AT TWELFTH HOUR
Pigskin Luggers Go Through
Final Hour of Signal Prac
tice on Stadium Field.
With a rousing send-off from a
cheering mob of students, the "fight
ing Cornhuskers" pulled out from the
Burlington station Thursday after
noon for Urbana, Illinois, where they
will meet the University of Illinois
in the first game of the season.
At the twelfth hour it was dis
covered that Russell Hill was ineli
gible and Coach Dawson assigned
Danny Reed to fill his place on the
squad. The loss of Hill to the squad
is of great consequence. Although
Hill probably would not have started
in the lineup he would have been in
the game before the final whisle had
sounded. His beef and head-work
are needed on the line.
At 2 o'clock Thursday the Corn'
huskers went through an hour's final
drill on the stadium field. There
was no scrimmage, snappy signal
practice, and passing the oval com
posed the workout.
The probable lineup that Coach
Dawson will pit against Illinois is:
McAllister, left end.
Weir, left tackle.
Berquist, left guard.
Hutchison, center.
Ogden, right guard.
Bassett, right tackle.
Rhodes, right end.
Captain Lewellen, quarter.
Noble, left half.
H. Dewitz, right half.
Hartman, fullback.
STUDENTS AT FARM
HOLD CONVOCATION
Engberg and Schulte Empha
size Fact That Ag College
Is Part of School.
Students at the College of Ag
riculture held their first convocation
of the year Thursday morning in
Agricultural hall, under the auspices
of the Ag club.
Coach Schulte and Dean Engberg
were the principal speakers.
Schulte emphasized the fact that
the spirit of the students must be
such that they are proud of the en
tire instiution, and not merely the
college in which they are enrolled.
"This University is one of the best
in the nation," he declared, "and
it is you who are to keep it so."
Dean Engberg next spoke to the
students, also urging them to con
sider themselves an intimate part of
the institution.
Drives for members were put on
at the convocation by both the Ag
club and the Home Economics club.

Allege Freshmen Fight Over
Selection
University officials were left
a bit groggy on the Armory Steps
late yesterday afternoon when two
Cornhusker yearlings are alleged to
have engaged in the first fistic brawl
witnessed on the Nebraska campus
for eleven semesters. Efforts failed
to reveal the identity of the two
green capsters last night, and stu
dents will continue the search for
the sparring artists.
Dispute is said to have arisen be
tween several anxiously waiting up-
perclassmen concerning the election
of the honorary colonel for the Uni
versity R. O. T. C. regiment and the
two new comers to the Scarlet fold
took up the questions which re
sulted in the two coming to blows.
' Doubtless the question of the sec
ond annual scansion of the Junior
and Senior classes for the co-ed
choice of the entire student body for
the honorary position will be a much
warmer race than during the initial
campaign. Early indications point
towards an overflowing ballot and
the secret tally of casted votes on
October 9 will be withheld until the
annual cadet officers military ball on
the night of December 7.
The winner of the coming election
will be formerly announced at the
historical hop and the winner of the
campus confab threshed to the fin
ish. Miss Pearl Swanson led the

MANY SUGGESTIONS
Six Days Remain Before Con

the Innocents and the N club nu
merous suggestions for new Corn
husker cheers poured into the office
of the chairman of the cheer leaders

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
DISCUSSED AT DINNER
Chancellor Entertains Faculty
Members and Dr. Kent
of Yale
The address on "The Place of Re
ligion in a State University" Tues
day afternoon by Dr. Charles Foster
Kent of Yale University before the
Nebraska Congregational Conference
and a large number of the University
faculty has been a subject of much
discussion and has created general
interest in the matter.
Chancellor Avery, who attended
the address, said yesterday, "The
University authorities recognize the
great need of stimulating a genuine
relitrious feeling on the part oi stu
dents and the desirability of sending
forth its graduates with the right
philosophy of life. At the same
time, they recognize the limitations
imposed by State law and the possi
bility of discord between those of
lifferent shades of religious beliet.
On Wednesday noon Chancellor
Avery eave a dinner in honor of Dr.
Kent to which were invited a number
of deans and profesjors giving
courses in the University on literary,
historical, and philosophical subjects

Twins Will Meet
Twins at Twin's
Party for Twins
Are you a twin? If you were so
lucky as to be a duplicate of some
other member of your family, then
you are eligible for a twins party.
No, you are not seeing double.
The Barr twins invite all twins to
a party at their home, 2805 Ran
dolph street Saturday night, Octo
ber 0.
As the pairs of twins became so
numerous on the campus in the fall
of 1916, it was necessary to organ
ize a special association for this
group. The organization is purely
a social one.
Any twin is invited whether his
or her twin is in school or not. The
only study or work to be taken up
by the club for the year will be on
the subject, "How to distinguish
one's self from one's twin."

GROUP OF TWENTY TO
WORK EACH COLLEGE
Hope to Sell Enough Tickets to
Fill Student Section in Stad
ium Requires 4,000.
Committees to sell student athletic
be announced in the Sundayissue of
tickets Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday are being appointed and will
the Daily Nebraskan.
Plans now are to have three chair
men, one to have charge each day of
teh campaign.
The tickets, selling for $7.50, will
be sold by committees of twenty
from each college on each of the
three days before the game with
Oklahoma, the first home game, Oct.
13.
It is hoped that at least 4,000
tickets enough to fill the student
section of the stadium, will be sold
in the campaign.
The fact that the student tickets
sell for less than the total of single
admissions and at the same time
admit holders to all football, basket
ball, track, baseball and mat contests,
with the additional privileges of the
tennis courts, is the main talking
point of the salesmen. It is esti
mated that these privileges paid for
separately would cost more than
$25.
CUTTER SPEAKS AT
MEETING OF NUMEDS

CUTTER
"It takes work to succeed in med
icine, and not a spectacular amount
of brain power," declared Dean Irv
ing C. Cutter, of the College of Med
icine, speaking Thursday evening be
fore the fir&t meeting of the year of
the NuMeds, premedic society.
"The opportunity in that field is
just as great today as ever, if not
more so," he declared, adding that
two essentials the medical man must
have are the ability to work, and to
work alone.
Elections to fill vacancies caused
by failure of members to return to
school were as-follows:
Richard Dunker, vice president,
succeeding R. Everett, now presi
dent. John Cameron was elected

DAWSON WILL NOT
MAKE PREDICTION
Captain Lewellen Promises
Team Will Be Fighting
Every Minute of Game.
"We have a new team and one
which hasn't been tried out yet, but
Nebraska is nver licked !" said Cap
tain Lewellen to the 2,000 Nebraska
rooters who marched down to the
Burlington depot yesterday after
noon to see the football team off for
its fust game with Illinois Saturday.
"Nebraska has the fire, Nebraska
has the pep, and it's going to fight,"
he continued after the cheers had
died down.
The Burlington depot was virtually
packed with followers of the "scar
let and cream." When the standing
room was taken, scores were forced
to hang on the fences and climb on
the roof of the train shed.
"We aren't making any predictions
except that we're going to fight,"
said Coach Dawson. "We want you
to have your hearts in the right place
just as the boys on the team have.
We have new men this season, but
they're our boys and they're the best
we've got."
After prolonged cheering, the
coach finished by saying, "Illinois or
no Illinois, we're going to play foot
ball every minute of the game."
The large turn-out and the en
thusiastic spirit was commended by
all three of the men who spoke to
the students. Coach Schulte, in his
talk, said, "No team can leave Ne
braska with a send-off like this and
do anything but fight."
Coach Schulte told of the defeat
the team received last year at Syra
cuse and the great reception that
the team got when it returned, even
though it had been beaten. "This,"
he said, "was one of the reasons why
that same team defeated Notre
Dame a little later."
"If we're licked, it will be because
the other team is better than ours,
and we don't know about that. Ne
braska is a great school and such
enthusiasm as this shows it," he cor
eluded.
The parade, which was four blocks
long, was led by the Innocents and
the University band. After them
came companies H and I under Cap
tains Woodard and Livinghouse.
Then came the body of the parade,
hundreds and hundreds of cheering
and singing Nebraskans.
The rally was managed by the In
nocents. Cheerleader "Duke" Glea
son led the crowd in the cheers and
songs. He was aided along the line
of march by the Corncobs who were
out in full focre.
As the train pulled out the whole
crowd, with heads bare, sang the
"Cornhusker," and as long as the
train was in sight, 2,000 caps and
handkerchiefs were waving in the
air.
