K1VK CENTS pRR, vi)fTf OVER FOUR HUNDRED AT SECOND FUI1FEST Armory Seen of Gaiety When rarm Students Hold Mixer Nearly 400 Btudenta and faculty at tended the second annual united Ag mixer at the Armory Friday nlghi, en joying alike the new acquaintances the excellent program, the dancmg and the refreithmenta. It was truly one of the most successful mixers held in years and throughout the evening enthusiasm was at Its height. There were no dull moments for thoBe attending, from the scattered few who began to arrive at 8:00 o'clock to the last enthusiastic danc ers who left only when the band stopped playing. The general get-acqualnted hvm-, with each man and woman tagged, was followed at 9:00 o'clock by a most appropriate program which met with highest approval by the fun-seeking crowd. Downstairs and both bal conies were filled. The entertainers were Clarence Froble, reader and vio linist, the Talladin Male Quartet, tad word Fisher, clarinetist, and Miss Margaret Terry, vocalist. Dancing began immediately after the program with every available wo man at a premium and groups of envious men waiting for a halt or :ne musft- and a chance to "May I have the next one?" Games were indulged in by those not caring to dance. Dur ing an intermission of ten minutes refreshments were served and the dancing continued until 11:30 o'clock. The mixer wns a signal success ana is to be followed some time in the near future by a united Ag dance. LINCOLN HIGH WINS FROM SOUTH OMAHA Score One Touchdown in Each of First Three Quarters and Two in Final Lincoln high school added one more game to ita credit last Friday afternoon when the local eleven over whelmed the football team from South Omaha high. The final score was 32 0. The game was rather list lessly played, the final outcome ueer being in doubt after the first touch down was made early in the first quar ter. From that time on, the only ques tion was the size of the score. A great many substitntes were sent Q for the red and black, and after it was evident that the game was tucKea away safely, the Links made no spe cial effort to play up their usual brand of real class A football. Lamb entered the fray in the fourth period but did not get wanned up in time to get away with nny of his open field runs. Lewellan's icn thru the entire South Omaha team for the first touchdown and Holland's clever sprint thru the field for the second touchdown were pretty speci mens of open field running. Lew re peated this daeh in the third quarter when he received a punt from Ferris and dashed thru eleven membeie h the Packers' aggregation for his second touchdown, "lland scored the longest run of the game when he broke loose for a fifty-yard dash in the final period. As he raced down the field he was followed by Uvlich, young brother of the Omaha prize fighter. When Holland crossed the Packer's line the young Omaha husky threw his arms about the Lincoln halfback's neck and they went down together. The Red and Black aggregation out weighed the South Omaha team by at least twenty pounds to the man, and altho the Packers at no time had a show of winning they must be given credit for plucklness and tenacity. Considering the light material and lack of veterans with which he had to contend Coach Patton presented a creditable organization, but one tiiat Is not in a class with the Red and Black.

WATCH DOO ASSUMED DUTIES Two university girls who had made a clandestine trip down town for Ice cream after 10:30 Wednesday night and were noiselessly approach ing the door of their rooming place, were turned away by a self-appointed watch dog and compelled to wan der several blocks to rid themselves of the dog. The rule of the house required the Rills to be In by 10:30. but Ice cieam Is always tempting and so is a forbid den trip. It was a simple matter. The girls slipped out of the house, were soon eating Ice cream, then re turned home. Dut the adventure was not ended. A dog unexpectedly greeted them as they reached the porch. He barked loudly and positively refused to let them open the door. They r:riiiu away and he followed. So Intent was the dog upon his assumed duty that It was not until the girls had walked several blocks that he decided to leave them. INTER-CLASS TRACK MEET FOR STUDENTS SATURDAY MORNING An inter-class track meet will bs held on the athletic field next Satur day morning. This is the first step in Coach Schulte's idea of inter-mural track work. Varsity candidates imre been out on the track at work for the last month but Schulte would like to see every man in the university who is interested in any track events get out Saturday. This meet will be open to all otud ents of the university. The program calls for all the usual events of a track meet and every student is elig ible for oach event. Nebraska has ex cellent prospects for a strong track team this year but fall workouts are necessary for a successful season Coach Schulte and Captain McMahon re working hard to make this initial step a success and any man who has track aspirations should be on hand Saturday morning. COW IS THE TIME TO HAVE PICTURES TAKEN FOR 1920 CORKHUSKER The 1920 Cornhusker management issues a call for all Junior and senior pictures, to be taken at the Town- send studio between October 27 and November 27. The pictures are called for at this early date, to enable the editor to get a better Job of engrav ing, and at the same time to save the students an advance of thirty per cent on engraving. All pictures taken before November 27. will be charged for at the old rate of three dollars, one dollar and fifty cents of which goes for engraving, and the other dol lar and a half is paid to the studio for the picture. In case extra piccttres are ordered, the prices have been made by Townsend's to the students, of from twenty to thirty per cent off their regular price. The Cornhusker has let its engrav ing contract to me Bureau of En graving at Minneapolis. This con tract stipulates an increase of its cost of engraving after November 27; and we are giving the students a chance to have their pictures taken, before this price becomes effective. After November 27 the price of each eneravlng will be two dollars, but the studio price will remain the same. All pictures are arranged in alphabet ical order and it is paramount mat all the pictures are in within the spe cified time. All pictures .taken late will not only cost fifty cents extra. but will have to be placed at the end of each section. The Townsend Studio has provided for two operating rooms especially to take care of the students, and every effort will be made to give the students perfect service. Last year the editor had to rusn everything thru, in order to get the books out on time. Your co-operation at this time is necessary to make this year's annual the best Cornhus ker ever.

EXTENSIVE PLANS FOR BASKETBALL Inter-mural Contests Will Be Feature in the Coming Season All men who Intend to partici pate in either Freshman or Var sity basketball are requested by Coach Schiisler to apr-ly for equipment at the office of the athletic department before No vember 6. Coach Schlssler Is now making ex tensive plans for a complete system or inter-mural basketball .it the Uni versity of Nebraska. The same plan will be carried out later in both track and basketball. Nebraska Is sadly lacking In my form of Inter-mural athletics and the present athletic de partment intends to put the Cornhus ker school on the map In this pro ject. With the present gymnasium i.-icll-itles il will be Impossible to accommo date more than twenty-five Varsity candidates and half as many freshen at one time. For this reason Coach Schlssler is anxious to ascertain as soon as possible the exact number of men who expect to play the basket game this season, and desires their application for equipment at once. Those whose applications are accept ed to start training Immediately. The men who are not accepted for the Varsity squad will be eligible for 1Ue college teams. It is Coach Schisslers idea to organize a team in every col lege of the University and these teams will playall season. A meeting will be called next week to perfect the plans for the inter mural system and large delega ,o.i! are expected from all the colleges. A competent manager will be assigned to each college team. When any man playing on any of the college teams shows exceptional ability he wi.. oe drafted to the Varsity squad. All men who play with the aVrsity outfit will be ineliigble for both inter-mural and inter-fraternity games. An elimination tournament for the championship of the University will be held at the end of the season, in which the teams of all the colleges will compete. This will In no way effect the Inter-fraler-nity tournament, which will be held as usual. MATHEMATICAL CLUB HOLDS FIRST MEETING The Mathematical Club held its first meeting of the year on Thurs day, October 23, in Faculty hall. About thirty-five members were present. Professor W. C. Brenke of the De partment of Mathematics gave a very interesting talk on the" "Classification of Real Numbers." The election of officers followed. The following of ficers were elected for the academic year 1919-1920: President, Joslah A. Brooks, '21. Vice-president, Miss Stella Abra ham, '20. Secretary-treasurer, Benjamin F. Margolin, 20. Extending an invitation is like de claring war: Gives one a grand and glorious feeling, but afterwards the music has to be faced. Automobiles are No Curiosities Around the Campus Machines Have Simplified the Making of 8-o 'clocks But Beware of Speed Laws The slow old days when It was rumored that two or three glided youths rnd maidens drove up to their classes at the university to au tomobiles, are no more. Nineteen- nineteen finds the streets surround ing the university campus lined with machinet from ea;iy in the morning until late in the afternoon. It is so much easier to "make that 8 o'clock" with the car and ratner lets son or daughter bring car No. 2 down town in the morning. Some fa thera who live far away In the wilds of western sand hills have even been good enough to let son or daugh ter bring car No. 2 down to Lluco.n with them. It is auch a great convenience, you know. Think of the tune daughter area by going to class In. her own car.

STRAIGHT FOOTBALL -WINS FOR NEBRASKA AGGIE ELEVEN Consistent line plunging of a heavy backfleld won for the Nebraska Ag gies In the game with the University Place high scool at the university farm Friday afternoon. The score was 24 to 6. The University Place team was outweighed several pounds to the man and its light line l'-iilcd utterly to hold the heavy plunging of Hummel and Higgins of the Ag?ies. Time and time again these two backs found big holes in the line of their opponents and waded thru for long gains. Koontz, the big Aggie center, played a stellar game and repeated ly hurled himself thru the high school line to break up plays. The Aggies have been pracwemg less than three weeks and only the lack of science and speed kept their score down. Playing little but straight football they carried the ball four times the distance that their oppo (Continued on Page Four.) Longer valuable as a seven-passenger motor car.

The officers of the Lincoln Auto mobile club have Just begun to wake up to the startling fact that a large number of speeders are university students, many of them women. They have been lenient to such offenders in the past, but the day of grace for the gas-demon will soon be over. Fa ther might as well take warning. The streets of Lincoln are not speed ways. There are old women and children to cross the streets here too. The boy who steps on the Juice ioo strongly and to whom the smell of gasoline means to push Just a Mttle harder on the accelerator, is going to have some trouble making text books and laboratory feea cover all of his expenses to the future.

HERS AND SOONERS BATTLE TO 7-7 TIE IN Failure to Deliver Necessary Punch at Critical Times Robs Nebraska of Victory Oklahoma's Much-Boasted Aerial Style of Play Fails to Catch Cornhuskers Napping Nebraska's lack of fight In the pinches caused a seven to seven tie score In the Cornhusker-Sooner clash at Omaha Saturday. The Hunkers scored early In the second quaiter and again In the third period car ried the ball within one Toot of the Oklahoma goal line but were unable to push It over. The Sooner score came in the last quarter when one of Captain Dobsons punts were blocked on Nebraska's twenty yard line and Davis, Sooner star, made a brilliant end run and placed the pig skin across the Husker's line. Ten thousand gridiron fans braved the icy atmosphere to witness the big double bill at Ronrke park, and the same ten thousand fans went home unsatisfied. Bolh games' were draws. The Creighton Catholics held the heav ier Marquette lads to a scoreless tie while Nebraska and Oklahoma each looked like winners during the first gleaned one touchdown and each half. They broke up the Sooner forward passes and hit the line ami skirted the ends for fair gains. The much heralded aerial game ot the Sooners failed to catch ihe Hus kers napping. Owen's men attempt ed pass after pass in the early per iods of the fray only to have them incomplete or intercepted by the wary Nebraskans. Out of twenty-two at tempts only eight passes were com pleted but the majority of these were for long gains. Oklahoma's total gain on forward passes amounted to 161 yards, while Nebraska completed none. The Cornhuskers played strictly a straight brand of football. Their line smashing tactics, however, naa little effect on the Sooner line until the second period. After a series of K.

Wisconsin 14 Illinois 10. Iowa 9 Minnesota 6. Notre Dame 53 Western State Normal 0 Washington 13 Grinnell C. Ohio 13 Michigan 3. Missouri 3 Drake 0. Kansas University and Iowa state College fought to a scoreless draw Saturday at Ames. The field was muddy and as a result both teams resorted largely to a kicking game in which the Jay hawkers hau slight edge on the Iowf.ns. The ball was kent in Iowa territory a great nart of the time. Nebraska meets Ames here next Saturday and Kan sas here on November 15. The out come of this weeW's game should give an indication of the Cornhusk ers' chances against the Kansas out fit. Washington and Jefferson College upset a bucketful of dope and trounced the crack Syracuse team 13 to 0. Syracuse was outplayed in all department of the game. Syra rune had looked forward to the hampionship of the east and expect ed an easy victory over Washington and Jefferson. The result of this eame strengthens the hopes of Corn huskers supporters that the New Yorkers will meet another surprise when they tackle Schulte's men here on Turkey day. Drake university also sprang i surprise and held the Missouri Tig ers to a 3-0 score. The Missouri team nut no a miserable brand of football and were lucky to emerge with a vfrtni-T. Ther displayed, a much poorer form than to the Ames rame a week ago. Unless the Tig- era sure sreat rally the Corahuak era should be victorious at Colum bia on November S.

In the third quarter Oklahoma abandoned the PHssing Kame fo, time and resorted to tearing through the Cornhusker line, Davis' run for a touchdown was similar to Scncllen berg's famous sprint at Minnesota.

Once through the line he found a clear field to the goal. Dobson attempted a drop-kick from the middle of the field In this period hut the kick was wild. The Sooners tried a place kick in the fourth quarter but the ball fell short of the bar and rolled over the goal line. In the kicklne department Dobson had a slipht advantage on his Soon er opponent.
