forget to publish everything that hap
pens on the blessed old campus, and
dont let me lose out on a single issue."

More howling students will follow. The

COLLEGE BOOK STORE
, HELPED CAMPAIGN TO
SEND BAND TO OREGON
The College Book Store helped along
the "Band to Portland" campaign by
donating twenty per cent of the gross
sale receiDts Friday, amounting to
f 19.24. ,
Because the plan was gotten up hur
riedly, little time was given for adver
tising it, which cut down the size of
the donation somewhat. E. H. Long,
proprietor, was well pleased with the
results under the circumstances.
Furdue has a novel method of se
lecting its cheer leaders. At last Sat
urday's game a secret ballot was
taken on six candidates among the
students in the bleachers. Exchange.
BAND BENEFIT
PARTY WAS A
BIG SUCCESS
With 250 couples dancing to the best
music that has been played at a Uni
versity party this year played by the
cadet band the benefit party to help
send the organization to Portland with
the football team was a success
Merriment was added to the party
by the tooting of scores of small horns
and throwing of confetti. The proceeds
from the sale of the horns, confetti
and lemonade were added to the money
received from the 6ale of dance tickets.
The result of the campaign among
the students and Lincoln business men
to raise money to send the band to
Oregon is not known as yet, because all
of those who had tickets have not
checked them in with T. A. Williams,
agent of student activities.

near athletes, will be sent on the
team's longest road trip. He will go
hoping to see the Cornhuskers win,
confident that they will do their best
every minute of the play, and realizing

NEAR KNOCK-DOWN
FIGHT AT GAME
Students Attempt to Capture Seats
Held at Reserved Prices
Angered at an extra charge of fifty
cents for reserving seats in the center
of the south bleachers, students at the
game Saturday attempted to rush the
guards stationed at the entrance to the
best sections and a near free-for-all
fight was started. Chief of Detectives
Antles, who was seated in the press
box, rushed to the scene. He stopped
the fracas before any blood was spilled.
Expressions of discontent with the
athletic board for charging for reser
vations to a game with the Aggies were
numerous among the students in the
stands. The suggestion was made that
the guards be brushed aside and the
better seats taken. This was attempt
ed, in good natured fashion, but the
cadets stuck to their posts, and with
a good deal of spirit resisted the on
slaught.
One man. who did not look like a
University student, and who had
offered to bet some money aganist Ne
braska', began to- use his fists and
struck one of the cadets on the back
of the head, when the guard was en
gaged in the other direction. The
chief arrived at this stage of the pro
ceedings and soon quieted the throng.
At his solicitation the men went back
to the poorer seats.

Quartet Proves Popular With
Crowd

gathered together in the Armory Sat
urday night for the first All-Freshman
mixer. Four hundred and ninety odd

The big Armory floor was crowded
with dancers who, despite the close
quarters, derived evident enjoyment
and applauded each selection enthusi
astically.
FRESHMEN
The news that Jack is going has not
been officially confirmed by the ath
letic board, but the matter has been
discussed, and there are assurances
that it Jack can stand the trip, he
will go. The doughty old Englishman
declares that he will be able to do it,
and his heart warms whenever the
thought comes to him that he may be
able to cheer his boys to a victory
2,000 miles from the home grounds,
against a hostile crowd and a deter
mined team.

AGGIES SHOW STRENGTH;
HOLD HUSKERS DOWN
NE8RASKA OFFENSIVE RAGGED;
DEFENSE IMPREGNABLE
Kansas Fought Every Minute of the
Way Nebraska Earned One
Touchdown
BY DWIGHT P. THOMAS
Although their star player was a
failure, the Kansas Aggies, as a team,
played excellent ball against Nebraska
Saturday. On the other hand the
Cornhuskers played ragged ball and
should have won by a score of 7 to 0
instead of 14 to 0.
For Nebraska the best men were
Caley, Cook, Gardiner and Riddell ,on
the ogense. On the defense Corey,
Kositzky, Rhodes and Moser showed up
welj. Caley and Cook gained the
most ground from regular formations.
They circled the ends and bucked off
tackle for repeated gains. Gardiner
didn't play up to his usual form but
he got to going in the last quarter and
made several good runs.
Riddell didn't get a chance to show
what he could do until the last quar
ter but he made up for lost time then.
Doyle and Rhodes made frequent gains
through tho center of the line, al
though that was a rather hard task,
for the Aggies had a well trained line.
Defensive Work
The work of Rhodes and Riddell was
excellent on defensive. Riddell re

THREE WIN TRIPS
TOP0RTLAND
Adams, Prusa and Ames Are Winners
in Armstrong's Contest
A. L. Adams, E. J. Prusa and K. R.
Ames are the three University students
o win the free trip to Portland, Ore.,
offered by the Armstrong Clothing
company in its guessing contest. Arm
strong's offered the prizes to the three
students who would guess the nearest
to the total weight of the twenty-two
Nebraska University football teams
since 1891.
The correct weight was 70,954t
pounds. Adams was first with a guess
of 70,951; Prusa, second place, guessed
70,963, and Ames, third, guessed 70,965.
ELINOR STAFFORD MILLAR
AT Y. W. C. A. VESPERS
TUESDAY AFTERNOON
Miss Elinor Stafford Millar will
speak at the vespers service Tuesday
evneing at 5 o'clock in the Y. W. C.
A. rooms. Miss Millar is an Australian,
and her experience in work among the
girls and women of her own country
gave her many opportunities along the
line of social service. She has been
in this country tve ten or twelve years,
and during that time has been actively
engaged in work among girls. She has
spoken in the United States to every
class of people, and has made hun
dreds of friends through her magnetic
personality, her unbounded enthusiasm
and her ability to tell a good story.
peatedly tackled his opponent, the
famous Randalls, for Iobbcs, while
Rhodes stopped all gains through his
side of the line. Corey and Moser
did good work also, stopping plays re
peatedly. Corey had the best man on
the Aggie team to play against. His
opponent was Doddril, a big husky
of about 200 pounds, who had a bad
habit of getting in the road of Corn
huskers at all times if he was not at
tended to first. The rest of the line
men all did good work on defense.
For the Aggies, as was noted, the
work of Doddril was the best, while
Skinner, last year's captain, played a
good game at end. The biggest dis
appointment of the day was the play
ing of the much touted Randalls, who
failed to gain a single yard. Instead
he lost all the way from S to 15 yards
on almost every play. "Stiff" as he is
called at Manhattan serves as the
correct name for the way he looked to
the spectators. ,
Cause of Score
No one can account for the exact
cause of the small score. The AggiC3
could do absolutely nothing on the
effense, making only two first downs
and those on forward passes. The
tagged interference and the fumbling
of Nebraska are two good reason for
the small size of the score.
Even considering these points it
seems that something was lacking.
There was not much spirit in the play

Submarine warfare on merchant ves
sels may be the question for debate
between Kansas and Nebraska uni

the law of nations as regards non
combatant enemies."
Should Kansas accept the question
Nebraska will have the affirmative at
Lincoln, and the negative at Lawrence.
Last year Nebraska defeated Kansas
at both ends of the question on increas
ing the nation's armament.
An open try-out debate to select fif
teen men to compose the debating sem
inar ,will be held before long. From
these fifteen, who will work together
for several weeks, eight men will be
chosen to represent Nebraska on the
two teams. The teams will be selected
in November.
The members of the Nebraska Uni
versity debating board who submitted
the submarine question to Kansas are
Professors H. W. Caldwell, F. M. Fling,
