It's A Natural . . .
Jf this paper seems to have become over-excited concerning
the proposed football frame this spring between Nebraska and
Missouri, it is with some justification, for such a game seems
to be a "natural."
A "natural" is a frame that: (1) Pits two evenly matched
teams against each other; (2) Will draw a crowd; (3) ; involves
some tradition; (4) Stirs every member of both teams to do
fight his hardest for a win.
1. If the coaches can keep their squad members out for
spring practice which seems unlikely if there is no incentive,
a game both Missouri and Nebraska will have good teams.
2. Nebraska has always been a football state. Indefinite
plans call for the game being played here, perhaps, with the
proceeds going for charity. A packed stadium would be easy
to get.
Missouri-Nebraska games are filled with tradition. "With
little liklihood that intercollegiate football as we know it will
be played next fall, this serves as an opportunity for the Corn
huskcrs and Tigers -to tangle before they do some more seriously
tangling.
4. Every Nebraska team member wants the game. In the
first place, they want to revenge this fall's loss. Secondly, prac
ticing is no fun; ihe game is the thing. The student newspaper
in Columbia reports that the Alizzou griddcrs are in the same
frame of mind.
Since approval for the game must be received from the Big
Six and all details arranged, action must begin somewhere, ami
it might just as well start here.
The members of the athletic; board contacted yesterday by
the Nebraska!! expressed approval of the game. They should
give Ihe idea serious consideration and begin the routine which
must be gone thru before the game can be played.
Nebraska and Missouri fans, players and students are in
favor of the game. Everything indicates that the game would b
a success.
And besides we want to wallop the pants off of them!

Dear Editor:
We the friends who Pat Chamberlin has
danced with and laughted with (although
somehow we can t remember doing either, un
less she was the irirl we nicked un-er-met a-t
the last Union dance,) and who are going off
to fight for our God and Country (as Mr.
Stepanek says,) have learned our lesson, be
fore we read Pat s little front page editorial
vesterdav. we were nroud and a little happy
to be leaving in the service; since reading it,
we feel the unfairness of it all.
Her colyum made us just begin to recognise
the aeronv of staving at home." Here while
we lucky fellows go to a place ("the front"
of course!) where we "won't have time to
think," (ah blessed Nirvana,) we will have
the horrible feeling that at home, Pat Cham
berlin is thinking. Every minute she s think-
mg. Atter every hit ot. news, she s tnuiKing.
After every letter, she's thinking. This sort
of thing affects us deeply. We pause for a
moment to weep.
While fighting on the bloody battlefields
of Kansas, the thought will haunt us that we
are taking the easiest way: that we should
really, if we had the "sterling silver of cour
age," slay home and help Pat think. A 1limg
ike thinking, . after each letter, etc., etc., is
too much "agonv" for one little girl, paiticu-
arlv as nrettv as Miss Chamberlin. When
we think of Pat thinking, or having a "heart
breaking thrill," (whatever that may be)
everytime she bids one of us goodby on the
train, or envying our nearness to death well,
sometimes we can't stand it anymore either.
We feel that by going away, maybe we are
running awav from reality. And we musn t
do that.
Ah. when we think what Pat is thinking.
Think, Pat thinks 1 hat "at the front" we
don't think that Pat thinks. Hut we really
think that Pat thinks that we-oh Veil.
We feel so sorrv for Pat, thinking away
here at home, and so ashamed of our own poor
part in this undertaking that we really think
(there we go again) that ns soon as uc reaeii
"the front," we'll buy Pat a little gift with
'our country's silver currency in our pockets.

(Editor's note: Substituting for a sick
editor, Pat Chamberlin, Nebraskan news editor,
wrote the front page editorial for the "Service
men's" edition. She said yesterday that she
would be glad to receive a copy of "Thoughts
and Meditations," as a gift from Mr. Peterson,
but not "Guadalcanal Diary." She has read it.)

that myself and my players nat
urally favor such a maicn. com
mented Presncll. "It would give
the boys an incentive to work to
ward and would certainly ooosi
the attendance at our drills."
Faurot added during his con
versation that Missouri was count
ing on fall football despite only
"a flock of seventeen year oias
being available. "A spring game
would be a nice break for our up-
perelassmen." he concluded. Give
ns an official invitation ana i m
quite sure we can obtain approval
here."
Nutshell Viewpoint.
An in-B-nutshell view of the
hurdles yet to be cleared before
the match can be arranged now
consists of three parts. (1) Uni
versity of Nebraska athletic board
must vote for the game. (2) Mis
souri athletic board must offi
cially approve.' (3i Big Six per
mission must be obtained.
Enthusiasm for the battle
among Cornhuskcr students can
be aseeitained by the wave of
hopeful comment that has circled
the campus. Every campus activ
ity, all fraternity and sorority
houses, have pledged full support.
