Nebraska's 1924 grid schedule
was completed with the signing of
a one-year contract for a game with
the Oregon Aggies on the home field
Thanksgiving day. The card of eight
games contains some of the strongest
competition in the United States and
will enable the critics of football to
measure . the power of Nebraska by
her records against squads from
three points of the compass.
Illinois, acknowledged as the
leader in the "Big Ten," will be
here for the opening game October
4. Nebraska went east for the open
inggame in the 1923 season and met
with a severe beating. The Illini
wre the masters in that game. "Red
Grange will perform in the stadium
and will have an opportunity
show a Missouri Valley team that he
is the best in the west.
Meet Sooner in Oklahoma,
Oklahoma draws the Huskers south
for the home-and-home contract. The
Sooners were given a decisive beat
ing at Nebraska this year, but Ben
lie Owen's team have always carried
i forward pass with them that has
caused more than a little worry for
ny team that has ever bucked it
Colgate, one of the great powers
in the east, will be here for home
coming. This is the only team that
was able to beat Syracuse in the
1923 season. Colgate has long been
considered representative of eastern
football and will give Nebraska
thance to show the other side of the
mountains a view of middle west
football.
t. U., for many years on the
Cornhusker schedule, will have the
Home game on the 1924 schedule

'announced. Students who purpose
to compete in the open try-out con
test in late January or early Febru
ary, are requested to leave their

Nebraska students will have two
weeks' vacation for Christmas next
year, according to Dean Engberg,
who is now making out the schedule
for the next school year. The two
holidays come on days which make
it almost impossible to have any
shorter vacation in 1924.
In two years, the same situation
as is now being confronted in regard
to the vacation will arise. The Stu
dent Council said last night that al
though it regards the matter closed
for the present, that it hoped that a
student appeal would be given more
consideration in two years.
Dean Engberg pointed out yester
day that school started at Nebraska
a week later than usual this year and
that this was really equivalent to a
week's vacation and that it saved
money for a great many students.
The entire affair is closed as far
as this year's vacation is concerned,
and students will all be expected to
attend their classes January 2, 1924.
