Decorate Houiei
With the Nebraska-Kansas game
the main event of the day, hundreds
of alumni are returning to Lincoln
for the annual omecoming today.
Plans are made everywhere for their
entertainment during their short say,
and every effort is being made to
make them feel at home and to renew
old acquaintances.
The morning has been left for the
prads to look up their old friends and
see places cf former interest At
noon, the fraternity and sorority
houses are entertaining very inform
allly for the alumni, and at 2 o'clock
the football game will begin.
The game itself would attract a
crowd, but with the old graduates
here, there will be a very large at
tendance. The Corn Cobs,
men's pep organization, will put on
stunts between halves.
A Homecoming party, sponsored
by the all-University Party commit
tee is scheduled for 8:15 in the Ar
mory. The decorations are design
ed to pay respects to the old gradu
ates, and the University Men's Glee
Club will provide special entertain
ment. The fraternities and sororities are
following their usual custom and
decorating their houses in honor of
Homecoming, and the returning Al
umni. They will be judged Satur
day night, instead of Friday night as
was previously announced. The
house wihch wins the contest will re
ceive a silver loving cup, donated by
Fenton B. Fleming. The house win
ning the cup three years in succession
is allowed to keep it. Gamma Phi
Beta and Sigma Phi Epsilon were last
year's winners-
During the week tags have been
distributed to attach to automobiles.
On one side is "Homecoming, Wel
come, Kansas, Welcome," and on the
other side "Homecoming, Welcome,
Grads, Glad You're Back Again." In
addition to this advertising, the As
sociated Women's Students have sold
several thousand Homecoming stick
ers to remind graduates alt over the
state.
The Daily Nebraskan is issuing a
special Homecoming edition that will
be distributed Saturday as one of the
events of the day. The fraternity
and sorority houses will receive their
papers as usual, regular subscribers
may get theirs at the regular place,
and alumni may get copies at the
Stadium or by coming to the Daily
Nebraskan business office.
A great many of the fraternities
are giving special dances in honor of
their alumni. Those entertaining
are: '

Several Changes on
Campus May Be
Several changes on the campus
will be noted by the alumni as they
visit the campus today. Some of
these changes are due to the progress
and achievement that attends any
growing Institution. Others have
come about by the inevitable work
of time and age.
Chief among these is the remodel
ing work taking place on old Ne
braska Hall. Weakening walls of
the structure made it necessary to
remove the third story and roof, re
placing the former style cf roof for
one of temporary designs. This one

North and east of Bessey Hall can
be seen the steel framework of the
new Field House where the future
indoor sports of Nebraska will be
held along with the University gath

most distinct mark of the progress
taking place on the campus through
the present plan of building con

Morrill Call, the next step in the
present building plan. This build

ADVANTAGE OF WEIGHT
Both Teams on Edge for Game
Few Men to be Out
With Injuries
With the arrival of the Kansas
Jayhawkers scheduled for this morn
ing at seven o'clock, everything is in
on the two teams, according to the
weather forecasts for today. The
weather is expected to be fair and
cooler, and the sod in the Stadium
will probably be dry enough for a
good, fast game.
That a fast game will be played
here this afternoon is made apparent
Friday until they had barely enough
time to hop the rattlers for Lincoln,
and Coach Clark left no stone un
turned in the task of preparing his
men for Nebraska.
Looking on the other sic.
fence also, Coach E. E. Bearg has
not let the overconfidence germ work
into the minds of his proteges. While
Nebraska is a heavy favorite, the out
come of the Missouri game two weeks
ago is enough to stimulate any team
to action practice, practice, prac
tice. This was carried out all durinr
I the week.
