h Tuesday, 'April 23, 1 940 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Track team faces K-state here today Meet starts Husker catcher. . . Outfielder. . . Tennis quartet at 4 if i same as team m its By June Bierbower. Barney Oldfield'a story from Hollywood the other night revealed how close Nebraska football came to having a part In the movie row being made of Knute Rockne's life. When the scrip's first draft was made, the Husker football team, along with Army's, was considered to be the one to fur nish the defeat that caused Rockne's worry about losing his job at Notre Dame. However, since Army has had a long, unbroken rivalry with the Irish, and since the Husker rivalry with Notre Dame was not of the constant type of the Army, West Toint got the palm. One can't talk about the Husk ers and Notre Dame without dis nissinfr th nossihilit v of the two schools resuming gridiron rela tions. Ijst winter it caused rather a flurry when the Biffer dropped a remark about the two schools getting together sometime. At the same time, it was cor rectly brought out that it couldn't possibly come about for four or five years yet at least, since both schools' schedules are filled that far ahead. Notre Dame's schedule is rather elastic, but the Huskers at pres et would nave a nara unie arop ,imr anv of their opponents, un less said opponents saw fit to drop the Huskers. Onnrhps Lavden and Jones are good friends and both have the highest regards for the other's schools. Final signing of any con tract, however, they both add, is up to the athletic boards of the two schools. Rnth Lnvden and Jones are free of the inane animus which sprung up following the breaking off of athletic relations By JS'oire uame. which may or may not nave Deen istified. It seems, too, max. as time goes on, the two teams' fol lowers are losing some or tne du ter feeling which is still too pre valent, at that, However, there's nobody, friend or foe, who wouldn't like to se the Huskers meet Notre Dame. And maybe when that time comes, if it does, the followers of the two teams will have learned to act their age. Layden, who played against the Huskers, certainly is one of Nebraska's best friendn. And he certainly knows more about just what happened back there a decade and a half ago than do biased partisans of either team. How the Notre Dame athletic board would feel about such a game, we don't know, but we feel pretty euie they'd listen to Elmer. And the Husker athletic board hasnt a deaf ear for the Biffer. We had better stop, though, be fore we have Nebraska and Notre Dame signed to play. They havent, d the game is still very mucn the realms of fancy, although we've attempted to show it could very well be played and you can rest assured, that when the Hugk ers and Notre Dame do get back together, it'll be the game of games a national event. Nebras ka and Notre Dame play that kind of football.
