CHALLENGING CHEERLEADERS Yell King Martin Pesek and Comely Betty Aasen and Cherie
Viele complete "The Echo" with a leap and a loud "NEBRASKA!"
BY RALPH STEWART
Coach Beinie Masterson's in
jury-plagued Coinhuskers went off
stage Thursday night prior to the
traditional battle with Coach
Bcrnie Bierman's Golden Minne
sota Gophers Saturday afternoon
at 2:00 in Memorial Stadium.
The Huskers, after a disastrous
practice week, will enter the
twenty-ninth battle between the
two clubs in the underdog role.
This week has been one of woe
for the Nebraska coaching staff.
While Masterson has been trying
to solve a shortage at the vital
quarterback spot all season, in
juries during the week presented
him with shortages in two other
positions.
Monday night Line Coach Tony
Blazine lost the services of re
serve center Jim Thomson. And
Wednesday night Mike DiBiase,
rugged tackle, was carried from
the field with a badly damaged
knee.
Center Spot Weakened
Thomson suffered a broken foot
while scrimmaging with the Nub
bins and will be lost for the sea
son. His loss weakens the pivot I
spot with only Tom Novak and
With "Mash Minnesota" and
Get the Gophers" as the rally
theme, plans are nearing comple
tion for the first football rally of
the year, Yell King Martin Pesek
announced today.
Opening gun for the pep meeting
will be fired Friday morning when
Corn Cobs and Tassels will cover
the campus with signs calling at
tention to the rally.
The clanging of the Victory Bell
will call students to the Union
steps at 7:30 Friday night. There
the Pep Band will be assembled to
add tempo and color. Ied by the
band and members of Corn Cobs.
Tassels an the yell squad, a rally
parade will circle the university
district calling out members of or
ganized houses along the way. .
Returning to thee Union, stu

ball-suapping chores. Novak, aft
er taking a rough beating in the
Indiana opener, may be available
for only limited service against
the Gophers. Reserve Gail Gade
is still out with a bum knee.
DiBiase was also injured in a
skirmish with the Nubbins. Big
Mike dislocated his knee, tearing
out the ligaments and will have
to wear a cast for four to six
weeks. His absence creates a def
inite problem for Blazine. Di
Biase tBrned in a strong defensive
performance against the Hoosiers
and his loss will be keenly felt.
Plays Dual Role
Masterson may have to perform
a reconversion' job with Quarter
back Joe Partington. The 109
pound regular 1946 pivot man
may be called on to believe both
the center ' spot and the signal
calling position.
Del Wiegand, who shouldered
the entire field generalship in the
Indiana tilt, appears the only full
time "T handler Masterson has
to count on with the exception of
Partington.
Dick Thompson has been work

dents will h(A4 the pre-game rally
itself. Guest speakers and com
plete plans are still unannounced
but Pesek has promised inspira
tion for student spirit.
"The rest is up to the students
themselves," he said. "They can
show just how much enthusiasm
and pep they have by turning out
in big numbers." Pesek has al
ready asked all organized houses
scheduling hour dances on Friday
night to change dance times to
6.30 p.m. to as not to conflict with
the rally. The rally must start at
7:30, he has pointed out, so that
students may go from there to the
projected street dance downtown
at 8:30 p.m.
Plans for the street dance have
been nearly completed by the Lin
coln Junior Chamber of Com
nrtrce. The dance will be held on

allowed to partiwpate in contact
work because of his injured knee.
It will be limited service, if any,
for Thompson.
"Big and Rough"
Because the Gophers used an
assortment of only four different
plays in squeezing past the Wash
ington Huskies 7-6 last week,
little is known of their offensive
power. But End Coach Ray Pio
chaska who scouted the Minne
sota opener, found out one thing
about Bierman's Norsemen
"They're big and rough."
Although the Silver Fox has
been moaning ovr his light back
field, the Gopher ball totcrs will
top the Husker's running quar
tet by. 13 pounds per man. The
Husker forwards hold an eight
pound edge over a starting Goph
er line headed by Center Clayt
Tonnemaker and Tackle- Dean
Widseth.
Guard Fred Lorenz will be the
only change in the Husker start
ing lineup. The veteran Lorenz
will take over Gene Wilkin's spot
and will captain the Scarlet crew
See Huskers, Page 6, Col. 5.
Nebraska band will furnish rally
music and coaches will be inter
viewed for the radio, the Junior
Chamber has announced. The or
chestras of Dave Haun and Gay
Feistcr will provide dance music
from 8:30 to 11:30 p.m.
Folk in Costume
Members of the Lincoln Council
of Folk and Square Dancing have
been asked to attend the street
dance in costume. Folk dancing
has been planned from 9:30 to
10:00 p.m. and will be resumed
later in the evening.
Success of this initial experi
ment by the Lincoln Junior Cham
ber of Commerce will determine
whether the event will become an
annual affair to honor the Corn
huskers, according to Chairman
Glen Yaussi of the Jaycees. Streets
in the dance area will be cleared
at 5:30 Friday evening.

Hit Nation's
Food Waste
BY FRAN SMITH
The average American's three
basic ideas about eating chiefly
responsible for the nation's was
tage of food, according to tvo ex
perls on the staff of the Univer
sity Food and Nutritin laboratory,
are carelessness in thhe kitchen,
socially judging the lady next
door by the way she cn cook.
and "finicky ' eating habits.
"We've always had so much to
eat that the average American
housewife has seldom felt the
need to be careful with food. She
doesn't take the time to plan
meals carefully, and buy wisely,"
Dr. Josephine Brooks said.
Too Much Rich Food
Dr. Ruth Levcrton says that it's
housewives by the kind of meul.i
they servt. The result is compe
an American cu.stom to judge
tition which causes the ladies to
make food too rich and in too
great quantity. "This habit of
foisting food on our friends is
going to achieve only one thing
a bumper crop of fat people," Dr.
Leverton said.
The two sypes of finicky eaters
have been condemmed by the ex
perts those who demand parts of
the vegetable when all is nutri
tious and edible, and those who
relish the idea of rejecting per
fectly good food. Such people are
called "spoiled children" and
won't discipline their minds to
liking some foods. Persons witfl
allergies to certain foods art exempted.
