What You Will Find Here-
Today, the Lincoln Junior Chamber of Commerce, in the
interests of the University Athletic department, honor you as
the Cornhusker state's outstanding teachers and pupils of
'America's greatest pageantry footbal. The DAILY, assisted by
members of Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalism fraternity,
attempts to further these interests in this a special edition
dedicated to the subtle idea of acquainting you with the Uni
versity and Lincoln's two collegiate footbal organizations and
plants.
The annual pageantry, except for a few post-seasonn
games, is completed for another year. Stadiums which repre
sent millions in concrete and steel, which held millions in
cheering and riotous enthusiasm, stand idle for another ten
months. The American public, upon whom this "sport of
sports" has a great influence for relaxation, recreation, and
"letting off steam," enjoy the pleasant hangover by reading
and hearing a multitude of choices for mythical "best" teams.
Players, all of whom love their game, bask in the spotlight
of honors for remarkable ability, prowess, and sportsmanship ;
or look with proud envy upon their teammates being singled
out by sports writers and sports casters; and nurse injuries
some slight, others permanent which are apt to come with
any sport or any undertaking in life. Coaches turn to future
schedules, new systems and plans, and another sport. With no
mention of subsidization or commercialism, we say that is
football football as only we Americans can know and en
joy it.
Nebraska, as you probably already know, is no exception.
It. is one of the outstanding schools in the country in the realm
of the gridiron. It has produced winning teams most consis
tently. That's what counts. Its outstanding performances this
year place it high in the field of nation-wide competition. Its
contributions to the professional game and the coaching pro
fusion have been ereater than those of any institution in the
country. Her athletic plant, although far from being complete,
ia Mmnsive. well developed, and offers the best of opportunities
to those who choose recreation in sport. And you are here today
to see and hear of these virtues.
It is imperative that Nebraska have a good football team.
The citizens of this state and its surrounding neighbors are
a part of the American public crazed with the spirit and color
of the sport. It would be unwise for us not to take advantage
of that spirit. Our teams draw big crowds. Large attendance
figures mean monney, which spent as luxury, rightly bolsters
a part of an educational institution of a drouth-riddled state.
We need a good team because we are judged as an institution
by that same public on the merits and accomplishments of
that team. Let the Husker gridiron grow tall with weeds, the
stadium crumble with inactivity, and you let the university s
name drop from the nation's tongue. Nebraska has but one
press agent football its players the traveling ambassadors
of publicity for Chancellor Boucher's establishment. We make
the best of it because, yet at least, that's the most we have
n ritfur
V nro disrmirnucd bv the knowledge that the university
does not rank high scholaslieally, And wo are not unfortunate,
little the University of Chicago, in having our reputation as an
educational institution face derision because our students show
greater skill in the classroom than on the football field. 1 ara
doxically enough, we argue that football or winning teams pro
vide the needed incentive for thousands to attend our schools,
hn wa mil attention to overcrowded classrooms, under-
rnid professors, and need for a greater budget to accomodate

The puzzle, what is love, is as
old as man. It seems as if every so
called intelligent soul at sometime
or another attempts to define this
state of heavenly being. Some say
it's heavenly but there is usually
hell to pay after it is all over.
Confucius once said that love
is a gross exaggeration between
one person and everybody else.
I should say that love is the feel
ing that you feel when you feel
that you are going to have a feel
ing that you have never felt be
fore. As for how love is put into being
I can say only this. It seems that
love at first sight has given away
to love at every opportunity.
Nowadays a girl loves a man
and then decides why.
But it's potent stuff. Put two
people in a room, one with a tooth
ache and the other in love, and the
one with the toothache will go to
sleep first
Some say that love is blind but
there seems to be plenty of people
who are willing to make spectacles
of themselves for it.
If it is blind, maybe It is so to
give the homely folks a chance.

(Little did we realize at the time we
snrayed our formal fashion edition with a
perfumed concoction that we were being
"revolutionary" In publications work. A
national clipping service reports a story
concerning our efforts appeared In more
than 170 papers thruout the country.)
Said Editor and Publisher In its
Dec 2 edition:
"A 'fashion edition of the Daily
Nebraskan, student newspaper at
the University of Nebraska,
'smelled' heavenly when it came
off the press, Nov. 24.
"The editorial staff sprayed each
paper with a mixture of perfume,
rosewater and rum."
Said the Washington (D. C.)
Evening Star In an editorial dated
Nov. 29:
Those who complain that jour
nalism has failed to advance with
the times should consider the case
of the Daily Nebraskan, student
paper of the University of Ne
braska. This periodical is not
stagnant; it is fragrant. The staff,
faced with the task of getting out
a fashion edition, added a touch of
realism by concocting a mixture
of perfume and rosewater to spray
on each copy as it came off the
press. In order to hold the he
man subscribers it was also de
cided at an editorial conference
to include a dash of rum; and
when this was done and it a p.
peared on the campus, the entire
edition became the first and only
genuine three-scent paper in the
country.
Other publishers are waiting to
see what happens. Will advertis
ers turn up their noses and sniff
at the Daily Nebraskan, claiming
that confidentially it smells, or
will they take a chance and try
out four-column, three-odor cuts
appealing to the eyes, pocketbooka
and nostrils of the buying public 7.
Will late-working employes of the
paper, arriving home around
dawn, get away with it when they
tell their wiyes that that was no
lady they were out with last night,
it was the verbena edition? These
and other peculiar problems must
be painstakingly pondered before
prudent publishers will lay them
selves open to a charge of frag-rancy.

The question, Resolved: "That
we approve of subsidized sports
for schools and colleges," was
ably discussed by the seven speak
ers: Blackstone, Walcott, Joseph
McDermott and Paul Crounce for
the affirmative; Douglass, Melvin
Bresee and Eugene Bradley for the
negative.
Blackstone said that football is
not a regular college sport be
cause "only those who don't need
it play" and that players should
receive payment for thl work and
danger involved.
Judge material, speaking.
Discussion revolved around the
value of football to a college.
Judging was on the basis of ma
terial and speaking. Each man
competed against all others.
The debate was sponsored by
Delta Sigma Rho, national foren
sic society. The judges were H. W.
Biederman of the Nebraska Farm
er; Bernard Gradwohl, attorney at
law; and Harold Soderlund of the
Lincoln Telephone company. H. A.
White was in charge of the debate.

the rapid increase of those pursuing a higher education. But
football seems our only present salvation. .We must make the
most or it.
Nebraska prides itself on having complete teams composed
of young men who nil come from the Cornhusker state. And as
plnycrs who will graduate from high school soon, and as coaches
whose influence is generally recognized, you are being shown
uincoin, as two collegiate teams and plants.
Putting- it plainly, you will find no subsidization of even
the best players at Nebraska. As outstanding players, how
ever, you should have little difficulty in obtaining a means of
partial self-support while attending school, if needed. You
will find none of its representatives calling at your door with
propositions. You will find an institution that forgets high
school accomplishments quickly and sets you down in a new
world with new goals. You will find an institution whose
young minds are unified by its most important sport. You
will find an institution in which the head coach receives a
greater salary than the chancellor. You will find an institu
tion where football is the symbol of the Cornhusker land.
