A few neglected studies will now be caught up but maybe once a week this corner will spring back into print again for a few words which I would like to get off my chest. Great athletic year Well, it has been fun while it lasted. Recalling the Nebras ka athletic ventures, it has been indent a truly great year thus far for Cornhusker sports. Nothing greater could come to the football team (unless a national championship) and its subsequent Rose Howl game. The basketball team arose from its doldrums and became a front runner.

I'll tell you how we did it It waa back In 1907 and a coach from Dartmouth ?ame out to speak to us at Lincoln. I was student manager. When he got thru talking we asked him what the difference was between Nebraska foot ball and the kind they played out East. The only difference LVANBUSURK reporting to was that in the East they had players who learned to play football in Coaches Knight and John McDer- lines for the re mainder of the season. Coach Wilbur Knight will have only six veterans on which to rely now. Fresh man basebauers are nigh school, while out here in the West they started in college and four years wasn't enough. --iwl.irliiHi'il in mott.

We don't have to do it anymore. We raised $65,000 and we organized a high school footfall league. I found three guys to coach j the high school teams for $500. Beatrice and Fairfield and Blanktown.
