FOR TEAM TONIGHT
Torches for Big Parade Dis
tributed This Afternoon
OLD CORNHUSKERS THERE
Short Mass Meeting In Armory at
7 O'clock With Pep Talk to
Start Thlnflt
Between 1.500 and 2,000 Cornhusk
ers, according to conservative esti
mates will take part in the rally and
parade tonight which will accomplish
the defeat of Notre Dame. At 7:00
sharps, soon after dusk has fallen,
students will fill the chapel for a very
short mass meeting which will be
featured by the presence of a num
ber of old Cornhuskers who have come
back to watch Nebraska whip the
Catholics. Following the rally the
crowd will march through the busi
ness section in a torchlight parade,
winding up at the Lincoln hotel, where
It will serenade the Notre Dame
squad.
One thousand torches have been se
cured for the parade. They will be
distributed this afternoon, beginning
at 1 o'clock, at the east end of the
Armory. A quarter will be charged
for the torches when they are taken
out, but this -will be refunded when
they are turned in following the
parade. It will avoid confusion if the
torches are obtained early in the af
ternoon. The route which the parade will
take will be from the Armory south to
R street, east on R to Sixteenth, down
Sixteenth to O, down O to Ninth, up
Ninth to the Lincoln hotel, and from
there back to the campus by Tenth
street.
The Marching Order
Following is the marching order:
The Cadet band.
Girls, marching four abreast seniors
first, Juniors next, and so on.
Men marching two abreast.
The Black Masque. Benior girl's
honorary society in charge of the co
ed section of the parade, has asked
that every girl who can wear a white
skirt and red or white sweater, do so,
although this of course Is a matter of
choice.
Although the definite announcement
has not been made, it is possible that
the faculty speaker on the rally pro
gram tonight will also lead the parade.
It is said that he has never headed a
parade that was not followed by a
Cornhusker victory the next after
noon. The proposed leader of the
parade Is Prof. H. W. Caldwell of the
American history department, one of
the most enthusiastic football rooters
among the faculty, whom he will rep
resent on the rally program.
It is not very often that Nebraska
girls, although they are as staunch
Cornhuskers as can be found, have the
chance to say what they think about
the team and tell how much they want
it to win. Jean Burroughs, however,
will do this at tonight's mass meeting.
Old Cornhuskers to Be Out
Besides the talks by Captain Shaw
and Coach Stewart, without which a
football rally would not be complete,
several old Cornhuskers who have
set our hearts tingling in former days
by their performances on Nebraska
field will be called upon for impromp
tu talks. Captain H. H. "Tim" Corey
of the national army, and leader of
last year's team, is expected here in
time for the rally, but may not come
until late Friday night. Leonard Pur
dy, captain of the 1913 Cornhuskers;
the great fighting team that defeated
Minnesota, will probably.be present

UNIVERSITY MEN TO HELP
WITH LIBERTY BOND SALE
Lincoln Commercial Club Asks
for 200 to Aid in Big Drive
on Official Day
The committee of the Lincoln Com
mercial club which is in charge of the
liberty bond campaign has Jssued a
call for 200 or more University men
to act as bond salesmen. The city
has been divided into districts and
groups of solicitors so arranged that
the entire city may be thoroughly can
vassed in one day. The drive is to
take place next Wednesday, which has
been declared Liberty Bond Day by
President Wilson.
The committee needs the services of
200 students. The fraternities, through
the Inter - fraternity council, has
pledged themselves to furnish 100
men. There is. need for 100 more.
Any University man who can and will,
may serve his country by volunteering
his efforts for that day. All men who
wish to give their time to help to
make the campaign a success may
leave their names with Prof. R. D.
Srott, or at The Daily Nebraskan of
fire as soon as possible.
Sarah Cole, '17, from Omaha will
visit the latter part of the week at
the Gamma Phi Beta house.
Myra Butz will spend the end of the
week at the Kappa Kappa Gamma
house.
Mrs. T. Nielsen is visiting her
daughter, Emma, at the Kappa Kappa
Gamma house a few days this week.
Janet Teagarden, '21, and Irma
Stephens, '20, will leave for Omaha
Friday. They intend to drive back
with Betty Gould, ex-'20, for the game
Saturday.
Mr. and Mrs. B. W. Schulte of Elgin,
Neb., visited their daughter, Clara,
Wednesday.
Emma Beard, '16, will visit Saturday
at the Achoth house.

Nebraska Men at Camp Dodge Enjoy Steady
Camp Dodge, Iowa, Oct. 16, 1917.
Almost seven weeks of Camp Dodge
life has now been added to the mili
tary experience of the University of
Nebraska men serving as officers in
the cantonment here. During the
first week or so the officers in camp
outnumbered the enlisted men and
the following verses by some humor
ist from Camp Funston were very
much apropos here:
"There's only one private to fifty
fr Ark
With leather puttees on their
chins'
These fancy kid officer students, you
know,
That wear a strap under their
chins.
An I can't take a hike to the nearest
exchange
To get me some camels or stuff
Without flipping me mitt till there's
no feelin' in it '
Which is tough darlin' Mickey, it s
tough!
"I don't mind salutin' me betters,
o'course,
The pretty young things I adore
'em!
But every lootenant they got on tne
force
Is anxious to see us perform
They march back an forth so's to
get in me way
An' narry a one kin I muff
An the odds Is too raw for a guy
with one paw
Ob, It's tough darlin' Mickey, it's
tough."
PLAN UNIVERSITY PARTY
FOR NOVEMBER THIRD
Mixer Committee Decides to
Close Date for Hallowe'en
Event
The All-Unf .ersity party committee
decided last night to close the date of
November 3 for a big Hallow'een
party to be held at the Armory. The
committee to take charge of the pro
gram, entertainment and dance will
be announced next week.
There was some agitation for hav
ing the party at the City Auditorium,
but because of he extra charge there
and the sentiment favoring lampus
parties this year, it was thought to
be more in keeping with the general
spirit to remain in the Armory. It is
probable that one of the mixers later
in the year will be held at the Audi
torium. No All-University party is to be
scheduled for Home-coming night, as
it was the opinion that a large number
of organizations would make other
plans for entertaining old members
who would be back.
ASSOCIATION GIRLS TO
MEET WEDNESDAY EVENING
An association girls meeting fr all
members of Y. W. C. A. will be held
in the Y. W. C. A. rooms Wednesday
evening, October 24 at 7 o'clock. Bus
iness matters in connection with the
visit of Miss Conde and policies for
the association work for the year will
be discussed.
A. S. M. E. Meeting
The A. S. M. E. held a social meet
ing last night, with music, talks by
members of the society, and game?
W. L. Miller was in charge.

Now, however, with 25,000 enlisted
men in camp, even a second "looten
ant" is not to be sneezed at and a
captain is quite a celebrity. When
the full 45,000 allotted to this camp
are here we shall be living in quite
a city, a city of khaki, pine boards,
and dust.
Work Is On in Ernest
The work of training Uncle Sam's
army for over-sea's service is on In
earnesL Eight hours of drill a day
excepting Wednesday and Saturday
afternoons and Sundays has been the
schedule for the enlisted man up to
this time. In addition, on four eve
nings a week one hour is devoted to
non-commissioned officers' school and
one to school for officers. Up to this
time the work has all been close or
der drill, guard duty, and calisthen
ics. The men are nearly all new
to military service and military dis
cipline must be acquired through
close order drill.
There Is almost unanimous satis
faction over the quality and morals
of the men. The discharges for phys
ical disability have been very few
and have nearly all been due to
mistakes of local examining boards.
The ability of the men to grasp the
work is everywhere commented on
by the regular army officers and
there is no question but that the
average of the selective draft men
is greatly above that of the old
regular army men in ability. The
diversity In previous occupation and
training of the men is esecially no
State Farm Guests. Saturday will
be University day for the South Oma
ha stock yards, when about 150 ate
expected to be at the State Farm.
The crowd includes the commission
merchants and their office help.
They will dine at the Farm cafeteria
during which time speeches will be
given by different men and also the
election of officers for next year. In
the afternoon they will enjoy a good
football game.
Mrs. George Morrison (Mable Sny
der) '14, from O'Neil, Neb., is visiting
in Lincoln.
Louise Wigenhorn, from Omaha,
will visit Mary Helen Allensworth Sat
urday and Sunday.
C. S. Holcombe, 16, who is now
the state Y. M. C. A. secretary, Is
visiting In Lincoln.
C. W. FAIRBANKS SPEAKS
FOR LIBERTY BOND SALE
Urges Large Convocation Au
dience to Give All Possible
to Country's Aid
Ex-Vice President Charles W. Fair
banks, who arrived in Lincoln yes
terday morning to help in the cam
paign for liberty bonds, was secured
by the convocation committee a half
hour before convocation yesterday
morning, to speak to University stu
dents. Dr. T. W. Jeffrey, pastor of
St. Paul Methodist church of Lincoln,
and Prof. J. E. Le Resslgnol, head of
the department of commerce, also
gave short talks about the bonds.
Prof. F. H. Grumman, of the depart
ment of Germanic literature, pre
sided. "That which brings the most satis
faction is unselfish service," Mr. Fair
banks said. "Such service stimulates
our manhood and womenhood. The
government has money only when
the people furnish it. If we have
money to take only one bond, we
should take it. We will be serving
our government and at the same
time serving ourselves. We owe all
alleglence possible to the govern
nifint." "It is essential that our govern
ment be furnished the money it needs
to carry on the war. New questions
coming up, new problems arising,
looming large on the horizon, ques
tions which must be solved. It will
take the best intellects of the coun
try to sodve these problems. Severe
conditions are confronting the world
have confronted it since the world
began. It is well that you are pre
paring yourselves for the difficulties
that will confront you."
"The great trouble with serious
questions like the liberty bond cam
paign," Mr. Fairbanks said, "is we
forget our relations to them. There
are many of us who do not perceive
their relation to the present war.
Who is doing the fighting? Not
alone the men at the front, but

table. There is little trouble for the
comanies to find trained mechanics,
'cooks, and clerks to serve the needs
of the new army in these lines. In
our comany one of the comany
clerks is a Phi Beta Kappa honor
student, a graduate of the University
of Michigan. The cause for the
greatest satisfaction, however, is the
attitude which the men are taking
toward the work. True, a large part
of them asked for exemption before
coming, but now that they are here
the determination to do not only
their best is almost universal. There
are, of course, undesirables here as
everywhere, and instances of sullen
ness and insubordination occur occa
sionally but they are isolated cases.
The general tone is that of cheerful
determination to do the Job on hand
and do it well.
I have Just read, with a good deal
of interest, Mr. Grimes' letter from
Fort Snelling in The Daily Ne
braskan for Octbber 11. I think
what he says in regard to the moral
effect of military training on stu
dent officers applies In a large meas
ure to the enlisted men as well.
We have been prone, I think, to
put more blame on army life than
has been it due. The man of this
army who dissipates while in the
service has, in nine cases out of ten
acquired his habits of dissipattion
before he acquired his uniform and
the chief difference is that his uni
form makes those habits more con-

HUSKERS HAVE LAST
LIGHT WORKOUT
Snappy Signal Drill Primes
Team for Notre Dame
RIDDELL TO BE IN LINE-UP
McMahon Still a Doubtful Possession
Schellenberg ahd Dobson Have
Slight Injuries
Following the example set before
the Iowa game last week Coach Stew
art refused to risk his charges in a
scrimmage last evening and let them
off with a stiff signal practice pre
ceded by sessions of sprinting, tack
ling and blocking. The cold weather
made the practice one of the snappi
est of the season.
The line was practically intact last
nght as it will appear in the Notre
Dame game. Hubka the youngster
who has been playing end in the first
two games did not show up in uni
form, being kept out of practice by
an Infected foot. He will probably
play left tackle against the Catho
lics as Ted Riddell will undoubtedly
be at his old place beside Captain
Shaw. The news that Riddell will
again be in the game has heped Corn
husker stock to mount. It was Ted
and Shaw who worked havoc with the
Notre Dame line last year, stopping
all plays coming their way and spill
ing many others before they were
fairly started.
It was an evident fact last season
that no tackle and end in Nebraska
history could equal in effectiveness
the playing of Riddell and Shaw when
both of them were in the game at the
same time. The two occupied adjoin
ing berths on the Freshman team dur
ing their first year in school and have
played beside each other on the
varsity. Fans are hoping that both
of them will be in good enough shape
the rest of the season to take part in
every game.
McMahon Probably In
McMahon is still a doubtful posses
sion. He has to pass but one more
examination and then he will be ready
to tear into the Catholics and when
he does, if Mac's curly, black, Irish
hair means anything the Hoosiers will
find themselves with a regular Job
on their hands. McMahon has passed
two examinations this week in mathe
matics and will take one in physical
education today.
The other members of the backfield
are in good condition, with the ex
ception of Schellenberg and Dobson.
Schellenberg received an injury in the
groin early in the season and it has
failed to yield to treatment. Dobson
has a charley-horse whcih interferes
with his kicking. Kellogg, Otoupalik
and Cook will be ready to go at the
Hoosiers in as good physical condition
as can be expected.
The Lineup
Following are the probable lineups
of the two teams in tomorrow's game:
Nebraska Notre Dame
Rhodes le Hayes
Hubka, Munn and
DuTeau It Maguire
Wilder lg Andrews

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 free 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.
