The game, in the eyes of trie na
tion's grid selectors is rated as a
tossup, and some of them are fa
vii ing the Huskers because of the
injuries which have hit the
Panthers. Others are picking Pitt.
Nebraska, after impressive in
tersectional victories over Minne
sota and Baylor, hit a mid-season
slump, losine to Missouri and
barely edging Kansas last week.
However, the Huskers have the
stuff and they know it. It's very
probable they were "saving up
for Pitt" during last week's drab
exhibition against Kansas, and
with the team in good physical
condition, the players are anxious
to boot the Panthers.
Job ahead.
There's a job ahead, though, dc
