AFTERMATH ASSEMBLAGE.
CHANCELLOR AVERY SPEAKS
Ewing Emphasized the Importance of
the Victory Doc Maxey Re
emphatized It's Import
ance. The rally yesterday morning was at
tended by a fair number of students,
As usual the team falbed to put In an
appearance, but the speakers who
were there more than did justice to
the occasion.
Cloyd Stewart x presided over the
jubilant gathering and ably introduced
the speakers. Chancellor Avery spoke
first. He told of how much the vie
tory meant to the University toow
glad he was that Nebraska won, and
how proud he. was of her team and
her student body.
R. L. Ewing, formerly with Oberlln
College football team, told how im
portant It was that the students sup
port the team. Hiei explained that
there was almost an effect about the
cheering which encouraged the men
to greater efforts than mere attend
ance was able to produce. He also
told how disconcerting he had found
it to be when the admirers of the
winning team began to count the
score. "It almost makes the losing
sMe feel like giving up," he said.
The old reliable was then called
upon. Dr. Maxey lias become so well
known and liked by the students that
it is almost Impossible to "hold a meet
ing and refuse to permit him to speak.
The Doctor never fails to please, nor
was it an exoeiption yesterday morn
ing, it is rumored that some time the
whole convocation hour will be turned
over to him for use or abuse as he
sees fit. Here's hoping.

EN6BERG SAYS THAT
SCRAPS MUST STOP
Olympics Are to Take the Place of
Class Scraps Rule Broken This
Year, But Must Be the Last.
In conversation with Dean Engberg,
one of the reporters learned that the
University authorities must make it
understood that the Olympic games
were to take the place of a free-for-all
scrap. The student body has made an
agreement with the faculty to expend
their energies on that occasion. The
breaking of this agreement by the
Sophomores and Freshmen should not
occur again, as it gives a bad name
to the University in general. It is to
be hoped that this matter will not
come up again, say the authorities.
Union Hallowe'en Picnic.
The Union Society, instead of their
regular Friday night meeting, will
have a Hallowe'en picnic at Peck's
Grove on Friday night of this week.
This is one of the most picturesque
spots about Lincoln, and incidentally
it might be mentioned that it was the
scene of some tragic happenings in
the early days of Nebraska, which, of
course, makes it an interesting place
to visit on Hallowe'en eve. A weinie
roast will have a place in the even
ing's entertainment. Everyone is In
vited to get a black cat and a broom
stick and join the crowd at Thirteenth
and O streets at 7:30 o'clock.

BIG RAGE FOR TODAY
CROSS-COUNTRY MEN RUN AN
NUAL ELIMINATION RACE
TWENTY MEN WILL COMPETE
Will Run Over the Old Belmont
Course Finish in Front of the
Gym Football Game at
Three O'clock.
By H. I. Kyle.
Today, at 4 o'clock, is the time set
for the race which will decide who are
to represent Nebraska at the various
cross-country meets, scheduled for this
fall. The squad will start at the south
west corner of the athletic field and
go north, over the Tenth street via
duct, then east to Fourteenth street,
which they will follow to BieHmont,
from which point they will turn south
and return by way of Ninth and Tenth
streets. The finish will be in front of
the gym, and is expected to occur
about a half hour after the Btart.
The squad will probably number
about twenty men, most of whom are
1n excellent condition. iA few case of
over-training have been reported, and
"Pink" Spohn has several blisters on
his feet, that may worry him a trifle.
"Pink" is at a loss to account for his
blisters. "I. don't know where I got
them," he said. "I haven't been
around anyone who had blisters, and
I wear my own socks at all times."
The first five men to finish tomor
row, will constitute the varsity team,
with the sixth as a substitute. This
team will journey to Ames, November
7th, for tWei Missouri Valley Confer
ence meet. The dope all points to
ward the Ames Aggies as winner of
the classic again this- year. Last year
they won easily, and last Saturday
they out-classed Missouri, in a dual
meet, taking the first four places in
the! remarkable time of 27 minutes, 10
seconds.
Exhibition Game Today.
The regular mid-week exhibition
game will be staged on the gridiron at
3 o'clock today. The husky Frosn
eleven will expose te Ames plays
they have learned from Assistant
Coach Hoeffel to the attack of the
regulars. Ames has several new and
nifty formations, including a modified
form of the famous "Minnesota Shift."
An interesting game is in store for
the fans, this afternoon.
