THE UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1924 PRICE 5 CENTS Dai "HELLO WEEK" BEGINS MONDAY Innocents Sponsor Annual Get Acquainted Affair Octo ber 13 to 18. WOULD FOLLOW SPIRIT OF SOUTHERN SCHOOLS Plans for "Hello Week," October 1) to 18 are being formulated by the Innocents in an attempt to gen erate s friendly spirit on the cam pas and to make the students better acquainted with one another. It has also been suggested that aome sort ox' distinctive dress for each of the four classes be adopted and it is probable that something along this line will be worked out in connection with "Hello Week." Those who have observed the at titude at other universities say that students here are much mora in clined to pass by their neighbors than elsewhere. Students in south ern schools especially are much more friendly. As an illustrlation it was pointed out by one of the Innocnets that members of the Oklahoma football team who were here last year thought it strange because students on the acmpus did not speak them. Placards and posters calling at tention to "Hello Week" wil be plac ed at various points about the cam pus. "If the undertaking is to be sue cessful it is necessary that every student cooperate," said one of the Innocents. "We hope that the stud ent body will enter into the spirit of the week and get acquainted with as many students as possible. The plan of distinctive dress for each of the classes was sugested so that students might know the mem bers of their own classes especial ly. A member of the Innocents sta ted that the society had not decid ed what action would be taken on the matter. TO HOLD W.A.A.

SOONERS OUT FOR REVENGE Oklahoma Will Seek to Re deem Herself in Game Against Nebraskans. PLANNING TO SPRING SURPRISE ON HUSKERS Oklahoma, still smarting from the defeat of the Oklahoma Teachers College, will enter the game tomor row against the Huskers prepared to redeem itself by springing a surprise on the Nebraskans. Defeated by the narrow margin of 2 to 0, the Sooners outyarded the Teachers and made ten first downs to the Teachers' seven. A blocked punt which was recov ered behind the goal line was suffi cient to beat the Sooners. Twice the Oklahomans had the ball within the shadow of the Teachers' goal-posts. only to fumble and lose it. Costly fumbles and numerous pen alties proved too much for the Soon ers to overcome. The team is said t have entered the game over-confident and to have been unable to overcome this handicap. Oklahoma has never defeated Ne braska, yet reports from the Sooner camp state that a better team will represent the Oil state this year than for several years past. The Cornhuskers, presenting the lightest team in years, will be great ly outweighed by the heavy Sooner eleven. The Oklahomans this year are said to be heavier than ever be fore. The Husker lines average 177 5-7; while the Sooners will present a vet eran forward wall averaging 185 5-7. A change in the backfield on the Sooner team is said to have added more snap to the offense. Carroll has been put in at quarter; Hendricks shifted from quarter to halfback; and Lamb remains at the other half back position. Captain Bristow, 190 pound fullback, has retained his posi tion. The weight in the Sooner line is well distributed. The lightest man is Price, 170-pound end, while four of the linesmen tie for heavyweight honors at 190 pounds each. The showing of the Huskers against Illinois, when they held th-s Big Ten champions to a 9 to 6 vie tory, of course adds to the Husker confidence, but upsets have occurred before and, in all probability, the) will again. EMPLOYMENT OFFICE HAS RADIO POSITION Students May Inquire of Other Openings at Y. M. C A. Bureau.
