ON EVE OF GAME

"Beat Kansas" Is Slogan of
Pep Meeting Staged by Stu
dents on Drill Field Friday
Evening.
CHEERS, SPEECHES AND
MUSIC ARE ON PROGRAM
Kansas Graduate Tells of
"Good Old Days" on Grid
iron; Dawson Urges- Stu
dents to Be Courteous.
"Beating Kansas will be a bigger
task than was the building of the
stadium," stated Chick Hartley, Cap
tain of the 1922 grid machine, at the
"pep rally" Friday evening. The
practice of two new yells, speecho3
by Coach Fred Dawson, Captain
Verne Lewellen, and C. T. Smith '99,
Kansas, and the singing of the Corn
husker filled the rest of the program.
A' roaring bonfire blazed all during
the rally.
The foot which kicked six goals
against Nebraska in 1899 was intro
duced by Custin Tom Smith. This
is the largest number of rials ever
kicked in a Kappas-Nebraska game.
"Those were the good old days,"
stated Mr. Smith, in speaking of his
football career, "when we played
football and didn't play basketball.
Kansas could stand the grind but
could never learn the combination
of ping pong and tiddeldy winks and
basketball that is now called foot
ball."
Captain Verne Lewellen, called
from the crowd to give a talk, said:
Last year we played Kansas on the
day their stadium was dedicated. The
score didn't please them. Saturday
we play them on the occasion of the
dedication of our own stadium. The
score will not disappoint you."
The loyal students should stand
back of the team with all their loy
ally, but at the same time they should
be courteous to the visitors, was the
statement made by Head Coach Fred
Dawson.

Buying Peanuts From
W.A.A. Girls Helps
Pay Stadium Bill
Do you realize that every time you
buy candy, peanuts, apples, or any
thing sold by the W. A. A. girls you
are helping to pay for another bag
of cement or another plank in the
new stadium?
The Women's Athletic Association
is under contract for three years to
pay 50 per cent of the net proceeds
to the Memorial Association.
Every girl who carries the
"stadium builder' basket is doing as
much toward the completion of the
stadium as the workman who is do
ing the actual labor, and for the
girls there is no remuneration. The
spirit of these girls is the spirit that
will bring our stadium to early completion.
When you buy from the "Stadium
Builder" girls, you are deriving
double satisfaction from your money.
You too, will be a stadium builder.
Remember that the more you buy,
the more you are helping to complete
and Dav for Nebraska's Memorial
Stadium.

Emily Ross Returns
From Y.W.C.A. Meet
Emily Ross, regional editor of the
"Campus Forum" for the Woman's
Press, returned from the Rocky
Mountain regional couneil of the Y.
W. C. A. held at Manhattan, Kan.
Joint meetings were held with the
Y.M C.A. representatives.
Thirty men and women attended
the discussion of the student volun
teer movement, student volunteer
convention and the student friendship
fund on the first day.
"Who Owns the Valley?" is
Cry Now Heard Upon Campus
"Who owns the Valley?" is the cry
now heard in every corner of the
camous. The upperclassmen strike
the note, freshmen strike the air and
alumni join in on the chorus.
Today ample proof of an unbroken
bond of loyalty is being manifested
as the sons and daughters of Nebras
ka meet together for the dedication
of the Memorial Stadium, paying
homage to Nebraska and her soldier
dead.
From far cities, from villages and
farms the Old Grad comes to join
the jubilee. Reminiscenses of days
long gone come for a fleeting mo
ment as they gaze over the campus,
and perhaps just a slight heartache
comes with the memories. The Old
Grad is home.
Some can remember when Old U
hall was all of Nebraska's university.
Some have not visited the school
since the newer buudings were
added, and as they now look upon
the scene of their college days, mar
vel at the changes.
The old iron fence has gone; the
campus extends over many more
blocks than in the days they cut
across the grass.
But let us go with the Old Grad a
bit farther.
Since he has arrived he has heard
much of the new stadium, but pos
sibly hasn't seen it.
The old wooden bleachers are
gone, and in their stead is a massive
concrete "bowl", with a perfectly
constructed playing field. The mean
ing of his stadium pledge becomes
more clear, and the knowledge that
he has a share in the building of the
stadium, adds a personal touch to
the feeling of pride and possession.
Here, in the afternoon, old and
young will sit together to sing Ne
braska's songs and cheer for Ne
braska's team, and sometimes for her
opponents.
But the spirit wil be the same
That characteristic never leaves a
Cornhusker.
All student houses wil be decora
ted and the festival will close with a
mixer at the Armory when students
and alumni will sing together praises
o their Alma Mater.
With the stage all set, for one of
the biggest homecoming games in
the history of the school, and all the
actors except one in the best of con
dition, the fighting Cornhuskers are
ready to play their part. Their re
hearsals this week have been very
satisfactory and a good game is in
evidence.
Kansas is here stronger this year
than they have been for a long time.
They have letter men for every posi
tion on the team with the exception
to two backfield men, Collier and
G. Smith.
Head Coach Dawson has been drill
ing the Huskers hard this week in
new plays and formations and the
Jayhawkers are going to witness a
few surprises in today's conflict.
The varsity have been spilling the
freshman in every practise this week
during the daily scrimmages in which
the first-year men use the Kansas U.
plays.
Coach Potsy Clark and Kansas
mentor believes he has a combination
that will spell defeat for the Husk
ers when they meet in their annual
pigskin encounter this afternoon. He
hasn't an injury on the team and hi3
squad is in perfect condition, all of
which makes him stronger in his be
lief. With Captain Lewellen out of
the contest the Nebraska squad is
handicapped for lack of the regular
punter. Lewellen's punting has al
ways been a feature of every game.
Rufus Dewitz who has been working
in at Lew's place will no doubt be
directing the" line of fire in today's
contest. Gip Locke will take charge
of the booting end of the game.
Friday's workout consisted of a
snappy signal practice against the
freshman for both team "A" and
team "B." No heavy scrimmage
was entered into for various rea
sons. The Kansas team will go on the
field this morning for a short work
out, to loosen up and to better ac
quaint themselves with the playing
field.
