Co-eds Urged to Write.
Nearly every fraternity on the

fathers visiting their members in the
evening, and special events are being
prepared for them.
It has been suggested by members
of the committee that co-eds should
also write their dads inviting them
down for the day. While the ban
quet at noon is to be strictly a men's
affair, it is possible for the fathers
of the girls to buy their football tick
ets in advance and attend the gp.me
with their daughters.
"And it's perfectly all right if
'mother conies, too," committee
members said.

Y, W. G. A. BUDGET FOR
1923-24 IS $1700
Finance Staff, Under Frances
Mentzer, Estimates Total
Expenses at $3,300.
The Y. W. C. A. budget for the
year 1923-24 has been made by
the finance staff under the direction
of Frances Mentzer, finance chair
man. The total to be raised on the
campus from members of the organ
ization is $1,700.
The social service staff under Mar
garet Hager needs for its American
ization, girl reserve, and other work
outside of its self-supporting activi
ties, $100. This department in con
nection with the city Y. W., C. A.
is carrying out one of the most ex
tensive programs of its kind in the
United States. The secretary's sal
ary is $1,800 and the conference fund
for sending three official delegates to
the annual conference calls for $250.
The conference staff under Lila Wy-
man supplements this amount with
money made at special sales.
Expenses of the office under Helen
Kummer, publicity under Julia Shel
don, and printing are estimated at
$300.
Parties and teas for all University
women cost the social committee
$250. Fifty dollars are allowed for
furnishings which include song books,
book cases, and files.
','The Woman's Press" and other
printed material for the reading
room cost $25 for the year. A con
tingent fund of $100 is allowed for
unclassified expenses.
Every local organization helps sup
port national headquarters. The
University organization's allotment
for this year is $300. Twenty-five
dollars have been assigned Vesper
choir for music.
Out of town speakers will be a
necessary item this year because
most local men and women have
spoken. One hundred dollars are set
aside for their expenses.
Totalling the above gives $3,300,
but the community chest is giving
$1,600 to the support of the Univer
sity organization so that the amount
to be raited is $1,700.

Nebraskans Today
Free copies of the Nebraskan
and envelopes will be given to
every student from booths on the
campus Monday. All that is re
quired is that the address to
"Dad" be written on the envelope
and a stamp affixed. It's an easy
thing to do, members of the com
mittee feel, and may make "Dad"
feel "pretty good."
"But do more than that after

NEBRASKA, LINCOLN,
Son John Invites His Father
to Come Down for Dad's Day
Lincoln, October 28.
Dear Dad: f
Just a few lines to let you know that you are invited
to be here for Dad's Day and the Notre Dame football
game. They're both a week from Saturday, November 10.
The fathers are to be guests of the students and if you
can arrange things so as to be here you'll honor a proud
son.
A big luncheon in tho Armory will keep us busy
around noon, and among t1 ; oeakers will be Dr. George
P. Shidler of York, a grer . u ig men's enthusiast, Cap
tain Lewellen of the football team, and other in
teresting men.
This is not the first time the old "U of N" has hon
ored the men's fathers. Dad's Day is an annual event.
Right after the luncheon we're all going to the foot
ball field to see Ihe 1923 Cornhuskers in action. This
game will be good from the start and the athletic depart
ment has reserved a section in our new stadium just for
the fellows and their dads.
Think this over, dad, and if there is a possible
chance of your coming down, try to be here. Let me
hear from you soon and come down to see me the tenth.
Your son,
JOHN.
Girls Urged to Invite
Fathers to Dad's Day
It has been suggested that Uni
versity girls may just as well write
their fathers and invite them down
for "Dad's'Day," November 10.
While the banquet in the Armory
at noon is for men only, the girls'
fathers can enjoy the game with their
daughters, as they may buy their t'ck
ets in advance and sit with the girls
at the game.
BEGIN PREPARATIONS
FOR SWIMMING TEAM
Coach Plans to Call Meeting of
All Men Interested in
Tank Sport
Swimming Coach Frank Adkins
plans to call a meeting of all men
interested in the varsity swimming
team soon. Several Missouri Valley
conference schools will be on the
schedule when it is completed.
Among them will probably be the
Kansas Aggies, Iowa State, and also
the Omaha Athletic Club, all of whom
Nebraska has met in the last three
years.
Three leter men from last year
will try for positions on the team this
year. They are: Jack Graebing, who
was captain last year; Frank Hunton,
captain elect for this year; and Dan
Reed. The squad lost two men by
graduation, Neal Philips and George
Lindley. The loss of Philips will be
felt keenly as he was the fancy diver
of the team, and won every diving
contest in the three years he was out.
However, there is a lot of promising
material for this year's team, among
them being Jack Hunton who won the
third Western A. A. U. meet last
spring at Omaha. Hunton was in
eligible for the team last year be
cause he was only a freshman.
Swimming as a sport at Nebraska
is handicapped greatly by the lack of
a swimming pool. At present the
teams hold practices at the Y. M. C.
A. downtown, where the swimming
classes are held also. The sport has
been increasing in popularity each
year, since it was first organized
three years ago. This fall there
arc fifty-six students registered in
two University swimming classes
which meet at the Y. M. C. A. Frank
Hunton, captain elect of the swim
ming team, is instructor of one of
the classes, and Jack Hunton has the
other.

STUDENTS FAIL
TO PAY NOTES
NOWOVER-DUE
Officials Say Stadium Is Mort
gaged; Will Be Lost if Pay
ments Are Not Met.
ONLY 400 OF 4,500 WHO
PLEDGED KEEP PROMISE
Students are not paying their sta
dium pledges nearly as fast as they
should, according to the Nebraska
Memorial Association, which is now
conducting a campaign for the pay
ment of the second installments of
the pledges.
The campaign for stadium pledges
which started last Monday has moved
only 400 of the 4,500 students who
owe the memorial association money
to make good their promises of a
year ago.
"Results of the campaign for sta
dium payments are far from satis
factory," memorial association offi
cials frankly confessed Saturday af
ternoon. "We had expected that
virtually all of the second payments
on student pledges would be cleared
up during the week but at the rate
students are responding to our call
it looks as though they are going
to have to be urged in a much more
forceful manner than that of the
voluntary campaign plan which we
are attempting.
Reiponded in Campaign.
"During the campaign for funds a
year ago, students were moved by
the 'smoke of battle,' and responded
in a most splendid manner. Under
the heat of the campaign, all students
were willing to sacrifice in order that
Nebraska might have her stadium;
all were stirred with a feeling of
patriotism that was indeed fine.
"Now, when the payment of those
pledges is being called for, students
do not seem so patriotic. They seem
to think that they can pay when they
feel like it. That is not the case.
The payments on the pledges, which
are in truth promissory notes and
collectable under the law, must be
paid when due. The second install
ment is due now and it must be paid.
Stadium Unpaid For.
"The stadium is a mortgaged piece
of property. It stands on ground
belonging to the University, and the
memorial association must meet every
cent of its obligation if the stadium
is ever to become a real part of the
University equipment. Shouid the
payments fail to be met, the stadium
and .all of the ground on whxh it
stands would have to be sacrificed.

Missouri Scores First; Lewel

Scarlet Only Score.
MUD HANDICAPS FAST
NEBRASKA BACKFIELD
By John Hollingsworth.
COLUMBIA, Mo., Oct. 27. (Spe
cial to the Nebraskan). The Uni
versity of Missouri football team
wrote its name in blazing letters in
the hall of football fame here this
afternoon when it held the invad
ing Cornhusker machine to a 7 to
7 tie.
The muddy field handicapped the
fast Cornhusker backs, who had to be
content with short gains thru the
line. Big Dave Noble, who crashed
through the Tiger line for gain after
gain, besides making a spectacular
forty-three yard run, shared honors
for the Husker team with Captain
Lewellen, who intercepted a Tiger
pass and ran seventy yards for the
only Nebraska score. The playing
of Bond and Moulder in the Tiger
backfield was the sensation of the
game.
Missouri Score.
Missouri kicked off to Nebraska
who was forced to punt. The punt
by Wier was blocked, and it was
Missouri's ball on Nebraska's 26
yard line. A clever pass from Moul
der to Hennessey put the ball on
Husker 6 yard line, and Bond car
ried it over on the first play, fol
lowed by a successful goal kick, mak
ing the score Missouri 7, Nebraska 0,
before the game was five minutes old.
Missouri again kicked off to Ne
braska, Hartman returning the kick
off twenty-seven yards. Here Cap
tain Lewellen, who had been ordered
to stay out of the game because of
injuries, replaced Hartman in the
Nebraska lineup. Lewellen punted
far down the field. Missouri took the
ball and tried a forward pass on the
first play.
Lewellen Scores for Nebraska.
Captain Lewellen of Nebraska
took the ball almost from the hands
of the waiting Tiger and by a bril
liant seventy yard run, in which he
dodged two tacklers, planted the oval
behind the Missouri goal posts for
the only Scarlet and Cream tally of
the game. Dewitz kicked goal and
the score was tied, 7 to 7.
Big Dave Noble ushered in the sec
ond period of the contest with a
brilliant end run which netted the
Huskers forty-three yards and put
the pigskin on the Tiger 6 yard yine,
but the Huskers could not shove the
ball over the final chalk mark. Dur
ing the remainder of the second pe
riod, Nebraska outplayed trie Tigers
consistently, but lost their punch
whenever they got within the Tiger
20 yard line. Another feature of
