"Stiehm" Roller In Great Shape to
Flatten Wily Gophers. Game Will
Be Battle of a Decade
GAME CALLEEMVr 2:30
Coach Stiehm Says, "We
Have a Good Chance of
Winning." Teams Evenly
Matched. Both Stronger
Offensively than Defen
sively. (H Harlan )
Today the eyes of the entire Mid
die West are focused on Nebraska
field where will occur a contest of
giants The North has come to do
battle with the West. It is the big
game of the year All Nebraska If
on tiptoes awaiting the result
The wily, cunning Gophers have
descended from the north and will
try to defeat Nebraska The strong,
sturdy, sagacious Cornhuskers are
filled with gritty determination to
drive the invaders back, broken and
beaten. It will be the battle of a
decade.
Twenty-two human units, selected
and trained with exceeding care, will
line up, the ono against the other,
to strive, to struggle, to sacrifice for
the great Universities they repre
sent. The pigskin will flash in and
out of sight; body will crash against
body ; brain will be matched with
brain and brawn with brawn The
thunder of the impact of one flesh
and blood machine against another
flesh and blood machine will rise In
the autumn air. Those who are for
tunate to witness the battle will
thrill with the magnitude and glory
of the contest. It will be a tight un
til the last whistle Is blown, with
no quarter given and none expected;
with no excuse for defeat; with no
arrogance in victory.
"Stiehm" Roller In Fine Shape.
The Corahusker machine, familiar
ly known as the "Stiehm" Roller, is
in the best condition. Coach Stieh
hafa groomed his warriors well and
they are each and every one in per
feet shape to put up the greatest
battle of their lives. For three weeks
the W. W., has been pointing his
coaches towards the Big Game. For
three weekB he has been working his
disciples with but one aim In view,
to-wlt, Uiat they should be In perfect
condition to. whip the Gophers. He
has done all that a coach could do.
It la now up to the machine that he
has cemented together to show the
stuff they are made of, and Tor the
students to show that they are with
"Jumbo" and the team in either vie
tory or defent. On the eve of the
battle the lion-hearted mentor said
"The team is in fit condition. The
backfield is as strong as any in the
West. The line has developed in
wonderful fashion and is capable o
playing stone wall football,' WE
HAVE A GOOD CHANCE OF WIN
NING." Minnesota Is Strong.
There is no gainsaying the fact that
the Cornhuskers will face a wonder
fully strong machine in the Gophers
Yet Minesota Is not invincible WIO

A WELCOME TO THE HOMECOMERS WHO MEET ON
CAMPUS TODAY FOR THEIR SECOND ANNUAL
HOMECOMING.
THE
Hy DR CHARLKS K BFSSKY
Here you come trooping back home again after an absence that
has made the old folks think of the days when you were with us with
all your rollicking ways. And as you come we listen for your foot
steps, hoping that you will be as glad to e us as we are to look into
your faces again. How the old days will be revived in our memories
as we se your glad faces, and clasp your warm hands. We shall think
of you as you were ten, twenty, thirty years ago, before Time had
touched your heads with silver threads.
Ycu will find some of the faculty of three decades ago still on the
campus, and still at work, and we shall make it our pleasant duty to
welcome you back to your alma mater. But you will see some vacant
chairs; you will miss some faces from the faculty. Ycu will not see
MacMlllan, nor Hitchcock, nor Aughey, nor Nicholson, nor Hicks, nor
Brace, nor Rachel Lloyd, nor Ellen Smith. We who remain speak for
them the welcome they would have extended to you
Call the roll of the Chancellors while you are on the old campus.
Dr. Benton is living quietly a mile away in this city; Dr. Fairfield has
left us for the unseen beyond; Dr. Manatt is a student of Greek in an
eastern university; Dr. Canfield has passed over Into the other life;
Mr. MacLean is a student of education in England; Dr. Andrews lies
in an invalid's bed in the south; while Dr. Avery is filling the chancel
lorship with great distinction and success.
Call the roll of the professors. Three or four only that you knew
thirty years ago will answer to their names. And then look at the
long line of men and women who now constitute the faculty. There
are more of them than there were of students thirty years ago. And
although they are strangers to you they are doing as good work as was
done by those who taught you so well long ago.
And then the students of today. How very young they look to
you! Of course they do! But they are no younger. You are older;
that is all. They are wonderfully like you in every way. And why
shouldn't they be like you; for some of them are your children, and
others are your neighbors' children.
So welcome back to the "Old Uni." Come and be carefree boys
and girls again for a day, while your proud alma mater smiles her wel
come to you through, her glad tears.
