Sports Kditor Bo" Miller The Saving Grace Above the lobby of the university coliseum ts a room dedicated to the accomplishments of 70 generations of Cornhusker athletes. Rarely visited by most student, this N club room is lined witti scores of trophies bearing testimony to the athletic prowess of former Nebraska teams. Along the south wall of that Bumptiously fur nished apartment one might notice an empty space between two large couches. That empty niche is reserved for a small shabby bell left at Columbia a week ago Saturday after the Cornhuskers bowed to a mightier Tiger team. The bell, itself, is rather unimportant. Weigh ing about 50 pounds it is a good example of a decoration that had seen better days and except for the thought behind the inscription on its stand it would mar the aesthetic appearance of the room. But it is the inscription that saves the trophy and makes it one of the most coveted of the collection. The inscription reads: Tigers- Huskers Who Win and Lose Gloriously Perhaps that sentiment does not mean a lot, but it is the saving grace of the game of football as it is played today. Today, collegiate football is played by more than just the eleven men on the field. Every Sat urday thousands of fans play the game from the stands and beside their radios. Mentally they charge the line, defend the goal, carry the ball and dispute the decisions of the referee. As a re sult it is entirely too easy to think only of winning the game. It is entirely too easy to think only in terms of the honor and reflected glory that can come when the hom. loam chalks up a record re splendent with victories. It is entirely too easy to think only in terms of better schedules and larger crowds, of bigger stadiums and handsomer profits for the sponsoring institutions. And it is entirely too easy to lose sight of the real values of the game. Three weeks ago after the first loss of the sea son to Indiana, members of the actively playing team expressed only admiration for the victorious Hoosiers. Two weeks ago after the second loss of the season to Missouri, members of the actively playing team expressed the opinion that the exhibi tion had provided some of the best football to be seen on any field in the country. And last week after a crushing upset members of the playing team turned out yesterday to prepare for a gruel ing contest with one of the nation's top teams next Saturday. It doesn't make much difference to the mem bers of the actively playing team that the fans in the stands and by the radios are ready to quit after thre? defeats. It doesn't make much differ ence that the experts aren't giving the boys much of a chance to win, for those boys have learned the value of the game. They can have just as good a time whether they win or lose, for they know the secret that saves the game they know how to win and lose gloriously. Morton Margolin. By executive order Sunday night the president transferred the Coast Guard from the Treasury de partment to the Navy. This step comes under ordinary conditions only upon our official entrance into war. The move was not made wit congres sional authorization, however, for C n s gave the president power to do so any time that he saw fit. The major importance of the step and its main significance is that it was made several months ahead of schedule, for it was planned to happen at the first of the year 1942 and not now. It seems that our shipbuilding program is not the only thing ahead of schedule these days. Reports from the Far East give credenc to the fact that Japan is feeling the pinch of no American oil these days, as they are rumored to be ready to offer a compromise to the U. S. The compromise involves three points: (1) U. S. to resume trade with Japan especially regarding oil shipments, (2) ica was the aggressor in the north Atlantic, and Japan in turn to ignore German claims that Amer (3) Japan also to agree not to interfere with U. S., British and Dutch interests in the south Pacific. The importance of the second point is that under her agreement with Germany and Italy, Japan was to enter the war on the side of Germany if any other power (specifically the U. S.) began aggression against Germany. Then if Japan ig nored the German claim that the north Atlantic "shoot on sight" policy of U. S. is aggression, she will not be obliged to enter the war against the U. S. and she still will not be flagrantly violating her axis agreement. The U. S. would be foolish to consider such a proposal which so clearly indicates the critical problem that the Japanese are facing in regard to an oil shortage. At any rate it is not likely that the administration will consider any proposal which does not include a settlement which will benefit China also. Obviously the Japanese proposal is de signed to allow her to give full attention to her aggressin in China and fight with American oil. That situation went on for too long a time anyhow prior to our trade embargo for us to scrap the embargo now that we have had it for so short a time; at least no without some relief for China.

Girls are all right as long as you leave them alone. However, now that the male shortage created by the gone-with-the-draft movement has placed a value on men, the girls don't seem to want to be left alone. Men, what are you doing to ward off women? If you have started carrying a club, or stopped taking baths, or pledged Phi Phi, nothing more can be expected. The following student survey. conducted by your inquiring reporter and ap proved by Bachelors, Inc., gives the opinions of the experts on how to remain free. Jasper Clarke: I don't have to worry because they won't go with me; I study too much. Bill Schaumberg: When they call me up for dates, Mother just tells them that I'm out. Dean Callan and Milt Meyer: We send them Leonard Dunker's picture. Al Busch: I Joe Sonneland: hide. I let on as if I were a wolf. Jack Hogan: I just smile and shake my bead. Refugee Tells Of Conditions On Continent AMES, la. (ACP). "Living con ditions on the European contin ent are even worse than most Americans suspect," says Herbert Kadden, freshman engineering student at Iowa State college. Kadden, a German citizen, was Interned in Belgium when the nazi war machine rolled into the low countries. He later was sent to a concentration camp in south ern France, where he stayed 10 months, refusing to go back to Germany. "Forty thousand refugees of all nations, most of them Spanish Loyalists, lived in one camp," Kad den said. "Altho they suffered from hunger, epidemics and bad treatment from their guards, most internees preferred to stay there rather than return to their to talitarian homelands." When Kadden was liberated he made his way across Spain and was impressed by the extreme poverty and demoralization of the Spanish people, which he declared surpassed anything, he had seen Xn-Mcds Hold Monthly Dinner Meeting at Union "Medical Colleges and Practices in Europe" is the subject on which Dr. Helmut Zineman will speak tomorrow at the monthly dinner meeting of the Nu-Med Club.

The department of tropical med icine at Tulane university school of medicine is becoming one of the most important in the world since most European schools are closed because of the war. Apparently the culinary art is not confined to the females if the number of men baching on ag camnus is any criteria. And ap parently the men are rather fond of the art because last Thursday evening 40 of them banded togeth er in the ag college laboratory ana formed the first official bachelor's club at Nebraska.

Prof. T. H. Goodding, of the agronomy department spoke to the group. Many barb men on both city and Hg campus do their own cooking in order to cut expenses.
