Grid Caps to Aid in Blocking Letter
"N" in Stadium at Football Garnet
A new idea for blocking out a let
ter "N" in the student section of the
east stadium has been perfected by
the Innocents, Senior Men's Honor
ary society.
The plan calls for every student in
the section which is to form the let
ter "N" to buy a grid cap. The grid
caps are in the form of a football
helmet and are made f felt There
"re two colors, those which are to be
worn to make op the "N" are cream,
while those that form the background
for the numeral are scarlet. Scarlet
and cream streamers are attached to
either side of the helmet and tlie caps
are suitable for either men or wom
en. The idea of a grid cap, as they
have been named, fs entirely a new
one. A Lincoln woman thought of
this scheme and has applied foT a
patent on it. Nothing of this ki & has
ever been tried by any university in
the country and we can feel happy

HEAD OF GLEE CLDB
Will Replace Parrin T. Wittee,
Who Will Be Dean of Music
Department at Wetleyan
Herman G. Decker, of the School
of Fine Arts, has been appointed new
director of the University of Nebras
ka Men's Glee Club, to succeed Par
vin T. Wittee, who has accepted the
position of dean of the music de
partment of Nebraska Wesleyan Uni
versity. Mr. Wittee had been direc
tor of the club since its reorganiza
tion five years ago.
In going over the plans for the
. j
coming year Mr. uecKer expresseu
the intention of again having a good
grade of music in the programs for
this season. Fifteen members of the
club last year have returned and
prospects for a Glee Club that will
rank with the best are very bright.
Director Decker intends to give more
of a professional appearance to the
organization than it has had in past
years.
Tryonts Soon
Tryouts for new men will be held
next week, according to Kenneth W.
Cook, business manager. A definite
date has not been set but it will
probably be next Wednesday. All the
men possible are urged to come out
at the tryouts. Further announce
ments concerning the tryouts will be
made this week.
The fifteen old members of the
club which have returned thi3 year
will make the nucleus about which
Mr. Decker hopes to build one of the
finest Glee Clubs in the history of
the school. Irving Changstrom, '27
Omaha, has been elected president of
the organization.
Under Fine Arts
According to Mr. Decker the Club
will be more under the auspices of
the University School of Fine Arts
than formerly. It is probable that
registration will be necessary for
membership in the organization.
However, registration, or the lack o
it, does not keep aspirants from try
ing out, and all candidates, accom
panists included, are urged to be
present at the tryouts next week.
Matt Attend M?etin

meeting which will be held Friday

10,000 Tons of Coal
Used by University
Ten thousand tons of coal will be
used this winter in heating the build
ings of the University. This includes
the Agricultural College as well a
those of the main campus. The coal is
bought in carload lots and costs on
an average of five dollars a ton here,
which means that it will cost $50,000
to heat all the buildings of the cam
pus this winter. Many of the build
ings were weather stripped this sum

heat as they have in previous years.

Hasker Football Field in Perfect
Condition; One of Country's Best
The football field is in the best
condition it has been for some timeJ
The sod covering the field is in ex
cellent shape due to the fall rains.
This sod is the finest in the country,
and has more care and time spent on
it than the average lawn around the
city. All summer long it is constantly
watered and cared far.
One of the amazing features of
this field is that it has a natural
drainage system. This is a big item,
and has saved the University thous
ands of dollars. Nearly every other
large excavated stadium in the coun
try has bad to spend from ten tc
twenty thousand dollars for their tile
and drainage system, beside the ex
pense of having the tile cleaned out
whenever it becomes clogged. Wben
tie Nebraska Stadium was built, the
PRICE 6 CENTS
INTRODUCED TO CROWD
m
The first game will be a hard one,
but Coach Bearg has found some
good material for this year's team
and will put eleven scrapping Corn
huskers on the field. The game is
scheduled for 2:30. The University
students will be-in the usual rooting
section and the new Varsity cheer
leaders will bring out "the old Ne
braska spirit."
The Drake squad arrives this mor
ning, and it is probable that the cap
tain will be introduced at the rally
tonight. The leader of the Bulldogs
is Gail Fry, quarterback, and Coach
Ossie Solem has several veterans
ho have proved their mettle with
the pigskin.
The rally tonight wi'l be the first
ever held in the Coliseum. The Uni
versity Band will be on hand to help
with the cheering and the songs."
Several new songs and yeils will be
learned to be used in the Drake
game. Head Varsity Cheer Leader
Nick Amos has announcements to
make for the student chot:ing sec
tion.
Speakers
Ed Weir, last years ciptaih and
All-American tackle will be one of
the speakers. Coacl.es 15 F. Oakes
and Charlie Black will be formally
presented to the students. Coach
Henry F. Schulte, nationally famous
track coach, will be on hand, as usual,
to exhort the rooters to greater ef
forts in the stands Coach Ernest E.
Bearg will give a talk o.n the pros
pects of the seas -n and what the
Huskers will do to the Bulldogs.
After that he will irtroJuce the Var
sity squad of '2i tj the Nebra.sk
students.
The students who are making ar
rangements for the rallies this year
believe that Nebraska has great
prospects in footbi-.'L Although sev
eral crack men hava been lost to the
team there are others developing that
indicate great nicmise.
FOOTBALL DOPE
Coach Bearg sent his men through
an easy workout yesterday after
noon, featuring punting, place-kick-ings
and defensive work against the
forward pass in dummy scrimmage.
With the exception of Vint Law
son's shoulder bruise, which may
keep him out of the Saturday game,
the men are in good condition and
Bearg is taking no chaiict.-- rf in
juries in late scrimmages.
The lineup of "A" ttam in yes
terday's practice will probably be
the starting squad Ssturdfy after
noon. It includes Joe Weir ar.d
Sprague at the ends, Captain Stiner
and Ashburn at tackles, Raish and
McMullen at guards, James at cen
ter, Brown at quarter, A. Mandery
and Dailey at the halves, and Howell
at fullback.
Other backfield men who will pro
bably get into the tussle are Pres
nell, Bronson, Holm and Beck, the
backfield combination on "B" team
yesterday. Roy Mandery and Sha
ner were playing the wing positions;
and Lucas, Randells, Whitmore,
Gates and Grow formed the rest of
the line.
Hopes for a dry field went soar
ing with the rise in temperature.
With the Bulldog line outweighing
the Huskers by more than five
pounds a roan, a soggy field would
put Bearg's gridsters at a decided
disadvantage.
field was excavated abcut twelve
feet; at about the 12-foot level they
struck a very porous sand of such a
nature that tile drainage was Un-
necessary. That our drainage is ef
ficient, is proven by the fact that
our track is one of the fastest in
the country, and is always in good
shape.
After the excavation was made, it
was necessary for the sand to be cov
ered with black, dirt, to provide for
sufficient nourishment for the grass.
Before the field was sodded, it was
all hand graded, a&d is considered
one of tha truest fields in Ame-rie.
