U. Nebraska-Kansas State Tilt Feature of Conference Frays This Week. By MURLIN SPENCER. The Big Six championship race took a decided turn Saturday with the upset victory of Iowa State over Kansas Aggies. The Aggies, conceded by many to be the out standing contender for the title, was dropped down into third place by its defeat, with Nebraska and Iowa State still tied for the lead. Iowa State's 7 to 6 victory was unexpected to say the least, and proves the Cyclones to be the real dark horse in the conference. Al though the Kaggies outyarded and gained more first downs than Iowa State, they lacked the necessary scoring punch when near the goal line. The Aggie score came on an 80 yard run by Auker. A pass from Shafroth to Wells for 40 yard3 was good for the touchdown for Iowa .State while the toe of Dick Grete added the extra point that proved to be the deciding score of the game. Oklahoma Wins Game. Oklahoma won her first confer ence game from Kansas 10 to 0 in the only other league game sched uled. Kansas is now in a tie for last place with Missouri while Oklahoma jumped to fourth place. A homecoming crowd of 10,000 went wild in the final period as Bob Dunlap ran 47 yards for the touchdown. M a s a a d converted. Warren added the final three points with a placekick from the 43 yard line. Nebraska took a comparatively easy game from Iowa, 7 to 0, in a non-conference game at Lincoln, The work of the Husker line and Marvin Paul, game captain, was especially impressive in the Ne braska victory. The Huskers threw away numerous chances to score. Missouri broke her long losing streak with a 32 to 20 win over Drake at Des Moines Friday night. A powerful offense was responsi ble for the Tiger victory. Huskers Face Aggies. The most important game In the conference this week is the Nebraska-Kansas Aggie game at Manhattan. The championship was expected to hinge on this game, but with the defeat of the Aggies part of the importance of the game is lost. From Nebraska's stand point, however, the game is of de cided importance. Iowa State does not play a conference game this week, and if the Huskers lose the Iowans will be left alone at the (Continued on Page 2.) HOLD ESSAY CONIES!

"The Cornhuskcr, is following the example set last year, in that they are going to have only tbe number of books printed that have been ordered in advance.

Round trip tickets on the Union Pacific special exclusive student train will be put on sale at the office today. Besides the student special train which leaves Lincoln Saturday morning at 7 o'clock there will be a special train run for local foot ball enthusiasts who are not per mitted to ride on the student spe cial. This second section will leave about a half hour after the student special and will precede the stu dent special on the return trip, leaving Manhattan about 6:15 p. m. while the student special will leave for Lincoln at 7 p. m. The fare on both trains is the same. Tickets will be purchased this week for all members of the band, Corn Cobs, and Tassels, each group having decided to take the trip in a body. All the members of three fraternities and three sororities taking first, second and third places in the Budge and Guenzel contest will receive free tickets to the game. The winners of the first two places will also be pre sented with free tickets on the spe cial train. Making allowances for eligibility eliminations, these groups altogether will be respon sible for about 400 students who will be able to make the trip with expenses paid.

The contest is conducted on the basis of 100 votes being credited to a fraternity or sorority for every dollar's worth of merchandise sold and credited by tbe buyer to what ever group he designates. The votes are prorated according to the number of members of the chapter and the group whose mem bers show the highest average number of votes wins. Wednesday night the contest closes and the final winners will be announced as soon as possible. Two Pullman cars will be used to convey the football team to Manhattan on the student special. The team will also return on the special train. In spite of the fact that the Kansas Aggies were relegated to second place by tho Iowa State victory Saturday, the Aggies are rated as Nebraska's stiftcst op position in tbe conference this year. If Nebraska wins from the Aggies, the conference champion ship will be decided at Lincoln the following week when Nebraska plays Iowa State. If Nebraska loses to McMillan's crew, the Ag gies would retain an even chance of tying for first place. Iowa State could defeat Nebriuka and estab lish a clear supremacy to the title. Tbe importance of a large amount of enthusiasm and student spirit in supporting the team in this cruciul game of tho confer ence race has been emphasized by athletic executives who rifcr to the Kansas game of last season as an example of the inspired play ing which is possible for a team with the proper student spirit be hind it.

It was explained that the reason for altering sales plans was due to an administrative suggestion. The administration believed that it might cause a certain degree of reser-tment against the university should an organized student ticket selling campaign be conducted over the entire city during such a time of economical reverse as this. It wa3 recalled that several years ago merchants protested against student soliciting in the business district and it wa3 thought that is would be wiser to drop the campaign as planned. The special "campus day" which opens ticket sales for the formal event will be held Friday, Nov. 13, as originally planned.
