WILL BE INSTALLED IN EARLY SPRING The Silver Lynx fraternity of the University has received word that their petition to Phi Sigma Kappa has been favorably acted upon at the biennial convention of the fraternity which ended in Detroit Friday eve nine and that Silver Lynx has been wanted a chapter of Phi Sigma Kap pa Installation of the chapter will probably not take place until spring. Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity was founded at the Massachusetts Agri cultural College, birthplace of sev eral of the larger national fraterni ties, March 15, 1873. The fraternity remained local until 1888, when Beta chapter was installed at Union Uni versity. Twelve chapters made up the roll in 1900, located in the prin cipal schools of the east There were thirty-six chapters of Phi Sigma Kappa prior to the 1924 convention, located in the east, the middle-west, and on the west coast. The fraternity owns twenty-one chapter houses with a total valuation of $605,000. It also occupies an en tire floor of the new $5,000,000 fra ternity club building in New York City, which was constructed by a number of the older eastern fraterni ties as bachelor quarters for those alumni who are engaged in business there, and as headquarters for tran sient members. Hare Prominent Alumni. .Keith Neville, ex-Governor of Ne braska, is listed among the alumni of Phi Sigma Kappa, along with William P. Brooks, president of the Imperial Gollege of Agriculture of Japan; Henry Seidel Canby, former profes sor of English at Yale University, and editor of the Saturday Review of Literature; Neville Davisson Post, author, and numerous other men of prominence. Of associate members, Marshal Foch is one of the most out standing. Middle West chapters are located at the Iowm State College at Ames; and at the Kansas State Ag ricultural College at Manhattan. Silver Lynx is one of the oldest local fraternities at the University of Nebraska. It was founded in Octo ber, 1911, by a group of Omaha men who had pledged themselves to stay together during their college careers. These men secured apartments, but later in the year organized the fra ternity. The first annual banquet was held in the spring of 1912, and the fraternity name, Silver Lynx, was chosen at this time. A lot at Fourteenth and R streets was pur chased in 1916, on which the pres ent fraternity home was subsequent ly erected. Silver Lynx responded with sixty men of the seventy-two initiated at that time when the call came for the World War. Of these men were one major, five captains, thirteen first linetenants, ten second lieutenants, and thirty-one men in the ranks. The organization was inactive on the campus during the war, there being but two members in the University. The fraternity was reorganized soon after the war, and has been active since that time.

The two hundred remaining cop ies of the 1924-25 Student Directory will be on sale Monday at the office of the University Y. M. C. A. in the Temple. The price remains at fifty cents. . Sales of the directory this year have been more than pleasing to those in charge. 2700 copies were printed and it is expected that the last of these will be sold Monday. In addition to those sold at the booth at Twelfth and R streets, near ly 300 were sold at the College of Agriculture and 100 more were shipped to Omaha for sale at the Col lege of Medicine. About 150 copies of the "N" Book were sold at the time of the Direct ory sales. A few copies may still be obtained at the "Y" office. They are twenty-five cents. The "N" Book was issued primarily for the freshmen, but about 200 extra cop ies were printed. By delaying the publication of the directory a few weeks it was possi ble for the compilers to issue a much more accurate book than has been put out in former years. The plan of posting the proof on a bulletin board and allowing each student to check his own name was tried for the first time and eliminated a great many errors. A list of the students in the Col lege of Medicine and a complete fac ulty roster is included in the direct ory in addition to the student list, which gives the class, home town, Lincoln address, society affiliations, and telephone number of every stu dent enrolled in the University of Nebraska. There is also a list of the members of each fraternity and so rority and a list of the presidents of every campus organization.

Freshmen Think It's Green Caps-Iron With the coming of colder weath er, several freshmen seem to think that it is no longer necessary to wear their green caps, it is indicat ed by the reports which have be- eomine in lately to the green cap committee of the Iron Sphinx, sopho more men's society. The -ule is that the first-year men must wear the Irish headgear until Christmas at least and then the rest of the year if the sophomores win the Olympic contests November 29. There will be no let-up on the en forcement of this rule, according to members of the Iron Sphinx. Meth ods of punishment so far have been comparatively ey, the offender us ually getting several swats with a barrel-stave.

Kimport, cap tain of the Aggie team placed first with Lester Lawson of the HusKr team taking second placi . The time of 24 minutes, 30 seconds, was a new record for the Kansas course. , The Aggie harriers completely out-classed the Husker runners by placing their five men ahead of the Huskers' second runner. The Husker runners finished-in. the following order: Lawson, second; Captain Zimmerman; McCartney, Hays, Cohen, Lewis. The score was 19-36. THETAS WIN IN SALES CONTEST Alpha Omicron Pi, Alpha Del ta Theta and Delta Delta Delta Also Place. LANG THANKS WOMEN FOR THEIR SUPPORT I wish to thank all of the or ganizations and individuals who assisted in the 1925 Cornhusker sales campaign last week. Their earnest and conscientious efforts made it possible for the business staff to stage the most successful Cornhusker sales campaign that the University has ever known. The fact that the campaign was so successful, I attribute to the loyalty and earnestness of the women of Nebraska. ROBERT L. LANG, Business Manager. Kappa Alpha Theta sorority is the winner in the organization contest of the Cornhusker sales contest which ended Friday and will receive furni ture valued at fifty dollars at a prize. Alpha Omicron Pi, running close to the first throughout the contest, will receive the second award of a spe cial copy of the Cornhusker bound in leather. The six highest in the individual contest, receiving free Cornhuskers with names stenciled in gold are: Dorothy O'Shea, Irene Lovely, Freida Lamke, Mary Wigton, Frances Harri son, and Adeline Howland. Sororities winning third and fourth places in the contest, which was open to all sororities and dormi tories, are Alpha Delta Theta and Delta Delta Delta. They closely fol lowed Alpha Omicron Pi, there be ing only a few sales difference be tween them. Contrary to previous announce ment the price of the book will not be changed. Students may order Cornhuskers at $4.50 until January 10. The success of the sales cam naitm makes this possible. Over three hundred and fifty more books were sold this year than ever before. The campaign began last Monday and continued uniu rnaay. Alpha Theta was leading at the end of fvrrv dav exceDt the first, but the" difference in number of sales was small throughout the contest. The four sorrities finishing in the lead were contenders during all of the campaign. Place Paintings on Exhibit at Library The University Art Gallery in the Library building will be open from 3 to 6 o'clock today. An exhibition of the paintings of Mr. Howard Ash man Patterson will be a special fea ture. Mr. Patterson has been paint ing in the New Mexico and Colorado territory. , Too Cold to Wear Sphinx Don t Agree During the first two days of cold weather, seven cases were reported and were dealt with almost immedi ately. Since then the offenses have not been so numerous, but at the lnair.pi were broucht UD. The committee seems to have im- nrocsuvl the seriousness of the of fense sufficiently upon the freshmen thev hae visited so far, since none have been reported a second time. The idea was also conveyed to tne men that if they should be caught again "it would go hard with them." "The caps aren t much smaller than any other caps, and I believe that sreen carries the idea of warmth anyway," said Francis Jones, presi dent cf the Iron Sphinx. There u no excuse for not wearing them now or at any other time. CORNHUSKERS DECISIVELY WIN OYER KANSAS AGGIES Game Contains Many Spectacular Plays Including 70-yard Run by Locke, 35-yard Pass to Collins, Pass Good for 55 yards to Rhodes, and 40-yard Dropkick. PLAYING OF NEBRASKA LINE IS REVELATION TO FANS KANSAS STATE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE, Manhat tan, Kans., Nov. 22. The Nebraska backfield decided this af ternoon to emulate the "four horsemen of Notre Dame" annd aided by fine line play, ran wild over the Kansas Aggies, win ning 24 to 0. That the game was spectacular can be judged from this: First touchdown 70-yard run by Roland Locke, second touchdown pass, Rhodes to Collins, thirty-five yards, third touchdown pass, Bronson to Rhodes, fifty-five yards, dropkick by Bloodgood, from 40-yard line. Oddly enough, the two passes which Nebraska completed for touchdowns were the only ones which the Huskers made good during the after noon's entertainment. The Aggies had fair success with their passing game but were unable to make it good in the pinches. Several times the Kansas Aggies were within scoring distance, but the Nebraska defense was almost impregnable. .-.i-fi 31': AL BLOODGOOD. Whose educated toe accounted for the Husker's first points yesterday. In addition to the forty-yard drop kick, the Nebraska quarter-back broke away for several long gains through the line and took the heart out of the Aggie punts by his nice returns. His field generalship was flawless.

It is the custom for the Univer sity Chorus to present four or five of these programs for the student body during the year. The Messiah will be given before the Christmas hodays. "St. John's Eve" is a ballad ro mance of a century or so ago. The scene is set in a village street where the people are celebrating the feast of St John. Margaret, a venerable old women of the town, predicts the manner in which eacn maiden wui discover the identity of her future n . . ru'bano. ttooert, a young mn the village, overhears that he who dares to pluck the rose which Nancy wears will win her on Christmas eve. He resolves to venture it and appar- e tly succeeds. The appearance of Nancy's true lover with the original rose brings the tale to a happy end ing. Plan Rifle Match For Fraternities TK annual inter-fraternity rifle match, under the auypices of the military department will fee neia shortly before the Christmas holi days. Major Sidney Erickson, com mandant of cadets, announces. Each fraternity is expected to enter a team. TRICE 5 CENTS Lane 5how Up Well. The play of the Husker line was a revelation. During the first half the Aggies made forty yards from scrim mage and were thrown for losses ag- gregating twenty-nine yards, in oth er words their net gain was thirteen yards for the half. The first half was all Nebraska's while in the second half the Aggies' played the better football. This was , undoubtedly true in spite of the fact I that Nebraska scored only three points in the first half and twenty- one in the second. Coach Dawson gave most of the men who made the trip a chance to show what they could do. Twenty- two Huskers had mingled with the Aggies before the final whistle blew. The Nebraska backfield, or rather backfields, showed up the stuff of which champions are made. Rhodes plowed through the Aggie line time and again for long gains. A. Man- . dery did some creditable line plung iner. Locke contributed a 70-yard run. But it was the work of Al Bloodgood, Nebraska quarterback, that was par ticularly brilliant. Bloodgood broke away for long gains on off-tackle plays, and his generalship was almost perfect. Time and again the Aggies were caught flat-footed by an unex pected Nebraska play. Both sides played desperately on defense, the tackling being so hard as to cause feveral slight injuries. Play AII-Aroaad Game. The Huskers seemed able to play any style of football from passing to line plunging. The starting combin ation of Locke. Rhodes. Mandery and Bloodgood was very successful in runnig the ends. This backfield is made ud of men who can do a hun dred yards in the neighborhood of ten seconds. The Aggies often had the opportunity to see them whiz by. Coach Bachman's Aggies lived up to prediction in playing the Notre Dame style of football. The backs hopped around in various formations as gracefully as dancers. The Husk ers may have taken particular delight in winning from these "junior Irish." The first quarter was a bloody one for the Aggies, as the Huskers were knocking on the door several times.
