of Gopher game; brisk
workout set for today
Nebraska's varsity took a well
tamed rest yesterday afternoon
after their great victory over Min
nesota last Saturday. The team,
however did view the pictures of
Saturday's game. Following the
Bhowing of the pictures, the squad
went thru a light workout, lim
bering up and running a few plays.
Iowa State is the next Husker
foe, and the Iowans suffered a 14
to 0 defeat at the hands of Kansas
U. at Lawrence. However the
Staters are no slouches and the
Huskers will begin to prep for
them this afternoon. Coach Biff
Jones expects to give the Huskers
brisk workouts today, Wednesday
and Thursday. He will also en
deavor to keep the Huskers from
the let down that often comes
after such a great victory.
Jones first.
Coach Biff Jones has the honor
of being the first Husekr coach
ever to beat Minnesota twice. Ne
braska scored a major upset over
the Gophers in 1937, the Biffer's
first year at Nebraska.
Oklahoma thrashed Northwest
ern at Evanston 23 to 0, Kansas
State beat Marquette by 3 to 0,
while Missouri suffered a 19 to 0
loss from Ohio State at Columbus.
The Oklahoma-Nebraska game
to be played at Memorial stadium
promises to be a thriller. The two
teams meet Nov. 25, but specula
tion is being made already as to
the outcome. Oklahoma really up
set the dope in dishing out a 23 to
0 loss to Northwestern. It looks
like a Big Six natural, if both
teams keep up their early season
pace.
Huskers stick to ground
The Huskers who were expected
to fill the air with flying footballs
used only one pass against the Go
phers, it being good for three
yards. Nebraska completely sur
prised with their superior running
attack, and it loks like the offense
will be plenty tough to cope with
Their passes were working great
in the last half of the Indian game.
and if necessary they can use that
form of attack again.
Biffs birthday
a happy one
after Husker win
Biff Jones' 44th birthday was a
lot happier than his birthday a
year ago. The Biffer was 44 years
old Sunday, the day after his foot
ball team upset Minnesota, and it
was the best '
birthday pres
ent for which
he could have
hoped.
Last year,
tho, the Husk
ers played on
Oct. 8 (the
day), and lost
to Iowa State 8
to 7 in their
game here. To
make this year s
present better
yet, the Husk
ers now have a
job of getting
revenge for last
year's loss to
Iowa State when

Mr. Norman Ott, advertising
manager of the telephone com

had no intention of letting ihe
public in on his pastime until 1937.
In the meantime he had found
other collectors of rare Ncbras
kana and, combining his efforts
with theirs, formed the first dis
play. It attracted a lot of atten
tion but not nearly so much as
has the one now in the windows.
Reached peak,
"I really think we've reached
the peak this year," Mr. Ott said.
"Saturday I saw people standing
three d-ep around the building.
It looked like a display at the

was made by Miss Adah Tucker,

as the Sig Alphs, led Dy tsui
Schock, rallied to beat the AGR's
14-13 in the feature game of the
day, the only game in League one.
The AGR s piled up a 13-0 lead,
but Bill Wellinger threw two
touchdown passes to Schock to
score the touchdowns, and the
same Schock made both extra
points to put the Sig Alphs out
in front.
Sigma Nu's win.
In League two games, the Sig

downs during an extra period, and
the PiKA's won in the same way

time with the SAM's, garnering
two touchdowns and an extra
point to win 13-0.

by June Bierbower
Biffer the Jones killed two birds
with one pebble Saturday as the
Huskers put down the Gophers.
First, the windy boys had been
griping because the Huskers had
no offense, and because they had
to revert to luck to do most of
their scorine. Well the Huskers'
ground game against Minnesota
isn't to be sneezed at, especially
when you remember that the
Huskers had to throw only one
pass, and that a little three yard
er which was complete early in
the game.
Secondly, some of the know-it
alls griped last year because
Biff ran in "too many subs." But
we'd like to know what would
have happened Saturday had
Biff had only 11 instead of 24
capable men to use. And one big
reason th;t he had those 24 was
because he let them play last
year instead of ride the bench.
Said gripers are probably notic
ing, too, that the "second" team
did the scoring Saturday.
And for the first time in a long
time, Nebraska was taking the
play away from a high ranking
team. Usually the Huskers would
punt on first down, let their line
be outcharged. and depend on luck
to score, but Saturday they were
kc ,ing hold of the ball, and beat
ing the Gophers to their own
power game.
Oklahoma played some heads
up ball Saturday, and it looks now
as tho that 7-7 tie SMU got with
the Sooners was due to a little
luck on the Mustangs' part. That
Sooner-Nebraska game here on
the last Saturday of the season,
ought to be the game of games
and don't think the Huskers don't
want to win that one.
As a reward for the brilliant
coaching performance he turned
in Saturday, Major "Biff" Jones
has a new job. He has been
named official head advisor to
the DAILY'S coaching staff for
the coming battle with the Year
bookies Friday. We're sure that
Biff will feel honored and we
can't think of a thing that would
be more fitting as a tribute to a
coach who has ' d two victories
over Minnesota in the last three
years.
