Football season has always been a romantic time of year. There is a feeling about it all mixed up with hot dogs, a packed stadium, bands, pennants, and cheering, win, lose or draw, that can't be found in any other sport. For that reason the past few years have been a little disheartening. It never seemed right to walk into the Memorial Stadium and find a couple of thousand unen thusiastic spectators sitting dis consolately here and there, with no cheering section. That's why yesterday was such a great day. Approximately 18,000 people watched the game. It was music to our ears to hear the ush ers tell late-comers they would have to go down to the 5-yard line for a seat. It was football weather, it was crowded, it was noisy, the concessions stands ran out of food before the half, and nobody cared. That intangible thing called "spirit" ran rampant all over the place, with a red feather in its hat. This is only the beginning. It was the first game for an inex perienced team and we lost, but there are more games coming up, more touchdowns, more half cooked hot dogs, more hoarse throats, more screaming crowds, because this is only the beginning of a football season that IS a football season. Win, lose, or draw, if the Ne braska spirit at the rest of the games matches that of yesterday, it's a great day. SNIPE HUNTIN' with J1DGE MASON IVI3T1 The guy who said the "old days" would never return was looney as a bedbug. Yesterday after noon's game was enough to make a liar out of him and all his cohorts what a fight! 'Course we didn't score on them but what's a coupla numbers here and there Potsy could answer that! As Alex Fink said when he came out of the fracas, face skinned and panting for all he was worth, "boy, it's rough in there!" But matching the spunk of the team was the enthusiasm of the crowd. Old days here we come! We were happy to see Truk Williams and Don Sailors on the field and out of mischief. If foot ball would just take up a little more of their time perhaps they would stay out of strange people's cars at night anyway, we don't know much more, but how about that, fellas? It has always been a big mystery to us what goes on in the press box at a football game. Do the reporters get all excited like the crowd or do they sit back calmly chewing their cigarets and smoking their pencils? Does Greg McBride ever turn over backwards in his chair and does Walt Dobbins ever swallow his cigar? We wandered up yesterday afternoon to find the answers to these questions but upon opening the door we were met by an inferiority-complex-in citing groan. The door was slammed in our face and we picked up our nose and we walked back down to the field. It seems that women aren t al lowed in that place. Speaking of old times, we saw some old timers' faces sitting in the stadium (that's quite a trick if you can do it.) Paul Svoboda, former Nebraskan editor and now a captain in the marines, was back in his old place in the student section yelling for the team. "Buss" Black and Deuel Andresen, top campus picnic dates of three years ago, were also rooting for the scarlet and cream. Ed Nyden, 42 Husker end, was there with his wife and also Bill Robinson and his o. and o. The stadium really rang and the old forgotten ghost, "Husker Spirit" rose from his grave to see what was going on. Maybe next week hell get up enough action to give the Gophers a swift kick where it will do the most good. LETTERIP This is to clearify the CORNHUSKER-Tri Pi st ation: Recently, one of the two missing Cornhusker receipt books was recovered, leaving a balance of $5.26 which can be understood as only a normal error when Cornhuskers are sold at fall registra tion.
