Beins; Made to Secure Captain of Opposing Team to Speak at Affair Nebraska's last home rally, before the Thanksgiving contest with Notre Dame, will be held Friday evening at 7 o'clock In preparation for the Nebraska-Oklahoma game on Satur day. Dana are being made for an outside meeting if the weather per mit. Otherwise the rally will be held in the Armory. Bonfires, to light and warm the rally, will be a rart of the program. Because of the rain last Friday night the rally did not include the Home coming bonfire. Freshmen will be notified at a later date about bring ing boxes. Efforts are being made to secure the captain of the Oklahoma eleven as the principal speaker for the af fair. No definite plans have been made yet, but will be announced in the near future. "Nebraska is going to have irighty hard fight to whip Oklahoma, was the coment of Herbert Gish, di rector of athletics. "Their team is about the same size and weight as the Washington eleven." Last week's rally was rather dis appointing due to the continued rain, but plans are made far enough ahead for Friday that every loyal Cornhus- ker will know where the rally will be held. It is hoped that several thousand students will be there. HARRIERS STOPPED BY COLD WEATHER CroH Country Trial Which Were To be Held Tuesday Are Called Off The cross country trials which were to be held Tuesday for Varsity men who did not compete against Kansas have been called off as a re sult of the severe cold weather that wept across Nebraska prairies. The lineup which will be announced by Coach Schulte later in the week will probably include the six men who on against the Jayhawkers. Schulte had hoped tn run trials on Saturday but the bad condition of the course made it impractical. Be cause of the closeness to the race Saturday the time trials have been abandoned for the week. The real test of the speed of the Nebraska harriers will come Satur day when they neet the Oklahoma team. Tho two teams meet on ap parently even terms, each having won two decisive victories. However, Oklahoma shows the greatest amount of ability with three men of about qual speed and endurance. One of wese, Captain Rutherford, was tne rst man to cross the tape in the an nual Missouri Valley classic last fall. Keller, a new man on the Husker ejosa-country team this fall, is be ting to find himself.

TWO TIE FOR VALLEY LEAD Nearly Every Team Meets Conference Opponent This Week TWO BASES FOR RATING Missouri and Iowa State this week are tied for the leadership in the Mis souri Valley conference, neither yet having met defeat. However, by the end of this week one of these two teams will topple from the throne, for next Saturday at Columbia they clash. On a percentage basis the standing of the teams in the Missouri Valley this week are: Games Won Lost Tied Pet 1.000 1.000 .750 .500 .500 .500 .250 .000 .000 .000 table Missouri 0 0 1 2 1 1 3 2 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 Iowa State Drake Kas. Ags. Nebraska Oklahoma Kansas Wash. Ok. A. & M. Grinnell Changes in the percentage are inevitable this week, for all the schools swing into action against the Valley opponents, except the Kansas Aggies which enjoys a holiday and Washington University of St. Louis which will not meet a Valley foe. Beside the Missouri-Iowa State contest at Columbia, other classics on the Saturday program include the Drake-Kansas clash at Lawrence, a game which will interest Husker fol lowers for Nebraska must meet the Drake team November 7 at Des Moines: the Nebraska-Oklahoma game at Lincoln, when the Cornhusk- ers will seek revenge for the 194 defeat handed them by the Sooners, and the Grinnell-Oklahoma Aggies contest at Stillwater, Okla., which will boost one of the two teams out of the cellar position. Use Dickinson System There is, however another method of determining the Valley leaders besides the percentage table. Frank Dickinson, graduate of the Uni versity of Illinois, has devised the Dickinson Football Rating System, which gives points for victories and defeats as follows: First division teams are those who have a percentage rating above 500. Misouri, Iowa State and Drake are the only Misouri Valley teams in the first division, and the other elevens being in the second division. Mr. Dickinson proceeds to give points as follows: If a first division team defeats a first division team, winner gets thir ty points and loser fifteen points. If a first division team ties a iirsi division team, each team gets iwen- ty-two and one-half points. If a first division team loses w a second division team, winner gets thirty points and loser ten points . If a second division team aeieais second division team, winner gets twenty poin's, and loser en points. If a first division team ties a sec ond division team, first dhision team gets fifteen points, second division team geia twenty puiua. If a second division team defeats a a second division team, winner gets twenty poin s, loser ten points. If a second division team ties a second division team, each team gets fifteen points. The total points are then divided by the number of games played to determire the ranking of the teams. UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA, LINCOLN. NEBRASKA, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1925.

HAWKS SEE GROWN IN THE DISTANCE Iowa Is Tied with Michigan for Con ference Championship of the Big Ten IOWA CITY, la., Oct. 27. Two thousand students were at the station to meet the undefeated University of Iowa football team when it arrived Sunday afternoon, back from the lat test conquest at Ohio. The Hawks have disposed of Illinois and Ohio, two of the strongest teams on their schedule, and Wisconsin and Minne sota remain to be played. The Hawkeyes are very definitely title-contenders. Iowa is now tied with Michigan for the conference championship and should win the twd remaining games. Michigan appears to have just as good a chance to win as Iowa has to go through the season undefeated. Nick Kutsch, Iowa's Flying Dutch man, was on the sidelines throughout most of the Ohio game, and this fact is significant The team is now confident that it can win games with out Nick. And Nick will realize that Iowa can play winnmg football even if he is on the bench. The practice tonight consisted largely of scraping Ohio mud from the shoe cleats. Coach Ingwerson had his men jog around to loosen up damaged muscles, and the freshmen provided a demonstration of Wabash plays. Wabash will be handled with ease if the Hawks are of true cham pionship caliber, but Coach Ingwer son believes in thorough preparation for every game. Prof. Pound Speaks at Cotner Miss Louise Pound, of the depart ment of English, spoke on "West ern Traditional Songs" at Cotner College Wednesday morning. The songs were illustrated at the piano by Lenore Van Kirk, who is director of music at Cotner. Makes Changes in Standings Under this system the Valley standings would be: Point?

Cridsters Battle in Pajamas An innovation was introduced be tween halves of the Geneva and Al legheny football game when two football teams composed of picked men from the freshmen class battled to a scoreless tie. The players were clad in pajamas of various colors. It had been planned to use a pumpkin for a ball, but in practice prelimi nary to the game the "ball" was shat tered in an unlucky fumble. The regulation football was then used. Prisoner Completes Course A prisoner at the Waupun State penitentiary has completed nine cor respondence courses, chiefly in math ematics and electricity, through the University of Wisconsin Extension division. World's Most Exclusive School Blackballed 20,000 Applicants Over at Astoria, Long Island, is the most exclusive school in the vorld, according to the New York orld. It is easier for a $50,000 a ear man to go through the eye of a tewing machine needle than it is for he average person to join the stu dont body of that ultra-particular nsiitution. In selecting its sixteen pupils the school black-balled over sver 20,000 applicants a record in exclusiveness that wejuld make any high-class boarding school lov. like the Florence Crittenton horie. This barb-wire institution is the Paramount picture school, establish ed two months ago in the big white studio building that flows across the Astoria landscape. It is here that eight girls and eight young men are charting their way toward the stars in a five months' course strenuous enough to bring tears to the eyes of a stevedore. And when at last the five months are up do the little children go out in the snow with shawls over their heads or are they taken inside the busines office and given some of the shiniest ornaments on the Paramount Christmas tree? That alas, is what none of them Knows at the present tiirru. The Famous Flayers-Lasky organization guarantees them no con tracts. It is broadly hinted ttat a First Snow Storm To Lincoln Much DRAKE EXPECTS MANY FOR GAME Hundreds of Reservations Be ing Made Daily for Con test with Huskers WILL DEDICATE STADIUM DES MOINES, la., Oct 27. With hundreds of reseivations being made daily, one of the greatest foot ball crowds in the history of Iowa will witness the NeWraska-Drakc bat tle in the new Drake stadium here on November 7. The fact that Nebraska ranks as one of the great gridiron machines in the United States, and includes sev eral of the outstanding stars of na tional prominence Iis3 whetted the unpetites of the faas for this forth coming struggle, creating more inter est in this contest th-.i. has ever been manifested in a umilar struggle in Des Moines. Weir Fulfills Expectations Among the brightest stars of the Nebraska team is Captain Ed Weir, who was a practically unanimous choice for all-American tackle last year. Coach Rockne, of Notre Dame has declared Weir to be one of the greatest football players of all time. The Nebraska captain has lived up to his reputation when, almost single handed, he stopped the mighty "Red" Grange in the battle in which the Comhuskers defeated Illinois 14 to 0 early this season. "Choppy" Rhodes, Nebraska full back, also ranks as one of the out standing football warriors in the west today, while Hutchison, Cornhusker center, has few equals among the star ball-passers in the country. In halfback Roland Locke, Neb raska has the fastest man wearing the football togs anywhere in America loday. Locke has a record of 9 8-10 seconds in the hundred yard dash and his speed on the gridiron is marvelous. when it is remembered that football clothing, shoes and other equipment are much more heavy than the outfits, worn by track athletes. Plan Dedication Program Inacldition to the Nebraska-Drake battle, an elaborate program mark ing the dedication of the new Bulldog stadium will furn'sh interest for the crowd on the afternoon of Nov. 7. Students, alumni and distinguished visitors will have a part on the pro gram. Mail order reservations for seats are now being received at the Drake tscket office, in care of Drake Uni versity, Des Moines, Iowa. Orders are filled in the order of receipt. All of the 18,000 seats in the new stadium will be reserved for the Nebraska Drake encounter, and a flat admis sion charge of $2.50 will prevail.

Pupils Selected From AH Ranks The sixteen who survived the general massacre come from many diferent promenades of life. There is the little blonde school teacher from Lawrence, Mass., a girl who spine is stiffened with New England tradition and who discovers to her Merton-like consternation that she is best fitted to be a comedienne. There is an Atlanta debutante of the full blown rose variety, and a small, wist ful person who was taken from be hind the counter of a Boston depart ment store. There is a former New York chorus girl who caries an un usual cargo of dimples, and a well poised, self -assured advertisers' mo del who flames into the spectacular beauty of a trumpet flower.

' of Season Comes Earlier than Usual Comes Month Earlier Than That of Last Year Developed Suddenly Orer Colorado, the Low Pressure Area Lincoln and vicinity, and the entire state of Nebraska, was visited by a snow storm that reached almost bliz zard proportions. Tucsdny morning. The precipitation in Lincoln was al most .015 of rain and snow, with .7 of an inch of snow remaining upon the ground. Government weather inureau rcaaings rccoraca inirty-nine degrees above zero at 7 o'clock yes terday morning, and t twenty-eight degrees above at 4 o'clock in the af ternoon. This is the first snow of the season in Lincoln and came somewhat earlier than is usual. The first snow of any importance last year came on November 27. The snow fall in Oct ober is usually generally light and yesterday's snow was the heaviest since October 19, 1916, when three inches of snow fell. According to Thomas A. Blair, meterologist of the government weather bureau at the University of Nebraska, the storm developed sud denly over Colorado, the low pres sure area. At the same time an area of cold weather and northerly winds swept over Canada and Montana. It is on the border of two such areas that snows and blizzards are found. The storm was general throughout the upper Missouri Valley, and ex tended from Helena, Montana, where a temperature of two degrees above was registered, to Sioux City, Iowa. The weather forecast for today if mostly fair, with strong norther winds this afternoon and evening. HUSKERS DRILL UNDER STADIUM Varsity Gets in Good Offen sive and Defensive Drill Despite Weather FEW INJURIES IN SQUAD Snow and rain caused Coach E. E. Bearg to move his Nebraska foot ball squad underneath the stand of the stadium yesterday afternoon. In spite of the weather, a good of fensive drill was gone through, with a little practice on the defense. Snow or rain, the squad keeps on practicing. The game with Oklahoma Satur day is foremost in the minds of Coach Bearg and the players. The realization that Oklahoma has an imposing aggregation has come with the report of Coach Owen Frank, Stephens Is Still Out Bob Stephens, it was learned yes terday, will undoubtedly be out of "Jug" Brown and Glen Presnell, to say nothing of "Choppy" Rhodes, have some ptrnng ability, when it comes to absolutely accurate aerial work, Stephens is the boy. Lonnie Stiner, who has been kept out of practice because of an injured hand, shows some possibility of get ting into the Oklahoma game at tac kle. If he is not there, probably Scholz will be shifted to tackle and Pospiail will be put in the guard posi tion left vacant by him. Walter Scholz made his letter last year as a tackle, and showed marked proficiency at either position. The Huskers have a good part of a week left, and barring further in juries they should be in good shape by Saturday.
