DRIVE FOR BAND INCREASES $430 AT RADIO PARTY
Many Send in Donations to Fund for West Point Band Trip
LINCOLN MEN GIVE
Cornhusker Hotel, Simons Are Among Firms Giving to Growing Fund
The drive to send the R. O. T. C. band to West Point for the Nebraska-Army game, received a boost Saturday in the donations which were received from citizens in Lincoln and throughout the state. The band broadcasted through KFAB at the coliseum grid-party and the announcer Gayle Grubb, sent out an appeal for donations to the cause. The response was almost instantaneous. A total of $430 was received before the football game was over. The donations ranged from one to twenty-five dollars.
Listening in throughout the state were many alumni and backers of Cornhusker activities as well as many ardent football fans. As the Cornhusker “powerhouse” got under way to crush out Oklahoma, telegrams began to flood into the Coliseum. And until the final gun, ending the game down at Norman, the Cornhusker followers were pledging money to send the R. O. T C. band to West Point on Nov. 24 for the Army-Nebraska clash in the West Point stadium.
