need feel, therefore, that If he comes
alone that he will be out of place.
A lone freshman will have lots or
company.
Only Freshmen are to be admitted
to this party. If all freshmen come
they will more than fill the Armory.

TWO HUNDRED ANSWER
SCHISSLER'S APPEAL
FOR BASKET TOSSERS
Two hundred basket ball enthusi
asts gathered in the Armory last
night in response to the call Issued
by Coach Schlssler. Schissler ex
plained the workings of the proposed
system of inter-college basket ball.
Under the present plan nine college
teams will be in the running fo" the
championship of the university.
Inadequate gymnasium facilities
will prohibit every man from receiv
ing a fair chance for the varsity
basket ball squad. Only about
twenty-five picked athletes will con
stltute the Varsity string. It is for
the purpose of giving a chance to the
many others who intend to play that
the inter-college idea is being devel
oped. Each college team will be re
quired to obtain its own suits but
basket balls will be furnished by the
university. Floor space for practice
will be available at various times so
each team will have plenty of chance
for work-outs.
To Hold Tournament
The proposition of forming a
league of the colleges has been
abandoned and instead the season
will close with an elimination tourn
ament in which the college teams
will compete for final honors. Work
out will start at once and all teams
will be ready to go by the fifteenth
of December. The Varsity team will
open when Mornlngside meets the
Cornhuskers here the eighteenth and
nineteenth of December and four
inter-college games will be staged
as preliminaries at that time.
The following committees were
placed in charge of the respective
college teams, and meetings will be
called at once to organize and for
mulate plans for tryouts.
Laws: Pickett, Thompson, Adams.
rivil Engineers: Wertz, Nixon,
Weller.
Medics: Lees, Deering. Matson.
Art and Science: Taylor, Fitz
simmons.
unfitness Administration: Dana,
Spacht, Zook.

SCHULTE CALLS .
FOR TRACK MEN
Coach Declares Many Candidates
An Essential Foundation for
a Winning Team
Interclass Meet Saturday Will Be
An Opportunity for New
Men to Get Started
"Give me two hundred and fifty
track candidates, and I will develope
a wonderful 1920 track team at ttie
University of Nebraska," declared
Coach Schulte to two hundred track
aspirants at the Armory last night.
Schulte made this Btatement hi all
modesty and reticence, not claiming
ot be wizard coach or miracle man,
but a plain, honest, hard-worKer.
"Such Individual stars as McMahon,
Graf, and Finney cannot make a
great track team," said Schulte. "It
is the team that has five or six good
men for each event that wins the
most meet.'
The Cvcch called particular atten
tion to the fact that most Freshmen
are bacKwaru aooui turning uui,
afraid of the awkward showing they
will make. He pointed out a number
of famous track stars who were in
experienced, green novices when
they first appeared on the track.
When Captain McMahon first come
out he was considered hopeless but
now he is rated as one of the half
dozen best quarter milers in the en
tire nation. "I would like to see two
hundred Freshmen "dubs" out for
track this year," said the coach. "I
admire the honest "dub" who is will
ing to work and train."
The first track event of the year
is set for ten o'clock Saturday morn
ing at the athletic field. It will be
an inter-class meet and at least two
or three hundred candidates are ex
pected to be on hand. Entry blanks
for the different classes are now
posted in the gymnasium and any
desiring to enter in any event may do
so by means of these blanks. All
Freshmen are advised to get into as
manv events as possible whether
proficient in any particular event or
not. The success of Nebraska s
track team will depend on the num
ber of men who are out and Satur
day morning is the first chance to
&ec into the game.
A worthy descendent of Lewis Car
rolls immortal work is ROUND
FAIRY-WHITE RABBIT, by Brenda
Girvin (Stokes). It interweaves
charming legends of the fairies which
have haunted the British Isles from
time immemorial, with adventures of

Miss Howell went to France foi the
Red Cross and found work wherever

doughnuts for a Sunday afternoon tea

WILL PAUSE TO PAY
TRIBUTE TO FALLEN
Just before the sti-itlng whistle
calls the teams into action tomorrow,
a few moments or absolute silence
will reign over the stands Htid grid
Iron. This period of calm will be in
honor of the fallen heroes or both
Ames and Nebraska who gave their
lives on the battle field In the cuum

proper that this reverence should be
Bhown to the dead heroes or the two

This has been practiced by the lead

all can unite in paying tribute to
those represented by the gold stars
on the service flag. This ceremony
will be conducted for the first time
on Nebraska field at tomorrow's
game.
CHORUS PRESENTS
HALLOWE'EN CANTATA
AT CONVOCATION
Yesterday's convocation ,"St. John's
Eve," given by the chorus and orches
tra was both a treat and a surprise
to those who attended. Despite the
lain, a large number of university
students and many Lincoln people
gathered at the Temple theater.
An unusually large chorus with ex
cellent soloists and orchestral music,
under the direction of Carrie B. Ray
mond, gave the audience a most de
lightful hour's entertainment.
Those who realize the difficulty ot
presenting a cantata were surprised at
the finished manner in which it was
given. Mrs. Raymond has been ham
pered by the lack of male voices but
the men who did sing took their putts
so well that the absence of others
passed unnoticed. Mrs. Raymond's
greatest difficulty, however, was due
to the lack of stage room. The Tern
pie Theater, which is the largest, stage
the university has, proved inadequate
and part of the chorus were obliged
to stand in the wings and boxes.
The cantata reflected the Hallowe'en
spirit and its music was rollicking
and joyful with occasional somber
strains which merely emphasized its
otherwise Joyful spirit.
Margaret Perry took the part of
Nancy, a village maiden and Lucile
Cline that of Margaret, an ancient
dame. The part of Robert, a young
villager was sung by Oscar Bennett
and that of the young squire by Fran
cis Diers. The orchestra was com
posed of Edward J. Walt, first violin;
Ernest Harrison, second violin; Wil
liam T. Quick, viola; Lillian Elote,
'cello; Mark Pierce, double bass; Don-
no Gustin, piano.

It was a place where he could read,
write, smoke, and have the assoela

men. Miss Howell's first work was or

is near historic Verdun, and its estab
lishment during shell fire was most
dangerous.
An Inspector of huts in the Eeastern
zone, the advance sector of the Amer
ican troops, Miss Howell had her
hands full, for the hospital centers
were not near each other and the
French train service was so poor that
travelling done was uncertain and
most distasteful, often necessitating
waits from sixteen to twenty-four
hours for a train and then finding it
so crowded that standing room was at
a premium. During her tours of in
spection Miss Howell went through Al
lerey. Saone et Loire, where the Uni
versity of Nebraska Base Hospita! No.
49 was located. .

UNIVERSITY STOCK
COMPANY'S FIRST
PLAY NEXT WEEK
"It Pays to Advertise," to be given
the Gth, 7th and 8th of November in
the Temple Theater, is the first of a
series of plays by the University
Stock company during the coming
year. The intention or the players is
to satisry the need or a stock company
in the city or Lincoln.
The play is an original Cohan and
Harris production whose plot centers
about a clever advertising man whose
enthusiasm and originality brings the
story to a most delightful climax. Miss
Alice Howell, dramatic director in
chatge of the work is most enthusias
tic over the cast and the preliminary
work. The leading lady, Miss Gene
vleve Addleman, whose work is most
charming, plays opposite Herbent Yen
ne and Mr. Walter Herbert, both ex-
service me. This play marks the re
turn to dramatics or men called away
by the war.
Miss Addleman in discussing it em
phasized the aggressive spirit shown
throughout the play and said. "The
keynote or this play is to be the key
note or the policy of the University
Stock company during the coming
year." The whole cast shows this spi
rit and this play as well as every suc
ceeding one is an assured success.
The dramatic season is in Tull
swing, with the dramatic try-outs next
week, and the play, "It Pays to Ad
vertise" to be followed very shortly
bv "The Follies." The second play In
the series is "Under Cover" whose
male cast is one taken entirely by men
who saw action overseas with the A
E. F.
The students in Mechanical Engi
neering recently performed a suco-ss
ful series of tests upon a crank pin
returning tool invented and manufac
tured by Alex Weber, a former Lin
coin man, now of Los Angeles. The
students also made time studies of
the various operations and determined
the effects of various cutting com
pounds used in conjunction with the
tool. The tool is at present on ex
hibition in the machine shop, Mechan
leal Engineering building.
Ever since the writer can remember
tWre has been a campaign on to make
men free, and yet the jails have been
fairly well filled, all the time, because
men have too much freedom.

lowing article gives a good Impression
of opinion in Ames circles.
"Ames, Iowa. Oct. 30, 1919. (Spe
cial to The Nebraskan). Nothing Is
being left undone in getting the Cy
clones into shape for the invasion of
the Cornhusker camp Saturday. The
prestige of the Nebraskans is highly
regarded in the local circles In spite
of the fact that they have failed to
register a win on the gridiron this
year. The Ames team is light and de
pends upon its speed In winning the
game. It is hoped that Bill Davis, one
of the brightest lights on the Cyclone
squad, will get into shape by Satur
day. Davis, if right, is on or the clev
erest open field runners in the west
and is a drop kicker or excellent abili
ty. Vanderloo, the hard hitting full
back, who has been out Tor a rew days,
will probably ge.t an opportunity to
show his wares against the Huskers.
"Shorty" Boyd, Coach Mayser's midget
quarter back, is in good shape ano all
primed to tear into the Nebraskans
Saturday.
The local followers are not very
keen as to predicting the outcome of
the game, as they have the impression
that the Nebraskans are due to come
into their own this week. However,
they are positive that the Cyclones, if
given a fair chance, will spring some
unlooked for surprise. They showed
amazing strength last week when the
big Kasas team battled them to a
scoreless tie. Ethusiasm over the
game is running high and a number
of students plan to accompany the
team to Lincoln. Funds have been
raised to send a fifty-piece college
band with the team Friday.
No outdoor practice was held by the
Huskers yesterday. The team was
given to a thorough rule quiz and an
alysis of anticipated Ames plays and s
formations. Assistant Coach Schulte
scouted the Ames-Kansas battle last
week and brought home some inter
esting data concerning the Cyclone
team. He rates them as one of the
best aggregations in the Missouri
Valley and predicts that tomorrow's
game will be no walkaway for the
Cornhuskers.
Coach Schulte has put the finishing
touches to the Husker squad in pre
paration for the Cyclones. Several
changes will probably be apparent
when the heather green warriors
prance on to the field tomorrow.
Schulte has not announced a definite
lineup but the following is a likely
selection:
