Threatening Storms Dampen The pleasant autumn days have gone; the first snow fall of the year seems imminent; Old Jack Frost threatens to come down from the Icy Northland at any moment and drape the prairies with his velvety flakes of white confetti. Everyone is getting ready for him. Five o'clock classes are now nign.. classes. The sun sinks to his ill-deserved rest about the time he used to be at the height of his glory. It is night inky black when you sit down to your evening rerast, supper or dinner whatever you want to call It. And when you hit the icy floor of the dormitory about seven bells in the morning it is still night Inky black old Sol starts late as well as quite early these days. But you can't blame this on to Harding or the administration. It is just the natural sequence of things. ames overflowing WITH DECORATIONS ty against the freshman last evening, with the yearlings using the Aggio plays. Practically the same lineup that started against, the Kansas Jayhawk ers last Saturday will start against the Cyclones in the coming battle. With the Ames contest scratched from the Cornhusker calendar, one game re mains for th el921 Varsity to take part in. Three men are playing their last contest for the Scarlet and he Cream on Thanksgiving day when the Husk ers meet the Colorado Aggies on Ne braska field. Ciptain Swanson, left end; John Pucelik, left guard and Floyd Wright, right half, are the three Cornhuskers who will wind up their Varsity career next week. This is Captain Swanson's fourth year on the Varsity, "Swannie" playing part time on the 1918 S. A. T. C. eleven. Wright and Pucelik have played the last three seasons and have won a great deal of recognition for themselves through out the country as exponents of thj pigskin sport. Wright is probably the fastest man on the eleven at carrying the ball and one of the most consist ent ground gainers in the backfie'd. Pucelik has starred the last thr-ri years and is known for his ability t; spill the offense of the opposing team. He was given All-American mention last year along with Captain Swanson by Walter Camp and it is expect aJ that thess two Huskers will agaii. como into the limelight when the crit ics begin to pick the mythical elevens.

Lincoln churches have always held (Continued on Page Tnree.) Won't Ardor of Huskers It happens thus about this time eve--y year. Some of us like it, more of us dislike it, but all of us tolerate it. As a matter of fact, we do just ahmit what we want to do and what u nlan to do. irrespective of the weather. For instance, many carloads of hap py Huskers are going forth today and tomorrow on the journey to Cycne town to see the Corntmr.kers wa"op the Iowans. Much merry will be mncte and spirits will be very high. Whether it snows or whether it blows, whether It rains or whether it shines, the Cornhuskers in Air.e3 will be Joyful everybody happy, nobody blue. Dawson's clan Is going to win the whole world knows that. It's just a question of how big the score is. So" why shouldn't everyone feel gay. That's the whole thing in a nut shell. What does one snow flake, more or less, matter In the Uvea of five thousand happy Huskers? MECHANICAL ENGINEERS HEAR PRACTICAL TALKS Tho A. S. M.
