What is Cornhusker spirit?
For many years we have heard of the Cornhusker
spirit of days gone by and how it was known the nation
over. We were told of numerous episodes of school loyalty
and tne synonymous use
and "spirit." It was always, "School spirit reaches its peak
at Nebraska."
When we arrived at the University three years ago,
we came with the typical enthusiasm of high school seniors.
But more important we also had the feeling of wanting
to be a part ot that cornhusker spirit.
We were sadly disappointed in the years that followed,
For as far as we could determine the Cornhusker spirit
, we naa neara so mucn about was apparently lacking. Our
imaginative thoughts of shouting students and tremendous
rallies were not converted to realism on the campus. There
just wasn't proof for all the stories we had listened to so
many times.
Then we began to wonder what Cornhusker spirit is.
What is the intangible Something that presents itself on
and off the football field? What motivates 2,000 people
to trek to Minnesota, 3,000 to Colorado and 5,000 to Kan-
- o Tirv.i. . i i iittt , ... . ....
sas; vYnat mases peopie say, - wait until next week, in
stead of, "Well, we lost again." What places the prospects
of Nebraska football in the conversation of everyone?
What gives the feeling of belonging to a good University?
We still do not know the answers to these questions.
We cannot point directly to one or two things and label
them as Cornhusker spirit. . It is a multitude of factors
blended together and each contributing its full share.
. Whatever it is, everyone of us is experiencing its
revival But actually the spirit of this University never
disappeared completely. For manv war and cost-war
years it nas lam dormant ana untouched. It has taken
the combined efforts of a winning team, outstanding play
ers like Bobby Reynolds and a respected and capable man
. 1
namea rsiu jiassiora to awanen the spirit known to Corn
huskers ten years ago.
What is Cornhusker spirit? We don't know. But we
. are extremely proud that we are a part of it.
Victory Bell, Rivalry Symbol,
At Stake in Saturday's Game
Nebraskans will be hoping that
the Victory Bell, the symbol of
Cornhusker-Tiger rivalry for the
past 22 years ill again return
to is place in the "N" Club
room.
Since 1928. the bell has been
presented to the winner of the
Nebraska-Missouri football game.
Since Missouri won the bell with
a 7-6 victory in 1927, Nebraska
has won the beE 11 times, while
Missouri has taken possession 10
times and the Huskers retained
the bell on two occasions because
of a tie.
Nebraska has gained possession
of the bell only once since the
Rose Bowl-bound 1940 team de
feated Missouri. That was in 1944,
when the Cornhuskers upset the
Tigers 24-20.
Bell Stolen
The bell was originally stolen
in the 1890's by members of Phi
Delta Theta and Delta Tau Delta
fraternities, who at that time
shared the same house. The exact
origin of the bell is uncertain.
Some people claim that it was
Connert Planned
By Music Groups
Combination of the University
professional music organizations
will highlight a choral concert to
be presented Nov. 9.
The combined groups will pre
sent their annual program in the
Union ballroom at 8 p.m. No ad
mission will be charged for the
concert.
Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, fra
ternity, Sigma Alpha Iota. Delta
Omicron, and Mu Phi Epsilon,
sororities, are the organizations
that will put the program.
The concert will be directed by
Dale Ganz. instructor in the
School of Music.
In previous years each of the
organizations has presented its
own program. This is the first
year that a combination of the
groups is being tested.
The purpose of the professional
music organization is to build up
musicianship.
A program of the choral con
cert will be released later.

taken from a country church near
Seward. Others say that it was
the bell which hung in the old
University hall. Still others in
sist that it was taken from a
boarding house which used the
bell to call it tenants to meals.
At any tate. the bell was a
source of conflict between the
fraternities for more than 30
years. One or other of the two
groups would forcibly take pos
session of the bell periodically.
In the spring of 1928. the two
groups staged a hand to hand
fight in a local hotel for the bell.
Suggestion by Schulte
Henry F. Schulte, track coach
at Nebraska, and formerly a
coach at Missouri, saw in the bell
a possible symbol of football riv
alry between the two big seven
opponents. He suggested the mat
ter to the Innocents society, who
agreed to sponsor presentation of
the belL
The motto, "Tiger-Huskers,
who win or lose gloriously," was
inscribed on a plaque and placed
on the bell. The bell itself rests
on an oak platform, which has
the final score of every Nebraska-Missouri
game since 1927
carved on it.
Fritz Daly, Secretary of the
Nebraska Alumni association and
at that time president of the In
nocents, presented the bell to
Frank Knight, president of the
Missouri student body federation,
on Oct. 27, 1928 to begin the riv
alry. The Missouri and Nebraska
captains shook hands over the
bell before the game began. After
the game had ended in a 24-0
Cornhusker victory, the Missouri
captain carried the bell over to
the Nebraska team.
Rope Attached
A rope was attached to the
clapper to allow it to be rung. It
was rung loudly at the first pre
sentation in 1928. Bob Raun,
president of the Innocents society
will make this year's presenta
tion of the bell to representatives
of the Missouri student body.
This will be in recognition of
Missouri's 21-20 win over the
Cornhuskers in 1949.
The bell will be presented Im
mediately before the game, fol
lowing the playing of the "Star
Spangled Banner."
Small Replicas
A number of smaller replicas
of the bell have been made and
will sell for 50 cents, Dick Kuska
chairman, announced. These will
be small cow bells, which will bt
rung as Nebraska comes out of
the huddle in the game. These
will be used, not only for the
homecoming, but for all Ne
braska games.
The Corn Cobs and Tassels
hope to intensify student spirit
with the bells. Kuska said. Cobs
and Tassels are selling the bells
now. They have small University
decals on them.

Campus Cop Reminisces
About Career
From dashing cow-hand to
plodding University cop.
That's been the story for Don
E. Whiteford, one of the patrol
men who make the lonely rounds
on the city campus after dark.
At another time and place, he
was known as Rex Ford, Holly
wood cowboy.
Wbiteford or Ford, if you
prefer rode stirrup to stirrup
with William Boyd through a
whole series of Hopalong Cassidy
pictures, made before World War
II.
Ford played the part of
"Lucky," the young Bar-20 cow
hand who provided some of the
romantic interest in the Hop

High
Frequency
By Art Epstien
According to people in the
know, audience reaction toward
station ,TU is reaching a new
peak. E by day the number
of studei j who listen to the
University's radio station is
climbing. This,
of course,
shows that the
programs ori
ginating from
the Temple
building are on
an equal plane
with the shows
that come ov
er the down
town Lincoln
stations.
One of the
r ia
Art Epstien
reasons that KNU is going over
so big is the Friday show "FOOT
BALL REVIEWS." Reviews is
co-authored, produced, and nar
rated by Dick Root and Clarence
Wundinger. The program is a
good one for the parley card
players to listen to since -Dick
and "Clar" predict eight foot
ball scores of the week. Usually
the predictions are for Big Sev
en games, in addition to other
outstanding games of the week.
To date the men are riding on
the high average of .816. "Re
views" also give the probable
starting line-ups for all the Ne
braska games, and also the
starters for the opposition. To
show the football team that their
feats do not go unnoticed, Dick
features a story of the player
of the week. Also, to show that
the teams that the Huskers have
not been push overs, the men
give the statistics of the oppon
ents of the previous game. So
that the program is not all chat
ter, "Football Reviews" plays a
University fight song. If you like
to have all the dope about the
Huskir footrnli team hear Dick
Root and Clarence Wundinger

"The Mummy'd Foot" will be
this week's play for "AUTHORS
OF THE AGES." This spine chill
ing drama envolves. the narrator
who purchases a mummy's foot
for a paper weight. The narra
tor, unidentified throughout the
plot has a dream that the mum
my wants to redeem her Jeg.
Mr. "X" willingly returns the
leg to the mummy. Because he
is so nice about the whole til
fair the mummy agrees to take
the hero back through the ages
to meet her father, an Egyptian
pharoah. The ending has a novel
twist that everyone is sure to
enjoy.
In tonight's cast will be Bob
Duckworth as the narrator, Jack
Lange as the dealer, Jan Crilly
as the Egyptian princess, and
Bob Spearman as the Pharoah.
Instead of the usual student di
rector for tonight's show, Mr.
Jorgensen will double as director-producer.
That's all, Paul.
Mistakes Made
By Others Too!
f
The Daily Nebraskan isn't the
only paper that makes mistakes!
This paragraph was found in the
Oct. 6th edition of the Iowa State
Daily.
"If you love a parade, there
will be three tif them. All pa
rades will begin at 6:45 p.m.
from different campus and Dog
town locations, but will eventu
ally meet In front of Beardshear
hall for the wlndup."

always trying to get the gal, and
losing out," says Ford.
Ford played in so many "oat
'ers," as the horse operas are
called in Hollywood, that he has
forgotten the exact count. The
last two in which he played, be
fore military service interrupted,
were "Lost Canyon" and "Burn
ing Leather."
"William Boyd was one of the
nicest guys I ever had the pleas
ure of meeting or working with,"
comments Ford.
Honest Cowhand
No drugstore cowboy, Ford
or Whiteford worked as an
honest cowhand on a California
ranch for years before drifting
toward Hollywood. His job?
Mostly roping and branding, he
says. After that, Whiteford
worked at a Palm Springs dude
ranch, "just wranglm' dudes!"
Then came jobs at Hollywood
stables, work as an extra in
westerns made at California stu
dios, bit parts, and finally sec
ond leads.
Thus WThiteford was no strang
er to horses when his chance
came to make money before the
cameras. Most of the spectacu
lar shots were left to experts,
for he says, "chases and falls
were done by doubles."
Uncle Sam called time on
Whiteford's movie career. He
served through the war in the
81st division. After the war he
was a cowboy without a job, and
drifted from Los Angeles back
to Lincoln. He was born and
raised in Havclock.
Whiteford has been a good
many things since the war, in
cluding a paperhanger, an auto
mechanic, and at present a
campus cop. "I plan to go back
to California as soon as I can
sell my house here," he says.
Perhaps Ford will again ride
the range before Hollywood
cameras.

"Tricks or treats" chirped three
youthful male Haloweeners at
the Phi Psi door Monday night.
When a Phi Psi informed them
that they were a day too early
and to come back later, they
quickly chorused "Oh, we don't
want candy. We just want to see
Bobby Reynolds!"
A little too old for tricks and
treating, the Alpha Chi's learned
their lesson this year. The Delts
served them graham crackers
topped with shaving cream.
The Delta Gamma's were also
Haloweened, A mysterious voice
warned them every 15 minutes
on the telephone that their Home
coming decorations would be
demolished. The calls lasted from
10 p.m. until 1 a.m.

Thetas Claim
WAA Soccer
Championship
Thetas powerfully kicked their
way to the soccer-baseball cham
pionship Monday night. Their
last undefeated opponents were
easily downed with a final score
of 9-1.
Sneaking their way around
bases, Ann Mockett and Leslie
Grainger started the game off
with a bang and a lead. Making
3 points,' Mockett was high scorer
of the game. Dorothy Paynter,
and Grainger added 2 points to
the score. Nancy Noble completed
a run of the bases.
Things looked bad for the
Delta Gamma's from the very
first. Their first three innings
were short and snappy with three
outs in quick succession. In the
second inning a player succeeded
in getting to first. During the
game five players gained three
bases. Many would-be scorers
were caught off third as an out
was made.
Thetas scored in every inning
except the third. In the last bases
were loaded during most of the
play and 4 points were made.
Most spectacular play of the
game was Ginny Koch's belly
slide to first. When the dust
finally settled all could see her
fingertips firmly touching the
base.
Thetas now possess the WAA

plaque which hangs in the gym
