PRICE FIVE CENTS CORNHUSKERS REACH END OF LONG JOURNEY TODAY SPECIAL TRAIN WITH TEAM AND BAND TO ARRIVE THIS NOON Reception .at Burlington Station Parade Through Town Short Rally In Armory Late last night railroad officials could not state positively at what time the Cornhusker special would reach Lincoln. Handbills will be distributed on the campus this morning giving full details of the reception. After traveling 4,000 miles or more, the trip including a victory over the Oregon Agricultural college football team, a dip In the ocean and a glimpse of Glacier National park, the Corn buskers football team, band and root ers, will reach Lincoln this noon. The special train will be met at the station by a crowd of hundreds of. stu dents, anxious to do honor to the vic torious team and coach. The fresh man band will toot in welcome to the band of forty who made the western trip, and who blew so lustily for Ne HALLOWE'EN MIXER WELL CHAPERONED PROMINENT FACULTY FOLK CON SENT TO ACT Apple Bobbers to Vie for Honors Frenzied Dancers Will Moderate Their Steps The all-important question of facul ty chaperones for the mixer tomorrow night in the Armory, has been settled by the agreement of these to act: Prof, and Mrs. G. O. Virtue, Prof, and Mrs. H. W. Caldwell, Prof. Aman da Heppner, Prof. L. W. Chase, Prof. L. T. Skinner, Prof. H. J. Young, Prof. W. C. Brenke, Prof. A. D. Schrag. These faculty folk enjoy a Hallow e'en party as well as any other kind of party, and they are reported to have agreed to come if they wouldn t have to be typical chaperones that is to say, if they would be permitted to enjoy themselves at the Hallowe'en mixer. So the mixer committee has deter mined that the chaperones will not miss a slnglebit of the evening's fun, nor their due shart of the cider, dough nuts and apple pie. Apple Bobbers A number of swains about the school who have figured in the winning end of apple bobbing contests in their "own hum towns," are going to com pete for honors tomorrow night. The sport will be thrown open to all en trants, and it is intimated that the very latest in the apple bobbing line will be demonstrated. The report has gone out, also, that since the first early mixer, when bo many and so weird dances were ex hibited on the Armory floor, the fren zied ones, who have tried to imitate the whirling dervishes in the past, will modulate their steps and glide along as smoothly as the River Lethe. Whatever the reports may be, there is the certainty that there will be a mixer; that it will be a Hallowe'en mixer; that there will be "punkun:, Pie, cider and doughnuts; that the af fair will be chaperoned by the afore said faculty, and that it will be as much of a success, as the two-bit par ties have been. What more need be said? . Tho wireless radio station at Iowa sends the correct time to the sur rounding country by means of large electric lamps which "wink" the time by code flashes. Ex. braska at every station o importance from here to the Pacific coast and back. A short rally will be held in the Ar mory, after the team has been hauled up from the station. Chancellor Avery, the coaches and Captain Tim Corey will be called upon to speak. The cheer leaders will be there to lead in the pap, and a general jollification over the Cornhusker success will be held. Longer Trip The trip to the coast and back has taken just a day longer than was or iginally planned. The extra time was made necessary by the insistent de mands of loyal Nebraska alumni, who would not accept a refusal of their in vitations to stay awhile and exchange stories of the school. During the trip the team has been kept in the best of condition by Coach Stewart, with daily workouts both morning and afternoon. This after noon and tomorrow will be spent in practice on Nebraska field, and the Cornhuskers will be fully ready to meet Wesleyan in the annual battle with the Methodist school, Saturday afternoon.

Were Behind Their Team Saturday To us who stayed at home the game lnst Saturday was a fight between Tim and Ted and Jimmie and' Dobbie and the rest of our beys on the one side, and a name, the Oregon agricultural college, on the other. We forgot that our team, sent west with the hopes, the best wishes of our school, met a team of boys just as dear to their school, urged on by the same high hopes of the students out there. Tame into The Nebraska:; office yes terday the O. A. C. Barometer, from the Aggie school, printed the day be fore the battle. It contains an edi torial that gives us a glimpse of the fight our team was up against when it et the Pacific coast stars. This is what the editorial said: "TOMORROW" "Tomorrow we meet Nebraska. It is a team that for three years has been undefeated. It is a team that causes the Middlewest football coaches to winco with unpleasant memories. Yet it has no such effect on us. We are not over-confident nor are we ignor ant -of the "Cornhuskers"1 strength.

FRATS DECLARE FOR CO-OP SYSTEM GREEK LETTER COUNCIL FAVORS BUYING PLAN Hope to Reduce High Cost of Living By Purchasing Food at Wholesale Price The interfraternity council meeting with representatives of other societies, voted to accept the plan for co-operative buying of commodities submitted by Ed O'Shea, '19, Sigma Chi, and ap pointed a committee to work with him to arrange a price list which will be submitted to all societies occupying houses. Twenty-five organizations signified their intention of taking ad vantage of the plan providing that the price list and arrangements proved satisfactory. The council expressed the opinion informally that the plan accepted fur nished the most practicable method of starting a system of co-operative buy ing which could gradually be elab orated. Wholesale Prices All commodities ordinarily ordered in quantity lots will be delivered to the houses at wholesale prices. Brok en cases and partial lots will be de livered at a price 5 per cent above wholesale. Meat and fresh vegetables will be purchased through O'Shea as agent at a price somewhat above wholesale, but as low as can be ar ranged. The O'Shea plan disposes of all sta ple groceries at a saving of at least 20 per cent. Meat will come at an agreeably reduced price, and broken lots of groceries at approximate wholesale prices. In commenting upon the plan, the general opinion of the council was favorable, and mem bers expressed their belief that it would form a foundation upon which a system could be founded that would solve the problem of current expenses. The present sophomore class at Harvard has a balance in its treasury from last yeai of $475. Ex. We are going up to Portland prepared to win and we are going to win. The first reason why we are going to win is because the coast expects us to win; secondly, we are going to win because we have the old fight and spirit with us this year; lastly, we are going to win to prove to our ex-athletic dicta tor that although he liUi; on us by his own individual efforts, the stiffest schedule in our history O. A. C NEVER QUITS. "Tomorrow, when ganger threatens and the visitors seem to have the edge of the contest, we are going to root like we never did before. We are going to so enthuse our Beavers, that they will be wild men. They will rip such holes in that "Cornhusker" line, that all the "psychic waves" in the world cannot strengthen it Instead of eleven men fighting tomorrow there will bo 2,000, for the students who cannot go to Portland will be backing the team every moment of the game. It will be O. A. C against Nebraska and who can dare claim anything but a victory!" FACULTY WOMEN MAKE MERRY AT DINNER "THE SECRET SIN," PLAY WITH MESSAGE, GIVEN Miss Louise Pound Reads Epic of Six Cantos Miss Dorothy Baldwin Dances More than eighty women, connected with the teaching force and executive staff of the University, met last even ing in Faculty hall of the Temple for their first dinner of the year. After the dinner, a short program was presented. Mis Dorothy Bald win, of the department of physical training, gave the Fifth Hungarian dance, by Grahms. As an encore she danced Cbalifs "Gretchen." Miss Ruth Shively accompanied her. Miss Louise Pound, of the depart ment of English literature, next read an "epic poem" in six cantos, or "fyts." The epic was composed, she an nounced, by the well known poetess, Miss Carpathia Punk. She said that two editions had already been ex hausted, and she hoped that her hear ers would not be as exhausted as the editions. When asked the subject of her epic, by a student reporter, she at first said that it was "The Disconti nuity of Things in Nature." After wards she retracted this, and refused to say more than that it was an "Epic of Efficiency." ' Wild Encore The epic was wildly encored, and she responded with some "lines sug gested" to her, she said, "by a recent visit at Miss Grant's art exhibit." For the third and main number on the program, a "stock company," un der the management of Miss Pound, presented what was announced as a "daring diabolical drama," and such it certainly was. It proved to be a gripping emotional play, of intense TEACHERS' COLLEGE WORKS WITH HIGH SCHOOLS OF STATE The bureau of additional measure ments in connection with the teachers' college is co-operating with a large number of the public school3 of this state for the purpose of applying the standardized tests in English, reading, writing, elementary mathematics, al gebra, Latin, German and physics.

The drama wa. arranged for the cast by Jessie Beghtol Lee, for merly of the department of physical training, but now assisting in the de partment of rhetoric. Its theme was the increase in food prices the "high cost of living." The announcement for the play read as follows: "THE SECRET SIN" A modern society drama, showing how the extravagant desires of pleas ure-loving woman undermine the well known home. It also portrays the hectored lives led by poor, weak men, and the resistance it takes, under the stress of the modern woman, to main tain a pure manly character.

Rudyard Montrose, a barrister of wealth and high moral principles. O rare character Catherine Apperson. Harold Harcourt, lover of Sybil. Also messenger of the king. A weak chap but lovable Olivia Pound. This is a play with a message. En dorsed by the clergy.

The audience pronounced Mrs. Lee a dramatist of undoubted power, and the cast more than adequate. Lucile, Becker as the leading lady, gave her difficult part with remarkable effec tiveness, and received many compli ments. The meeting was ended by 8:30. The committee in charge consisted of Es ther Warner, Margaret Hannah, Ethel Beatty, Lulu Runge, and Marie Clark. FIRST UNDERCLASS SOCCER VICTORY TAKE UPPERCLASS INVINCIBLES INTO CAMP. 6 TO S Game Resumed After Snow Forced Rest of Half Week Team Work a Feature The tables turned for the lower classmen soccer team yesterday morn ing when, for the first time since soc cer football was started In September, they scored against the upperclass men, and beat them 6 to 3. A brisk north wind and a slippery field made the game one of the pep piest of the season, and the under classmen put on some real thrillers in the art of sure kicking and team play. Their excellent co-operation rather startled the upperclassmen, who at every practice so far have had things their own way and worked on th'e offensive only. The game yesterday morning was the first one played since the snow or last Thursday. That the upperclass men "Invincibles" were rusty on their plays, due to the lack of practice dur ing the past week, is the excuse o. fered for their defeat, while the lower classmen, spurred on by victory, say that they will double yesterday's score at .the game on Friday. The new members are to be Initiated at the next regular meeting, November 8. The club will meet thea in Faculty hall and all members, especially the new ones, are asked to be present. The Junior prom committee at Tale is elected by popular ballot much the same as Union or Council officers. Ex.
