BEARG GIVES MEN REST
Husker Gridders Lay Off Work
For Rest of Week; Pass
Defense Stressed
Nebraska's Scarlet clad Huskers
yesterday went through the last
workout on the schedule for this
week-end and Coach Bearg is giving
his pigskin warriers a three-day rest
before resuming intensive practice
for the important clash with the
Syracuse Orange eleven on Stadium
field Saturday, October 29.
Passing, punting and signal drill
was the extent of the workout last
night. The position of quarterback
will receive a great deal of the ses
sions next week, as well as the punt
ine and passing department. Syr
cuse is bringing a passing aggrega
tion to the Cornhusker stronghold
and Bearg is drilling his men on the
defensive passing attack. The art of
knocking passes out of the air has
received the larger part of the
coachs' time during this week.
Fifth Meeting
The Syracuse-Nebraska game will
be the fifth meeting of the two elev
ens and is booked to be one of the
best home games of the season and
will probably draw one of the largest
crowds. John K. Selleck, manager
of student activities, reports that 15,
000 tickets have already been sold
for the game and he expects the sale
to go over the 25,000 mark before
the day of the game.
This date of the Syracuse clash is

Nebraska Sons Write Dads Inviting
Themlto Celebration on October 29
Dear Dad:
First quarter reports have Just
come out, and I'm "up" in hours
enough so they'll let me stav in
school but I can't get home for a
wbile.
The university has an annual "af
fair" for every fellow's dad. I want
you to break away and come down
for it. All the fellows are writing
home to see if their fathers can't
come down, too. I want you to meet
my room-mate and a couple of mv
profs, and maybe that girl I wrote
about last time
This year's Dad's Day is planned
for Saturday; October 29. Thev
usually put it on the date of a good
football game, and this year they've
scheduled it for the Syracuse game,
and you're not my dad if you don't
want to see that one.
At noon there'll be a big luncheon,
and we'll meet a lot of the dads of
the fellows I run around with. I'd
kind of like to have you see some
of them, I'm mighty close friends
with a dozen or so.
Then we'll go to the game if
you want toand say, if you can,
bring mother. She can't go to the
luncheon that's just for us but we
can take her to the game.
Gosh, sometimes it's lonesome
down here; and the cooking's not
mother's.
Your son, ,
John.

track men who didn't turn out for
the meet, and that he wanted to see
them working before the next con
tests. Summary of Event

Minor Recalls
Syracuse Loss
Five Years Ago
The Daily Nebraskan received a
'etter yesterday from Harry R. Min
or, a former Nebraska football
player, in which he recalled the de
feat of Nebraska by Syracuse in
1922. He also enclosed a group of
letters, which he had received in re
gard to the game. The first of these
appears in today's Daily Nebraskan.
Others will be published from day to
day. Mr. Minor's first letter is as
follows: ,
Syracuse, N. Y., Nov. 5, 1922.
Dear Minor.
Greetings:
By this time you have had the
shock of Nebraska's defeat and it
was a shock to their entire delega
tion as well as friends. Nebraska is
i 1 i c t 41.
Rowe, Mrs. II. Brownell, and Miss ! "JC "r Ti ' ' ,.
t i. i j best teams I have ever seen, it was
their day off and along with a slip
pery field (and without mud cleats)
they skidded into defeat - It is too
bad such a good team is picked off,
but it happens and you have to give
it to the Syracuse team they fought
a wonderful battle. When Nebras
ka goes as she is1 capable of going, I
don't believe there is a team that can
lick her, at least none of the so
called good teams I have seen. Re-
gretting that I cannot write you more
of Nebraska's successes,

department

Cornhusker Daughters Ask Dads to
Bring Mothers Along to Festivities
Dearest Dad:
I have glorious news for you. The
quarterly reports have been released,
and I have passed all of my subjects.
Gee, but it feels good, after working
so hard, for it is such fun to be with
all the girls, and share all of their
good times with them.
But after all, sometimes I wish I
could have you and Mother alone
with me for a few moments 'each
night, just to talk together like we
used to. It is awfully hard to keep
on growing up, when I know that I
am growing further and further away
from you all the time.
Say, Dad, the university is going to
have a Dad's day on October 29. You
know that date, for it is the day of
that Nebraska-Syracuse football
game you have talked so much about.
Won't you forget about business for a
day and come visit me 7 All the
girls are just living for that day, for
most of them have already talked
their dads into coming down.
I know it will do you lots of good
to be here on that day, and I just
won't take "no" for an answer, so
bundle mother into the car, and hus
tle down. She can't go to the ban
quet, but we'll take her to the game,
and we'll go somewhere in the eve
ning where we can be alone. It's
just going to be loads of fun dad,
and I will be awfully disappointed if
you don't come.
Oceans of love to you and mother,
Your Daughter,
Mary.

RULES ALTERED
rDR ACTIVITIES
Students Must Be Carrying at
Least Twelve Hours to
Get Appointments
ALL LISTS TO BE CHECKED
. All minor class officers, chosen at
class elections, and all members of
organization and activities commit
tees, must be approved by the Dean
of Student Affairs before being made
public, according to an announce
ment from the office of Dean Thomp
son yesterday. The ruling comes as
a result of frequent publications of
various appointed officers, some of
which are not eligible under the
Dean's ruling. This does not include
honorary societies.
To be eligible for appointments,
students must be carrying at least
12 hours of successful school work,
and must have carried at least this
many in the previous semester.
Freshmen must be carrying 12 hours
passing work, and must maintain
their good work in order to remain
in the office.
The ruling is being made public,
to save all organizations the trouble
of re-electing persons to fill vacan
cies left by non-eligible students. It
is also the opinion of Dean Thomp
son that those carrying their work
successfully . should be considered
first. Announcements of the Dean's
findings will be returned to the or
ganizations and if they are accep
ted, they are eligible for publication.
Hereafter, the Nebraskan office
accepts no names of appointed com
mittees to officers, unless proof is
given of the Dean's approval.

Nebraska Band Drills
On Letter Formations
For Syracuse Contest
The R, O. T. C. band has spent

mations for the Syracuse football
game October 29. The band has prac
ticed forming a mammoth letter

then march into the "S" formation
and play a Syracuse school song.
For the past few years this has
been the practice of the band, and
much time is spent in perfecting
these letter formations for the foot
ball games. Much favorable com
ment was given at the Washington
gamfl lPt year by students of that
school when tho thirty-piece band
which made the trip formed a "W"
in front of the Washington rootiiig
