THE GAME AWAY FROM HOME
There is greater thrill in victory and less sting in defeat for one
who watches his team play on a foreign field. To know that you are
one of a mere handful of rooters fighting thousands in opposition Is
enough to stir the blood to quicker action and arouse all your fight
ing Instincts in backing the men who represent your school.
Away from the familiar surroundings of your own athletic field,
matching the game from strange bleachers with strange colors being
flaunted before you. hemmed in on all sides by hostile rooters, makes
victory all the sweeter and defeat less hard to bear. If you win, you
have triumphed over all in spite of the mass of opposition, all the
psychological advantages which playing at home gives the other
team. If you lose well, it's a natural result of bucking up against
the support the other team has had and that your team has lacked.
Rooters cheer madly when they realize they are competing
against thousands away from home. The weight of numbers chal
lenges them to do their best, and they must, to make any showing
at all. Men who have seen their team come out victorious on a for
eign field have felt a greater throb of victory than they could ever
experience at home. And in going down to defeat, there is a satisfac
tion in knowing that you have fought and have been game to the last.
A trip to Missouri next Saturday will be the chance of a life
time. Already one can picture the tenseness that will hang over the
field at Columbia when the Cornhuskers line up at the blast of the
whistle, to win their first game of the season. Go to Missouri if
you can, and cheer as you never cheered before.
WHAT IOWA THINKS
True sportsmanship on the part of the student body is the goal
towards which all colleges should strive. Iowa State has enjoyed a
reputation which few institutions can boast of. Visiting rooters can
be sure that they will be given a fair show here, no matter in how
large a number they come. It appears, though, that some schools do
not believe In this.
Last Saturday afternoon between halves of the Ames-Nebraska
football game, the Ames rooters, overflowing with pep, went out on
the field and started a snake dance. The Nebraska people rushed
them off the field. By their actions Nebraskans proved themselves to
be poor sports In every sense of the word.
In the past the teams from the Cornhusker school have been up
towards the top in athletic circles. This year thry have met with
reverses in every game and Saturday's outcome probably proved to
be the proverbial straw in breaking their pride. Addtc. to this is the
fact that they are now practically outlawed in regard to scheduling
games, because of their severed connections with the Missouri Valley
conference. This is the only possible explanation that can be made
for the conduct of their backers last Saturday. However, the explana
tion is Insufficient to erase the fact that real sportsmanship is lack
ing In that school. Athletics are bound to decline in an institution
that feels no pride In the treatment it presents to visitors, even though
these visitors are athletic rivals. Iowa State Student.
SPORTSMANSHIP
A fall confession may be good for the soul, and it may not be
amiss to confess to some of the charges contained in the article
quoted above, published by the Ames student paper. The criticism,
however, is not entirely just, especially from a school whose rooters,
while admittedly an enthusiastic and spirited lot, were guilty of the
first impolite act on the Nebraska field last Saturday and the act
which brought about the situation described above.
Between halves of a game it has been a custom at Nebraska for
many years for the cadet band to give a review and concert. Rival
bands have always been treated with courtesy before and have re
sponded with equally good manners. There has never been and was
not intended to be, last Saturday, any monopoly of the field for the
full period. The Nebraska band, far from feeling discouraged at a
three to nothing lead from a rival team which they figured Inferior
to the Huskers, formed in ita usual place to play a concert
While they were playing, the Ames band, followed by the Ames
rooters in a snake dance, paraded the field without a word of objec
tion from the Cornhusker school. Thus disregarding the fact that the
Nebraska band was playing a concert selection, the Ames musicians
marched between the Nebraska band and the stands and flared out
with their own music.
Students at Nebraska are supporting their football team, and they
are also supporting their band. They resented, not without some ex
cuse, the discourteous :irl of the visitors and proceeded to rush for
the field to snake dance after their own band. Had the Iowans been
content to snake dance to the music then playing, or could have waited
a fair time until the music stopped, and they were given their turn
on the field, no such demonstration as the one the above statement
colors and laments, would have taken place.

STUDENT OPINION
On Wednesday Night Dances
To An Interested Student: You have
never heard of anyone dying because
he was barred from attending a Wed
nesday night dance? Well, neither
have we, but then, we never have no
ticed any fatalities resulting from at
tending them, have you?
We cannot understand why Wednes
day night dances should be considered
detrimental to the health. Ten-thirty
is really not an appalling hour. It
seems to us that the question is not
one of mid-week dances, but of week
night "dates" pardon us, you who
regard the word "date" unkindly.
What does it matter whether one
dances until ten-thirty, or attends the
movies until nine-thirty and strolls
beneath the stars until ten-thirty?
Just as much time is wasted in the
latter case as in the former. Equally,
as much beauty sleep is lost in either
case. Really, though, it does not seem
to us that loss of sleep can be used
as an argument against mid-week
dances. You say that one must study
after one gets home. It seems to us
that a student in the university who
is truly interested in his work, will
see that it is done before he makes
mid-week engagements, whether for
dances or otherwise.
You say that other schools have
rules more numerous and more strin
gent than we have at Nebraska. This
i3 true in some, though by no means in
all, cases. Do you think that these
rules are really enforced? We do not.
Ask your friends in other schools
Nor do we think that the matter of
expense should be considered. Surely
no man Is so foolish as to attend mid
week dances if he does not feel that
he can afford to do so.
Do you know that many university
students do not have the opportunity
to dance at the week end? Many are

NEBRASKA PEP
To the Editor of The Nebraskan:
What's the matter with Nebraska's
pep? Who could answer, "It's all
right?" Did we have it amputated dur
ing the war. or this another dreadful
epidemic such as the flu? Some say
it's our team, others that its just us.
We certainly haven't nerve enough to
say that our team Is to blame for the
lack of pep. It is hard to snow any
enthusiasm when the team is losing;
but. are we working as hard as they
are to make that game ours? Get be
hind them and push, and push hard.
You saw and heard the delegation j
from nies here Saturday, adoui a j
third of their band was here, yet did j
hey lag? Did they let a propitious j
moment pass without cheering ana ;
veiling? No, they didn't, and many
a Nebraskan was heard to say. a bit j
wistfully, that they certainly had en
ergy and pep. une reason Ames
showed pep ws because she's for her
team, she cares, and her rooters go
with a determination to see their team
win. Their cheer-leaders led the cheer
ing and showed in it quite an amount
of pep, too. Of course, we wouldn't en
deavor to have our cheer-leaders turn
flip-flops, but a little action is really
no more than healthful.
Another thing which is notable is
the fact that our cheer-leaders seldom
try to find out the name of a player
laid out on the field. There certainly
is a code of etiquette for football
games as for any place else. Can't we
show that courtesy to visitors and to
our own men, too?
Then people have been heard to say
that if men and girls would sit togeth
er in the same bleachers, they would
be "peppier." I wasn't aware that there
was a rule or law forbidding men and
girls sitting together. However, if that
would "insure pep, for our team's sake
let's have it.
Nebraskans, our team has been un
fortunate, and we're mighty sorry
but do you suppose that they haven't
done their best? The question is
have you done your best to boost your
team and to let them know that you're
behind them? Think it over and let's
see what we can do on November 15.

In the course of one of his lecture
trips Mark Twain arrived at a small
town. Before dinner he went to a
barber shop to be shaved. "You are
a stranger?" asked the barber. -Yes,
Mark Twain replied. "This is he
first time I've been .here." "You
chose a good time to come," the bar
ber continued. "Mark Twain Is going
to read and lecture tonight YouH
go I suppose?" "Oh, I guess bo.'
"Have you bought your ticket?" "Not
yet." "But everything is sold out.
Youll have to stand." "How very
