of the Corn Cob Carnival. Ted
Adams, an orchestra leader from
the hottest snot in Omaha s Har

Hold your hats, boys and girls,
here we go again,!
Tuesday's general election fig
rials the opening of the 1937-3S
political season, but unlike past
elections this one has failed, as yet,
to arouse any degree of factional
rivalry. Perhaps tomorrow night's
rallies will raise the pitch of ex
citement to a frenzy.

Roosevelt's Chicago Speech
On Non -Isolation Policy
Adds Hope to Cause.
By Ed Murray.
Pacifist at 1h third Nebraska
conference on the cause and cure
of war, held at First Plymouth
church Friday, showed more opti

a peace confer

a time when
there is more
war in the
world than at
any time since

Two of the finest football
teams in the world ever to take
to the Russian flats, just north
of the City Mission on No. 10th
St., will clash this afternoon at
2 o'clock for the publications
lootball supremacy of the Uni
versity of Nebraska. Those two
are the Daily Ncbraskan Crim
son Waves and the Awgwan
Yellow Ripples.
The day before the game, that
was yesterday, found both
teams tense. Critics prophesy
that this afternoon the Aw
gwaners will be past tense.
Undefeated in no games, the
journalists are in fine physical
condition. Their eleven is strong,
fast, heavy, valiant, scrappy,
light, and colossal. The Aw
gwan also has a t3m.
Considered the victor without
a doubt, the Crimson Waves
had little to say before the
game except this: "We'll bet
the Awgwan's team is far fun
nier than its jokes, we betcha."
A crowd of 82.647,038 is ex
pected to attend the melee this
afternoon. You, too, re invited.
