KIVK CENTS THE COPT GOOD PROGRESS IN TICKET SALE Studenti Must Invest Four Dol lars Before Close of Bar. gain Campaign Hardest Games on Schedule Will Be Fought On Local Field The members of the Black Masque, innocents and the "N" club In their campaign to sell 2,000 foot ball tick ets have accomplished wonders the line of salesmanship. The pur chaBe of season tickets although large has not come up to the expectations of the solicitors. Reports from t campaign leaders say that a concen trated effort on the part of all the workers must be made to Bell more pasteboards before the end of tne week If the 2,000 goal Is to reached. Ticket Balesmen say that they have sold only to the dyed-in-the-wool Cora huskers and that the majority of the student body has evidently avoided the canvassers. The report Is pro bably a gloom story and must Considered lightly. Never before has a football ticket bargain at NebraasKa failed to go oevr the top. The cam paign will not fall through providing every loyal student reaches ino his jeans for four hard dollars. These four dollars will admit the bearer to four of the best games on the schedule. Furthermore the 8tu dents will have the privilege of se curing the bes't seats without reser vation. Two thousand husky voices from the student section should ma teriallv assist the players in over coming the opponents. Every stu dent at the University of Nebraska who has not yet secured his or her ticket should not hold back th de sired money. School spirit should prompt him to take the initiative and by so doing help sell the quota.

In closing, me dean pointed out the especially fine outlook for engineers in the present day. Chairman . W. Chase of The agri cultural and mechanical engineering departments,, gave an interesting talk.

This tribute will be paid the fallen heroes of the local institution at every contest staged here this fall.

Every tY.nhuKker rooter can't go to Iowa, hu' they ran rattle the Armory with son), of the steam that would be exhausted if (he battle were on the home field. The k-. n-ew nails tonight mto unexplored, troubled waters. Satur day's oontiiu will be a vital test for both the squads of Coaches Schulte and Jones. Both football machine open the season with this clash. Many claims of strength have issued from both camps nd the resulti will show of what stuff the teams are made. The team will be on display at the Armory tonisht, so will the cadet band. The latter organization is paying its own expenses for the trip and will give a few samples of patri otic stock which they will rendei at Iowa City. Short Scrimmage Yesterday Mud on the athletic field Wednes day made practice rather slow. For about thirty minutes the varsity were turned loose on the freshmen and pushed over two touchdowns in that period. The first year men were powerless against the attacks of the backfield, and melted before the smashes of husky Dale at fullback. Stanley Henry showed his speea at half and skirted the ends for long gains. The freshmen were bewild ered by several new tricks whtcn have been added to the varsity rep etoire. The freshmen didn't get a chance torun the ball very often and had ab solutely no luck in piercing the lmo. Forward passes proved more success ful and several were completed in spite of frantic efforts on the purl of the varsity men to prevent it. No Definite Lineup The varsity lineup used by Coach Schulte in last night's workout in cluded: Swanson and Cypreanson, ends; Hubka and Wilder, tackles; Wade Munn and Young, guards; Monte Munn, center; Dobson and Henry, halves; Newman, quarter; and Dale at fullback. Martin and Perry did most of the ground gaining for the freshmen. Coach Schulte has not yet an nounced definitely what the lineup for the Iowa frame will be, or who will make the trip. The announce ment will probably be made some time today as the squad leaves for Iowa City at. 10:30 p. m. There are thirty-five or forty candidates for the varsfty ar.d it is no small task to pick a prize crew from the bunch. Latest if ports from the Hawkeye ville inlicxte that the bugs over there are still r.mfirfnt that the Huskers will be drubbed. The general feel ing arcuni these parts seems to be that the lowsns ont have such an easv time sit'heiins in the money as they think. Members .f the university faculty, while gem-rally denouncing the pres ent system of bulletin boards ex press some difference of opinion in regard to the j.roper method of re placing tbtm in making announce ments. The need for uniform ana mnro riiPTiifin.l nnsters is emphasized by those who have talked about the matter. Some are inclined to favor the plan of having a printed program tn he ntar-ed on every aiiapus bull etin board while others believe that organizations who wish to make an nouncements should be restricted merely to a poster of uniform size. Professor Virtue thinks that botn from the point of view of fairness and of art, the system of uniform bul letin boards is an excellent idea. It is his opinion that bulletin boards are for announcementts only and thai too frequently this fact is lost sight of and advertisements displayed. om.. f Harvard's beSt-kBOWTl almni returned to Cambridge as school tah7iKriri fnr ti divisional chair- men in the campaign for a new 1 10 OOG.C'OO endowment fund for the university. i 1
