formal speech, will tell about the
prospects this season.
The members of the Innocents So
ciety have " planned a rally before
each home football game of the year.
It is thought that this is the best
way to inject the maximum amount
nf pep into the student body before
the gpmes. Each rally will be held
at a different place, and each one
will be entirely different In regard to
tho program. Rome of the rallies will
be held on the football field and
others will be held on the campus.
A shirt-tail parade has been scheduled
for the evening before one of the
biggest games of the year, similar to
the one before the Notre Dame game
last year. Rallies in the shape of
barbecue, an old-fashioned bonfire and
snake dance and outdoor pep meet
ings arc part of the program outlined.
Chance to See Them Together.
The fact that the team will be
seated on the platform where all stu
dents may see the men who will
battle with the Topeka warriors Sat
urday, will swell the attendance of
Freshmen to the limit. First-year
students have expressed a desire to
see the whole Varsity together at
close range and their wish will be
gratified Friday night. It is probable
that n number of the grid men will
be called upon to give short talks, in
addition o that given by Captain Day
The Freshmen initiations were the
Prst. Or. ti,P "TTiM'ni" of Nebraska
and the new chant have echoed

tions Freshmen Vill be able to yell
and sing Nebraska praises with as
much confidence and feeling as stu
dents who bave been at the Univer
sity for several semesters.
Last yearns cheer leaders togethc
"ith those who are trying out for

MONASTER CALLS
FOR TRACK MEN
More Cross-Country Runners Needed
to Assure the University a Strong
Aggressive Team.
ARRANGEMENTS UNDERWAY FOR
MEETS WITH KANSAS CITY
AND OMAHA.
An appeal for more men has been
made by Coach McMaster of the
Cross-Country team. As Nebraska is
well represented in other athletic
circles the coaches are anxious fo'
enough men to turn out so that a
credible showing may be made by the
Cross-Country team. The only way
in which this can be accomplished is
fo bave more men out. Every man
in the University should get out at
once and start training. A man does
not need to have any experience for
this work, but if he just shows that
he is willing to work he will be given
Tue recognition. This work will help
develop a man's speed and endurance
and will be a good starter for basket
ball and track. Arrangements are
Mnder way to have Nebraska repre
sented at the Kansas City Athletic
Club Meet and tho meet held by the
Omaha Y. M. C. A. Nebraska wil'
also be represented at the Missouri
Valley Meet and one large Eastern
meet.
Every man who reports regularly
for woik and registers for Thysica'
Education 21 will be given one hour's
credit. There is no special time to
report for this work, any lime tha'
is convenient for the Individual wil'
do. Mr. McMaster will arrange se
that either he or Captain .lohn Gibb"
will be on hand to give necessary
advice or to help out in any way pos
'ih'e. There will be three and pos--,;hly
four courses over which the
Tien will bo trained. This is 'join
arranged so lhat the work will n
become a bore to the men. C.mc'
McMaster also emphasizes the iaC
'ft it is not necessary for the men
to have fpiked shoes for this worl
but that any old shoes will do.
Let's go Nebraska and make thi-Oross-Oountry
team one to be prom'
of.
