Crowning of "Hello Girl"
Highlights Tonight's Dance
One of the twenty independent
coeds will be named 1949 "Hello
Girl" at the annual Hello Dance
sponsored by BABW Friday night.
Voting will take place at the
doors of the Union ballroom un
til 10 p. m. The winner will be
presented at 10:30. So that the
candidates will be known to all
voters, an introduction of each
girl will be made at 9:45.
At the same time balloons with
the names of contestants in them
will be released. Lucky fellows
who catch the balloons will have
a chance to dance with the girl
whose name is in the balloon.
Tickets for the dance may be
obtained from an BABW member,
in the booth in the Union, or at
the door before the dance. Ad
mission price is 50 cents.
The ballroom will be decorated
in red and white, with red feath
ers and crepe paper streamers
carrying out the theme.
Since the primary purpose of
the dance is to help students
"get-acquainted," BABW mem
bers wish to stress the fact that
the dance is not necessarily a date

Fans Say
No!, Team
Says Yes!
Thousands of spo'rts writers and
fans say no. The Huskers say yes.
This is the difference of opinion
concerning a Nebraska victory
over powerful Minnesota at Me
morial Stadium Saturday.
On paper the Gophers have one
of the most powerful teams in
Minnesota history with a 21
pound advantage over Nebraska
in the line. Last Saturday the
Golden Gophers proved the dope
sters to be right by crushing
Washington, 48-20.
Nebraska, on the other hand, is
in the rebuilding stage following
the disastrous war years. Great
things are expected from the
Cornhuskers under Bill Glass
ford's rule, but it will take time.
The underdog seems to be
fighting just a little bit harder in
most cases as was illustrated by
the Huskers against Notre Dame
and UCLA in previous years. A
good game is promised and an up
set may be in the offing.
Nebraska has done it before. In
1902 the Scarlet and Cream up
set a good Gopher team enroute
to an un-beaten, unscored upon
season. This game came in the
reign of Coach Bunny Booth, who
led the Huskers to 30 consecutive
victories.
In other top college games Sat
urday the Big Seven will be in
the spotlight. Missouri hopes to
wreck Southern Methodist and
Doak Walker's bowl hopes with a
repeat of last year's 20-14 victory.
Without Bus Entsminger quarter
backing this year, Missouri will
be the underdog. Wajker, gunning
for another All-American year
will be too tough for the Tigers.
Union Plans Two
Dances Saturday
Don't forget the Union's enter
tainment to round out your day
after the Huskers tangle with the
Golden Golfers Saturday. This tip
romcs from the Union Activities
Committee.
A Football Fling will be one
main attraction of the Student
Union open house after the game
from 4:30 to 6 p. m. Students
may dance, without charge, in
the ballroom. Every one is to
"come as you are," regardless of
attire, be it jeans or tuxedos. For
those whose hungers have been
stimulated by a Husker victory,
refreshments will be served.
An informal "Victory" Hop,
from 9 to 12 p. m., will be held
in the ballroom with Fitz Powell
and his orchestra furnishing the
music. Students are invited to
attend either date or stag, the
latter case being cited as the op
portunity for one to "meet your
future mate." Admisison will be
60 cents.
Parlors A, B, and C will be
open for use of lounges and
smokers. I
L "' ; J
"OH, ItF.ALLY!" "No, Oh, Rally!" "Rally? . . . Really?" Yes Really,
a rally:" . . . Husker students pep a rally parade preceding the
South Dakota game last week. Cobs, Tassels, pep squad and band
members expect tonight's rally to
the campus. Lincoln citizens are expected to catch the spirit of the
Rally also, as Nebraska students parade to 13th and O for the
rally. In the plans, too, is a fast and furious snake dance through
the Lincoln streets.
New Cheers to -Boost
oplier Game Spirit
Sure-fire spirit boosters are
planned for Saturday's game with
Minnesota a new "Husker" song
and two new rousing cheers.
The "Fight, Fight" song will be
introduced for the first time at
the game Saturday. Copies of the
new Husker song hit will be
passed out to students prior to
the game. They will be expected
to join in singing it throughout
the game.
The song, which follows below.
was written by the members of
last year's cheeileading squad on
the return trip home from the KU
migration.
The song (words in capitals to
be shouted):
"Oh, FIGHT, FIGHT, sons of
old NU
As we go to meet the foe;
We'll FIGHT, FIGHT, sons of
old NU
As forward, forward, we'll go.
We'll FIGHT, FIGHT, on to vic
tory,
Shaking: thunder from the skies;
We're the loyal sons of Husker
land From dear old Nebraski."
The two new yells for the game
were planned by this year's Yell
King Frank Piccolo and his squad.
"Charge!" (reminiscent of
'Teddy' Roosevelt's' lines in 'Ar
senic and Old Lace) is the theme
of the first yell. The cheer is made
vp merely of that one word. Stu
dents stand as the players rush
from the huddle and at the kick-
thunder a cry of "Victory!" across
off and yell "Charge!" Loud. And
that's it.
The second yell is termed "The
Sky-Rocket. " Instructions for the
cheer are:
"Huskers" (drawn out)
(clap, clap, clap, clap)
"Fiffht, Fifiht, Fight, Fifiht"
(clap, clap, clap, clap)
"Win, Win, Win, Win"
(clap, clap, clap, clap)
"Go, Go, Go, Go"
"Beat" (drawn out)
"Minnesota"
