PLAN WELCOME
OF GRID SQUAD
Nebraska Alumni on West Coast
Engage Special Section.
Will Meet Train.
University of Nebraska alumni on
the west coast are planning to give
the Nebraska Cornhuskers who make
the trip to Seattle for the Thanksgiv
ing Day tilt with the Washington
Huskies a rousing welcome. This fact
was disclosed in a letter received to
day by Harold F. Holtz, secretary of
the Nebraska Alumni Association,
from Charles E. Allen, president of
the Seattle University of Nebraska
club.
A special section has been reserved
for Nebraska alumni for the Husker
Husky game, and the Seattle Club al
ready is making plans to have a dele
gation worthy of their alma mater in
the stands when the opening whistle
blows.
Circular Letter Distributed
In a circular letter sent to all
alumni in Seattle r.nd vicinity, Mr.
Allen said, in part:
"The University of Washington
ticket office has arranged that we old
grads may sit together, and a block
of excellent seats near the center of
the field has been reserved for us.
"We are proud of the past per
formances of the University of Ne
braska football team. We believe
they can beat the University of
Washington this time. There are
many old grads in the northwest who
have expressed their desire to again
see our team in action, and particul
arly against such a worthy opponent
as the University of Washington.
"It is believed that no greater stim
ulus can be given our team than by
having a large and noisy delegation
of the alumni at the train upon its
arrival. It is too early as yet to have
definite information upon this sub
ject, and of course our plans are sub
ject to the approval of the Nebraska
coach. If such plans prove feasible,
further information concerning them
will be given.
"Yours for another Cornhusker
victory.
CHAS. E. ALLEN."
State Pharmacy Tests
Given November 3 to 6
The semi-annual State Pharmacy
examinations will be held in Phar
macy Hall on November 3 to 6. The
tests were formerly given in Novem

at June could take the examinations

was always the largest. The dates
have recently been changed to No
vpmher and April. The November
section is expected to be the largest
hereafter. The June examination
was generally given to seventy or
seventy-five and the November quiz
to about thirty-five or forty.

ory and took them to Belmont for
a weiner roast. The picnic is over
early enough not to interfere with

AG STUDENTS WILL
EXHIBIT LIVESTOCK
Baby International Show to be Held
Oct. 23; To Raise Funds to
Send Team on Trip
The annual Baby International
Livestock exhibition will be held at
the College of Agriculture on Octo
ber 23. This is an entirely student af
fair and is put on to raise funds for
sending the Live stock judging team
to the International Livestock Expo
sition at Chicago and to the Royal
American Livestock Show held at
Kansas City.
Fiftv freshmen men have signed to
show livestock at the show. The show
stock consists of animals that will be
shown at the International Livestock
Exposition and will no doubt be
shown at the Royal American Live
stock Show. These are the two larg
est shows in the United States. Some
of these cattle were prize winners at
the Nebraska State Fair this fall, and
are in excellent condition.
A class of Holstein heifers will also
be exhibited at the show.
Judge Not Yet Named
A competent livestock judge has
been secured for the judging of the
animals. The judge's name has not
been made known yet, but the ru
mors are to the effect that he is from
the Kansas State Agricultural Col
lege of Manhattan.
Mr. Russell Kendall, a competent
livestock man, has been appointed as
manasrer of the show. Mr. Clay West-
cott has charge of the cattle entries
and reports three classes in cattle so
far. Lowell (Boots) Waldo has been
appointed manager of the hog sec
tion and has one class ready so far
and expects to have two classes more.
Watson Foster, from Imperial, Ke-
hmslta. has charge of the showing of
the horses. Ross Miller has charge
of the sheep. The last two classes
each have one class to date but will
have two or more by the time that
the show Is held. Thome Johnson and
Frank Reece have charge of the en
tertainment and publicity of the
show.
ThA iudrinz will be based on the
way that the stock is fitted and
shown, and not on the animal itseii.
The show will help the students to
learn how to exhibit stock.

CHOOSE OFFICERS
FOR AG ENGINEERS
Clyde Davis Selected as President
At Meeting Held Last Week;
Plan Several Trips
Clyde Davis was elected president
of the Nebraska chapter of the Amer
ican Society of Agricultural Engin
eers at its regular monthly meeting
last week at the College of Agricul
ture. Other officers elected were
Mort Fredrickson, secretary, and
Russel Nettleton, reporter. The So
ciety made plans for several group
trips to various manufacturing com
panies and other places of interest
to the members.
Mr. Bancroft, who has charge of
the Government Solar Station in the
Experiment Station building, gave
the young Engineers some valuable
information concerning his work in
a short talk after the meeting. While
giving a thorough explanation of
some of the apparatus with which he
works he showed them an instrument
he uses to ascertain the heat of the
sun's rays at each hour of the day.
This instrument is very rare, there
being but one other such instrument
in the world. Mr. Bancroft has a re
cord of the heat of the sun's rays
for the past twelve years.
Football Writes the Checks for
Other Sports Less Well Patronized
A namnhlet "The Why of Foot
ball," was published in the football
Droerams for the Missouri game. It
stated that "in an effort to show the
public just where the receipts from
football sro. this bulletin is published.
It is hoped that the information con
tained in this pamphlet will help to
clear no many misunderstandings
that have arisen as regards the poli
cies of the athletic department, and
also as regards the way the money
received from football is spent."
In earlv davs. football was not a
nooular SDort at Nebraska. Athletics
in which individuals could participate
were enjoyed the most. Howeer,
football took hold and now outrivals
all othflr sports. The University at
tempted to start wide interest In
nbvsical exercise, adopting the slogan
of "every student an athlete." This
plan has worked out very well and
the bulletin says. "Because fans gen
erally do not maintain nearly the in

they do in football, the gridiron gam

"DREAM PIRATE"
Three-act Musical Comedy by
Herbert Yenne Wins
$100 Prize
TRYOUTS ARE OCTOBER 18
Play To Be Given Here the
Week Before Christ
mas Recess
"The L.-eam Pirate," a three-net
musical comedy hy Herbert Yenne,
'24, now an instructor in the School
of Fine Arts, has been selected by
the Kosmct Klub as the $100 prize
play and will be presented by the
Klub in December. The selection
was made from five plays entered.
Tryouts for the parts in the show
will be held next Monday evening at
7 o'clock in Faculty Hall, The
Temple.
The Klub this year will take its
play on the road, playing Nebraska
City, Beatrice, Hastings, Grand
Island, Columbus, Norfolk, Sioux
City and Omaha. A cast of about
fifty will be taken, all expenses being
borne by the Klub.
"The Dream Pirate" presents the
experiences of a young man with an
inferiority complex and his romance.
A football player, Big Pete, is the
villain, but finally loses the girl to
the hero, who throws off his timid
ity as the result of a dream.'
Music Exceptionally Good
Members of the Klub are enthusi
astic about the music, which they
declare is the best that has ever
been presented for a Kosmet Klub
show. The dialogue is also well
worked out, and, with the aid of a
blackface comedian, should go over
well.
The play this year will be pre
sented with an all-man cast, similar
to the plays put on by the Triangle
Club of Princeton, Black Friars at
Chicago, Scarlet Mask at Pennsyl
vania, and Harefoot at Wisconsin.
Herbert Yenne will direct the play.
His services were obtained after con
ferences with members of the Klub.
Mr. Yenne has had several years
experience in this line and should
prove of great value in the direc
tion. The Musical Numbers
Among the more important songs
in the play are "I Have a Dream,"
the theme song, "Big Boy Pete,"
"Threatenin' Blues," "I Ain't Sad,"
"Spanish Gold" and "May the
Dreams of a Dreamer Come True."
For the trip the Klub will have a
special Pullman car, which will be
attached to the regular trains. The
play will be presented in Lincoln the

university would not be able to offer
athletic recreation to nearly so many
students as it does now."
Football alone pays its own ex
penses and pays most of the cost of
maintaining the other sports. Foot
ball in itself does not cost as much
as many people think. The profits for
the last football season were nearly
su,O00. This was spent to cav the
expenses of basketball, track, wrest
ling and cross-country. U of wbirh
