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.

Huskers' first duel
meet out-of-doors set
for this afternoon
By Jim Evinger.
Weather permitting, Nebraska
will engage Kansas State in a dual
track meet Tuesdayv afternoon in
the stadium. The rain Monday set
the track in good condition, but
further moisture today would halt
the proceedings.
The Aggies will be the Corn
huskers' first outdoor dual oppo
nent this season, while K. State
has already appeared in a spring
dual contest, that being with Mis
souri. The Tigers won by 68 xk to

and Albeit Lunt of Superior in the

Littler runs 440
in :47.2; Brooks
does fast 880
Eugene "Red" Littler, Husker
sprint star, ran the 440 in the uni
versity sprint medley relay in :47.2
at the Kansas Relays.
He was leadoff man for the
Huskers, and turned the distance
in five-tenths of a second better
than the Big Six record set by
Bob Simmons of Nebraska last
year. Several watches caught him
in 47 seconds even. ,
Harold Brooks, who ran the an
chor position on the sprint medley
team, did the half mile in 1:54.8,
but he got off to a running start.
Both times are better than any
Husker athlete haa ever turned
in.
LitUer's time of :47.2 was the
fastest turned in by any college
quartermiler in the country this
year, although Clyde Jeffrey, Stan
ford sprinter, has a mark of :47.3.
Jeffrey, though, had a running
start, as he was anchor man of
the Stanford relay team which re
cently set a new mile record.
