(Sports Editor)
Another armload of kindling was tossed
on the "Missouri versus Nebraska" gridiron
bonfire Thursday nij;ht when Don Faurot, Mis
souri football coach, indicated via telephone
to the Daily Nebraskan that the Tigers are
willing to play.
.i"
'Jf we can receive an of
ficial invitation from the Uni
versity of Nebraska, we're
willing to play at Lincoln,"
said Faurot. "We couldn't
play before April 10, however."
"An "official invitation." as
Faurot worded it, consists of
approval of the Cornhusker
athletic board. Approval of
said board can only be ob
tained by a meeting of all
members.
"Due to John Ridde.ll being
located at York," said Prof. R. 1). Scott, chair
man of the board, "We can't hold an irumcdi-

ate meeting." Remainder of the board consists
of Prof. J. D. Clerk, Prof. H. P. Davis, George
Holmes, Dale Bradley (student member), and
Dean T. J. Thompson. Ex-officio members are
John Selleck, UN comptroller; L. H. Seaton,
purchasing agent, and Glen Presnell, athletic
director.
Deciding Opinions.
Since the question does deal with athletics,
opinion of Presnell, Selleck and Dean Thomp
son would undoubtedly decide the issue,
Thompson is Nebraska's faculty Big Six repre
sentative : Selleck handles the financial ledger
for the Huskers.
Four members of the board were contacted
yesterday and all leaned favorably toward the
spring football game. A board meeting is the
next step toward obtaining the fray. Then
comes the problem of obtaining official Big Six
approval, a sanction which should not be too
hard to obtain in view of wartime conditions.
Presnell Favors Plan.

. . . fBe There or Else?
A dormant rule on the books of
the home economics department
was put into effect this week and
since has been the topic of much
discussion on both campuses.
In yesterday's Letterip column
a "Home Ec Student" brought this
problem in a letter to the editor.
The rule in question is that for
every class missed three points
will be taken off the student's
final grade and for every tardy
mark one point will be deducted
from the final average.
The following are some com
ments made by students on the
decision to enforce the rule.
Ridiculous!

in the Union lounge, "It is utterly
ridiculous' and childish we are
