Wimberley Writes
Article on Mark
Twain in Monthly
Lowry Charles Wimberley, Eng
lish professor, is author of an ar
ticle in this month's issue of the
Atlantic Monthly in which he dls
cusses a heretofore neglected ex
ample of Mark Twain's writing.
Wimberley found in the files of
the Nebraska State Historical so
ciety a letter Twain wrote to the
New York Post in 1880. Time
magazine, discussing the find in
its current issue, refers to the
piece as a "rare sample of Twain's
rollicking burlesque."
Professor Wimberley is also
editor of "The Prairie Schooner,"
university publication. The fall is
sue came out two weeks ago and
the winter issue will be presented
in December. The editorial staff
is now working on an anthology
of the 17 year old magazine,

come too "Americanized" to be
particularly appealing but that
Guatemala City had not as yet
been much affected by American
tourists. He found the residents
of that city friendly and accom
modating in a true Iatin Ameri

Howard considers Guatamala
City as his "old home town"
since he lived there for several
years. He ran into several for
mer UN students who are sta
tioned on his way. While in school
Howard was an Alpha Tau Omega.

Before a small crowd, composed
almost entirely of service men, the
Tigers of Missouri ran and passed
their way to a 54 to 20 victory
over the Cornhuskers of the Uni
versity of Nebraska.
Sparked by big "Bulldog" Reese,
the Tigers took advantage of
every opportunity to defeat a
game and trying Scarlet ball club.
It was the Bengals ability to
capitalize on the breaks, and the
running and passjng of Reese that
turned the trick for the Missou
rians. The big fullback personally
crossed the goal twice, and passed
for another score. He also aided
in setting . up two other Tiger
touchdowns, but it remained for
slender Ted Kcnfield, fleet Ne
braska back, to bring the crowd
standing to their feet in a round
of applause. The 155 pound back
received a noisy ovation from the
crowd for his fine running and his
fighting spirit, as he left the game
in the third quarter.

Nebraska won the toss and
elected to receive. Gaiter returned
the kickoff to the Husker 29 yard
line. On the first play, Smith, who
was starting in the Nebraska
backfield for the first time, tried
to flank his own right end, but
