WESLEYAN HAS THOUSAND SEATS FOR OPENING GAME Nebraskans Have Only Two Hun dred Fifty No Season Tickets After Noon Tomorrow One thousand seats have been re served for Wesleyan students, for Saturday's game, at the request of the Methorist school authorities. This ks taken by Coach Stewart and T. A. Williams to mean that all of Wesleyan and a good part of University Place will be at the game Saturday. If past performances are to be taken as in dicating what will happen this time, each and every one of the rooters for the Coyote eleven will have a pair of leather lungs which he will not be afraid to use. To date about 250 student season tickets have been sold to the Nebras ka University students, which means that unless a big rush is made on the student activities office today, there will be only a handful of Cornhusker supporters at Saturday's game. No season tickets will be sold at the gate at any time during the season and they will not be sold at all on Saturday afternoon. Officials cannot understand why students are so slow in obtaining their tickets when all it taTtes is the trouble to walk to the student activities office and hand over the money. Arrangements have been made this year to have the men's and women's cheering sections adjoining each other on the south side of the field. "Dat ing" for football games will be seri ously frowned on and it is probable that any man sitting in the girls sec tion will be made slightly uncomfort able if found by his friends in the men's section. MANY WOMEN REGISTER IN COMMERCE COURSES The total registration of women in the department of economics and commerce is double that of the first semester last year. There has been an increase of from 77 to 146. The increase is do mainly to gains in the Shaw Will Open Husker's Big Schedule Tomorrow Captain Edson Shaw will officially open the hardest schedule mat a Cornhusker team has ever faced when he calls the coin for goal choice on Nebraska field tomorrow. Shaw is another one of the long string of tackles that have led Ne- Krcvn football teams. There have been many great players and popular men on Cornhusker teams playing me tackle position, but going back over 'i f them there is rot one that was better liked or more respected by his toom mates than is Shaw. ir, the oorlv practices of the sea son Shaw has been working as hard f the hie irames were In progress sveshmen complain of the fierce way in which he tackles and blocks, but the first nne of them has yet to say that he has seen Shaw do the least bit unnecessary rough work in the scrimmage. It is certain, from the early pace the captain has set that -hen the curtain has rung down on the season, the records will show the Captain Shaw of Nebrasna nas dui few superiors, if any at his position, in the country. I - v V' I ; : .. f " 1 ! 1 p i k Um"11' wirni tMma ii classes of commercial geography, ac counting, principles of economics, and in the business "courses for women. The heads of the department attribute this extraordinary increase to the great interest women are taking at the present time in business occupa tions which have been left vacant by the men Joining the army. Anna Merritt East, '12, formerly of Fremont, now of Phila i 'phia, Pa., is visiting alumni headquarters. Ruth Irvine, '18, and Katrina Helzer, '18, will spend Saturday and Sunday in Omaha attending the Ak-sar-ben. Kathryne Howey, '19, Beatric e John son, '20, Dorothy Sollman, '21, Agnes Johnson, '21, Orville Ellerbrock, '20, Fred Seacrest, '21, Robert Moodes, '19, and Merril Williams, '19, drove to Omaha Wednesday to attend the Ak- sar-ben. Izetta Burnard, "19, will spend Sat urday and Sunday at her home in York. FIVE HUNDRED GIRLS AT FOOTBALL RALLY THURSDAY Most Successful Meeting Held Husker Warriors Know They Have Support "We want to say to the athletic board and to the football team that we're with them." Prof. Sarka Hrb vnvn head of the department of in lfl-ne-iiaees. expressed the sentiment, of the girls' football raiiy at Convocation yesterday morning. The rally was a most successful . t XT one. Practically every seai "im mortal hall was filled. Yells were given and songs were sung. The speakers included Dean Amanaa Member. T. A. Williams. Coach E. J. Stewart. Mrs. J. B. Lees and rroi. sarin Hrhkova. CaDt. E. A. Shaw was unable to be there to tell of the team. The Valkyries, senior women's or ganization, had charge of the arrange ments. Blanche HIggins, 'is, pre sided. When one has a chance to tackle football, one should guard all Quar ters and halves until one has the nec essary 54," Professor Hrbkova coached the girls. "Retrenchment should be as familiar to us here as the trenches are at the front," she continued. "Last year's dresses should be made fashionable. And the money saved in these various ways should go to war relief of some sort. Professor Hrbkova told of meeting a Nebraska man at Fort Snelling who said: "Some of us fellows get to gether sometimes and wonder at the frivolity of life down there." His criticism applied, she said to only a small part of the University lite, nut it was a true criticism. "I saw some University women standing downtown waiting for a car one day," Professor Hrbkova said, 'with cosmetics on their faces -worth enough money to feed a Belgium fam ily at least one meal. It is time for us to face the situation squarely," she emphasized. "We must realize that the United States is fighting for us, and that we must show the right sort of patriotism." T. truly think," she concluded, 'that the girls- shouW deny themselves bright colored sweaters. The wool should not be used when it is needed for the army and navy." Dean Heppner advised social mod eration. "True college spirit means assidious devotion to academic work. intensive interest and activity in the support of college activities, and loyalty and support of war relief work," she said. T. A. Williams explained the re served section for girls. "The stu dents will get the best there is," he said,, " We want women over tlere with the rooters. We have got to get back of that team of Dr. Stewart's." "The war is going to be a real bene factor to athletics," Coach Stewart emphasized. "In the future there will be no question in the minds of some people whether athletics is a desirable course or a necessary evil. Everyone is going to realize its im portance. Good football players make the best kind of soldiers." Coach Stewart asked the girls to go to the games together and not have "dates" for them. He also urged them to get out to daily practice. "The Nebraska W. A. A. will make its initial bow to society Saturday," Mrs. Lee said. The association will serve hamburgers. "We are follow ing out conservation, too," she said. "You all know there is nothing more meatless than a hamburrer. HUSKERS START 1917 SCHEDULE T0MM0R0W Streak of Hard Luck Comes to Team Upon Eve of Opening Battle of Season BACKFIELD IS HIT HARDEST By Dwight P. Thomas With a hard battle to look forward to with the Wesleyan warriors Satur day, the Cornhuskers staged the poor est practice of the year on Nebraska -field yesterday afternoon. They muft'ed forward passes they fumbled the ball and they failed to stop the freshmen backs. The light but speedy first year men slipped from the grasps of the varsity tacklers and made gain after gain that have been denied tnem in the earlier practices of ,tne season. Whether it was a bad attack of stage fright on the eve .of the game that will in nart tell whether or not Nebraska is to have a strong team this year, or whether it was some other dread rvmindv is not certain. It is certain that there was something seriously the matter. And it was not apparent to the coach and fans but to the players as well, who were all more or less discouraged. Jinx Still Present There have been many discouraging things happening in the Nebraska camp In the past few days. First Stanley Henry was called in tne draft, then several important back- field men received injuries and Wednesday Ted Riddell was put out of the game for some time with a wrenched knee and yesterday tne an nouncement came that Owen Frank, assistant coach, was to leave last eve ning for his home to report for army service in the draft. For a few days it looked as if Day would have to be shifted from center to the backfield to make four men behind the line as all but three of the men who have bjeen playing back there regularly were injured. Otoupa lik and McMahon have not been in a scrimmage this week and Kellogg has been out for several days with a sore shoulder. This left Cook, Dobson and Schellenberg for the backfield in the game Saturday. Kellogg and Otoupa lik were-in the scrimmage for awhile last night, however, and will probably get Into a part of the game Saturday. Coach Stewart has announced den nitely, however, that McMahon will not play. Line Prospects Brighter In the line the prospects are much brighter as all but Riddel are In good shape. Hubka, a husky sophomore will fill Ted's place for this game. He has beer showing up in fine style at the pra, ce bouts since the season opened and may be counted on to give a good account of himself. Wesleyan is coming to the game Saturday with the sole intent ot scor ing on 1 the Cornhuskers. It doesn't matter to the Methodists how high the score mounts in favor of the Corn huskers, they will count in it a suc cessful season if they can but cross the Nebraska goal. Although the pos sibility of the Coyote's scoring may seem remote, it is not so. Coach Kline has developed a speedy, fighting team out of the best bunch of raw material the University Place school has ever had and the Nebraskans are in for a real battle. The Line-Up The Cornhusker line-up for the first game of the season will look some thing like this: Rhodes, left end; Munn or DuTeau, left tackle; Kositzky. left guard; Day, center; Wilder, right guard; Shaw, right tackle; Hubka, right end; Schel lenberg or Cook, quarter; Kellogg, left half; Octoupalik, right half; Dobson, fulback. By shifting L. Shaw to center. Day can be made available fbr the back field. The other members of the var sity squad. Young, Teter, Triplett, Kriemelmeyer and Heller will prob ably get into the game in line posi tions. NEBRASKAN FREE TO UNIVERSITY SOLDIERS Believing that Nebraska men actively engaged in the war are just as anxious for news from the campus as their former classmates are for word from them, the man agement of The Nebraskan will send the paper iree of charge to every Cornhusker soldier whose address is known. You can help by sending lists of addresses to The Nebraskan, either mailing them to Station A or telephoning them to the business office, B-2597.
