the end of the second quarter, ac
cording, to a report from the office

before the scholarship board, 259
were reinstated and will continue
their school work on probation. The

Game Is Scheduled for October
13 in Lincoln; Eight Teams
Form 1928 Opposition
MISSOURI TO PLAY HERE
Nebraska's 1928 gridiron schedule
was completed Wednesday when
Montana was added to the card, mak
ing eight games for next season. The
game with Montana State will be
played in Lincoln on October 13 and
will be the first home game of the
year.
The first game on the Cornhusker
schedule is a Big Six game with the
Iowa State Cyclones at Ames. The
Staters opened the season at Lincoln
this year and the return game will
be played there on October 6. This
game will be followed by an inter
sectional contest when the Scarlet
eleven treks to Syracuse for a re
turn engagement with the Orange
eleven.
Montana and Nebraska did not
sign a home and home contract and
the Bozeman crew will probably not
appear on the 1929 gridiron slate.
The signing of the game with Mon
tana gives Nebraska a schedule of
eight games, five of which are Big
Six games. Three of the conference
tilts are away from home and the re
maining two, Missouri and Kansas
Aggies appear in Lincoln.
Pittsburgh Plays Here.
Pittsburgh will complete the home
schedule, playing on Memorial Sta
dium field NovembeT 17. The sched
ule for next season gives fans a fine
array of football classics. Missouri
at Lincoln on October 27 will be one
of the outstanding battles in the con
ference next fall. Missouri and Ne
braska have worked up an increas
ing rivalry on the gridiron and with
the 7 to 6 defeat of this season, Ne
braska will be out to gain revenge.

DECEMBER 9 IS
DATE SET FOR
TEAM BANQUET
Coliseum Will Be Scene of An
nual Cornhusker Dinner for
Football Men and Coaches
UNIVERSITY MEN INVITED
Honor Guests to be Seated on
Stage and Loudspeakers
Used for Speeches
Nebraska's a n q u al Cornhusker
Banquet in honor of the football
team and coaches is scheduled for
Friday evening, Dec. 9, in the Col
iseum. All university men are in
vited to attend this dinner and honor
their team.
This is the first year that the) af
fair has been held in the Coliseum,
the Scottish Rite Temple having bn
the scene of the banquet in former
years. The reason for the change is
that the Coliseum is a university
building, devoted to athletics and
more suitable in every way to an
affair of this kind.
Football Captain May Be Announced
The most important part of the
banquet in former years has been
the announcement of the football
captain for the following year. This
may be a part of the program at this
Cornhusker banquet, but no definite
announcement of the prograi has
been made as yet. Special entertain-,
ment has been scheduled, which will
probably include two orchestras.
Short talks will be made by re
tiring Cornhuskers, and also by some
of the coaches. The team and coaches
will be placed on the stage, and loud
speakers will be used so that all of
the speeches may be heard. The
toastmaster will be announced later.
An approximate estimation of at
tendance this year has been placed
at 1,000 by a member of the commit
tee in charge. Tickets will sell for
one dollar, and may be 'obtained Jit
fraternity houses or at Hayes'
office in the Temple, University Y.
M. C. A. rooms.
GRUMANN SPEAKS
AT WORLD FORUH
"Futuristic Art" Is Subject of Ad
dress by Director of School
of Fine Arts
"Every art has to maintain a way
of keeping young and alive; without
that it must die," stated Paul H.
Grummann, director of the School of
Fine Arts, at the World Forum
luncheon yesterday noon. With "Fu
turistic Art" as the subject of his
talk, he attempted to bring out the
facts in relation to present day art
and that of fifty years ago.
"There was never a time when
there weren't young people with new
ideas to overturn the old ones con
cerning art," he continued. "We are
in the midst of a futuristic move
ment. Painters today are suspicious
of art critics and professors, be
cause they believe that they have a
distorted sense of the value of art.
Fifty years ago the art of photog
raphy was introduced and immedi
ately the question rose as to whether
or not photography was art. The
result of this discussion was that
artists began to deviate from exact
reproduction, as had been the cus
tom, to combine color with the ef
fects that a camera cannot produce.
Stage of Over-Refinement Reached
The art of fifty years ago in com
parison with the art of primitive life
had reached the stage of over-refinement,
that is, pictures were overdone,
and were resemblances of photog
raphy work. The costumes worn by
people fifty years ago were most
hideous. There was such an atmo
sphere of over-refinement that peo
ple dressed in all sorts of costumes
which ' impaired their health. The
mark of a true lady was the fact that
