NEBRASKAN WILL BE SURPRISE TO SOLDIER The following letter received yester day from one of the University's sol diers indicates that he does not be lieve that the Hag" will follow him "Over There."

'81, appeared recently in the University Journal under the heading of "Our New Battle Hymn," but the author prefers the title "Nebraska's Pledge." NEBRASKA'S PLEDGE Serried ranks of young Nebraskans heard our leader's mighty call, To oppose the common foeman they have pledged to give their all. They will stand against his legions like an adamantine wall For that they're marching on. College-halls and marts forsaking, leaving shop and mill and field. . Nobly they are marching onward, the avenging sword to wield; Never shall that sword be sheathed till to Justice Might shall yield For that they're marching on Their', tho armor of high purpose, thelr'a the shield of Truth and Right. Their'a the will for high endeavor, to destroy the despot's might. To destroy the reign of darkness, to bring la the reign of light For that they're marching on. We at home, in old Nebraska, ever at their aide shall be. Loving, yearning, helping, tolling, while they are across the sea. Here's our pledge: We will be with them In their task to set men free We, too, are marching on. 1 Prance on its mailing list and more are being addod dally.

TO PICK WRESTLERS FOR MIES MEET Ooach Otoupalik Will Line Up Candidates in Elimination Matches Saturday With the lrst dual wrestling meet only a week away Coach Otoupalik will line up his varsity candidates Saturday afternoon In an attempt to Dick the most likely "rough-em-up" artists to go against Ames next Fri day. The combats will commence about 2 o'clock with a match between two candidates in the 125-pound class. Then In order will follow elimination bouts in each of the divisions, 135 pounds, 145 pounds, 158 pounds and 175 pounds and heavyweight. Otoupalik will have a targe task on his hand as an entirely new team has to be developed for the meets this year. Every letter man of last year is out of. school this year and will have to be replaced by an Inexperi enced candidate. No done can be obtained as yet aa to the final composition of the team that will go against the Ames Farm ers. Several new men have shown exceptional promise and should be able to hold their own in any class. Foremost among these is Munn, the 225- Dound husky who usually has his own way in practice bouts in the Armory. In the other classes there is little to choose between the various candidates. Senior Women Should Select Little Sisters Senior women who have not yet chosen their "little slater" are re quested by the iean of women to pro vide for this matter immediately. Those who delay in doing this are with holding the clans as originally adopted and they should see to it at once that they do their part In the promotion of the "little sister" organization, ah those interested may see Dean Hepp- ner at her office In the Administration building.

No storms will threaten to mar its pleas ures morning, noon or night. The birds will sing their sweetest carols. And flowers will bloom that never lose their fragrance, the richness of whos colors never fades. No beasta of prey will be in wait in the jungle or the thicket of the forest to leap upon the unwary traveler or terrify the timid. Disease and death will be abolished, and pain and trouble will all disappear. There will be in the heart of man no more sin nor avarice, no more sorrow nor disappointment, no more selfish carelessness, no more thoughtless cruelty.- Everyone will have in mind his brother and all will dwell in per fect peace together. Then will every one remember to do the things that ought to be done and leave undone the things that ought to be left undone. Then will everyone be kind and thoughtful of his neighbor. Then will everyone break away from the life-long habits of sin that have hitherto bound him and become a just and righteous man in all his dealings. Then will everyone be his best There will be no more evil thinking, no more Idle slander, no more lawless iving. Lust and greed will be no more. Then will everyone turn and make his peace with God. and live forever after in the full light of His love, and serve him In spirit and in trutk. Then in IUSKERS FOR DODGE BUTTLE Scene for Tonight? Game Re mains Undecided CAMP TEAM ALL - STARS Nebraska Ex. Captains On Rival Squad Charge Fifty Cents Admission The Camp Dodge basketball quintet comes to Lincoln today for a feature game against the Cornhusker squad. Arrangements are nearlng completion for the staging of tonight's game. Just where the game is to be held seems to be undecided aa yet but a definite announcement of the Bcene for the first battle will come from Doctor Stewart today. Whether the Armory, the Y. M. C. A. floor, or the Auditor ium shall be used is a thing to be decided upon this forenoon by the board. In any event the charges will probably remain the same and the pro vision regarding the validity of stu dent season tickets will still remain good. The team had the last scrimmage before the games yesterday afternoon. The workout was one of the stillest of the season, but the varsity showed up well, and gave promise of giving Dodge a hard scrap. The team is still badly crippled by a lack of men and it is not yet known just who will be in condition to enter the games. It is now thought that Hubka, Anthes, Kellogg and Schroeder will all be miss ing. If these men can not report, the team that will oppose the soldiers will be chosen from the following players: forwards, Jackson, Thomas, Gerhart, Strohmer and Eldredge; center, Phil lips; guards, Schellenberg, Adklns and Spear. The Freshmen will stage a prelim inary same with Doane tonight, and one with Cotner tomorrow night The first-year men have been playing strong consistently and are doped to win both games. The regular Fresh man squad is now composed of Beak ins of St Louis, captain, Patty of Omaha, Kacer of Wilbur, Neuman of Columbus, Howarth of West Point, Neb., Bailey of Hebron, Cosford of Beatrice, Ray of Seward, Taylor of Uni versity Place and Gillilan and Taylor, who was elected captain of the sec ond team. Students athletic tickets will admit to all the games. This fact la ex pected to bring out a large crowd that will fill the gymnasium to capac ity. Through a typographical error, the announcement was made in yes terday's Nebraskan that the admission for those not holding the regular sea son tickets, would be 15 cents. The admission will be 50 cents. All pro ceeds are to be donated to the ath letic fund, used for promoting ath letics xt Camp Dodge. (Continued on page two) Call Tomorrow! deed will be re-establihsed upon earth the ancient paradise, and all stains of sin will be utterly washed out and forgotten. Then will earth become a heaven and hell be done away. And when, do you ask, will these things come to pass? When will there come upon earth such a day? This is the day men call "Tomorrow.' These are but a few of the things that men have said would happen then. These are only some of the things that you have said that you would do "Tomorrow." And if all that men, since the beginning of time, have said that they would do "Tomorrow," If all of these were to be attempted in any day, that day woud rival all eternity in length. All the kindnesses that have been forgotten, all tha good deeds that have been neglected, all tha words of comfort that have been left unspoken, all the tokens of apprecia tion that have been left ungiven, all the wrongs that stand unrighted, all the sins that have not been cast out, all the promises that have been made and broken, all these will be made right upon that beautiful, wonderful, glorious day that men are wont to call "Tomorrow.' But all these plans can never reach their fulfillment all these promises must remain forever unkept all these good resolutions can never be realized, for men have left them all to do Tomorrow.' And "Tomorrow" is a day that never comes. C. E. S.
