And those final seconds of the 15th renewal of this intersectional battle between the Huskers and the Panthers enfold just about the whole story of the difference be tween victory and defeat. What to do? With less than a minute to go the double chalk line only 5 yards away, the Panthers took time out to discuss the problem before them. Here was the setup: The Panthers were trailing 9-7 and had staged a sustained march from their own 47 to the Husker 11 for a first down. Three line plays took the ball to the 5. The last down play with only 25 seconds left in the game re quired some deep thought. So, the Panthers took out time. A five yard penalty was imposed on them for too many time outs. Crashing Clarence. From the Husker 10, the ball was snapped on an attempted fietd goal by Pitt's placekicking end Stahl. From the right side of Nebraska's surging forward wall came a ranging Husker. It was Clarence Herndon, jun ior tackle from Grand Island, who slashed into the Pitt sec ondary and rushed the place ment so fast that the kick was hurried and the ball went wide of the goal posts. And with that boot went Pittsburgh's chances of a win as Harry Hopp froze the ball on the next play that the Huskers ran from scrimmage and the game was over. Placement wins. Recounting the scoring of the game, it came to be that a third quarter field goal by Fullback Vike Francis provided the winning margin. And this placement was (See page 3, col. 3.) Council orders new election; appeal up Two Student Council meetings, one a short but stormy conclave dominated by a turbulent crowd, and the other a quiet gathering with no audience, characterized by hatchet-burying and unified action, resulted Friday afternoon in a de cision to hold a new election for class officers and Prom committee members. Unanimously passed was the motion that due to irregularities in last week's election, a re-election be held Tuesday, Nov. 26.

Adolph Hitler's arrival in Dog patch as presented by the Farm house kept the ACBC from get ting the Coll-Agri cup for keeps in the Coil-Agri-Fun last night at ag campus. However, the ACBC skit, "Radio Book Review" placed second. First among the curtain acts was a girls' trio, "Cory, Seedy, and Cider -The Apple Sisters" by Hackman House. Eiwin Klein's saxophone solos won second in this division. Begins late. Beginning almost a half an hour late, the show finally got under way with a slow-moving skit, "The Widow's Mite." Loomis Hall's presentation, "Loomis Hall Behind the Blind," popped up the evening with a clever shadow play, and Erwln Klein's solos, next on the list, were outstanding. "Dogpatch Saves the World" the Farm house'B winning skit was a hilarious comedy depicting Hitler's arrival in America, at Dogpatch. Iil' Ahner, Indiana, hiU-billies, and Hitler himself helped create the amusing scene In Dogpatch. ACBCs "Radio Book Review" gave a presentation or "Gone With The Wind' entitled "Went With The Breeze." Clever jokes were apparent throughout the skit, but a final crack by "Ma dame LaZonga" failed to appeal, thus giving the play a poor ending.
