DAILY NEBRASKAN
Smell the roses?
"With the radio report that Tennessee and Boston College would he prob
able Sugar Bowl opponents on New Year's day, Nebraska followers took up
the sticks and began beating the drums for a Nebraska Kose Bowl trip last
night, after the no-statement and tongue-in-cheek attitude of university
spokesmen had created a wonderment.
With only Minnesota and Michigan left as perhaps better choices for
the bid, Nebraska fans anxiously await word from the coast Bowl choice,
and after that, from the university speakers who have the final say.
Nebraska students and fans want the bid. Of that, there is not even a
shadow of a doubt. What university administrative officials think about thti
post season possibility, we don't know.
We do know Nebraska is football conscious and we believe a bid to the
Kose Bowl will help this university immeasurably in many ways . . . one of
those ways being to build up prestige and interest in the school in 1 he minds
of thousands of alumni residing in all parts of the country who, until now,
had almost forgotten that there was a university of Nebraska.

G-g-great football game, wasn't
it?
Pardon us, but that sound you
hear isn't Spanish castanets. It's
our teeth still chattering from a
thill afternoon in the stands.
It was so cold three Eskimos
sitting behind us froze to death.
A fellow sitting, next to us kept
rubbing his hands on a cake of
ice to keep them warm. A girl
wearing a sealskin coat found it
missing after the half - the seal
thought he was at the north pole
and went off to look for his mate.
Seriously, though, we did see
three fellows building a fire out
of colored cards, candy bar wrap
pers, and other odd materials. Yes.
it was cold.
The only time we got warm all
afternoon was when we yelled to
a girl we thought we knew and
slapped her on the back. It turned
out to be somebody else and the
stare we got made the weather
seem positively stifling.
The only guys who really kept
warm were the cheer leaders
and some of them weren't so hot
We were grateful tor the yell
squad, though. Every time the cold
started getting us and blackness
began closing over us they'd make
us yell again and our single red
corpuscle would creep through
cur veins.
A row of fellows sittin next to
us kept singing, "California Here
We Come." That's counting your
chickens before they're hatched,
crossing your bridges before you
get to them, and renting your full
dress suit before you get an invi
tation to the party.
Who wants to go to California,
anyway? What have they got out
there - besides beautiful scenery,
sunshine, the Pacific ocean, Is
Angeles, and Carole Lombard?

Jesse Owens greatest athlete
When asked who, in his opinion,
was the greatest all-time athlete,
MeLemore stated that he believed
Jesse Owens, famous Negro run
ner and jumper was probably the
"truest champion" of all time.
"At his peak Owens was never
believed by any of the sports writ
ers to be defeatable by the great
est athletes in his field."
The ambition of the likeable lit
tle columnist is to "never again
write a single word. I'd like to go
where there was no telephone, find
myself a rocking-chair eight feet
deep and just sit," he stated.
As proof of his success in the
field of sports writing, are the
seven or eight hundred newspapers
which carry his columns daily.
Although he does not have the
absolute choice of what events he
must cover, it is more or less up
to him what his beat shall be. "If
I did have the choice as to where
I should go to write my columns,
you'd find me either at Bermuda
or at Honolulu on the beach," he
declared, "writing about the things
that are Hawaiian."
Asked how he dreamed up the
unique ideas which he presents in
his articles, he stated that "you
have to just sit down and think
m up.

or just plain Henry: his wife calls
him by "a thousand names which
are purely private," he stated with
a broad smile.
For the fame which he has
achieved, McLemore is unusually
democratic, putting at ease imme
diately any stranger who ap
proaches him.
"Mack" and his pretty wife are
making a leisurely jaunt across
the continent having left New
York in October. In the past five
weeks he has seen five major foot
ball games, including yesterday's
game.
He will speak at the athletic
banquet in Lincoln Monday night
and will then continue his journey
westward. Present plans indicate
that he will stay over in California
to see the Pose Bowl game, cover
the Santa Anita Handicap in the
early spring, and return to Florida
in April to take in spring baseball

Another obstacle expressed was
the team's own natural weariness
after months of grueling football.
Acceptance would mean extension
of training another month.
The administration's view as to
the effects of an acceptance on
scholarship must also be consid
ered. Rjff Jones has a contract for
coaching the West team in the
East-West game. Whether this
contract would be a certain bar
rier to his coaching a Rose bowl
game was not known. Jones has
coached the East-West game every
year since he came to Nebraska.

but it was reported in the press

They do define
newspapers .
Can you define a newspaper? If
you have trouble, don't worry. Oth
ers find it difficult, too.
Forty-two of the 43 states in the
United States have legal defini
tions, and only two of them agree.
The other six states don't even try
to define.
Dr. Otto Groth. famous German
editor, wrote a 69-page definition.
His work was accepted by some as
the real McCoy, but others found
several things that he had omitted
from his definition!
These are a few of the attempts
at defining a newspaper. And to
think the circulation figures of the
world's newspapers fill books! Just
one of those common things, or
is it?

That Nebraska's football record is the higgest thing tins school has to
boast of will not be the long run result of a Bowl bid acceptance. We're
inclined to think the heightened spirit and pride in this institution will give
all those men and women, who have almost forgotten it, an opening into the
realm of things good that really make up the educational element of this
school.
We're of the opinion that this is one time when football s.iccess will do
the university as a whole a wealth of good. With the clean record of non
subsidization that Nebraska enjoys, the taunts and accusations that usually
accompany praise of a football team will be nil as far as Nebraska football
is concerned. There is no need for investigation and probing here.
Kose Bowl or not, however (by the time this is read the verdict one
way or the other may have been announced), Nebraska is proud of its foot
ball learn. As individuals and as a team, it represents a healthy and vigorous
condition that applies to the whole Nebraska educational setup. Wher, we
arc proud of our football players, we are really proud of our school. If we
didn't have the kind of school we have, we wouldn't have the football team
that represents it.
