DEDICATORY ADDRESS
Kansas and Nebraska Bands
Conduct Flag-raising Cere
mony Assisted by Firing
Squad from Cadet Regiment.
Five thousand students, faculty,
and alumni attended the dedication
of Nebraska's new memorial stadium
Saturday morning at the east side
of the structure. Dr. C. R. Rich
ards, who delivered the dedicatory
address, and Senator C. B. Carney
of Kansas were introduced by Chan
cellor S. Avery who expressed the
appreciation of those in charge for
generous contributions which made
the stadium possible.
The Kansas and Nebraska univer
sity bands, assisted by a firing squad
and color squad from the Nebraska
R.O.T.C. unit, conducted an im
pressive flag-raising ceremony and
concluded the dedication by playing
"The Star Spangled Banner."
"I heartily congratulate the Uni
versity of Nebraska on its fine new
Memorial Stadium," said Dr. Charles
Euss Richards, former dean of the
Nebraska College of Engineering, in
the principal address. "I have al
ways been interested in sports, and
I know of the advantages and the
disadvantages of it. I think that in
the last few years there has been a
slow but steady improvement in the
morals connected with the games,"
he continued.
"Athletics must be taken seriously
by all university authorities, be
cause they have their place in every
university in the country. I have
kifown of University of Nebraska
athletics from almost the very be
ginning," said Dr. Richards. He then
told of the athletic field and the
various sports as they were in the
old days.
"And now after all of these pio
neer days, the University has met to
dedicate this new stadium. It is a
memorial to the Nebraska men who
upheld the honor of their country in
the great war. There could be no
greater and more fitting monument
than this," continued the former Ne
braska dean.
"The completion of the stadium
marks a new era in the loyalty and
affection of the alumni for their
old alma mater. It is too easy for
students tnd alumni to take the
University too much for granted.
The generous contributions show a
feeling of loyalty and responsibility
among the alumni.

FOUR LAW STUDENTS
GIVEN SCHOLARSHIPS
Toft, Hanson, Lind and Matzke
Receive Awards Valued
at $75 a Year.
(University News Service)
Four scholarships have been given
to deserving students in the College
of Law of the University of Nebraska
by the Board of Regents. This prac
tice of assisting students whose schol
arship record is above the average
and who can qualify as deserving was
authorized and first used in the fall
of 1922. These scholarships excuse
students from the payment of 'fees
but entail no further monetary con
sideration. Each scholarship is val
ued at approximately $75 a year.
Scholarships were awarded to:
Gaylord A. Toft, '25, Oak.
Fred T. Hanson, '25, Bertrand.
Clarence S. Lind, '24, Arcadia.
Stanley A. Matzke, '24, Milford.
All students in the college, except
ing freshmen, are eligible, but in
order to be considered, they must r.p
ply to the College of Law faculty. In
turn the requests are forwarded to
the Board of Regents. Because the
fees are higher in the Law College
than in others, promising students
M7hn mitrht otherwise be unable to
proceed with their work are preserved
to the profession, accoraing 10 wan
Warren A. Seavey. The granting of
scholarships also encourages harder
work by the students.
Beginning with the granting of the
cum laude degree in 1921, the Col
i00. Law has continually put
-'more stress upon scholastic standing
and has encouraged woctny Etuaenw

Sigma Alpha Epsilon ws awarded

Practically every organization on
the campus had some sort of decora
tions up and the contest was a great
success for the first year. xThere was
a great deal of comment on the house
decorations from the Kansas visitors
and the old grads. The spirit of
homecoming was exemplified by all
the organizations in their decorations.
The winner's decorations consisted
of goal posts in the front yard
wrapped in the colors of Kansas and
Nebraska and were very realistic in
their appearance. Streamers were
stretched from the posts to the bal
cony of the house.- A Kansas and Ne
braska football player flanked each
side of the porch and a sign with
"Boy, Howdy" on. it-graeted vryU
one who went up on the porch. Red
lights were strung around all the
decorations.
The Phi Psi house was very well
decorated as were the Beta and Sig
Ep houses. Among the sororities the
Kappas and Delta Gammas carried
off the honors. Next year it is hoped
that a prize can be offered for both
the sororities and fraternities. A
cup or some permanent traveling
prize will be offered.

Kosmet and in the past the contest
has met with a good response from
students. The prize last year was

HUSKERS LACK PUNCH
IN CRITICAL MOMENTS
Comparative Statistics Show
That Nebraska Outplayed
Jayhawkers in All Depart
ments of Game.
Before a crowd of twenty thou
sand enthusiastic football followers
the Nebraska Cornhuskers and the
Kansas Jayhawkers battled for sixty
minutes without either team receiv
ing a reckoning in the scoring col
umn. Twice the Cornhuskers had
the ball within touching distance of
a toucdown but lacked the scoring
punch.
Although neither team scored, the
comparative statistics show that the
Huskers had the best of the argu
ment in all departments of the game.
Both teams played a wonderful de
fensive game. Twice Kansas was
forced within her own five yard line
but she held the charging Huskers.
Nebraska's defense was good thruout
the game and it was this strong de
fense on the part of the Huskers
that was responsible for Kansas col
lecting but two first downs. At one
time, by a thrilling forward pass, the
Ja3'hawks carried the ball into sensi
tive territory but the Huskers took
the ball on downs and brought it
back to the middle of the field.
Nebraska's defense was featured
by Ed Weir, sophomore tackle. In
one play when Rufus Dewitz passed
to Rhodes a Kansas man tried to
ground the pass but Weir scooped
the ball and placed it eighteen yards
closer to a touchdown. He also re
covered a fumbled punt that netted
forty yards. In the fourth quarter
when Kansas was threatening, he
broke through and threw Black, the
Kansas captain, for a sixteen yard
loss on an attempted pass.
The line plunging of Dave Noble
was the big noise in the Husker of
fense, Big Dave was registering in
the yardage column every time he
took the ball. The Dewitz brothers
played a consistent line plunging
game. Locke contributed some spec
tacular end runs that added mate
rially to the Hu1 ker's advance.
Kansas started the battle by kick
ing off to Rhodes who returned ten
yards. The Nebraskans promptly car
ried the' ball down the field to the
Kansas 15 yard line but there the ad
vance was halted and the visitors
tried to advance but were forced to
kick. When Nebraska again re-
