"The green 9ft-nhusker line was weak, of course, but
showed great possibilities. They are fairly big fellows, and

machine," continued Eckersall.

STUDENTS WELCOME
GRID TEAM SUNDAY
Greeting of Hundreds at Sta
tion Marred by Lack of
Organiation.
Nearly as many Cornhuskers were
at the station Sunday evening to
meet the returning football team as
were there Thursday to give them a
send-off. Lack of organization in
the qrowd spoiled the attempt to
greet the members of the team in a
boistrous fashion.
Every sorority and fraternity in
town was notified of the return of
the team at 5:45 p. m. From the ap
pearance of the station as the time
drew near, every one of them were
there with a 100 per cent turnout.
The train was on time but the
rooters were not organized. The
team melted into the crowd rapidly
even before the "welocme home"
rooters had time to give a few yells.
Although the team did not win,
there were more than a thousand
students at the station to show their
appreciation of the efforts made on
the Illinois field.'

Events and Use of University
to Students for Less Than Price
"Four thousand "N '23" buttons
by Friday, is the slogan of the huge
campaign which opens on the cam
put Wednesday morning. Students
will be given a chance to buy stu
dent athletic tickets for $7.50, en
titling them to all home athletic
events of the entire year.
Scores of undergraduates have
been at work preparing for the cam
paign and booths on the campus will
open early tomorrow under their
direction. Each ticket purchaser re
ceives a button of scarlet and cream
with the slogan "N '23" printed on it.
Sophomores, juniors and seniors
are expected to be the first to buy
the tickets as they have had an op
portunity in past years to discover
the worth of the tickets. Freshman
are urged to find out the worth of
the student ticket at once, since only
4,000 tickets are to be placed on sale
Wednesday morning.
The season athletif ticket has in
troduced a large saving in student
expenditures by giving an actual
value of $26 for $7.50. In addition,
at least five campaigns for money
will be eliminated by grouping all
athletic events in the one drive. Ad
mission to the student section in
the stadium for undergraduates will
be only by student tickets.
The student committee has shown
the value of the ticket in the 'follow
ing outline of what the ticket gives:
1 football game $ 1.50
4 football games at $2 8.00
8 basketball games at 50c 4.00
3 track meets at 50c 1.50
8 basketball games at 50c 4.50
3 wrestling matches at 50c 1.50
Tennis "(one year) 5.00
Total value $26.00
Selling price $7.50.
The campaign starting tomorrow
and continuing through till Friday
will be the only chance given the
students to secure the combined ad
missions to all athletic events. On
Saturday of this week, the home
football season opens and from that
time, students may buy only single
admission tickets.
Attention is called to the fact that
single admissions to the five grid
games alone amounts to $9.50, or
$2.00 more than the price of the
student ticket. Some students hav
ing free admission to the football
games, for one reason or another, will
save $9 in admissions to the games
of baseketball, baseball, wrestling
and track meets and privilege of the
tennis courts.
The reason that this extreme value
can be given to the students is so
that an assured income for athletics
is given the athletic department in
advance. Capacity crowds at all
home games is assured, school spirit
is raised and the team is assured of
student backing.
As the committee points out, "It's
an investment in Cornhusker spirit."
