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.
CORNHUSKERS MEET FIRST FOE
I : " "
MIKE SELZER
The new style of play Introduced by
the new coaching system demands a
heavy backfleld. and Mike Selzer lacks
weight The little halfback may not
get Into every game, but if he does he
will be in the play every minute
! can go through Ashland, going or coni
j ing, the letter said. 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.

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.
Dean Charles Fordyce leaves tonight
for McCook, where he will deliver an
address tomorrow morning before the
School Men's club of southwestern Nebraska.

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.

In order of accommodate the farm
students, and also to give every oppor
tunity to campus students to secure
student athletic tickets, the season
booklets, good for every home athletic
contest, will be on sale this morning
and Saturday morning, as well as this
afternoon. .
So far this season the books have
only been on sale in the student ac
tivities office in the afternoon from 1
to 5 o'clock. The sale has not been
very good from the students' point of
view, as less than half the number
that bought tickets last year have yet
secured them. Some complaint was
heard that with the sale going on only
in the afternoon a portion of the stu
dents could not buy their tickets. The
morning sale for today and tomorrow
is announced to give these students a
chance.
The sale of the tickets will discon
tinue tomorrow at noon. In the after
noon the first football game of the sea
son, with the Drake university team,
will be played on Nebraska field. Stu
dents who wish to secure their season
tickets in time for the Drake game

HUSKERS ARE PREPARING
FOR THEIR FIRST GAME
OFFENSE DISPLAYS BUT LITTLE
POWER AGAINST FRESHMEN
Coaches Concerned Over Outlook for
Tomorrow's Game Shaw Will
Not Play
Continuing the series of secret prac
tices in preparation for the Drake
game tomorrow, varsity and scrubs
engaged in a long scrimmage on Ne
braska field yesterday 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

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

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.
Any man who wishes to try for a place
can do so. All who are ambitious are
asked to give their names to H. C.
Campbell, Innocent who is in charge
of this feature of the varsity games.
Both of the University yell leaders
of last year. Burke Taylor and U. S.
Harkson, have graduated from the
University, leaving their places un
filled. The position is a difficult one.
and yet one of the most Important to
the University, for the value of organ
ized rooting as a factor in winning
football games has been demonstrated
time and time again.
The yell leaders who are success
ful in winning places will be taken on
the trip to Iowa. Several applications
have come in to Campbell, but he is
anxious to hear from more 60 that the
best selection can be made.
