"Another purpose is to give music supervisors the opportunity of having actual experience in playing, con ducting, and arranging.

NEBRASKA AND ILLINOIS WILL CLASH TOMORROW Spirit Reaching High Pitch With First Game of Season Only One Day Off; Expect 30,000 to Assemble in Nebraska's Memorial Stadium. CLEAR DAY PREDICTED; Before what is expected to be one of the largest crowds ever assembled in the Memorial Stadium, the football elevens of Nebraska and Illinois will clash Saturday afternoon at 2 o' clock in the first game of the season. Reports of advance sales by John K. Selleck, business agent for student activities, indicate that the atten dance will reach 30,000. The best of conditions for the contest on the new sod field are anticipated by the Husker coaches. The Illini are in good condition and confident of victory, though Zuppke is holding up the nemesis of over-confidence to his squad, news paper reports from Urbana indicate. Injuries have taken their toll of the Song and Yell Rallies Held Yesterday Song and yell rallies were held on the campus eastf the Armory between classes Thursday. Stu dents passing to classes joined in singing Nebraska songs. Selec tions were played by the Univer sity band. Students will be allowed to sing for five minutes in classes Friday morning, according to orders is sued by Carl C. Engberg, Execu tive Dean. Rallies will be held at 3:30, 10:50 and 11:50 o'clock east of the Armory again today. This will not interfere with class es as the rallies will be short. ENTIRE STADIUM MAY BE SOLD OUT Ticket Sales for First Game In dicate Crowd That May Fill Stands. Ticket sales for the Illinois game have become much brisker in the last few days and if there is a heavy sale at the Stadium on the day of the game the entire Stadium may be sold out Reports from Latch Brothers, where tickets are being sold down town, indicate that the sales there are heavy, John K. Selleck, business agent for athletics, said Thursday. About 200 tickets were sold at the Student Activities office Thursday. Sales of student tickets are con tinuing, although most of the stu dents who intend to buy tickets have already done so. The student sec tion is now almost sold out. One sce tion remains. In case the Illinois game provides a sell-out, it will prove to be an attrac tion that ranks with the Notre Dame game. Only Notre Dame, heretofore, has drawn such huge crowds. NEW PUBLICATION IS ISSUED Cornhusker New Serrice Make First Appearance. The first issue of the Cornhusker News Service was published by the Athletic Department of the Univer sity th latter part of the week. It contained a brief summary of foot ball practice and the attempts of Coach Dawson to get a winning com bination from the four regulars of last year and a string of substitutes and sophomores. Locke, is unable to start, and Mielenz will probably take his place at left half. Lively contests are being staged for various line positions. The bulletin also contained an ac count of the Knothole Club, a squad of five thousand youngsters between the ages of ten and fifteen, who will be admitted free to all games as guests of the Athletic Department. Freshmen Must Wear Green Caps by Monday Freshmen mny now purchase green caps at Farquhar's Clothing store. A new supply of 400 was received by the store late yesterday, and are on sale for seventy-five cents each. All first-year men are expected to wear the caps, and the deadline set for purchasing them is October 6. Iron Sphinx, sophomore organization, in enforcing the wearing of the caps. FIELD IN GOOD CONDITION Husker gridsters. Locke and Mie lenz, both halfbacks, will probably be on the sidelines when the whistle blows, but may get into the game. Football was king at the Uniyer sity Thursday. Little else was thought or spoken. Between classes impromptu rallies were held in front of Social Science building. The band played; the students cheered and clapped then everyone hurried away to make classes. The rallies were limited to five minutes. Students will sing for five minutes at the beginning of all classes Fri day to help generate spirit for the game. Red armbands, with the words in white letters, "Welcome Illinois" are seen everywhere on the campus and merchants have painted their show windows with the same slogan. The Illinois song, "The Blue and Gold," will be sung by the students at the game, mingling with the strains of "The Cornhusker." The special root ers' section of three hundred will be called upon to give the "Oske-wow-wow" Illinois yell. The new Stadium field, sodded last year, is now in perfect condition. The green turf is soft and offers consid erable protection from injuries. This will be the first real game on the field. The Illini team pulled away from Urbana Thursday and will arrive in Lincoln today. Probably the Illini will workout in Lincoln, the prac tice being limited to a few limbering up exercises. The Cornhusker squad looked much better Thursday evening than before. More zip is being shown in executing plays. The team will probably weigh a little less than the team of last year. Joe Weir, guard, will bring down the average consid erably, in case he gets into the game in place of Ogden. The backfield will undoubtedly be lighter and the line about the same. Rhodes, who played end last year, will probably be switched to full back on offense. He will resume his regular end on defense. Rhodes has shown marked ability at line-plunging. Myers, who was formerly at fullback, will take end on offence and fullback on defense. Bloodgood, Mandery and Dailey will probably make up the rest of the backfield, unless Mielenz or Locke is able to play. Dailey may then be held on the sidelines. Kamm, quarterback, is contesting with Bloodgood for his po sition and may start the game. Robcitson and Roy Mandery have been alternating at left end, with Ro bertson, a veteran, having the edge. Captain Weir and Molzen have the call for the tackle positions and Hut chinson seems assured of center. Hubka should play one guard with Ogden or Joe Weir at the other. Wos- toupal is also a possibility. The some what indefinite lineup is the result of the injuries reported and the trying out of new men as the result of the poor showing of the Varsity against the freshmen . Walter Eckersall, all-time ail-Ame rican quarterback, and one of the greatest football experts in the coun try, will referee the game. The roster of officials follows: Referee Walter Eckersall, Chica go. Umpire J. J. Schomer, Chicago. Field Judge H. P. Hackett, West Point Head Lineman J. C. Whyte, Cor nell. The forecast of the weather bureau indicates that the weather will be fair for the game. The day may be partly cloudy but there is little possi bility of rain.' KNOTHOLE CLUB TO SEE GAME Five Thousand Boy and Girl to Be Guest of University. A rooting squad of five thousand boys and girls between the ages of ten and fifteen years, inclu sive, is expected to mingle its cheers with the throngs which swarm the Nebraska Memorial Stadium for the home games this season.
