of the Notre Dame game, and two

It will be possible to serve 1,200

Lack of room has somewhat damp
ened the spirit of the banquet in past
years, but this year the committee ia
charge has planned to accommodate
a larger number of students. Most
of the fraternities are planning to
close their tables that night so thai
every one may attend the banquet.
At $1.00 a piate, the committee jn
charge has figured to give the ban
quet at nearly cost. It will be neces

mittee to buy food on an economical
basis. For this reason, the commit
tee urges aH students who plan t&
attend the banquet to buy their tick
ets at the student activities office
before noon Thursday.
Last year 700 men attended tne
Cornhusker banquet. This year the
committee plans to have the attend
ance hit the 1,200 mark. The banquet
will be a windup of this year's suc
cessful gridiron season, and will be a
celebration of the successful close of
the campaign for Nebraskas new

also be in the way of a farewell to
the football men who played for the

ning of places on all western teams,
by four Nebraska grid stars.
Two orchestras an'i the Varsity
quartet are expected to add spirit to

that definite arrangements for the.
