BY NORRIS ANDERSON
Sports Editor.
MEMORIAL STADIUM, Nov. 7. Missouri's
goM-arbel Tigers paraded thru bore today
on their steady march to the Big Six title,
pausing long enough to stave off a brave chal
lenge by a pass-minded Nebraska Cornhusker
aggregation.
Living up to advance hulabaloo as one of
the top offensive units in the country, the
Tigers exploded for three touchdowns in the
final two quarters to spell defeat for a Husker
team powered gloriously by a one-man gang
change was made Saturday after
noon by Frank M. Johnson, presi
dent of the board of regents.
John K. Selleck was appointed
comptroller of the university, with
duties corresponding to those of
the previous office of finance sec
retary. He will continue' as busi
ness agent for athletics and man
ager for student activities. His
duties and title as director of ath
letics are to be assumed by Glenn
Presnell, head football coach.
L. E. Gunderson, former finance
and corporation secretary, will
continue as corporation secretary.
In that capacity he will perform
a limited number of duties pre
viously performed by the finance
secretary.
In making the official announce
ment for the board of regents,
President Johnson said: '"In view
of the steadily increasing number
and complication of duties in the
it seemed advisable to consolidate
and rearrange the duties of these
offices."
Selleck, a graduate of the uni
versity in 1912, has been connected
with the institution since 1921,
his first position having been with
the purchasing department. His
association with the business office
of the athletic department began
the following year. He is a vet
eran of the first World war.
Mr. Gunderson has been with
the university since 1920.

School Heads
Streamline
War Curricula
Nebraska public school adminis
trative officials conferred last
week on ways to streamline the
high school curriculum in line with
war industry and army needs. A
way to speed up high school educa
tion for youths subject to 18-19
year old draft is indicated, but no
definite method has been decided
upon yet, the committee reported.
Such a speed-up program might
include a 12 month school year,
heavier courses, or both. Added
emphasis would probably be placed
on physical fitness training and
subjects related to military serv
ice. Regular four year programs of
pupils not concerned in the draft
will probably not be disturbed.
Plans for the fall Kosmet Hub Revue have
been completed with a change of date, sched
uling the show for the afternoon of Nov. 21.
Nebraska Sweetheart and Prince Kosmet, pre
sented during the intermission, will be elected
at the door.
Tickets will go on sale Tuesday for the
revue, which includes the presentations and
eight fraternity skits. Klub actives will meet
oroorrow at 5:30 p.m.
Committees are as follows: Presentation,
Don Young, Paul Toren, Tom Drummond;
properties and stage, Don Young, Charles
Drake, Jack Higgins, Bob Henderson; pub
licity, Bob Schlater, Bob Miller; program and
tickets. Frank White; Sweetheart election,
Dick Harnsberger, and lights, Alan Jacobs.
Houses and workers assigned to each are:
Phi Kama Psi. John Cook ; Sigma Nu, Duane
Ulnnler; SFffhia" Alnha Emilon, Don Stewart;
Sigma Chi, Gilbert Rydan; Sigma Alpha Mu,
Alvin Margolin; Alpha Tau umega, uii
James; Alpha Sigma Phi, Rod Franklin, and
Phi Gamma Delta, Art bchmate.
Max Laughlin, president of the organiza
tion, summed up the affair, saying: "Well.
havA met. reverses on all fronts thus far
w uritk in date set for Nov. 21 and with
eioht fraternities backing up the skit program
we will present a show that won't be forgotten
for a long time."
Single-handedly did low-headed Mr. Long
spark his mates to statistical equality with the
deceptive Tigers. Kven more deceptive than
the Tigers was the ultimate count of the bat
tle. Nebraska equaled Missouri's 1." first
downs and trailed by only o!)0-32.r in the total
yards department.
Nine minutes after Referee Dwight Ream
had piped an opening salute on his whistle,
the Huskers possessed six points. They bat
tered, threatened and passed their way thru
the remainder of the game only to fall heir to
bad breaks with pay territory within easy
sight.
Long presented warning of his coming feats
by intercepting Steuber 's aerial on the Mis
souri 40. Two plays later Long winged the
leather directly over Jack Hazen's shoulder
from the Husker 40. Ha .en lunged, grasped
the ball, eluded one Mi..ou tackier and dove
across. Cheering hadn't yet subsided when
Vie Schleich missed connections with his con
version. 6-0.
Mizzou Threatens.
A bit of gridiron wizardry by Bob Steuber,
by far the most agile ''cripple" ever to per
form on Memorial sod, accounted for the open
ing Tiger score. After a previous drive had
been repulsed by Marv Thomp
son's recovery of a Tiger fumble,
the invaders opened a fresh drive
from their 36-yard stripe. Steuber
flipped to Eckern for 26 yards,
O'Hara advanced 23 yards in three
tries to place the pigskin on the
Husker 10-yard line as the first
quarter gun popped.

the line followed by a four-yard
