, RE Advertiser Photo by David Yamada The Big Red: man, they were all over the field and the stands. Cornhuskers: they were just EVERYWHERE! By JIM RICHARDSON Advertiser Assistant City Editor A cornhusker, folks, is a person from Nebraska who thinks it is more blessed to give than to receive. Some of those critters visited old Honolulu Stadium last night and, sure enough, gave all they had to the University of Hawaii Rainbows. The University took it, too, in the finest spirit of aloha: they lost 45 to 3 and Nebraska is still No. 1. But that's only part of the story. BY 7:30 last night the stadium squirmed under the weight of a capacity crowd of 23,002, many of whom showed up just to say they were there. You know, like this was some great moment in history and they wanted to be able to say years from now, "back in December of '71 I was at the old Honolulu Stadium when . . ." Then there were even those, who really thought BEAT Nebras- Hawaii ka. It's the optimism that comes from all that lovely sunshine we have. We didn't think that for long, though. NEBRASKANS were almost everywhere, all dressed in red and with "Go Big Red", printed on the back their shirts. They were sitting almost everywhere in the stadium, in sections of hundreds each. About the only place not saturated with red was the University's stretch of stands on the mauka side. There was even a represee HUSKERS on A-6, col. 1
