Drizzle Forces Committee
To Postpone Tuesday's
Demonstration.
FORMS IN FRONT TEMPLE
Event Will Be Staged Despite
Weather Nicklas Stated;
Bible Will Talk.
Chilly drizzling rains Tues
day evening caused the student
rally committee to postpone
plans for a "Beat Kansas Ag
gies" pep demonstration,
scheduled for 7 o'clock. At the
. same time it was announced that
the rally would be held Wednesday
night and at the same hour.
In honor of senior members of
Coach Bible's Cornhusker grid
team, Corn Cobs, Tassels, R. O.
T. C. band and other students will
assemble in front of the Temple
for the pep show. Negotiations
are being made to secure Grant
Memorial hall for the rally, btet
committee members in charge were
unable late yesterday afternoon
to state definitely jus where the
rally would be held.
"We plan to form in front of the
Temple and follow the usual route
to 16th St., north to Vine, and west
to the campus, providing weather
conditions are good," sta.ed Fred
Nicklas, committee chairman. "If
tomorrow night offers the same
weather we have had today stu
dents are asked to meet at the
Temple and we will go from
there to Grant Memorial or Social
Science auditorium," he said yes
terday. Planned originally for Tuesday
night because many students ex
pect to leave Lincoln during the
day, tonight's rally is expected to
draw a large crowd of Cornhusker
football enthusiasts. This will be
the last spirit campaign of the sea
son. Seniors who will be honored dur
ing the brief pep demonstration
this evening are: Franklin Meier,
Bud Parsons. Russell Thompson,
Willard Horschcm, Glen Justice,
Neal Mehring, Walter Pflum, Glen
Skewes, Rav Toman, Ed Uptcgrove
and Wally DeBrown.
D. X. Bible is to be principal
speaker for the affair, but his
senior players will each be called
upon in their last appearance be
fore their final collegiate competi
tion. Fraternity and sorority houses
will be cailed this noon, to an
nounce more definite plans for to
nights rally, it was learned. Every
student who is still in Lincoln is
urged to attend the bi-demonstra-tion.
Kansas Aggie students have
been stoking pep fires on their
campus all week. They are intent
upon wresting Big Six champion
ship laurals from Nebraska. "It
we want our team to retain the
crown we've got to show them.
Let's everybody turn out for to
night's rally," Irving Hill, commit
tee member stated yesterday.
The rally will be finished before
ft o'clock, it was pointed out, so
thnt it will not interfere with other
plans for the evening.

General Pershing Little Dreamed 42
Years Ago That His Picked Company
Was Later to Become a National Unit
Fort y-t line years ago when General Pershing, then a sec
ond lieutenant in the Sixth Cavalry and professor of military
science here, formed a picked company of men of the R. 0. T. C.
unit, little did he know thnt this was the beginning of a national
honorary basic drill organization which would extend from New
York to California and from Min-O
nesota to Tennessee and would be
named after its originator,
"Pershing Rifles."
The following year, this com
pany won a drill competition at
Omaha, and in 1893 it became a
fraternal organization bearing the
name of "Varsity Rifles." The next
year tlx? group changed its name
to Pershing Rifles in appreciation
of the initiative and co-operation
of Lieutenant Pershing.
When Pershing left Nebraska in
1895, he gave to the company a
pair of his cavalry breeches. These
breeches were cut into small pieces
and were worn on the uniform as
a sign of membership. These "rib
bons" were the first service rib
bons ever worn in the United
States.
As the First Nebraska Volun
teers, thirty members of the
Pershing Rifles enlisted during the
Spanish-American war. W. H.
THANKSGIVING DECLARATION.
Each recurring year since that first day in 1G20 when Gov
ernor Bradford issued the call bringing the Pilgrims together
for prayer and thanksgiving we have been called together to
give thanks for our many blessings. From the poverty and
want that surrounded our pilgrim fathers we have come to
opulence and wealth'. We may not be individually wealthy,
but we share the bounties of a society rich in material goods
and rich in opportunity.
We may enjoy the comfort which invention and modern in
dustry has provided for all, the culture of a modern city with
its libraries, its churches, its magnificent capitol, its univer
sity. We have friends whom we enjoy, a family circle dear
to us.
Most of all we have courage, optimism and buoyant youth,
with which to face the future. The door of opportunity stands
open to all who intelligently seek its portals. This is a land
where by strenuous endeavor we may achieve. We have cause
to thank God for all these blessings.

From 1900 to 1911 Pershing
Rifles was one of the roost impor
tant features of Nebraska military
and social life. But after that date
interest declined and the organiza
tion became only a semblance of
its former importance. In 1917 con
ditions grew worse and the com
pany was disbanded and its rec
ords burned. Thus all the progress
which had been made seemed to
have gone for naught, and this so
ciety had pabsed from national re
nown to oblivion.
Pershing Rifles was formed
again in 1920 and its rapid re
growth was almost as remarkable
as its downfall. By 1924 ipecial
drill companies all over the coun
try began to seek admittance into

Builders," and from "The Prophet"
by Kahlil Glbran, Miss Pauline
Gellatly brought thoughts on
Thanksgiving to the vesper audi

cessional and recessional which
blended in with the theme of the
service. Announcement was made

following Thanksgiving vacation.
At this time the vesper staff is
planning to present the subject of
"Peace."

FOR KANSAS PEPSTERS
a last stumbling block in the
I tusker's search for a now title,
but they loom formidably in the
path. They, too, are unbeaten in
league competition, and won most
of their games handily, but Ne
braska is as determined to prove
their superiority to the 3934 Big
Six teams as is Kansas State to
enjoy a title. The Kaggies have
never partaken of the sweet fruit
of a championship, and it usually
has been Nebraska that kept them
from it. As competitors, they are
greatly respected by the Scarlet,
whom they have held closer and
more consistently than have other
valley schools, it was a Kansas
State team that, in 1930, knocked
the Nebraskans out of participa
tion in the title by plastering a 10
to 9 defeat on them at home. That
was the last defeat suffered by
a Nebraska football squad in Big
Six games, altho those same Kan
sas Staters have come mighty
close to making history.
Kaggies May Make History.
Next Thursday, when the rest of
the world is thinking about that
big turkey just consumed, Lyn
Waldorf's men may make history,
according to the dope bucket. But
where the dope bucket points
against the Huskers, it has often
been kicked about, and all those
nicely propounded theories about
who should win splashed about th;
gridiron. That has been the case
too often this year for Nebraska
fans to take any stock on what
the experts say.
The Wildcats will yowl their
way into Lincoln favorites, how
ever, more on their showing
against Iowa State while Nebraska
was held to a single touchdown
win by Missouri than from any
previous prowess expressed. Their
howls will be for Cornhuskers
blood before the referee calls his
men together, and after those two
hours of pushing and shoving on
the greensward they will be either
silenced except for a few organ
ized yelps when an over-enthusias-(
