Varsity Men
Battle Iowa
Husker varsity gridders face a
tough assignment when they go
against the determined Iowa
Hawkeyes Saturday in the sea
son's finale at Memorial stadium.
The Iowans are .fresh from an up
set triumph over Minnesota and
are primed to close the season
with another victory.
Using comparative scores as a
standard, the r
Huskers are
delinite under
dogs against
the Hawkeyes,
since Minnesota
trounced Ne
braska 67 to 7
earlier this
year. It was
an entirely dif
ferent Minne
sota team that
f a ce d the
Iowans, how
ever, and the Nebraska squad has
greatly improved over its early
season performances.
With dead eye Jerry "Niles, a
26-year-old war-veteran, in the
driver's seat the Hawkeyes passed
and ran the Gophers into defeat,
winning 20 to 19 after staving off
a last minute Minnesota surge.

Nebraska Graduate Originates
Game for Hospitalized Soldiers
Success for an ex-GI who de
vised a "cut out" game for hos
pitalized soldiers suffering from
combat fatigue, has become today
a nation-wide business operated
entirely by World War II veterans.
The ex-GI is Wesley Matthews
who graduated from the Nebraska
Department of Architecture in
1932. The 'game" is a system of
cut outs with which any one can
plan their own home in sufficient
detail to be used by a contractor.
Soon after Matthews entered
the service in 1943, he was as
signed to the Air Corps convales
cent hospital at Fort Logan, Colo.
While there, a nurse at the hos
pital asked Sgt. Matthews for an
extra set of drafting materials
for a soldier patient who wanted
to pass the time drawing plans
for his own home. As the drafting
was too bulky for the bed-ridden
soldier, he offered to devise a
substitute.
The substitute was the ''game."
One large sheet was nothing but
a grid of one inch squares. Two
more sheets carried outlines of
over a scoie different sized rooms.
The fourth sheet illustrated in
architects' blueprint fashion types
of windows, doors, closets, stair
ways, plumbing and light fixtures.
The fifth sheet illustrated a large
variety of furniture as architects
draw them into plans for homes.
As everything was drawn to scale,
all the soldier had to do was clip
them out and paste them on the

and spirit with which every such
man is taking up his normal life
again.
A letter received by Miss Mar
garet Fedde, chairman of the
home economics department, from
Mrs. Francisco Carino (Clara
Palafox, '26), a Manila resident,
is featured in the new Alumnus.
The letter describes three years
under the Japanese rule and the
hardship the Philippine Island res
idents underwent.

normalcy of the campus proof of
