To aid freshman girls in adjusting
themselves to University life a con
vocation was held Thursday after
noon at the Temple Theater under
the auspices of the Women's Self
Government Association. A talk by
Miss Amanda Heppner, dean of wo

be your pleasure or activities. It
must not be your health or your
studies."
Miss Heppner also advised the
freshman girls to assume a friendly

est working college on the campus

SPHINX ENFORCE
GREEN-GAP RULE
WITH IRON HAND
Sophomores Begin This Week
to Use "Maild First" in Deal
ing With Refractory Fresh
men. BARBECUE FOR FROSH
COMES NEXT WEEK
Secret Vigilance Committee
Will Inflict Punishment on
Those Found Guilty hy Spe
cial Council.
Strict enforcement of the wear
ing of green caps by all freshmen
men is to be instituted this week, it
was decided at the last meeting of
the Iron Sphinx, sophomore men's
honorary. Plans for the coming
freshmen barbecue which will prob
ably be held next week were also
discussed.
The Sphinx are being supported in
the green-cap enforcement by the
Innocents and Coach Dawson, dean
of men. It has been decided that
the caps must be worn during waking
hours, seven days a week, including
social engagements and church.
Each member of the sophomore or
ganization is to be a committee of
one to see that the rule is lived up to.
& enorifll vitrilance committee will
have charge of the enforcement and
will punish offenders. Other Sphinx
members will report all violations to
them. The names of those on this
committee are secret.
The first-year men who violate the
rule will be called up before a coun
cil to answer the charges and will
be duly panished if found guilty.
Tha annual barbecue for all
- . , . . , .
freshmen men will probably be held
. .
next week. The committee in charge
of the affair is Marion Woodard,
chairman, Ben Ravitz, Allen Holmes,
and Leo Black.
Thomas Wake was elected treas
urer to take the place of John Towns
end who was elected last year and did
not return to school this year.
The Sphinx have taken definite
action to get the sophomores in train
ing for the Olympics, although the
date for their fray has not been defi
nitely set. Sophomore try-outs will
take place in a few days.
Players Double Last
Year's Ticket Sales
Selling twice the number of tick
ets bought last year, the University
Plavers have sold more than $1,000
worth of student tickets to date in
this year' campaign. Most student
tickets are for the Saturday matinee.
As a result the Players are making
Saturday a student matinee.
Evenine tickets, used mostly y
the faculty and general public, have
not been sold out and are still avail
able, according to E. L. Erickson,
business manager. Because of the
student support, a signed statement
has been issued to publicly thank all
who purchased tickets. '
All persons aelliag .taoeat ath

HUSKERS GLOOMY
WITH LEWELLEN
OUT OFJJNE-UP
Rufus Dewitz Will Probably Be
Assigned "Lew's" Place as
Field General in Starting
Oklahoma Garr.
CAPTAIN NOT ABLE TO
SCRIMMAGE FOR WEEK
Berquist Still Limping; Hasn't
Bucked the Line Since Game
With Illinois, When He Was
Injured.
Nebraska's "fighting Cornhuskers"
will inaugurate the home season to
morrow afternoon when they meet
Coach Benny Owen's forward-passing
Sooners on the new Memorial
Stadium field.
Old man gloom has flown over the
Husker camp and dropped most of
his cargo, injuries being the cargo.
Captain Lewellen is out of moleskins
and will be out for quite a few days
due to an infection on his left knee.
"Lew" spend Wednesday night in
the Lincoln Sanitarium while the at
tendants applied hot packs through
out the night. He limped down to
the Armory Thursday afternoon for
workout but Coach Dawson sent
him home and gave him strict orders
to stay off his feet. The infection
will probably keep him out of scrim
mage for a week. His place in the
backfield may be assigned to Rufus
Dewitz to start as field general
against Coach Owen's Sooners.
Berquist is still limping with his
game leg and has been kept out of
the scrimmage since the Ulini game.
The Thursday practice consisted
mostly of passing and punting with
the second and third team scrim
maging with the freshmen. Coach
Dawson had his first string to them
selves on one corner of the field
going through a snappy signal prac
tice. Rufus Dewitz was calling sig
nals, with Dave Noble, Locke, and
Herb Dewitz lugging the ball. This
combination may be started against
the invaders. The forward wallers
who will start with the kickoff have
not been definitely picked, but will
probably be McAllister or Meyers,
and Rhodes, ends; Weir and Bas
sett tackles; Berquist and Ogden,
guards ; Hutchison or Westoupal, cen
ters. There may be some last min
ute changes made before the team
takes the field.
GLEASON IS CHOSEN
HEAD CHEERLEADER
Bradley, Junge, Roberts, and
Sidles Selected as Assist
ants to "Duke."
Monroe "Duke" Gleason was
chosen head vheerleader for the com
ing athletic season, following try-outs
conducted Thursday afternoon by the
Innocents society. "Duke" was
chosen to fill the vacancy left by
Freddie Richards who did not return
to school this semester. William
Bradley, cheerleader of last year,
was chosen first assistant to Glea
son. The lineup for the Oklahoma
game Saturday will be as follows:
Student section Duke Gleason.
Bill Bradley, and Morris Roberts;
reserved section Emmett Junge,
head leader, Owens and Kamm, as
sistants. Phil Sidles was picked out
of the freshmen competitors -as
yearling leader.
These selections are only tempo
rary and the ability shown in Satur
day's game will prove their perman
ency, the committee says. Some of
the other men who showed out -standing
ability may be called upon to fill
vacancies within the next few weeks.
New Pastor to Speak
at Y.M.C.A. Meeting
Dr. C. C Travis, new pastor at
the Grace M. E. church of Lincoln,
will speak at the second regular
Y.M.CA. meeting Friday noon. A
fifteen minute sing led by Merle
