HARVARD.
The Comhuskers may meet
Harvard in football next fall.
Applications for games at the
Harvard Stadium have been re
ceived from many institutions.
Nebraska, Syracuse, Indiana,
Kansas and Missouri are men
tioned as teams which may go
to Cambridge, although not all
these schools have requested
games.
Next year's schedule for the
Harvard Varsity departs con
siderably from the season just
closed. It will again consist of
nine games, however. The six
games preliminary to the con
test with Yale and Princeton
will be shaken up considerably,
with a view of bringing new
ideas and methods f play into
action against the team that is
representative of Harvard.
The candidates for the llusker
a?e quintet took a stiff workout
last evening in the Armory.
Oath Schissler is working hard
10 have the squad in condition
for the games that are to be
played away from home during
ike Christmas vacation.
All of last year's veterans who
are in school have reported for
duty and the men from last sea-cu-s
Frosh squad are on hand
to make the competition for
places on the Varsity as keen as
-ould he desired.
The prospects for a winning team
are bright to a certain extent but not
its bright as were the prospects at
ibis time last year. Coach Schissler
has his pony" team practically intact
tut will have to develop a number 1
hip oen to fill the shoes of Schellen
berg. RusjkII, Pickett and Hussey.
The Hosier "ponies" as they are
familiarly known, work well against a
I'ght team but when a big. heavy

a-e handicapped so much that is is
i'm(t impossible for them to defeat
;?:eir larger opponent
To Meet Leading Quintet.
This season will fee Nebraska play
some of the fastest cage fives in the
1'nited States. The trip during
Cfcriftmas vacation will be a ral left
of the ability of the wearers of the

HOLIDAY
RECESS
AT EARLIER DATE
Dean C. C. Engberg Announces that
Christmas Vacation Begins Sat
urday, December 18.
Students Are Pleased
Change Made Because of Pilgrims'
Day Celebration and for Out-of-Town
Students.
From Saturday. December 18.
at 6 o'clock p. m.. until Saturday.
January 1. at 6 p. m., has been
set for Christmas recess at the
Universitv instead of the later
period besrinnimr Wednesday. De
cember 22. and closing Wednes
day. January 5. according to an
nouncements made Wednesday
eveninp by Dean C. C. Engberp.
This decision was reached at a
conference of Dean Engberp,
Chancellor Avery. Dean Buck and
Provost Lees early yesterday,
and meets with the hearty ap
proval of both students and faculty.
Dean Engberg stated last evening
that the change was made mainly be
cause there Is some probability that
December 21 will be set aside as a
holiday to commemorate the landing
of the Pilgrims. "We do not wish to
grant so many separate holidays, and
because this Pilgrims' day celebration
would come the Tuesday before the
original holiday recess, we believed
that the change made would remove
the difficulty of two holidays within
a few days as this would place Pil
grims day holiday within the Christ
mas recess, said the Executive Dean
Wednesday.
Other Reasons for Change.
Other reasons for the change are
the fact that the new vacation period
gives out-of-town students who live at
a distance the opportunity to arrive
home in plenty of time for Christmas
day. Faculty members welcome the
decision because when recesses begin
In the middle of the week, class
schedules are broken into to a great
