CHANCELLOR-AVERY GIVES WAY
TO PROPHECY
OTTO ZUMWINKLE PRESIDES
Band Start Things Professor Scott
Gives Snappy Talk Captain
Rutherford Promises a
Real Game
"The fratricldial strife betwaen the
"Comic" and the "Law" sections was
the feature of the Football Rally yes
terday morning. Otto H. Zumwinkel.
15 Law. 'IT, of Lincoln, presided.
The band began the proceedings, as
usual. Chancellor Samuel Avery
spoke irst announcing himself al a
prophet; that ls,N'one who bets on the
future without putting up his money."
He made several prophecies among
which were: A big crowd, a good
game, and fair treatment for Notre
Dame. Prof. Robert D. Scott told of
the fight Nebraska must put up if
she is to win. Notre Dame taught the
east how to play football, and is here
to show the west something. Because
Nebraska has won four successive Mis
souri valley championships is no sign
that she can take Notre Dame's meas
ure. Prof. Scott emphasized "clean
sportsmanship." If we are beaten, in
stead of kicking on the team and show
ing ourselves poor losers, we should
admit that they defeated us fairly.
"Bones" Rathbone, '11, of Lincoln,
then spoke, telling of how they play
ed football six years ago. Nebraska
never had a better team than she has
now, but in the natural run of events
she must meet a defeat sometime. If
that defeat should, by some streak of
fate, come Saturday, the speaker did
not wish to see the repetition of a
scene which took place while he was
on the team, when Coach Cole, who
won two valley championships out
of four, was jeered and hooted off the
field after Nebraska had lost.
Meanwhile "hurry-up" signals had
been sent out for Coach Ewald ' O.
Stiehm, but the tall mentor refused to
appear. The team was not less bash
full than the coach, for only Ruther
ford and Caley were on the platform.
The captajn ' declared the team was
going to "come through," not in th3
laft Quarter, but from the very start.
After he had given his brother "Laws"
several compliments, be told the au
dience to "go out on the field and,
root for Nebraska; that's what we
want."
The "Comics" were too much for
the "Laws." They displayed a huge
banner to which a pennant was at
tached, and, despite the howls of the
"Laws," the banner remained aloft un
til near the end of the rally. But the
"Laws" were not as rowdy as usual.
The Influence of Billy Sunday iipon
our future Blackstones was evident,
for Instead of singing their usual
song the editor won't let this
word appear in the Daily Nebraskan
they sang "Brighten the Corner Where
You Are." Yet, what would a rally
be without the "Laws?'
Large Football Receipts
T. A. Williams has already deposited
$5,623.75 to the credit of the Notre
Dame game. In attendance and re
ceipts this promises to be the biggest
Rune in the history of Nebraaka,-
ROPE KING HERE AGAIN
8cotch 8allor Is Once More Making
Rounds of the Fraternities Al
ways Carries Rope
Scotty, the Rope King, who has
made a tour of the world and who was
in Lincoln two years ago, Is again
here, making the rounds of the clubs
and fraternities. Scotty carries about
50 feet of rope and agrees to be tied
from head to foot in any possible man
ner. Following the rope stunt, he ren
ders several Scotch songs.
Scotty, always bedecked in U. S.
revenue cutter costume, is accompan
ied by an accent which proclaims his
Scottish descent and makes his vaude
ville performances unusually interst
ing. According to his clippings, which
he carries with him, he has been all
through the United States, visiting
universities.
"I coom from Noowhere and I'm
boond doon there agane," is the way
Scotty characterizes his wanderings
He is a lover of Harry Lauder and
sings many of the beautiful songs
which have made that Scotch corned
ian famous the woTld over.
ANXIOUS TO WHIP HUSKERS
Notre Dame Regards Big Game as Its
Hardest, but Squad Is Round
ing Into Shape
(The following comments on the Ne-
braska-Notre Dame game of Saturday
were written by John M. Cooney, a
student at Notre Dame. It shows the
feeling of the easterners in regard to
the game and also indicates the mis
taken idea they have in regard to
weights.)
Notre Dame, Ind., Oct. 21. Notre
Dame fans, coaches and players look
upon the Notre Dame-Nebraska game
in Lincoln, October 23, not only as
the hardest game on the local school's
schedule, but as by far the most im
portant one important because Notre
Dame's claims on the western cham
pionship are staked upon ihs outcome.
With both schools producing winning
teams Notre Dame and Nebraska have
for several years past been the two
principal contestants for the western
championship outside the conference
but the two teams have until this year
never been able to get together and
fight it for the supremacy. This year,
however, for the first time in the his
tory of the two schools they will clash
In a gridiron conflict and the game
will net only be one of the biggest
flehts staged in the middle west this
season, but will go a long way toward
narrowing down the number of con
testants for the western champion
ship.
MnPA Dame and Nebraska both
have enviable records. Nebraska has
not lost a game since 1912 while ex
nt for the local school's defeat at
the hands of Yale and West Point
early in the season last year the dis
grace of which was to a large extent
removed by its brilliant victories over
Svrfteuse. South Dakota and Carnsie.
later, the Notre Dame team has not
known defeat onthe gridiron in nve
vpnra. Neither the Cornhuskers nor
the Hooslers have been defeated this
year.

Alumnus Writes Successful Play
Mr. Fredrick Ballard, '05, has a play,
"Young America," now playfng at the
Gayety theatre, New York. It is the
story of the fun and pathos of a street
urchin's life, and is having a most
successful run. Alan Dale, one of the
best critics of the older school of New
York, says: "Here is a real play at
last;" and general press comment
bears out Mr. Dale's judgment. Mr.
Ballard won the Harvard-Craig play-
writing contest in 1913, and his play
had a good run in New York.

HOPE RONS HIGH
III HUSKER GAMP
GOOD CHANCE FOR VICTORY
OVER NOTRE DAME
TO HOLD OR NOT TO HOLD
Behavior of Nebraska Line the Vital
Factor Backfields Evenly Matched
Hootiere Arrive in Lincoln
This Morning
The fearless Jesuits are invading
the western wilderness to convert the
wilful Huskers. Under Coach Harper's
benevolent chaplainshlp they will ar
rive in Lincoln this morning at 10
o'clock. Early in the afternoon they
will acquaint themselves with their
new field in anticipation of their job
tomorrow, when they will attempt to
convince the Cornhuskers of the su
periority of football as they play it.
In the opinion of Husker supporters,
who are assuming" a sanguine attitude
as the crucial contest approaches, it
resolves itself down to the behavior
of the newly-erected Nebraska stone
wall. In the backfield the Huskers
are able to put forth anything that
the Catholics may desire to stow, and
if the line holds its own against its
elephantine opponents, the chances for
valley football to triumph over the
middle eastern product are even, with
the edge, if anything, a little in Ne
braska's favor.
To hold, or not to hold, that is the
question. Stonewall possibilities in
creased considerably when Shaw put
in his appearance yesterday afternoon,
although his value to the team is ma
terially lessened because he will have
had no sufficient opportunity to ac
quaint himself with the intricacies
of the Notre Dame offense and the
newer maneuvers which the coach has
added to the Husker repertoire this
week. But the Huskers will not only
meet fighting Irishmen in the Hoosler
line they will meet some human phe
noms in the size-speed line. It is given
on good word that the Catholic 230
pound tackle Is not entirely respon
sible for their acquiring the title of
"a whale of a team." Their line men
are all hefty, and have the enviable
ability to combine this weight with
handiness.
The Husker squad is in good con
dition to go up against the Catholics,
and reports from South Bend assert
that Coach Harper's men are leaving
for Lincoln in the pink of condition.
Coach Stiehm, as usual, will issue no
definite lineup for the game, and Just
who will occupy some of the berths
will not be known until the whistle
blows.
