country should be Inaugurated by uni
versal celebrations throughout the
country which would begin, at the va
rious Institutions, simultaneously.

"This day has a peculiar significance
for more than five hundred colleges
and universities throughout the Unit

ization of a unique and powerful force
of fighting men the students' army
training corps. The patriotism of
American educational institutions is
demonstrated to the world by the gen-
erous and splendid way in which they
;faave rallied to the support of this far--.
reaching plan to supply the Ameri--can
armies with officer material and
trained specialists of all descriptions.
'lit is most fitting that this day,
which will be remembered in Ameri-j

"As of October 1, 1918, the , United
States army training detachments es
tablished at educational Institutions
by the commute on educational spe
cial training are merged with the stu
dents' army training corps as section
n thereof.
Members of the S. A. T .C, the gov
ernment Is furnishing you with an op
portunity, which will open the way to
advancement In the service to you per
sonally and which, if you will give
your all, will be the means of more
rapidly perfecting our already great
military service. You are all men
who have had educational opportuni
ties and you ought to be in a position
to speedily adapt yourselves to the
needs of the service. The government
looks to this and other S. A. T. C.
units for officer material, and it ex
pects that a goodly percentage of
those of you who apply yourselves to
the woik before you will become lead
ers of the army and navy of the Unit
ed States. You are entering upon the
most serious undertaking of your lives
and it is up to you to put forth every
ounce of energy in you to make suc
cesses of yourselves and to bring this
war to a successful termination. There
are 150,000 young men in this coun
try who are at this moment attending
ceremonies of this kind and who are
being told substantially these same
things which I am now telling to you,
and the eyes of the country are upon
vou and will be constantly upon you
until the end of the war. Make up
your minds that you are in the army,
that your living conditions will be
new to you and that you will have to
adapt yourselves to army conditions
from the moment you shall be induct
ed. Play the military game as it
ought to be played and be good sol
diers every minute of the time you
spend in the military service. It is
needless to tell men of your mental
caliber that you cannot buck superior
authorities in military life, but a word
to the wise is sufficient, and to those
of you who may feel like bucking it
some time during your service, I will
just say, "don't do it."

fast defensive game at end In the
scrimmage yesterday.
The definite lineup for the game
was not announced but Coach Schlss
ler states that his material Is pretty
well lined up. The lineup of the first
string players in the order of pref
erence follows:
Ccnter-M. Munn, Dana and Thorpe.
Guards-Ross, Krelmelmeyer, W.
Munn and Dana.
Tackles Lyman, DuTeau.
Ends-Swanson. Martin, Cyprean
son, Hartley and Atkins.
Quarter Lance and Newman.
Half McMahon Schellenberg and
Howarth.
Full Hubka.
The Iowa lineup has not been an
nounced but will probably be the same
as used In the game with the Great
Lakes, with the addition of two or
three freshmen. It is understood that
the star llawkeye punter is a first
year man who did not participate in
the game last Saturday.
Season Tickets Going Slowly
Students' bargain tickets have been
dragging miserably since the opening
4. .nmnn?ot 1 T II O T t .1 i 11 1 V in the
schedule at the first of the week caus
ed the management to hesitate In
pushing the sales by sonctauon on
the campus and that may be account
able for the luke warm response of
the student body. Now that six big
attractions have been assured or
"money back," the campaign leaders
were greatly disappointed when the
record Thursday evening showed only
342 books had been sold. The Vousing
rally yesterday morning was expected
to wake the students up and cause a
stampede for tickets.
' Ample explanation has been made
that admission to one game on a sea
son ticket is fifty cents and single
admission to the same game will run
from $1.00 to $2.50, and that the $3.00
season ticket is good for reserved
seat in the choicest portion of the
stands. The management sees a long,
long trail ahead of it before the sales
reach the 2000 mark unless a rush is
staged today and tomorrow.

Iowa Has Veteran Team
the greatest team in her history.
Coach Sissler, who witnessed the
Great Lakes-Iowa game, said that the
Hawkeyes have nine veterans back
and two more that are better than old
timers. However, his hopes are high
for the old Cornhusker tank. He
said that before long we would have as
good a team as any in the country,
barring of course, any more such ac
cidents like the one which will take
away Nebraska's old star, Harold Mc
Mahon. The assistant coach declar-
u Mil
K
...1 "we have enouRh fight to lick Iowa
and It s up to the student body to see
that the team has It." ,
Captain Maclvor, In tya clear mili
tary style, cloned the bag for all
doubts aa to the outcome of the bat
tle. He will use all his power to put
Nebraska on the throne in the foot
ball world. In regard to out of town
trips, he stated. "Where any other
eonimandant gives two days, I will
give four, If necessary," because he
believes that men restrained and held
down will not develop as Tast as those
who are given a reasonable amount
of freedom. He gave a good example
of what a man will do when put on
his honor.
