BY CUB CLEM.
The chancellor and the univer
sity faculty are standing solidly
behind the 'Huskers. The sports
writers of Lincoln and Omaha,
more power to them, have written
stirring editorials in an attempt to
rally the Icbraska football team
back from the doldrums. The
coaches are injecting some of their
spirit into the team, as witness
Monday's spirited drill. And the
players themselves seem a little
chagrined at their showing against
Iowa State and are resolved to do
tetter against Notre Dame.
All that remains is for the stu
dent body to show a little of the
famous Cornhusker spirit. Time
was when the 'Huskers trotted on
to the field against foes like No
tre Dame and Minnesota, and the
other strong teams with the deaf
ening roar of the students ringing
in their ears. At times this loud
support was the only thing that
pulled them thru some of their
harder battles.
Battle Spirit Needed.
Since 1940, Nebraska has not
had a team of "Top Ten" stand
ing. This is no reason for Nebras
ka fans to loose their spirit. Now
is when the team needs our un

Experimental Theatre Opens
Season With One-Act Plays
The Actor's Laboratory will
open the 1947-43 season at 7:00
p. m. Thursday, Oct. 10, room
201, Temple building, when the
curtain rises on three one-act
plays, "Trifles," "Indian Sum
mer" and "The Lovely Miracle."
Students enrolled in the ad
vanced speech classes present the
Actor's Laboratory productions in
order to gain practical experience
in acting and directing. There is
no admission charge.
"Trifles," adapted by Susan
Glaspel from her short story, "A
Jury of Her Peers," is concerned
with the gradual uncovering of a
crime, its motive, and the conflict
between the law and sympathetic
farm women. The cast includes
D. Anne Richardson as Mrs.
Peters; Phyllis Baldridge as Mrs.
Hale; Richard Toof as Louis Hale;
Jack Wenstrand as Country At

boys down now.
Game Captain Tom Novak led
the team thru the practice Mon
day with a lot of gusto, and with
his leadership we can be sure that
the team will never give in. How
about you?
A fact that may be escaping
many Husker fan? is that Nebras
ka has one of the best records in
the country against the Irish, com
piled during some of Notre Dame's
best years, years when the immor
tal George Gipp and the famous
"Four Horsemen" galloped across
the gridiron. In eleven games, Ne
braska won five, lost five and tied
the odd game. They beat the
"Four Horsemen" two out of three.
Nobody did as good as that! ! ! !
After the 17-0 Nebraska victory
of 1925 the series was closed be
cause of the dangerous partisan
ship of many of the fans.
Yell King Martin Pesek has an
nounced a rally for Thursday
night at -7:30, starting at the steps
of the Union and proceding to the
C. B. & Q. station, where the
team will entrain.
The Innocents will turn out en
masse.
Let's all get out and give them
a good sendoff.

vealing the trend of the times,
is shown by the fact that only
one member of the squad, Don
Jensen, is unmarried.
