barring freshmen from srueipHtiHl IN
varsity football seems likely TO lack
endorsement by Nebraska universities. A
game will be played this season with

sprung up q strong sentiment against
the adoption of the rule. Captain Borg,
Assistant Coach WestOver and Physical
Director ClapD are all known to be OPP
posed to the adoption of such strin-
gent check on the development of foot

athletic committee will fail to ratify it.
