Rally for Kanaas Aggie Game Brings
Sharp Call Down for Students
Pep Needed for Game
The football team does not go to
football rallies to be kidded, said
Coadi Stewart before a fair crowd of
students in mass meeting yesterday.
The rooters can make the team win
every game or they can make it lose
t, according to the coach at the foot
ball rally Thursday morning in Me
morial ball.
"Victories and defeats come in cy
clesdefeats come in Just the spirit
evident here today," he said, as the
result of too much "spontaneous en
thusiasm" on the part of the rooters.
After a couple of selections by the
hand, Melvin Garrett, president of the
Innocents, introduced Dr. E. J. Stew
art, the new football coach. Dr. Stew
art said that it is vital that the band
go to Oregon to show up the Oregon
Aggies' band, which is noted as the
best band on the coast. The business
men in Lincoln aren't going to furnish
all of the money, and the money is not
coming in as fast as It should, and t!w
student body must get busy.
Meanj. Lot to Team
"It means a lot to the team to have
the band. When we are losing at Ore

send out that dollar. It will be the
best investment you ever made," de

EOSEVJSLDE
HOT SHOTS IN
POLITICAL DEBATE
OPPONENTS BELABOR EACH
OTHER IN ARGUMENT
Schofield and Waring for Wilton;
Jeffrey and freater for Hughes,
Clash in Word War
C. E. Schofield and Robert Waring
for the Woodrow Wilson club, and E.
C. Jeffrey and L. W. Thester for the
Hughes and Fairbanks club, met in a
red hot political debate before a large
gathering of the members of the two
clubs last evening in the Temple.
Chief Justice A. M. Morrissey presid
ed and nodecision was given.
Arguments flew back and forth, par
tisan spirit was manifested at every
opportunity, and an extremely warm
discussion was presented, the applause
evidently favoring the Wilson sup
porters. The Wilson Cry
The cry of the Wilson supporters
was "What would you hawe done?" in
answer to the criticism of the Hughes
men. The issues were dodged to some
extent, each side pursuing its own line
of argument and generally Ignoring
the thrusts of their opponents.
"We are the first party in twenty
years to come before the people on
our record. The republicans have been
in power for that period and have had
only apologies to offer," aaid Waring
of the Wilson team.
Record of Achievement
"It seems to me that . the people
should support a record, of achieve
ment rather than a promissory note
issued by the republicans every four
rears.
The republicans criticize us
for not going to war with Germany,
entering into war
us ,.,v
thy name is woman!' Well might the
democrats cry: 'Inconsistency, thy
name is Republican"
In his support of the Hughes s'de,
Thester said: "A party that fails to
keep its pledges should not be re
turned to power. The democrats said
they would give us peace in Mexico
and peace is still raging there." He
also attacked the Underwood .tariff
measure saying: "It is wrong In prin
ciple an vicious in practice."
Criticised President
Jeffrey of the Hughes clan, critized
the child labor law and especially the
president's foreign and domestic pol
icy, saying: "The president's policy
has' been one of vacillation and will
no longer be tolerated."
This came as a response to Scho
field's 'inquiry as to what Hughes
would have done, and of his defense of
the Mexican situation: "The Mexican
muddle is a legacy to the president
from the republican administration."

With his victorious troops ready to
pour into the windows of the doomed
library building, Caplain L D. Beynon
called them from the assault and may
resume the encounter some other time.
Several of the charging soldiers tried
to imitate the rebel yell in the final

Ore., for its game with the Oregon
agricultural college, Tuesday, accom
panied by the band, and such rooters
as have been able to scrape up enough

that the home rooters are with them

fun. A torchlight procession will be
formed, and the team escorted in state
to the Union Pacific railway station.

will wind down O street.
Students who remember the torch
light parade on the night preceding
the game with the Michigan agricul
tural college team know what a big
reception the visitors were given then.
The Cornhuskers will be given a more
enthusiastic send-off, unless all signs
fail Tuesday.

Vikings and Silver Serpent, Junior
Organization in Charge of
the Party
Carrying out the idea of making tha
mixer tomorrow night in the Armory
thoroughly a freshman affair, Rawson
White of the Vikings, chairman of tha
general committee, has planned for a
short program of "extras" to be put
on by the first year men themselves.
The Vikings and Silver Serpents,
who have charge of the mixer, are
keeping quiet about all the good things
that have been planned for the annual
get-together meeting of the new stu
dents, and few of the details are
known. It is certain, however, that
there will be dancing on the big Ar
mory floor to music furnished by a
good orchestra, and that amusements
and refreshments to suit the versatile
tastes of every freshman.
It is also whispered, and with good
foundation, that there will be a long
line of Silver Serpent girls to receive
the guests, and it is also rumored that
they will have charge of the refresh
ments.
The Silver Serpenta
Following is a list of girls who have
been working on the reception, and

day that tickets would be for sale at
the door, so that any freshman not
