Freshman Gridsters
Resume Daily Grind
The freshman football squad af
ter a week-end rest reported for

time was spent in passing and punt
ing but the squad was divided into
three teams each one running signals.
The first team was given several Ok
lahoma plays by Coach Owen Frank
who scouted the Oklahoma game last
Saturday. No scrimmage was slated
for the freshmen yesterday but they
will probably be sent against the Var

PROGRAM IS ARRANGED
Season tickets for the University
Players go on sale this morning. It Is
expected that at least fifteen hun
dred student tickets wil) be sold dur
ing the three days campaign. Student
tickets for the matinee are limited
to three hundred, due to the demand
for matinee seats by the people of

the season, for the evening price of
$4, or the matinee price of $3. Sin
gle admission for the evening per
formances will be seventy-five cents,
and the matinee price is fifty cents.
However, it is predicted that there
will be no single admissions on sale
for the matinees because of the large
advance sale. An increase in the
price of admission is due to the addi
tion of a seventh play to' the pro
gram. Ten years ago, the University
Players' were started by Miss H.
Alice Howell, of the Dramatic De
partment. In 1914 the first play,
Ibsen's "Doll House," was presented
under the direction of Miss Howell.
