alumni who gave the early season game a homecoming atmosphere The pre-game hysteria will be touched off Friday evening when the Nebraska U. students rally around a huge bonfire north of the coliseum. The program, scheduled to get under way. includes talks by Majnr "Biff" Jones, the new Nebraska roach, and Game-captain Johnny Howell, veteran quarterback. As to the game itself, followers of the two teams hardly know what to expect.

Minnesotans, having acclaimed the 1937 Bierman outfit a "wonder team" after its North Dakota State pre-view are awaiting the Nebraska before passing final judgment. Games Always Stubborn. Nebraskans also are a bit reluctant to hazard a guess, in view of the fact that Major Jones, in his debut at Nebraska, is forced to "shoot the works" with a com paratively 1 perienced backfield combination. Ne braska-Minnesota classics of past years have been stubbornly contested ru ggles, Dacked with tense moments EIDONMiLRwy and loaded with thrills. Two years ago at Memorial stadium, the Gophers were forced to make a goal line stand to stave otf defeat.

Last October at Minneapolis, the Cornhuskers duplicated the feat with a gallant defensive per-formar only to lose the game in the dying moments. Andy Gophers' Ace. Andy Uram, with a 75-yard run for the winning touchdown, was the man of the hour in the Nebraska game last year. This same Uram is back in Gopher moleskins this season and with him is a constellation of backfield stars many Minnesotans claim is the most powerful and versatile of the Bierman regime. Nebraska will be outweighed by overwhelming margins in the line and backfield, but Scarlet supporters speak highly of a veteran line and a fighting spirit which in the past has been particularly hard to squelch on home sod.

touchdowns in favor of the Gophers. These probably will be hammered down to eight or nine points before the teams swing into action. Major Jones worries at Nebraska were increased Friday as he viewed the possibility of going into the all-important opener with Bill Andreson, junior fullback, on the sidelines, the victim of practice injury. Andreson showed up lame Thursday afternoon and donned only a sweat suit. Anderson's possible loss is most serious, as he was counted upon to see plenty of fullbacking during the Gopher game.

The Plain- ville, lad also is one of the best punters on the squad and is handy on either end of a forward pass. Stands By Previous Choice. Major Jones announced Friday he would stand by his early choice for a starting lineup. Six of these players were in at the opening kickoff when Nebraska appeared in the Twin Cities last year End Tackles Shirey and Doyle, Guard Mehring, Center Brock and Quarterback Howell. The new faces on the Scarlet eleven are Eldon Mcllravy, Sopho more fullback; Jack Oodd, half back, who won a minor letter two years agj; Harris Andrews, major letter winner at a halfback position last season; End Richardosn and Guard Lowell English, who won major letter recognition last year.

Mile Hike to Hotel. Optimistic but determined, the Gophers started their day with a brisk mile hike from the union station to their hotel in order to work up an appetite. Their morning program was light, with quarterback meetings and a chalk talk to the team before lunch. Noncommltal as always on the eve of a game, Coach Bierman expressed concern as to whether the Gophers would be able to negotiate the Cornhusker line Trainer Lloyd Stein of the Minnesota crew reported all of the big squad in A-l physical condition. Secret practice was on the afternoon program, with the Minnesotans scheduled to run through a light drill behind locked gates at Crelghton stadium.

Many Nebraska followers always have rated Borg as one of the super centers of Cornhusker history. $55 Appooroino fh4 ItgNII THE pulling power of college football! What the greatest contributing factor? Various theories and reasons might be set forth in explanation.

As for the scribbler of this column, it ever has seemed that the gridiron game derives much of its popularity from the fact that it is staged on a college campus in a college atmosphere and played by amateurs for sheer love of the sport spiced by that extra touch of strenuousncss which makes it the ideal diversion both for players and spectators. As to its pulling power in Lincoln, seat of the University of Nebraska there can be no doubt of that.
