IIUSKERS MAY PLAY
POST-SEASON GAME
Colorado Agriculture College,
Champion of the Rocky Moun.
tain Conference Wants
to Play
No Official Bequest Received,
But Denver Paper Carries
Story of Possible Game
Humors ot possible poat Beaton
football game between Nebraska and
the Colorado Agriculture College of
Ft. Collin, reached Lincoln Wednes
day, when copies of the Denver Post,
with that proposed game scheduled for
December 8 at Broadway park, Den
ver, were received. No official offer
from the Colorado school, which has
been champion of the Rocky Mountain
conference for several years and is
again In lice for the title, had been re
ceived by the authorities at Nebraska
Wednesday, and they were unable to
make statements concerning such a
game until they had heard definitely
the proposition that the westerners
would make.
The article quoted from the Denver
Post reads:
"Nebraska University vs. Fort Col
lins Aggies, at Broadway park, Decem
ber .
"Sounds like a dream, and It is only
a hazy one at present, but there is a
strong movement on foot to turn it into
a reality. Coach Hughes, when asked
about the proposed post-season contest,
declared he would be willing to 'play
Nebraska, if the arrangements could
be made, and admitted there was con
siderable favorable talk of the game
Always though, about the time the
regular conference season rambles into
the home-stretch, the yarn of a post
season battle with a formidable eleven
"from some other conference is sprunc.
No doubt such a game would be a great
drawing card and a financial success,
but the big question is making a prop
osition attractive enough to induce Ne
liraska to make the trip. When the
schedule conies to an end, most every
squad is glad to cast aside the pigskin
'clothes for another year. During foot
ball season teams get about all the
giidiron work they war:. It is hoped,
ho vever, inat the game vill mature,
for regardless of whe'he: it is a post
sea.son fray or not, it wi u'd Pttraci a
b:g crowd. Coach Hughes has received
en offercf Jl.OOu guar?n;e to play the
Kendall college a Tu's:i, Okla , the
Thanksgivinc day c-.ntej. The Agg;es
are now scheduled to play Colorado
college Turkey day, and of course, the
offer was promptly refused."
What Schulte Says
"The question of a post-season game
is not for me to decide." said Schulte
Wednesday morning. "So fir a I am
concerned, Nebraska would not side
step the issue, but I assuf.e that the
wishes of the Nebraska players would
be givnn first consideration, after
which it would be up to Chancellor
Avery and Dr. Lees to give their ap
proval. In case the Fort Collins school
presents a tangible proposition, Ne
braska's yes or no would not be long
delayed.
"The Cornhuskers, Just now, are in
poor trim for the three remaining
games an their regular schedule with
Missouri, Kansas and Syracuse. We
have seven or eight members of the
varsity squad on the hospital list. Most
of them are regular players. Given a
ten days' rest after the Syracuse game
on Thanksgiving day, we might be in
shape to give the Rocky Mountain con
ference champions something of an ar
gument. Let the Fort Collins school
present its proposition. Then Nebras
ka will give its answer."

EX-SERVICE MEN FORM
WOODS FOR PRESIDENT
CLUB AT UNIVERSITY
. The university "Wood for Presi
dent" club was organized by twenty
five university students at an informal
dinner held In the Grand hotel Wed
nesday evening. From this beginning
It is hoped to enroll a large member
ship from university students, both
men and women, who desire to support
Major General Leonard Wood for re
publican candidate for the presidency.
R. S. Dunlap was elected temporary
president of the club, and G. V. Graff
was made temporary secretary. An
executive committee was named, con
sisting of F. W. Carpenter. Neil Chad
derton, F. H. Richards, E. J. Yates, E.
J. Shoemaker and Roland Scott. Al
most all those who attended this ini
tial meeting and who perfected the or
ganization were ex-service men and
ex-overseas men.
As soon as the rush of mid-semester
and the usual heavy work that stu
dents have at that time, is over, the
club will meet for the university public
with an invitation for all who favor
General Wood as a presidential possi
bility, to attend. Permanent organiza
tion will be effected then and new of
ficers elected.
It Is undecided yet whether women
will be asked to form a separate organ
ization in support of the candidate or
allowed to join with the men in the
club working for the Wood nomination.
The wishes of the women students
who are interested w-tll probably de
cide that matter.
This is the first political club to be
come active in the university prior to
the coming presidential election. Such
clubs are common in the university
before elections and this is probably
only a forerunner of many others
which may be expected shortly.
AMERICAN LEGION
WANTS NEW MEMBERS
Opens Campaign Tonight for All
Service Men to Join Uni
versity Post
Report of State Convention Will
Be Read and Plans Made for
Helping Ex-Soldiers
A second general meeting of uni
versity students who have been in the
service of the government during the
world war, for the purpose of increas
ing the membership in the university
post of the American Legion, will be
held in Memorial hall Thursday night
at 7:30 o'clock. The Report of the
state convention which met in Omaha
former university man, president, will
be heard by the meeting.
It has been announced that all stu
dents who join or affiliate from other
chapters with the university post, be
fore November 11, will be considered
charter members. Those who affiliate
with the post here from other parts
may retain their home memberships.
The university post was formed at
a meeting early in October, shortly
after thirteen petitioners had secured
a charter. Officers elected at that
time were protested during a stormy
meeting and were finally re-elected
for a period of two mon'hs. A new
election will be held early in Decem
ber. Only those who are members and
whose dues are paid, will be eligible
to vote on questions before the legion
and for the election of officers.
Partly from misunderstandings and
partly from the disagreement at the
October meeting, there were not many
enrolled as members In the university
post as were expected and desired,
but the Thursday meeting should bring
several jundred service men into con
tact with the post and the majority of
these are expected to become mem
bers.
The post Is desirous of finding per
manent quarter for Its offices and pro
poses to establish an Information bu

FRESHMEN ARE FAST
GAINING CONFIDENCE
First Year Men Claim Sopho
mores are Loosing Heart and
are Leaving Before the
Anual Scrap
The freshmen class will complote
preparations for the Olympics at a
final mass meeting to be held Thurs
day morning at 11:30 In room 202,
Law building. President Tefft and
Chairman Lynch of the Olympic com
mil'ee, will address the meeting, and
will call for suggestions and plans for
the final complete downfall of the sec
ond year men.
"The sophomore spirit Is waning
fast," a husky freshman was heard to
Kay Wednesday morning. "I know five
or six of them who are taking special
pains to be out of Lincoln the morn
ing of the fifteenth." The young man
went on to say that he not only was
going out Wednesday and Thursday
might for the boxing and wrestling
tryouts. but would be present at 9:00
o'clock Saturday morning when push
made by the Olympic committee. Men
ball tryouts were to be held.
Elaborate preparations are being
are being lined up, upper-classmen who
have been through the scrap twice are
being Interviewed and necessary equip
ment is being gotten together rapidly
Everything possible is being done to
make the decisive licking, planned by
the freshmen, the worst ever adminis
tered to a sophomore class.
Freshmen already are anticipating
the much-hoped for removal of the
green caps, and a fighting spirit is rap
idly being aroused to a breaking point
in every freshman, whose ambition,
even if he is only a wee fellow, Is to
hold down a sophomore, or let some
brawny sophomore hold him down
while his fighting brothers are mount
ing the pole and pulling down the
highly prized sophomore flag.
For the completion of the organiza
tion it is necessary for every fresh
man to be out for the meeting Thurs
day morning.
"I read in the paper." declared Wal
ter P. Richardson leading man of 'he
Alcazar company of San Francisco
to Henry Shumer, director and actor
with the versatile organization,
"about a Los Angeles man who is on
inherit part of $700,000,000." Gh,"
said Shumer, happily, "I'd like to be
in on a fortune like that." What
would you do if you had $1,000,000,
000?" "I have always wanted a lot
of money, and I know just whet I'd
do." "Well?" "I'd go to the biggest
hotel in New York City" "Yes?"
"And I'd say to the waiter, "Bring me
the best planked steak you have in
the house." 'Uh, huh," "And after
I'd eaten, I'd tell the waiter to bilug
me the check." "Of course." I'd pay
the check with my money, and then
I'd take the 30 cents change to Hp
the waiter."

UNIVERSITY STOCK
COMPANY TONIGHT
"It Pays to Advertise," First of
. ... vf TT
a Series or nays wm nave
Capacity Houses
The initial performance of "It Pays
to Advertise" will be given Thursday
night in the Temple theatre. The cast
Is 1 nsplendid shape after two prelim
inary performances, and from present
Indications will play before capacity
houses during the three-night engage
ment.
Miss Genevieve Addleman, as the
secretary, plays the leading feminine
role, with Herbert Yenne, as the hith
erto unsuccessful son of a rich father
v ho "makes good" and Walter Herbert
as the "peppery' 'advertising man, tak
ing the two male leads opposite her.
Their work Is splendid and they are
most ably assisted by Miss Leone Mills
as the French countess and Mr. Alfred
Reese as the high-tempered father.
"It Pays to Advertise," although
brimful of amusing circumstances and
situations, has a message for those
who see It. Beneath the comedy of the
play is a current of truth which, be
cause of its very audacity, brings home
the value .of advertising and demon
strates by actual reactions of the au
dience how effectively advertising
campaigns of today are conducted.
New York Success
The play, an original Cohan and
Harris production, by Rol Cooper Me
gorle, was a Broadway hit when
played by Walter Hackett. The story
itself is simple. The son of a rich
soap magnate becomes a competitor
of his father and through an effec
live advertising campaign wins not
onlv a fortune but the woman he
loves. The situations are well worked
out and the lines particularly bright,
being completed by a dash and action
which holds the audience tense from
beginning to end.
With entirely new scenery, which
is most attractive, the first play is
presented with enthusiasm. From ev
ery standpoint the play at the asylum
and the penitentiary was a success,
for not only was it demonstrated that
the players were letter-prfect, but
the rough spos exising were polished
over, and a clean-cut, fast-moving,
well-organized production is the result
of the tedious preparation gone
through by the players.
The play is a financial success also,
for already practically every reserva
tion lor Friday night is taken and it
is expected that the Thursday and Sat
urday night houses will be as large.
Remaining tickets may be purchased
at the College book store.
The intention of the University
Players is to furnish for the univer
sity and Lincoln as well, a long felt
need, in the shape of a stock com
pany, which, from time to time will
present carefully chosen plays. "It
Pays t oAdvertise" is the first of the
series and is to be followed soon by
"Under Cover" with a male cast made
up entirely of university students who
were soldiers In France.

FRATERNITIES START
YEAR'S PROGRAM OF
EXCHANGE DINNERS
One hundred and fifty fraternity
men visited fraternity houses other
than their own for dinner Tuesday
evening and met forty men with whom
they might never otherwise have come
in contact in their college life. It was
the first trial of the new plan of ex
change guests each week and worked
without a hitch.
A complete schedule has been ar
ranged by those who originated the
plan Lu ls visits will continue every
week lor the school year. Fraternities
are at liberty to send whom they
please, but it is expected that they will
give erjual turns to all and will include
each man his full number of times.
In that way every man should visit
five other houses during the winter,
and should meet all the men in those
houses and ten men from each of the
other houses in his own house on the
Tuesday nights he stays at home.
Fraternities varied in their first
night visitors, some sending all fresh
men, some all upper-classmen, some
mixd them. The event Tuesday night
was watched with interest by each or
ganizaton because it was recognized as
the experimental trial and they knew
that by its success or failure the plan
would continue or be dropped. Those
who visited asked questions, found a
hearty reception waiting for them and
met many new students. The inter
fraternity council is supporting the
plan and will undertake to see that it
is continued each week.
SYRACUSE BEATS RUTGERS
Nebraska's Coming Opponents Vic
torious by 14 to 0
New York, Nov. 4. Syracuse uni
versity defeated Rutgers college in
their annual football game here to
day, 14 to 0. The orange eleven
proved too strong for the New Jersey
combination and the Syracuse goal
line was in danger but once, when
Baker, the Rutgers quarterback, in
tercepted a forward pass and sprinted
into a clear field, only to be brought
to ground by Ackley, who overtook
him after a long run. Play during
the first two periods was confined
almost entirely between the twenty
five yrrC lints, both teams holdint
well against tie oi dinar;' line rustic-:
and end runs. In the third period
Syracuse uncovered a puzzling over
head attack which quickly scored
when Abbott's pass to Ackley was in
turn thrown thirty-five yards forward
to Schwarzer, who dashed across the
line for a touchdown, from w-hlch
Ackley kicked goal.
With Rutgers' secondary deiense
forced to play far back to guard
against this form of advance Syracuse
In the final period gained half the
length of the field on two successive

the last ten yards for its second
touchdown by Erwlg, which Ackley

Missouri, Defeated by Ames, Ex
,pects to Win from
Nebraska
Long List of Injuries Keeps Ne
braska's Confidence
Down
Coach Schulte's battered warriors
depart for the land of the Tiger to
night at six o'clock. The hopes and
fears of all Cornhusker students go
with them. If the Huskers are to win
a game this year, it must surely be
this one. Missouri has a team whose
football ability cannot be scorned, but
the prevailing dope shows them to be
little stronger than the Ames Cyclones.
Nebraska, playing true to early season
form, could defeat Ames with compar
ative ease. Accordingly, If the Husk
ers stage a rally and play the game as
they played it against Minnesota and
Notre Dame, the scoreboard at Colum
bia will proclaim a Nebraska victory
Saturday.
The Missourians are preparing for a
victory over Nebraska. Pointing to
their 10-0 defeat of Ames, they believe
they will find little difficulty in dis
posing of the Huskers. They are espe
cially anxious to win over Nebraska
because of the fact that Nebraska's
coach, Harry F. Schulte, came to the
Cornhusker school from Missouri.
Schulte has tutored Tiger teams for
the last six years and the Missouri
eleven are confident they will defeat
his Nebraska product.
Seven Husker veterans will In all
probability be missing from the lineup
when the two teams meet Saturday.
Bill Day, Schellenberg and Monte
Munn are certain to be out. Day and
Schelley are both suffering from bad
ly tor a ligaments and Munn is still
nursing a sprained ankle received in
the Notre Dame game. Captain Dob
son, Howarth, Wright and Dale are in
j very poor condition, and it is doubtful
if they will be used against the Tigers.
These four are backfield men of rare
caliber and their ios is oi tertmt con
sequence to the team. The Ames game
wrought havoc with the Nebraska
squad in regard to injuries, and Sat
urday's lineup will no doubt contain
the names of several players hereto
fore considered as second string men.
OLYMPIC SPIRIT
RUNNING HIGH
Both Classes Confident of Result
of Annual Homecoming
Scrap
The Olympic fires have been kindled
not by any outward feeling of enmity
on the part of the participants, but
through the burst of spirit which has
been manifested by members of the
two under classes. Although the fresh
men with a confident cry have laughed
at the thought of a sophomore victory,
yet the second year students in a more
quiet, reserved manner have deter
mined to "whip" the first-year class
into submission.
The sophomores will hold a "pep"
meeting at 11:30 Thursday morning In
Law 101. At this time organization
will be completed, and the time for so
phomore tryouts announced. All second-year
men must be present in order
to "outscrap" the freshmen November
15.
Wrestling and boxing tryouts will be
held again Thursday evening for the
freshmen at 7 o'clock in the armory.
Tryouts for the pushball contest, tug-of-war,
and relays for first year men
will take place Saturday morning at 9
o'clock.
While the tide of battle may seem to
be In favor of the "freshies" in the
pole fight, the sophomores are strong
when it Is a question of Individual
points to be gained. Many sophomores
have had excellent training in track
and other fiel devents and have proved
themselves capable of withstanding
any foe.
With only nine days remaining be
fore the staging of the annual con
test, leaders of both classes are rush
ing their preparations forward with all
possible speed. AH the signs point to
ward one of the hardest fought fights
in tha history of the school. Both
sides are alreadr claiming the suprem
acy, the freshmen because of their
greater numbers, and the sophomores
because of their Individual efficiency.
The real test comes November 15. "
