the show below gave all indication that University of Nebraska football has again returned to the masses. It was a comforting feeling to glance across the field and see a full east stadium, complete with enough banners and color to make up for all those empty wartime years. Then there 17 Nebrasks high school bands on hand to add pre-game and half-time entertainment as the Huskers opened their home season by trouncing the Kansas State I Wildcats DR. R. G.

GUSTAVSON, new university chancellor, opened the game by tossing in the first football. Often rumored as a crack baseball player in his day. Dr. Gustavson showed enough form spiraling in the ball that he may be called to assist Sam Vacanti or Dick Thompson one of these days. For his effort, the chancellor 1 was rewarded with an i (his initials) spelled out by the varsity band.

around the track game were high Marching before the school bands from Auburn, Beatrice, Crete, Fairmont, Genoa, Hebron, Humboldt, Lincoln, Northeast, Kearney, Red Cloud, Superior, Scottsbluff, Table Rock. West Point and Fairbury. Especially impressive to the west stadium onlookers were several card tricks, performed in mid-season form by the Husker student section during the half. Press observers who attended the Minnesota game a week ago noted that the murky weather was exactly the same kind of a day that held forth at Minneapolis. There was some difference in the Husker play, however.

The main difference, with acknowledgment that the Kansas State line was many notches below the Minnesota forwards, was the improvement of the Husker passing attack. QUARTERBACKS Dick Thompson, Sam Vacanti and Fred Metheny hit six of the nine aerials they tossed during the day. Metheny had a perfect three-three record, Thompson two of four and Vacanti nailed one of two receivers. one completion, however, ranked as the outstanding play of the day. The toss went to Dick Hutton for the 56-yard touchdown play.

The top Cornhusker ground- gainer Hutton with 61 yards in six attempts for a 9.0 average. Halfback Jim Myers ranked next with 46 yards in nine outings for a 5.0. Tom Novak had 30 yards in five attempts for a 4.9 and Roy Long averaged 9.2 yards with 29 yards in three ball-carrying sorties. Long, after doing yeoman work in the punting department at Minneapolis, finally found relief in the person of Myers. The speedster handled the kicking late in the rame and booted two for a 31-yard average.

Long averaged 41 yards for his four kicks earlier in the game. Top punter of the day was Karl Kramer, whose seven punts 6 for the Wildcats totaled 317 viraiem msouukj i yards and averaged 48. The Olathe, kicker had the Huskers in a hole several times, once when he punted out on the two-yard line. RIO NIX. NebraHka 21.
