With the final act of one of the
greatest seasons of football at the
Nebraska University about to be
staged, both teams are ready for the
opening kickoff.
The forward passing wizards from
Manhattan are here and ready to hit
their stride. The stride is to be most
ly by the aerial method. Every
fanner from the southern state is in
perfect fettle, and the incident for
Utah they have been primed all sea
son is ready for execution. The big
incident in question is "beat Ne
braska on Turkey day." The Husker
jqnad is not in the best of condition,
but they will be fighting, and the
Aggies will have to resort to some
flung besides forward passes for their
consistent gains. They are bound to
complete a few. but if they are plan
ning on anything through the Husker
Em, they will sooner or later realize
their folly. As to running the ends,
that is a different story. Although
Xotre Dame and Syracuse didn't
make a lot around the wings, the Ag
gies have one of the fastest and one
of the best drilled teams in the Val
ley. The Buskers, on the other hand,
bave been handicapped in workouts
for the last two weeks, and they will
bave to resort to their old formations
for their plays being held from get
ting new ones this week by injuries
to coach and to the men.
Th ticket sale for the final game
las not been as large as the manage
ment has expected but" some last
minute fans will no doubt make their
ppearance and demand admittance.
Everything points to fair and warmer
feather.
The following list of Cornhusker
rriors will make their final appear
nee as wearers of the Scarlet and
foam on the gridiron: Captain
verne Lewellen, Dave Noble, Herb
kwitz, Ced Hartman, Ross McGlas
Jn. Heinie Bassett, Joy Berquist.
It is doubtful if Mac and Herb will
action because of their injuries
from previous games.

LEWELLEN COMMENDS
SPIRIT OF STUDENTS
"Tomorrow the state of Nebraska
meets the state of Kansas. Let's put
Kansas where she always was and
always will be."
This is the way that Coach Schulte
summed up today's game before two
thousand loyal, cheering Cornhusk
ers at the rally last night. The rally
was nresided over by Welch Fogue,
who, after an avalanche of welcoming
cheers for the team, introduced the
speakers.
"This is the last time for me. This
is the last time for seven of us. We
have appreciated the chance to play
for Nebraska and more than all, we
have appreciated the way that you
students have backed us," said Cap
tain Lewellen. At the end of Cap
tain Lewellen's talk the students
showed their appreciation of the work
of these seven men in a wild burst of
nroloneed cheering. Bassett, Ber
quist, McGlasson, Noble, Hartman,
H. Dewitz and Lewellen are the seven
football heroes who play their last
game for Nebraska today.
"I want to see Nebraska back bas
ketball and other sports in the same
way that she backs her football team"
said Coach Kline. "Tomorrow we
play our last game of football and
tomorrow we open our basketball
season." '
"The Kansas Aggies are a brilliant
forward-passing team" warned Coach
Schulte. "We must crush that won
derful offensive with one even more
brilliant." Only one thing will beat
Kansas and that is the students, ne
reminded the students.
"No team in the world could have
defeated Nebraska on the day of the
Notre Dame game," asserted Prof.
M n. Scott. He called for the same
spirit once again and "there will be
no question about the game. ,
"When I was captain of Nebraska s
football team three years ago, the
team saw a handful of boosters ai
the last rally. The next day we were
h.j.tf.n. 21 to 20." Telated Day. He
continued, "I am glad to see this num
ber of students here tonight, it
means that we will win tomorrow."
"We can, we will, we are going to
beat Kansas tomorrow," declared Dr.
Condra in the last talk. Dr. Corrdrs
recalled the spirit before the Notre
Dame game and revived it once more.
At the close of his talk, a flashlight
picture of the crowd was taken.
"Duke Gleason, head cheer leader,
led the students in songs and yells.

The curtain will be lowered on the
Missouri Valley football stage this
afternoon when the conference cham
pionship will hang in balance waiting
for the outcome of the Nebraska
Kansas Aggie grid mix and the
Kansas-Missouri tussle. Modestly
tucked away in the " Corn crib " is
the little brown jug significant of the
Valley pigskin honors, among the
most famous of all football trophies.
For this historic bit of pottery Ne
braska and Kansas will attempt to
remain undefeated this afternoon.
At present Kansas holds a single
game lead over Nebraska having met
and defeated one more team in the
conference than the Huskers. Both
teams are on even terms, however,
boasting clean slates and two knotted
scores. Should one of the two teams
drop their only remaining twist to
day, to the victor goes the spoils
which in this case will be about
thirty cents worth of jug and a claim
to the Missouri Valley championship.
The recent season has stamped it
self as the closest competion in the
history of Valley contests. Four
games went full length to knots be
tween the upper rated elevens, Ne
braska and Kansas, Nebraska and
Missouri, Kansas and the Kansas Ag

The sales campaign for the 1924
Cornhusker will open next Monday
and will continue until the following
Friday. It is expected that the sales
of the new annual will be large in
view of its promised superiority over
any so far produced. A sale of S500
Cornhuskers this year is the goal set,
and the sales staff believes that the
merits of the book are great enough
to make the goal possible.
The new Cornhusker will be the
most representative annual ever pub
lished, according to Editor Robert
E. Craig. One of its greatest feat
ures will be the Historical section.
This will contain a complete history
of every organization and tradition
of the school. The founders of every
organizations, its principles, how it
has developed, and as complete a
directory of it as can be discovered in
any way, will make the book invalu
able to any student or alumnus of the
University. This will be the only
publication in existence that will fur
nish this complete and valuable infor
mation. Another feature of the yearbook
will be its increased size. The old
book was 8 1-2x11 and the new one
will be 9 x 12 and will contain at
least as many pages as the old. More
time and money will be spent on the
publication. A larger staff than
ever before is spending every effort
to make it outstanding among the
many that have been published. It
will be a book that is more than a
curiosity or a keepsake, it will have
real value. New section and features
have been added and more pictures
will increase its interest. Practically
all of the junior and senior pictures
and personal college careers will be
included.
The sorority that sells the most
Cornhuskers will be awarded a com
plimentary copy with a gold flyleaf
stating that it was presented to them
for winning first place in the sales
campaign. A similar copy will be
awarded to the sorority winning sec
ond place. This is a pleasing depart
ure from the customary practice of
awarding skins or cups.
