PRICE FIVE CENTS
REGENTS AUTHORIZE
NEW BUILDINGS
WORKING PLANS ORDERED FOR
SOCIAL SCIENCE BUILDING
To Co-operate for New Library Ask
for Army Corps New Appoint
ments Confirmed
The University regents met Satur
day morning in the office of Chancellor
Avery, and approved of the revised
plans for the social science and
teacher's college building, authorizing
the architects to proceed with the
working drawings.
These two buildings have had to be
reduced in size from the original plans,
because of the soaring prices of build
ing material from the time the orig
inal appropriations were made. Not as
many departments can be housed in
the social science building as was
hoped for and the rhetoric department
will have to wait for its new and per
manent home.
The approval of the plans means,
however, that work on both buildings
can probably be commenced early next
year.
To Secure Library
A committee consisting of Regents
Brown, Miller, Ha Her, the chancellor
and Professor Wyer was appointed to
confer with a similar committee ap
pointed by the State Historical society
in regard to co-operation of the his
torical socjety with the University
and the securing of a building erected
for the use of both.
Th6 regents authorized the chancel
lor to make application for a reserve
officers' training corps. This provides
for the appointment as reserve officers
of the United States army those stu
dents who have complied with the
course of military instruction pre
scribed by the government.

250 GIRLS AT
FOOTBALL FEAST
ANNUAL LUNCHEON PRECEDES
AMES GOME
Louise Coe, Toastmistress Peppy
Talks Made by Students and
Alumnae
The Girls' football luncheon at the
Temple Saturday was exceedingly
well attended with 254 girl present.
All available tickets were sold before
Thursday noon and many more were
turned away because of lack of ac
commodations. Many alumnae girls
were present to renew old acquaint
ances.
Louise Coe, '17, was toastmistress,
Marguerite Kauffman, '17, spoke for
the active girls. She said "The Scrim
mage," her subject, was to the game
proper, what college education is to
life. She emphasized the importance
of hard training for the game.
Edna Froyd, '16, represented the
alumnae in telling of "The Game."
Miss Franny Drake, the faculty repre
sentative, talked on "The Goal." In
connection with the game Saturday,
she said the goal we were striving for
was to get Ames' goat. "The big
idea," she added, "is, to aim to be
worthy of the goal we are striving for
in life, whether we win or not."
Small "N" kewpies were sold after
the luncheon. These dolls were
dressed in scarlet and cream with
china hats bearing a large red "N.
Their sale far exceeded expectations
and there were not enough to go
around. Plans were made for the
girls to sit in a special section re
served for them, but failed to mate'
rialize because of lack of support.
Ruth Whitmore, '17, and Mildred
Gillilan, '19, led the cheering and
songs; .which were given with great
enthusiasm. Doris Scroggln, '17, was
general chairman of the luncheon.
MERMAIDS MAY
SWIM A LOT
Sixteen, Instead of , Ten Dips, Possi
ble in the High School
Pool
Miss Ina E. Glttings, director of
women's gymnasium, in charge of
swimming for University girls, has an
nounced that the girls holding tickets
marked for ten uwims may take addi
tional plunges during the following
days of this semester: November 9,
11, 1C, 18, 23. 25; December 7, 9, 14, 1G;
January 4, 6, 11, 13, 18, 20. Providing
the pool is not crowded, holders of
tickets may come the sixteen times.
Swimming for girls in the high
school pool on Thursday evenings, 7:30
to 9:30. and Saturday mornings, 9:30
to 11:30, has met with better suc
cess this season than since this branch
of co-ed exercise was started. In
former years it has been difficult to
get a sufficient number of girls to en
gage a pool, but over 140 signed up for
tickets when a call was made for the
seventy necessary to insure: the pool.
During the last week there were
over a score of applications for tickets,
and it is likely that when all have
signed, there will be more than 150
co-eds who have signified their desire
to swim.

COREY BEATS AMES BY
FIELD GOAL-SCORE: 3 TO 0
NEBRASKA TAKES ANOTHER STEP
TOWARD VALLEY TITLE
Aggies a Powerful Team Coach Stew
art's Proteges Weak on the
Offensive
Nebraska eliminated Ames from the
race for the Missouri Valley confer
ence title, Saturday, when the Corn-
huskers squeezed through a 3 to 0
victory over the Iowa Farmers.
The game was exceedingly dull from
start to finish. It early became a
punting duel between Dobson for Ne
braska and Sloss for Ames. The
honors were about even, with the Ne
braskans having the edge, on actual
distance gained.
The stellar performers for Nebraska
were Caley, Dobson, Cook and Corey,
Corey draws the honor of scoring the
only points of the day when he booted
a neat field goal from the fifteen-yard
line.
Caley, the pep peddler, was on the
job as usual, with his short end runs
and forward passes. Dobson played a
fine plunging game in addition to his
punting, which was one great factor
in the Nebraska victory. Cook pulled
off several good thrillers during the
short time he was in. It was due to
a seventeen-yard run by John that
Captain Corey's score was possible.
Shaw showed up well on defense, al
though injured quite often.
Ames Stars
Sloss and Aldrich were the Ames
stars, although Packer, the big end,
played a fine defensive game. Sloss
did most of the heavy work, Includ
ing passing and punting. The entire
Ames line showed more fight than the
forwards of Nebraska could exhibit.
Scouts who hoped to see what Ne
braska had in the line of forward
passes and trick plays, were doomed
to deep disappointment. Three scouts
were at the game, each representing
one of the teams. Kansas, Iowa and
Notre Dame, which the Cornhuskers
have yet to play. "Beau" Olcott, the
Kansas head coach, Howard Jones, as
sistant Iowa coach, and Frank Rockne,
a Notre Dame assistant, were the
three scouts present.
First Quarter
The first quarter opened with Ne
braska receiving the kickoff. The
Cornhuskers failed to gain and Dob
son punted. Ames was forced to punt
and Nebraska followed suit on the
fourth down. Dobson took a healthy
swipe at the ball and it sailed, a beau
tiful spiral, for 70 yards. It was one
of the longest and prettiest kicks seen
on Nebraska field for years.
After Ames punted twice and Ne
braska returned the compliment, the
Iowans pulled a beautiful forward pass
which wab good for at least 20 yards.
The quarter ended after Dobson
punted. Ames had clearly outplayed
Nebrnpfca during this quarter.

I vote NO, against the Amendment.
Second Quarter
The second quarter opened with one
of the queerest plays ever witnessed
on a gridiron. Ames fumbled on the
second play. Kositzky fell on the ball
and after lying there a moment de
cided he would rather run. As Ames
was perfectly willing he set out for
the goal with no one in his road.
Suddenly the ball became too slip
pery or heavy and he dropped it. An
Ames man then accidentally booted
the ball back, in the direction from
which it came, into the arms of Ben
Dale, who rolled over on it and
clutched It tightly.
Nebraska had recovered an Ames
fumble and gained about ten yards
when the smoke had finally cleared
away.
The play during this half was en
tirely in favor of Nebraska. Riddell
intercepted an Ames pass and re
turned twenty yards. A perfectly ex
ecuted pass from Riddell to Corey net
ted a twenty-five-yard gain just before
the half ended.
Second Half
The second half started off in a
blaze of glory for the Cornhuskers.
Moser recovered ah Ames fumble and
on the next play, Cook, who had taken
Caley's place, made seventen yards on
a tackle buck.
Nebraska gained four yards in the
next three downs. Captain Corey
then dropped back to the fifteen-yard
line and booted a perfect field goal.
Ames perked up after this score and
showed the Cornhuskers up for a
while. They were soon quieted, how
ever, and the punting duel proceeded
to the end of the quarter.
Fourth Quarter
The fourth quarter was mostly Ne
braska's. Tho Farmers failing to
make first down at any time . The
features of the Nebraska attack were
an eighteen-yard sprint by Caley and
two passes from Corey to Otoupalik,
which netted a total of fifteen yards. .
A great disappointment was ex
pressed by many rooters as to the out
come of the game. But with cheering,
such as has been exhibited so far this
year no team must be expected to win,
and unless the spirit of the bleacher-
ites makes a great change in the next
two weeks, Nebraskans are liable to
come to grief before the season is
over.
