The Ag Club held its first meeting of the year in Dairy Industry Hall on the Ag campus last night, vice- president Lawrence Jones, presiding in the absence of President Bare. Talks by Prof. Chauncey Smith, Prof. Donald B: Whelan and Coach Ruf us Dewitz made up the main part of the program. Sixteen freshmen ntroduced themselves and located their home town on an outline map on the blackboard. Amos K. Gramlich, editor of The Comhusktr Countryman announced vacancies on the staff and called for candidates. A combined campaign for Ag Club, membership and Corn husker Countryman subscriptions was started. Prof. Smith in his talk, made an appeal to Ag college men to get into activities, especially some branch of athletics, for their own personal good. He emphasized the fact that life in school was much the same as it would be out of school and that it is best for a student to give some thing to the University. Prof. Whelan spoke about tennis and asked every one who was inter ested to use the courts that the ath letic department have provided. 'Rufe" Dewitz explained the foot ball situation and promised some competition for the team. It had been planned to arrange games with the state conference teams this fall but their schedules are arranged. An initiation was arranged for in the near future. They decided to have a "mixer" if a suitable place could be found in which to hold it. Increase Wisconsin Student Loan Fund A recent addition of $175 was made by the women's Self Govern ment association board to the student loan fund which it maintains at the University of Wisconsin. This fund now totals $1,000 and is available for any woman who is properly recommended. No interest is charged for the first year. , The fund was originated about eight years ago. Paddlings and tubbings are among the forms of punishment for Univer sity of California freshmen who fail to wear their green caps or -who smoke cigarettes on the campus. TO SELL GREEN GAPS THURSDAY Tickets to Go on Sale at Far quhar's Following the Convocation. MONDAY IS LAST DAY Tickets for freshmen green caps will go on snle immediately following freshman convocation Thursday morning. Those tickets, which will cost 75 cents, will be sold and en dorsed at Farquhar's clothing store and will be exchanged there for the green caps. Freshmen are urged to buy their cnps as soon as possible. The supply of caps will be sufficient to meet the demand. The Iron Sphinx, sophomore men's organization will supervise and check up on the wearing of these caps by the freshmen. All freshmen must be wearing caps by Monday. The length of time that the freshmen will be required to wear the green caps has not been decided upon. In former years the caps were worn until the Olympic contest between the fresh men and the sophomores. Then if the freshmen win the Olympics, they were allowed to burn their green caps, but if they lose they must wear them until the snow flies. ! The plans adopted for selling the green caps will vary a little for those of last year. In former years cer tain organizations sold tickets on the campus for the caps. These tickets were then taken to some downtown store where they were exchanged for the green caps. The selling of any tickets on the campus has been abol ished this year and all transactions necessary will be completed in one trip to Farquhar's clothing store. The tradition of the green caps is one of the oldest in the University, dating back so far that no one knows just when it was started. The tradi tion arose from the need of some common bond of friendship between freshmen. The green cap. is rot to be worn with the idea that it is a hazing stunt or a sign of humility. It is to show that those wearing it are entering the University of Nebraska, and it has proven to be one of the best means of promoting friendship, loyalty to class and loyalty to the University. Every freshman should be proud to wear h'.s green cap. Tradition has awarded the Iron Sphinx, sophomore men's organiza tion, to supervise the wearing of the caps in former years. Due to the hearty co-operation of the freshmen they have never had much difficulty in enforcing the rule and they anti cipate but little trouble this year.

STUDENTS TRYOUT FOR ORGANIZATIONS Director Quick of Band and Or chestra Is Much Pleased With New Material. Tryouts for both the University band and orchestra were held last week, and Director William T. Quick is very much pleased with the abun dant new material that is reporting for practices in these two organiza tions. The loss of so many of the old members of the band necessitated the enlistment of approximately twenty-five freshmen. The roster of the band will include seventy mem bers. The first formal practice of the University orchestra was held Mon day afternoon under the supervision of Mr. Quick, who is expecting re markable work from the fifty mem bers. It is the director's intention to repeat last year's program and present the orchestra in connection with the University chorus.

FRESHMEN PREPARE FOR VARSITY GAIJB First-Year Men Drill on Illinois Plays in Preparation for Saturday's Clash. About sixty freshmen are report ing daily to Coach Newman and his assistants. Scrimmage was inaugur? ated Saturday and will be carried out the remainder of the week in preparation for the coming clash with the Varsity next Saturday. Illi nois plays are being perfected which includes a great deal of aerial work and off tackle smashes. As yet no regular first team has been picked and it is probable that at least two different teams will be sent against the Varsity. The freshmen are rapidly develop ing a formidable team which is likely to give the Huskers some trouble. Several men are showing up m goou shape and should give some Varsity man a fight for his place next fall. The backfield seems to have sev eral good men including Wally Mar row from Omaha Central, who is fast, shifty, and has the natural knack of ground-gaining. Beck a fullback has a bullet-like plunge and backs the line on the defense in good style. McNickol of Kearney is rrr. n spil and aggressive ness. Howell of Omaha Central is a speedy back who will no doubt show up well against the Varsity, j In the lin Ashburne :f Tilden looks like a prospective end, being fairly heavy and fast and having a knack of boxing in all plays sent his way. Durisch of Lincoln and Lucas from Omaha Tech are working well at tackles. Holmes of Grand Island and Reeves of Omaha South are fighting it out for the center posi tion. Both men are well qnalified for the position and at present it is a toss-up for the position. With the Illinois plays being rapidly perfected the first-year men should give the Varsity a valuable practice next Sat urday.

Although the University of Ne braska contingent at the Fort Snell ing summer camp fell short of win ning the general efficiency cup, high places were won by individuals in the athletic competitions, and credit able showing was made in marksman ship, according to facts gleaned by Colonel Jewett fromhe Blue Torch, the camp year book.

Bcarg is stress ing the hurling end of the pastime, and he tried Beveral seta of passers and receivers. Four elevens were at work in this department. The regular daily scrimmage yes terday was devoted to punting and running down the kicks. Choppy Rhodes was doing the footwork for the regulars, and Mandery for the seconds. It is too early in the season to think of predicting who will be in the lineup in the opening game at Illinois, October 3. There are, how ever, some new men who have con sistently showed that they are out for a regular position on the Var sity. Choppy Rhodes seems to have hit his stride already. In Monday's practice the Ansley boy was hitting the line hard for good gains. Locke hasn't showed anything startling. Bob Stephens is probably the most spectacular of the new men on the team. Stephens at quarterback has been passing well, and in general holding down the signal-calling job well. Sprague, another new man from the 1924 freshman team, is an end and shows great promise. He is working all of the time. Jug Brown has been playing first string back field since practice began, and shows up particularly well on offense. Raish, Randells, and Stiner are the youngsters on the line who have been working with the regulars. No special plays have been taken up as yet. The Illinois game, while it may seem perilously near, is more than a week off, and the rough edges and corners must be rounded off the team before any special work is taken up. Practices indicate, however, that Coach Bearg believes in using the forward pass a great deal. His work outs along this line have been long and many. i The Huskers will have advantages this year over last in the Illinois game. Not only is the 1925 squad a little bit heavier and more experi enced than that of 1924, but Coach Bearg is an Illinois man. He knows Red Grange, for one, and he knows Bub Zuppke for another. Those '8eem to be two of the main tninK Illinois opponents will have to com bat. Will Test Spirit of Wisconsin Freshmen The coming year will test the class spirit of the freshmen class at the University of Wisconsin in the mat ter of wearing the green cap. Since the student court held three years ago that wearing the caps is not compulsory, student leaders have been observing the reaction of the freshmen. During the first two years of the optional rule the fresh men donned their green headgear almost unanimously, but last year a tendency to ignore the caps was noted. Trouble frequently arose between sophomores and freshmen in the years when the sophomores enforced the green cap custom, and student leaders hope to establish a new cus tom which will eliminate the war fare. Expect Record Number I at Engineering Smoker J The Nebraska Engineering society is starting the year off with a smoker in the Mechanical Engineering build ing tonight. The evening's enter tainment will include an address ty Dr. Condra, of the geology depart ment and another prominent man, whose name has not yet been dis closed. The purpose of the affair is to bring the engineers' of the school into closer cooperation, according to George Wolf, in charge of the affair. The College of Engineering lost so few men through graduation, sid the newly registered students are so numerous, that a record crov, J is r petted.
