rvrnrn pTnJ U uiruuu Vol. 46 No. 6 LINCOLN 8, NEBRASKA September 29, 1946 o Let's Meet That Train! BY JACK HILL. The Huskers are coming back today! Their train will pull Into the Burlington station at 10:00 this morning and this Is the chance for every man and woman on campus to show them that the whole university still thinks they're a great team.

Leaders of the Tassels, and Corn Cobs got busy last night to wel. come the footballers back. But It's going to take the appearance of every possible student and faculty member for that matter, to make this homecoming mean something. .
