UNUSUAL PROGRAM
OFFERED THIS YEAR
Highlight of Busy Weekend Feature Kosmet Kluh Fall
Revue, Missouri-Nebraska Grid Battle,
And Innocents Party in Coliseum.
GREEKS MAY AGAIN
Friday Will Also Be Replete With Social Functions;
Pep Rally Will Be Conducted in Evening When
Coaching Staff and Team Will Talk.
Hundreds of alumni arc expected to make their annual trek
back to the campus this weekend when a program crowded
with activities has been arranged for the university's annual
Houicemmng celebration. Highlights of what promises to be a
busy weekend are Kosmet Kluh revue, Missouri-Nebraska grid
came, Innocents HomecomingO
paity. and the possible return of
Homecoming decorations.
Homecoming decorations,
abolished three years by the Inno
cents society because of economic
stress, may again be seen this year
after several attempts to revive
them had failed. Decorations, if
put up, however, will not be on a
competitive basis, and final deci
sion in erecting them will be left
up to individual fraternities and
sororities.
Many fraternities and sororities
have scheduled house parties for
the night of Nov. 23, due to the
fact thnt Homecoming night has
been closed to all events except
the Innocents party. Special din
ners and other functions honoring
graduates and alumni are also be
ing planned by various campus or
ganizations for Friday.
Also included on Friday's pro
gram will be a student pep rally
in the evening when members of
the team and coaching staff will
address the crowd in the stadium.
Saturday's activities commence
with presentation of the annual
Kosmet IClub fall revue in the
Temple at 9 o'clock. Fourteen acts
of vaudeville produced by campus
organizations will be featured in
the revue. A silver loving cup will
be awarded by Magee's to the skit
judged by popular applause to be
the best.
Climax to the revue comes with
the presentation of the Nebraska
Sweetheart in King Kosmet's court
a the grand finale of the program.
Mortar Boards have scheduled a
special luncheon for their alumnae
to be held at the Y. V. C. A. at
noon.
Holding sway in the afternoon
is the football tilt between Ne
braska's title-bound Cornhuskers
aid the Missouri Tigers. Tradi
tional enemies, the Missouri aggre
gation is noted for putting up its
best fight against Nebraska. Be
tween the halves, the Victory bell,
symbolic of victory during the pre
ceding semester, will be presented
to Nebraska in a ceremony hal
lowed by many years' observance.
One of the best Homecoming
parties of years is predicted for
Saturday night with Ace Brigode
and his Virginians, popular radio
and recording orchestra, furnish
ing the music. Sponsored by the
Innocents society, the event has
come to be one of the highlights
of the fall social season, and an
important part of the Homecoming
celebration. An attempt is being
made to extend the deadline for
the dance from 11:30 until 12
o'clock according to members of
the committee in charge. Admis
sion to the party has been set at
$1.10.

Robert Funk, business manager

PARKER WINS
University Without Nebraskans Is
Sorry Sight as Grid Fans Follow
Cornhuskers to Jayhawk Conflict
Sad was the Nebraska campus while its gridiron warriors
and impedimenta were conquering their foes abroad. So sad
indeed it was that the home of the t'ornhuskers, Memorial bta
diuni, opened up its great central entrance in a wide howl,
tears streamed from its reddened (university seal) eyes, and
Jupiter Pluvius. feeling in his vasto
sympathy for the sorrowiui scene
came down off his high-horse and
wept copiously.
Never has the place been so oe
serted. Sorority and fraternity
houses were "silent as a tomb" and
almost as peaceful. The few who
remained at home, to carry on the
work of those in the battle, went
about their rather solitary tasks in
the best of spirits, but how forlorn
appeared these few buzzing Lilli
putians in the face of the campus'
gigantic woe. In short, great was
the sorrorw thereof.

army of Biblemen seemed to take

Home Ec Association Holds
Ceremonies at Ag

Sixty new members were in

total membership of the Ag Col

Ardeth Von Housen, the presi
dent, took charge of the initiation
ceremony, in which the girls
pledged themselves to uphold the
ideals and aims of the organiza
tion, and to take part in campus
affairs.
A short program was given,
which included a musical reading
by Ruth Carsten. and a piano solo
by Gladys Schlichtman. The eve

go. Verg Yelkin thundered into
the game with definite instructions
from the bench "Placekick for
three points, it may mean victory."
One shove at the line and the goal
was still five yards distant. Yelkin
dropped back five, ten, a dozen
paces, finally adjusted himself on
the twelve-yard line. He swung
his foot to and fro slowly, tenta
tively measuring the distance be
tween that well-educated apendage
and the greatly desired goal posts.
Center Frank Meier snapped the
ball, and anxious Kansans charg
ed, but too late. Yelkin had step
ped up to the pigskin, and booted
it squarely out of Chief Bauer's
hands a perfect field goal. The
final gun, eight minutes later,
sounded on that score Nebraska
3, Kansas 0.
But the score was not indicative
of the game. Kansas entertained
the Nebraska footballers on a
gridiron turned into a slough of
mud by frequent and repeated
rains. The speed which was to off
set the Kansas great forward wall
of beef was hindered considerably,
but Nebraska backfielders, notably
Benson, Parsons, Eldridge, and
Skewes ploughed th-u the gumbo
for first downs and yardage
yardage which evaporated into
thin air when the goal line loomed
so near. Against the formidable
array of offensive talent, Kansas
presented two great punters,
Stukey and Harris. Harris reeled
off one beauty that got eighty-one
yards down the field before Chief
Bauer got his hands on it. Har
ris' punting saved Kansas from
many Nebraska threats. Nebraska
started in a flurry of successful
runs that backed Kansas up to its
goal posts, but fumbled and the
Jay defense held the promised
land away.
Lloyd Cardwell. the "Wild
Horse", was removed after the
first play of the game, slipping in
the mud and twisting his ankle.
Glen Skewes reeled off the longest
run from scrimmage, starting the
drive in the final quarter that
ended with three points. He reeled
off forty-two yards from a fake
punt formation, skirting his own
right end and finally being tackled
from behind. Fumbles were costly
to the Huskers, two occuring in
succession on the 5-yard line, and
nine altogether being recorded for
the afternoon's performance, most
of them in anvthing but strategic,
position. The Nebraska superiority
can be seen clearly by the statis
tics. Nebraska gained a total of
245 vards to Kansas' 44, recorded
nine' first downs to Kansas' 1 and
lost thirty-six yards from scrim
mage to the Jays forty-seven.
