Frigid! Fauns See
Torridl Comeback
By Bob Miller,
Sports Editor.
Memorial Stadium, Nov. 22. This is one story thai it is a
pleasure to write. For five weeks, through five losses, we have
wanted to write that the Huskers won. Now v have the chance.
A driving Huskcr herd trampled a machine-like Iowa U.
eleven into complete submission and then provided the scoring
punch that led to a 14-1:5 victory for the Scarlet and Cream
gridders here today before an estimated 19,000 freezing fans.
Fails to Tell the Story.
That fails to tell the complete story, however. It fails to
tell how the Huskers found themselves behind by l.'l points late
in the third quarter and still maintained enough punch and
fight to pull a win out of the fire.
They were outplayed through most of three quarters, it
was getting colder and victory seemed to be slipping farther
out of their chilly grasp at every tick of the big clock on the
north end of the field.
With four minutes of the third canto gone, the score read,
Iowa, l.'l; Nebraska, 0.
Hawks Were Confident.
The Hawks had just scored on a 24 yard pass and they
were confident. They lined up to kick to Nebraska with a
strong wind blowing from the north and then Captain Hill
Diehl let fly with the wind. The ball carried down to the Ne
braska J -yard line where Dale P.radley, a back who cannot be

Winsome Sonja Henie Talks
To Reporter at Ice Revue
BY MARY ELLEN SIM.
If ever one word can describe
a person, winsome is the word for
Sonja Henie.
Leaning lightly against her
dressing room wall after the ice
revue Friday in the Ak-Sar-Ben
coliseum, Miss Henie, her large
blue eyes emphasized by theatrical
make-up, said, "I've been skating
almost all my life, so that I just
relax and use my muscles un
consciously, I guess."
This was in answer to my ques
tion a rather personal one I
thought atfer I started to write
up my meeting with Miss Henie
"Have you ever been troubled with
enlargement of- the leg muscles
as ballet dancers often are, and if
so, how do you manage to keep
your legs so trim and un-muscular
looking?" She has slim, shapely
Arsenic, Old

Radio Class

Over KFAB
Students Write Scripts,
Cast, Direct, Produce

Students of the radio produc
tion class are preparing a scries

charge of casting, directing and
producing. Leo A. Martin, faculty
member of the speech department,
is in direct charge of the work..
Each program will review cam
pus activities and work in depart

drama and special information
will be provided. Specialties from
organizations and flashes of cam

Selection of the outstanding
campus personality is scheduled

be chosen each week on the basis

legs unmarked by knots of
muscles.
"No, I've never been bothered
by large leg muscles," the cham
pion skater concluded.
"Good ballet dancers aren't.
Neither are good skaters like
"Miss Henie." contributed one of
her companions.
Like a Little Girl.
Miss Henie spoke in a voice
which because of her slight only
very slight accent has almost a
little girl quality and is a charming
compliment to her tiny, young,
Nordic self. At the time I talked
to her, she was dressed in a brown
fur coat thrown California-like
over a brown slack suit, and was
waiting for her friends to join her
after the show.
This was the first, last, and only
question her manager allowed me
to ask. It followed an evening in
which I met four of the most in
teresting and attractive persons I
have even seen a dorman, a busi
ness manager, a brother, and a
celebrity. It came after a $200,
000 theatrical production which
outshone any previous Henie pro
duction. Floating to "Clair de Lune."
Miss Henie, dressed in white,
floated in the silver light in a solo
done to the music of "Clair da
Lune" composed by Claude De
Bussey. Most colorful of the
scenes was the "Isle of the Trade
Winds," a fantasy of the South
Seas. Black-wigged and charcoal
faced, the company danced to
the southern rythms under chang
ing colored lights. Although these
two scenes were only a part of
the three-hour show, they were
probably the most outstanding.
Preceding my introduction to
Miss Henie, William Burke, the
business manager for whom I
searched all during the second act,
said, "You can't have an interview.
After the show is a bad time for
