Rose Bowl Sentiment
Shifts Steadily
To Nebraska
Stonford's Sturdy Team
Still Calmly Confident
Of Victory, However
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PASADENA, Calf, Dec. 30.-The
University of Nebraska's football
team may wake up tomorrow, if
not earlier, and find itself in the
unenviable position of favorite to
defeat Stanford's grid machine in
the Rose Bowl New Year Day.
The Huskers, a nice looking
rangy outfit with world of opti-
misnf, created most favorable
impression upon California critics
following their arrival yesterday
And lad named Roy Petsch, first
string quarterback, who will be very
disappointed if he doesn't start the
game against the undefeated
Indians, summarized the team
spirit when he declared:
I'D be a HI of a quarterback if
I didn't think so, but really think
we can beat Stanford" Petsch has
been on the injury list several
days.
Stanford Calmly Confident.
vike Francis, 2o2-pound fullback
and brother of Nebraska's former
all-America fulback, Sam Francis,
expressed the spirit of the invading
Nebraskans when he looked at the
Rose Bowl for the first time and
observed solelmnly:
boy, that bowl sure looks good
to us!"
Calm confidence continued to
reign in the Stanford camp. The
Pacific Coast Conference champions
seemed to take it for granted that
they were the pre-game favorites
for this traditional post season game.
The shift of admiring but unbiased
observers to the Nebraska chances
was surprising, however
At a Rose Bowl party given last
night it was difficult to find a
prediction for a Stanford victory,
although the Indians have remained
firm favorites with the wager
minded folk from the day they were
named as the Vests representatives.
Both Teams See Pro Game.
Both teams, meanwhile, entered
the final stages of Rose Bowl week
Nebraska engaged in press-photo
preview at Occidental College in
the morning, and Stanford resumed
its workouts in Brookside Park near
the Rose Bowl itself.
Both teams attended the game
between the Chicago Bears and the
National League all-Stars in Los
Angeles yesterday. and both saw the
powerful Bears upset the Stars with
their T-formation-the attack that
Stanford uses.
Good game" said Coach Biff
Jones of Nebraska.
Eyes, wasn't it2" replied Clark
Shaughnessy, who taught the T
formation to the Stanfords.

 Pat moved to her place before the coffee tray, made an effort to admire the weapon. Light from the flame of the alcohol lamp be- meath the coffee urn fiickered on her face.
 Careful, Pat" Gundrum warn ed. That curved point is like a razor" He took the scimitar from her and, rather than ask her to move to let him replace it on the wall, he crossed to the newlioness and slipped the cord with which the sword had been suspended over the beasts neck so that the curved point protruded beyond the tawny head. Careful" he warned. "The lioness is armed"
 A joke in poor taste, Sidney thought. Why had Gundrum come?" As Nella had said, this was cock eyed party.
 Impatient at the dimness, Lang don rang for Togi and ordered fresh bulbs. No one paid any at-. tention as the valet mounted a lad der to his task. Nella, Gundrum, Hugh and Sidney had gathered about the coffee table, cups in hand Marta and Adam remained chat ting near the ape, when suddenly Nella said.

 It was heavy oaken door stud- ded with nails. For 30 years it had hung where it was. At best, it moved ponderously. Now, when Nella turned the knob, it did not move at all.
 Togi, who had been watching, dismounted from the ladder and went to help. He, too, failed to open the door.
 Tt must be stuck" Hugh Lang don said. Those hinges need oil- ing"
 He joined the others and gave the door mighty heave. There was no yielding. Then he knelt, lighted a match and peered through | the keyhole.

Two hours and six minutes of en- thralling screen entertainment was enjoyed by capacity audiences at the popular Warner Bros. Strand theater this afternoon where "The Sea Hawk" thrilling new saga of the seven seas, opened it's engage ment with Errol Flynn in the title role.
 Flynn, swash-buckling hero of many thrilling screen adventures has his most glorious role in this thriller and with him is star studded cast featuring Brenda Mar shall, Claude Rains, Donald Crisp, Flora Robson, Alan Hale and thou sands of others.
 Lavishly produced and costing well over two million dollars, this film richly recreates the colorful days of Queen Elizabeth's reign, the overlapping clash of mighty gall Icons, cutlasses ringing in battles for gold, for beautiful ladies, for su- premacy of the Spanish Main.
 Flynn, as Godfrey Thorpe most feared of the privateers of Queen Elizabeth's day, is said to have the best role of his career. In order

From every indication Down Ar genuine Way" is the most impressive musical yet produced by 20th Gen. tury Fox. It is reported that this studio, which is noted for many big musical productions, including the famous "Alexander's Ragtime Band" has turned out an extrava- ganZa of Technicolor which should set new pattern for this type of screen entertainment.
 Brilliant casting, catchy songs and sheer lavishness mark Down Ar genuine Way" which starts its en- gagement of four days on Friday at the popular Loew Poli Theater, as the greatest musical hit of all time.
 Don Ameche has a grand role which not only calls forth his act ing talent, but his singing and dancing ability as well. Opposite Ameche is blonde, beautiful Betty Grable who returns to the screen after scoring an outstanding success on the New York stage in "Du Bar ry Was Lady"

You'll have to travel far and wide to find a better hour of en- tertainment than Deanna Durbin's eighth successive hit, Spring Par ade" which opened its four day engagement at the Warner Brothers State theater this afternoon.
 Perhaps this review should be ended with the statement that the star is Deanna Durbin, for it seems all-sufficient. But the de- tails are, in this instance, interest ing, for although it is not surpris- ing that Deanna's pictures should be great, it is astonishing that the young star should be able, time af- ter time, to surpass her previous pictures, each of which was hailed as better than its predecessors.
 Eight great pictures in succession is now Deanna's proud record. And proud she should be, for no other star, either on the stage or screen, has ever been able to create such an unbroken line of triumphs.
 To try to analyze just why Spring Parade" is such master piece, is to try to explain, note by note, the beauty of symphony. It would be like dissecting an emotion.
 But a description of the picture would have to include such items as these: The picture presents the star as a young village girl who goes to the city. Tn the metropolis, she meets and falls in love with Robert Cummings, young blade and the picture tells the progress of their love affair over a buhpy and highly laugh-filled, road of complications.
 Deanna sings, more beautifully than ever, four numbers three of them from the pen of Robert Stolz, famous Viennese musician who composed. among others, the beautiful Two Hearts in Three Quarter Time" The fourth is Blue Danube Dream"

 Immediately Adam became the snowman.

 Pat Langdon's eyes narrowed as she glanced toward him. He was speaking directly to Marta Hemp field. His voice held the old tender note. Marta, standing beneath the great ape, met Pats gaze without show of emotion. Nella covered the situation quickly by calling Pats attention to an old Turkish sword, gem in the collection.

Poll Indicates Senate
Naval Committee IT'S
AGAINST Col. Knox
Cabinet Appointee
To Face Fronk Quiz
On Intervention
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Strong opposition within the
Senate Naval Affairs Committee to
confirmation of Col. Frank Knox's
nomination to be Secretary of the
Navy was reported yesterday at the
Capitol.
The committee voted at a closed
session to ask Col. Knox to appear
before 1t for questioning on his
views toward United States policy
and the war. One member, who said
he favored approval of the nomin-
alton. told reporters an informal
poll indicated that If a vote had
been taken yesterday the nomina- =
ton would have been rejected, II
to 5.
Chairman Walsh merely an
nounced after the closed session
that 1t had been decided unani-
mously to summon Col. Knox for
questioning on his views, and that
the hearing probably would be held
on July /.
1t was reported authoritatively,
however. that it was proposed in
the session that the committee issue
public statement to the effect
that it intended to investigate Col.
Knox's views and that if it found
he favored Intervention, it would
reject his nomination.
This proposal was said to have
brought from Senator Ellender,
Democrat, of Louisiana, the protest
that this would constitute pre-
judgement of Col. Knox. In this
