Alumnae Will Bo Entertained At Girls' Cornhusker Luncheon Nebraska alumnae returning for Homecoming may once more gather at a pep meeting and luncheon, a get-together of all women in the Uni versity at the Girls' Cornhusker Lun cheon at the Coliseum Saturday noon. Tickets for alumnae will 'be on sale at the door. Arrangements are being made for an attendance oZ about one thousand. The tables which are to be decor ated in scarlet and cream and ar ranged to form the letters "U" and "N", will first be viewed from the balcony where those attending are asked to go on reaching the Coliseum. This arrangement was planned in order that everyone should take their places at the same time. The alumnae members of Mortar board in the past have always enter tained at a separate luncheon on Homecoming day. This year at the Invitation of the committee in charge of the Cornhusker luncheon, twenty- Valley Title at Stake in Grid Classic This Afternoon CENTERS Chancellor Extends Homecoming Welcome ' Chancellor Samuel Avery extends the following wel come to the returning alumni and friends of the University who are here for the annual Homecoming Day: "Again it gives me great pleasure to wel come the alumni of the University back to the campus. Homecoming Day is one of the few times during the year that the undergraduate has an opportunity to meet the alumni of the institution. With this in view, unusual efforts have been made this year to make the day worth while. Two great teams in the Val ley are to meet today. The game will be well worth while, whatever the score may be. I sin cerely hope that this Homecoming Day will be one of the bright spots in the memory of both the alumni and the undergraduates. Sincerely yours," S. Avery. COUNCIL REQUESTS SILENCE IN HALLS Student Governing Body Itsuet State ment Calling Attention To "Quiet" Rule Members of the Student Council i statement later Friday after noon requesting that the student body respect, to the best of their abilitv. the ruling made last fall that halls of various buildings on the cam pus be kept quiet during class hours. This rule has not been violated to on pyppss extent as vet this year but the tendency is, as pointed out by the, Council members, for some stu dents to thoughtlessly violate tnis rule, especially on days preceding football contests. Next week we meet New York and we want all of the spirit possible but commotions caused by "gang" crowds does not seem io hrinc out true Nebraska spirit ac- tn the Council view. Singing real Nebraska praises before classes and all enthusiasm is strongly en roiiraced bv the Council but the "hall rowdies" are to be discouraged. (Continued on page Z) five places have been reserved for iLTtoKoi alumnae, who will have no separate luncheon. Places are also being reserved for tne active mem bers of Mortarboard, the members of the Associated Women Student Board, the guests of honor, Miss Amanda Heppner, Miss Elsie Ford Piper, Miss Erma Appleby, and Mrs E.

"Jue" Brown, left half, who is back in the game after being forced, out for sever'il weeks on account of injuries. He is Nebraska's triple- threat man for today's game. CARNIVAL DANCE STAGED TONIGHT Military Carnival Dance Feature Homecoming At Coliseum to ALUMNI ARE INVITED Welcome Alumni, to the Military Carnival Dance being held this eve ning in the University Coliseum in your honor! Scabbard and Blade, honorary military fraternity, have prepared one of the greatest pro grams ever offered to the returning alumni of the University oi Nebras ka. The Military Carnival Dance is the successor of the Military Carnival which has been held in former years. The party this year is not a benefit, as before, but is given by certain members of the Military Department to the rest of the school, the return ing alumni, and the visitors from other schools. The "Cheerleaders," local University orchestra, will fur nish the music for the evening. This orchestra is said to be the best in the city for this kind of a party. Be sides the usual numbers, several novelty numbers will be given by the "Cheerleaders" who have worked them up for the special benefit of the guests of the University this evening. Pershing Rifles to Drill The Pershing Rifles, picked drill platoon of the basic K. 0. T. C. unit, will give the demonstration that was given for the Banker's Dance Thurs day evening. The Pershing Rifles have worked hard all year td perfect this drill and, with the display of their new uniforms, give a demon stration that will be worth while for every one to see. Helen Aach, Kenneth Cook and Keith Miller will present a short skit during the course of the evening. This skit will present something new and different with reference to the University and it will undoubtedly be one of the main drawing features of the evening. Kaggies are Sent Invitations Elaborate plans have been made for this party under the management of John A. Boyer, general chairman, with the collaboration of August C. Holmquist, John Whelpton and Ar thur Breyer. An invitation was wired to the Kansas Aggie chapter of Scab bard and Blade to attend the Carni val Dance. To entertain these out of the state guests, unusual entertain ment is to be featured by the com mittee. The tickets are on sale at various houses on the campus and they will also be available at the Coliseum this evening. The price is fifty cents apiece or a dollar a couple. Tryouts for Freshman Olympics are Tuesday The freshman class will hold its Olympic tryouts at the Coliseum Tuesday evening at 7 o'clock. All freshmen should turn out for the tryout, when the team which will meet the sophomores Saturday will be chosen. Tryouts will be held for wrest ling and boxing in three weight classes: 135 pound, 145 pound, and 158 pound divisions. A Green Goblin meeting will be held at the same time in the Col iseum. , Student Volunteer Secretary Coming Mr. Andrew T. Roy, traveling sec retary of the Student Volunteer movement, is to be on the campus next week. He will speak at a dinner to be held in the Temple at 6 o'clock Tuesday evening. The Student Volun teer band, under whose supervision the dinner is to be held, are extend in sr. invitations to any one interested in Christian work abroad to bepre- sent. Nebraska1 s Probable Bachficld I f . wm.ft 1 Bobbie Stephens, quarterback, whose brilliant playing in the Iowa State game, won for him a birth on the starting lineup against Kansas Aggies. He is generally conceded the most dangerous man in the Husker lineup for the aerial game. Arnold Oehlrich. fullback, consid ered Nebraska's star line plunger, has won for himself a place on the Hus ker starting lineup today. "Rain and Cooler" Is Weather-Man's Prophecy Nebraska's and Kansas Aggies' football elevens will meet under un favorable weather conditions, prob ably rain, according to Thomas A. Blair, meteorologist. After good wea ther for two Saturdays, the indica tions for today point toward unset tled conditions. The forecast is for rain Friday night and Saturday, and cooler today. All Missouri Valley football games will probably be hampered by rain or unsettled weather. The Pacific coast had rain yesterday and will Drobablv have more today. Rain is forecast in the neighborhood of Chi cago. Eastern gridiron contests will be played under very favorable con ditions, the barometer indicating prospects for fine weather. ETHELYN AYRES TO EDIT STUDENT LIFE Appoint Staff Member of Cornhus ker Humorou Sectionj Work to Start Immediately Ethelvn Avres '28, of Lincoln, will edit the Student Life section of the 1927 Cornhusker, according to an an nouncement made by W. F. Jones, Jr., editor of the yearbook, yesterday. Miss Ares will have as her assist ants in preparing the humor division of the book, the following people: Eunice Hammer, Gladys Solso, Thel ma King, Judd Crocker, Bob Barr, Merle Jones, Betty Bell, Macklin Thomas, Al Macintosh, Stanley Reiff, Dwight Wallace, Alan Wadleigh. The student life section will be a surprising feature of this year's pub lication. It is promised that there will be more "inside dope'' on individuals on the campus than ever before. One reason for this is that the staff will be larger than usual. The staff of the humor division will start work at once. Some copy has already been submitted, and contribu tions are cheerfully accepted by the Cornhusker staff. All copy must be in by March 15, in order that it may be censored and proofread in time for printing in April. W. A. A. Is Planning "Hockey Feed" Soon The Hockey Feed for all members of the Women's Athletic Association and for non-members who have com nfited in ten hockey practices is to be held immediately after Vespers Tues day, November 16, at Ellen Smith Hall. The bulletin on the W. A. A. board must be signed not later than Monday by all who plan to attend. A special program has been planned. The favors will be carried out in Ne braska colors and will reflect the spirit of the hockey season. The Freshman women have corsented to serve. Reservations are fifty cents plate. Sign now! AC Glenn Presnell. right half, whose consistent ground gaining is impor tant in Valley circles, is expected to carry the ball into Aggie territory many times this afternoon. NEW YORK TEAM SENT INVITATION Varsity Dance Committee In vites Team and Hooters To Attend Party MAY INSTALL AMPLIFIER An invitation to attend the next Varsitv dance has been extended the New York University football team by the Party committee. The dance will be held the evening following the New York game, and any New York rooters attending the game are invited to be present Beck's ten-piece band will furnish music for the dance. It is possible, according to R. V. Hoagland, chair man of the committee, that an am plifying system will have been in stalled in the Coliseum by that time, and this will greatly increase the sound of the music throughout the entire floor. The inability of the band to fill the room with music has been one of the weak features of the preceding parties. Permit Issued by Resents The loud speaker system which is to be put into the Coliseum will be made permanent and will probably be paid for by proceeds from the Varsity dances. A permit ordering its purchase has been passed by the Board of Reerents. according to Hoagland, and it is now only a ques tion of time before it will be install ed. Experts have been working on the plans for this addition to the building for some time, and when it is completed it will be of the very best tvne. It will be used for all functions held in the auditorium. The loud speaker now in use is for speakers only. It is not large enough to carry any volume. After the device has been installed in the building, it is probable that orchestras for dances will be put on the stage or on a raised platform in front of the stage. This has not yet been worked out finally. Plans for permanent decorations for the Coliseum are being laid now but it is not probable that they will be put in for a year or two. Pershing Rifles Are Complimented on Drill After putting on what was termed by man yas a perfect drill, the Pershing Rifle Company have received several requests for out-of-town engagements, one of which will take them to Omaha. Capt. Floyd C. Harding, sponsor of the company, and Capt. August Holmquist have started negotia tions with The Aksarben of Oma ha to put on a drill in that city, and are also trying to get an op portunity to drill at a University function. The next regular drill of the Company will take place Thursday at 5:00 o'clock, and from then on drills will be held each Thursday evening only, instead of Tuesday and Thursday as before. Each member will be required to drilj with his respective company two hours per week. Daily Nebraskan Inquiring Reporter . Questions Who will win the foot ball game this afternoon?

Huskers Stress Forward Pass Defense SEASON'S GREATEST RALLY STAGED IN COLISEUM Four Thousand Students and Alumni Hold Best Pep Session Of Year Friday Evening. Coach Bearg, Schulte, Rhodes, and Monte Munn on Program A determined K&ggie aggregation will meet the Huskers on the stadium field at 2 o'clock this afternoon in what prom ises to be the most bitterly contested game of the season a struggle for the right to bid for Valley honors. Nebraska Grads and a special section of Kansas Aggie followers will feature the Homecoming crowd which is being estimated at more than twenty thousand. Confident that their bewildering aerial attack, the most formidable in the Valley, will down the Husker attack, the Aggie crew of thirty-four players arrived in Lincoln early yes terday morning and staged a light workout on the stadium field. The thing that makes their forward passing game so de ceptive and dangerous is that six men on the squad can be used as receivers and four as forward cassers.

ANNUAL WILL HAVE MP FEATDRES Editor of Cornhusker Declares That At Least Five New Ideas Will Appear in Year Book "Since looking over the art work on the division pacrcs and planning other features of the 1927 Cornhus ker, I am confident that yearbook subscribers will enjoy reading the prize-winning book of America next spring when we issue the 1927 book," aid W. F. Jones. Jr.. editor, to a Daily Nebraskan reporter yesterday., The annual will carry through the idea of leadership in as many ways as possible. Although it is not the theme of the book, it will be worked out in several unique ways. A his toric idea featuring leadership will be the subject of the division sheets that have just been finished. New Ideas a Feature There will be at least five ideas in this year's book that have not ap peared in college annuals before. One of these will be worked out in the regular borders on most of the pages. It is a scheme that has not been tried before and one that will be interest ing as well as unique in college an nual layout. The camnus events section will be larger, on pebbled paper with a num ber of pictures, unusual to Nebraska annuals. A special division containing snapshots of individual students will also be featured in the class section. Within a month some sections of the 1927 book will be on the press. The annual is beine printed again by Jacob North & Company, printers of the 1925 and 1926 books. y TUCKER MADE PRESIDENT Miss Bernice Tucker, Havelock, was elected president, and Miss Flor ence Corbin, secretary of the Home Economics Association of District One.

The announcement that Karl Enns, star forward passing quarter back of the Aggies, was injured in final practice and will not be able to start the game somewhat chilled the ardor of Kansas fans. Neither squad has been stopped in its specialty by Valley opponents, and spectators to day will see an attempt to solve that old question Which is the stronger, a line-smashing crew or a squad of aerial experts? Hundreds of the Nebraska alumni have been coming back to the Husker realm for their annual game. A spe cial train bringing approximately 800 Kaggie students and their forty-piece bnnd will arrive in Lincoln at noon. The widespread interest throughout the Valley in today's clash points to the best attendance of the season. Weather predictions were slightly discouraging last night, the weather man giving notice of possible ram. Huge Pep Rally Held Cornhusker spirit which will help the team to win today, was demon strated last night in the largest r.J most enthusiastic rally held this year. The student body under the guidance of Nick Amos, head cheer-leader, pledged its support to the team with an earnestness that will prove to the 'old grads" that Nebraska Spirit still lives and thrives. Coach E. E. Bearg introduced the warriors that will be on the field with the kick-off today. He showed how the line-up would appear on offense and defense. He reminded the four thousand alert fans to watch the linemen in combat today, as they are the men who make it possible for the backs to carry the pigskin for a gain. "Remember that these boys," the coach declared, indicating the team," are giving every ounce they have for you win or lose!" "Choppy" Rhodes, freshman coach and "N" man pointed out that "if we win the game tomorrow from Kansas Aggies, we are one step nearer the white "N" sweater, the emblem of Missouri Valley champions, and we are going to win!" Munn Makes Speech Monte Munn, Nebraska's famous orator, promised for the team that every man would make his mightiest efforts on every down and in his every duty in every play. 'This eame will be a battle," vowed Coach Henry F. Schulte, Ne braska's "Grand Old Man." "It win require all the efforts of the team on the field and all your efforts in the stands to beat the Kaggies tomorrow."
