CLOSESATUROAY
Committees Expect That Quota
of 4,000 Tickets Will Be
More Than Filled by Middle
of Week.
INDIVIDUAL HONORS GO
TO ARLINE ROSENBERRY
Request That Solicitors With
Unsold Books Turn Them in
Immediately at Student Ac
tivities Office.
With almost 4,000 tickets sold the
student athletic ticket campaign
closed Saturday noon after three
days of feverish activity on the part
of the committees in charge. The
quota for the drive, which was 4,000
tickets 1,000 more than last year
is expected by the committee to be
more than filled by the middle of
this week.
Arline Eosenberry, of the College
of Arts and Sciences, won individual
honors in the campaign with a total
of 110 sales. Charles Yungblut, who
lead at the close of the first day of
the campaign by a five sale margin,
was a close second, having sold 105
tickets.
It has not been possible yet for the
ticket selling committee to make a
complete check on the sales because
several ticket sellers have not yet
checked in their unsold books.
All students having unsold tickets
are requested by the committee to
turn them in as soon as possible at
the student activities office in Me
morial hall. Although the campaign
on the campus is closed students may
still buy season tickets at the activ
ities office. '
"The campaign on the whole was
very successfull," Kenneth Cozier,
general chairman of the drive, said
Saturday afternoon. "The commit
tees," he added, "wish to thank the
students who sold the tickets and
the student body as a whole for
their generous support."
Separate committees for each day
of the drive were appointed in each
college. The largest number of
tickets was sold on Wednesday, the
first day of the campaign.
Dorothy Sprague was the highest
individual saleswoman for Friday,
the last day of the campaign. Miss
Spragu sold thirty tickets.

ADMIT CHILDREN FREE
TO OKLAHOMA GAME
Pass Privilege Due to Activity
of Rotary Club, Y. M. C. A.
and Boy Scouts.
Several thousand children were
admitted free to the Nebraska-Oklahoma
game yesterday thru the ac
tivity of the Boy Scouts, Y. M. C. A.
and the Rotary Club. All children
from 9 to 14 were extended the free
pass privilege.
Passes were distributed by the
public school teachers and the Y. M.
C. A. to all children within the age
limits. The Boy Scout organiza
tion patroled the sections at each end
of the field where the youngsters
were gathered and were responsible
for maintaining order. The high
places at each end of the gridiron
were covered with the children.
Scouts were on hand thruout to en
force order, since it was under guar
antee of good behavior that the re
quest was granted.
University authorities have wanted
m the past to grant such privileges
to school children, but lack of space
and no guarantee of order made the
Plan impossible. The new stadium
and co-operation with the Boy
Souts have caused the change.
A. S. Dougall, of the Rotary Club,
who has worked for some time on
the matter and aided materially in
securing both University and Scout
consent to the plan. It is thought
that college spirit will be aroused
and a college spirit instilled in the
children of the city whether they
later attend the University or not.
In case of wet weather children
will be allowed to 'occupy vacant
at in the stands, but at big games
and in dry weather they will be ex
pected to remain at the ends of the
field.

braska's first man, finishing in the
fast time of 27:18 over the five-mile
course.

Rutherford, Okla., first; McElyea,
Okla., second; Kimble, Okla., third;
Zimmerman, Nebr., fourth; Scott,
Okla., fifth; Cohen, Nebr., sixth;

NOVEMBER 24 IS DATE
OF ANNUAL OLYMPICS
Freshmen and Sophomores to
Mix on Day of Syracuse
Game.
The sixteenth annual freshman
sophomore Olympics will be held
this year on November 24, the day
of the Syracuse game. The contests
will probably be held on the field
of the new stadium.
The Olympics will be held . the
morning before the game. If the
freshmen win, they will be permitted
to burn their green caps on a huge
bonfire which will be started between
halves in the game in the afternoon.
The Olympics have come to be one
of the most important events of the
school year, especially to all of the
freshmen and sophomores. Both
classes spend weeks planning for the
battle.
This method of having the two
classes meet eliminates all other inter-class
combats. Many other
schools have systems very similar to
the one used at Nebraska, and such
contests are being started in many
other schools.

FIRST HOME GAME
Contest Is Hard Fought by
Both Teams; End Runs and
Passes Furnish Thrills for
Spectators.
NEBRASKANS ROLL UP
FINAL SCORE OF 24-0
Work of Locke, Dewitz and
Noble Feature of Battle;
Meyers Races Ninety-three
Yards for a Touchdown.
Ten thousand Cornhusker foot
ball fans saw the "Fighting Corn
huskers" take the long end of a 24
to 0 count from the Oklahoma Soon
ers, in the first home game of the
year, on the new memorial stadium
field Saturday afternoon.
Some real football thrills were
given the fans throughout the game
and at no part was the game draggy.
Every minute both teams were fight
ing to the limit trying to plant the
pigskin behind the bar.
The first quarter enaea with
neither team having a marker in
their count column. Although Ne
braska had the ball within striking
distance several times they didn't
have the old punch to push it over.
The first quarter was featured by
line hitting by Acting Captain Dave
Noble and Herb Dewitz. Both of
these Husker ball carriers found big
holes in the Sooner line. With the
ball on the Oklahoma 25 yard line
Herb attempted a place kick but it
fell short by inches.
In the second quarter Nebraska
had the ball in Oklahoma's territory
all the time. On being held for
downs on the 25 yard line Herb De
witz placed-kicked a perfect field
goal and the goose egg was erased
in the Husker column and a 3 in
serted. The half ended with Ne
braska in possession of the ball on
Oklahoma's 20 yard line.
The third quarter opened with a
zip and the Cornhuskers carried the
ball through the Oklahoma line for
a touchdown from the middle of
the field. Consistent line plunging
by Dave Noble and Herb Dewitz put
the ball within plunging distance of
a touchdown and Dave Noble de
livered the punch and planted it for
an additional six points. Herb De
witz kicked goal for another point.
Locke executed two beautiful end
runs that were good for twenty-three
yards. The third quarter ended with
Nebraska holding ten points in their
sack and Oklahoma could account for
nothing, although they had executed
four passes for forty-three yards.
The fourth quarter was the period
of thrills for both teams. By some
clever forward passing, Oklahoma

line and were threatening for a

Cornhusker Fpirit boiled over at
the rally held at the Armory Friday
evening at which yells were prac
ticed, a new song sung, and the
