Intermissions.
A skit, rather melodramatic In na
ture, was a feature of the evening. A
"mock" surgical operation was held,
whereby a patient's limb was severed
from his body in front of the large
crowd of students. A stretcher, nurse,
doctor's assistants, and a saw made
the operation entirely realistic.
A democratic spirit between under
classmen and older students was
prevalent throughout the evening.

Coach Schulte, Captain "Bill" Day
and Luehring Praise Nebraska

the noisy efforts of the cheer leaders

loyal to the football rally at the

to Nebraska's encounter with Wash-
l".!rn, Saturday, October 2.
The program went off with a bang,
at 7:15. when "Skipper" Bailey with
his troupe of energetic yell-leaders
brought tha entire assemblage to their
fett with a rousing "Uni." At the
ex clusion of the yelling and selec
tions played by the University Cadet
Band, F. W. Luehring, head of the
Athlttic and Physical Training De
partment, made a short plea for the
support of the ' team by the entire
student body. "They're worth it." said
Mr. Luehring. "We have the Coach,
we have the team, we hope we have
everyone of you back of them."
Schulte Praises Team.
Coach Schulte gave his opinion of
the team's ability in a few remarks.
"They have indulged In clean, square

chance." The Coach followed with a
few suggestions on "Football Eti

"if our team does that, it's got to do

LAWS DISPLAY PEP AT FRIDAY
FOOTBALL RALLY.
Delegation Appears in Force t Wash-

Section of Stand.
Enthusiasm was the key-note of the
Law College football rally which was
held in Law 101 Friday morning at
10:50. The general lecture period
which begins at 11 o'clock was
merged with the ten-minute pep meet
ing. Ten o'clock law classes were
dismissed at 10:35 in order that every
student might attend the first rally
of the school year.
Lawrence "Shorty" Shaw presided
at the meeting which was attended by
nearly 300 shouting Laws. Those
present amid cheering voted unani
mously to support the team and to
make the Law College 100 per cent
patriotic in football circles. Fred
Richards lead the cheering.
Many of Team Are Laws.
It was brought out- that because
twelve of the team are members of
the Law College it should support the
games to a man. Monte Munn, Wade
Munn. Wright, Moore, Schoeppel,
Wenke, Hartley, Young, Newman and
Thomsen were asked to occupy the
first rows of seats at the meeting.
Chalmers Seymour displayed a fez
worn by Law students several years
suo. The cap was of red material.
t. ith identification marks on it Those
j rf.nt unanimously voted to adopt a
Vadgear similar to this to wear at
football games and Law College func
tions. Dean Seavey suggested a pur
ple tassel for the fez.
New Yells Tried Out
Three new Law College yells sub
mitted by students Thursday were
tried out at the meeting. The win
nine effort was not announced be
cause so few yells were submitted.
The three handed in follow:
(1) OHh-h-h-h SAY! (Rising In
flection). LAW-aw-aw-aw-aw School
Ride 'em on a rail
We keep you out of Jail
LAWS.
(2) L-A-Douhle U
L-A-Double U (slow)
Oh, Laws are wo
And Laws we'll be i .
For school and team and Varsity.
(3) U-Laws N-Laws
The guys that pass the bar
U-Laws N-Laws
Hear us near and far
We're for Nebraska
Hear us yell
We're for Nebraska
Strong as LAWS.
The Law quartet sang the new
chant with variations, and the familiar
U-U-TJni of Nebraska.
Judge Wilson Speaks.
"Destroy all law In Nebi. ska and
these prairies wouid go back unre
deemed into the state they were for
centuries before white men b.oka the

the students In the second general

distance of the Nebraska coal but
were unable to carry the ball across.
The Washburn eleven opened with
a brilliant exhibition of end runs and
smashes couple with forward passes
that had Schu'lte's men completely
bewildered. The Ichabods backs
marched down the field in rapid suc
cession. Only ten yards separated
the Washburn outfit from a touch
down when the Husker forwards
broke through and stopped them.
From then on the Ichabods never
threatened the Huskers seriously. A
recovery of a Nebraska fumble near
the goal line afforded another oppor
tunity to score but they could not
respond with the necessary punch.
During the last three periods of the
game the Topeka team advanced the
ball only eight yards, playing for the
most part a defensive game.
Lugged Ball for Huskers.
The chief ground gainers for the
Cornhuskers were Hubka, Dale. Hart
ley, Moore and Schoeppel. During
the second and fhird periods these
three Husker backfield artist pounded'
the Ichabod line and circled the ends
for substantial gains, resulting in the
two touchdowns. The first counter
came as a result of a drive down the
gridiron from mid-field. On the two
yard line, the Husker back who was
to carry the ball missed the signal
but Newman, clever Husker general,
darted around the Washburn left end
and planted the pigskin behind the
goal. The second touchdown came as
a result of Swanson's recovery of a
fumbled punt by Stevens, Washburn
quarterback. Dale and Moore pro
ceeded to break through the Wash
burn line, Moore going over for the
touchdown. Captain Day kicked both
goals. Two tries for field goals by
Dana, Husker end, both failed. The
second was very close, however, strik
ing the goal past and bounding back
on the field.
