TO GIVE TEAM
BIG SENDOFF
Parade From Armory to Bur

4 O'clock.
TEAM LEAVES THURSDAY
Cheerleader and Band To Be on
Hand To Work up Enthusiasm
Before Team Leave.
To give the Comhnsker football
team a proper sendoff for their Ini
tial came of the season, a rally will
be staged before the "Fighting Ele
ven" leaves for Urbana Thuursday
afternoon. The entire student body
will meet in front of the Armory at
3:45 o'clock to start the ceremonies.
The band and Varsity cheerlead
ers will start the enthusiasm, after
which a parade will be staged down
0 street and then to the Burlington
station. Members of the team and
coaching staff will speak a few words
before the train leaves at 4:40
o'clock.
It is of the utmost importance that
Cornhuskers who want to send the
team off feeling that they are going
to Urbana to put up a real fight,
should attend the rally tomorrow.
This is Nebraska's first game of
the season and one of the hardest in
the entire schedule. "School spirit"
does not usually get aroused until the
middle of the season, but a supreme
effort will be made this year to get
it going from the very start. Ne
braska is -Fell known for its "Corn
husker" spirit and it is necessary to
keep this reputation of the past.
Coach Bearg is doing his best to
pot a great Husker eleven into the
field this year. As yet Bearg does
not know what sort of help he can
rely upon from the student body,
lie should not be disappointed with
the ovation given the team tomorrow.

Played First Game Against Huskers
URBANA, HL, Sept 23, Two
years ago on a bright October after
noon, Harold Grange, the Univer

Crangg will celebrate the second
anniversary of that event October 3,
when another Nebraska team faces
the Illini in the opening game of the
season at the Illinois Memorial te

remains to be seen, but what he did
gainrt Nebraska in 1923 is em
blazoned in Illinois football history.
Three successful leaps for forward
Pe; three sensational returns of
Punts and oer a score of gains off

f which aided materially in his
three touchdowns, marked th. debut

Illinois and Nebraska had battled
on even terms during the first period
and the Hunkers were backed to their
lown three-yard line. Lewellen punt

him on his 1923 record of scoring at
least one tonchdown in every game

game came on a lft-yat., forward

Council Worried When Member Dis
cover Ball Room Rents Doubled
Musicians and Caterers Ask In
creases. The launching of a campaign to
bring down hall rent and the prices
of orchestras and catering service
will be considered at a meeting at
the Temple at 7:30 this evening of
the heads of all campus organiza
tions The meeting was called by the
Student Council, which decided at
its meeting yesterday afternoon to
investigate the recent increase in
prices of all things connected with
parties.
The presidents of all fraternities,
sororities, literary societies, and
other campus organizations will be
informed at the meeting of the in
creases. If the sentiment is favor
able, a boycott will be started, to
continue until the prices are down'
to the Ftudents' scale.
Four years agoa similar increase
in prices brought about a boycott
by the students which was successful
in bringing down the prices to the
level demanded by the students.
Members of the Student Council
believe that the scale can be lowered
without a boycott, as it is not believ
ed that any genuine war will be
wanted by the hotels, caterers, and
musicians' associations.
Prices for ball rooms have doubl
ed, it is said, and the prices for or-
chestras'and caterers' services have
increased considerably.
It is thought that reservations al
ready made for ball rooms can be
taken care of, as many of these were
made under the old price, one-half
of the present one. Deposits given
for the reservations must be return
ed, it is thought, when the price is
increased..
The Council also announced that
three vacancies in its membership
ransed by the failure of students tc
return to school will be filled at the
Margaret Weber, for the College of
Fine Arts, and Ed Stenger, for the
College of Pharamacy.
Plans were also made for handling
the election, at which class presidents
and the honorary colonel will be cho
sen.

BDRLINGTOH
MAKES MANY
RESERVATIONS
Special Train to Illinois Will
Be Crowded, Railroad
Reports.
SOME PLAN TO DRIVE
Good Seats for Game Still Available
At Latsch Brothers Not
Many Left.
Ticket sales for the special Bur
lington train which leaves for the
Nebraska-Illinois game next Friday
are exceptionally good, railroad of
fices report. Latsch Brothers, in
charge of tickets for the game, re
ports a larger number of sales than
the Burlington office, which indi
cates that some of the students have
been negligent about making reser
vations and that some are expecting
to drive to Urbana.
At the present rate the entire
quota of tickets allotted to Latsch
brothers for the initial football game
will be sold before the special leaves.
Excellent seats in the center of the
field may still be obtained, however,
at both Latsch Brothers and from
John K. Selleck at the student acti
vities office in the Armory.
Contrary to earlier reports that a
special lunch car would be provided
for the trip, a diner has been pro
vided. A large percentage of the
Burlington sales include pullman
reservations which will be $6.38 for
lower berths and $5.10 for uppers.
Lincoln business men are taking
an active interest and both the Uni
versity and Commercial Clubs will
be well represented.
Any students expecting to "bum"
their way will be sadly disappointed,
as the train will be strictly watched
while leaving. No trouble is expect
ed, however, as nothing of this sort
has happened in late years.
The Burlington ticket office ex
pects a rush for chair car accomoda
tions at the last minute. Bound trip
fare from Lincoln is $19.46 and fror
Omaha is $17.48. The "Dlini Spe
cial" will go through Chicago on
both trips, stopping on the return
trip for four hours.

DRIVE WILL CONTINUE
Sales reports in the Awgwan sub
scription drive showed that the cam
paign fell short yesterday. Only five
hundred students have purchased the
campus humorous publication during
the first two days of the campaign
r uteen hundred subscriptions were
sold last year and the goal this year
has been set at two thousand.
The campaign, which was to close
this evening, will probably be held
over another day on account of the
slow sale of the subscriptions. The
reduction in sales is being largely
attributed to the new selling system,
In former years organizations were
allowed to take over the campaign.
Under the new ruling the drive is
limited to special tables placed at
advantageous places on the campus.
After the close of the campaign
those unable to take advantage of
the drive may still secure the spe
cial yearly rate of one dollar at the
Awgwan office in the basement of

Assessed Fines
Municipal Judge Chappell Changes
His Policy No Longer Lenient
With Hurried Co-eds Who Fail to
Park Parallel to Curb.
"Somebody may get kiHed while
in a car caught in a traffic Jam
caused by cars being parked out of
line," said Municipal Judge E. B.
Chappel Tuesday afternoon after fin
ing sixteen students $1 and costs for
parking violations.
For two weeks Judge Chappel has
been lenient with students but since
they continue to disregard all warn
ings he began Tuesday to impose
fines and to accept no excuses.
In most cases the charge was for
failure to park parallel to the curb
on R street and Fourteenth street
boardering the University campus.
One young lady smiled when the
court assessed the minimum fee. But
was warned by the judge "Don't
laugh or it will be $5 and costs." The
smile disappeared.
Another young lady told the judge
that she was not a good enough
driver to park snug up to the curb
parallel. She was told that in that
case she ought not to be driving a
car.
Until school opened it had been
the custom to try all parking viola
tors on Saturday but business has
picked up to such an extent as to
necessitate a daily grind for violators
of this type.
Nebraska Hall To
Be Patched Up hy
First of November
Work of renovating the Nebraska
Hall is being pushed by the Olsen
The new roof has been laid under the
old one and it is now estimated that
the old roof and the brick work of
the third floor can be removed so
that the building may again be occu
pied by November or possibly earlier.
The new roof of tar paper is en
tirely completed. The upper por
tions of slate shingles of the old roof
have been removed. A gang of a
dozen men is now at work completing
the removal of the slate shingles.
The contract of the Olsen Construc
tion company for the razing of the
roof does not call for the delivery
of the slate shingles so a corps of
men employed by the University is
at work lowering them to the ground.
There they are being stacked and
will be saved for use on other build
ings. The roof proper will probab
ly be entirely removed within the
next two days. Work will proceed
on the destruction of the brick-work
above the new roof, which is expect
ed to take from ten days to two
weeks.

an edge in victories of four to two,
the University of Nebraska will in

Saturday for the seventh gridiron

years assistant to Coach Bob Zuppke,
mentor of the Illini. And, too, the
game, which is the big early season
atraction of the Middle West, will
see the first 1925 appearance of two

and "Red" Grange, Illinois' rapid

of a series, of four games, all won
by the Cornhuskers, played at Lin
coln. The second Nebraska victory

the third in 1904, 16 to 10; and the
fourth, 24 to 6, in 1905. Those
games all were before the time of
Zuppke.
Following the 1905 contest, foot
ball relations between the two insti
tutions were severed for eighteen
years, until in 1923 Coaches Zuppke
and Fred T. Dawson, the latter then
the Nebraska mentor, arranged an
opening season game to be flayed at
Urban. It was the day "Red!
Grange made his debuut, r.nd the
Huskers were defeated 24 to 7, the
Illini flash making three touchdowns
against the team which later in the
season beat Notre Dame, which had
been hailed as the "wonder team."
Then last fall, Bo' Zuppke took
his gridtc out to the "home of the
Cornhuslrs." Nebraska that day
held th ) great Grange to nary a
touchdo rn, although the Illini won
the game, 9 to 6.
Now this year, Illinois and Nebras
ka clash for the seventh time in a
game at Urbana, October 3. Inter
est is added to the game by the fact
that Bearg knows "Red" Grange's
style and Illinois'' football taetirs a.i
well as anyone and some say
