CARRY ON CAMPAIGN L BATTLE SET FOR LATE NEXT WEEK Sophomores Planning to Take tne Measure of Yearling Warriors in Minor Events SPHINX NAME COMMITTEE Extensive Preparations Being Made to Handle All Events in Record Time Olympics come October 21. For years, the freshmen have car lit d off the honors in the class scran held on homecoming day. This year, if the powers that be in a physical way make it possible, the sophomores hope and pray to carry off the honors. They have not the slightest hope of winning in the pole rush; they expect Ward Kelley to be pullei, down from the top of the pole. Hut the second-yard men are hoping i and planning to carry off the points il'i tlie re'ay races, the boxing events, 1 1 he wrestling events, and if by na tural and physical strength it is pos sible, they hope to carry off the points in the can rush. Last year the fresh men won this event by a hair or r 1 1 her by about one pair of hands and this year the men who fought for the honor last year hope to, by their ex perience, carry off the honors in this year s rush. And toward this end the sophomores lire working. The ron Sphinx have plans laid for the sophomore tryouts. Kelley will soon appoint his Olympic committee. The Sphinx are sponsor ing boxing and wrestling tryouts to hci held Wednesday and relay tryouts to be held next Saturday. The wrest ling and boxing troyouts will be held in the gymnasium. Many of the box ers and wrestlers who fought for the lass of H25 last year are in school 4gain this year. These men are ex pected to try for another chance to .ipho'd the honors of their class. It is generally agreed the sopho mores must organize it they are to beat the freshmen. It is an unheard- thing, an almost inconceivable phenomenon for I'niversity students ro think of the sophomores carrying off the Olympics. The Iron Sphinx and all the other men of the sophomore class are planning to organize now. They are planning such an effective organization that the class of 1!I2G can not, conquer it. They are organizing on the principle that team work wU boat brute strength and overyhelining numbers. Every fraternity Is urged to see that its underclassmen attend the tryouts both Wednesday and Saturday. It is considered the duty of all second-yeai men to fight In tlie Olympics and only by getting the best men 1n the sopho more class will the sophomores win. The mouthers of the Iron Sphinx Olympic committee are Marlon Har lan, chairman, George Scott and i'eiald Carpenter. Sophomore Class to Meet Next Thursday There will be a meeting of the sophomore c'ass in tlie Social Science Auditorium Thursday at 11 o'clock. Officers will he elected and the Olym pics will he discussed. The committee in charge of the Olympics is, C.eorge Scott, Marian Hif lan and Herald Carpenter. Other com mittees will lie announced later. ANNUA OLYMPIC A WARNING The South Dakota game, long anticipated, Is now passed. We had the long end of a 6(1-0 score. Our athletic horizon has cleared up a bit. In fact we are beginning to feel a little optimistic about our future games. I, is all right to fool optimistic to a certain degree, but we don t want to let our optimism get the better of us and cause us to "get the swelled head." and expect our teams to run up nothing but big scores. The South Dakota team did not offer us as much resistance as wo expected but that does not mean that we will not get twice as much as we ate expecting, from some of the others. Look at the games that are coming- K. I'.. Kansas Aggies, Ames. Oklahoma, Syracuse and Notre Dame. AH of these teams know our style of play somewhat and have been "laying for us" over a vear. They are going to try their very best to carry away the honors themselves, and it will be a hard job for us to prevent it. We don't want to look for big scores like the South Dakota one; we want to be satisfied with winning. U it can only be remembered that every other schoo', and every other team is Just as anxious to get the honors as we are, and that there Is jus as much honor in Just winning as in "running away" with the game, we will be all right. We should always keep in mind "fight 'em. fight 'em. fight 'em." but keep out our over-confidence. We're in to do our best, and win If we can. Therefore, don't be "nagging" If we don't make big Rcores, and be happy that we can win. Keep Close Tab On Frosh Caps Freshmen must wear their green caps! Such is the decree handed down by the members of Iron last week Sphinx. Friday a box was placed in I'-hall with a sign telling all students who knew of freshmen not wearing emer ald headgear to insert the names of the first-year men so violating Ne. braska traditions in that box. Monday afternoon, the sign on the box was missing and to the students who are not Sphinx, the wooden re ceptacle meant nothing. Hut such action of a freshman or two is nuL to prevent the enforce ment of the green cap tradition. Now a call is going forth to all loyal stu dents to report to any member of the Iron Sphinx the names of freshmen who fail to wear their green caps. Every fraternity has two Sphinx. Students knowing of freshmen violat ing rules of the school need hut call the fraternity and inform one of the Sphinx there about the infringement. The Sphinx are anxious for student! to do this. The Innocents have put it up to them to enforce the green cap tradition. Dean of Men Daw s.in says "Do it by all means, hut do not create hospital hills for me to pay." It is up to the Sphinx to obey the trust laid in them. Students should co-operate by helping them. Green Goblins are also on the gen eral I'niversity committee for tlie en forcement of the wearing of the green headgears. The Goblin.s should report to the Sphinx all fresh men who are not wearing the emer ald headgears. Janet McLellen and Lillian Mar golin Rewarded by A. A. of University Women Janet McLellan and Lillian Margo lin are the winners of the scholarships olfered each year to sophomore ami junior girls by the American Associa tion of I'niversity Women, according to an announcement made yesterday by Miss Gertrude Jones, secretary of the Lincoln branch ot tnai orgain...- tion.

II SCHOLARSHIPS AWARDED 10 MEN PLAYERS ANNOUNCE PLAYS FOR THE SE 'The Thirteenth Chair" Is Title of the First Play of the Winter Season BELIEVE IN SUPERSTITION lo Start Campaign fcr Sale of Season Tickets on Friday the Thirteenth "The Thirteenth Chair" is an nounced as the opening play of Vni orsity Players' 1922-23 season. This is the play which created such a stir in dramatic circles a few years ago and his been wonderfully suc cessful in stock and road shows since then. The Players will give "The Thirteenth Chair," a full scenic pro duction at the Temple theatre on October 26, 27 and 2S, with an added performance as a matinee Saturday tiie 2Sth. The Players will offer season tick ?ts for sale this season as in pre '. ;,u;, years and the sale will com mence on Friday, October 13. The ticket season tickets for night per toimances will be sold at the same price at last year three dollars and fifty cents. The Matinee tickets are to be offered as a special induce ment to the students who it has been said aic often unable to purchase the iigilar season tickets for '.lie night pt i lormance. These matinee tickets will be worth two dollars anil fifty cents, but in accordance with the earnest desire of the Players to get tlie students out to these splen did plays the management is offer ing them at a reduced price of two dollars. Needless to say the real reason back of this movement to get the students out to these performances of the I'niversity Players is simply that the Players are a student or ganization and are trying to bring that particular branch of I'niversity activity into the position it justly de serves in the I niversity lite. J ne Payers want tlie students and the students will enjoy the Players. Owing to the fact that the execu tive dean has requested that the practice of offering prizes to those students or organizations who have heretofore engaged in contests in order to sell the tickets, be aban doned, the Players are unable thi. year to offer any material induce ment to the ones who will be called to sell the tickets. In a way this will be a decided disadvantage, but the idea back of tlie executive dean's request is splendid. It is in a word, loyally. Loyalty to the I'niversity and its organizations. If the proper spirit is shown, tho tickets will be easily sold. Aside from the point of loyalty and school spirit is the actual induce ment offered in the plays them selves. The Players will open with a scenic production, of Bayard Veiller's most exciting mystery drama, "The Thirteenth Chair." Theatergoers will recall this play's being in Lincoln on tour a few years !igo. From the reception accorded "Seven Keys to Haldpate" last sea son this play will be warmly re ceived. The Players will follow up with "East Is West," that sensation al success of three reasons .ago, which made Fay Haintner a star. There have been dozens of people already asking concerning this play alone. Eugene O'Neill's "Beyond the Horizon" will come third in order, but not in importance. This is the lirsl time that "East Is West" and "Beyond the Horizon" have been in Lincoln. The fourth product ion will he "Turn to the Right," and nothing need be said of lliis play except that it is the same big success that played Lincoln two seasons ago. The next production will be one of James Bar-rif.-g "Dear Brutus," and in secur io ti,i i.inv for their natrons, the , ...... --- --- -- Players have indeed ben most for tunate. This is the piaT in which William Gillette was starred in the season l!'l!-2f. The TMayer will Cose their season with Shakespeare s "Merry Wives of Windsor." They will follow their usual practice of staging their Shakespearean produc tion in a a most elaborate manner. Don't forget that the season tick ets for the night and matinee per formances of these six plays will go on sale on Friday the 13th. They will be sold at Ross P. Curtice's music store and the matinee tickets for students at the special reduced price, will be sold on the campus (Continued on rage 4) SON Freshman Commission Has Party Saturday All freshmen girls are invited to at tend a parly given by the last year's freshmen commission on Saturday, October 14, at Ellen Smith Hall.
