Nebraska Makes First Entry on
New Page in Her Athletic History
The University of Nebraska made
the first entry on a new page in her,
athletic history last Saturday. The
new Memorial Stadium saw its first
game. Although the official dedica
tion of the new field is to be held
this week at tie Kansas-Nebraska
game, about 10,000 Husker rooters
celebrated the unofficial opening of
the structure. The band, the Corn
cobs, the cheerleaders, the quartet,
"id the old-time Nebraska spirit
ere strikingly apparent.
The game started at 2 o'clock with
the east stand completely filled and
that on the west side about half f ulL
Several thousand youngsters who
were admitted free under the direc
tion of the Boy Scouts, lined the end
the gridiron. The cheer leaders
were at once busy wanning up the
student section on the locomotive"
and the famous "No. one." The first
selection cf the band, "There 11 Be
Hot Time in the Old Town To
night," came soon after.
The psychology of the first quarter
not difficula to follow. The
crowds were slow to warm up, slow
to catch the spirit, and slow to re
alize that Nebraska had a real team.
Lck of spectacular runs or grand
stand playi were largely 'responsible.
After the first three points the ther
Professor Frederick A. Stuff will
speak on "The Individual in Rela
tion to His Group" at the Vesper
service tonight in Ellen Smith hall.
Gertrude Tomson will lead the meet
ing. Special provision is being made
to arrange for adequate seating
room.
Music by Mayme Pecha will pre
ceed the service. Frances Weintz,
Charlotte Baker, Margaret Drum
mond, Helen Guthrie and Laura
Whelpley will be hostesses.
"0" OFFERS LOW RATE
FOR HOMECOMING DAY
One and a Half Fares for
Round Trip; Return Limit
October 19.
A special round trip rate of one
and a half fares for Homecoming
day, Saturday, October 20, will be
made by the Burlington railroad
from all points in Nebraska. Other
roads running into Lincoln are ex
pected to follow the "Q's" lead. The
tickets will go on sale October 19
and 20. The final return limit is
October 21 with a possibility that it
will be extended to the 22nd.
This is the first time that rail
roads have ever granted a special
rate to Nebraska homecoming alumni.
This year's action was due largely
to the efforts of W. S. Whitten, sec
retarv of the Lincoln Chamber of
Commerce, who telegraphed to Chi
cago headquarters of the Burlington
and negotiated the convention rate.
Similar reduced rates have been
made bv Kansas railroads in the
past for Kansas University homecom
ing on Thanksgiving day.
Attendance at the game Saturday
is expected to be greater than ever
before on account of the reduced
railroad fares and the ample accom
odations in the new stadium.
Observatory Open
to Public Tuesday
The University Observatory will
be open to the public Tuesday, Oc
tober 16, from 7 to 10 p. m., if the
skies are clear for a view of the
moon. At 8 o'clock there will be a
lecture on "The Recent Total
Eclipse," The observatory will be
open, every third Tuesday evening
of each month this winter for a
brief lecture at 8 o'clock, and if the
skies are clear the telescope may be
used before and after the lecture.
Have More '27 Pins.
Freshmen! Have you lost youlr
green buttons? Call at Miss Apple
by's office in Ellen Smith hall and
get one. Every freshman girl must
wear the green 27 until the Olymp
ics when she may discard it if the
class wins the meet-
mometer mounted several degrees
and with the first touchdown the ex
citement increased.
In the second quarter the crowd
watched the start of the cross-coun-
, m S 1
trv run. At the ball tne wmcoo.
sprung their first stunt of the year.
The first act pictured Governor wai-
ton of Oklahoma in violent pursuit
of the ku klux. Suddenly there ap
peared on the scene, the state mili
tia to assist that governor and then
the University of Oklahoma came to
the rescue. To settle the whole con
troversy, out rushed Nebraska and
,. rrncobs to hoe-tie the contend
ers and sweep them off the field.
Later the governor, the K. K- tue
.n;ti- and the University of Okla
homa amed "The Four Horsemen
of Oklahoma" were competed to
pull "the Nebraska machine" in a
trip around the field.
Interest during the tLird and
fourth quarters ran high. Long runs
and a series of passes brought the
crowd to its feet every few minutes.
The students , and citizens, who
were in the stadium for the first time
seemed well pleased with tbe struc
ture and the ease with w they
caw the plays. Many remained aler

lery of the University from October
15 until November 15.

J. Alden Weir in New York and at
the Julien Academy and the Ecole
des Beaux Arts in Paris.

Girl's Cornhusker
Held in Armory
The girl's Cornhusker luncheon
needs no introduction to upperclass
men. They know that it is an an
nual event, a tradition for girls
alone, always held on Homecoming
day. They remember that it used
to be held at the Lincoln hotel, that
500 girls was the maximum number
that ever could attend, and that there
were always disappointed co-eds who
could not go. They could tell the
freshmen many glorious tales of
past Cornhusker luncheons.
But this year it is going to be
"bigger and better" than ever be
fore. In the fust place it will be
held in the Armory , where at least
750 girls can be accommodated. In
the second place, the all-University
party decoration committee is co-operating
with the W. S. G. A- board
to make the place "a thing of beau
ty," fit to be the scene of such wn
event. In the third place, the girl's
Cornhusker luncheon, being held on
the campus, will be more than ever
PRIZE FOR HOUSE
ADORNED BEST ON
HOMECOMING DAY
"Red" Long of College Book
Store Offers Lettered Skin
. rr- t r ::
io vt inner oi vouiiciiuv)t
GREEK ORGANIZATIONS
AND "DORMS" ELIGIBLE
Innocents, in Charge of Con
test, Will Appoint a' Com
mittee to aid in the Judging.
A contest for the best decorated
fraternity or sorority house or dormi
tory will be held next Saturday for
the homecoming game. "Red" Long
of the College Book Store is offer
ing a skin, similar to the ones given
for track and basketball champion
ships, for the best decorated house.
The Innocents Society is in charge
of the contest and will appoint a com
mittee to assist Mr. Long in the
judging. This is the first year that
this plan has been put on a competi
tive basis and should furnish a real
outlet for the artistic minds at the
various houses.
There have been decorations on
the houses in the past few years but
a prize has never been offered. Prac
tically every school in the Missouri
Valley conducts a contest similar to
this on Homecoming day and the
Innocents expect to make this a per
manent tradition at Nebraska.
No organization is expected to
spend a large sum of money for the
decorations; the judging will be
based on the cleverness and original
ity of the ideas presented.
Every organization on the cam
pus is expecting a large number of
alumni to return for the homecom
ing game and the decorated houses
should furnish some attraction for
all visitors from Kansas.
With special trains coming from
Omaha and a large crowd of out-of-town
visitors here to see the Corn
husker and Kansas elevens in action,
the gaily decorated fraternity and
sorority houses and dormitories will
play an important part in the day's
program. More announcements con
cerning the decorating of the houses
will be made in the Daily Nebraskan
in a few days.
Athletic Ticket Sale
Over State Is Heavy
The individual ticket sale to alum
ni and football fans out over the
state has been heavy, according to
the student activities office. The
ticket office at Latsch Brothers re
ports a steady sale of tickets for all
the games.
Sections "J," "H," "G," "E," and
"K" are sold up to the thirty-third
row. These reservations comprise
over 3,000 seats. There remain
enough good seats to accommodate
the expected crowds, however. The
thirty-third to forty-seventh rows in
all sections and the balcony sections
are still unreserved. Reservations
should be made at once as they are
filled in the order that the checks
are received.
Luncheon to be
Homecoming Day
a school function, and it will be
much easier to reach the stadium.
Never before have such extensive
plans been laid. Special tables are
being constructed for the occasion.
Truck loads of flowers, favors, and
food have been ordered. The Scar
let and Cream will be carried out in
decorations; the stadium idea will be
used in the toast lists. Every girl
will receive red and white flowers
along with favors and serpentine to
throw at ihe game. On the whole it
will be the best luncheon staged in
recent years add by far the largest.
Tickets are on sale at Ellen Smith
hall between 11 and 1 o'clock, and
5 o'clock today and tomorrow, and
according to Ruth Carpenter, general
chairman, are being sold fast. They
are 75 cents this year, because ol
