freshman rally which will mark the
limax of "Freshman Week" which

The purpose of "Freshman Week"
i. rivo the first-year students an
opportunity to show their loyalty and
patriotism to ine vunmuanvi
L ioHrinff a unit to Nebraska's me
morial stadium. All new students at
Nebraska who are not freshmen may
also take advantage of this oppor
tunity to show that '.they have the
true Cornhusker spirit.
Thfl speakers at the rally will be
n.v CrmHo nnd Dr. Condra. The
luatu u'-"1""'
rest of the program will help make
the rally produce a lasting and forci
ble impression on every freshman's
memory.
The rally will not be in the nature
of a drive. A freshman should feel
Ant it is a real privilege to be given
the chance to help build Nebraska's
memorial stadium as those who made
pledges1 last year do. With 1,900
freshmen in school and 300 new up
per classmen, the block of 1,127 units
of $25 each cannot last long, so that
the holder of one of them may feel
that he has been very fortuttate. '
Pledges are paid in installments of
five dollars for each unit held, at in
tervals of six months after the first
payment is made. This arrange
ment avoids all financial hardship
for the pledger and makes it possible
for any student to help build the
stadium.
The organizations in charge of the
personal campaigning, for Freshman
Week are the Innocents, Black
Masque, Vikings, and Silver Serpents.
Every freshman will be personally in
terviewed and given a chance to
pledge one or more units of $25 each.
The committees '.will work" until
Thursday night when the final com
mittee meeting will be held. Each
member will interview ten freshmen.
TO HAVE ORGANIZED
CHEERING SECTION
One Thousand Students to Sit
in Body at Notre Dame
Game.
One thousand cadets will compose
an organized cheerine- section at the
Notre Dame game a week from Sat
urday. These men have volunteered
and have pledged themselves to co
operate with the cheerleaders in
every possible way. They will sit in
body in the student section.
The poor cheering at previous
games has clearly demonstrated the
need of some such organization.
"What we need," said Monroe
Gleason, head cheerleader, "is a body
of men who will yell, and yell for
all they are worth, whenever a yell
is called for. We meed men who will
devote their attention to the yell
while it is being given, no matter
hat is happening on the field. With
a thoroughly organized rooting sec
tion, we will be able to put our yells
across in a way that should instill
light in the team when it is needed."
vA11 men who volanteerea' to join
this section are expected to report in
uniform to Nebraska hall at 1:30
the faternoon of the game. Over 500
cadets have already volunteered and
is expected that the section will be
'"led within a few days. '

Collection of Supermen From
Notre Dame is Not Invincible
It Must Be Done!
With the number of seat reservations already sur
passing all previous records of Nebraska football, it is
probable that 30,000 persons will watch the Cornhuskers
of 1923 block the victorious onrush of Rockne's Irishmen
from Notre Dame.
I Not alone will Nebraska lovers of the pigskin sport
scan every play of our team the nation will be sizing
up Ncbraskaj East and west, north and south, followers
and critics of football will observe with supreme interest
Notre Dame's attempt at revenge for the Cornhusker
victory of last year. .
Thirty-three years of honorable football history
have lent to the University a notable prestige, which goes
on trial November 10.
Eleven men in moleskins are not the sole defenders
of this reputation. Every student, every alumnus, and
every friend of Nebraska must contribute to the defense
of this prestige by unswarving loyalty. This University
implores a victory and demands a united Husker spirit.
We must not fail!
Beat Notre Dame!
SPECIAL TRAIN MAY
RUN TO AMES GAME
Necessary for 125 to Sign Be
fore Train Can Be
x Assured.
A special train will be run to
Ames for the game there November
17 if 125 students sign up before
then. Negotiations are now being
made for the price which will be at
a very reduced rate. The project is
being managed by Herbert Gish, as
sistant to the athletic director and
Carl Kruger, member of the Inno
cents.
The train will leave Lincoln early
on the morning of Saturday, Novem
ber 17, and will arrive in Ames in
time for the students to eat lunch
and get to the game which starts at
2:30. The train will leave Ames not
long after the game.
The Ames game is the last game
which the Cornhusker squad plays
away from home, and the only game
for which a special train is run this
year. The full particulars regarding
the price and time of departure will
be published in the Daily Nebraskan
Sunday.
Y. II DRIVE FOR FUNDS
STILL. SHORT OF GOAL
Total of $800 Reported Sub'
scribed by Thursday
noon.
From Teports emanating from the
east, many Cornhuskers have re
ceived the impression that the Notre
Dne football squad is composed of
eleven ilercules and Mercuries judi
ciously distributed. They tell of the
superhuman speed of the fleet backs;
how with winged feet they swing
around opposing ends for ninety and
hundred vard runs for touchdowns;
hnw their line is an exact reproduc
tion of he proverbial stone wall, and
how the "master mind" oi juiate
Rockne controls every shift and punt.
We've heard a lot of master minds
recently. Take the "master minr
f Jnhn McGraw. for example. John
was supposed to be able to think his
way into the world's series champion
ship. He didn't. Neither will iuiute
Rockne's subtle cerebellum enable
Notre Dame to dofeat Nebraska.
p.meitiW. Cornhuskers, this
"wonder team," this idealized squad
of supermen, of "born" football men,
; ttt A f!TT,Y THE SAME OUTFIT
NEBRASKA DEFEATED DECIS-
tvttt.Y TJIST FALL. With the same
spirit and backing that the students
exhibited last year, NEBRASKA
SHOULD, AND IS GOING TO, RE
PEAT THE PERFORMANCE THIS
FALL.
Last year these "calamity howlers"
with wry faces -predicted what the
"Fighting Irish" would do to Ne
braska. It is a matter of record that
they didn't do anything except come
out second. Every loyal University
of Nebraska student must not only
disregard the repeated wail of dire
foreboding this year, but must be
solely motivated by the firm convic
tion that the Cornhuskers are going
to repeat. Grind this into your soul
and let your confidence remain un
shaken. Nebraska MUST and SHALL de
feat Notre Dame November 10.
Let's have a revival of the won
derful spirit of last year. It is your
duty as a CORNHUSKER to add to
the swelling chorus of confidence
and conviction. You as an integral
part of the University must do your,
part toward making another Webraska
victory a reality. It can and will be
done.
BEAT NOTRE DAME!
Eight hundred dollars was the total
reported at the luncheon of the Y
M. C. A. drive workers yesterday
noon. Although this figure was a
little disappointing to those in charge
of the drive it is still hoped that the
final checkup this noon will show
that the quota of $1,925 has been
reached. Every team member is ex
pected to be present at the final
luncheon at the Grand hotel this
noon.
The first team to "go over the top"
was Monroe Gleason's with a total
of $103.50 to its credit. The teams
captained by Dendell Brown and
Crawford Follmer were also near the
head of the list.
"The chief difficulty," said W.
Paul McCaffree, general secretary of
the Y. M. C. A., "is that the workers
are jiot seeing enough men. To date
less than 500 students have been
asked to subscribe. The success of
this drive is mainly a question of
seeing the men."
Dr: Paul Johnson, pastor of the
Westminster church, spoke at the
meeting yesterday noon. He said
that the chief factors in making a
drive of this kind successful were
patience, perseverance and co-operation.
-Chemistry Notes
A new book by Dr. H. G. Deming
of the Chemistry Department has
proved quite a success. The book,
"General Chemistry," published by
Wiley and Sons of New York City,
although published only three months
ago, has been adopted by thirty-one
colleges and universities. The first
edition has already sold out. Dr,
Deming, in collaboration with S. D
Arenson, is now preparing a labora
tory manual to be used in conjunc
tion with his book.
Riley Accepts Call
to Columbus Church
Rev. W. H. Riley, Congregational
student pastor, has resigned his po
sition to accept an offer to become
pastor of the Federated Church at
Columbus. His resignation will take
effect as soon as his work can be
arranged and a successor named. It
is expected that his successor will be
appointed within a few days.
Rev. Riley came here from Weep
ing Water, where he was pastor of
the Congregational church. He had
held his position here for a little
more than a year.

VARSITY WORKS
AGAINST PLAYS
USEDBY IRISH
Huskers Solve and Break Up
Notre Dame Formations
Thursday.
FRESHMEN UNABLE TO
GAIN IN SCRIMMAGE
The solving and breaking up of
Notre Dame plays and formations
were the main features on Thursday's
practise sheet for the Cornhuskers.
Two teams of varsity players and
two teams of freshmen aspirants
were in action for almost two hours
each team hitting with all the driv
ing power it could muster.
The freshmen, coached by Farley
Young, Owen Frank, and Captain
Hagan, have mastered the Notre
Dame plays and formations almost to
perfection and at times they would
make some good gains through the
varsity line on trick plays but never
were they able to make a yard around
the ends. McAllister and Collins
held down the wing positions on one
team and Rhodes and Robertson ran
them on the other squad.
Shifty line bucks and crass charges
were the only means the frosh had
of collecting a yard or so from the
varsity forwards, and soon the yard
age was accounted for mainly by the
short aerial method. When the var
sity would take the ball they would
plow right through the yearling line
for yardage on almost every down.
Every man in the varsity backfields
broke away for a touchdown some
time during the practise.
The two varsity teams that were
in action Thursday night were:
Team "A" Team "B"
Rhodes -le Collins
Weir It Hendrickson
Berquist lg Armstrong
Hutchison c Westapoul
Packer rg Ogden
Bassett .rt Halbersleben
Roberston re McAllister
Capt. Lewellen ..qb Bloodgood
Noble In Crites
H. Dewitz rh Melenz
R. Dewitz fb Locke
The Nebraska squad is working
and grinding the hardest now that
a team ever did and results are be
ginning to show. The line is taking
care of itself both in offense and de
fense, the backfield is getting their
interference down so there is sel
dom a lineman or an end cutting in
and registering a loss. Interference
is the main thing necessary for end
runs and the varsity are mastering
that art in commendable fashion.
When the Irish from South Bend hit
Lincoln they are going to be given
a couple good chances to show some
of that speed they are noted for.
Each team has a litle stuff they
haven't uncovered so far this season
but have been holding over for this
special occasion when the hereditary
gridiron enemies meet in their an
nual battle.
