Along with the change toward the most favorable of working conditions, Corn- husker stcck boomed upwards when Harry Hopp, the leading ground-gainer, returned to the locker room to check out practice equipment. Hopp came down with a light attack of influenza on Christmas eve.

Guest Scribes Talk. While Major pupils have been working along in preparing for the biggest game of their lifetimes, visiting scribes from Los Angeles newspapers have attempted to draw comparisons and have been expressing their size-up of the squad. Here are several conclusions that have been drawn: 1, Nebraska is an exceptionally uniform squad. 2, Walter Luther is a faster and more elusive runner than is break-away artist. Pete Kmetovic.

Loyal Stanford backers remained firm in the belief that the magic of Clark big red team from the farm would continue through New day, but there has been a marked revision of estimates about the Nebraska team by many impartial ob.servers in the past few days. Eyewitnes.s accounts of the per- formance.s of the Huskers in their practice drills at Phoenix have been most favorable.

Ray Richards was another interested observer on the coming game. He was one of the greatest linemen Nebraska ever produced, and as line coach for the University of California at Los Angeles, had painful to watch the Stanfords at work this year. Has Him Stumped.

Blaik and Dartmouth Director of Athletics William McCarter asserted the wholesale shift was fulfillment of a patriotic duty.

They pointed out Army was encountering difficulty in finding a replacement from the ranks of its ofhcers for Capt. Bill Wood, who was recalled to active duty.

YORK, Dec. a week Ogden Miller, athletic director of Yale, will make a statement on the university's athletic policy, with due cognizance to be taken of the fact that receipts for the late lamented football season fell short of expectations by approximately $100,000.

Mr. Miller has not given the vaguest hint as to what his pronouncement will be, and I'm not in a position to do any public guessing on the proposition. Effect Other Sports.

Picture this attitude at a university whose most cherished are those built up on the gridiron. Mr. Miller startled some of his listeners in a speech not so long ago, when he said, in effect, that de-emphasis at Yale was nothing more nor less than a re-statement of policy, and that some of the other schools had better do something about their football situation.

Is Yale Next? Right away everybody began to think about the passing of football from Chicago university, which used to be more or less a mid-western powerhouse. Yale conceivably could be among the next to abolish football, or at least the interest in it. All Yale has to do is come up about two more years in a row with a team such as that of last season, and the goose that laid (he golden annual sale for a reported $30,000 of football broadcast be extremely deceased. Yale has too much good football interwoven into its history to go for any less good football in the future, and that is what the alumni are muttering about.
