BEST AVV6WAN
APPEARSSOOH
COMICS' STAFF PRESENT A
SPLENDID COLLEGE PAPER.
ON SALE THE 15th
Chuck Full of Real Comedy Stuff for
Blase Nebraska Humor
Seekers.
The fun book Is coming soon.
Awgwan, which made its first appear
ance with the September issue, will
bring to the students this month a
brut of original jokes, poems and
sensational short stories, and storieF
wMch eminate from the pen of
Awgwan's famous Jokesmlth, Gayle
Vincent Orubb. And others there are,
too, who are contributing to this issue
of the college comic. Men and wo
men whose wit is the joy of the
lives of their friends, whose Insight
Into the humorsus is uncanny and
whose power to tell the story in that
laughable way Is unsurpassable.
Awgwan takes the back seat for no
college joke magazine in the country.
Its staff ot writers and its squad of
cartoonlstB is one of the best balanced
groups which has ever yet put fun
In print for the public.
Awgwan has secured a series of
stories of college life similar to the
famous "Dere Bill" letters of the late
war in the shape of the "Dear Maggie,
your Henry" letters. This is 'a series
of letters from the boy Just entering
college to his home town girl de
scribing In his plain and youthful way
the sights he sees and the things he
learns. These stories are full of
bright spicy smiles and everyone will
be interested when they find that the
author is none other than the already
famous "Matilda Jane," whose daily
squibs In the Nebraskan get down to
the roots of life itself In that catchy
helpful way.
And the cartoonists. They come in
numbers In the October Issue. New
and old, the artist line-up is stronger
and snappier than ever before. With
numerous small carlcltures they por
tray the bright side of college life
and throw into the paper that spice
which nothing but pictures are able
to do.
So when the Awgwan comes out
be up on your toes or you will be a
loser. The copies will sell for the
same old price but they will be at a
premium to those who come late. The
best time to get Awgwan is when it
first appears and those who miss it
will feel the loss thereof when the
others tell them of its rich and ribald
nature.

ALL OFFICIALS CHOSEN EXCEPT

KNOW COLORADO PLAYS
Team in Tip-Top Shape and Ready
for a Stiff Battle With
Colorado.
Huskers who will probably
start against the Colorado"
Aggies:
Left end Swanson.
Left tackle Pucelik.
Left guard W. Munn.
Center Day (captain).
Right guard M. Munn.
Right Tackle Weller
Hubka.
or
Right end Dana.
Quarterback Newman.
Left halfback Hartley.

Fullback Hubka or Wright.
Schulte and the Huskers are ready.
The final scrimmage has been held
and the Scarlet and Cream warriors
are anxiously waiting for the starting
whistle that shall send them Into
action against the Colorado Aggies.
The past two days have seen the
Varsity battle against the Freshmen
who were using Colorado plays
gleaned by Scout Schlssler and the
Nebraskans feel fully confident that
they can break up any formation ever
conceived by the Aggie mentor.
The work of a scout in gathering
'.nformation concerning opposing teams
:annot be over-estimated and Schlssler
brought back plenty of information
concerning tne team which clashes
with Nebraska. He nas drilled his
Yearling team with these plays and
formations and used them in practice
against the Varsity. The famous
triple pass play, which won the Rocky
Mountain conference championship
for the Aggies last year, was worked
by the Freshmen on one occasion
and was good for a sixty-yard gain.,
The lineup that Coach Schulte will
start against the Westerners will con
tain practically the same names as
the lineup which started against
Washburn. There is a possibility that
Hubka will be shifted to tackle, how
ever, and Wright used at fullback In
his place. Wright did not play In
the Washburn game as he has bees
suffering all season from a severe
"charley-horse" but will doubtless be
in condition to play tomorrow.
An excellent prray of officials has
been secured to officiate tomorrow.
E. C. Quigley, of St Mary's College,
Kansas, will referee; Dr. J. H. Rellly,
of the Kansas City Athletic Club, will
umpire: the head linesman has not
as yet been chosen but a competent
official will be selected for mis
position.
Aggies Are Hopeful.

Editor of the Rocky Mountain Col
