SYRACUSE IS HOT OVERCONFIDENT Easterner, are Watching the Tbankgivin Game Between Eait and West With Interest There seems to be no such confi dence in the Syracuse boosters con remlng the game with Nebraska, representative- of the west as was notice able before the game two yea ago. Instead of making light of the team that was to come within one point of tying and only a few yards of beating them, as they did then, the coaches, t,.am' and students are evidently watching the contest with much In terest and some misgivings as to the possible outcome. Newspapers published at Syracuse, M. Y, are "hep" to the fact that Buck O'Neill's big Orange team, which has established itself as 1919 football champion of the east, is destined to bump into a genuine battle with the Nebraska Cornhuskers on Thanksgiv ing day in Lincoln. The Syracuse publishers didn't pay much attention to the SyTacuse-Nebraska game two years ago, evidently figuring the Hub leers would be easy meat for the New Yorkers. In consequence, they did not send staff representatives with the Orange squad. Instead of stand ing around and watching the Syracu sans march to a string of touch downs, the Huskers gave the east erners a merry fight and fell one point short of a tie score by reason of a failure to kick goal, following a touchdown. Having satisfied themselves that Cornhusker football Is the real arti cle and evidently getting the hunch that this year's Huskers have the goods to give the Orange team an ar gument from whistle to whistle, the Syracuse newspapers are sending staff representatives on the trip to Lincoln. One of the Syracuse foot ball scribes Is under instructions to file a 6.00O-word runningstory on the Turkey day combat. The Nebraskan management will do Its best to show the Syracuse newspaper men every courtesy and the visiting newspaper writers will be awarded choice reser vations in the press stand. Twenty former students of the University of Nebraska living it McCook have formed a University of Nebraska club for the purpose of bringing former students and gradu ates together to co-operate with stud-t-.i g and faculty and to r.ssist i.i the educational interests of the commun ity and state, particularly to entour age high school students to finish their education in the high school, and to support proper legislation. The following officers were elected: J. A. True, vice-president; Edna Waite, secretary; Prank Barnett. treats o. PICTURES f.'.UST ALL BE TAKEN BEFORE THAKXSBIYIl'G DAY The management o fthe Cornhusk er insists that all pictures for the an nual 6hould be in before Thanicsgiv Ing. There are over one-third of the juniors and seniors who have not had their individual pictures taken and an urgent call is issued to every mem ber of those Classes to see Townsend immediately, and make an appoint ment with him. Every student's immediate and whole-hearted support will be nmo sary this year in order to. insure a better, and bigger Cornhusker. The Townsend Studio has announced that they will not be able to take any Cornhusker pictures during the mouin of December. Students may have their pictures taken after the first of the year, but an additional charge of fifty cents will be taxed each person who does this to pay for an increased price of en graving. At thin time every fraternity but one haa had its group picture taken for the annual, and four-fifths of uc sorority are in. All school organiza tions are responding to the call for Cornhusker pictures, from four to six groups being taken daily. The 1920 Cornhusker to be a rep resentative of every man and worn. in the university, must be made through the co-operation of every one. The way they are swarming to Townsend's Indicates that every stu dent is individually Interested In the success of this year's book. RANDOLPH CLUB ORGANIZED University students who live or iue merly lived at Randolph, Nebr, met at the home of Miss lima Sharp, zuiu K steet, Unl Tlace Tuesday evening. Various kinds of entertainments made the evening a very pleasant one for all. Miss Lillian Heed gave several delightful flute soIob and several oth er! gave piano and violin solos. The hostess served candy, popcorn and apples and each one present told a story or put on a stunt. Since ho felt the need of a definite organiza tion, the Randolph club was den ized, with Miss Margaret Buol as pre sident and Miss Irma Sharp secretary-treasurer. About twenty Randolph students were present, ln-cluding four Wesley rn students. There are about twenty-four people in Lincoln attending either the university or Wesleyan, from this little town of about hium hundred inhabitants. THE FOLLIES PROMISE AH MIKING OF UOSIC, FUN AND SURPRISES A sparkling musical review a la mode" typifying the Midnight Frolics fresh from Broadway, will appear at the Temple Theatre Saturday, Novem ber 22, under the title of Les Follies.

The theme of the farce is based on present-day life at the University of Ne braska and comedy and clever lines will dominate the play. Thirty well known university persons have topor tant places in the cast of the pro duction. The Boston Technical School, which used the music for the presentation in a local production offered there last spring, has sent the score to me university for use in the Damatic club's production.

These men, it is reported, will vie only with the singing and dancing girls, mr honors in good looks and graceful ness. The Dramatic club will present two plays this jear. This semepter "La Follies" will represent their iniiial efforts. At the second semester a more dramatic offering will be pro duced.

UNIVERSITY PLAYERS III "UNDER COVER" Final Work of Staging Mystery Comedy With Special Cast is Begun Regular rehearsals have begun on the next production to be alven pub licly by the University Players, en titled "Under Cover." This is a clev er mystery play, involving a series of exciting and amusing situations which only deepen a plot that seem J to grow more impossible of solution as each new situation reveals Itself. The play Is a modern comedy of considered fame and played very suc cessfully for nearly a year in New York and almost as long in Chicago. It appeared in Lincoln a few years ago at the old Oliver Theater and drew large crowds during its stay in this city. The story revolves around a case of smuggling from Europe of a neck lace worth a great sum of money. The audience is mystified from the first and its sympathies divided between hope that the smuggler will escape and fear that he will prove to be all that he Is painted to be. The climaxes are fast and intense and suspicion jumps from one to another with light ning rapidity for the 'Mener. "Under Cover" has generally - oeen credited with having one of the most mysteri ous plots on the modern Btage and those who have ever seen it will re member the unexpected turn the whole story takes at the end that smooths everything over and leaves the fiction people and the audiences satisfied. The cast, which will be announced very soon, will be headed by Miss Eleanor Fogg, as Ethel Cartwrtght. The production will be given in the Temple Theater, on December 11, 12 and 13. Like the play "It Pays to Ad vertise," the Lincoln playgoers will be specially invited. The male mem bers of the cast will be selected from ex-service men entirely. The cast of "It Pays to Advertise" has been requested to put on that play at Hastings in the middle of Decem ber, and the official permission of the university for this extension work has been secured. It is possible that both "It Pays to Advertise" and "Under Cover" will appear in various towns throughout the state. The Ohio Newspaper, to be pub lished ten times a year by the depart ment of journalism of the Ohio State University, is one of the very newest newcomers to the ranks of journal ism. The paper is well edited and has a serious and well considered aim In Its "spiit and purpose, to be found 'a two words, service and co-operation," o quote from its leading editorial. The standard of journalism in fie Buckeye State is fairly high as it is, but if the newcomer can raise the t-tandard "ven a little, and we believe it car, it will have done something to make its life worth living.

When at their best, the Yearlings present a formidable opposition and Frank'B team will have no easy fruit. The Yorkers have whipped every team in the State Conference and in want of someone else to beat they have turned to Riddell's Freshmen. The game promises to be full of interest and a large crowd will no doubt be pres ent. DIRECTORIES TO BE DISTRIBUTED MONDAY The student directories of the Uni versity of Nebraska will be ready for distribution Monday. Proof has been read and corrected on all advertising matter and "copy," and these collec tions are now in the hands of the printer, who is making up the book.

EASTERNERS ARE HARD AT WORK With the Championship of the East Almost Granted Them, Syracuse Plans for West era Games (Syracuse. N. Y., Nov. 19. On a wet and sloppy field and in a drizzling rain, the Syracuse University team Tuesday afternoon had its first real football workout in preparation for the Nebraska and Indiana games since the Colgate affair. In the absence of Head Coach Buck O'Neill, his assistant, Chick Meehan, directed the work of the men for three hours' field work againrt the scrubs and the freshman teams. Twenty-two players, aside from the coaches. O'Neill, Meehan and Horr, Graduate Manager Smith, Manager E H, McKenzie and Trainer Charley Porter will leave Thursday night for Bloomington, Ind., where the Orange team will play the University of Indi ana the following Saturday. They will be given a hard drill today and will nat work out again until the day be fore the Indiana game. The coaches fear that the long railroad trip will stiffen, them up. Buck O'Neill has promised to try and run up from New York today to sunervise the final workout of his charges before the start west but business matters may prevent him from coming up this week. Same Lineup At Against Colgate The lineup at the start for both the Indiana and the Nebraska games will be the same as the one that started against Colgate last Saturday. It is not likely that Syracuse wil 1 try any new plays on the westerners, as the Orange has a wealth of available ones stored up and these alone will be di rected against the foe in the last two rames of the schedule. All the regulars are in fine shape, none of them suffering any injury in th Cohrate clash a dnthe team, now bekig proclaimed eastern champions. in (nnrlA tie weat brimful or con fidence that they will find nothing head ot them that they cannot over come and conquer.

The definite schedule a ill be an nounced upon Schinnler's return. It v. Ill call for Rimie th a nurtner or big school of the Western conference. the Rocky Mountain conference, and the Missouri Valley conference. Sev eral long trips are being planned and the Husker basket tossera will meet the best teams of the country. With plenty of first class Varstty naterlal reporting, the Nebraska coaches should have little trouble in building a winning basketball team. The quintette of last year stood high r the Valley conference and only two of the performers of that team v ill be missing from the 1920 squad. These are Cable Jackson and Burch Reynolds. Jackson piloted the team through a successful season ana his accurate goal shoo Ing added many points to the Husker scores. Reynolds was a valuable guard and his pac tion will be hard to fill. Offsetting these losses, however. several stars on the 1919 Freshmen team will this year be eligible for the Varsity five. Paynter, Jungmeyer. Russell, Costello, Cypeanson, Monte Munn, and Austin Smith are seven clever gacket flippers whom Coach Schissler will have for Varsity ma terial. Paynter and Russell botb starred with Omaha Central High and are hard to beat at the guard posi tions. Jungmeyer and Cypreanson are Lincoln High men of considerable renown, the former being captain of the Red men of considerable renown, the former being captain of the Hed and Black team in his last yea bnmh is also fom Omaha and Munn is an other Capitol City man. Costello hails from Exeter where he played three years of high school basketoan. These men are all welcome additions to the Varsity squad and will ail aid 1 placing the Cornhusker school at the front in the basket game. Numerous veteran stars are back in school and will once more don the Scarlet and Cream. Johnny Collins of the 1917 team has returned to tne fold and reported for practice. Col lins plays a guard position and is re puted to be a clever, speedy playe. Returning from last year's squad are Captain-elect Schellenberg, Giliilan, Patty, Newman, Pickett, and Bailey. Considering the returned veterans and the incoming eligibles ,the chances for success in basketball at the Cornhusker school are very w couraging. There will be plenty of competent material for each position, enough to form two or three good combinations. All indicaitons point toward a championship team. RALLY FOR STOCK JUDGING TEAM The College of Agriculture will rally at the Burlington station mis afternoon at 1:30 to give the stoc judging team a send-off that it will not soon forget.
