hirst Rally of the Year on Eve of
Washburn Game Slated to Draw
Crowd of Howling Huskers.
Tonight -at 7 o'clock marks the
' initial football rally of the year,
if the enthusiasm shown on the
campus Thursday is a true indica
tion of the pep to be injected into
the student body tonight by
hpor leaders., the Washburn
Tchabods will pet a severe drtib
bing at the hands of Schulte's
nVhtinir cloven Saturday. The
purpose of the rally is two-fold
m-pordiii! to those who are
nlanning the yell-fest: (1) t
teach Nebraska Freshmen what
true spirit means by the use o
Cornlmsker cheers and songs, and
(2) to sound the death knell for the
Topeka team October 2.
The rally will begin at 7 o'clock
instead of at 7:15 as was reported
Wednesday. It will close promptly
at S o'clock so that it will not inter
fere with the various fraternity an
subscription parties that have been
scheduled for tonight.
Cheer Leaders Chosen Tonight.
New yell-men will be voted on during
ilie evening and selected before the
first game, enabling them to make
their first public appearance at that
time.
The team which Coach Schulte will
pick to meet the Topekans Saturday
vill occupy a place on th". stage and
will aid in the noise-making. Captain
Bill" Day, Coach Schulte, and Direc
tor Luehring will speak. The R. O
T. C. Cadet Band will play University
songs and will lead in the giving of
the new Indian chant which was
adopted last year.
It is urged that students fill the
Armory as early as possible so that a
larger number of persons can be ac
commodated. At former rallies it has
been necessary for many students to
partake of standing room near the
exits.
Although the game with Washburn
Satunlay -will not be the bluest clash
of the schedule the reported strength
of the Kansas aggregation has made
Ilufker fans sit up and take notice.
It is thought that this year's Fresh
men will be able to give Nebraska
yells and songs with as much enthusi
asm and confidence as upperclassmen
because of their training at the con
Tocatior.s for first-year students Tues
day.
Those students who have not yet

will hold their annual "pep" and
"get-together" meeting this morning
at 10:50. All 10 o'clock classes will
be dismissed at 10:25 a. m. in order
that every one may be present. The

this meeting so that they may get
some idea of the work that is to be
carried on.
At this time the new yells and
songs will be tried out and the win
ncr of the best yell will receive his
prize. The music will be under the
direction of the Law Quartet, There
is a great deal of competition mani
fested among the Laws as to who will

incentive for attending this meeting.

That students, particularly of in

coach who wants them to make good,
s the theory advanced by Trof. H. G.

of the Arts College.
"A coach works his men to the
mit. of their endurance and they

There are hundreds of openings in

concerns want nara workers anu
hard thinkers. ' They want men of

Thursday In which five persons were
severely injured affected fraternity
members at the University to such
an extent that cold ham sandwiches,

popular dishes.
Many of the fraternity and sorority
houses depend almost entirely upon
gas to cook their meals. Yesterday
shortly after the explosion all the
available supply was turned off, anew
hungry students were sent in flocks
to delicatessen stores for their meals.

JUDGING TEAM
NATIONAL MEET
UNIVERSITY GROUP TO MEET
MIDDLE WESTERN SCHOOLS.
Six Men Picked to Represent Ne-
braska in Contest to Be Held
Monday at Des Moines.
The judging team, that will repre
tent Nebraska University at the Na
tional Swine Exhibit at Des Moines
next Monday, is made up of the
following:
C. E. Atkinson, Royal Schoen,
LeRoy Ingham, K. A. Clark, A. K.
Hei'perly, W. V. Lambert.
The team will leave at 1:50 this
atternoon for Ames, where they will
spend Saturday visiting the Iowa
Agricultural College and several large
siock farms. They will also receive
m,e coaching while making the tour
from Professor Gramlich, who will
accompany the team.
Eleven candidates for the team
visiced the Gage county fair yester
day and tryouts were held under the
supervision of Professors Gramlich
and Savin. Several Candida'. s visited
the Seward county fair a few days
ago, judging the swine exhibit as a
bit of practice. Professor Gramlich
has been coaching a number of men
for the team and had much good
material from which to pick a team.
Teams from Iowa, Missouri, South
Dakota and Kansas will compete with
Nebraska at Des Moines for honors.
This is the first contest that these
tchoois will enter since the beginning
jf the new school year and a great
deal of attention will be devoted to
the outcome of the contest.
The team that goes to Des Moines
today will not" necessarily be the one
hat will represent Nebraska at the
nteinational Stock Show at Chicago
and the Western Stock Show at
Denver, nest winter. Separate try-
outs will be held for the teams that
will represent Nebraska at those con
tests. The present team has been
icked to judge swine only. No cattle
will be judged at Monday's contest.
In keeping with the true Nebraska
spirit, a crowd of Cornhuskers will
give the team a warm send-off when
they leave Lincoln this afternoon.
This contest will give the Nebraska
Ags" a chance to compete with the
l-T.c'ir.g schools of the Middle West.

Gas Plant Explodes
To cap the climax, many of the
Lincoln restaurants depjnd on gas
entirely and when students ordered
"something hot" they weie greeted
with an "I don't get you" air on the
part of Mr. Waiter. Cold sandwiches,
pie and radishes were the result
"1 paid seventy-five cents for a
miserable dinner," said a Sophomore
yesterday. "It was cold, you know,
and I was counting on something hot
to eat. Instead I dined on lettuce
salad, peanut butter and cold liver."
But gas plants don't explode every
day and besides now is the time to
sell your flivver and buy a coal range
for the kitchen.
And after all, all this has been gas
about gas maybe we exploded too!
CROTHERS SPEAKS
AT CONVOCATION
WELL-KNOWN WRITER TALKS TO
UNIVERSITY AUDIENCE.
Popular Lecturer Telis Students
About Natural Enemies and How
to Make Best of Them.
Samuel McCord Crothers, well
known writer and lecturer, spoke on
"Natural Enemies, and how to make
the best of them" at convocation
Thursday.
"Everybody must have some philoso
phy of peace," be said. Then he de
scribed the way in which many ideal
ists had the fundamental principles
of their lives broken down by the
part they had to take in the world
war. "We start too high," he de
clared, "and are disappointed at t'
actual world."
The idea that we are all natural
enemies is the correct theory of life,
according to Mr. Crothers. This
philosophy requires that we adjust
ourselves to live peaceably among
others. It prevents disappointment
at the conduct of others and makes
friendly acts delightful surprises.
Economic Theories Failed.
Mr. Crothers applied his theory to
the economic struggle of .today, to
primitive life, to our educational sys
tem and many other relationships of
every-day life. He said that economic
theories have failed because they are
based on the belief that the capitalist
and the laborer, the buyer and the
seller are natural friends. His theory
is that they must recognize the differ
ences in their interests and try to
adjust them. He also criticized the
theory of examination saying, "We
are beginning to see that these two
classes, the buyer and the seller,
cannot exterminate one another."
In illustrating the enmity of busi
ness men and professors he related
a personal experience. He had fin
ished delivering a lecture when a
man arose to ask the "professor"
some catch-question. When the man
learceci that Mr. Crothers was not a
professor he was at once friendly and
dropped the question.
A good sized crowd attended the
convocation which was the first of
the year. Other convocations will be
announced later.

their first real taste of battle against Washburn and no prophesy
can be made as to the success of the season until the team is seen in
action against a strong foe.
The Ichabods are due to arrive in Lincoln sometime today and
it is reported that Coach Dwight Ream is bringing with him two
elevens, either one of which he believes is capable of taking the
measure of any team Schulte can scrape together. Whether or not
this han be accomplished remains to be seen, but there is no doubt
that 1he Huskers will be pitted against a real football team and will

Political Interest Centers Around
Class Presidential Elections Slate
With only a few hours remaining
until the expiration of the time limit
for filing applications, the interest in
the class presidential elections sched
uled for next Tuesday becomes more
intense each day. Although no names
will be given out from the Registrar's
office until tonight, it is kno-vrn that
several people have already filed as
candidates. Students will be ineligible
to contest if they file after 5 o'clock
this evening.
At least one candidate for Senior

by no means have a walk away, as
seems to be the opinion of some.
Betting in the Husker camp is rather
quiet. Numerous odds are being
offered on the Cornhuskers and even
money on Nebraska has found plenty
of callers.
The Nebraska lineup given above is
subject to change "without notice."
Coach Schulte has given out no defin
ite lineup but the one submitted here
is a likely selection. Moore may be
used at one of the end positions, or
in the backfield. Howarth or Hart
ley, too, may start the game in a
backfield position. Nelson, Schoeppel, '
Young or Scherer may be in the
starting lineup. It is quite probable
that Schulte will use a good many
men throughout the game. He wants
to make use of as many as possible,
fining every man a chance to make a
leiter this year.
The final workout preparatory to
the Washburn fray was held yester
day. The squad is in excellent shape
and is more than ready to tackle the
Topeka crew. Schulte prescribes no
hard work today, prefering to let
his men take it easy and be in top
condition tomorrow.
The officials for the game tomorrow
will be: C. E. McBride, Kansas City
Athletic club, referee; Dr. J. A.
Reilly, also of Kansas City Athletic-
club, umpire; Earl Johnson, Lincoln,
head linesman.
