to a Homecoming victory, wrest
ing away the Hunker-Tiger victory bell and the
l em mints of Big Six glory that was once Nebraska's.
But it was a thrilling see-saw contest to witness,
despite the fact that the Huskers wound up on the
t licit end of .he score. Marv Plock's field goal con
version a. Herm Rohrig's 96 yard kickoff return
were well worth the chips for the old grads. Many
of them were griping because it was not a Husker
victoiy. but those who follow the Cornhusker for
tunes more keenly realized the two problems Ne
luiisKS is meeting up with this season:
1. A green '.-.am of spirited sophomores.
- 2. Big Six israls of higher strength.
Mizzou attests to the latter problem. This year
Vclongs to the Big Six, not Nebraska, because it is
Oklahoma, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State and
Missouri who have the advantages of more experi
enced men and i stronger reserve power. The llusk

Interesting' to note lliis weekend was the Kansas
victory over Kansas State. The K-Staters beat Indi
ana, whom the Huskers held to a scoreless tie, and
the Jayhawkers are the Cornhuskers' hosts this
coining weekend at Lawrence. Remember when
the giimes with the Kansas schools were mere Big

Boys probably are not in the very best of humor.
The Huskers played their best game of the season
for the Homecoming crowd, but this unerring Paul
Christman with his superior display of forward pass
ing nullified the Huskers' best as not good enough.
That is what makes football.
The future? It certainly appears dark and
gloomy for the Huskers, but the cause is not en
tirely lost. Granted, the Big Six championship is
lost to Nebraska. For once, can't we be big about
it? Haven't we worn the laurel wreath until it
has become a taken-for-granted honor and one not
fully appreciated? Nebraska's three conference
losses should be the best thing in the world for the
Big Six in making the circuit come to life.

Instance, the University of Nebraska football team.
We want victories just as badly as any one else.
But we are reconciled easily to our present fate.
We hold no brief against Coach Biff Jones and the
team, realizing full well they are giving their all.
We hope we do not sound pollyannish in our out
look. We think we are mirroring the view of the
great majority of Nebraska students to whom
faith, spirit and tradition continue to mean some
thing. We hope we are not wrong.

Yearbook Pantywaists
Kridnv afternoon the famous
Daily Nebraskan football team
passed superbly, caught passes
with dexterity, blocked with pre
cision, kicked like a Scotchman
who has been overcharged, ran
with the speed and baffling change
of pace of jackrabbits, yielded a
net gain of one yard to the oppo
sition and played an all around su
perb game. The Cornhusker year
book team also put eleven players
on the field. The score, so poster-
! ity may know, was 13 to 0 in
favor of the "Rag."
j The difference between the two
was much greater than that, how
ever. Whenever the "Rag" had the
ball, the yearbook backs backed up
play found the sorely out of cond1
tion yearbookies panting and
wheezing like a fat man climbing
three flights of stairs.
Dirt Throwers.
Offsides and backfield in motion
were the favorite plays of the
Corny husker team and they relied
on them for all their yardage.
Then, when they relied on them
and they didn't come thru, they
simply lied on them and resorted
to such tricks as only demons re
sort to dirt throwing in faces.
DeWolf and Nieman caught
touchdown passes but any man on
the "Rag"' team could have made
a touchdown at any time. The
score was generously held down so
as not to make the Cornyhuker
team look as bad as it was and
so they will not be afraid to play
Now. it chanced to be a thriller.
And the boys had occasion to
stomp and whistle and even shout.
At the height of their demonstra
tion, they were interrupted by a
light tap on their respective
shoulders. Turning around, they
found themselves confronted by
the beaming countenance of a jolly
policeman.

"May I," he murmured, "see
your ticket stubs?"
"Oh," they shrugged as one.

told their story, and chuckled as
the kind officer turned in a. call to
headquarters. "Hch! Heh!" each
chuckled inwardly, 'Vo he think
he can blutf us, does he?"
Even when the prow car ar
rived, they failed to see the affair
in a serious light. "What have
we here? Rear entrance boys, eh?
Well, it's a nice night," chartled
one of the new ai rivals; to which
the quirk collegiate quip snapped
back. "Yeah, out."
"Get in."
Almost a Convict.
Things suddenly became serious.
What would pr:pa say? My name
on the police records? Whew! All
the way to the station the kids
stewed in their own grease. Boys!
How do we lie out of this one?
At the station, nil was bedlam.
In a corral were a flock of young
sters, several years younger even
than our boys. Incarcerated for
throwing tomatoes, they were hav
ing a whee of a time making life
miserable for their jailors.
