After having seen t. erous
other college's athlete u 'rams
lor Army and Navy personnel, I
am just a little disappointed with
the set-up here at Nebraska. Per
haps it is the bitter memory of
' very unpleasant past that causes
this reproach upon the Army
physical directors here. 1 am still
holding- a rotten grudge on the
Army for its obstacle courses.
Last spring, up at Colorado
University, I used to spend many
sadistically pleasant hours watch-

Kidnapped Pooch Returns

Kadio students dragging their
weary beat-up bodies pitifully
over the most fiendish obstacle
course - ever devised by human
mind. Believe me, it was hor
rible. Down here, do the Army boys
hiive to face such brutal and vital
tests, of physical endurance? No.
Sure, they got calisthenics, but
what I mean, is these tricky rope
.swinging over a pond, or crawl
ing through a cracker barrel, out
! its. Now mind you, I'm not get
t'ng on the Army's back, or say
ing the ASTP boys don't have it,
but what I am driving at is, that
obstacle courses are the greatest
(if not the bloodiest) sports in
the world to watch. Yes, it really
does surpiise me that there isn't
that sort of a set-up down here.
The Army has really slipped.

in on the fiendish criminals who
absconded with the pup from his

"We'll win with whiskers, is
now the the war cry of our Coin
husker football players. The pic
ture of "Whiskers'' is a reminder
of what our Scarlet and Cream
lads may look like if they don't
win a ball game. They have vowed
never to shave until there is
gridiron victory on the Nebraska
roster.
If a player should prove himself
to be a traitor, because of a wom
an (or for any other reason), he
must submit himself to suffer the
consequences of having his face
painted with Benzoin. Benzoin is
a yellow liquid that is painted on
the legs and arms of a player
wishing to apply tape to those
portions of his anatomy. It is
very sticky, has a most peculiar
odor, and won't come off.
The girls that try to coax their
ball toting beau into shaving can
now also know his fate. Girls, you
have your choice; kiss 'em with
