Dear Biff:

ebPasza.

Mey I thank you a thousand times for your
kindness in admitting us to the ball game Saturday.
Ye steod on top of the press stand and re the
game immensely. Congratulations have come you
from all four corners of the United States, so it is
useless for me to ad@ my little mite. However, I
want you to know how wonderful it wag te see a Corne -
husker team whip the nation’s cutstanding champions, —

| . Of eourse, the credit goes to 4 great
Nebraska team tutored anc inspired by the general of .
the Nebraska football army, Biff Jones, Take your
little bow, Biff, and step forward, It was a great
achievement.

However, I want to say thet I felt that
the overflowing cup of pleasure received a decided
tilting by the severe injury to Lidon dcliravy. vhon
the boy hit the ground I said te Gwinn Henry, *That
boy is critically injured". He never moved a ise.
It always reminds mo, when a boy like that hits the
earth, of a quail that receives a full load from a
shotgun. He is dead to all inspection. :

Mey I extend the best wishes of our entire
University, beeause we are concerned over the injury
of this boy. We are hoping and praying that on
account of his family and himself, and the game in
particular, he makes a complete and speedy recovery.

I did not watch the game for a few minutes
because I was watching the frightened mother and
anxious father hasten to the dressing rooms, and as
the ambulence pulled sway and swung out the west gate
i saw the prostrated lad lying in the ambulance. I
oO you were going to lose him before
