After three years of event
packed life in the army, Emanuel
Wishnow returned this week to

been associate professor and con
ductor of the University orchestra
and string ensemble. Those three
years took Mr. Wishnow and his
violin from Nebraska to bomb-
shattered London, Paris and Ger
many. Entering the army in October of
1942, he was stationed 16 months
at New Mexico s Camp Luna
where he directed a 78-piece con
cert band that was a marching
band as well. In addition, under
the auspices of Special Services,
he .was one-fourth of a select
string quartet that included a KU
teacher, a dean of a Kansas col
lege, and a member of the Cin
cinnati Symphony Orchestra!
Plays with Miller.
It was here that Capt. Glenn
Miller chose him for the string
section of the special Army Air
Forces orchestra that entertained
GI's and that beamed propaganda
to Nazi-Europe from B.B.C. in
London. Miller's orchestra in
cluded best players from the or
chestras of T. Dorsey, Goodman,
Krupa, Shaw and Crosby. "Glenn
Miller revolutionized American
swing with that group by using
the string section as a solo unit
and not just as padding," Mr.
Wishnow pointed out. "There
were men from all the major
symphonies in our section," he

continued. "And ironically
enough," he added "these 'long
haired' musicians have short hair.
It's the root swingsters that wear
their hair down to their necks!"
Leaving the U.S.A. June 22,
1944 on the Queen Elizabeth,
Glenn Miller & Company arrived
in Scotland and proceeded directly
to London where they were to
broadcast and record for B.B.C,
Europe's most powerful radio. Be
cause the V-l bombs that con
tinually pounded London actually
prevented the group fronyrehears
ing let alone broadcasting BBC
moved the group 50 miles north
to Bedford where they headquar
tered during the blitzkreig. "Just
18 hours after we left our former
lodging on Sloan Street, 65 men
and several WACs were killed by
those bombs at the exact spot
where we had been. After the
bombing, there weren't even dog
tags to be found," he recalled.
A pleasanter memory of Bed
ford for Mr. Wishnow is the mem
ory of seeing Queen Elizabeth
there when she came to inspect
Red Cross work. "Our string oc
tet was playing for the occasion,
and the queen requested a Grieg
number which we played for her,"
he said, "and afterwards she
thanked each of us graciously."
Special Performances.
In addition to playing at army
hospitals and at air bases, the
Miller band gave several special
performances of interest. One
performance that shattered pre
Cridders Snatch
Fumbles to Win
BY GEORGE MILLER.
Manhattan, Kansas, Nov. 10.
Nebraska capitalized on Kansas
State mistakes to chalk up a 24 to
nothing victory at Manhattan be
fore a Wildcat homecoming crowd.
Fumbles by the K-State back
field set up Husker scores in the
first and third quarters, as a chilly
temperature and alert UN tacklers
made fumbles numerous. Phil
Young continued his scoring pa
rade, scoring two touchdowns in
the victory, the Huskers' second
of the season and also their second
Big Six win. Gerald Moore and
Alec Schneider also found the way
to pay dirt as the Wildcat defenses
wilted in the second half.
Steady Ball.
In winning the championship of
Kansas for the second consecutive
year, the Huskers played steady
ball thruout the till, and only
once did the Kansans threaten to
cross the Nebraska double line.
Bob Korte set up the first Ne
braska score by recovering a K
State fumble on the Wildcat 28
midway in the opening quarter.
After working the ball down to
the two yard line, Moore fumbled
a direct pass from center and the
Wildcats recovered. Estes punted
out from deep in the end zone and
Cletus Fischer returned the ball
to the 27.
First Score.
Moore drove for a first down on
the fifteen, Fischer went to the
twelve and Moore again plowed
through the line to the five.

cedence was the playing of Amer
ican swing in the revered Paris
Opera House where only the
purest form of grand opera is
staged. From this benefit con
cert and from a similar one given
in Sol Pleyel's Hall, $50,000 was
raised for French war prisoners.
(Cornel Wilde fans will remember
Pleyel as Chopin's concert man
ager). Equally precedent-breaking was
another concert in Wagner's Fes
tival House at Bayreuth, where
Toscanini and Bruno Walter con
ducted great music festivals prior
to Hitler's rise. But perhaps the
most unsual experience was en
tertaining for General Bradley
when he played return host to
several Russian generals. Jascha
Heifetz, Mickey Rooney and "some
jitterbugs from Paris" also enter
tained. "I think the Russians
liked the jitterbugs best," he
laughed, "but I enjoyed recalling
with Heifetz the dinner that our
Nebraska chapter of Sinfonia gave
for him several years ago when he
played in Lincoln." Before the
orchestra moved into Germany
after V-E day, they had made 850
personal appearances and 500
broadcasts, including OWI propa
ganda beamed to undermine Nazi
morale.
Addresses Sinfonia.
In addressing a Sinfonia lunch
eon Thursday, Wishnow stated:
"There has never been greater
need in the world for what we as

Kansas
24-0
Fischer hit the line twice and
Moore went over from the one
with seven minutes of playing
time elapsed.
Bill Sloan missed the first con
version attempt and failed to con
nect on the extra point all after
noon as two other attempts were
blocked and another was wide.
Again in the third quarter the
Nebraskans recovered a Wildcat
bobble deep in scoring territory.
A fourth down pass from the six
was complete to Schneider but the
catch was made outside the end
zone and K-State took over.
Nebraska marched right back
after a weak Wildcat punt. This
time they went to the two but
lacked the punch to score.
Harris Fumbles.
Harris fumbled on the first play
after Kansas State took the ball
and Story recovered on the
twelve. The Huskers were not
denied on this third attempt to
dent the goal line and scored
when Fischer whipped a short
pass to Schneider in the end zone.
With the Kansas second team
on the field the Huskers used a
spread formation to good advan
tage, with Fischer piling up yard
age on end sweeps as he carried
the ball to the one yard line. Phil
Young squirmed across with less
than a minute left in the third
quarter.
Soon after the opening of the
last stanza Art Bauer repeated
his pass interception act which
be began last Saturday against
Kansas U. This week he raced
from midfield to the Kansas State
25 and Young and Fischer moved
the pigskin to the seven where
Young went across carrying two
Wildcats with him.
The home team made their only

Ag Experiment
Utilizes Nebraska
Land for Project
The utilization of land in south
eastern Nebraska for experimental
purposes to determine facts on
grazing returns, was described by
Perry Branch, manager of Uni
