Hardest Games on Schedule Will

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.

ENGINEERS RECEIVE
SOME GOOD ADVICE
Faculty Members Urge Value of
System and Every Day
Study
First Meeting of Engineering So
ciety Blue Print Plans
Discussed
The first regular meeting of the
Engineering society was held last
evening in the Mechanical Engineer
ing building. President R. E. Walker
had charge of the meeting, and
opened with a short outline of the
work of the society in connection
with the engineering Btudents' wel
fare and instruction. He then called
upon Harry Hubbel, editor of the
Blue Print, for a few remarks regard
ing the coming issues of the univer
sity engineering magazine. '
According to the usual custom ot
the society, the first meeting was
mainly devoted to talks to the fresh
men by members of the engineering
faculty. Dean Stout delivered the
first talk. The main keynote of his
discussion was, in his own words,
"Have yourself well in hand." He
urged the value of system in school
work and activities, and emphasized
the necessity of early decision as to
a particular line of specialization.
He quoted several accepted defini
tions of engineering, touching upon
the breadth and variety of the pro
fession as a whole. 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. He advised the freshmen, and
upperclassmen as well, to "make a
survey" of the work in hand to see
what they are working for. He ad
vised the students to do each day's
work as it comes, and to mingle yi
all the activities they could find time
for.
Do Each Day's Work
Prof. G. R. Chatburn also empha
sized the importance of getting
"Every subject every day," and gave
an interesting history of American
engineering and engineering schools.
Interesting talks were given y
Professors Ferguson, SJoren, Hollls
ter, Slaymaker, Haney, Edison and
Davis. Almost every one of the
speakers included in their tViks an
invitation to the students to "get

Tonight is the night of nights! The big IVp Tarty to
send the team to Iowa holds forth in the nrmory. Bring all
your friends and fill the seats and standing room.
Cheers for Nebraska and a winning team will make the
rafters of the Armory eeho and re-echo. Nebraska's cadet
band is booked to furnish some real pep, and every true
Ilusker should he out
The team will he on the platform where all may see the
men who are to battle with the Ilawkeyes on Saturday, and
where they may view the students who are hacking them
with a vim. Nebraska must win the game, and the students
must turn out 100 per cent strong to give the team a record
send-off before they entrain for Iowa City tonight.
Seven-thirty in the Armory! That is the time when old
I'-l'-l'-ii-i will begin to swell forth from the throats of hun
dreds of rooters. The cheer-leaders of last year, together
with new men who are trying out for the position, will be
on hand to keep the pep going This monster rally is no place
for silence. Every student should be there to yell our team
to victory. Come on now, lets go! Everybody up on number
one. and show them what we can do!
NOTRE DAME FANS WILL
PAY TRIBUTE TO HEROES
Blue and Gold Gridders Prepare
For First Game Behind
Sealed Gates
NOTRE DAME, Ind., Sept. 30.
An innovation absolutely unique, as
far as can be ascertained, will be
introduced at the Notre Dame-Kala-mazoo
game here Saturday. For one
minute preceding the kickoff Cartier
field will be wrapped in silence in
honor of the Notre Dame men who
gave their lives on European battle
fields. This tribute will be paid the
fallen heroes of the local institution
at every contest staged here this fall.
Head Coach Rockne Is anticipating
lively opposition from Kalamazoo
college in the inaugural tilt of me
season. The invaders won the col
lege championship of Michigan in
1917 and many of the members who
composed that stellar aggregation are
performing with the 1919 eleven.
Mold Secret Practice
Behind sealed gates the Gold and
Blue gridders dashed up and down
Cartier field today rehearsing t
blouseful of new plays with which
they hope to bewilder their oppon
ents Saturday. Journalistic legates
were the only spectators of today s
activities and the same menu will be
served for the balance of the week.
Captain Bahan donned the mole
skins Tuesday after a few days'
siesta and piloted the first string
men through signal practice. His
co-laborers in the backfield were
"Dutch" Bergman, who has 8pui
several days unraveling a badly dis
torted rib, George Gipp, influenza
convalescent and Cy Kasper. This
combination worked together flaw
lessly and will probably start tfte
game against Kalamazoo.

MILITARY COURTESY
TAUGHT TO CADETS
Colonel Morrison tnd Major
Hauser Explain Fundamentals
of Military Efficiency
The chapel and Temple crowded
Tuesday evening by the R. O. T. C.
Cadets who received lectures on mili
tary courtesy and discipline by Col.
Morrison and Major J. N. Hauser. Be
ginning with the organization of the
army into its smaller integral parts,
the instructors gave data on the siz
es, equipage and command of the
larger units. The value of discipline
and the means of procuring discipline
were also discussed. The salute, its
purpose and Its value in enforcing
discipline was given a lengthy analy
sis. The first duty of a soldier Is
obedience and that is obtainable pri
marily through the salute.
Major Hauser was recently trans
ferred to the University from Colum
bia University where he was an in
structor over the R. O. T. C. unit.

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.
