Intent is the word that ably de
scribes the mental attitude In the
Cornhusker camp this week as
preparations for the final battle of
the year with the Sooners of Okla
homa progresses with fervor.
Yes, the Huskers are intent on
whipping the Sooners and any
word about the Sooners that is
passed on in the dressing room is

players alike. Word from the Ok

of cleaning the Huskers as the
Huskers are of making them eat

The dinner will begin at 6 o'clock
Tuesday night, and the hanging of
the Greens will follow immediately.
Dinner guests put up the greens
while the Vesper Choir sings car

This traditional dinner has come
to be regarded as one of the most
beautiful ceremonies on the
campus.
During the early summer of
each year delegates from the mid
west attend a conference at Estes
park. Because this Estes confer
ence has come to have a very
dear place in the heart of every

'Good Luck'
As Theme
"Good luck" will be the central
theme of the band's last football
game performance of the year
when it marches onto the field at
the half of the Oklahoma game

sent some music at that time.
The marching unit will lead off
by forming a horse shoe in the
center of the field. Leaving hats
on the ground, the band will then
form a four leaf clover within the
horseshoe outline. In this forma
tion, a trumpet trio composed of
Bob Krejci, Bob Westfall and Art
Anderson will play a concert num
ber. Since about 40 of the bana
members will be home for Thanks
