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.
After the sendoff they got Thursday night, some of the boys may
be a little worried as to their reception after a defeat. If every house
on campus, every member of a club and every individual student could
be down there waiting for Coach Masterson and his great team, there
couldn't be any doubts about Nebraska being behind the Scarlet and
Cream every inch of the way.
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. .

Nebraska
Rates High
In Survey
Nebraska university has been
named fourth highest in the na
tion in terms of over-all educa
tional program in a recent study
by two Iowa State college educa
tors.
Nebraska is topped only by
Utah, Kansas and Oregon, with
Iowa State ranked fifth.
Ratings Determined.
The study, made by Raymond
M. Hughes, president emeritus
and William H. Lancelot, profes
sor of vocational education, placed
nine out of the nation's ten best
educational systems in states west
of the Mississippi river. "Neither
the older nor the wealthier states
seem any longer to be at or near
the head of the educational pro
cession in America," stated the
authors.
The ratings and how they were
determined are published in a new
book by Hughes and Lancelot en
titled "Education: America's
Magic."

Gophers Slap Scarlet
In Season Opener
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (Special to Daily Nebraskan)-
The Nebraska Cornhuskers went out to face the Minnesota
Gophers supplied with plenty of T, plays, but the men of
Bernie Bierman had more than a few such tricks themselves
and carved out a 33 to 6 win over the Huskers here Satur
day afternoon.
A crowd of over 50,000 fans sat
in on the spectacle of the Gophers,
usually strict advocates of straight
hard football, switch to a lightning
fast passing game which produced
a decisive victory in the first game
of the season for both elevens.
UN Scores.
Only once did Bernie Master
son's men get their T formation
working. Nebraska's lone of
fensive splurge began on their
own 33 early in the third quar
ter after Halfback Roy Long took
Sandberg's punt.
Tom Novak and Long moved
the ball past the midfield mark
where Quarterback Sam Vacanti
called on Bill Moomey for ball
toting chores. Moomey dashed 22
yards on a reverse which had the
Gophers baffled, to put the ball
within scoring distance.
Vacanti then tossed the only
pass which the Huskers com
pleted all day to put the ball on
the 16-yard line. Novak charged
to the 10 from where Moomey
again broke loose and sailed
across the goal for Nebraska's
only score.
Jerry Moore's attempted con
version failed and that was all of
the Husker point making for the
afternoon.

day for an NROTC Presidents

naval units in the universities of
the country held a meeting to de
termine policies of the units.
Gustavson and Mathews re
turned to Lincoln yesterday, ac
cording to the university pub
licity office.
Minnesota got off to an early
lead when Leo Nomellini broke
through the Nebraska line to
block Long's attempted punt. The
ball rolled out of the end zone for
an automatic safety.
. It was Ev Faunce, former Iowa
State player, who sparked the Go
pher offense. Faunce entered the
contest early in the first quarter
after starting halfback Tom Cates
was removed because of injuries.
Faunce Stars.
For the remainder of the after
noon the Fergus Falls, Minn., flash
was almost unstoppable. Time and
again he pitched aerial bomb
shells into the Nebraska defenses.
All told, Faunce completed 11 of
12 attempts for a gain of 129
yards.
Passes to Baumgartner and
Sandberg put the ball in scoring
position for the initial Minnesota
touchdown early in the second
quarter. The ball was on the
three yard line when Right Half
back Chuck Avery skirted the
Cornhusker line to score.' Vern
Gagne's placement was perfect
and the Norsemen led 0 to 0 with
six minutes gone.
