The Nebraska Cornhuskcrs
-closed the 1920 football season
Turkey day when the Washinp-:
tnn State "Coujrars overcome a
thirteen point lead and defeated
the Scarlet and Cream, 21 to 20.
The past season has been one
of the greatest in the history of
the University. The Nebraska
schedule included such teams as
Notre Dame. Perm State. Kutgers,
Washington State, Kansas and other
football aggregations of note In the
football -world. The record nade, for
the season of 1920 is, one of the
greatest on record at the University.
Three defeats are recorded against
the Huskers. with one tie and five
victories to their credit.
The Washington State aggregation,
touted as one of the greatest teams
on the Pacific Coast, proved their
ability and lived up to their reputa
tion when they were able lo overtake
the Huskers in the fourth period of
t!;e game and turn an almost sure de
feat into victory. The Huskers -were
able to pile up a big lead in the first
three periods of play but the aerial
work of the Cougar backs proved
lhelr downfall and when the final
whistle blew the men from the West
had a one point margin on Coach
Schulte's proteges.
Game a Fierce Contest.
The game without a doubt is one
of the greatest seen on Nebraska field
in some time. The Huskera went into
the game for blood and the result
was twenty points in the Nebraska
scoring column. The entire Husker
team was in every play and fought
every minute of the game ml were
able to spill the Cougar offense time
and again when a big gain seemed
certain.
Fred Dale played a wonderful and
outstanding offensive game and was
one of the Husker's surest ground
earners nntil forced from the game
on account of Injuries.
Hubka and Captain Day playing
their last games for the Scarlet and
Cream were a tower of strength both
on the offense and defense. Captain
Day stopped the Cougar formations
many times before they had done any
damage. The Cougar defense was
unable to stop the vicious offense put
by the Cornhoskers especially in
the second half when the Nebraskans
asade six first downs "In succession.
The Cougars braced and held the
Hufkers for down on the two yard
Hae.
Statistics of the game show that
Nebraska had the Washington State
sen outclassed in the number of first
dorns and passes completed and
eiined considerable more ground than
did the Cougars.
Dale was the first to score for Ne
braska when he Intercepted s Cougar

Thief Gets Lock-jaw in Hands
And Grabs Camouflage budget
Many pieces of gilt plaster of Paris

morning told the story of an unsuc
cessful attempt Sunday nigljt to rob
the school Qf a supposedly gold
nugget valued at $140,000. But the
thief was fooled!
Nuggets of that precioua metal are
not apt to be reclining peacefully in

especially nuggets wor th $140,000.
Thieves, however, do not develop the
power of reasoning, and take what
seems to them "well worth their
while." Such Is always the case after
they are afflicted with a severe case
of lock-jaw in the hands. No clue to
LARGE RESPONSE FOR
BASKETBALL MATERIJL
Goodly Number of Huskers Out to
Make Indoor Quintet this
Season.
The first call for basketball candi
dates brought out a large amount of
promising material for the Varsity
team last evading. Coach Schissler
was very well pleased with the turn
out and the prospects for a winning
team are very bright. The shortage
of time is going to handicap the de
velopment of the team to a certain
extent but barring accidents Ne
braska should be represented by one
of the fastest cage fives in the history
of the school. Last year's team is
practically intact with the exception
cf Schellenberg and Pickett, Captain
Bailey is of the opinion that the
Husker quintet will be Just as clever
as last year's team or more so.

turned out for the workout last eve

ber of last year's Freshmen and mem

the Identity of the prowler has been
discovered. .
The cast was an imitation ot the
largest gold nugget in the world. It
was plated with gold valued at about
$18. The cast was Inclosed in a
glass collection case on the third
floor of the building. The thief pried
open one of the windows of the first
floor and entered the Museum.
The evidence offered shows that
without disturbing anything else, he
went directly to the third floor and
broke the glass case containing the
camouflage mint Evidently he was a
fairly good judge of values, for, find
ing that it was not solid gold, he
threw it out the open window and
broke It. It was thus that the Janitor
found it early Monday morning.

University Annual Stages
for Subscriptions this
Week.
Drive
Thirty University co-eds, filled with
the vigor of Lincoln's first touch or
winter, thronged into the Student
Activities office by 8 a. m. today to
get subscription books to start to
in the 1921 Cornhusker sub-
j i n -
scription drive as soon as the gong
sounded that opened the campaign.
Although bad weather will interfere
somewhat with the personal solicita
tion on the campus for the next two
days at least, interest in the cam
paign is not lagging a bit fra
ternity houses, rooming houses, down
town stores and every other place
where there are any ioyai orn
huskers the solicitors are making-
their way.
Subscribers are required to deposit
only $2 at the time they turn in
their subscriptions and will give the
additional $3 at the time they ob
tained their annuals next spring. In
this wav. it will be possible for any
student to subscribe even though he
is pressed for money at this time.
It is expected that better than sou
students, faculty and alumni will pu
on the tag that lists them with the
loyal Nebraskans who have sub
scribed, for the Cornhusker. before
the day is over. Girl solicitors are
expected to spend a considerable
time today rounding up persons who
had previously promised their sub
scriptions.
Drive Lasts Five Days.
The big campaign will last five days
winding up at 6 p. m. Saturday. The
Cornhusker management will check
over the books and announce me
winners of the three big prizes as
early as possible.
The three organliations obtaining
the highest number of subscriptions
for the annual in the set time of the
campaign will be awarded $75, $50
and $25 respectively, for first, second
and htird places.
It was decided that all sororities
dormitory organizations and literary
societies should be permitted to take
part in the campaign. Representatives
of nearly ereryone of these organl
iations were on hand at the Student
Activities office when the campaign
was launched at 8 o'clock.

WEEK 0 LIUCQLII
Big Event of Year Will Be Appropri
ately Celebrated this
Fall.
Ticket Number Limited
Part of Tradition of School When
all Male Students Make
Merry Together.
The banquet board will be the
center of attraction Friday night,
December 3. at 6:15 o'clock, in
the Lincoln hotel ballroom, when
Nebraska men will assemble for
the annual Cornhusker banqxict.
The feast, riven in commemora
tion of the work of the football
players, is usually held close on
the heels of the football season.
Because the 350 tickets validated for
last year's banquet were sold within
a few days after the first announce
ment of the event and many Univer
sity men were turned away the night
of the feast, it is urged that tickets
be purchased at once for this year's
banquet.
The ballroom at the Lincoln hotel
has been chosen instead of the dining
room this year because of the larger
number of guests that can be accom
modated. Tickets are selling for $1.75
at all fraternity houses and in the
Student Activities office. Fraternities
are asked to omit dinner at their
chapter houses Friday night and at
tend fhe feast in a body.
Valuable as Tradition.
The Cornhusker banquet is one or
Nebraska's oldest traditions. Three
years ago it almost died out because
of the hilarity and noisy merriment
displayed. A few loyal alumni re
vived the affair, however, and ban
quets continued to be held, although
no rowdyism was apparent
There will be absolutely no van-

jdalism or boisterous conduct displayed
at the 1920 banquet," is the edict of
University authorities. "A permanent
University tradition cannot let itself
be forever barred by the actions of a
few disloyal and indifferent Nebras
kans."" This year the old Cornhusker
snirit and life will be present accord-
hie to them, but the one-time ap
parent rowdyism will be dampened by
the formality of the regular banquet
procedure.
Last Year's Banquet
The banquet of the past school

of the Innocents Socieflr. was success
ful from every standpoint Dr. L. D.
