HDSKERS MEET COLGATE IN
INTERSECTIONAL GRID CLASH
Nebraska, Laser of Two Games, Will Battle Colgate, Winner

The Maroon men, from Hamilton,
W Y.. arrived in Lincoln Friday. Due
to a possibility of contusion, tne oi
will discard its color, at
the Huskers' scarlet jerseys are near
ly the same shade,
roach Harlow of Syracuse,
i-.mincr that the tame was to be the
Home-coming event for the Huskers,
agreed to forget the usual privilege
of the visiting team to wear its own
color, and will dress his men in blue.
The Maroon or Blue men
worked out for a short time on Stadi-
fioU FVIHav afternoon. The
practice was confined to kicking,
passing and a little signal drill. The
team arrived in Lincoln at 10:15 Fri
day morning.
Must Stop Tryon.
In spite of the victories of the Col
loam, and the two defeats re
ceived by the Huskers, Nebraska fans
are hopeful for a victory. The HusK
ers have shown more snap and ser
iousness in practice this week than
ever before. This hard work is count
ed upon to have its effect today.
The main object of the Huskers
will be to stop the runs of Eddie Try
on, Colgate star halfback. Last year
Tryon's brilliance beat Syracuse,
otherwise undefeated during the sea
son and victors over Nebraska, 7 to 0.
The same lineup will probably
start for the Cornhuskers as started
in the Oklahoma game. It is possi
ble that a change may be made at
quarterback. Kamm has been forcing
Bloodgood to the limit to hold down
the quarterback position, with Bron
son close behind. Kamm is heavier
than Bloodgood and if he starts the
average weight of the Nebraska team
will be increased somewhat.
Prepare for Alumni.
Hundreds of Nebraska grads are
expected to be in the stands for tho
game. Special preparations have
been made to entertain the alumni
during their visit, including many
fraternity and sorority parties and
two all-University parties.
If the weights given out by the
Colgate officials for the men who
will start the game are correct, the
Huskers will have weight advantage
of about three pounds per man.
There is some doubt as to wheth
er the Colgate weights are generous
enough, for sport writers who have
seen the Colgate team in action have
indicated that the team hardly seems
as light as recorded.
Here are the starting lineups:
Nebraska Colgate
Robertson, 177 re R. Crowther, 156
Molzen, 190
rt Beuthal, 179

Umpire J. A. Evans, Williams.
F'cld Judge W. G. Crowcll,
Swarthmors.
Head Linesman A. G. Reld,
Michigan.
The Colgate dopesters have been
spreading bear stories regarding the
team. Injuries, it is said to Hel
w;g and Seybolt, who are listsd as
"backfield stars," will keep them out
of the game.
Sales of tickets for the game have
been heavy. The attendance will
probably be slightly more than that
at the Illinois game, John K. Selleck,
business agent for student activities,
said. The number of old grads re
turning ia expected to swell the at
tendance considerably.
Delta Omicron Gives
Tea for New Women
Theta chapter of Delta Omicron
gave a tea from 3 to 6 o'clock Fri
day at Ellen Smith Hall, in honor of
new women majoring in music. About
seventy-five attended. Among the
visiting alumnae was Mrs. Lawrence,
editor of the Wheel, national maga
zine of Delta Omicron.
The program consisted of a dance
by Wilms Lyon, accompanied by
Rosana Williams, group of songs
by Mrs. H. J. Lehnhoff, accompanied
by Mrs. E. H. Polley; a piano solo by
Miaa Chenoweth; and a group of
songs by Miss Lenor Burkett, ac
companied by Miss Chenoweth.
THEIR SCARLET JERSEYS
Asks Rooters' Section
To Wear White Shirts
' All members of the rooters' sec
tion for the Colgate game this af
ternoon should wear white shirts,
black ties, and no coats if the
weather permits. It is the desire
of those, in charge to give the sec
tion a solid appearance and it is
thought that such uniform dress
will have that effect.
"Students who signed up for
the section were given seats on the
60-yard line and this is one of the
obligations which they are expect
ed to carry out in return," stat
ed Monroe "Duke" Gleason, head
cheerleader, who is in charge of
the section.

OYER 2000 IN
ANNUAL PARADE
Students With Torch-Lights
March From Campus to
Lincoln Hotel.
If spirit counts, Colgate was prob
ably defeated last night. Over 2,000
of the "fightingest" Cornhuskers that
ever gathered together took part in
the rally north of the Administration
Building and marched in the torch
light parade, down O Street to the
Lincoln Hotel, where they gave the
Colgate team a welcome that they
will remember for years to come.
Speeches by Captain Weir, Wen
dell Berge, president of the Inno
cents, Coach "Indian" Schulte and
McCormick, a Colgate Student, to
gether with cheers, songs, and a try
at the "Col-l-l-gate" yell were on the
program at the fally.
Then four abreast the students car
rying red torches, and led by the
band, marched down to the hotel,
singing, yelling and chanting "Beat
Colgate."
"We sincerely thank you for this
reception which is the best we have
ever seen," said Captain S. E. Crow
ther in speaking for the Colgate
team. "We came out here to give
Nebraska a "fight and we are going
to fight tomorrow."
Then Crowther led his team-mates
in a cheer for Nebraska and the
crowd, which packed Ninth Street
from O to P, responded with the Col
gate yell.
"We want Tyron, we want Tyron,"
was the cry and the Ail-American
halfback, pride of the East, stepped
to the platform. He also thanked
the crowd for the reception. "We
hope that we can entertain you as
well tomorrow afternoon," he con
cluded.
Each member of the Colgate elev
en was boosted to the platform and
introduced. "You've got the stuff
out here," shouted DeGrossa, Col
gate center, when he was called on.
Red torches forming a huge "N"
burned in the Postoffice square
across from the Lincoln.
"We want Colgate to feel that they
were beaten by the best bunch of
sports in the country," declared Lieu
tenant Max G. Oliver, who spoke at
the rally after "Duke" Gleason and
the band had livened things up witn
a few yells and songs.
"It takes brawn, brains and inspir
ation to win a football game," con-
continued on Page Two.)

It will be the duty of the assist

office of the concession manager,
