Nebraska has been nominated and elected as the Big Six conference football champion for 1940. Onlv the task of defeating Missouri, Kansas State, Iowa State and Kansas must be taken care of before the Comhuskers restore the crown to its accustomed place in Lincoln following a two-year absence. abundance of speed, strength, weight and experience, unsurpassed on any campus in the nation, has boomed the Husker stock to a new high and the 5icirlet bandwagon is packed tighter than Nebraska stadium will be come play time this What the purpose of this super- ballyhoo in behalf of the Husk- rrs?

I say with emphasis, inasmuch as that nightmare has been dinning away at the American public through so many nerve-racking months that the slightest reference to any creation bearing the Hitler brand- mark is well calculated to justify resentment and provoke jitters.

College football in this year of 1940 has its opportunity to perform a double of providing pleasing entertainment for the millions who rate it as the king of all sporting diversions, also that of aiding the American public in giving thought to something other than the horrors of war. for The Star, this column here gives pledge to the Nebraska public that use of the hated expression will have no part in any of The SUrs football reports during the approaching gridiron campaign. Sportsman Argues For More Ducks as I I reader of The Star writes this column to voice objection to the sentiments expre.ssed by Fred Waller, as published on this JMge last week-end. I quote from communication: noted a recent article in The Star by Fred Waller, Jr. It seems that he wanted an answer, so here 1 It is: I do not see why these so- called sportsmen are not content to let well enough alone in regard the fixing of hours during which ducks may be hunted.

ago, the best we ever had was 30 minutes before sunrise and before that had only sunrise shooting, so why all the present kick? Idea of the restrieUoni to give the ducks an even break, not to see how manr birds a hnnter may kill.

While he can get hotter for a round or two starting out in a I big tournament than nearly any other golfer that every swung a club, he also can cool out more i I quickly, with the result that he has let more real big money slip from his clutching palm than any contemporary. But oncu he gets I not enough to win one tournament. he usually sizzles icr.g enough to ifiake it two in a row. Ergo, watch him next week. Over 7,099 Yards Another thing slightly in his favor is that the Hershey course measures 7,077 yards and is one of the very few layouts in An ica of such length, making it particularly suitable to the long hitter.s.

Thompson has proved his rignt to be placed at the head of big hitters in innumerable tesU. but.
