NEBRASKA TEAM LEAVES
FOR IOWA THIS AFTERNOON
STUDENTS RALLY FOR SENDOFF
AT 3:40
Train Leaves Over Rock Island Team
Is Going to Win Saturday's
Battle
The Cornhuskers leave for the bat
tle with Iowa at 4:05 this afternoon,
over the Rock Island railroad.
At 3:40 this afternoon the team will
leave the Armory for the Rock Island
station. Every loyal rooter who does
not have a class, will be at the Armory
to bid the men Godspeed, and to let
them know that Nebraska expects her
team to win the battle Saturday at
Iowa City.
No thought of defeat is In the
minds of, the student body; no feel
ing that the team may lose is In the
hearts of the Cornhuskers.
Nebraska suffered a reverse last
Saturday, but it takes more than a
defeat by a small margin, by an in
ferior team, to take the heart out of
the Nebraska eleven, their coach, and
their student body.
Determined to Win
Nebraska is going to Iowa City
with the determination to win, and to
retrieve by as big a score as possible,
the loss of last Saturday's game.
The announcement that has been
carried on the bulletin boards the last
day or so that a football rally would
he held at convocation hour this
morning was a mistake. Thewhole
effort of the students will be to give
the team a rousing sendoff as they
leave for the train today. The spirit
will be as indomitable as the spirit
that sent the men to victory against
the Oregon Aggies.
Although drill was called for 4
o'clock today, Commandant Parker
has ordered first call not to be blown
until 4:25 and last call at 4:30. This
will give the cadets plenty of time
LAST OF INFORMAL
TEA8 TODAY IN
ART HALL, 5:30
Dean Mary Graham will entertain
all the girls of the University at the
luht tea of the year today In Art hall
from 4 until 6:30 o'clock.
This Is the last of a series of teas
which Miss Graham has given for the
purpose of getting the girls better ac
quainted. All girls are especially
urged to come to' this, if only for a
short time.

GATHERING FORCE
Quiet Crmpalgn Among Students

Solicited
Work on the European war prlrcn
tb fund bas been going on quietly
among the student body, but steadily
gathering force. No solicitation is be
ing made; the proposition is presented
and the student Is asked to give what
his sympathy for these six millions of
men of all nations, suffering tortures
of body and soul, dictates to him to
give.
The campaign for contributions is
being Tery effectively carried on
among faculty members, and the re-
usm
to march with the team to the station,
and to get hack to the campus for
drill:
Band to Lead March
The band will lead the procession
to the train, and the team will be
drawn in the great carryall that has
been used so often to carry Nebras
kans to the scene of battle hopeful
and confident, and bring them hack
victorious.
"Why of course we are going to
win," one of the men on the team said
last night. "This talk of defeat
doesn't get very far with me. We are
going to fight until we do win."
The team will go from Lincoln to
Des Moines, la., where they will stay
until Saturday. Then they take the
interurban to Iowa City for the con
flict Saturday afternoon.
The game is the homecoming game
for the Iowans. The old grads will be
back to cheer their team, and every
one will be pulling for an Iowa vic
tory. The Same Old Story
Nebraska has bucked that sort of
thing before, and come out at the head
of the game. Nebraska bucked it
this year at Portland, when the whole
Pacific coast, with the exception of a
Tew Nebraskans, were pulling for Doc
Stewart's former pupils to win.
Rut they lost. That is what Corn
husker supporters believe will be the
outcome of the game Saturday.
And they are going to be gathered
together in a great big room, hear
ing of the game as The Dally Nebras
kan special wire sends it from the
field, watching the game play by play,
pulling for our boys if they are fight
ing against their own goal; urging
them on if they are in the enemy ter
ritory. Let the team realize that Nebraska
is with them, and that psychic wave
that Dr. Stewart speaks about will
cross Nebraska and Iowa fields to the
team on the grid Saturday, Just as It
covered 2,000 miles to Portland.

HOMECOMING ISSUE
OF THE AWGWAN
One of the noticeable features of
the Homecoming number of the
Awgwan is its cartoons. The work
of Lyman Thomas on the cover and
center page is to be commended espe
cially. The jokes are keen and the
atmosphere should rekindle the waning
spirit of any old graduate.
The next number of the Awgwan,
the Christmas number, will be out
before December 10. It will contain
all the latest ideas for Chfistmas pre
sents for the family and sweet hearts
and will bring a message of holiday
cheer, according to the staff.
SPECIAL LEASED
WIREA BIG HIT
DAILY NEBRASKAN'S OWN STORY
OF GAME SATURDAY
No Profit to Paper Tickets Merely to
Cover Cost Surplus to War
Prisoners
Rarely has anything made a bigger
hit than the plan of The Daily Ne
braskan to run a special wire from
Iowa City with a report of the Iowa
game play by play, strictly for the
student body. The first tickets were
put on sale yesterday afternoon, and
they were selling rapidly.
The nominal charge of a nickel was
no drawback, when the students real
ized that they would be able to see
and hear of the game in an enclosed
place in comfort, by The Daily Ne
braskan's own representative, coming
from Iowa City by special leaned wire
second to none in the city.
Not a Money Maker
It is no intention of The Nebraskan
to make money on the loyalty of the
student body. The nickel charge is
made merely to cover expenses of
leasing the wire and paying for the
service. Any surplus will be turned
into the fund for the relief of the
prisoners in the European war. camps.
The idea originated in the editorial
staff of the paper, simply as a part
of the service a college paper should
give the student body from which It
draws Its support.
Tickets to The Dfiily Nebraskan
football party can be secured from
sellers on the campus, or by coming
into The Nebraskan office in the base
ment of D.hall. The game will com
mence about 2:30 Saturday afternoon.

SCRAPPY SCRIMMAGE
BY HUSKER WARRIORS
SCRUBS WITH OLD STARS CAN'T
SCORE
Team Looks Good for Victory In
Annual Battle With the
Hawkeyes
The practice on Nebraska field yes
terday afternoon was by far the
most scrappy scrimmage that has
been held this year. The varsity,
after a heart to heart talk with Dr,
Stewart, went after the scrubs and, al
though the latter used Frank, Ruther
ford and Halligan, they were unable to
score while the varsity was shoving
over two touchdowns.
Every one of the men was fighting
for all that was in him and the team
roughed up the scrubs considerably
An old married man, by the name of
Rutherford, received most of the var
sity's attention in the way of extra
fists and cleats.
Stewart Smiles
Doctor Stewart was forced to al
most smile once in awhile when he
heard the invitations which were
hurled across from one side to the
other, but his smiles were of joy to
see that the men were fighting as
they should."
Cook, Calcy, Oioupalik and Dobson
all were fighting hard at carrying the
ball and if frequent fumbles hadn't
occurred because of the slippery ball,
several more scores would have been
rung up.
Line Work Good
The work of the entire line wus ex
cellent when It came to stopping the
scrub plays or opening holes for the
backs. Most especially deserves
credit for his nerve in playing the
game even though his shoulder was
hurting him at every move. It is still
doubtful if "Mose" will be able to get
Into the game Saturday.
Riddell was back at Mh usual posi
tion last night and helped muss Ruth
erford up, quite a hit.

IOWA COACH WARNS TEAM
AGAINST OVER-CONFIDENCE
HAWKEYES SHOW DISPOSITION
TO TAKE BATTLE LIGHTLY
Coach Jones Shifts Men Seeking to
Find the Most Efficient
Combination
(Special to The Daily Nebraskan)
Iowa City, la., Nov. 22. Deplorably
slow work by the Hawkeyes in scrim
mage yesterday afternoon with the
second team was made the occasion
by Coach Jones of a warm talk to his
men on the general subject of over
confidence. Much to the consternation
of the coaching staff, the Iowa squad
this week is showing a disposition to
take the Nebraska game lightly and is
failing to drive into the preparatory
exercises with the same vim that
marked the drill for Ames. Jones
was not slow to take this notion out
of the heads of the players.
"Look at Illinois and Minnesota,"
he said, "and at Chicago and Illinois.
There have never been so many up
sets before as there have been this
year to prove that the chesty team is
sure to get defeated. Because Kan
sas beat Nebraska and Iowa beat
Ames Is no reason for believing that
Iowa will beat the Cornhuskers," and
the riawkeye mentor chased his men
to the gymnasium in considerable dis
gust, hoping and praying both for a
reversal of form and spirit on the
morrow.
Iowa scouts who have seen Ne
braska in action declare that the
Cornhuskers have a powerful eleven,
and the coaching staff anticipates one
of the hardest games of the season

by a close score and will furnish
thrills a-plenty from first to last.
Mendenhall Returns
Yesterday afternoon's practice,
while poor from the standpoint of
scrimmage work, was encouraging in
other ways. Mendenhall, who has
been out of the game for more than
three weeks, wai in at right halfback
again and appeared to be in fair con
dition once more. He will almost cer
tainly start the game against Ne
braska, although Duncan, by reason of
the great playing which he has been
doing recently, will go through at
least half of the game. Davis was
also on the regulars again yesterday,
and seems to have come through the
Cyclones without being permanently
damaged. Scott was on the field in
street clothing, but did not attempt
heavy work of any sort. He has
contracted bloodpolsoning in the leg,
but Trainer Jack Watson expects to
have him in condition by Saturday.
There w:re several substitutions
made on the varsity during the after
noon. Captain Laun, after playing
at right end, was relieved hy Von
Lackum for a time. McKee and Trip
lett alternated at left tackle. Fosdick
played guard in place of the crippled
Hunzelman. In the backfleld, Nugent
acted for Davis for a time, Van Pelt
was in in place of Scott, and both
Mendenhall and Duncan appeared at
left half. Jones also tried Banr.!ck,
substitute quarter, at this position
and he acquitted himself well enough
so that, he may get in the Nebraska
game as a half.
