CRIMSON SWEATERS MAKE
SHOWING FOR FIRST TIME.
Line Scrimmage Forms Main Part
of Practice Work in Steady
Workouts.
Clad In tho crimson sweaters of
old and regular football equipment
for the first time this season, Coach
Schulte's gridiron warriors were put
through a stiff workout on the athletic
field last night preparatory to the
Varsity-Freshmen battle slated for
tomorrow afternoon. The squad has
been enjoying comparatively easy
work up to date as Schulte desired
to run no risk- of early staleness
and the temperature has been such
that heavy equipment has been im
practicable. From now on the work
will go forward in earnest as the
opening game of the season is sched-
uled for one week from tomorrow.
Line scrimmage work was stressed
by Schulte in the practice session
yesterday. Two opposing lines were
formed and various backfleld perform
ers charged through .the line. All in
nil. it was the most business-like
session that has been on the Huske;
program since the beginning of the
1920 campaign and there is no doul '
but that it will be repeated many
times throughout the season. An
other week of steady practice such as
was held yesterday and the Huskers
will be in prime condition to meet the
Washburn eleven when they journey
to Lincoln on October 2.
Washburn Team Strong.
And just a few words in regard to
this Washburn tribe. The prevailing
spntiment of the camnus seems te
Indicate that the Huskers are in iinr
. for an easy battle in their initial con
'test. But the Washburn eleven is not
to be despised and belittled to such
an extent that the Nebraska team
becomes over-confident. Many foot
ball games are lost in this manner
and In this case, over-confidence is
decidedly out of place. The Kansas
school Is represented by an excep
tionally strong gridiron eleven. The
team of last year was a winner, hold
ing Kansas to a scoreless tie an-'
winning from the majority of t'"
schools In the Kansas State Confer
ence. The 1920 team Is compose
chiefly of veterans of last year and
will present a very formidable array
of football performers against Ne
braska. The Huskers are due for n
hard battle when they meet Wash
burn. DAILY WSRKOUT GIVEN

past week at the University Farm
and in in good condition for the game
with the Varsity tomorrow afternoon.
Coach Schissler reports that his men
will give the Varsity a real battle
and the game will riot be a track
meet an some of the students think.
The game Saturday will not be a
regulation game but one that should
be full of thrills for both the partlcl
pators and the crowd. It will con
slst of six quarters of ten minutes
each. Coach Schlssltr plans to use
his first string men for the .first three
quarters then put the rest of the
in at intervalsBO that all the squad
"will get a chance to show what they
can do under fire.

"BIG SISTER" PICNIC IS
AT ANTELOPE PARK
The first "Big and Little Sisters
get-together of the year will be held
Saturday at Antelope park, It is
urged that every "Big Sister" bring
her "Little Sisters" and also the
Freshmen girls who as yet do not
have "Big Sisters" are urged to come
and get acquainted. The Senior
Girls' Advisory Board have been at
tempting to see that every Freshman
shall have a "Big Sister" for the year
but owing to the fact that, in some
cases credentials were sent in late,
some of the Freshmen have not as
yet met their "Big Sisters." The
Board intends to have all the "Big
Sisters" in touch with the Freshmen
girls by Friday night but the Fresh
men should get their tickets anyway
and come. Tickets for the breakfast
are twenty-five cents and will be on
sale on the campus and may also be
procured at Woman's Hall, Friday. In
case of rain, the "get-together" will
be held at Woman's Hall. Otherwise
be at the pavilion at Antelope park
at nine o'clock. Take the Normal
street car at 13th and O streets at
eight-thirty A. M. Freshmen, come
and get. acquainted.

New Version of "Drink to Only
With Thine Eyes" By a Coke Hound
"Drink and be merry for tomorrow
you may die." They stroll around
the shady walks hand in hand or
otherwise, and she says with a sigh
as she mops her sweating brow
GOSH!!! but I'm THIRSTY! And
so he, who is forever solicitous of
her every wish, says: "Sure we'll
go get a drink and then you'll feel
better."
She takes a new lease on life, as it
were, and her hopes rise to the
heights she visualizes a nice sticky

COMMITTEE OF 200
EXPLAINS ITS WORK
Program of Religious Forces
Campus Divided in Six
"v Parts.
Y. M. C. A AND Y. W. C. A. CO
OPERATE IN PROMOTING WORK
Everyone Is asking these days,
"What is the Committee of Two Hun
dred?" There has been so much ac
tivity on the campus during the last
week directed by these campus lumi
naries that this question logically
comes to the minds of the students.
The Committee of Two Hundred is
essentially a unification of all of the
work of the religious forces on the
campus. Last spring through the
efforts of the student pastors of thr
University and the work of the sec
retaries of the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A..
a program was consummated whic'i
unified the work of the different or
ganizations, which in years past have
worked separately. All the work of
the campus has been divided into si
parts:
New Student Work and Religious
Affiliation.
Religious Education.
Community Service.
Life Work Guidance.
Friendship and Administration f'
Women.
Personnel and Administration for
Men.
One department is taken by each
one of the student pastors and 'thr
two association secretaries. In this
way there is no conflicting or over
apping of the work and each depart
ment can be handled more efficiently
and completely.
During registration week the Con:
mittee of Two Hundred held a ban
quet on Tuesday evening before regis
tration began and seated 120 students
who had returned one day early to
help new students get located and tr
assist the Senior Girls' Advisory Com
mittee In giving new students a most
royal welcome to the University.
A most extensive rrogram has been
planned by the Committee of Twr
Hundred during the year to come an'!

organization to become represented
In their number. There is no re
striction of race or doctrine or re
ligious affiliation. It Is a moveme"

RETURNS FROM TRIP
Visits Central Europe in Four
Months' Stay Given to Re
search Work.
TELLS OF UNSETTLED CONDI
TIONS ACROSS OCEAN.
Miss Laura B. Pfeiffer, Assistant in
European History, returnel last Wed

Switzerland, Germany, France and
England. Most of her time was spent
in Paris, doing research work in the
libraries there, mainly Bibliotheque.
National and Arsenal National. Her
work was over the late French Revo
lution, the period of Constitutional
Monarchy, which lasted less than a
year. She brought back material
which will take her over a year to
work over.
She says conditions in Europe are
unsettled as the result of the war
and that Americans know nothing of
the hardships that war entails and.
compared with European countries,
the United States has not suffered
at all. . The French are still eating
black bread and are on sugar rations.
Butter is scarcely to be had. All
foods are very high for the French,
but for Americans living in Paris it
is not, because of the rate of ex
change. An American can buy four
teen francs" for a dollar, when normal
ly five francs are sold. For the
French, living conditions are extreme
ly difficult because of the low value
of their money. Clothing is not as
high there as in America.
French Fear Another War.
The French have suffered from the
war, not only in the loss of popula
tion, but in the loss and derangemen
of business, loss of income and loss
of health wlue to the hardships and
shocks endured in the war. Miss
Pfeiffer says the French live in con
stant fear of another war with the
Germans. In Germany she says all
you hear Is the next war with France
She also says that the League of
Nations has done lots to help improve
that condition.
The French people don't say much
They just want to be left alone to
work out their own salvation, and to
be given an opportunity. The French
are encouraging industry and are pro
ceeding to rebuild their lost fortunes
and their destroyed areas.

the battlefields, particularly Verdun,

ROUND TRIP TO

FOOTBALL SEASON TICKET DRIVE
COMMENCES NEXT TUESDAY.
GOAL IS SET AT 5,000
LUCKY SOLICITOR MAY CHOOSE
BETWEEN JAUNT AND CASH
EQUIVALENT.
Person Getting Largest Number of
Subscriptions Has Chance to See
Big Eastern Games.
A round-trip fare to New York City,
including tickets to the game with
Rutgers, November 2, and the strug
gle with Penn State at State College,
Pennsylvania, November 6, or its
equivalent in cash, which will amount
to more than $100, will be the prize
given the solicitor who sells the larg
est number of season football tickets
in the big drive that begins Tuesday
and closes Friday evening.
The mammoth campaign will be
under "full steam" on the campus by
a mighty corps of ticket-sellers by
Tuesday morning, September 28.
Each ticket is priced at five dollars.
The goal set in the drive is 5,000
paste-boards, because every Husker is
expected to purchase a book of
passes.
Price is Negligible.
Five dollars is a small sum to pay
for six home games chosen from the
stiffest Cornhusker schedule ever ar
ranged, and including clashes with
Notre Dame, Homecoming Day, Oc
tober 16, and with Michigan Aggies,
November 20. Washington State
plays Schulte's warriors on the Ath
letic Field November 25, Thanks
giving Day.
Every school organization is called
upon to help put the campaign "over
the top." This is a big way to
justify the existence of campus or
ganizations. Each society will be
allowed to get behind one man or wo
man if they desire and "push" them
for the free trip.
Solicitors have been instructed to
issue cards entitling their owners to
the season ticket booklets, after the
purchasers have paid over their five
dollars. These cards must then be
exchanged for season tickets at the
Student Activities office.
The most important reason why
every student at the University
should purchase a season ticket to
all the home games is the fact that
this gives him an opportunity to look
the University in the face to "see
her as others see her" to see the
whole University together.
CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERS
START PRACTICAL DRILL
FORTY MEN TO WIELD PICK AND
SPADE DURING CLASS TIME.
Not every man who comes to the
University has the opportunity to dig
ditches, lay pavement, build bridgps
and get credit for it. Fortunate are
the forty men enrolled in engineer
ing construction who will have the
chance to ply pick and spade during
the two hours of class period. They
will r-.'eive laborers pay for their
work.
Practical engineering work of this
kind, although new at Nebraska, have
tintiii triH unf.pfRsfiillv In eastern
engineering student should know
something of the work that the com
mon laborers must do in order that
he may handle the men more Intelli
gently when he is handling a gang.
No student will be allowed to sluff
on the job. Credit will be given only
to hard workers and those who have
an Inclination to rest often will be
weeded out. Notes will be required
and a examination given at the end
of the semester on the work covered.
Thus far, only class work has been
attempted In the new course, but field
work will be arranged as soon as.
possible.
This field of engineering Is entirely
new to Nebraska University. If
found to be successful it will no doubt
be continued as a regular course in
the College of Engineering.
The work has not yet begun but
the plan calls for the first instruction
within the next two weeks.
