PRICE FIVE CENTS Toe skara TOWNS CLAMORING FOR UVIVERSITY WEEK SHOW APPLICATIONS POUR IN MONTHS AHEAD OF TIME Ashland Writes for Shows Five West ern Towns Put in Joint Application The demand for the University Week shows has already become in sistent from a number of Nebraska towns, and the managers this year are going to find it difficult to route the five or six University organizations that will make the trip next spring vacation. One thing that has brought joy to the hearts of the original boosters of the University Week is that this year there has come a call for the shows from several towns that refused to consider the proposition when it was first suggested two years ago. One such town is Ashland. Yester day T. A. Williams, the agent of stu dent activities, received a letter from Ashland business men, formally ask ing that that town be considered this year, inquiring terms, etc., and point ing out the advantages of Ashland. Advantages of Ashland No matter what route the University Week stunts will take this year, they WILSON LEADS 111 STRAW VOTE Workmen on Chemistry Building Vote 51 to 9 in Favor of Democratic Candidate Wood row Wilson proved the popular presidential candidate, according to the first straw vote taken at the Uni versity, among the sixty workmen of the Chemistry building. Slips of pa per were handed out to the workmen and they were asked to state their preference. Fifty-one of them voted for Wilson, nine for Hughes. The result of the vote was given to a Dally Nebraskan reporter by a man who has been active in republican party circles, and who did not want to have his name appear in print for that reason. The accuracy of the vote is vouched for by the manager of the workmen at the building. The men included carpenters, brick layers, masons, Iron workers and com mon laborers. No explanation was given for the unanimity of sentiment anion? the workmen.

The advantages of the town as a railroad center, with branch routes leading in all directions, were pointed out, suggesting that the city should be on the circuit this com ing spring. Last summer five towns in the west ern part of the state, thrtt had not yet been visited by the University Week shows, formed an organization with I the avowed intention of securing the exhibition. These towns selected one of the prominent educational men of that part of the state, Superintendent Chadderdon of Oxford, to represent them and to see that the University Week stunts come to them. This is the first time a whole cir cuit has banded itself together and then made application for the shows. Previously the towns have always act ed singly. These five Oxford, Min den, McCook, Holdrege and Beaver Crossing, present a circuit organized with the routing already planned for, and every provision of that sort made. They will undoubtedly make a strong bid for the spring's shows. Anxious for Week So anxious are they for the Univer sity Week, that when the opera house (Continued on page S) HINDS COMMERCIAL CLUB PRESIDENT Clarence E. Hinds, '18, of OdelL yes terday defeated Owen S. Hand, '18, of Peoria, III., for the presidency of the University Commercial club, by a vote of 52 to 49. In the election of a week ago the two candidates tied and the special election was very close and hotly contested. Good campaign work was done by the supporters of Mr. Hinds, as shown by the fact that twenty-five votes were hustled to the polls during the last fifteen minutes of voting. Mr. Hinds, who was the former treasurer of the Commercial club, is a member of Alpha Kappa Psi, the hon orary commercial fraternity. A smoker by the University Com mercial club will be held Saturday night at 7:30 at the Lincoln Commer cial club. It is hoped that every mem ber and prospective member will at tend and give the club a good start for the year.

CONFERENCES BETWEEN CITY AND UNIVERSITY BUSINESS WOMEN'S CLUBS The Business Women's club of Lin coln has invited the Business Women's club of the University to a series of conferences to investigate the stand ing of women in business. A survey of the city in view of a directory of business women is suggested along with many of the other problems con fronting the girl who works. The Business Women's club of the University was organized last year with about twenty-five members, and is much larger this year. The confer ences between the clubs is something of an innovation and a great deal of good is expected to be done by the co-operation of the two organizations, as is shown by the success of the sim ilar club for men.. The first of the conferences will be held this afternoon.

By far the greater portion of the time was taken up by trying out the varsity of fense, with indifferent success. The feature of the practice, outside of its flatness, was the work of "Pat" Norris, scrub tackle. Norris, who hails from Halligan's town, North Platte, played a brilliant game of freshman football, following a prep school career in which he convinced the people of the home town that he was every bit the equal of his fellow citizen, Mr. Halligan, but did not flour ish under the Stiehm regime. Norris' Touchdown Norris appeared in scrimmage last night for practically the first time, and played in mid-season form. He was mixed up in every play; broke through the varsity defense in the smashing HUGHES COMING; SPEECH IN DOUBT Charles E. Hughes, the republican candidate for president, will be in Lin coln Sunday and Monday, October 15 and 16, according to yesterday's press reports, but neither he nor his cam paign managers have indicated wheth er in that time he will be able to ac cept the invitation of the University students to speak before them. The Delta Upsilon fraternity, of which Mr. Hughes is a member, has been consulting its cook daily, think ing that it might be possible to get the candidate to eat dinner at the chapter house at Sixteenth and R streets, Sun day noon. Whether or not Mr. Hughes will do this is still a matter very much up in the air. His fraternity brothers are hoping, however, that he will be able to spend some time at tha chap ter house. The recently organized Hughes and Fairbanks club decided to form a marching club to welcome the candi date when he came to Lincoln. If he arrives here early on Sunday morning, this plan may be abandoned and the club will simply appoint a delegate to greet the former chief Justice when he reaches the city. TOMORROW TED RIDDELL Nebraska's right end, second year on the team, who the coaches and other experts have said has all the potential ability of a Chamberlain. Ted's play will be closely watched In the game tomorrow afternoon. style which made him famous in high school football, and finally, not. con tent with spoiling varsity formations, picked up a fumble and raced fifty yards for a touchdown. The encouraging showing of Norris comes in good time, for it was defi nitely announced yesterday that "Ed" Shaw would not take part in Satur day's encounter. It looks as though Norris would be called upon to fill the all-valley shoes Jeft vacant by Shaw; although Wilder, who has been hold ing down Shaw's place in the scrim mage from which he has been absent, has been playing a steady, consistent game. Never was pre season dope to thick in the dope bucket as it was on Ne braska field yesterday. Although given little chance to show what they could do with the ball on the offense, the scrubs succeeded too well in stop ping any varsity maneuver that might be tried. There seemed to be too many holes in the stonewall. Weak Offense But it is not the line which is caus ing Doctor Stewart and his assistant, "Dick" Rutherford, to assume a partic ularly serious attitude when the open ing game is mentioned. The Husker (Continued to Page Three) YELL LEADERS JO TRY OUT Ambitious Oner Asked to Show Skill at Drake Game Tomorrow Tryouts for yell leader at the var sity football and basketball games will be held at the Drake game tomorrow.

Several applications have come in to Campbell, but he is anxious to hear from more 60 that the best selection can be made. r A 1 v RAY DOYLE Ray Doyle, better known as "Lum," this year will appear for the last time as a college football player.
