"The 1921 Corahusker."
Our vision in planning your 1921 Cornhusker has not been
marred by sticking to old time-worn ideas of the Vintage of
'76.
We are scouting now for new daring plans, special features,
striking color schemes, novel typography and modern art
the kind that will make the 1921 Cornhusker stand forth and
be absolutely distinctive just like a red tie on a Preacher.
We realize that we can only make this book distinctly dif
ferent by allowing every member of the staff the widest scope
for the exercise of his individual talents. Our idea, however,
is to make this the book of the University and representative
of every member in it in order to make our dreams come true
and put forth an Annual that will be pre-eminent.
We urge that every one in this school give loyally of his
time and make a research for ideas and features that will
make this book a real work of art, a book that you can be
proud of and look back upon many years from now with a
feeling of joy in having a hand in its making.
We want our Annual to be more than a record book. We
want it to be an inspiration. We want it to go forth into the
homes and instil into the minds of the High School boy and
girl that Nebraska University is the place to go.
We want it to reach the old "Grad." and bring him fresh
memories and revive the days of real sport when he trod the
green with his lass on his arm and breathed tender words in
her ear.
We want it to reflect his days of youth when he himself was
on the gridiron fighting for the Scarlet and Cream, or digging
his cleats in the old sod as he smacked the pill over the right
field fence and scampered home with the winning run.
"Those were the real days," you will say five years from
now as you look at this book, and you will value it because of
its sentimental and intrinsic value. You will value it because
you had a hand in its making. Is it too much, therefore, to
ask you to do your part in the creating of an Annual that will
reflect greater glory upon your University?

lishing hospitals and medical stations
in Thibet.
He was in China on his way to
Thibet when Chinese brigands cap

FOB US GAME
Nebraska Will Contest With Mighty
Jayhawk Next Satur
day. Contest To Be Battle
Men Return from Eastern Trip
in Good Shape for Schedule
Ahead.
Nebraska bepins preparations
this woek for their big battle
with the Kansas Jayhawks at
Lawrence next Saturday. The
Cornhusker football aggregation
arrived in Lincoln yesterday
morning. All of the men are in
good condition after a ten days
trip in the east.
The defeat at the hands of Penn
State is an incentive to the men
to get out and work harder to
win the remainder of the games
on the schedule. A defeat by a
team of Penn State's ability bv
such a small score is no dishonor
to any team considering the size
of the scores Penn State has run
up on other eastern teams this
season.
The Nebraska-Kansas game is
certain to be a real fight from
the first kick-off until the final
whistle. The Huskers trounced
the Jayhawks last year to the .
tune of 19 to 7. There is every
indication that the Huskers will
duplicate their feat of last year
when they mix with the Kansans.
Kansas lost to Oklahoma Saturday
by a one-sided score. This defeat is
sure to arouse the "fighting spirit" of
the Jayhawks to the utmost. The
Husker-Jayhawk contest will take
place on Homecoming day for the
Kansans and the Kansas men are
sure to put up a real battle for their
Homecoming crowd.
Schissler Scouts Kansas.
Coach Schulte gave the men a light
workout in the gymnasium owing to
the failure of the suits to arrive.
Assistant Coach Schissler scouted the t
Kansas-Oklahoma contest and reports
that the Kansas aggregation have the
