31-29-14. If it works it can shake you right out into the cellar toward the payof land, and if it fails there is no offside penalty. You just start of from scratch.
 Mousetraps
 Now take that mouse-trap play. It is a very important deal during the season. But there is little game that is operated here that will teach fellow more about the inl- portance of a mouse and trap in 10 minutes than all teh coaches could in year.
 wont describe this device to you in full, because the memory of it is too painful. But there is this about it: A mouse sits in alittle box that has trop door. Beneath the mouse and the box is a wheel with 35 little openings in it. The wheel is spun. The mouse is dropped through the door and eventually runs into one of the numbered openings. If he hap pens to select the opening you choose you are rewarded 35 to l. I have known some contrary mice in my time, but the mouse who was playing the leading role when I visited his shop was tops. He ap- preached the openings of my choice as if they had been baited with 10- pound tom cats.
 No quarterback could stay around Las Vegas long without developing a gambling instinct. Every other building houses gaming place of one sort of another, and the citizens consider them as the citizens of other towns do the butcher shop, the bakery, the dry goods emporium and the dentists office. If you don't like roulette or the mouse game, you can have try at the leaping worries the bird cage, the faro bank, poker, bingo and horse racing. If none of these are to your taste just name your poison. This goes on day and night.
 I know all this is true, because as was stretched out in bed last night reading Plutarch's Lives, I could hear the little roulette ball whirling around, the tick-tock of poker chips and the laughter that I have learned (through hearsay of course) to con- meet with fellow who has just made Little Joe"
 There may be another town like Las Vegas, but I'll be alarmed if I have run across it, and I've been a scout for Rand -McNally for 12 years.

Les Vegas, Nev., Dec. 6 - (U.P0- Does Nebraska University want real gambling quarterback at the helm of its team when it plays Stanford in the Rose Bowl?
 Do the Cornhuskers want to per- fact the mouse-trap game as 1t never has been perfected before? Do they want to learn the real intrica- cies of the spinner?
 If they do, then Major BiH Jones should immediately accept the in- vitation of the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce to make this town a stop en route to the Rose Bowl.
 In offering the invitation the Chamber of Commerce, with becom- ing modesty, mentioned only such Las Vegas vertues as climate, train ing facilities, and proximity to Pas adena. It didn't mention the learn ing football team might gain from the gambling facilities of this town, which proudly advertises itself as the Hast frontier.
 This is only my second trip to Las Vegas, but III bet you know more about the spinner business than fellows who have been playing football eight or 10 years. They have great spinner teacher here. It goes under the name of Roulette. There is any number of formations you can operate from on the Las Vegas spinner. I like little play called

The game will start promptly at 800 p. m. and will be prelimed by the Bombers and the Bristol Corbras at 2 o'clock. Dancing will be held fol- lowing the main attraction with music by the Melody Masters or- cheStra.
