EACH CLASS IS
SURE OFVICTORY
Fir,t.year Men Are Confident
They Will Burn Caps at
Syracuse Game.
ROTHWOODARD AND
WEIR SAY WILL WIN
'Will the freshmen burn their
ee caps at the Syracuse game?" is
paramount question of the day for
nderclassmen. One group , of stu
dents says, "Yes," and another em
phatically says, "No."
"With the points divided as they
ire and with most o f the events hav
ing even-numbered sides, I see no rea
wn why the sophomores can't win,"
Marion Woodard, sophomore presi
dent, said yesterday. "If the class
ts out in a body for the pole rush,
I im sure that we will win."
Freshmen Confident.
"Of course the freshmen will win,"
Joe Weir, chairman of the freshman
Olympics committee, said confidently.
"They have won nearly' every year
since the Olympics were held and this
year will be no exception. They've
got the spirit and they're going to
fight"
The Olympics will start Saturday
morning at 9 o'clock with the relay
race. After the relay, comes the
wrestling events with three different
weights, the tub-of-war, the boxing
matches with three different weights,
and the push ball. All of these events
last event, the pole or flag rush, will
will be staged in the stadium. The
be held on the drill field north of
Social Science. . .
Dr. Clapp is to judge the wrestling
matches will be 10 minute decision
or one fall. The boxing matches will
eacb be a three z-minute rouna de
cision or a knockout.
Only One "Mob" Event.
The pole rush is the only "mob"
event. All those present will get into
this fray for ten minutes. There will
twenty-five on each side for the push
ball This event will also last ten
minutes. Ten huskies will be on each
tug-of-war team.
The pole rush, the grand finale of
the Olympics, is usually won by the
freshmen because of their numbers,
but it will be harder this year be
cause of a change in the height of
the pole. It will be twelve feet above
the ground this year.
Both of the classes are asking the
underclasswomen to come out and
urge on the men of their class.

Seven regular of even
Fighting Cornhusker who
faced Notre Dame in that mem
orable Husker victory are on
the injured list. These men
are hurt, hurt to that they can
not play the game a -they
played against the Irish, if
perchance they get into the
game at all!
At the best, but a few of
them can play! The places of
the others will be filled by sub
stitutes, green men. in strange
positions.
Fighters? Yes, every one of
them.
If the student body will fight
behind them, these injured men
will fight to forget their hurts
and the green men will become
fighting regulars!
Nebraska is calling for fight
ers! CORNHUSKER BANQUET

COMPANIES INCREASE
PLEDGES TO STADIUM
Military Department Conduct
Competition Among Cadet
to Raise Fund.
Pledges to the stadium fund were
greatly increased last week by a drive
conducted through the military de
partment in the form of a competi
tion among all the companies of the
regiment. The quota for each com
pany was figured on the same basis
that the quota of 1127 units was ar
rived at for the entire freshman lass.
Competition between companies
was keen, nearly every man working
for the honor of his company. With
eleven of the thirteen companies over
the top, the final standing is as fol
lows: Company A 92 per cent
Company B 100 per cent
Company C. 105 per cent
Company D 87 per cent
Company E - 103 per cent
Company F , 109 per cent

RALLY FRIDAY TO
PREPARE FOR FOE
Team Will Attend; Corncobs
to Give Stunt; Three
Speakers.
GATHERING TO BE
HELD ON CAMPUS
"To help peel the 'Orange,' " Ne
braska's greatest rally will be held
Friday night, at 7 o'clock, north of
the Administration building. Corn
cobs will pull off a stunt before the
rally starts. The team will be pres
ent, the band will play a few spirit
arousing selections, and students are
to sing the Syracuse "national"
anthem. Those who will speak are
Coach Fred Dawson, Captain Verne
Lewellen, and Professor R. D. Scott.
That the team needs the unquali
fied support of every student was the
statement made by Coach Dawson
yesterday. "Unqualified support"
means spirit untouched by any class
factionalism. Every sophomore and
every freshman should attend, say
committeemen, and lend the team
every ounce of spirit he possesses.
As a part of the welcoming pro
gram extended to the Orange, the
Syracuse school anthem will be sung
by the assembled students. Five thou
sand copies of the song are being
mimeographed.
Not for many games has a rally
been held on the campus proper.
There is a sentiment connected with
rallying on the campus at night that
is expected to intensify the spirit of
backing the team.
A large platform will be con
structed just north of the Adminis
tration building, and temporary seats
will be erected to hold the team mem
bers.
SEAT SALE FOR GAME
WITH SYRACUSE BRISK
Mr. Selleck Says Entire 25,000
Seats May Be Filled by
Saturday.
The ticket sale for the Syracuse
game is progressing rapidly and it
looks as if the 25,000 seats sched
uled to be completed by that time will
be filled easily, according to John
K. Selleck, athletic treasurer. The
sale is progressing more rapidly than
it did for the Notre Dame game.
Mr. Selleck estimates that number
of tickets sold already at 18,000. He
does not think that it will be neces
sary to erect the temporary bleachers,
however, because of the thousands of
seats which may be used for the first
time.
All of the Beats in the east balcony
will be completed in time for the
game. All of the seats underneath
the balcony on the west side will also
be completed. This means that the
west side is virtually finished.
Nebraska's Greatest Rally
Co-eds May Organize
Student Voting League
To discuss the possibilities of the
organization of a student league of
women voters in the University about
twenty senior women met Tuesday
evening in the Temple. A mass meet
ing of all women interested in such
an organization will be held as soon
as the constitution can be written, if
the organization is sanctioned by the
committee on student organizations.
The Crisis In Cornhusker History
Twenty-five thousand persons will be in the stadium
to watch the Cornhuskers meet the pride of the East Sat
urday, and there will be about four-fifths of those per
sons who will also be there to watch the nationally
known Nebraska spirit. This is the time for all students
-to give the greatest impression in history.
Nebraska's football team is not in fine shape. The
men are carrying injuries but they will fight with every
bit of fight in them if the students fight with them.
The word Cornhusker stands for fight. It is the
ideal toward which Nebraska strives.
In that game Saturday Nebraska does not say that
she will win. Nebraska merely says that she will con
cede nothing; that she will give the best that she has,
and that when the game ends there will have been one
of the most desperate battles on Nebraska soil.
Nebraska determination will welcome Syracuse, wiH
sing the Syracuse song, and will fight Syracuse.
CRIPPLED SQUAD
BATTLES FROSH
Every Injured Husker but H.
Dewitz and McGlasson to
See Smoke Saturday.
YEARLING TEAM USES
SYRACUSE FORMATIONS
With the big game of the season
but three days away, the patched up
Husker squad is battling away against
the frosh, who have been perfected
in the Syracuse plays. Coach Owen
Frank, who scouted Syracuse games
this year, has a whole bag full of
formations and the crippled Huskers
are working diligently to solve them.
Virtually every injured Husker
with the possible exceptions of Herb
Dewitz and Ross McGlasson will be
able to see smoke in Saturday's bat
tle against Syracuse. Dewitz is in the
Lincoln sanitarium with a muscle
bruise, and McGlasson received a se
vere leg injury in the Ames conflict.
Noble in Uniform.
Dave Noble has been out in mole
skins every night this week but he
has to favor his ankle. Big Dave will
no doubt see action but whether he
will be able to hit top speed is a big
question in training quarters. Rhodes,
Weir, and Berauist were in the scrim
mage Wednesday night and their in
juries are nearly healed. Locke is
still limping from his clipped ankle
but will be able to scrimmage by to
night. The injuries have kept the Huskers
out of practice for the best part of
the week, just when Coach Dawson
was planning on giving them the final
stiff workouts. They will go into
the game Saturday handicapped from
lack of workouts this week.
Syracuse has headed west with a
squad of about twenty warriors, de
termined to down the settlers of the
Irish. They will workout at Stagg
field today and then head for the
Cornhusker camp where they will
take a light workout Friday after
noon.
Orange Are Line Smashers.
The Orange from the East have
the heaviest team the Huskers have
met for some time and Syracuse
plays a smashing game. They de
pend upon straight football for their
gains, and line smashing is their spe
cialty. Just what they will do to
the Husker forward wall remains to
be seen. As for trying the ends their
speed merchants can't be so very
much faster than Don Miller, Layden
and Stuhldreher.
The contest will probably not be
featured by much scoring on either
side. Svracuse is noted for defensive
playing. Each team is doped to fight
to the last minute and, the predic
tions are that the total score will not
be a large one. Past scores are:
Syracuse 10, Nebraska 9.
Syracuse 0, Nebraska 3.
Syracuse 9, Nebraska 6.
Syracuse has scored 230 points to
a meagre 19 points for opponents.
Nebraska has scored 78 to opponents'
52. A resume of Syracuse games fol
lows :
Syracuse 49, Boston U 0.
Syracuse 10, Penn State 0.
Syracuse 44, Springfield 0.
Syracuse 3, Pittsburgh 0.
Syracuse 23, Alabama 0.
Syracuse 61, William and Mary 3.
Syracuse 33, Hobart 0.
Syracuse 7, Colgate 16.
The officials for Saturday's game
are: A. G. Reid, Michigan, referee;
C. J. McCarty, Germantown academy,
umpire; W. J. Crowell, Swarthmore,
field judge; Harry Costello, George
town, head linesman.
Over 150 Tickets
Sold for Kid Party
More than 150 tickets have been
sold for the Kindergarten club kid
party to be held Thursday, November
22, at Ellen Smith hall. The party
will begin with a dinner at 5:30 p.m.,
during which a short program will be
given. The entertainment lor the
evening will consist of games .and
dancing. Prizes are to be given for
the cleverest costumes.
MILITARY CARNIVAL TO
BF FESTIVE OCCASION
Stories of Wild West to Be Seen
at Annual Roundup Are
Told on Campus.
Managers of the military carnival
are completing plans to make the
annual roundup the most unusual
The "PRIDE OF THE EAST"
is steaming toward Cornhusker
land on "Victory Special" with
the GREATEST team of which
Syracuse has ever boasted, a
deadly machine of heavy, pow
erful, fighting-mad, Orange
jersied demons, a team infin
itely greater than the Orange
eleven that defeated Nebraska's
super-team of last year.
This Orange-jersied tide, a
team overflowing with AII
American players, in perfect
conditions fighting made from
the Colgate defeat, can only
be stemmed in one way, by a
fighting student body!
The Nebraska team,
crippled and worn by its super
human efforts of the past few
weeks, is calling on the stu
dent body to rally in this crisis,
to check the threatening
Orangemen I
Students! Are you fighters?
A fighting, cheering, singing,
yelling, howling, irresistable
student body is Nebraska's only
hope for a victory over Syra
cuse! festive event of the fall season. Stor
ies of the western nature of the car
nival are being told about the cam
pus and shipments of material are
coming in to the force that is working
in preparation for the crowd.
Some seem to nave gathered the
impression that the carnival will be
for men only, but the management
wishes to assure girls that they are
more than welcome. Every student
in the University is invited.
The doors will not open until the
Syracuse rally is over. This will en
able everyone to attend the pep meet
ing and get to the Armory in time to
tap the first keg. An admission price
of 30 cents will be charged at the
door. That will entitle every person
to a free drink at the bar and a cap
or a horn. No charge will be made
for dancing to the music of Louisana
Ragadors.
Manager Gleason assures every stu
dent that it will be quite appropriate
to wear either good clothes or old
clothes. The carnival will be of a
boisterous nature and he thought
that it would probably be better if
the good clothes were left at home.
Forty-seven members of the Kappa
Kappa Gamma sorority have volun
teered to be at the carnival in. Span
ish costume. They will serve the
drinks and sell the tickets for the
games of chance.
The carnival is an annual event
fostered by the military department.

HQN0RAR1ES MEET
TO REVIVE SPIRIT
Two Hundred Gather to Plan
Campaign as Before Irish
Game.
DAWSON, SCHULTE, SAY
NEED STUDENT BACKING
To revive Cornhusker spirit for
the Syracuse contest as that spirit
existed before the Notre Dame game,
200 representatives of class honorary
organizations met in the Social
Science auditorium ast night.
Coaches Dawson and Schulte spoke
to the assembly and commended the
type of spirit whcih has for years
stamped Nebraska among the most
courteous and sportsmanlike institu
tions in the country. Welch Pogue,
president of the Innocents, senior
honorary, presided, and recalled the
spirit which was brought to a climax
when Nebraska triumphed over the
Irish wonder team.
Need Classroom Enthusiasm.
The importance of a perfect at
tendance at the Syracuse rally Fri
day evening and the need for stu
dent enthusiasm in classrooms were
stressed. An example of the eastern
backing was pointed out in that 6,000
followers turned out to send the
Orange representatives to Lincoln
Wednesday afternoon.
Mentor Dawson stated that the
coming grid mix was to be played
under the most trying conditions be
cause of recent injuries of Corn
husker regulars, and that the crucial
test of the season was carded for
Saturday.
"The teamitself couldn't help re
sponding to the kind of spirit shown
prior to the Irish battle, and the same
intensity of feeling is needed to meet
the Syracuse occasion," Coach Daw
son declared. "We are going out to
beat Syracuse. The team is repre
sentative of you, and in order to win
we must have your feeling behind us
in heart and soul and boost, boost,
boost."
Say Student Support Wins.
"The real western spirit, 99.9 per
cent pure, is what Nebraska needs.
It is not what the coaches put into
the team but what the students put
behind them that tells the tale," said
Coach Schulte in closing the meeting.
"Nebraska cannot beat Syracuse
tomorrow, nor next day, but through
the needed backing we may be able
to beat them Saturday."
The class organizations in carrying
out the plans laid before the students
at the meeting are to attempt to help
the Husker spirit develope during the
next few days.
