PIGSKIN POISED
FOR FIRST GAME
OF NEW SEASON
Everything Set for Opening
Battle Between Ames
And Nebraska
BOTH IN PERFECT SHAPE
Coach Bearg; Intends To Give
Many Candidates Chance
To Show Wares
Nebraska and Iowa State will open
the 1927 Missouri Valley football
season on Memorial Stadium field
Saturday at 2 o'clock. The Husker
eleven is in perfect condition for the
Cyclone aggregation mid will attempt
to repeat the 31 to 6 victory of la3t
year.
This is the probable line-up for
Saturday's game.
Nebraska pos. Ames
James center Ayers
Lee end Johnson
Lawson end Burton
Randels tackle Lutjens
Richards tackle Smith
McMullen guard Roe
Holm guard Fischer
Howell half Miller
Presnell half Holman
Oehlrich full Lamson
Brown (C) quarter (C) Weiss
Light Workout Today
Coach Bearg gave his Husker ele
ven a light scrimmage last night and
will hold one more light workout
tonight before Saturday's game. Sig
nal practice for the first two elevens
was the main number on the Husker
coach's program last night. The for
ward pass formation was receiving
a good bit of the practice session
and then Bearg dismissed his foot
ballers.
The third eleven staged a fierce
scrimmage with "Choppy" Rhodes'
freshmen eleven who had the edge
on the Varsity scoring a touchdown
on an intercepted "pass early in the
game. The yearlings were holding
the reserves to downs and on of
fense they would carry the ball to
the end of the chain for first downs.
"Chief" Elkins will be lostto the
Varsity squad by the ruling of the
Missouri Valley eligibility commit
tee. This is a severe blow to Coach
Beargs football squad and especially
to the kicking department as Elkins
was the best punter and kickoff man
on the Husker squad. With the ab
sence of Elkins in Bearg's lineup it
looks as if Glenn Presnell, Husker
half, will handle the punting job in
Saturday's game with the Iowa State
team.
Bearg will continue his policy of
the past in using a large lineup in
the oteninir came and it is very
probable that all the reserves will
get a chance at the Cyclone eleven

STAFF NAMED
FOR BULLETIN
Board of Editors for Nebraska
Law Publication Numbers
Twelve Students
PROF. MERRILL IS EDITOR
Announcement has been made of
the appointment of the following
men to the board of editors of the
Nebraska Law Bulletin: Paul B.
Bowen, David F. Foster, Herbert S.
French, John H. Kuns, Phillip H.
Robinson, Ronald G. Yoder, Norris
Chadderdon, George F. Johnson, Lu-
mir Otradovsky, Donald Russell,
Charles Uhlig, Clarence C. Virtue.
The Nebraska Law Buletin, in ad
dition to serving as the official or
gan of the Nebraska State Bar As
sociation, is devoted to research in
and comment upon Nebraska law. It
is published by the College of Law
of the University of Nebraska under
the editorship of Professor Maurice
H. Merrill. Appointment to the Board
of Editors has come to be regarded
as one of the distinctive honors open
to law students. However, some men
for one reason or another find it im
possible to accept membership, so
that the list of editors is not to be
taken as comprising a complete list
of honor students of the law school.
The law faculty, under authoriza
tion of the Board of Regents, also
awards scholarships which exempt
the holders from payment of tuition
fees for instruction. Such scholar
ships are limited in number and
awarded on the basis of both scholar
ship and financial need.
Graduation with the cum laude
degree, with its accompanying mem
bership in The Order of the Coif, is
still the most coveted honor of law
students, and is open to all who at
tain a position in the highest tenth
of the graduating class.
September 20 Holds
Record as Clearest
Day for Four Months
September holds the record for the
clearest day in four months. Tues
day, September 20, was the clearest
day since May 11, according to fig
ures worked out by W. D. Bancroft,
solar radiation expert at the College
of Agriculture. The air has been ex
tremely clear which gives the sun
rays, violet and ultra-violet, more of
a chance to get to the surface of the
earth.
Science has taught that the suns
rays are very helpful to the health of
the human, body. On the day of
Sepetmber 20, the radiation of the
sun was increased 25 per cent over
the average day of September and
this increase is greater at the end of
the shorter wave lengths.
Quaint Walnut Organ
Graces Library Rooms
Of Historical Society
One of the quaint curiosities which
greets the eye of every visitor to the
rooms of the State Historical Society
fn the Library building is a solid
walnut organ, which was one of the
first, if not the first, to be brought
into the state.
This organ was purchased by the
Cornell family of Verdon, and was
probably brought to their home in
Richardson county over the ice of
the frozen Missouri river in the year
1864. .
Though the organ is only about
three feet tall and four feet long it
still possesses a tone which equals
that of the later type organ in mel
ody. This seems remarkable, in
vitw of the fact that' it was used
regularly over a period which dates
from Civil war times until after the
itminc of the armistice, which ended
the World war. The brass reeds are
in good condition and the keys are
all good though some have turned
slightly yellow.
The old organ was a great Joy to
the Cornell family and a unique cu
riosity to the entire neighborhood,
which came from far and near to
hear its sweet and sdft tones. No
doubt this crgsn contributed st
much toward an enjoyable evening
to this early settler element, which
gathered in' a dimly lighted room
and sang the old songs to its ac
companiment, as the radio and other
modern conveniences furnish for us
tcday.

Senior Is Chosen from List
Of Candidates Examined
At Meeting
BALLOTING ON OCT. 11
Fall Elections, Honorary Colo
nel, and Council Vacancies
To Be Considered
Wayne Gra'tigny, '28, Lincoln, was
chosen chairman of the varsity dance
committee for the coming year by
the student council Thursday even
ing, in a special meeting at the
Temple.
Applicants for the position ap
peared in person before the commit
tee and qualifications of those ap
plying were carefully analyzed by the
selecting board. Gratigny was city
manager for the Demolay dances for
a time. His plans presented to the
council outlined new arrangements
for entertaining and decorating.
Varsity dances will be held on the
Nebraska campus probably every
two weeks for the remainder of the
school year, under the supervision of
the newly appointed varsity dance
committee.
The date of the fall election for
the several class officers, the honor
ary colonel and such vacancies as
may appear on the student council

PLAYERS Mi ADD
RECENT STAGE HIT
Ramsay Says Intensive Preparations
Under Way for Giving "The
Beggar on Horseback"
One of the most successful and
unusual plays of recent years, "The
Beggar on Horsebacl.," may possibly
be presented this season by the Uni
versity Players, in place of another
previously announced production.
Ray Ramsay, in charge of production,
cited the possible change as due to
the fact that intensive preparation
has been made toward eventually
presenting the play.
Mr. Dwight Kirsch, in charge of
stage arrangements and sets, has
been busy for a year designing sets
for this spectacular play, and feels
that they are now ready in case the
play is decided upon. His classes in
stage design have aided him in work
ing out these sets, which are numer
ous and unique.
The play itself relates the dreams
of a musician; succeeding scenes are
incongruous and warped, as are his
dreams, which allow for a wide scope
in weird and striking sets. One of
the productions already chosen is a
play of type, so that "The Beggar on
Horseback," could be easily substi
tuted without changing the proposed
variety of the season offerings.
Evening tickets for the first play,
"Alias the Deacon," are going fast,
while the Student Matinee tickets
for Friday afternoons are proving
popular with students. Evening sea
son admissions are f 5, student mat
inee season tickets are $2.75.

FIRST AWGWAN
BEING PRINTED
Parody by Ethylyn Ayres Is
Feature of Last Copy
Sent to Printer
SALES CAMPAIGN GOES ON
Featuring a parody on Milt Gross,
written by Ethylyn Ayres, final copy
for "The Eye-Opener", first num
ber of the Awgwan, went Into the
hands of the printers Thursday noon
while the annual subscription drive
moved into its third day of activity.
Miss Ayres' ' article, "Milt Gross
Witt a Wisit to Universitas Nebras
kensis", was characterized by Alan
Mcintosh, associate editor, as one of
the cleverest parodies ever submit
ted to the Awgwan. Miss Ayres was
a regular contributor the first part
of last year, writing the "Alice in
Bewilderland" series which appeared
early last fall. Campus critics called
it one of the finest pieces of parody
work they had seen. The take-off on
Milt Gross' style brings campus
scenes and characters into play.
Fraternities and sororities wish
ing block subscriptions should phone
their orders to Hal F. Childs, busi
ness manager of the Awgwan.
Twenty-five copies of each of the
eight issues will be- furnished for
$25, a saving of more than six dol
lars over the regular price.
Other students wishing to sub
scribe may secure their subscriptions
in the Awgwan office for $1.25 a
year if they do not see any of the
subscription solicitors.
ONIYERSITY MEN'S
STAG TO BE SUNDAY
Meeting- Will Be Weekly Affair For
Get-Together and Discussion
Of Campus Affairs
An all-university men's stag will
be held at the Y. M. C. A. head
quarters in the Temple building at
4 o'clock Sunday. This meeting will
be in charge of Mr. L. C. Oberlies.
Mr. Oberlies has become well known
in Lincoln as the head of the largest
men's Bible class in the state of Ne
braska. The purpose of this stag, which is
to be a weekly affair during the re
mainder of the school year, is to
give university men a better chance
to become acquainted with each other
and to discuss various campus prob
lems. At the present time there is
no ratisfactory meeting place for uni
versity men and it is hoped that this
will serve for that purpose. There
is a picked group of 100 men who
will attend but this places no ban
whatsoever on other university men.
The university men's stag is under
th; auspices of the University Y. M.
C. A. cabinet.
This stag will not be a cut and
dried affair but will be a live get
together party. Mr. Oberlies par
ticularly urges all university men
that are interested to come.
