ty to display their prowess the men
ing of the Kansas-Nebraska game.
Saving "Pep" for Olympics
So far there has been little or no
indication of pro-Olympic outbreaks;
evidently both classes have decK'.od
to conserve all the "pep" they pon
pnosti for the big scrap. That there
will be an annual amount of enthu
siasm In evidence at the Olympics;
is the opinion of the upperclass com
mitteemen who have been observing
the spirit and actions of the tvo class
es. The freshmen this" year have shown
unusual spirit for even a first-yea-"bunch,"
and their remarkable sup
port of the all-freshmen party proves
that they can easily organize. Ine:
have taken a large amount of inter
est in class politics and have dis
played a genuine desire to accomplish
something in their four-year colle;o
course.
The sophomores, on the otho; h:i..,
who almost established a record for
class activities when they were froah
men Ir.j; year, in spite of the most dis
tressing war conditions, have evident
ly preserved all the spirit of old and
will bitterly contest the claims of (In;
freshmen for recognition.
A number of last year's freehuicn
distinguished themselves with in div
idual honors both on the track and on
the field. A number of others entered
Into other clasfc activities. As in
former years big "pep" meetings of
both under-classes are expected soon.
These will serve to kindle the spirit
for the final clash In two weeks.
NO MORE 'PIPE' COURSES
-FOR UPPER CLASSMEN
At the meeting of the faculty hold
Saturday at the Chemistry building
a new plan for the division of the
Arts snd Science college Into two
units, senior and junior, was dis
cussed. The plan as stated is to
place the senior nd junior rl.-ipso"
in wliM will be termed the senio
(Mvision and the freBhmen and sopho
mores in the second or Junior division.
The idea is to prevent upperelass-
men from taking 'pipes' from what is
in reality first or second year work
and which their training should not
require. Under the plan discussed,
upperclassmen taking Inferior work
would be penalized to the amount of
cridts the work affords should hey
'stoop to conquer.' Chancellor Avery
and Dean Buck have been studying
the situation for some time and give
the plan their approbation and sup
port.

Cornell wins the "Intercollegiates" year after year. Cornell has

gan has from 350 to 500 men In track.
Missouri wins the "Valley" year after year. Missouri has over
150 men out for track.
Nebraska has had 30 to 40 in the past. Tut 250 men on the
Hold and we will take our rightful position in this sport.

it is as well known, despite some of

Right hundred freshmen gatheied til

brate their first class party. From
every standpoint th frolic was an
unqualified success.
The Ice wITs broken during the ear
ly part of tho evening when the crowd
played group games such as "Thieo
Deep" and "Dodge Hall". Here first
year men lost what shyness they had
brought with them and entered Into
the informal spirit of the affair. Fol
lowing the gamcH a short entertain
ment of musical and dancing numbers
was given. Tho remainder of the
evening was devoted to dancing.

A short address by President Tur

ni.nl was enthusiastically greeted.
Ti lit urged all freshmen to purticl-
rat in tlv Olympics on November
15. promising that If they did their
class would be victorious over the
sophomores.
The Armory was decorated with or
anee and black bunting and corn
stalks and pumpkins. Refreshments
consist ing of doughnuts, apples and
pop were appropriate to the rustle
appearance of the gymnasium.
I The presence of a small number of
upper-classmen was noticed during
tho evening. It was remarked mat
they were the first to line up for re
freshments. Perhaps the manner in which tho
locals won to themselves the name
Cyclones would somewhat clear up
matters. This nickname wa3 handed
to the grid eleven back in the early
'OO's when tho college was yet in Us
infancy. It had been the custom to
playing some two or three games
week at that time. It seems that
this year "Pop" Warner, the wizard
oi the gridiron was then guidiu.1; des

tember when he left for Co;noM
where he was a student at the Ji'.e.

GIRLS PLAN CORNHUSKER
PARTY FOR HOMECOMING
The annual Girls' Cornhuser
luncheon will be held on November
15, at the Windsor hotel, before the
Kansas game, On homecoming day.
Only three hundred tickets are to be
sold, which means that those who
want to attend this event should pro
cure tickets as soon as possIWe.
Tickets are now on sale at the Stud
ent Activities' o ce, at sixty cents.
The girls' cornhusker' luncheon
was omitted last year because of war
conditions, but it is one of the tradi
tions of Nebraska which no girl
wants to miss. Peppy talks, toasts,
and yells will feature the occasion.
The W. S. G. A who is in charge of
the occasion, requests sorority houses
not to serve lunch on this day.
The only kind of a strike that does
good Is the strike that finds an oil

pounds to the mnn, the plucky Iowphb
played rings around their beery op
ponents and clinched the game p ihi
second quarter when halfback Davis
delivered a pretty drop kick rrom the
twenty yard line. Schnlie'H men were
woefully oiT foi in and seemed unable
to cope with the speedier boys Irom
Ames.

on the field and the difference In
weight and size became more appar
ent, Cornhusker supporters took in
crei'M'd l';ii:h in the ahllltv nf their
j team to win. But when tho whistle
blew and the Hay began, the Husk-
ers gradually lost their able appear
ance as the Ames backs repeatedly
tore through the line and around fie
nd for long gains.
A large delegation of Ames ro-;:crs
were on hand to cheer the team on
to victory. The cadet bands of both
schools were out on the fields and
I vied with each other In chiming forth
the snappy tunes of their institutions.
Both schools were represted by male
quartets who sang their school an
thems in friendly rivalry. Nebraska
had the best b.-nd, the best quartette,
and the most rooters, but Ames had
the best football team.
The game was nip and tuck during
the first quarter, Nebraska having
possibly a slight edge on the visitors.
Schellenberg tore off a clever 25 yard
sprint in this period only to fumble
when tackled by Boyd, the CyclDne
midget quarterback. All the breaks
of the game seemed to favor the lo-
vrii i bui these vore not responsible
for the defeat of the Huskers. Hin
terman, Davis, and Boyd, coupled
with the poor playing of the Huskers,
were sufficient reason for the Iowa
victory.
Kicking Duel
Tho second quarter was largely a
period of exchanging punts. Neither
team seemed able to make any great
gains and Dobson and Boyd carried on
a eont inttous kicking duel in which
the Nebraska captain slightly out
distanced -his Cyclone opponent. A
costly fumble by Lyman gave Ames
tse ball on Nebrahka's 44 yard line
and here Coach Maysor promptly si nt
Bill Davis, his speediest halfback, in
to the game. It was the first game
in which Davis had played for four
weoVs rnd he seemed anxious to make
up for lost time. The Cyclones
smashed onward to Nebraska's twen
ty yard line, where Davis stepped
back and lifted a drop kick squarely
between the posts and above the bar.
The count was Ames 3, Nebraska 0
and the scoreboard never changed.
The Huskers fired their last shot at
the beginning of the second half,
making use of the same trick with
which Notre Dame recently defeated
them. Dobson received the kick off
and quickly passed the ball to Schel
lenberg who raced down the field for
sixty-five yards before he was downed
by Barker. This was the only thrill
ing play exhibited by the Huskers
during the entire game. For the first
time, they were within striking dis
tance of the Cyclone goal, the ball
restling on Ames' 15-yard line. In
four downs, the Cornhuskers failed to
gain a single inch. The old time scor
ing punch was sadly lacking and
Ames took the ball and punted out
of danger.
The score was not the only disap
pointing feature of the game. Billy
Day, plucky Husker center, was car
ried from the field with an injured
leg and will be out of the game f r
some time. Day was injured in the
second quarter and upon examination
it was found that the ligaments were
badly torn. The loss of Day as a

was an excellent man in the line ana
