Yearbook's Publication
Should Notify Annual
Any organization or club formed
since the publishing of the 1942
Cornhusker, and wishing to be
included in the clubs and activities
section of the 1943 yearbook,
should notify either Ann Seacrest
or Wayne Southwick, co-chairmen
in charge of the clubs and ac

The Cornhusker is anxious to
present an inclusive report of Ne

book, and prompt action on the
part of such new organizations
will be appreciated, according to
the co-chairmen.

Fewer Trips.
Differing from previous debate
seasons in three ways this year's
debate will feature less trips for
individual competition and more
conferences where many teams
may compete together, one debate
question agreed upon by several
national forensic organizations
and a season which will open and
close earlier.
The problem to be debated thru
out the year will be, "Resolved:

There may have been games superior to
this annual Oopher-llusker classic but one
would have to dig deep into the records for
a meeting equal to today's thrills, dramatic
episodes, and downright "screwy" football.
Evidently fed up with this talk of all de
fense and no offense, Nebraska went sys
tematically about the task of avenging the
bright first-half (topher showing by keeping the
ball in (iopher territory throughout the final
two stanzas. Once again did Ilusker misplays
undo Husker bright points.
Gophers Score First.
End Paul .Mitchell opened scoring fire for the
Gophers when he blocked a Howard Debus
punt on the Nebraska oG-yard stripe. Momen
tum of Mitchell's dash knocked the ball the
entire distance to the goal. His mates, Heiu
and "Wildung blocked Debus as he dove for the
ball and the leather rolled free for an auto
matic safety. Score was 2-0, but not for long.
Dig Vie Schleich kicked off to Minnesota
on the fifty yard stripe. From there, two quick
dashes by Dob Kula carried the ball to the
40-yard line. On the next play, Dick Lucke
meyer found a huge opening at right tackle,
out sped the Husker secondary, and crossed the
double stripes untouched.
Hob Sandberg held the ball for Hena
Frickey's successful conversion, 9-0.
Second half play started with another
Gopher touchdown outburst. Evidently of the
impression that touchdowns might be scarce,
the Gopher offense rolled with full momentum.
Minnesota fielded the Husker kickoff on their
36-yard stripe.

yards up to the 48-yard stripe. Kula capped

We Apologize . . .
Because, Nebraska spirit is not dead. If it was rigor mortis Fri
day morning;, it was .-incarnation-plus Friday night and all day
Saturday.
Because, we were wrong when we said it's possible that y. '
have to have a "winning team" to arouse any spirit in the student
body. The student body was cheering yesterday afternoon, and we
were never ahead. It was 2-0. then 9-0; the students cheered, it
was 15-0; students cheered. It was 15-2; the student body
CHEERED!
Because, the football team doesn't have to be "down to the 3
yard line" to have the student body behind them. Nebraska's team
was in Minnesota territory only four times during the afternoon,
but the cheering was there all afternoon.
Because, five fumbles on the part of the Huskers failed to drop
the spirit we said had already died.
Because, "simply and plainly" (as we said) it isn't that "we
don't have any guts"; it took some kind of spirit to bring on Fri
day night, and a lot more of it U hold out during yesterday after
noon. Because those big Swedes headed north, tired.
So, we apologize.

Spirit Not Dead, Students Hold
Rally, Respond to Daily Attack
Rallying on this campus ganiel a short re
prieve Friday night as students turned out
impromptu, in response to the Daily's attack
om dead student spirit.
Proving to themselves more than to anybody
tint there is spirit, and spark, in the student
body, and that fun can be had at rallies, one
of the noisiest and most spectacular rallies of
the season was held prefacing yesterday's
game.
Much of rtie success of this spontaneous dis
play of enthusiasm was due to the student
body becoming infuriated at remarks included
in IViday's Daily. Just how long this enthu
siasm will remain is up to the students them
selves. It was the job of the Daily to arouse
the "almost dead spirit," and judging: from
remarks about the campus Friday, and the en
suing rally, the job was weil done.
The student body has shown the necessary
"guts" when challenged, but whether or not
they have to be challenged every time a dis
play of enthusiasm is needed, remains to be
seen.
Every student at the rally climbed down
from the haughty ranks of "a student of
higher learning." to turn "Joe College" once
again to give the team moral support for the
game. And they had fun at the rally, as was
plainly exhibited. Even signs of a snake dance,
the blaring of auto horns, and other noise
makers, were reminiscent of the rallies of old.
How many more times does the student body
have to be sparked for a display of enthusi
asm! Or will this short reprieve fail and ral
lies on this campus go dead once again and

Dean T. J. Thompson declared
that he believed in the clean en

cent" of the student body and
promised that if 1100 percent is
found who may have stooped to
such vandalism "they will be
dealt with accordingly."

are the authorities, Thompson
said. Thompson answered Hollo

Thompson's letter

to Holloway
Dear Sheriff Holloway:
Innocents Indignant.
. Yesterday afternoon I was un
able to find the time to get in
touch with the Innocents society
which sponsored the recent scrap
drive. This society is composed of
carefully selected members of our
senior class. Today, however, I
was able to talk to the president
and other members of the group,
and I found that they had already
had an indignation meeting con
cerning the smearing that their
drive had had due to the miscal
culated enthusiasm of someone.
Personally, I wish you to know
that I think our "kids" at the uni
versity did a magnificent thing in
putting on so splendid a drive for
scrap. I regret very much that
we were not fully advised of the
recent allegations concerning the
matter before it was given publi
city. Your visit at 2:30 yesterday
to my office was the first intima
tion that I had that anything had
gone wrong. By that time, of
course, the newspapers had the
story.
