Monday, November 2, 1959 Page 2 The Daily Nebraskan " i I I v A Editorial Comment: What Can What can you say when a team draws and draws and draws oh guts and heart and spirit and upsets a team with a name that fairly rings of magic-Oklahoma? Great game, guys? Congratulations? Hardly. But in the stands you can yell your heads off. You can watch the entire game on your feetnever noticing once that some body keeps stepping on you, or that the foreign student behind you gets so excited he hit? you over the head. You can stie rallies at every possible moment like Saturday at the Governor's, like Sunday at Jennings and on to the Governor's Man sion again. You can ride all over town with horns blaring forth with the howl of victory. But somehow, even with special parties scheduled Sunday with the Italian Village rocking with the sound of Congo lines with all the breakfast table talk at the Cornhusker about the. Husker victory even this doesn't tell the whole story of the energy that this one victory unleased. It doesn't really explain the feeling that prompted someone who'd been around for a long, long time to say in a sort of a dazed way, "I've never been so proud to be from the University of Nebraska." People don't often say that. We're noted for our apologetic air. It's hard for us to really believe, and believe for a long tim that we have all the ingredients of win- No Rag Tomorroiv There will be no Daily Nebraskan Tues day. Like the rest of the campus, the staff of the Daily Nebraskan will vacation Mon day. The staff worked long hours Sunday afternoon gathering the material to re cord the victory so that when we're all alums ourselves, we can drag out our bat- . tered issue to show our kids how we cele brated back in the good old days when Nebraska broke the 74-game no-conference games lost streak piled up by Okla homa. 1 The Nebraskan will resume publication with Wednesday's publication. The editors and staff would like to add their voices to the throngs cheering the team that made such a splendid showing Saturday. You Say i 9 9 9 ning not just on the football field, but in the whole big stadium of living. It takes something tremendous to un lock the enthusiasm that we keep bridled lest we be criticized for being juvenile or rash or wantonly optimistic. Maybe what it takes is a victory that makes the headlines of every sports page in the country. Maybe it takes something . this symbolic the defeat of mighty Okla homato make us yell out loud among ourselves what we don't mind saying among strangers that we are proud of Nebraska and proud to atteild this school. Heads are high in Lincoln today. Heads are high all over the state. Several students from out-of-state called their alum parents Saturday after the vic tory to hear the shrieks of disbelief fol lowed by demands to hear a play-by-play. As students asked the Chancellor for the day off which he had already prom isedsomeone entering the Administra tion Building hollered, "ask for the sec retaries too." It's hard to tell enough of what hap pened to the campus and to the state dur ing and after the game. It's hard to re port all reactions all the excitement. The most you can say is that Nebraska won. To the Husker team on the field Sat urday went the opportunity to snap one of the most fabulous win streaks in the his tory of sports. Somebody asked if we were going to write an epitaph of a dynasty. No. The joy that grabbed the campus and lifted it to the top of the Carillion tower Saturday, Sunday and today is joy at our victory, not at Oklahoma's defeat. They are still a fine team perhaps not the team of two or three years back, but nev ertheless a great team. Bill Jennings made the classic com ment Sunday to a group of some 200 who assembled to once again roar their ap proval. He thanked the students for stay ing with the team in their defeats, and asked that they continue to do so. One game doesn't make a season. One game does, though, shpw the depths of heart which a team can display. It shows the emotional involvement of a student body for the team that bears its name. It shows that Nebraska Is Indeed a winner. From the editor's desk: On Campuses 'n Things i Y V By Diana Maxwell One man was giving Bill Jennings real competition for the title of most happy man on campus Saturday afternoon. He's the steely grey-haired gentleman who directs this whole show from an of fice on third floor of the Administration building. After Saturday's game a small delegation of stu dents stood near Chancel lor Clifford Hardin's white car for 15 or 20 minutes waiting to confirm the promise made two years ago that classes would be called off the day we beat Oklahoma. Diana Mrs. Hardin and the Hardin children arrived. She confirmed the word that classes were off, but the delegation had to hear it from the man himself. She said he had gone down to the dressing rooms to congratulate the team and the coaches. Then, nearly three-quarters' of an hour after the final gun of the game, the Chan cellor arrived. His step was jaunty to put it mildly. If pride can ooze, it was from his face. He had already given the word. No school Monday. At the half, -with the Huskers trailing 12-14, the Chancellor said he had felt that this just might be the day. He had alerted the police then to expect a jubilant crowd perhaps a parade downtown. Innocents president Dave Godbey nodded. The chancellor had said during the half-time ceremonies on the field to the group of mystics assembled that it looked like this was to be the day which would fulfill his promise made after the basketball victory over' Kansas two years ago. He had been so confident that the Husker team on the field wouldn't let down that he had checked with the Board of Regents to make sure that dismissing classes would meet with their approval. Nothing was coming through coherently after the first two minutes of the game. The crowd was hysterical even in those first few minutes when the Sooners plowed down for the first touchdown. NEVER has a Husker team wanted to win so badly. NEVER has a stadium ifeld a crowd that lived every second of a game as intensely as the 34,000 packed inU Memorial Sta lium Saturday. NEVER a more excitingly tense game. And amid the talk of the player stars, two real stars showed themselves to be gentlemen cf the highest rank. One was the fabulous Bud Wilkinson, defeated in his first conference game of 75 starts. The other was a one-time assistant coach of Bud's. In the midst of the mob that gushed on to the field to uproot goalposts and shriek triumph for the team, Wilkinson crossed the field half-way to congratulate Jen nings. And Jennings came the other half. It takes a big man to accept a defeat the way Wilk'nson did. And it takes a fine man to accept his triumph in the re strained way Jennings the man who has had to accept so many defeats did, with tightly contained pride. Daily Nebraskan .

It's a crowd that gives a team a standing ovation when the try for a two point conversion fails. It's an exhausted 'Pat Fischer who fights those yards towards the goal with two Sooners on his back. ' It's a group of students, grappling with goal posts, monuments to the fall of a dynasty. It's a coach, calm al ways and still calm as his team squashed the longest conference win record in history. And it's a chancellor, as overjoyed fes his students, who temembers a promise made two years ago. Cletched Hands All these things and more will mark Nebraska's over whelming upset over Okla homa. The ctenched hands, as fans prayed for the clock to move nearer the final gun, the closed eyes, when an Oklahoma player tried for a long run, the back-slapping as Nebraska movedi nearer victory with another touchdown. But it's wonder too, as the massive crowd remains long after the final gun has sounded. People look at each other, at the scoreboard and back again, with the frequent cry of "We did it!" The- turf turns brown under the trample of thou sands of feet, and the band echoes the feeling of the crowd -with "Hail to t h e Team." A Still They. Stay And still the peopte stay, savoring the score, the ex citment and the exaltation of a great in the halls of football victories. And finally they begin to leave, to relive the time Nebraska beat Oklahoma 25 to 21. Regents Exams Are Wednesday More than 4,700 seniors in approximately 450 high schools are expected to take state-wide University Regents examinations Wednesday- This is a record number, according to Mrs. Jane Wen dorff, who is in charge of scholarships awards at the University.
