The Nebraska rooters were placed in the wooden bleachers on the east side of the field eome distance farther from the field than the big cement stands along side. The seats were by no means the best on the field. The wind blew a cloud of dust across the running track upon the Nebraska rooters. Among the members of the cadet band who arrived in Iowa City Satur day morning, there was One large, sol dierly looking cadet carrying no instru ment, whose military carriage attract ed considerable' attention. Closer scrutiny proved It to be none other than Clint Roes, the giant colored guard who played such havoc with the Iowa line last year. Iowa City entertained many visitors Friday and Saturday. The guest list began to Increase rapidly Friday morn ing 'when some seventy-five Nebras kans arrived over, on, or about the Rocky Mountain Limited. From Fri day morning until Saturday noon, Ne braskans poured into Iowa City by the score until the town was full to overflowing.

Scarcely a handful of Iowa men were at the train to greet Ne braska, After the victory in the after Boon the same spirit was shown. Nearly seven hundred Nebraska sup- Porter attended the battle and aided the team by cheering them on to suc cess.

MANY 6000 STUNTS AT FRESKMAH PARTY When Results of Football Game Were Announced Girls Gave University Yells and Songs. At 2:30 last Saturday afternoon a large crowd of Freshmen girls met in the Armory for their long anticipated party. Its purpose was to get ac- auainted and to organize in such a way that they can "do things' in school. Everyone had a splendid time and the whole affair was very success ful. When the girls arrived their names were pinned on them to enable them to become acquainted better. Theyi were then given tiny pennants of dif ferent colleges. The members of each college gathered together, originated yells and, put on 6tunts which varied from charades to a clever football game by the Nebraskans. This oc casioned much merriment among the girls. Miss Graham who has been very In terested and has taken an active part in the affair gave a talk in which she said tL-t the Freshmen girls show an unusual amount of college spirit this year. Another feature of the afternoon was dancing. Refreshment of ice wafers and candy were served by several of the Freshmen girls. Whpn. late in the afternoon the score of the Iowa game wa announced the girl burst into the Cornhusker 8onS U-U-Uni and afterwards the yell and it wa dared anyone to say that the Fre6hmen girls didn't hare any "pep." A short business meeting wa then held and it was decided to have a per manent social organization among the Freshmen girl to promote good fel lowship. Miss Edith Youngblut was appointed chairman of the Committee to take charge of this. It wa also decided to have Freshmen girl' cap. A committee wa appointed to look after thl. or whlcn Jean tmrrougn wa made chairman. The turplu refreshment were then sent over to the Delinquency Commit tee to aid and strengthen them in the RELIEF POSTPONED NO ACTION WILL BE TAKEN UNTIL 'AFTER THANKSGIVING. BENEFIT PROGRAM PLANNED Plans in Line With Those Being Car. ried Out in Other Schools Many Instructors in Favor of the Scheme. Belgian relief from the University of Nebraska seems a certainty but in all probability no authorized action will take place before the close of the Thanksgiving vacation. Professor Buck has been quite active in giving the matter publicity and he will probably direct the cam paign. He states that while nothing definite has been decided upon a bene fit in the form of a musical entertain ment to be given by high iass talent has been given some consideration. Ernest Graves, who is also connect ed with the movement, said that it had been mentioned to him to forward the proceeds of the entertainment to the University of Louvain. According to the latest and most authoritative re ports from the stricken country, the majority of the younger men retained in the university as instructors have left for the front to enter the ranks, and nearly all the older professors re maining with the institution are suffer ing from insufficient nourishment and clothing, some of the men even being without shoes. Not only the profes sors are in a destitute condition. There is the same suffering among the stu dent body. The few that have not en listed are as much in want as the news reporters say, and the whole city is in the same deplorable state. ' Miss Graham has said that she is in favor of alleviating the suffering CONVOCATION at ELEVEN Governor Morehead Will Read "Thanksgiving Proc lamation." SPECIAL MUSIC abroad as soon as possible. The bene fit plan presents a novel opportunity, but it is entirely a matter of specula' t;on ag to whether it will be used In whatever manner the money Is raised it seems very appropriate that the University of Nebraska should be the one to provide for the University of Louvain.

MUSEUM RECEIVES SEVERAL RELICS Collection Dates Back Thousands of Years Exhibition Will be Held in Museum in Few Days. The Museum has been the recipient of several relics that date back any where from fifteen thousand years to perhaps several million years. There is a skull of some prehistoric mam moth which was found in this state and several thigh bones of several other forms of mammoth animals. There is one thigh bone there which has the unique distinction of being found at different time, and in differ ent place. The cap of it was found several years ago and when the pres ent main body of the bone was Vought in Professor Barbour thought of the cap as the cap on the specimen was mi sing and it was brought in and tried on the bone and it also fitted". This is remarkable for the two parts were no where near oneanother and their dis covery is several years apart These bones were found in glacier deposits and were only two or three feet be neath the surface and are in very good condition considering the fact that they were so near the surface. They are being prepared for exhibition in the Museum and will be sent there in a few days. The Museum of the Uni versity of Nebraska is among the bee fn me united States and the fossil bones and remains of the prehistoric animals in it are among the besi ta be found anywhere. They are all in a remarkable state oT preservation and this adds to the attractiveness of such exhibits and the students of this school are to be congratulated upon their fine Museum and much credit must be given to the people in charge of It as it is from their careful man agement that it is in as good conci tion as it Is at the present time. Drake is no exception to the rule, for it too ha caught the Billy Sunday fervor. Recently all the sororities of Drake University formally voted to suspend all evening entertainment this month and next while ihe Billy fSunday mtilngs are in progress at De Moines. BEST III THE WEST HAWLEY ADMITS HAWKEYES ARE OUTCLASSED. NEBRASKA NOT UP TO FORM Cornhusker Machine Brilliant Only at Times Hawkeyes Play Excellent -Football Throughout Game. By Ivan G. Beede, Staff Representative. Statement of the coaches: Coach Hawiey "Nebraska won fair and square. They beat us on their field goals. It was a well played game. Both teams showed great football." Coach Stiehm "Iowa played the hardest game of any team Nebraska has met this season. ' Nebraska played excellent football, but was not at her best. The officials were fair and square In every respect. The game was a fitting climax to Halligan's, Howard's and Potter's football careers. Howard's tackling, receiving of for ward passes, and punting, were the best of his career. Halligan's field goal kicking and forward passing were splendid exhibitions of football. Pot ter's generalship and touchdown made a splendid finish for his gridiron career." To Captain Halligan, Howard and Potter, the three Cornhusker stars, who played their last game for the Scarlet and Cream Saturday, must go most of the credit for Nebraska's 16-7 victory over the Iowa Hawkeyes. It was Halligan's toe, Howard's wonder ful snatching of forward passes, and Potter's generalship which kept Ne braska in the) lead in Saturday's con test. It is peculiarly fitting that these three men who shall never again don a scarlet jersey, should be the ones to do the bulk of the work in upholding the honor of Missouri val ley football against the Big Nine pro duct, and their wonderful playing is a (Continued on page 3) HEWITT WINS IN THE ORITORICAL CONTEST Chatt Takes Second Place With Mag nuson, Mc Master and Pascale in Order Named.
