tw Say Cheer Leaders and
Others, Not Athletes, Should
Not Wear Letter
Th. i maker team at sneering last
evening voted unanimously that the.
matter or misusing the N sweater
should be brought to the attention
of the students. They reel that the
S" sweaters are worn by those not
entitled to wear them merely through
lck of thought, not realizing that the
sweaters nre an emblem of athletic
it.ucment. They simply want to call
mtmtlun to it and think that no oilo:
nction will be necessary to stop the
practice which in their judgment is
breaking down a tradition sacred to
athletes.
The letter written by the Freshmen
coach and the Husker captain fol
lows :
The Letter
To the Editor of the ally Nebras
knn:
"The right to wear the "N" sweat
er is given to the men and women of
the University for inrttvldual excel
lence in some particular branch ol
athletics.
No one else has the right to wear
the letter. No one else who stops to
think for a moment would want to
do so. m
Possibly, because they have not
given thought to this matter, we not
ice that our university cheer leaders,
have formed the habit of appearing at
games, where they lead the cheering,
wearing the 'N" sweaters.
"It seems to us that these men could
find suitable garb which would read
ily distinguish them fro mthe crowd,
and at the same time recognize the
school colors, without detracting
from the tradition of the N" sweat
er. "The matter was brought up at a
meeting of the football team last eve
ning and the unanimous opinion ex
pressed, that the matter be brought
to student attention.
"So we have taken your columns as
the medium of expressing not only
our thoughts, but what we feel is the
opinion of every "N" man In the Uni
versity, regarding the wearing of "N"
sweaters.

day, and will include only the cost of
the banquet proper and whatever en
tertainment is decided upon.
Cornhusker banquets have had dis
astrous histories at times in past
years and the organizations back of
the banquet this year are extremely
anxious that it be made the largest,
most enjoyable but at the same time.
the most sensible banquet ever held.
Three years ago the stunt, so long
associated with the closb or tne root-
ball season was outlawed because of
rowdyism and it was not without a
considerable effort that the custom
survived the disapproval of the au
thorities. The annual banquet is still
on its trial for good behavior and it
is hoped that this year will prove be
yond doubt that it should always be a
legitimate celebration.
Last year the banquet was held in
the Lincoln Commercial elb and two
years ago at the Y. M. C. a.. Before
that it had varied beiween the Lin
coln and the Lindell hotels, but neu.er
hotel would finally accept it because
of the rough play of the celebratom.
Now the hotels have agreed to try
the Nebraskans at their best again.
Special committees on stunts and
entertainment have been named rom
among the senior students. Promi
nent alumni are being consulted with
a view to having them present for the
banquet to talk to the active univer
sity men. The program when com

Will Be Dedicated
Many fraternities at the university
are showing a deep and reverent hon

men who have lost brothers very dear
to them in the World War, are ex
pressing their respect as well as their
sincere admiration for those from
their chapter who heeded the call, and
then made the sacrifice of life for the
sake of humanity.
This they are doing by someting
more than a silent appreciation.
Bronze tablets, of other metals,
and panels of cut wood will occupy
conspicuous places in each fraterni
ty house in a few months. Many
chapters have already voted to select
these tablets and many others have
dedicated them with appropriate cere

KOSMET KLUB
OFFERS $100 FOR
MUSICAL COMEDY
First of Klub Shows Since the
War Will Be Produced
Next Semester
Anyone Connected With the Uni
versity Eligible to Compete
for Prise
A prize of $100 will tie given by
Kosmet Klub for a new and original
musical comedy written by anyone
connected with the university, for pro
duction next semester.
For two years the annual Kosmet
show has not been presented because
of the war. This year the club In
tends to resume the production of a
musical comedy and Is making an
:'ily offer bo that work on til p'r.y
might start soon.
Trior to the war, the Kosmet show
was one of the big evens of the
school year. It had become a trad I
lion In the university and was only
a'lowtd to lapse because a large per
centage of the club's members were
In the service.
Kosmet shows have always been
very liberally patronized not only by
university students but also by the
showTgoing public ot Lincoln. The
shows and music have always been
taken well. Each year a prize has
been offered and given for the writ
ing of the play.
First Play Since War.
The production this year will be the
first since the spring of 1917 when
"The Diplomat" was produced." In
1918 the club, instead of presenting
the annual play, took charge of a num
ber of war drives and campaigns on
the campus. Last year it had charge
of the production of the semi-centennial
pageant.
The manuscripts for the play must
be submitted the first day of school
after the Christmas holidays. They
will be submitted to Herman Thomas
at the Awgwan office. He will also
be able to give those competing for
the $100 prize, Information concern
ing the nature of the play desired.
The club reserves the right to re
ject any or all plays submitted. If
one of the comedies submitted is
chosen for production, the writer will
be paid the $100 prize.
With the play, the songs and music
for them must be submitted.
Anyone now a staudent or faculty
member of the university or who has
ever been connected with the univer
sity is eligible to compete.
fraternity who have "Gone West," in
the service of their country. They
will be placed usually in the living
room of the chapter house, where
visitors may see this outward appre
ciation and where brothers may
glance on the epitaphs with a feeling
of pride, mingled with yearning.
Some tablets alreaey selected have
besides the names of the dead rom
that fraternity, the cause of their
death and as near as possible the
place where they died and are buried,
if in France.
Because the university itself is plan
ning a large memorial for her soldier
dead, it is fitting at this time, that
each individual fraternity should show
their own devoted appreciation of
their men by an appropriate dedica
tion of these tablets. It has been lit
tle over a year now since the day of
the armistice, and in order that mem
ories of the soldier dead shall always
be before their brothers, these bits of
bronze will keep their names on the
scrolls of history for all time.

SYRACUSE LOST BY
OVER-COilflDEIICE
Coach Schiaslcr Return. With
Report of the Indiana
Game
Syracuse Believeing Game Easy
Awoke Too Late
Overconfldenco wiui the chief cause
pf the defeat of Syracuse by the In
diana Hooslers, according to Anslst
ant Coach Paul 8chlnsler who icouter
the Orange Hoonler scrap. Schissler
la also of the opinion that the drub
bing they received at Bloomlngton
will make the Now Yorkers fight all
the harder against Nebraska and try
to regain their laurels.
"The Syracuse defeat," said Schlss
ler on his return to Lincoln, "was
the most glaring case of overconfl
dence In all my root ball experience.
The Orange players evidently looked
on the Indiana game as a tort ot
cake walk and tea party, being a
prelude to another victory over Ne
braska and a cleanup of their west
ern trip. Indiana simply got the
Jump on Syracuse, profited from the
breaks of the game and piled up
twelve points before the easterners
could get into their stride. The
Syracuse coach evidently planned to
use his regulars only long enough
to clinch a victory and then send in
substitues by way of giving the
regulars a rest in advance of the
Nebraska game. The second half
was all Syracuse, but the ilooslers
waged Buch stiff resistance that the
easterners had to be content with
one touchdown during the closing
period of the struggle.
Syracuse Will Fight
"I am sure as can be that the
Indiana defeat will make the Syra
cuse team fighting mad, and that
means they will battle more des
perately against Nebraska than in
any previous game this year. From
a Cornhusker standpoint, it would
have been vastly better had the
Orange achieved a comparatively
easy victory over the Hoosiers. That
might have induced the same over-
confidence against Nebraska that
was in evidence in the battle at
Bloomington. Having been humbled
by a team which, in the dope, ap
parently stood no chance whatever
for victory, Syracuse will be up on
its toes and fighting the Cornhuskers,
eye for eye and tooth for tooth, every
Inch of the game on Thanksgiving
day. That's my judgment, and I pre
dict Thursday will provide the proof."
With defeat staring them in the
face, the Syracuse aggregation were
compelled to open up against Indiana
and use every thing they had. Con
sequently Schissler brought home a
nice bag full of Orange plays and for
mations. These tactics were used by
the Freshmen in scrimmage last
night against the varsity and the first
stringers were thoroughly drilled in
breaking them up. Schulte also gave
the varsity some new plays whica
were good for frequent gains against
the Frosh.
Syracuse will come to Lincoln with
a team bigger, heavier, and more ex
perienced than the Huskers. Accord
ing to Schissler, the Hoosiers looked
like high school players beside the
beefy Easterners., The range heavies
are all veterans, mature college men.
Schissler says that two of the New
Yorkers are accompanied on the west
ern trip by their wives, and this is
something of which none of the Corn
huskers can boast. Whether the pres
ence of their better halves will aid or
hinder the Syracuse men in their
E-ridiron form, is a matter of conject
ure, but Nebraskans hope that the ef
fect will be demoralizing. It is tcrea
by some of the Huskers that if the
two Syracuse benedicts should re
ceive a little roughing, the fair
