Coach Charles Black sent his reBli
lars through a stiff workout last
night under the three large arc
lights erected recently, in oraer
that they might be accustomed to
the artificial illumination, the
Varsity squad practiced for an hour
on the Coliseum court.
A long drill on passing, offensive
and defensive play was terminated
with a short scrimmage session
which gave the squad the last hard
scrimmage before the South Da

As yet no indications of the start

most minutes during the game.
Squad Looks Good
"The squad looks much better
now than It did at this time last
year," declared Coach Black last
night. "Because of the late start in
practice for the game Thursday
night I have been using many dif

STUDENTS CALL FOR
More Than 2100 Football
Books Were Exchanged
Yesterday
EXPECT LARGE CROWDS
Approximately 2,100 football cou
pon books were exchanged for sea
son books for basketball, baseball,
wrestling and track yesterday at
the student activities office. As
usual the line began forming early
in the morning to get the tickets
exchanged.
John K. Selleck announced that
tbey would continue exchanging
the books so that those who neg
lected to bring them down yester
day can still do so. The football
books, it was announced, would be
exchanged In January.
Large Crowds Predicted.
Larger crowds are expected at
the games this year than in any
previous years according to Mr.
Selleck. The largest crowds last
year were for the Missouri and the
Kansas games when about 4,000 at
tended. The seating capacity of the
Coliseum for basketball games is
7,500.
This is the first year that the
University has been able to handle
the basketball crowds. Last year
there was no paving in front of the
Coliseum as there is now and it
was quite often a 6ea of mud. Be
fore the Coliseum was built the
Varsity basketball games were then
played in the Armony which would
seat only about 1,100 persons. It
was always packed to capacity. In
the last three years there has been
an Increase from 1,100 to 4.000.
It is Interesting to note that the
larger crowds attended basketball
games last year than attended foot
ball games eight years ago. Mr.
Selleck believes that the Coliseum
will be packed to capacity with
basketball crowds in the near fu
ture. .

Christmas Meeting Is,
Held by Ag Y. M. C. A.
At the Christmas meeting Tues
day, Dec. 18, the Y. W. C. A. of the
College of Agriculture, a twenty
five minute program was given.
The program consisted of a scrip
ture reading, carol singing and a
reading, "The Christmas Angel," by
Walter Ben Hare, given by Miss
Frances McChesney.
Sun Rises at 7:48 O'clock
And Goes Down, at 5:03
As Extreme Southern Or
bit Is Reached
Friday, December 21, will be the
shortest day in the whole year,
according to Professor, O. D. Swe
xey, chairman of the department
of astronomy. The reason for this
is that the sun rises and sets far
to the south, and therefore has
leas time to shed light on the
earth.
Contrary to a more or less prev
alent conception, the day itself
still contains the regular twenty
four hours. However, on this day
the sun rises later and sets earlier
than any other time in the year,
and therefore the amount of day
light is at its minimum.
According to Professor Swexey,
the shortest day may vary as to
the exact date. He explains this
by the fact that a year contains
365 1-4 days, and for three suc
cessive times each year Increases
one-fourth of a day. After it has
increased to 366 days the year then
drops back to 365 days and again
begins to Increase. The shortest
day, therefore, may vary according
to the length of the year.
Professor Swezey states that on
Friday the sun "will rise at 7:48
a. m. and will set at 5:03 p. m.
The day will be exactly ten hours
and fifteen seconds long.
According to Professor Swezey
the reason that ' the days grow
succeedlngly shorter is that the
sun continually describes a more
southern orbit; and when It is at
its most southern the day is the
shortest of the year. This year the
sun reaches its farthest southern
point at 9 p. m. on Friday.

DECEMBER ISSUE OF
Magazine Containing Stories
Of Alumni Is Ready for
Distribution

Alumnus, official publication of the
Alumni association, will be ready
for distribution Wednesday. This
month's edition contains many ar
ticles on the alumni activities, es

Nebraska-Army game.
Tbe Nebraska Alumnus says.
"When 300 Cornhusker alumni
crowded Into the ballroom of the
Hotel Commodore for a buffet sup
per the evening before the Army
game, and then multiplied them
selves with their friends, relatives
and countrymen to mass some four
thousand strong at West Point,
Mlchte Field, Nebraska affairs in
the far east touched a new high
point of Interest and enthusiasm."
Chancellor Burnett was the prin
cipal speaker of the evening. This
is the first time that any Nebraska
chancellor ever addressed the New
York alumni.
Chancellor Burnett Writes
The feature article written by
Chancellor E. A. Burnett, "What
Is a Professor Worth?" contains a
paragraph that, illustrates a policy
that the University Is advised to
follow. It reads: "I should like to
see at the University of Nebraska
an Increasingly large number of
highly outstanding men and wo
men. I should like to have a few
salaries sufficiently attractive to
secure and hold the best known
men and women. I should like to
have a few worth-while prizes
hung up to be striven for." To
carry out such a policy approxi
mately I13S.000 would be used,
taken from the 1263,000 appropria
tion that has been asked for by
the University for the payment of
better salaries.

' "I am in favor of It, for these rea
sons It furnishes good entertain

BREAKS OLD TRADITION
Scarlet and Cream Slip-Over
Gives Way to the New
Freshman CoLr
The list of freshman gridiron nu
meral winners this year is the larg
est In the history of the University
of Nebraska, fifty-nine men win
ning the coveted emblems. Several
other men will be awarded numer
als if third quarter reports show
them to be up In over twelve hours
and should bring the list up to
above sixty.
Awarding of freshman numeral
sweaters will mark the breaking of
an old tradition and the beginning
of a new.
Change Colors
It has been the custom in the
past to award the first year men
cardinal slip-over sweaters with
white letters. At a recent meeting
of the "N" Club, the members de
cided that cardinal and white
should be kept as varsity colors
alone. This was done to establish
a certain standard color whereby
a Nebraska varsity man might feel
that he was not sharing the colors
with men who had not made their
letters.
The numeral sweaters awarded
to the freshman of '28 are to be
dark blue. The numerals will be
cardinal on a white background.
Blue was chosen as the color for
the sweater since the freshman
jersies : are blue. By awarding
such sweaters, the committee feels
that it will establish the custom of
awarding cardinal and cream
sweater to "N" men only and thus
create a standard.
Begins New Tradition
Director Gish stated that he
knew an old tradition was being
broken when the type of sweater
to be awarded this year was
chosen but he thought the new
type of sweater would be liked and
would mark the beginning ot a new
tradition. . , .. ,
There were' thirty -five' numerals
awarded last year and this is a
fairly accurate average of the past
years.
The emblems were awarded to
those squad members who were
faithful In practice and up in their
studies. League teems were or
ganised and played an independent
schedule of games. The yearling
varsity was kept busy working out
opponent's plays to spring on the
varsity.
Coach Praises Treshman
Special mention of the faithful
ness of the league members was
made by Charley Black, freshman
coach. "We found Just as good
men In the league teams as were
on the freshman varsity, he said.
This was due to the fact that, we
had to pick our men so soon In the
season. The strength of Uiprb

fact that late in the season a
