Addition of in the to the general tournament scheme had its practical angle. Practical because the necessity of offering and paying substantial prize money to the winning floats in the Rose Parade was placing a steadily increasing burden on the commercial interests of Pasadena, How to best acquire the funds needed to properly finance the Rose Parade was pressing problem. Football was the gridiron game Involving two of the most prominent collegiate teams, the contest to be staged in a bowl or stadium of seating capacity sufficient to produce a financial harvest of such proportions as would cover stadium construction costs, spread over a term of years, and the additional expenses involved In the general tournament program.

During the run of the years since that first bowl battle of 1916, football followers in every nook and corner of the nation have formed a fixed of watchfully anticipating the selection of the Rose Bowl contestants and the outcome of a New day game w'hich is everywhere accepted as a fitting climax to the gridiron campaign In intercollegiate circles. Although some of the prominent educational institutions in the mid-west and the east have officially frowned on post-seaaon football activities, there can be no gainsaying the assertion that to be selected to play in the Rose Bowl is rated generally in the educational realm as a privilege of high distinction. Most as.suredly.

the Nebraska public so esteems the present nomination of the Corn- hnskers, inasmuch as it was the pressure of public opinion throughout the state which factored in large measure in the decision of Uni- vetslty of Nebraska authorities to accept the invitation extended by Stanford U.

Rose Bowl bound Cornhuskers, who at this point practically are snow bound, have only three days to wait before they hit the trail for Phoenix, Arizona, and a climate much more suitable for football.

Hard Hit By Weather. Even though a deep blanket of snow was scraped off the Memorial stadium field to allow an outdoor workout Saturday aft the uskers realize a satisfying drill. And they function in the cramped te rs underneath the stadium either. The Saturday footing was much too slippery for the squad members to let go with the EUGENE UTTiEi i ck Opening plays of Stanfords T-formation and the icy wind that brought only more snow blended into the unfavorable setting. Starting today and for the three other practice sessions that are left on the slate before the Husker special rolls out tor a sunnier clime, Major forces will be compelled to cope with most unfavorable conditions.

Eight Days At Phoenix. Should they take their efforts outside, which now seems to be impossible, the cold and snow will hamper them. Should they remain indoors, the cramped quarters are on hand to handicap them further. In the Arizona capital city, eight practice days will be available. Several of the sessions may find the Cornhuskers in scrimmage against Dixie Arizona State Bulldogs, who are already holding regular drills for their New day encounter with Western Reserve of Cleveland in El Sun Bowl.

The Nebra.ska party will leave Phoenix on Saturday, Dec. 28, for Pasadena and the final few days of training before the game with the undefeated and untied Indians of Stanford. Basketmen Meet Kentucky. While the Cornhuskers are putting their final touches on their home practice this week, W. H.

Nebraska cage sqwad lines itself up to entertain a pair of highly rated foes. Wednesday night, the Kentucky U. Mountaineers, perennial champions of their district, invade the coliseum to attempt to give the Huskers a lesson in the art of dunking the casaba into the meshed hoop. The Minnesota Gophers are scheduled to appear this coming Saturday night and that contest concludes the final home game of the year for the Cornhuskers. On Sunday night, A.

J. Lewandowski will lead the Huskers westward, where they will exchange baskets with California, Stanford and Oregon State. Nebraska returns home for the initial game of the new year against Wisconsin, Jan. 4. Gene Littler Heads South.

The flashiest member of Coach Ed track and field champions also is slated to go into action soon. Eugene Littler, multiple point winner and indoor and outdoor titleholder in the Big Six conference, will appear in the Sugar Bowl track carnival to be held in New Orleans. Littler has accepted an invitation to compete in a special quarter-mile race that will be run on Sunday, Dec. 29. He will be unaccompanied on the trip, as Coach Weir will travel with the football team for the purpose of taking pictures.

Littler will return after the Sugar Bowl game laetween Tennessee and Boston college on New Year's day. BASKET DEVICE CUTS SCORING Use of New Bankboord Is Hailed As Detriment To Point-making. Rose Bowl Queen. Stanford Trails In Bowl Record A nalysis of the above results indicates that Southern California has been most successful of the Rose Bowl array. The Trojans, to be specific, have gone to the bowl on six occasions and compiled as many triumphs.

Leadership in the roster of invaders belongs to Alabama, which has sent five of its teams to the bowl and emerged with four victories. In four trips to the bowl, the Panthers of Pitt were but once successful. Of the western teams, California U. ranks next to Southern California, the Bears having performed in the Pasadena spectacle on four occasions, winning twice, losing once and getting no better than a scoreless tie in the additional venture. Whether prophetic or not, as applied to next New day.

Stanford U. has been one of the least successful of all the defenders of western prestige. Stanford teams have gone to the bowl no less than a half-dozen times and the record reads: Stanford, two victories and four defeats. After Jan. 1 will that recird read five reverses for Stanford? The answer to that one is up to the Cornhuskers of Nebraska Hundreds of Gifts for all members of the familv and an in ing contest besides.

Gardner offers as part of his argument the scores in the home- and-home games between his club and Washburn. At Manhattan, where the new board was used, the Wildcats won, 23 to 15, for a total of 38 points. On home court at Topeka, the Big Six club triumphed, 33 to 29, for a 62-polnt aggregate with the old style target in use.
