Erratic Block Bangs
Husker Over Goal
To Nip Gophers
Decides Game, 6 to 0,
As Nebraska Works
Surprise Play
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LINCOLN, Nebr., Oct. Me-
braska, rich in raw power, relied
today on a surprise play and a
misdirected block by Minnesota s
captain to tarnish the Golden
Gophers, 6 to 0.
Fleet Robert De Fruiter scurried
81 yards to the 3-yard line on a
reverse midway in the second period
of bruising football game to find
himself surrounded by a horde Of
Minnesotans. An attempted block
sailed the substitute halfback into
the end zone.
All afternoon a trio of Nebraska
backs rammed and rambled through
and around flabby Minnesota line.
First it was Hermie Rohrig, then
1t was Harry (Hoppity) Hopp and
late in the game Henry Rohn who
knitted through the team which last
week crushed Arizona, 81 to 0.
And it was this Nebraska regular
ity of depending almost entirely on
one ball carrier in each set OF backs
that brought Minnesota's downfall.
Hopp had slanted through the
Gopher forwards for gains of nine
and 13 yards in the series of downs
preceding the touchdown play.
The Gophers were set to stop
Hasty Harry, who took the ball
again but this time handed It to De
Fruiter for a sweep around Ne
braska's right end.
The sophomore threaded his way
through the Gophers to the s.
yard line where he was hemmed in.
Then Capt. Win Pedersen's side
block catapulted him across, inches
from the sidelines.

Cheers as Harvard
Takes Game, 700

Team Near Goal
BY the Associated Press.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Oct. T.
Harvards Crimson. a trifle green
this season, battled to a 300 victory
over Bates courageous football
forces today before $4,000 fans.
Joe Cardella, housekeeping Har-
ward junior back, carted of scoring
honors with two touchdowns, one on
17-yard on-tackle sprint, but the
cheers of the afternoon went to the
flashing, spirited play Of Art Belli-
veau, a 152-pound Bates back.
Almost single handed, by shifty
running and difficult pass recep-
tions, he carried his team three times
to scoring territory, once to the S.
yard line, but Harvard's heavier
forces STAYED of each threat.
Crimson Quick to Score.
Dick Harlow's team, slower and
more deliberate than usual, opened
with a drive that carried 1t to a
score 10 plays after the game start
ed. Tom Healy, acting as captain
for the injured Torbie Macdonald,
who watched the game from the
press box, recovered q tumble by
Harry German to start the Crimson
on its drive. Gardella finally lugged
it over from yard out and Charles
Spreyer booted the point.
Midway in the second period, Gar
della shared a Bates pass and in
10 plays Harvard marched 78 yards
to another score, with Spreyer lug
ging over after the Bates line held
for three downs inside the 3-yard
line.
Harvard Skinny With Passes.
Another Bates tumble recovered
by Healey started Harvard on its
last touchdown march in the final
canto. It took four plays to go 80
yards, with Gardella tallying on his
17-yard sprint, one Of the longest
runs Of the game.
Harvard used only a few simple
running formations, throwing only
three passes and failing to complete
any. The first downs were IL for
Harvard and seven for Bates, but
the Crimson outrushed the Maine
eleven, 249 yards net to 40.

ECONOMIC EFFECT OF WAR

There may be people in the United States who think that we have nothing whatever to do with the war in Europe.
 Let US assume, for example, that the war lasts several years, that it becomes the "blood-bath' that Herr Hitler predicts and that Germany, France and Great Britain alike are the victims of the wholesale destruction of pro- perty.
 What has the United States to do with this? Simply this: Flu rope, economically bankrupt, will be a poor customer of the United States and our economic ills will be aggravated. Regard less of which side wins the war, the United States cannot profit through commerce with pauper ized Europe.
 In years past, Europe has been he best customer for our goods. The nations of that continent have at times taken much more than half of our exports. Even in recent years, although buying has been greatly reduced, the na tions of the continent bought about forty percent of what we sell the world.

AeronauticS Authority material ize. This organization, in control of all civil aviation in the United States, has presented to airplane manufacturers a plan by which airplanes easily and safely oper- ated with a short period of in- struction, may be constructed. The aviation authorities hope this will result in producing air planes on which the ordinary person may learn to fly in a per iod somewhat corresponding to the time 1t requires to learn to drive an automobile. The plane must be easy and simpe to take into the air, to fly and to land safely. In order to provide these features, certain engineering specifications of design and per formance have been presented to the airplane manufacturers. AS a result of this plan it may be that the average citizen will be able to fly an airplane just as he drives an automobile at the pres ent time.

Americans serving combat troops Their idea was
that these black men should be armed only with shov
