NO INDIVIDUAL SCRAPS.
There are to be no scraps be
tween individuals or groups
representing the Freshmen and
Sophomore classes before Satur
day, the day of the Olympics.
Drastic measures will be taken
by the executive dean againe
students who attempt to kidnap
contestants or individuals o'
either class. The Olympics
were Instituted to do away with
hazing and class scraps which
used to be the custom at the
University in days gone by.
Such cuetems are not to be
revived this year. The fight
between the Freshmen and
Sophomores must be confined
to Saturday's Olympics is the
dtflnlU stand taken by the
executive dean.
This does not signify tha '.J

With the Freshmen - Sophomore
Olympic battle only twenty-four hours
away, enthusiasm and last-minute
preparation are evident in both
camps. The events will be staged,
Saturday morning in time Tor par
ticipants and spectators to go home
and dress for the Notre Dame struggle
in the afternoon.
"Of course there are some Sopho
mores who will not be able to go
home and dress for the game," said
a first-year man yesterday, "but there
may be a few fortunate second-year
battlers in the bleachers."
' The Freshmen are confident that
the Sophomores will not be able to
prevent the charging horde of first
year men from tearing down the
second-year colors from the greased
pole in the pole rush.
President Robert F. Craig of the
Freshman class and Chairman Dick
Giller of the Olympics committee,
urge that every first-year man be
present in time to take part in the
pole rush; as it will require the entire
male population of the class to over
come the experience of the Sopho
mores In this event
Keen competition has been mani
fest in the tryouts, and it is evident
that all the matches will be hard
struggles. The Freshman relay team
has not yet been picked, but several

Pharmacy Hall met with a sad mis

ball contest and relay race, in addi

ling and boxing bouts. Toe push ball

of the rope in tire tug-of war, while
four men will represent each class in
the relay race.
Several "N" men will be on hand
to judge the wrestling matches and
see that fair play is evident at all
times. Frank Adkins is in charge of
thp hoxine and an efficient referee
will be provided for each bout
It is very important that all par

Victory Events Begin at 9
a. m. Saturday.
Final touches have been put on the
Sophomore war machine. Every
thing necessary to the downfall of
the Freshmen has been arranged
The Sophomore Class will enter the
Olympics with a better chance of win
ning the clash than any second year
class has had for several years
They will outnumber the Yearlings
and will have the experience from
last year's scrap to aid them.
President Philbrick is optomistic
over the outlook for the second-year
class, although he concedes that the
Freshmen will put up a hard fight,
"If every man registered in the class
will turn out for the scrap we should
have no difficulty in winning. This
class has the best chance that r.ny
class has had for several years to win
the Olympics twice. Sophomores
should make it a matter of self pride
to see that the class comes out victor
ious." These are statements made
by the second-year President Thurs
day.

NOTRE DAME, Ind., Oct. 14. Ne
braska plays, as executed by Notre
Dame Freshmen, cut big holes in the
Varsity defense today. Time and
again the Yearling backs battered
their way through the line for sub
stantial gains. The first year men
were unable, however, to check the
Varsity on offense. Grant played
quarterback for the Varsity in the
final moments of the scrimmage, and
his showing surprised the coaches.
Today was the first active service
Grant has seen since his return ten
days ago.
Nebraska's Cornhuskers were un
able to work out on the gridiron yes
terday owing to the heavy field.
Coach Schulte put his men through
a long signal practice in the gym
nasium and gave them a good work
out indoors. The Huskers do not
seem doubtful in the least as to the
outcome of the game tomorrow but
are only hoping that ideal weather
prevails so that team play will not
be in any way hampered.
