It is that weekend when happiness is not a warm blanket but a exposition of patriotic emotion. It is Homecoming Weekend. And it all started with a football game that everyone should get excited about once a year. A Homecoming victory over a weaker team is a great triumph. If students could make every game a Homecoming spirit, every game would be an important victory. But must we always allude to tradi tional excuses to really back the football team? The loss of Willie Ross for the Colorado game is going to hurt Willie, as well as being the team's leading rusher, is an inspirational ball player. His unique natural combina tion of speed and power has made him a favorite of every Husker crowd. He hasn't scored, but he hasn't had to. Nearly every play-by-play of important Nebraska drives this season show that Willie Ross was a major contributor. He will be sorely missed. His absence, though, will allow Nebraska to display some of the depth that it does have. Maynard Smidt would not only be a capable replacement but a fine halfback Satur day. The probable loss of Monte Kiffin for the Buffalo game Is not good, but his "replacement" is lloyd Voss, starter in the first four games. These observations plus the fact that Dennis Claridge wfll return to the Scarlet helm should give Nebraska a Homeceiring win. Frank Cesarek, the Buffs' better-than- average passer, will be busy, but the Husker pass defense improves with every game.

Nebraskans should learn to day whether or not quarter back Dennis Claridge can play at full capacity against Colorado. Tuesday Claridge practiced with the team, al ternating with Fred Duda and Doug Tucker in guiding the first and alternate units. Center Lyle Sittler, plagued with a sore foot, also was in pads but apears less likely than Claridge to play unhamp ered against Colorado. Claridge should be able to play after only punting last week as Fred Duda, a sopho more starting his first Ne braska varsity game, ably quarterbacked the first team. Duda Directs NU Victory; Earns 'Star' Recognition LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS .nenrst y. -s ifj J if. we can get if for you f0Bi Jt'felessle! Alternate quarterback Fred Duda was a bit discouraged after the Kansas State game last Saturday, but Nebraska fans weren't as Duda led the Huskers to victory to earn this week's Star of the Week Award. Playing for injured starter Dennis Claridge, Duda direc ted two scoring drives and scored once himself while col lecting 47 yards on seven car ries rushing in the victory over the Wildcats, 28 to 6. In the dressing room at Manhattan, Duda was critical of his passing. He had com pleted only 3 of 13 attempts. "I waited too long on the rollout passe s," he said, "and that's why I had some of them blocked by Kansas State linemen." Duda didn't mention that three passes were dropped or that two long touchdown heaves to speedy end Dick Callahan were only inches off The 5-9, 185 pound Chi cago native may start his sec ond varsity game this "Satur day against Colorado if Dennis Cla ridge's knee doesn't heal. Duda, who calls the running pass his favorite play, will be equal to the task. He has Coach Bob De vaney's confidence as the Husker mentor praised him for good play under pressure. Doug Tucker led the second team. Halfback Willie Ross, who received a shoulder separation from the hard-hitting Wild cats, is unlikely to be able to play. Tackle Monte Kiffin is also injured, and Coach De vaney doesn't expect him to be ready to play for another week. Coach Devaney was pleased with the switch of Kent Mc Cloughan to left halfback. Al ternating with Bob Hohn at right halfback, McCloughan will be the fourth choice left halfback if Ross cannot play. Colorado passed for 150 yards against Nebraska last year, and more of the same is expected by Devaney this year. Buffalo quarterback Frank Cesarek, who has com pleted 17 of 30 passes for 268 yards this season, will be back. ' Halfback Bill Symons, who scored t,he touchdown that gave Colorado a 6 to 0 half time lead last year, is Colora do's top receiver with five catches" for hundred yards. Coach Devaney said he feels the Cornhusker pass defense improved greatly against Kan sas State, and he hopes Ne braska will be ready for what ever aerial attack Colorado may have. Both teams have been passed against considerably, with Buffalo oponents com pleting 44 of 109 passes for 551 yards and Nebraska oppo nents completing 45 of 101 for 608 yards.

Excuse, aie, sir, I'm conducting poll for the college newspaper. I wonder if I might ask you a few questions? Be my guest. 2. In your opinion, what are somA of America's most significant achievements in the past 50 years? Huh? 3. Let me put it this way. During the last naif century what new ideas have led to important benefits for the American people? Well, uh-there's the two-platoon system. 4. I'll rephrase the question. Since 1912, what developments can yot think of that have made the lot oi the working man easier? Now you're getting trickjK S. Give it a try. Well, speaking off the top of my head, I might say stretch socks. I'm sure everyone would agree they've been useful. But isn't there something with a bit more social significance that comes to mind? There certainly is. There's Croup Insurance, the principle of which is to help provide protection for those who need it most and can afford it least. Pioneered and developed bv Equitable, it has proved most efficacious, Today, the working man and his family enjoy a broad spectrum of protection provided by Group Insurance, For that reason, I would most emphatically suggest its inclusion among the significant achievements. But I still think the two-platoon system is pretty important For taformation about Living Insurance, see The Man from Equitably For information about career opportunities at Equitable see your Placement Officer, or write to William E.
