Scrubs Learning Kansas Plays to Use
in Scrimmage Again Huskers
This Week
Full of .the confidence which wins
battles and determined to keep up the
fine record which it started on Satur
day the team reported for practice
yesterday afternoon in fine condition.
None of them are over-confident, the
coach saw to that Immediately after
the game when he pointed 4out all mis
takes that each man had made.
There is a great deal of skepticism
about the campus as to the actual
strength of the Kansas Aggies, after
the way that Drake behaved. But one
has only to talk to one of the Kansas
coaches and see the confidence stick
ing out all over him to be sure that
something Is going to happen next
Saturday. ' ! '
Lots of Pep
The practice was full of pep last
evening even though there was no
scrimmage. The whole show was be
hind closed gates and as a result the
coach had the men run through some
of his pet stunts. The opening stunt
of the practice was a wanning up ses

150 STUDENTS AND
FACULTY ATTEND
ART EXHIBITION
About 150 students, members of the
faculty and friends attended the re
ception held fn Art hall Friday even
ing. The exhibition Included work
from the Boston museum of fine arts,
the Pennsylvania academy of fine arts
and the Chicago art Institute. Asso
ciate Prof- B'?nche C. Grant gave a
very illuminating talk on the work of
these three schools. She stressed the
fact that tha Boston museum of fine
arts had restricted its activity to the
development of painting and bad never

tain Corey and under the eagle eye ot
the coach, who called any shirkers
that he saw.
The charging machine next received
the united and undivided attention of
the line men while the backfield
worked up new signals. A snappy sig
nal practice was followed by looking
over some of the K. A. C. plays that
the scrubs showed. There was no
rough work, the men just merely
watching the plays and figuring out
how to meet them.

Rutherford Busy
Rutherford was busy teaching the
scrubs the plays he learned last Friday
when he viewed the Kansas Aggie
game at Lawrence. These plays will
be used in scrimmage later in the
week.
The work of Pat Norris, who looks
as if he had the goods this year after
his year of rest, is pleasing the
coaches greatly.
A mistake appeared in Monday's
paper when Doyle was credited with
going over the line after Cook's 52
yard sprint. The Julian stunt was
done by Rhodes. The mistake was not
so serious as it may seem as the two
men play side by side and either one
of them would have covered that dis
tance any day in the week.
WANTS ROOTERS
TO SIT TOGETHER
AT FOOTBALL GAMES
Cheer Leader Adler very urgently
requests that all loyal rooters reserve
their seats in the student section for
the following games of the season.
This will greatly Improve the crer
ing and in this way help to win
games. '
It Is also suggested that all who can
provide themselves with megaphones
and join in the cheering. It is a
noticeable fact that at Ames, Kansas
and Iowa the cheering Is much better
than at Nebraska while the teams are
the inverse.

auditorium. In past years the Oliver

from 600 to 700 people have repeatedly
been turned away from the show be
cause the Oliver did not have the seat

its ample floor space, will accommo

far in regard to reserved seats, al
though in all probability the same plan
of reserving the main floor will be car

The Program Stunts
Chairman Holts has made no defi
nite announcement In regard to the
number of stunts that will comprise
the program, but has Informed the dif
ferent organizations that they should
enter their stunts as soon as possible.
There has been some talk of cutting
down the number of stunts and raising
the standard, if possible. Keener com
petition among the organizations will
be forthcoming In this case, and the
management believes that better
stunts will result.
Some of the performances of last
year's show were put on by organisa

the annual all-freshman mixer will be
held in the Armory.
The committee in charge has made
arrangements for a varied program of
amusements, from dancing to home

will find congenial company In any
thing he may want to do to spend the

A movement is on foot among the
fraternities to discourage the men
from taking co-eds to make the mixer
a real get-together affair.
The mixer Is under the management

Co-Eds on Campus and Men Down
Town Boost for Good of University
and the Team

raise funds to help defray the ex
penses of the band to Portland next

and Silver Serpents and XI Delta tag
ging the men, and football warriors,
Vikings, and men prominent in every
class, selling dance tickets down town.
Before nightfall the boosters expect
every student to be wearing a tag. The
girls will be asked to contribute only
what their school pride and pocket
book prompts them, from a "jitney" to
a dollar. The men will be expected
to buy a ticket to the band dance Fri
day evening.
At 8 o'clock this morning the men
met at the office of student activities
in the Administrfation building, and
there received final instructions on the
campaign that is being carried on
down town. Every place of business
will be canvassed, and tickets offered
for the dance. The proposition has the
backing of the Lincoln Commercial
club, and the business men who appre
ciate the immense advertising value
for the University, the city and the
state the presence of the band with the
football team will have.

ASKS RAG TO ADOPT
. SIMPLER SPELLING
Twelve Words Suggested for Paper
by H. G. Paine, Secretary of Sim
plified Spelling Board
H. G. Paine of New York City, sec
retary of the Simplified Spelling
Board, has written to the editor-in-chief
of The Nebraskan. asking that
the paper adopt the twelve words
recommended by the board and al
ready adopted by the University, and
suggesting that some of the simpler
forms could be introduced without the
paper becoming at all radical.
"The twelve words suggested are
those adopted and used since 1898 by
the National Education association.
They are:
tho for though.
altho for although.
thru for through.
thruout for throughout
thoro for thorough.
thorofare for thoroughfare.
thoroly for thoroughly.
catalog for catalogue.
decalog for decalogue.
pedagog for pedagogue.
program for programme.
prolog for prologue.
The Nebraskan uses the last four
but one of these words, but has not
yet adopted the other eight
In his letter, in addition to the forms
given aboue, Mr. Paine also used
these: "riting," "shal." "progressive,"
"ar." "conservatlv," "staf."

value of the band's going, especially
to the University. Coach Stewart has
said that it may mean the loss of the
game not to have the band, as it has
accompanied the team on every trip
for many years past. The vigor with
which the football men are pushing
the sale of tickets is ample evidence of
the Importance they give to the trip.
The goal that is being tried for. is
$2,600. This is a scant allowance to
take the organization of the fory best
players to the coast and return, and
yet with this amount in hand, the ath
letic board feels that it can assume
the rest of the burden.
Best estimates on the number of
tickets that can be sold for the Friday
night party place it at 1 2,000. There
are almost that many men students
I enrolled in the University, and the
' presutfcptton Is that nearly every man
will have a ticket by sundown to
night Alumni Tickets
The few remaining tickets will be
disposed of to alumni and business
men who are interested In the trip,
i They will not go to the Auditorium to
dance next Friday, but they will go
for a while to see how the students
enjoy themselves, and to hear the beet
dance music ot the season.
Some of the girls who are going to
do the tagging of the co-eds think that
not less than $200 will be raised by
this .means. That is expecting each
University girl to give a little more
than a dime, not a great amount Many
will have to give much more than that
a few will give less. It is hoped,
however, that none will give nothing
at all.
NO SCORES YET
III SOCCER GAME
More Than Twenty Girts in Football
Contest, But No Goals Mad
Soccer football for girls has been
pronounced a decided success by those
woh have been playing the game. Fri
day was the first day the game has
been played in earnest as the girls
have been playing hockey until that
time. As yet a score has not been
made.
The soccer ball very much resem
bles a basketball, but is about two
thirds as large. The ball is kicked
with the instep instead of the toe, the
game being a combination of hockey
and Rugby footbalL The ball can be
stopped with any part ot the body ex
cept the hands.
Each score which is made by putting
the ball between the goal posts counts
two points. In the two days that the
girls have been playing strenuously,
neither side has yet scored. Eleven
girls are required for a team and thers
have been from twenty-five to thirty
out every day.
Soccer is being played three days
week. The delay in getting started
wss caused by the ball not arriving
on time.
