Will Football Die?
Memories habitually arise, become downright assertive in
times of crisis. A parade of memories, all clad in football attire
of the Scarlet and Cream, paused by our typewriter today.
There was tiny Johnny Bender, first Cornhusker gridiron
celebrity . . . Colorful, long-striding Lloyd "Wildhoss'' Card-
well . . . Southpaw Harrison Samuel Francis, known as "Sam"
to a million admirers . . . Guy Chamberlin . . . Kver hear of
"Chambcrlin the Champ!" ... He spoiled two Notre Dame
undefeated seasons, astonished Kockne. Every member pleads
the question :
What has happened to Nebraska football!
We see All-Americans George Sauer, the magnificent blond
fullback . . . Fiery Lawrence Ely, "Gay Cabcllero" of the
gridiron . . . Slippery Glenn lYcsnell. great halfback of the
late 20's . . . Rullct-bodied Hernue liohng, quick-thinking War
ren Alfson, smashing Harry Hopp . . . Remember that stellar
Kose Bowl crew! They, too, express the feeling:
lKn't let Nebraska disappear from the football map.
Nebraska need not slide off the map. Lackadaisical interest
in spring practice can be remedied by a climax match. Corn
husker football features a glorious tradition that can be main
tained only by keeping alive student interest.

Dr. Hertzler continued tn his

STUDENT HEADS BACK UN-TIQElR FRAY
Student interest m the prospective Missouri-Nebraska
spring football match continued to mount Wednesday when
campus leaders sent their pledge of full support to offices of
the Daily Nebraskan.
Since all reserves will be called by fall, no football men will
be available then and consequently the current spring football
routine is an aimless measure. Regular 1942 performers have
not been attending practice sessions for the reason "that there's
nothing to work for." All have asserted they would report
regularly if a spring match was scheduled,
Fact that Uncle Sam will require a well-conditioned erew
when he calls, adds further emphasis to a spring grid match.

Dear Sir:
From my own personal findings and from what I have
learned from other interested parties, it appears that football
interest at Nebraska is very low among the players. One rea
""son is apparently behind this laxity: These players do not hare
any goal to work fori
A possiblo solution a set forth by th Daily Nebraskan b
a scheduled football game between Nebraska and Missouri this
spring. I feel that such a contest with such an ancient and
spirited rival as Missouri would without doubt stimulate state
wide interest. As a representative of Corn Cobs, men's pep
organization, I wish to say that this organization will be 100
percent behind a Missouri-Nebraska spring football contest.
Sincerely,
Jrank White,
President, Corn Cobs.
Dear sports editor:
As a representative of Mortar Board, I believe that a foot
ball game this spring is just what the school needs. It is the
university's last chance to see their football men in action for
the duration and perhaps the last chance to see a college foot
ball game.
Our school could use a big spirited event like a football
game now. I can assure you that Mortar Boards will back any
movement toward this game.
Dorothy Weirich,
President Mortar Boards.
