Not Remember
ut Columbia-Stanford in '33
By Shavenau Glick
(Daily Calif ornian.)
Already the drums have started bcatiiig out the rhythm of
Nebraska to stir up the football-minded of the Facific Coast.
Each year at this time the newspaper boys begin to grind
out their background about the Eastern team in Pasadena's
Rose Bowl classic. This season Stanford has pulled its old
trick of inviting some virtually unsung eleven as its opponent
in the New Year's game. This makes the job a little tougher,
but it can be done,
The formula tma year win be
much the same as back in 1933
when Stanford Invited Columbia
to to the bowl after the Lions had
been beaten badly. This year it's
Nebraska with a 13-7 defeat at
Minnesota's hands. Usually the
old cry and hue about two unde
feated, powerhouse teams sparked
--"Cp numerous All-Americans is all
! that is needed to create the spark
that makes a million people
clamor for the 94,000 tickets which
fill the Bowl.
Can you do it?
Stop and think, could you name
even a single member of the Ne
braska (team before they received
the invitation this year? We'll
wager in most cases Ni! But al
ready you've been hearing about
Coach Biff Jones' "twin halfback,"
Herman Rohrig and Harry Hopp.
You've read how the Nebraska
team is "home grown" and how all
the players work their way
through the Cornhusker institu
tion how the team is composed
of nearly all seniors, real Nebras
ka athletes and how they come to
school to get an education. Then
you learn that the Nebraskans are
three deep in every position and
will wear the poor little Indians
to death.
That's a lot of dough.
And if you read on, you'll hear
how school was closed at Nebras
ka and giant rallies were held
ten the bowl invitation was ac
. Jfepted. What school wouldn't de-
clare a holiday for $120,000, the
V visitors' share from the Rose Bowl
split?
Yes, you'll read all this, and
more. By game time, anybody who
can't rattle off the Nebraska start
ing lineup, with weights, ages and
finch-notices of the team, won't be
considered a true football fan.
. Remember the Lions?
jijLr But perhaps all this will be a
rood thing for the game. For once
Vain the Indians from Stanford
rave delved deep into the national
rankings for their Rose Bowl rival.
This annual propaganda wave will
make thor,o people who lobbied for
Boston College forget that the Ea
gles haven't lost a game; it'll act
as a tonic for those who stormed
when the Indians overlooked
Texas A. & M. merely because of
a fluke defeat at Austin; and it
will cover up the importance of
the Sugar Bowl game which has
two of the nation's four major un
defeated, untied elevens.
But don't forget what happened
when the Vol Boys laughed their
way into the game with Columbia,
only to have the New Yorkers
walk off with a 7-0 victory.

Elsewhere on the sports page is
a story dating from Berkeley,
Calif., by a writer in the Daily
Calif ornian. He asks his readers
to recall how back in 1933, Stan
ford went far down the list of na
tional ranking teams and came up
with Columbia.
The California writer seems to
think that this may be the year
for the underdog (Nebraska) to
pull the same stunt the Nlttany
Lions pulled on the Indians when
they upset the Cardinal applecart
and came up with a 7-0 upset win
over the men from Palo Alto.
Could be.
It will sure be grand to watch
the Nebraska band perform in the
Tournament of Roses parade and
in the Pasadena bowl on New
Year's day. What an impression
this 100-strong group will make on
the California natives.
Heading the list of sports upsets
of the year is the "fifth down"
defeat of Cornell by Dartmouth in
a poll conducted by some ofthe
nation's leading sports editors.
The rise of Stanford rated a tie
for third while far down the list
came the act of accepting the
Rose Bowl bid by the Huskers
after 12 years of opposition to
post-season football games.

Indirect build-up of
Huskers after Sooner
Santa Clara ball game
Although Oklahoma lost to the
Santa Clara Broncos, 33-13 on
Nov. 30, the playing of the Soon
ers out there on the west coast
caused Californians to raise their
eyebrows in wonderment.
The Sooners put on such a battle
the first half of the game in San
Francisco's Kezar stadium to tie
the Broncs 13-13 that a writer
in the San Francisco Chronicle
wrote, "Oklahoma gave Santa
Clara a manhandling the like of
which no team of Buck Shaw's
ever has received.
"At the end of that period the
7,000 fans who turned out for this
intersectional, were wondering
what kind of football was being
played in the Big Six if this Okla
homa team could finish no better
than second. . .
Good for awhile.
"When the teams left the field
at theTialf tied 13-13, it was ob
vious that a Santa Clara victory
was only a matter of time. The
Sooners were plenty tired and their
reserves weren't equal to their
first team which was very, very
good while it lasted. '
A San Francisco Call-Bulletin
writer Baid, "Those giants of
tackles and guards, who weighed
over 210 pounds each the four of
em apparently tired under their
own size and weight... for after
a great first quarter they seemed
to be breaking apart with every
play... The Broncos use the two'
unit system. And fresh opposiition
and plenty of it may have been
the answer, to the Broncs big score
over the visitors."
In other words, this is round
about way of building up the Big
Six and Nebraska; tearing down
Stanford by de-emphasizing Santa
Clara's showing. The Indians
played the Broncos earlier in the
priation to replace the 30-year
old gym now at the Wildcat
school . . .

once or twice deeply too.
