BEGINS WORK
ON SECTIONS
Editor Announces Part of Ap
pointments to Staff of
Year Book.
SET TIME FOR PICTURES
Junior and Senior, Fraternity and
Sorority Block Muit Bo Com
plete NoTember 11. v
Actual work has begun on the 1926
Cornhusker. Part of the staff ap
pointments are announced In this
issue of the Nebraskan, and the dead
line date for junior and senior pic
tures and fraternity and sorority sec
tions has been set for November 11.
All pictures must be taken at the
studios by that date, and students are
urged by Donald Sampson, editor of
the Cornhusker, to make their ap
pointments at the earliest possible
date in order to avoid the last minute
rush.
A change has been made in the
fraternity section which this year will
be made up of individual pictures of
the members instead of group pic
tures as in former years. This means
that all fraternity members and
pledges whose pictures are to appear
in the Cornhusker must have their
pictures taken by November 11. Jun
iors and seniors who have pictures in
their class sections, will be charged
only fifty cents extra for the addi
tional printing in the fraternity sec
tion. Underclassmen will be charged
$1.25 for their pictures up to Novem
ber 11, and $1.50 thereafter.
The change in makeup of the fra
ternity section will enable second
semester pledge?, and members re
turning late to that school, to be In
cluded in their fraternity sections.
The early date for pictures this
year has been made to include' not
only the seniors as last year, but the
juniors and fraternity and sorority
sections as well, in order to make
possible great savings in engraving
charges. This in turn will make pos
sible a greater Cornhusker in other
departments. The deadline date will
be rigidly applied, and negligent stu
dents will have difficulty getting in
their pictures.
Studios which are making the pic
tures for the yearbook are Hauck's,
and Townsend's. Appointments can
be made at either place beginning this
week. Private orders of pictures can
be ordered from the Bame sitting. The
charge for- the pictures is $4.00, one
dollar for which is the studio rate,
and three dollars remaining covers
the cost of engraving and printing in
the Cornhusker. Students having
pictures from last year can use the
same, but the charge for putting
these in the year book will be $3.50.
Give Series of Tests
In Freshman English
A series of seventh and eighth
grade English tests were given to all
freshmen registered for English 1
and 2 by Prof. R. D. Scott, head of
the freshman English department, on
Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of
last week. All freshmen were grouped
according to the grades made in these
tests.
A simple set of questions were of
fered in an effort to distribute fresh
men with regard to their ability.
Two or more courses of English 1 are
now offered at every hour of the
morning because of the removal of
the two hour courses offered last
year in the College of Business Ad
ministration. Final results of the
ffeshaij college ratings have not
been compiled.
University Players Start Work On
First Play--" The Goose Hangs High"
University Players have started on
their opening production, for the sea
son, "The Goose Hangs High," by
Lewis Beach. The play will be pre
sented at the Temple theater, Octo
ber 3, 9, and 10.
"The Goose Hangs High" is an
American comedy and one of the
New York successes of the past and
current seasons. Burns Men tie, Ira
mti. i-.ir.ii. nn a New York newspaper
wrote of the play, "A cheering suc
cess. A fine play. Three hearty
cheers are coming to them for this
comedy."
The play is a story of the average
American family, of flappers in clash
with the older generation; but it is
worked cut along entirely new lines.
The youth of today will find that he
has a violent defender in the wcrk
of Mr. Beach. The younger genera
tion, that has been spanked so regu
larly in the photoplays and novels
and in such plays as "Scandal" and
"Nice People," will find this play
refreshing.
The scene is set in a small city in
the middle west, and the story has

NEED MORE MEN
FOR MANAGERS
Thirty Sophomores Required
To Carry On New System;
Eighteen Working.
WILL PICK EIGHT JUNIORS
More men are needed, as sopho
more sport managers, Gerald Davis,
football manager, announced yester
day afternoon. At least thirty men
are needed to carry v.n the work out
lined under the new system installed
this fall; only eighteen have applied
for positions up to date.
Sophomores interested in this
work are urged to report to Herbert
Gish in the athletic office at once.
The football season is already well
under way and all candidates must
serve in this sport.
The managing of each sport was
handled separately in former years,
candidates for positions were con
fined to a Bingle sport, but the com
petition was oftentimes uneven due
to the varied response to the calls
made for managers in the different
sports.
Under the new plan candidates
must serve in all of the sports. From
this number of sophomore managers
eight will be chosen as junior man
agers. These eight men will then
be assigned to, work under a certain
sport manager.
Sophomores who have already ap
plied, for positions are: Fred Nelson,
Donald Russell, Louis Turner, Ivan
Harrison, Oliver Sturdevant, Jacob
Imig, Austin Somerville, Edward
Wellman, Ralph Gwagner, Ed Cripes,
Alan Williams, Chester Isgrig, Jack
Hamlin, Carl Carrington, Ralph De
Long, Sanford Griffan, Clarence

LARGE ATENDANCB
AT WELCOME PARTY
More Than 1200 Student Attend
First All-University Mixer
Given Saturday Night.
The attendance at the "Welcome
Party", first ail-University party of
the season, which was held last Sat
urday evening was one of the largest
in the history of a'l-University par
ties. More than 1200 students were
present, nearly doubling the attend
ance at the opening mixer of last
year. .
Beck's orchestra furnished the
music for the evening. Dorothy
Abel featured the evening with an
interpretative dance during the inter
mission period. Punch and wafers
were served throughout the evening.
Due to the increasing popularity
of these University mixers a few
changes have been considered by the
committee to aid in improving ana
adding new features for future par
ties. to do with a pair of doting parents
who have sacrificed everything for
their children's welfare. The two
youngest members of the Tngals fam
ily are undergraduates, irresponsive
pleasure-seeking youngsters, devoid
f onv resDonsibility: and an elder
son who is making his own way sup
posedly, but ever leaning on tne
older folks for emergency assistance.
Then comes a crash in the happy
household, Father gives up his poli
tical position under pressure, and
has no money and no castles in
Spain. How they plan to come to
n. rescue and ricrht the turmoil o
their home, is deftly told in the latter
part of this delightful play, wicn on
its abundance of comedy, the play
has its serious moments and above
all a natural happy ending.
The University Players' annual
ticket sale campaign will open next
week. The National Collegiate Play
ers are sponsoring the campaign. Al
bert E. Erickson, business manager
of the Players, prophecies that this
year will !e one of the most suc
cessful for the players as well as for
the patrons.

GREEN PLAYERS
IN ILLINOIS LINE
Zuppke's Men Make Up In
Aggressiveness What They
Lack In Experience.
BACKFIELD ALSO PUZZLE
URBANA, 111., Sept 28. A green
line which may make up for its in
experience by ita aggressiveness and
a ipetdy backf ield of veterans for the
most part that is the football situ
ation at the University of Illinois at
the end of the second week of prac
tice, and Bob Zuppke is busy getting
his men ready for the big game with
Nebraska on October 3, in the Illinois
stadium.
So many of the leading candidates
for the line have never pl.yed in an
actual game that the real appraisal
of their ability cannot be made until
they have been seen under fire, The
coaches like the spirit of the recruits
who are battling like tigers. But
from tackle to tackle Zuppke has only
two so-called veterans, Chuck Brown
and Bernie Shively, who played very
little last year, and it is pretty hard
to tell what new material, however
zealous, will do when the real test
comes.
Plenty Of Beef.
"Zup" can construct a nice bulky
team if he wants to, because he has
plenty of beef for the line. The
backfield, however, may be lighter
than last year. The minute that
Bernie Shively, last year's sub guard,
reported this week, the coach moved
him to tackle where his 210 pounds
will be effective if he can make good
in the position. Shively was regarded
as most promising as a freshman
guard but some unusally bad Charley
horses last fall kept him sidelined a
great deal of the time. Chuck Brown
who fell heir to Mush Crawford's
tackle job last year when he was lost
to the team mid-season, has a hard
battle against some of the aggressive
young tackles such as Hazelip, a 190
pounder who charges fast and hard;
Bodman, a sub guard last season;
Dave Kidd, freshman varsity captain
and Conley, a lanky senior who never
has been eligible previously. Conley
is also a prospective end.
Chick Kassel, an all-conference
selection by many critics last year,
leads the ends. "Stub" Muhl, who
hits like 190 pounds despite his 151
according to the players, is certain
to figure a lot but Zuppke is looking
for another end to bear part o the
burden. "Hyde Park" Smith, a
strong freshman two years ago but
ineligible last season, D'Arobrosio, a
sophomore and Johnny Mauer, sub
back in 1923 and basketball captain
last year, are all receiving considera
tion.
Earl Britton has been spending
most of his time on his books but if
he is able to clear the scholastic hur
dles, "Zup" undoubtedly will give
him a chance at guard against Ne
braska. Earl's 185 pounds and his
all-around football Ability ought to
make a good guard out of him and

Grantland Rice Says
Captain Weir May Be
The Star of Tacklers
Grantland Rice, writing in the New
York Herald-Tribane, says:
"Those playing in the line rarely
have the same chance to catch the
publit eye as those have who carry
the ball on sensational marches down
the field.
"So a Weir hasn't quite the same
opportunity for fai., that a Grange
may know. .Yet Weir, Nebraska's
tarltln ami rnnUkiii. limy lie nnff of Lt
besCthat ever played the position.
"lie has weight, speed and experi
ence. Although a big man, he was
fast enough and active enough to
beat Kinsey and Taylor, tho two
Olympic hurdlers.
"There have been many fine tac
kles, but few that stood out as Hef
felfinger and Hare stood out as
guards. Or as Hinkey, Shevlin, Hard
wick, etc., loomed against the skyline
in their end-playing days.
"Weir this season may take his
place as the star of them all, recall
ing again the days of Hogan, Henry,
Hillebrand, Hara Fish, and others still
(remembered."

ILLINI SPECIAL
Lincoln Business Men And
Students Make Reserva
tions for Game.
PLAN CHICAGO STOPOVER
Much interest is being displayed
over the prospect of seeing the Corn
huskers play their first game of the
1925 season, according to the num
ber of persons that have asked for
reservations on the "Mini Special"
which leaves Lincoln next Fridayi
afternoon for Urbana, where Ne
braska tangles with Illinois.
Many of Lincoln's business men
have decided to make the trip and
they have made reservations accord
ingly. The University Club has taken
one car and many students have pur
chased tickets for the trip. It is
thought that the special will be
carrying its full capacity when it
leaves the Burlington station.
The Burlington route over which
the special is being run, is doing
everything it can to make the trip a
success. Prices have been reduced
and the schedule for the special has
been made to the students liking.
The train will arrive in Urbana early
Saturday morning so that students
will have an opportunity of seeing
the Illinois campus. The game is
called for 2 o'clock.
On the return trip the special will
leave Urbana at 6 o'clock, for Chi
cago, where there will be a four hour
stopover. This will enable everyone
to do a little sight seeing in the city.
The train will leave Chicago at 12:30
Saturday night and will arrive in
Lincoln Sunday afternoon. The
round trip fare is $19.46 from Linc
oln and $17.48 from Omaha.
A block of seats for the game has
been sent to Lincoln and they are on;
sale at Latsch Brothers. These tic
kets are in the center section of the
stadium and sell for two dollars.
BXPECT SHIPMENTS
OF CAPS BY FRIDAY
Supply of Freshmen H'eadgear Is
Nearly Exhausted; Over 800
Men Supplied.
Although lots in nearly every size
of green caps have been exhausted
at Farquhar's now, a new shipment
of the freshmen headgear is expected
to arrive Friday. It is thought that
all first-year men will be supplied
by the end of the week, and enforce
ment of the tradition will start
Monday.
As in former years, the Iron Sphinx
will have charge of the enforcement
of the rule, and this year it will be
followed out to the letter. Freshmen
will be required t . wear the caps at
all times until it has been announced
that they may be discarded.
Large sizes are on sale at Far
quhar's now, and sizes that could not
be obtained last week may probably
be found at the store today. Already
more than 800 caps have been sold,
it was said yesterday.
Students And Studies Fifty Years
Ago Are Much Like Those Of Today
Fifty years ago when the Univer-j
sity of Nebraska was yet in its cradle
there were women and c.idet drill,
fashions and philosophy, Greek and
math, literary societies and frats,
football and dancing. There were
freshmen and sophomores and jun
iors and seniors too. .College was
probably much like it is today save
that the college has expanded and
some of the once shiny new brick
buildings are now turning a wee bit
Time was .when there existed no
difficulty for the freshman in finding
his various classes. University Hall
stood guard over an open field form
erly covered with cow paths and
treeless save for the newly planted
elms and maples. The campus was
quite out of town then. But there
were tho favorite walks and benches
as much in use as today. Youth
always did stroll. '
At that time Eliza Anne did not
dash on a street car for a ton o'clock
but she did ride up in fine style in
an. off "of the ground carriage drswn
bv horses. And carriages wore quite
as popular as necessary at l:nt time.

HOLD RALLY AT STATION
Student Body To Meet In Front Of
Armory and Parade Down O
' Street In Send-Off.
The University of Nebraska Var
sity football team will leave Lincoln
from the Burlington station, Thurs
day afternoon, October 1, at 4:40
o'clock for Urbana, 111., where they
will meet the University of Illinois
football team in their first game of
the 1925 season. A station rally
will be held in order to give the team
a real Cornhusker send-off.
Plans have been made whereby the
entire student body is to meet in front
of the Armory at 3 :45 o'clock, Thurs
day for a parade which will march
down O street and then will go to
the Burlington station. The Univer
sity band will lead the parade and
cheer leaders will lead school songs
and yells at the station. Members
of the team and of the coaching staff
will speak a few words before the
train leaves.
It is of the utmost importance;
that every student in the University
get into the parade and Bhow their
school spirit by giving the team such
a rousing send-off that the echo will
be heard on the field Saturday after
noon. Coach Bearg is putting a great
Husker eleven into the field this year
and all that is necessary to start them
off with a win is to have the Nebras
ka students show the proper spirit,
and the best way to make a good be
ginning is to have everyone in the
parade and at the station next Thurs
day.
