tween individuals or groups
representing the Freshmen and
Sophomore classes before Satur
day, the day of the Olympics.
Drastic measures will be taken

REGISTRATION SMALL AT
SCHOOL OF AG1ICULTURE
Approximately Three Hundred Enroll
Senior Class Larger Than
Last Year's Graduates.
The School of Agriculture opened
Monday with an enrollment of ap
proximately 300 students. About 260
of these were registered last Satur
day and about forty Monday. Miss
Zimmer. of the principal's office, said
that this year's enrollment might
reach 350. This would be about 100
less than last year's total registration.
Miss Zimmer attributed the fiilling off
to the raising of the age limit of
boys from 15 years to 17 and the girls
from 15 to 16 years. The largest
falling off this year was evident in
the Freshmen but the other classes
are of about the same size as last
year. This year's Senior class is
larger than that of last year. There
are about eighty registered in the
Senior class. Twenty-two men are

to the game.

Melton, Isabel Pearsall, Margaret
Henderson and Harriet Ford, will be
in charge of the yells and cheering.

SOPHOMORE CLASS
ELECTS OFFICERS
George Maguire, Representing Inno
cents, Explains Olympics Events
Homecoming Morning.
The Sophomore class got away to
a flying start at the first meeting of
the year held Tuesday morning.
Officers were elected to fill the posi
tion of vice-president secretary and
treasurer and plans were laid for
turning the coming Olympics into an
overwhelming Sophomore victory.
The result of the voting shows the
alarming extent to which the suffrage
spirit has taken hold of the second-
year class. Margaret Stidworthy was
elected vice-president over Joe Ryons,
the other competitor for the honor,
by the vote of 122 to 52. Pauline
Moore, the only candidate for the
secretary office received a large com
plimentary vote. Louise Tucker
triumphed over H. J. Atkisson in the
race for treasurer position, 92 to 60.
The Olympics clash was the center
of attention in the meeting. George
Maguire, who is representing the
Innocents in the Olympics, explained
the events and urged the class to
get in active preparation at orce. Th
Olympics this year are being held a
month earlier than usual, he said,
and with such a short time remaining
it would be necessary for the class tc
chose their own men for the differev
events. Turnouts for the wrestling
and boxing tryouts have been so poor
ly attended that little work could be
done. Few men have tried out for
the relay team. Experienced mer
must come out if the class is to win
the Saturday morning scrap. Maguire
urged the Sophomore men to let the
Freshmen alone on Friday night and
turn out en masse for the big torcn
light parade that is to be held on the
eve of the Notre Dame game.
President Philbrick stated that
there were more men in the Fresh
men class last year than there are
men and women in the Yearling class
this fall. For the first time in many
.-ears the Sophomores will enter the
scrap outnumbering the Freshmen.
"It should be a matter of personal
pride with each man of the class to
see that the Sophomores win," Phil-bri-'k
said.
A committee headed by Kinsey was
appointed by the class president to
see Dean Engberg in regard to re
leasing all Sophomore men from Sat
urday morning classes so that they
may take part in the scrap.
President Philbrick announced the
following committee for the Olympics:
William Lawlor, chairman: Wey
miller, Fouts, . Lewis. Ellis and
Warren.

harder than ever this year to bring
victory to Nebraska
Fight Till Last Ditch.
Notre Dame has been playing
secondary schools so far this year
and Nebraska will be the first test of
their real strength. Coach Schulte is
not making any promises for the
game Saturday but wants the people
to know that the men are going to
fight until the last whistle blows.
Secret practice is being given the
team every night this week, Many
new formations are on the list of
plays the team is learning and there
is a surprise In store for the lollowers
of Schulte's proteges Saturday.
Nebraska and Notre Dame have
participated in five games up to the
present season with honors even for
each team. Nebraska bas been the
victor twice as has Notre Dame with
one battle resulting In a tie. The
game Saturday will be in the nature
of a supreme test for each team.
since the team that wins Saturday
will have one more victory to their
credit than will the other and the
percentage score will read higher for
the victor.
The Varsity is being put through
some stiff work every night by Coach
Schulte, they are battling with the
Freshman team which uses Notre
Dame plays and getting In good shape
for the biggest game of the season.
Squad in Fairly Good Shape.
Coach Schulte reports that the
squad is in fairly good shape for the
game Saturday. Ernie Hubka suf
fered a slight injury to his shoulder
but is sure to be in fighting trim bv
Saturday. With the exceptions of a
few "charley-horses" and colds, the
squad is as good as could be hoped
for.
The Freshmen who have not been
heard much of lately journeyed out to
University Place last evening and
took the measure of the Coyotes bv
the one-sided score of 53 to 0.
Schissler's men used Notre Dame
formations which seemed to work
very successfully against Wesleyan.
The Frosh had a large number of
penalties tacked on them or there
would have possibly been a larger
score. The Freshmen will spend the
rest of the week battling with the
Varsitv.
