FRDSH-SDPH EVENT
SEVEN EVENTS SCHEDULED FOR
THE EVENTFUL MORNING.
THE WAR STARTS AT NINEA.M.
Push-ball and Color Scrap Each Stand
in Line as the Major Events
Minor Events Between
9 and 10.
After a Week's hard labor the two
classes reported last night that final
arrangements had been made for the
giant contest which will be pulled off
on Nebraska Field tomorrow morning.
The events wl'l start promptly at 9
o'clock as eveiyone must be off the
field by 11 in order to allow the ground
keeper to put It in shape for the little
battle with the "Kids" from the north.
Both classes of course will be oif hand
to do their share of the rooting in the
afternoon but at present the wearers
of the Green are at swords point with
their superiors. It has been reported
that 6ome important freshmen will ap
pear upon the campus in the morning
without ,their accustomed growth of
hair but be that as it may the Sopho
mores will surely get all that's com
ing to tbem. Freshmen "pep" is at
its height today.
The events will take place in the fol
lowing "order: First Shuttle race
with four men on each side. This will
be a speedy contest as each man runs
only one hundred yards.
Second: Boxing Both light and
heavy weight.
Third: Wrestling Including the
little and the big.
Fourth: Marathon Race Where
those 'built for endurance instead of
speed will contest for premier honors.
Fifth: Tug of War Fifteen men
from each class.
Sixth: Push-Bail Contest This will
be one of the most interesting events
of the whole program. The ball is a
giant affair, being over six feet in
diameter, and half thai distance for a
radius."" Fifty men will represent each
class and the team pushing the ball
over their opponent's goal line the
most number of times in thirty min
utes will -win. The ball has arrived
and is being kept until the proper
time arrives for fear some over-zealous
freshman will puncture it.
FLIRTING
Seventh: The free for all will be
the final event of the day. This takes
the place of the old slugging match or
last year In which the Sophomores
figured so minutely. The Sophomores
will have their colors on a pole and
will endeavor to keep them there.
The minor events will be staged be
tween 9 and 10. The push-ball contest
will then take place, lasting until
10:30, when the free for all will start,
occupying the time until 11. All con
testants be on the ground early in
their old clothes and in trim for the
final battle.

MIDNIGHT FIGHT BE
TWEEN FROSH AND SOPH
Freshmen Are Painted on Brow With
'17, and Resent Action With
r ""Battle Royal.
Last night, while the world was
asleep, the sophomores ventured out
to put the fatal '17 on the noble brows
of the innocent freshmen. The vari
ous frat houses were entered and,
with the aid of the sophomores there
in, the frosh were decorated. The
freshmen, not to be trifled with,
crawled into their old clothes and the
fight was on. The scene of battle was
the Delta Tau house. The sopho
mores, not being able to get at the
Delt freshmen, made attack upon the
house and battle ensued. Freshmen
poured in from all directions and
members of both classes went into a
battle royal, only to go to their re
spective homes thereafter to nurse
bruised and disfigured faces.
Upon questioning the first-year men
the reporter could get only such a
reply as, "We'll get even with those
guys yet; see if we don't."
FLING.. NEVER MORE.

OF THE TEAM WILL SPEAK.

Scheduled For Both
Rallies.
This morning at 11 o'clock sharp the
doors of the chapel of Memorial Hall
will be thrown open and the keys
turned over to the students of the Uni
versity of Nebraska, who will then
proceed to demolish thing's. But be
fore the old building is destroyed fit
ting ceremonies will be held to ob
serve the occasion. Three of the most
noted men of the middle west, indeed
of the United States, will deliver the
fuweral orations, the "In Memoriam's,"
so to speak, and then the roof will be
raised. Enthusiasm, with neither
rhyme nor reason, will then riotously
reign supreme, for this will be part
of Nebraska's celebration of her vic
tory over the Michigan Aggies on the
Nebraska Field Saturday.
City Superintendent -Hunter of the
Lincoln schools will speak a few
words of caution before he takes off
his coat to join in the general caco
phony. He will doubtless impress the
Nebraskans with the necessity of re
specting the neutrality of the other
school buildings in Lincoln when they
begin their medicine mixing ceremon
ies on the campus at 7 this evening.
Dr. Maxey will then warm to his

FRESHMEN SECURE
YflURJAPS EARLY
Buy Them Early and Keep From
Catching Cold Plenty to go the
Kounas or rresnman uiass.
Today is the day that the freshman
men are to secure their caps which
are being distributed from the "Daily
Nebraskan" office which is located in
the basement of University Hall.
These caps are made of very fine ma
terial and are worth every bit of the
price asked for them. The price as
announced yesterday is one dollar.
This includes both caps, one of which
is called the "eton" and is to be worn
during the warm weather and the
other a "toque" that should be worn
when the cold breezes from the north
reach this vicinity. The former is to
be worn on the back of the head. It
has a white button on top while the
body of the cap is green. The tonne
has a white "torn torn" on top while
the body of this is also a solid green
They are very attractive and if lo
lloped by the use of them that each
member of tho class will get acquaint
ed with every other member. Don't
fail to procure one of them early to
day. There will be plenty to go
around.
THE INEVITABLE
r
LAST SCRIMMAGE
HOWARD, RUTHERFORD, AND POT
TER STAY OUT OF MIX-UP.
ARE NURSING THEIR INJURIES
Varsity Scores Three Touchdowns in
Rapid Succession Many Old
Stars on the Field to Assist
in Coaching.
By H. I. Kyle.
The last scrimmage before the big
game, was staged, yesterday on a
muddy field, which rendered the play
ing slow and erratic. As on the pre
ceding day, the freshmen opposed the
varsity with an Imitation of the at
tack of the Michigan Farmers, as it
was doped out by Assistant Coach
Hoeffel. The varsity was allowed to
try its skill at offensive playing, and
managed to register three touchdowns'
and a field goal in the first half-hour of
play.
The success of the yearlings at
carrying the ball was about the same
as on Wednesday. Gardiner, the ex
Omaha high school star, scored a drop
kick from the 25 yard line, but no
touchdowns were made.
The absence of Rutherford, Howard,
and Potter from the line-up weak
ened the varsity team greatly, for al
though their subs, Selzer, Wilson and
Hawkins, all played remarkably well,
they are lacking in the experience
necessary to give confidence to the
rest of the team, as well as to them
selves. The coaching staff was again sup
plemented by the appearance of three
more former Cornhusker stars, in the
persons of Tate Matters, who is now
practicing law in Omaha, Supt. Fred
Hunter, of the Lincoln city schools,
and Harvey "Bones" Rathbone, at
present engaged in the real estate
business here in Lincoln. Sylvester
Shonka, captain and tackle on the
wonderful team that tied the Michigan
Wolverines in 1911, was on the field
Wednesday, doing his duty, as a loyal
Nebraskan.
The Aggies will arrive in Lincoln
sometime this morning, and will stay
at the Lincoln hotel, while here. If
the weather is pleasant this afternoon
and evening, it is likely that some of
