One hundred people have bought season tickets for athletic events
at Nebraska In the coming year. Out of an enrollment of more than
forty-five hundred.
That means that one person out of every forty-five you meet walk-
Ing on the campus has bought himself a season ticket. They hav.e
decided that It Is a part of their loyalty, or a part of their college
life, or a part of their pleasure, to enter into the. spirit of Cornhusker
athletics, to that extent.
Aren't there any thrills In your being when you see the tense Scar
let and Cream line advance at the passage of the ball?
Don't your heart stop for the brief second that that wonderful ma- $-
chine, "The Cornhuskers" converges at a point In the line and one of
our lads breaks through for a good gain?
Don't you want to be one of the happy rooters when the backfield
starts on that flight around the end?
You sure do. You want to be there with bells on and rooting for
old Nebraska. . .
See Nebraska meet Missouri for the first time since 1902. s
8ee Nebraska meet Michigan, the greatest team In the west In 1910. a.
You're going to be awfully lonesome anywhere but on Nebraska
Field.
A hundred tickets sold out of an enrollment of thousands. We
express our thanks to and our pride In every buyer, however.
Take $3.00 today. It's a business proposition since you're sure to
go to $3.00 worth of events. Buy that ticket today. It can be secured
at the Y. M. C. A. or at the Co-op Book 8tore.
PROVE THAT YOU ARE A CORNHUSKER.

cents Sonior society, and Holmes had
boon announcod as tho choice of the

Bomowhat of a surprise, but his forces
woro well Organized and Holmes was
defoatod by a vote of 92 to 47.
Attendance Light.
Tho attendance at the meeting was
light, the engineers being the only
college that attended In a body. This
Is accounted for by tho fact that
Holmes had no known opposition and
little Interest had been manifested
previous to tho balloting.
