Traditional Jayhawk Battle Made
Home-Comlng Day For Old
Grads.
The curtain will be lifted on the
IflL'l University of Nebraska football
schedule Saturday afternoon when the
Huskers trot out on the field to meet
t'.io Nebraska Wesleyan Coyotes in the
fi.-st game of the season.
The Huskers this year are facing a
grid program that promises to put
(Much Dawson's warriors to a gruel
ling test. In the Methodists, Nebraska
will bo meeting one of the leading
teams in the Nebraska state confer
ence. The Methodists have a husky
bunch of veterans with a heavy line
and a fast backfield.
After two weeks of practice and
rounding the team into condition, the
Haskell Indians will arrive on the
tiene. The Redskins have always pre
sented a strong team in the field aud
this year will prove no exception. Has
1:11 rates as one of the strongest In
dian schools in the United States.
beginning October 22, the Scarlet
and Cream must face three of the great
teams in American football Notre
Dame, University of Oklahoma and
Pitt. Two of these contests will be
played on foreign fields. The Irish will
be met at South Bend. Pitt U. will be
an opponent on an eastern trip.
The Sooners will make their ap
pearance on Nebraska field. Benny
Owen's Oklahoma team grabbed off
first honors in the Missouri' Valley
circles last fall and are planning to
duplicate the stunt this season.
After the Pitt contests the Jayhawk
ers will pack up their duds and pay
the Huskers a visit. Last year the two
teams battled to a tie. The Nebraska
Kansas game is one of the traditional
( lassies and should t)e a hummer from
whistle to whistle.
The last Junket away from home will
be with Iowa State at Ames. The Iowa
State aggregation is not to be over
looked. Two years ago the Iowa lads
Mine to Lincoln and defeated the Hus
kers, 3 to 0. Last year the Ames
crew gave Iowa U. a good scrap.
The final game of the season will
be an interesting battle. The Colo
rado Aggies, who last year held Ne
braska, 7 to 0, will come to Lincoln for
another encounter. The Mountain Far
mers are the pick of the Mountain grid
circles and will give Nebraska a warm
scrap.

REGISTRAR RELEASES
ENROLLMENT TOTALS
Figures Given Out Show Ttotal Of
3,925 Students Signed Up By
Friday Night.
A total of 3,674 students had enroll
ed in the University up to Friday night,
according to figures given out by the
Registrar yesterday. With 251 addi
tional at the College of Med'cine in
Omaha, the grand total is boosted to
3,925.
The checking up of the lists !n the
Registrar's office was completed Fri
day afternoon and a list made of the
number of freshmen and upper class
men by colleges.
A total of 1,445 freshmen enrolled
of which number 807 are men and 558
women. Upper classmen enrolling total
2,058. Of these 1,168 are women and
S90 men.
In. the College of Medicine 96 fresh
men registered and 155 upper class
men, making a total of 251.
AND TO THINK
THAT H'S TRUE
OF
Some years ago a male student
braved the storm and wore a wrist
watch. He got away with that. Next,
a year or two ago, a man appeared on
the campus wearing ear-rings. He was
hardly classes as eliminate on that
account. But listen
Yesterday a fastidiously dressed
male came jauntily down the steps of
U hall, and sauntered over to one of
the benches near. He seated himself,
gently crossed his knees, and pulled
up his trousers leg just a trifle. That
was the start of the show.
The riscerning ones noticed that he
had on a apir of extra long hose, and
tiFten. they were rolled down to four
inches below the knees, with a pretty
blue garter.

Of Campaign.
The freshman number of Awgwan
will appear Monday October 3 on the
campus of the University filled with
brief bits of wit and humor contribut
ed by members of the student body.
The great feature of the 1921-22 vol
ume is the slash in the price of the
nibllcatioit. Awgwan, rating with the
Harvard Lampoon, Yale Hecord, Grin
nell Malteaser, Bowdoln Bear Skin,
and a host of other publications
which sell at $.00 or more per year,
has taken the initiative in helping stu
dents to cut down college expenses.
Kvery student should take the college
-jomic.
To show that the publication has a
standing far beyond the campus of the
University example after example
might be cited. However, during the
past week the editor has received a
letter from each coast to say nothing
of the many other letters from over
the entire country, askine for Awgwan.
A letter from Los Angeles says "Hur
ry up with Awgwan, I want it and want
it bad." Another from New York says
"fiave seen one issue of last year's
publication. Put me down for a year's
subscription."
Letters from over the entire coun
try follow the same trend, all bubbling
with enthusiasm for Awgwan. The na
tional standing of the publication
should rate a splendid circulation on
the campus where it was born and
reared. Awgwan has always had a
splendid circulation in the city and
this year at the cut price it should
double its popularity with the stud
ent body, especially the freshman for
whom this opening issue is primarily
intended.
Subscribe This Week.
A subscription campaign will be
pushed this week just in advance of
Old Man Awgwan's initial appearance.
Sub-debs and co-eds will rush the cam

Valley Conference Athletic Directors
Meet Monday to Lix Dates For
Games.
Athletic directors representing the
nine universities and colleges holding
membership in the Missouri Valley
conference will assemble Monday
morning, Sept. 2G. at the Baltimore
hotel, Kansas City, to draft confer
ence basketball schedules for the com-
iik season in the indoor winter sport.
The call for the meeting was issued to
day by Pe'e Welch of Drake un veralty
Pes Moines, and Fred W. Lueftrmg,
thletil director at Nebraska, president
and secretary, respectively of the di
re tors' association.
Missouri aVlley basketball schedules
in the past years have always been
drafted in haphazard fashion a sys
tem which often failed to provide for
games between the leading teams in
the Valley circle. Missouri and Ne
braska, for instance, did not compete
n basketball last winter because of
the inability of the basket coaches to
cot together on satisfactory dates.
The situation was discussed last
online at the annual conference meet
ing and the directors of athletics de
cided to inaugurate a new deal in
schedule making, calling a special
meeting this fall for that purpose. The
Monday session in Kansas City, it is
resumed, will take steps to enforce
an even exchange of games by all con
ference schools. Under the proposed
plan, it is probable that Nebraska
w 1! compete with practically every
other conference school.

Dawson's Clan To Have an Iron Line
To Halt Methodist Onslaught
Saturday.
A stiff scrimmage practice Friday
afternoon and a light workout yester-
iay morning brought the week's work
to a close for Coach Dawson's foot
ball warriors. Three complete teams
went through a grind Friday that gave
every man a chance to demonstrate
Tils ability at handling the pigskin.
Coach Dawson mixed up the line-ups
somewhat giving each eleven an equal
chance. Preston, Noble, DeWitz, and
Hartman on one eleven showed up
well and should be valuable Varsity
material. Hartman was the outstand
ing figure by his line-up plunging and
general work in the bacgfield. Hart
man is a former Lincoln high school
man. Coach Dawson seemer very
much pleased by his performance.
Most of the scrimmage was devoted
to line-plunging with an occasional
forward pass. Coach Dawson plans to
have the Huskers perfect an aggres
sive machine of the line plunging type
before giving the men many new for
mations. The Husker mentor expects
to use very few trick plays and open
work against the Nebraska Wesleyan
aggregation next Saturday when the
opening curtain will be raised on the
1921 football season.
Saturday's workout was devoted to
scrimmage, which lasted for an hour.
The entire squad worked at one time
or another during the morning. Nixon,
who was a member of the 1919 fresh
men eleven and last year's Varsity
siuad showed a great deal of class
in his work at tackle. Nixon was in
jured last year early in the season and
was not out during the greater part
of the year.
New Men in Linfeup.
The Xebraska-Wesleyan contest will
see a number of new faces in the
Husker line-up. Pucelik, who held
down the guard and tackle positions
on the left side of the line for the
last two years, reported for work Fri
day afternoon and was a welcome ad
dition to the Husker squad. Coach
Dawson is not using any of the squad
ias a regular Varsity eleven yet but
is giving all of the men a chance to
demonstrate what they can do. Cap
ta n Swanson will probably be at his
I'd position on the left wing with
Scherer working at right end. The ma
terial out for the tackle, guard and
center positions is of excellent calibre
and Coach Dawson will have some
trouble in picking first string men.

He also wants a copy of each man's

There wil no doubt be plenty of
work for all men in the near future,
according to Mr. Ebersole. He says
that no one should leave school now

UNIVERSITY CADET BAND
HOLDS FIRST REHEARSAL
Many Old Members Reported Again
"This Year Tryouts Discover
Good Material.
The University Cadet band met
Thursday evening in the armory for
the first rehearsal ot the year. Many
of the older members, together with
an unusually large number of fresh-
nun, attended. The band, this year,
which numbers close to 85, is much
larger than the bands of previous
years. It is hoped that this year"s
group of musicians will surpass in
quality as well as In quantity those
of other years. Mr. Mathews, the drum
master, stated that the music sounded
better to him than that of some of
the other bands after several rehears
als.
Mr. Mathews gave a short talk on
how tiie band came to be what it is
today and the duties ot the freshmen
members. The older members or upper
T-issinen have first choice of chairs
and the freshmen take what Is left.
The chairs are to be arranged in place
by the freshmen at every rehearsal.
The band today, which occupies the
place it does in our college life, has
grown from something very small. In
conformity with the custom of prev
ious years, it will be called upon at
various times to assist at rallys. basket-ball
and foot-ball games, and oth
er school activities.
