GRID PROSPECTS

Nebraskans Classed to Win in
Battle With Syracuse;
Weight Is Factor
OPPONENTS LINE NAMED
Syracuse, N. Y., Oct. 27 (Spe
cial to the Daily Nebraskan.) Al
though their season so far has been
much better than even the most op
tomistic Orange rooter had dared
hope for in September, Lew And
reas' gridders are generally rated as
the underdog in the approaching in
tersectional battle with Nebraska.
The Cornhuskers' 194 pound line
will outweigh the Syracuse eleven
several pounds to the man, and the
many letter men available for the
western team have the advantage of
experience over the Syracusans who
were nothing but greenhorns last
month, as far as playing with the
varsity goes.
A victory over the Cornhuskers
would place Syracuse as one of the
outstanding teams of the country,
and the entire east is watching with
anxious eyes the performance of the

interesting facts to the student
The fees which are paid at Ne

those exacted from students in other
schools.
Under present agreement among
the members of the Association of
College and University Officers, a
list of fees which each school charged
by them is prohibited for publica

fees may be published if they are
not identified with a specific univer

Miss Bess Steele Has
Course of Lectures on
Making Home Pleasant
A course of lectures and demon
strations is being given by Miss Bess
Steele to the home economics depart
ment of the Lincoln Women's club.
The meetings are held in Faculty
hall in the Temple building once
every two weeks. Twenty-five mem
bers attended the first meeting held
October 14. A general discussion
concerning the needs of home-makers
in beautiful house furnishings was
held.
The
course will include work on
color in the home, walls, use of tex-
tiles, windows and their treatment,
furniture and its arrangement, re-
finishing old furniture, slip covers,
cushions, lamp shades and such, pic
tures and their use in the home.
The enthusiasm evidenced that the
first meeting promised a most inter
est and profitable course.
One 'little chap, ragged of clothes
but widee-eyed and beaming, has not
missed a day since school started. He
invariably steals up shyly and stands
by a tree until the rest of his play
mates arrive to keep him company.
Tiny chaps and big ones, dirty
faced and clean-faced, black, white,
and indifferent shades, some dashing
up proudly on scooters and others on
roller skates, the banker' s baby and
just plain Johnny O'Grady forget all
previous distinctions and act just like
any natural gang of children act
when the band comes marching down
the field playing a gay tune, heeds
up, instruments straight ahead, every
man in step and in line.
It's a safe venture to say a lot of
grown-ups wish they were small
again when they see the children of
Fourteenth street playing make be
lieve with the band.

Little Weather Change
For Satvrdaus Game
Predicted by Bureau
Weather for the Syracuse-Ne'
braska game will be warm, and sim
ilar to the condition that prevailed
for the Cirinnell game which was
staged two weeks ago. No marked
degree of change in weather can be
hoped for at this time, according to
T. A. Blair, head of the weather bur
eau which is stationed in the physical
laboratory building on the city cam
pus.
According to Mr. Blair's surveys
last evening, there will be very little
change toward cooler weather by Sat
urday. The weather for Friday was
given as fair and somewhat cooler
and Mr. Blair believes that there is a
chance for it to keep on getting
"but not much."

-Jmeet Drake1 Saturday, between halves
of the Nebraska-Syracuse game, on
the regular five-mile course. The
Huskers will face the Des Moiners

Overcome by the heat in the dual
meet with Kansas Aggies a week ago,

ton is a sophomore. He finished
seventh in the last cross-country
trials and has run close to Griffen
and Batie, the other two sophomores
on the team consistently. He was
bothered earlier in the season with
a lame back but has been running in
good time the last three weeks.
Nebraska completely swamped the
Drake harriers a 'year ago over the
game course, all six Huskers finish
ingg before a single Bulldog hit the
final tape. What Drake has in the
way of a cross-country team this yeai
is not known.
Coach Schulte stated Thursday
that 'the team he is running would
nave to beat them if they are to be
beaten. "I can't afford to run the
risk of losing Johnson and Cummings

sible, wear red sweaters, as this,
combined with the white shirts as
a background, makes a permanent
red N.

LARGE RALLY
IS PLANNED
FOR TONIGHT
Pep Meeting ' for Syracuse
Game Expected to Be Larg
est of Grid Season
PARADE IS ARRANGED
Procession to March to Lincoln
Hotel Where Welcome to
Syracuse Given
The rally for the Nebraska-Syracuse
game will be held In the colis
eum at 7:15 o'clock this evening. It
is expected to be the largest one of
the season. It will end in a parade
to the Lincoln hotel. Here it is ex
pected that the Syracuse team will
receive one of the greatest Cornhus
ker welcomes that tradition has
known.
Starting at 7:30 the rally will be
broadcasted over radio station KFAB.
Radio fans who listen in on Husker
grid tilt reports will be given the
first oportunity to hear a Nebraska
football rally. The committee in
charge is urging every student to
attend the pep meeting.
Arrangements are being made for
talks by Coach Lew Andrews of the
Syracuse team, and George B. Thurs
ton, graduate manager. Prominent
Syracuse gridsters may address the
aggregation, and Coaches Bearg,
Hutchison and Rhodes, will give short
speeches relative to tomorrow's
game. The Corn Cobs will introduce
and demonstrate a new marching
step which will be used in the pep
parade to follow.
Procession Schedule
Organized by the Corn Cobs and
led by the University of Nebraska
band, the procession will go to the
Lincoln hotel. The Syracuse-Nebraska
game is considered by many to be
equal in importance to the memor
able Notre Dame game two years ago.
The parade which greeted Rockne's
men at the hotel is still remembered,
and may be duplicated this evening.
"We are, expecting," declared a
member of the rally committee, "a
mass of wildly cheering students to'
jam the street from curb to curb for
blocks. The din and clamor should
awaken every person in Lincoln with
the fact that Nebraska fights tomor
row!" An impromptu rally was held last
night, giving evidence to the fact
that spirit is high, and will reach its
apex this evening. The enthusiasm
which has been increasing all week
will assure a record rally.
Rallies Staged Today
A short pep-session will be held
in front of Social Sciences at 11
o'clock this morning. Some classes
have already started the singing of
Nebraska songs at the beginning of
the hour. It is hoped that no class in
the University of Nebraska will be
gin today without first singing a
Cornhusker song. This is an old cus
tom and considered worthy of re
vival. The rally committee invites every
dad who is in Lincoln to attend the
rally at the coliseum. It is considered
the first number of the Dads' day
program, and will give these men an
opportunity to witness the enthus
iasm of Nebraskans on the eve of a
decisive game.
Summer School
Students Like
Early Classes
Questionaire were given out during
the summer session asking the stu
dents to indicate at which hours they
preferred to have their classes. Not
a one of those ambitious souls was
the least backward in showing his
preferrence for early morning
classes.
Dean Sealock compiled these ques
tionaires and found that eight out of
every ten summer school students
preferred classes at 7 o'clock in the,
morning to classes from 1 o'clock to
4 o'clock in the afternoon. Seven
out of ten studetns were willing to
put lunch off an hour and take a 12
o'clock class rather than to take
classes at 1 or 2 o'clock, and nine out
of ten students chose a 12 o'clock
class to a 3 o'clock or 4 o'clock.
The university's present plan of
two six weeks summer terms, rather
than one eight or nine weeks term.
1 m Sealock report", was the choice
of seventy-five percent of the stu
dents.
Dean Sealock found that among
thirty-four of the leading educational
institutions in the country twenty
eight have summer sessions oonsist-
liig of one or two six weka ttm..
For the majority of summer school
students, the expenses for board and
room for a six weeks summer term
are between $50 and $70. The to
tal average expense for each student
for one term of m"x weeL.-s. excluMva
