FRESHMEN DETERMINED
TO WHIPJOPHOMORES
WEETING8 BEING HELD TO COM
PLETE THEIR ORGANIZATION.
BLOOD TO BE SHED SATURDAY
Plans Now Completed for the Big
Lower Class 8cramble To Be
Exciting Combat.
Froshman and Sophomore havo but
two moro days to prepare for tho big
event of tho first semester, the an
nual Olympics Day. The combat this
year promises to be one that will bo
long remembered in Olympic annals,
both armies having spent some weckB
of training and preparation in order
to be In fit shape to get tho enemy's
angora.
Freshmen are More Numerous.
The underclassmen outnumber tho
vainer Sophs slightly, but tho greater
experience of both tho class as a
wholo and of tho Individual members
of tho smaller band, it Is thought,
mako up for this deficiency.' In addi
tion tho Sophs have an added advan
tage in tho fact that they have boon
organized for a week longer than the
Freshmen.
Tho froo-for-all Is the event in which
the real test for supremacy will be
made as this bears all the earmarks
of tho old time claBh rushes which
were the joy and diversion of the
Froshles and Sophs of former years.
Tho plan of tho fight is simply to
turn tho fighters Ioobo in the arena
and lot thorn do their worst
Details of Big Fight.
A lne will be drawn on the eastern
end of Nebraska Field and another
lino on tho western end, two side
lines bounding tho fighting space. The
class captains will then flip a coin as
to which side gets tho choice of tho
lines.
Tho free-Ior-all rules provide that
the side which has the most men left
inside these lines at tho end of a
glvon period wins the free-for-all, so
tho Btunt for tho fighters to perform
is to pull the opponents back over
their own line. After a man has once
been pushed back over his own lino
he cannot re-enter the conflict Thus
the mix will go to the side having
not the most men, but those who
flght tho hardest.
Freshles Hold Meetings.
Tho Freshmen held a meeting Wed
nesday night at Memorial hall to or-
, ganizo for the ovents, entries being
made for the -wrestling, boxing and
marathon events. All other Freshmon
are aBked to report on the Flold Sat
urday morning, time to be announced
later, 'The Sophomores will hold their
rally to night in Memorial hall.
Tho University girls have planned
to occupy their usual places in the
grandstand for the Olympics and there
will be plenty of other rooters or
both sides present to see the big mix.

ENBERG GIVES WARNING
MANY FIR8T YEAR 8TUDENT8 ON
THE DANGER LINE
BUCK. UP.
According to ProfcBBor C. C. En
borg, secrotary of tho faculty commit
tee on delinquent students, a largo
percentage of the entorlng class this
fall is already in a fair way to de
velop eye, ear, nose and throat trou
bles that will necessitate withdrawal
from college at tho close of tho first
quarter of tho present year.
Many Freshmen Delinquent.
Profeaaor Enberg statoB that al
ready many freBhmen havo boon re
ported "down" in .one or moro flvo
hour or three-hour courses, and it is
necessary to maintain standing in tho
University that freshmen navigate
tho waters of the ilrst semoster with
a cargo of at least 12 hours' satis
factory work. Each year since the
installation of the delinquency com
mittee, a large number of mon and
co-eds havo been needed at homo
shortly after tho Thanksgiving recces,
and Professor Enborg predicts that
this year will bo no exception unless
tho freshmen begin devoting moro
time to their books.
Committee No Joke.
"Some of thorn seem to think the
delinquency committee is a joke,"
Bald Professor Enberg, "and in some
cases I fear the time of realization
will como too late."

REJUVENATED TIGERS
AFTER CORNHUSKER GOAT
MI880URI ELEVEN NOW TWICE
A8 8TR0NG A8 LA8T WEEK.
ARE CONING TO LINCOLN TO WIN
Coach Brewer's. Athletes Confident
They Can Put Touchdown Over
On Proteges of E. O. 8tlehm.
(Special to Tho Nobraskan.)
Columbia, Mo., Oct. 24. Coach
Browor says tho Tlgors will bo 100
por cont stronger noxt wook whon
thoy moot Nebraska than thoy woro
laBt Saturday, and if that is so the
Cornhuskors will havo to put up a
mighty stiff game.
Teams Improves In a Week.
(A week ago tho Tlgors could not
put a much hotter articlo of football
than tho frcBhman, having just lost
Captain Hackney tho ono man of a
one man team. But rising to -tho
omorgoncy a team was scraped to
gether that has an abundanco of
fight in It, a nowly-dovolopod drop
kicker and a backflold of as fast mon
as thero aro In tho Valley.
Hall, a last year's man who had
been out of tho game on account of
parental objection, is back, and is
punting ovon better than last yoar.
So that deficiency Is alBo supplied in
tho Tiger lineup.
Tigers Have 8trong Line.
In Saturday's gamo at Amos tho
Missouri line was found invincible
the only touchdown bolng on a fluko.
The two end positions wero tho weak
est spots in tho lineup and with a
weok's hard practice Coach Brewer
Ib confldont of picking two mon whom
it will be hard for tho Nebraska play
ers to bafflo.
Missourlans Confident.
So confident are tho Tigers' follow
ers of the ability of tho team to boat
Nobraska, that a largo amount of
oven money has already been placed
agalnBt Nebraska, n6 odds bolng
asked. Captain Hackney saw the
Minnesota-Nebraska gamo and roportB
that although Nebraska has as strong
or stronger a team than It had last
year, Missouri's chances of whip
ping thorn are fully as good as against
Amos, as the team will bo nearly
twice as strong next Saturday.
Tho Tlgors, with that fighting spirit
which is so characteristic, are coming
up to Lincoln Saturday with the de
termination of showing tho Cornhusk
ors tho ropes.
May 8end Special Train,
Plans had been made for a special
train to carry- up, three or four hun- ,
dred students to Lincoln Saturday, .
but tho railroad company balked at
tho last momont and refused to give
a special rate,
Tho number of rooters who accom
pany tho team will probably be very
small as a result, however, all of tho
men's and women's fraternities but
two havo chaptorratr,NebraBka7and
thero will be several fraternity parties
accompany tho team to Lincoln. ' ,
