TO DES MOINES
Will Take Thirty-Five First-Year
Men to See Saturday Clash
With Drake
Thirty-five freshmen will reap the
benefits of their seasons work this
week end when they will be taken
to Des Moines to see the Husker-
Bulldog clash. Thirty-two have been
selected and three more will be
chosen tomorrow. The list now in
cludes: Andrews, Avers, Betts, Beck,
Bushby, Culver, Drath, Durisch,
Gates, Crow, Holm, Hall, Holmes,
Johnston, Jackson, Krall, Lucas, Mc-
Mullen, McNicckle, Peaker, Phillips,
Richards, Schultz, Swartz, Skinner,
WostoupaL Wyatt, Zust, Huunt,
Reeves, Staats, HowelL
These men as well as the other
three deserve this trip because of the
good work this season, the officials
feel. The freshman line is fast and
heavy, the backfield is fast and has
a fine passing ability that has given
the Varsity some valuable assistance
in developing the defensive game
that has kept several teams from
crossing the Husker goal line.
Thirty freshmen reported for the
football practice Thursday afternoon
and a short time was spent in punt
ing and passing. A signal practice
followed the drill in fundamentals.
No hard scrimmage was on the pro
gram for the afternoon's work.

that team members have not had suf

kers Must Show Their Stuff
Winding up the week's practice
with a short workout this morning,
the Nebraska football team leaves
this afternoon at 1:19 Oo'clock on the
Rock Island railroad for Des Moines,
Iowa, where the Huskers will meet
the Drake Bulldogs Saturday in the
dedicatory game in the new Drake
stadium.
It will be on of the outstanding
games on the Nebraska schedule.
Drake, with but one defeat, and Neb
raska, with a like number of losses,
will match backfields and lines in
a game which is likely to be a gruel
ing battle for both teams.
More than one hundred and fifty
Nebraska rooters will follow the team
on the student special which leaves
Lincoln at midnight, and many fans
are expected at the Rock Island sta
tion, 20th and O streets, when the
team leaves today.
Huskers in Shape
Nebraska will be represented by a
team in mid-season form, and what
the Huskers do tomorrow will un
doubtedly be the criterion for the
judgment of Husker strength from
now on.
Coach Bearg sent his men through
the last stiff work of the week yes
terday afternoon. The teams spent
the time in running signals and light
scrimmage. For the second string
the program was rigorous and stiff,
calculated to bring out the talents
of certain members of that aggrega
tion who are likely to be called upon
in tomorrow's game.
The seconds were put against the ,
freshmen, the latter team using the
Drake plays, for a final drill on the
defensive. The regulars were run
ning signals in constant rehearsal of
their act to be presented in Des
Moines.
Dedicate Drake Stadium
The new Drake stadium, which is
to be officially dedicated with the
first kickoff tomorrow, is sold out. A
block- ol seats which were put on sale
j here were pretty near sold out.
It has been nine years since Ne
braska played Drake. The last game
gctween the two schools was in 1916,
when the Huskers came away with a
53-0 victory. AJ1 the imagination
in the world can hardly conceive of
a like result tomorrow.
Coach Ossie Solem will throw his
best lineup into the game, which is
expected to be "the hardest game in
the last decade," according to a news
writer of Des Moines. Practice at
Drake this week has been intense,
with hard scrimmage and chalk talks
being delivered almost daily.
The entire Varsity squad will be at
the game. The twenty-five who are
expected to play will leave this aftre
noon, while the rest of the men who

Scenes from the saga of "King

versity chorus, accompanied by the
orchestra, to an appreciative audi

ing. This was the third of a seriei
of musical convocations which are
being given each Thursday.
"It was a rather remakable per
formance," declared Mrs. Carrie B.
Raymond, who directed the presen
tation. "King Olaf" is essentially a
choral work, the theme of wh eh is
the conflict between the god o' war
and the god of peace. Because of
its vr.rying moods it is very difficult
to i resent. The chorus, however,
caug'nt the spirit of the oratorio and
sang it with real interest The
voice? in the ftinrn thla year am of
a beautiful quality. The ten-piece
orchestra gave the chorus admlrabli
support.
Soloists in the presentation were
Edward Ellingson, as King Olaf;
Herman Decker, as Ironbesrd; Joy
Schaefer, soprano; Albert Friedl, as
tenor; and Dwlght Men-lam, bsxs.
