Hope for Win
Over Wildcats
"Pass that baton, boy pass it."
That cry if J. C. Pluvius "chief

In an interview with Cornhus
ker track mentor Ed Wier yes
terday, he told yours truly "that
the boys will be out to win a de
cisive victory over the "cats". He
also said that Bob Reese runs
well on Saturdays, but is unable
to turn out a creditable perfor
mance in mid-week trials; if he
does well, however, in today's
race, he will be choosen to run
in the conference meet next
weekend at Manhattan, Kans.
Bossman Wier also said that,
Half Kopf who, as you ronember
suffered a bad knee injury last
year, and is doing a fine job of
overcoming it thus far this sea
son, is slated to be on the cinder
highway this morning if he does
not aggravate it. (Knock on wood
all ye Husker supporters.)
If we win today, we stand a
good chance of taking the con
ference meet. According to Wier,
the boys are going to win today,
and come home a winning team
next week from Manhattan.
Probable starters for today's
"clash" are:
"Wildcats" Geo. Owen, Dean
Kays, Trevor Watson, Phil Brew
ster, Virgil Severns.
"Huskers" Bill Mountford, Don
Morrison, Bob Reese, Jesse Sell,
Hal Kopf, Don Theil.

Colorado Coeds
Wear Beanies Too
Boulder coeds carry on a
freshman beanie tradition sim
ilar to that established among
male students at Nebraska.
Freshmen women at Colorado
university are required to wear
green beanies until the annual
tug-of-war with the sophomore
coeds. If the freshmen are de
feated in the contest, they are
required to wear their beanies
until Christmas, keep off the
Varsity bridge and follow all
other freshman traditions. This
year, as at Nebraska, the sopho
more proved too strong for the
freshmen.

Hoping to avenge all past de
feats ,an aggressive Cornhusker
football team will be out to gar
ner their second victory of the
season at the expense of hapless
Kansas State Saturday.
If the Husker line can live up
to past performances, the Wild
cats' running attack should be
stopped cold. Harold Nevius,
Coach Ralph Graham's top ground
gainer, will be the main cog of
the K-State single-wing offense.
Passing for the Kansans will be
Dana Atkins, who will try to take
advantage of the weak Nebraska
pass defense.
Wildcats I'nable to Score
First downs are an easy pre
mium for the Wildcats, but they
have the inability to score when
deep in their opponent's territory.
They will try to overcome this
weakness by using more of an
air attack along with their ground
offense.
Potsy Clark has been trying to
improve the Husker pass defense.
The Nebraska backs seem to grow
tense when the opposition throws
a pass. The result has been that
they play the receiver instead of
the ball; thus the 16 touchdowns
scored through the air against the
Huskers.
Hawkins Starts
In the line will be some sur
prise starters. Fred Hawkins, who
has been fighting hard in prac
tice, will be at left guard, and
big Mike DiBiase will fill the other
guard slot.
Junior Collopy. Del Wiegand,
Bill Mueller, and Phil Young will
make up the backfield. This unit
has operated smoothly and effec
tively in the last two games.
The appearance of Cletus Fisher
is doubtful, as his leg is still
bothering him. Tom "Trainwreck"
Novak will see only limited duty
at center. In Novak's place will be
Bob Costcllo.
