THE DAILY NEBRAS5TAN

By Jim Evinger
There's a little bald-headed gentleman down Austin, Texas
way to whom the Nebraska Cornhuskers will have to doff their
collective hemlets. . .He is none other than Dana Xenophon
Bible, former Husker football head mentor. . .
The first of last week, the Big: Bowl talk all centered around
Stanford university and the Texas Aggies... On the "second
Thanksgiving" day last Thursday, the Texas Longhorns of Bi
ble's rolled up a 7 to 0 upset over the favored Cadets of Texas

Dim X. Bibl.
Journal.
And with that blowup down went
the Rose Bowl
hopes of thu
Aggies and up
went the hopes
of Huskers sky
rocket Ing to
the very heav
ens. ..Bible
couldn't send a
C o rnhu sker
team to the
Rose Bowl dur
ing his tenure
of office here,
but was a big
factor in- send
ing the Husk
ers to Pasa
dena for a lit
tle get together
with the Indians of Stanford on
the first day of 1941...
Other probable teams entering
bowls on New Year's day will be
Tennessee and Boston Coltege in
the Sugar Bowl at New Orleans;
Mississippi State and either
Georgetown or Penn State in the
Orange Bowl at Miami; Texas
Aggies versus Fordnam in the
Cotton Bowl at Dallas, and Ari
zona State (Tempe Teachers)
against Western Reserve in the
Sun Bowl at El Paso, Texas...
Nebraska's success in the Big
Six conference this year has been
remarkable . . . Only three touch
downs and one safety have been
scored upon the Huskers in con
f erece competition ...Missouri
scored once on a pass, Iowa State
romped over the Scarlet goalline
twice and the University of Kan
sas caught Harry Hopp in his own
end zone for safety...
In the Big Six, there is an all
around championship which goes
to the team that has the best rec
ord in all sports... The Huskers
have a big fead In this race so far
...The Husker harriers took first
last month at Columbia, Mo., to
start the Cornhuskers off and now
the footballers add the grid crown
to the title pole. . .
A few unsung men on the Ne
braska Corn
husker's coach
ing staff are
assistants Har
old W. Browne
and Adolf J.
L e wandowski
...This pair
has done excel
1 e n t coaching
and scouting
t h r u o u t the
season and has
given the Corn
huskers a good
look at foreign
plays previous
to the Satur
days the Scar
let battles the opponents
Hear down that California way
localers are claiming that the Cali
fornia sun is so fierce that the
cows are sun-ta n n e d. . . A n d
they're even giving chocolate
milk! 1 1
They're always crowing about
their land of sunshine, but remem
ber that the East or even the Mid
dlewest has the natural right and
privilege to crow first and loudest
...It's our roosters that see and
greet the morning sun long be
fore those in California have
shifted legs on the roost

BY JOHN McDERMOTT.
In 1902 a great Michigan team
journeyed to southern California
to play Stanford university in an
intersectional game. Michigan trod
on her hosts, 49-0, but in that his
toric game the annual Tournament
of Roses was born. This game was
merely a trial venture, and altho
it proved unsuccessful at the time,
it paved the way for the modern
Tournament of Roses.
In 1916 the Tovmament of
Roses committee, composed of
civic minded southern Californians,
decided that the time was ripe for
an annual celebration to welcome
the New Year, and a football game
between the best team on the
west coast and an outstanding
team from some other part of the
country would be the climax to
the event. In that year Brown
university travelled west to meet
Washington State, the latter win
ning, 14-0.
Service teams in 1918-19.
In 1918 and 1919, war years,
there were four seivice teams par
ticipating in the Rose Bowl. In
1920 two college teams were again
selected, and the event has been
held annually ever since.
In connection with the celebra
tion, there begins early on New
Years morning a huge parade.
Communities and organizations of
lower California construct huge
floats and displays, decorating
them elaborately with flowers of
all colors and varieties. All of the
floats entered in the parade, which
oftentimes reaches for 15 miles,
compete for the grand cash prize
offered by the Tournament of
Roses committee.
The parade is truly one of the
greatest spectacles of color and
beauty presented in the country,
and thousands of eager spectators
crowd the parade route in Los
Angeles and surrounding suburbs
to view the floral covered floats
depicting fairyland characters and
other famous story book figures.
26 Rose Bowl games.
There have been 26 Rose Bowl
games to date, and all of them
have been intersectional contests
except the service game in 1918.
The record reveals that west coast
teams have won 12 games, lost 10,
and have tied in two games.
Teams from the state of California
have played in 18 of the contests
and have won 10 games, losing 6
and tieing two.
