Only A Start . . .
Nebraska's homecoming is officially over,
but the effort made by the organized groups
on the campus in the scrap drive will remain
for some lime. The scrap collected will also
remain not just as a memory but in a short
time will be made into lite necessary essential
material for the all out war in which this coun
try is now engaged.
When a homecoming can arouse the spirit
that was evident on this campus for the past
four days and also produce tangible results in
the form of 150 tons of scrap, that homecoming
is well worth the time and work. Further evi
dence of the success of the scrap drive was
produced at the homecoming party last night
V'hen telegrams from Donald M. Nelson of the
war production board and Governor Dwight
Oris wold were read.
"Scrap" was the slogan of the football
team as well as the homecoming yesterday
when they made a not too bad showing against
Indiana's powerful team. (Note to Fred Ware
who says we baby our team). Whether Fred
Ware knows it or not, the student body fol
lows the football squad thru win or loose and
we are plenty proud of them in either case.
School spirit is something which a defeat can
on v dampen and not entirely put out.
For some of us who have been in this uni
versity for four years, the homecoming spirit
shown this week-end outshone even the 'Rose
Bowl enthusiasm. Our job should be to uphold
that spirit for the whole year and find new
worthwhile war projects to carry out in the
Same manner.

I'm not a big shot
No
Not an official.
But I want to help
So listen:
With cars going out,
And bikes coming in,
Why not make the right pants leg
Three quarters length
And put the cuff
Back on the left one.
Huh?

'S MATTER?
By Carton Broclcrick
i
Well, Callic and me went to the football
game yesterday. Boy, was that ever a game.
At the half there was a side-show and the
game was a three ring circus with somebody
named "llillol'beans" as the ringleader. He
sure was right in there pitching all the time.
He looked just like I did when 1 played on the
Binkvillc team back home in high school. 1
really used to wow the local crowds with my
playing.
Anyway, this " 11 illof beans" from Indiana
was sorta celebrating today, I gifess, Vausc 1
heard after the game that he was giving this
game instead of a diamond to some babe back
in Indiana on the Wabash. I guess winning
the game was just like giving a girl a diamond.
Lots cheaper, too.
Well, I want to tell you something about
this side-show at the half. Boy, that was the
nuts. The "Cement Boreds" and the 'Tur
itans" were out in full circus regalia, and
boy, did they strut their stuff. Then the in
significant Corn Cobs and Tassels followed
behind these self-made robed creatures and
finally sonic babe is carted onto the field in a
replica of the Roman chariot. It was the nuts,
I'm tell in' you.
Then the prexy of this here institution
gives Ihe babe on the chariot, some flowers and
everybody cheered. Not at the babe, under
stand, but at some fighting little dog who in
sisted that the drummer in the front row of
the band Avas lousy (and he was) and started
a big commotion out on the field. Well, then,
the band played the "Star Spangled Banner"
and the show was over.
After the game me and Callic Avas sorta
hungry so we stopped in at the Grand hotel
for dinner and saw some of the boys there.
Finally about 7 o'clock we decided it was time
to go to the party over at the basketball court
and so we went over and shot baskets until
time for the party to start. Well, some local
yokel brings his band in and the party is on.
Right when the party got going good and
1 was sorfa learning the one, two step, they
interrupts the perfectly good dancing to pre
sent another queen. What Nebraska hasn't
got on the football team they make up for
with queens. Every organization and club on
this campus has got a queen. I am nominat
ing Callie next week for the "Avery Labora
tory Social Club Meeting Once a Week" queen
and iboy will she be a knockout.
This club I just mention meets every
Thursday in the lab and concoct something
about like "Zombies" only not exactly. Any
hoAV, they eat your stomach out when you
drink them, and that is the purpose of the
club. Every member must be minus a stomach
before he gets initiated. The way we tell
when the stomach is gone is we give the guys
some baked turnips to eat and if those baked
turnips go thru and come out again as baked
turnips, then the guy has no stomach and he
can join our club. Callie will make a swell
queen, too, because she has one of those up
side down stomachs which you are always
reading about.
Well, after that dance I was telling you
nhmit r.flllift and me went out and sat on a
hill just north of town and we sure saw a lot
of folks we knew sitting out there too. x iook
Callie home then and went back to my room on
6th street. Guess who was there waiting for
me? My brother, and was he plastered. He
hoA t nicked rt with a nilc of scrap yester
day morning and throAvn in beside an old still
somebody had donat ed. W en, me sua was sua
in operation and so was my brother.
Remind me to tell you more about my
brother the next time.

Lowering of Draft Age Looms
As Possibility Says United Press
Drafting of university students
in the 18 to 19 year age group is
now an imminent possibility say
United Press news sources. The
army has submitted an official re
quest for lowering of the draft

Chicago Head
Hits Neglect
Of Collegians
One of the great failures of the
war, according to President Rob
ert M. Hutching of the University
of Chicago, is the "neglect, con
fusion, and delay" paramount to
day In the government's treat
ment of university students where
the war effort Is concerned.
"Although the government has
demonstrated an enlightened ca
pacity to use the resources of the
universities in the conduct of the
war, it has yet to show a similar
intelligence in dealing with stu
dents," President Hutchlns continued.
Discussing the rumors that the
present enlisted reserve plan
would b8 replaced by tne student
armv trainine- corns of World War
I, he stated in his annual report
on the University or unicago wai
this situation "would be worse."
Alt London Roots
For Husker Team
A whooping Husker rooter at
Saturday's Indiana - Nebraska
struggle was Alf Landon, ex
Kansas governor and former re
publican presidential candidate.
During an Interview at the Ne
braska capital Friday, Alf Infused
with the Cornhusker spirit ex
plained: "We Kansans are for Nebraska
any time the Huskers play outside
the Big Six. In anyone roots
harder for the Huskers tomorrow
than I do, it will simply be because
that guy a got a louder voice."

Hopp, closed the half.
6-0, Third Period.
See-saw midfield play featured
the first quarter. Top Nebraska
offensive sally was Dale Bradley's
50-yard trek to midfield with an
intercepted Hoosier aerial. In
diana had bitten deep into Husker
territory (10yard line) thru the
Hillenbrand-Pihos passing com
bine when "Brad" stymied a po
tential score with his interceptoin.
Nebraska weathered several
narrow third quarter squeaks be
fore the real squeeze occurred.
Indiana had just nabbed Bradley's
punt on the Husker 40-yard stripe.
Successive Hillenbrand - Doloway
dashes brought the ball to the 5
yard stripe. Doloway smashed for
one yard, then two. Third down,
two yards to pay territory.
Husker linemen, McNutt and
Hazen, rush Hillenbrand, merci
lessly as he maneuvers wildly to
find a receiver. He spots Saban
across the goal, tosses the ball at
his shoulder. Too high, fourth
down and two to go. Hoosiers at
tempt a placekick with Hillen
brand holding for Saban. Wide to
the side and Husker fans breath a
deep sigh of relief.
Another Tight Squeeze.
Indiana's touchdown fever con
tinued to wax hot. A Hillenbrand
Pihos pass carried the ball to the
Husker 14. Hillenbrand carries it
to the 12, then loses 16 yards on
the next play when he can't spot
a receiver. Another aerial missed
fire and the remarkable Hillen
brand toe pilots the ball out of
bounds on the four.
Fourth period play resembled
the proceeding period Nebraska
on the defense, Indiana on the
march. Late in the period Zik
mund fumbled to Indiana on the
Nebraska 16. Like lightning stab
bing thru a murky afternoon, the
dusky McGinnis slithered his way
14 yards to the 2-yard stripe.
Legs pounding like pistons. Mc
Ginnis plunged for one yard. Von
Goetz and mates held the next Mc
Ginnis dash down to a half yard,
but Indiana had two downs for
the distance. McGinnis rushed
thru the center for the tally. The
Hillenbrand-Saban c o n v e r s ion
team again missed fire. Tally was
12-0 two minutes remained on
the north stadium clock. Two
minutes of Husker fumbling and it
was over.
McGinnis Shines.
Feature of the Indiana play was
twofold. Smooth-blocking and ef
fective, the Hoosier line opened
huge holes for the backs to scam
per thru. Back of Hillenbrand
McGinnis-Doloway caliber hardly
require a hole, so the effect was
unanimous, rass-snatching, rough
Pete Pihos at end and the Hoosier
guards, Deal and Brown, were
particularly effective.
Husker standouts in defeat were
consistent Marvin Thompson, al
ways in there with a rough-and
ready game; diminutive Joe Par
tington, who shined for his third
successive Sattlrday; and tackles
Bob McNutt and Joe Byler, spas
modically good. It was the supe
rior Indiana blocking and back'
field dash which spelled defeat for
the Presnell boys.
Nebraska's most famous football
star, Guy Chamberlain, was
sideline spectator. The former
great All-American of World war
I days summed up the defeat with
"Those boys have to find that in
visible spark. If they find it
against Minnesota next week,
watch out."
At Next Sestion
letter should be presented to Con
gress within a short time.
President Roosevelt naa previ
ously announced that such action
would not be necessary before next
year, but Congressional leaders
were notified last week that earlier
plans to defer draft law revision
would probably be reversed.
The Senate is expectea to De-
gin work on the bill immediately.
It will probably not be taken up in
the House until after the Novem
ber third elections, when it is vir
tually assured action if the Presi
dent has assented to it.
The reason given for the change
was that younger men make bet
ter soldiers. It was stated that
there is no immediate shortage in
the 20 to 45 age group.
Army spokesman, MaJ. Gen.
Janes A. Ulio, urged voluntary
enlistment for men in the 18-19
age gr oup as the Army training
program is being seriously hin
dered by the shortage of younger
men.
Scrap . . .
(Continued from Page 1)
scene created from articles in
their scrap pile.
T. J. Thompson, dean of stu
dent affairs, expressed apprecia
tion and pleasure at the "success
ful outcome of one of the finest
efforts you have ever undertaken."
The contest, sponsored by Inno
cents Society and judged by Mr.
Dan Hill of the Northwestern Iron
and Metal company, replaced the
usual Homecoming decorations as
a token of the university's war
effort.
Hill Commends Students.
According to Mr. Hill, university
students unearthed much scrap
which would be rotting, had they
not discovered it. Hill said that
judging of the contest had been
difficult, as e'cry house had made
an all-out effort. He commended
students on their spirit and co
operation and expressed himself
as "amazed" at the successful
outcome of the drive. "I am posi
tive," he added, "that the boys at
the front will be able to accom
plish their aim of a complete vic
tory due to the co-operation of the
public at hofne."
Scrap was collected yesterday
morning by Lincoln transportation
companies with the aid of the air
base soldiers. It will be sold by
the city to scrap dealers who will
sell it to the government. All
money received by the city will be
turned over to charity organizations.
