Nixon, who has graduated from
South High, intends to enter Nebraska
next fall. He has been up in South
Dakota putting on a lot of weight,
and now tips the scales at 1870 pounds.
Nixon is tackle of the Halligan type,
not very heavy, but powerful and full

doesn't become a Cornhusker star his

The Notre Dame crowd established
new record for receipts at the Ne

Reed has already received $l2,86205
from the sale OF tickets AUD there is
enough coming from Omaha to put
it in well above the $4,000 mark. The
Huskers lost $1,000 on the Oregon
Aggies trip and the Notre Dame
game will just about recoup it. Man

Ames away from home, all other
games will have TO be played on Ne
braska field, he said. Stiehm had sug-
gested game at indianapolis, but the
Missouri Valley conference rules bar
this. Dr. Stewart said that if Indiana
was willing to come to Lincoln in

board approved the two-year con-
