Altogether Last Year.
800 SEASON PASSES
SOLD IN TWO DAYS

Matinee Tickets Snapped Up
With 800 season tickets sold the
first two days of the University Play
ers' campaign, the sales managers
expect to reach the goal of 1200 by
tonight when the drive closes.
Each day of the drive 400 tickets
have been sold. Last year only 250
were disposed of after two days of
intensive campaigning. Not many
more than 400 were sold altogether
last year.
"The larger sale this year is prob
ably a result of the excellence of the
last year's production. Another thing
is that the plays this year were se
lected by popular vote which was
taken last year," said William G.
Aldstadt, chairman of the ticket-sell
ing committee.
Virtually all of the matinee tick
ets which were sold at reduced rates
have been bought, according to Al
bert Erickson, manager of University
Players.
The sale this year is being con
ducted by students who are soliciting
every fraternity house, sorority
house, dormitory, and rooming
house.
The following are members of the
committee: Neva Jones, Lillian

WOULD GIVE COLLEGE
COURSE IN RELIGION
Dr. Kent of Yale Says 'Students
Want Schools of Religion
in Universities.
"The Place of Religion in a State
University" was the subject of an
address made Tuesday afternoon by
Dr. Charles Foster Kent of Yale
university. He spoke in favor of
establishing schools of religion in
connection with state universities be
fore the Nebraska Congegational
conference and a large number of
the University faculty.
In, advocating establishment of
religious schools in co-operation with
and receiving credit from state uni
versities, Dr. Kent maintained that
an institution of learning was not a
university in the full sense of the
word unless it offered the broadest
possible range of courses. That a non
seetarian course concerning itself
with the great recognized truths of
all religion can be given and should
be
given in the University, Dr. Kent
proved by citing examples of univer
sities in this country which are doing
it today.
He said that thousands are leav
ing our Universities each year lack
ing a well-rounded education and a
proper philosophy of life because the
fundamental religicus ideas are not
offered.
That schools of religion have been
established in connection with sev
eral universities and that the results
re justifying the expense, was of
fered by Dr. Kent as evidence of
their need and success. Where such
schools have been established the
classes are filled, he asserts. .Where
ne or two courses of a similar na
ture are offered, enrollment is

We do not realise that our young
popie are thinking upon these prob
'ems and are spndine their time ar-
8ung and discussing them, stated I
- vent. He added that although

"Are We Going to Have a Team
This Fall? "--Uncle Jimmy Husker
"Well, how are the boys coming?
Are we going to have another great
team this fall?"
The Old Grad settled down in the
chair in the club lounge and looked
expectantly at Uncle Jimmy. It was
a warm night for early October and
Uncle Jimmy shook out a handker
chief, wiped a generous expanse of
bald head, polished his shell-rimmed
spectacles and regarded the Old Grad
quizzically.
"Well, I know what you mean,
O. G.. but it's hard to answer. I
don't Beem to have that utter confi
dence in my judgment that I once
had. I euess it's a sign of advance
ing age. I just don't seem to know.
"I know, however, that there are
a lot of fellows who do have that
uncanny, almost superhuman sixth
sense concerning football. It is a
positive gift that they suddently ac
qire along about this time of the year

after the final whistle blows in No

The Scarlet grid warriors who

Captain Lewellen. Westopoul.

Before a crowd of 500 enthusias
tic Scarlet and Cream followers the
"fighting Cornhuskers" Wednesday
put on their last scrimmage before
the opening game at Urbana next
Saturday.
Coach Dawson put the warriors
through everything from passing to
head-to-head bucking on the scrim
mage line. At first the squad was
divided according to the positions for
which the candidates were . aspiring
and each group went through their
respective fundamentals for about
an hour. Following that came a
short "skull" practice and then a
battle royal with Coach Young's
pride.
The freshmen took the offensive
"t the start and duplicated their per
formance of Tuesday but soon the
Varsity hit their stride and the frosh
onslaught was fruitless. After many
futile attempts at the Cornhusker
forward wall the yearlings attempts
end running but they got but few
yards before McAllister or Rhodes
would break up the play.
When it came time for the Var
sity to try a whirl at the offense
the freshmen were almost helpless.
Time after time Herb Dewitz and
Dave Noble got away for touchdowns
around the first-year ends and Lew
ellen and Hartman were plowing
through the line for yardage on al
most every down. There happened
to be a Mr. Brown in the starids
whose "hangouts" is South Bend,
Indiana. It was also learned that he
was "sorta" interested in the Notre
Dame team.
. The lineup that was sent against
the freshmen was: Team "A": Mc
Allister and Rhodes, ends; Weir and
Bassett, tackles; Berquist and Ogden,
guards; Hutchison, center; Captain

Special on Illinois
Game for Sunday
Cornhusker football fans will
be given a special treat in Sun
Jay's Nebraskan. A special story
pf the contest at Illinois which
opens the 1923 Husker grid sea
son, will be written by a Nebras
kan sports writer who has been in
close touch with Cornhusker ath
letics for the past two years. He
will accompany the team and will
wire a complete story for Sun
day's paper of how Nebraska's
"Fighting Cornhskers" perform in
the inaugural fray of the season.
He will give an accurate and de
tailed account of the game, ex
plaining outstanding features of
the play, telling where the Husk
ers showed the greatest strength,
where the Scarlet was weak, and
also, possibly, giving a compari
son between "Big Ten" and Mis
souri Valley football.

MINIATURE FIELD TO
BE INSTALLED IN GYM
Band and Cheerleaders Will
"Whoop It Up" as at Home
Games; N Club Leases the
Board for Foreign Games.
Thousands of Nebraska students
are planning on seeing the Illinois
game Saturday afternoon.
The band will be there in full
force and the cheerleaders will lead
the throng in rousing yells. But in
stead oi floating out across the foot
ball field, the cheers will echo from
the rbof of the gymnasium in the
Armory.
For the first time in the history
of the University extensive plans are
being made to enable all of the stu
dents to see a "foreign" game play
by-play. A device known in all of
the larger colleges in the country,
and called a "Grid-graph Score
board" is being leased by the N club
for this and every other out-of-town
game played this year.
The board is fifteen feet long and
twelve feet wide. In the center of
it is a frosted glass, ten feet long
and five feet wide, representing the
football field. The entire apparatus
is worked by electricity.
On the side of the glass represent
ing the field are the names of all the
players. Beside each name there is
an electric light bulb that flashes
every time that player is used. When
the play is a double one, the lights
flash for both men.
Beneath the glass is a list of all
the plays and penalties used in the
jgame, with a light opposite each
play. Every time a play is made
on the field, one of these lights is
flashed showing exactly which one
it was.
The most interesting part of the
apparatus is the field itself. There
are numerous lights in back of the
frosted glass which show the exact
ward pass is thrown, the lights show
progress of the ball. When a for
where it waws thrown from, where it
fll "dead" if not caught, and where
it was" taken.
Those who have seen the board in
action at other colleges say that
when the game is in progress it is
easy for the student to imagine he
is on the sidelines.

The parade to start the Husker

in front of the Armory for the march
to the Burlington station.
Twenty-four gridsters are going
to Urbana for the opening game of
the season. By leaving the campus
a little early the long line will have
time to reach the depot and get or
ganized for cheering and song-singing.
Coach Dawson will give a short
talk before the train leaves and
Captain Lewellen will also have a
few' words to say. Several other
members of the team will probably
be called on to express their ideas
of what they are going to do to
Coach Zuppke's men.
The Cornhusker football machine
has not had a chance to hear the en
tire student body cheer this year and
today will be the only real cheering
they will have had before they take
the field at Urbana. Coach Dawson
and Captain Lewellen say this handi
caps the men somewhat and are urg
ing every student to get in line and
help the team along.
The Corncobs, Nebraska's pep or
ganization, will be in uniform to di
rect the line of march from the cam
pus to the station. The Innocents
will be in direct charge of the pa
rade. Director Quick of the Uni
versity band will have 100 musicians
ready to start at 3:15 sharp this af
ternoon. Students will find notices on all
class-room boards today urging them
to attend the rally. Classes will not
be dismissed but there are very few
classes at this time of the afternoon
and the committee in charge hopes
that everyone will be in the parade.
There will be no special order of
marching.
