Nebraska's scarlet-shirted Corn
huskers, 36 strong, entrained for
Minneapolis shortly after the sup
per hour last night to do battle
with Minnesota's Golden horde of
Gophers.
Three coaches, trainer, team
physician and student manager
will accompany the squad to the
Big Ten city.
Amidst a huge sendoff rally,
the Huskers bade goodbye with the
promise of a victory over the Go
phers. Head Coach Biff Jones and
Game-Captain Forrest Behm, sen
ior tackle from Lincoln, gave short
pep speeches.
Coaches Jones, "Link" Lyman
and Glen Presnell, Trainer Elwyn
Dees, and Dr. Earl Deppen will
head the personnel along with Stu
dent Manager "Monk" Meyer.
Gophers favored.
Minnesota, already with a game
under its belt, will be ruled the
favorite in the Saturday classic.
Last week, the Gophers put aside
Washington by a 19-14 score.
An afternoon workout will be
held at 3 p. m. today at the La
fayette club, some 30 miles from
Minneapolis. It is at this coun
try club where the team will
sleep overnight to avoid the city
hub-dub and excitement.
The last Husker workout on Ne
braska soil was finished yesterday
afternoon after more dummy
scrimmages. Squad members prac
ticed without shoulder pads and
reviewed Minnesota plays again.

Minnesota will hold a definite
weight advantage over Nebraska.
Gopher George Frank, 9.7 man in
a track suit, will be the fastest
gridder on the field. Only Guard
George Abel can come anywhere
near Franck in speed to bolster the
Husker cause.
According to the Gopher weight
chart, Team One would average

Robbery at Chi
Omega nets'
thief 50 dollars
Nearly fifty dollars in cash and
one check were taken from the
Chi Omega sorority house WecU
nesday during the dinner hour.
Largest portion of the money
was taken from Mrs. Clara Prouty,
house mother. Amounts of ten
and five dollars were taken from
several girls.
Two of the girls were planning
on using the money to make the
trip to Minnesota. When Sergeant
Regler of the campus police and
several officers from the city force
came in the house to investigate,
they had girls in housecoats and
other stages of dress fleeing be
fore them. Nothing other than
money has been missed. Mrs,
Prouty said that the loss was not
covered and that there seemed lit
tle chance of recovering the money
since there was no clue as to the
identity of the marauder nor any
means of identifying the money
Qther than the check.
