The talk of the day indicates that
there will be a shake-upin the line-up

the gHine tomorrow. Harold Tattoa,
the speedy back, is said to be includ
ed in the tentative line-up instead
of Beckett, and Judd Cutting is not
expected to be at his end post.
The game will prabably be one of
kicks and passes tomorrow, if pre
came indications can be believed.
The line of Washington is partly new
but so far this season has exhibited a
strength which will be hard to beat,
With it nitted aeainst the Husker
line which has been described as
revelation" a game of backfield work
may be expected.
Stan to bo in Backfield
Rhodes, Locke, Brown and Mand
ery will be lined up against Patton,
Wilson, Tesreau and Shidler in the
opposing backfields. George Wilson,
a halfback, was adjudged a second
all-American last year and this sea

ington opponents.
Elmer Tosreau, fullback and cap
tain, is known for his plunging and
his defensive work. Shidler was the
second highest scoring man in the
United States last year.
The Huskers will meet a versatile
offensive, adept particularly at off
tackle smashes and with a few long
passes in its sleeve. It is said that
there is also a proficiency at end
runs on the Husky team.
The Husky squad will work out in
the stadium this afternoon in closed
practice. After that the Huskers

Chancellor Discusses the Future
Of Two Oldest Buildings on Campus
States That He is Deliberately Bring
ing up the Question of What Shall
be Done with Nebraska and Uni
versity Halls.
Chancellor Samuel Avery, writing
in the October number of The Ne
braska Alumnus discusses the future
of the two old buildings on the cam
pus, Nebraska Hall and University
Hall. The Chancellor states that he
is deliberately raising the question
of what shall be done with the two
old buildings to provoke discussion.
The following is his discussion:
In the case of Nebraska Hall the
question has been rractically decided
by forces stronger Uiin the Legisla
ture, the Regents, the University
officials, and the alumni. Gravita
tion aided by wind, rain, and frost,
threaten to demolish the building
before the present attempt to make
part of it last a little longer was
begun. Here, too, considerations of
sentiment had been in the main
gratified.
The chief claim to fame of the
building is that it had sheltered the
work of Professor Brace and Profes
sor Bessey. Brace Hall for physics
and Bessey Hall for the natural sci
ences fully satisfy in the minds of
the alumni the claims of sentiment.
Everyone now says let the building
be razed not only to the second story
but to the lowest foundation wall as
soon as possible.
The case of University Hall is not
quite parallel. To be sure, the build
ing was condemned by competent
architects a few years after it was
built. However, the crumbling sand
stone foundation was replaced years
ago by limestone.
More recently the building was
girded with structural steel and tied
together with rodsi of iron; but with
the ever increasing numbers of stu
dents, fire risk constantly grows in
spite of the fact that fire escapes
have been added from time to time.
The danger from wind is ever
present. When the cyclone passed
over the Medical College campus in
Omaha, the new laboratory building
of steel and concrete was uninjured.
Neighboring structures built like old
U Hail went down like a stack of
cards.
The responsibility for the use of
this building, where the wind and
fire risk grows constantly, has been
endured by the officials for over
half a century. The risks increase
year by year as the student body

HOFFMAN TO SPEAK
ON STUDENT RELIEF
Speaker Has Accomplished a Very
Unusual Service in European
Y. M. C. A. Work
Mr. Conrad Hoffman, secretary of
the World's Student Christian Fed
eration, will speak at luncheon at
the Grand Hotel, Monday, October
19.
Mr. Hoffman was, before the
World War, professor of chemistry
at the University of Wisconsin. Dur
ing the war, he was in charge of the
Y. M. C. A. work dealing with allied
prisoners in Germany, a position de
manding the confidence of both the
Germans and Allies.
At the close of the war, Mr. Hoff
man stayed on in central Europe as i
nf thp RtuHent relief work
which is now known as the Inter
national Student Service.
It has been said of Mr. Hoffman
that he waj the most useful Ameri
can in Europe. Certainly, as the
only man in charge of this phase of
the Y. M. C. A. work, his may be
considered a very unusual accom
plishment. Mr. Hoffman is in the United
States under the auspices of the Y.
M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. and will
talk on his experiences in Europe
next Monday. Students and faculty
are especially invited to attend. Ad
mission will be twenty-five cents.

Executive Dean Makes
Statement on Singing
When approached on the sub
ject of singing school songs in the
class room Executive Dean Carl
C. Engberg had the following to
say:
"Saturday of this week we are
entertaining 'the strong men from
the West,' and I certainly hope
that the students of this institu
tion will give them a reception
that they will always renjernber
with pleasure, however pffinful
the treatment at the hands of our
football team may be. Such re
ception, however, can not possibly
come spontaneously, but must be
the result of careful preparation.
It is therefore hoped that every
student who can possibly attend
the rally this evening will be
there to absorb the spirit that will
help the team to win its fight on
Saturday.
"Because this is the quarterly
examination period, it is not ad
visable to try to hold much sing
ing in the class rooms, hut I
certainly hope that every spare
minute between classes will be
used to the very best advantage
by everyone in the development
of pep and energy for the evening
rally.
"Let us show the West that the
people of the East are gentlemen
and good sports, but also that
they are the hardest proposition
to tackle on the field of battle
that has ever been met."

RALLY ON EVE
OF HUSKY GAME
Expect Every Cornhusker to
Attend First Pep Meeting
of Season
START PROGRAM 7:15
Meet in Front of Administration
Building before Parade
to Lincoln Hotel
Every loyal Cornhusker rooter is
expected to be present tonight at the
first homecoming football rally of
the season at 7:15 tonight in front
of the Administration building. The
rally will not interfere with plans for
the evening. Five thousand students
are expected.
Students will congregate in front
of the Administration building where
a stand is being erected for the
speakers. Captain Ed Weir will in
troduce the Cornhusker football team
to the students for the first time
this year. A short program will be
held on the campus.
The entire group will then march
south on Twelfth street four abreast
led by the University band and Var
sity cheer leaders. At O street the
parade will go west for three blocks
and up Ninth street to the Lincoln
hotel, where the Washington team
will be staying. Each Washington
player will be introduced by some
member of their coaching staff from
the hotel platform. The rally will
be terminated with yells led by the
Varsity cheer leaders.
Coach Bearg, when interviewed
concerning the rally said, "I am
heartily in accord with these rallies
and hope every student will be there
to yell as they never yelled before
fore, and not quit until Saturday af
ter the game. Few students realize
the tremenduous effect these rallies
have in giving the team a fighting
spirit. Nebraska has a reputation
for supporting her team; let's keep
up the reputation."
Captain Ed Weir said "The spirit
for the football season will be deter
mined by the way the first home
rally goes. The way in which we
get started will make a dot of differ
ence. Don't forget that the spirit of
the students is reflected in the per
formance of the team. This is go
ing to be one of our very toughest
games, and it can't be won by the
eleven alone, the whole school must
be fighting with them."
The Corn Cobs, the pep organiza
tion, will make a trip to very fra
ternity and sorority house on the
campus with an orchestra in an en
deavor to get the largest crowd in
the history of the University to
come to the rally. Tags bearing the
slogan "Huskers Welcome Huskies"
have been put on all the available
cars, according to Robert Lang, the
president of the Innocents, who is in
charge of the rally.
