Stoking the pep fires for
Nebraska's first Big Six home
game, the student rally com
mittee yesterday issued a chal
lenge to every Husker grid fan
when it announced plans for a
huge pep demonstration to start
tonight at 7 o'clock. Corn Cobs,
Tassels, the university band and
Innocents w'U lead the parade
from the Temple, thru sorority row
to the stadium.
Special recognition will be given
those Huskers who are wearing
the scarlet and cream for the first
season, it was learned. The show
ing they have made in Nebraska's
games this year has prompted the
committee to plan Friday night's
rally especially for them, members
of the committee stated.
Assembling in front of the Tem
ple at seven, the rally will follow
a new route to the stadium, it was
learned. Since a number of the
near campus houses have not been
passed in recent rallies, the parade
tonight will go east to 16th and R
streets, then one block south, turn
east one block, then rorth to 17th
and R, back to 16th street and
from there the regular itinerary to
Memorial stadium.
A platform will be erected at the
east entrance to the stadium,
where the demonstration will b
held. Members of the football
squad, Game Captain Glen Justice
and Coaches Browne and Weir
have been asked to lead the brief
pep session.
Every effort Is being made to
encourage all students to turn out
for the demonstration. Co-operation
of fraternities and sororities
has been promised. The committee
has issued a special Invitation ask
ing delegates to the State Teach
ers convention, to attend.
"If attendance at previous ral
lies this fall, if the fact that to
morrow's game is certain to be a
tough battle, as evidenced by last
week's upset that it is the first Big
Six home game, are indications,
we should have the biggest crowd
ever assembled for a football
rally," Fred Nicklas, chairman of
the rally committee, stated yester
day. TAKES SECOND PLACE

throngs which are expected to see
the game.
Apprehension concerning the
Ames invasion is an unusual situa

teen years record which shows no
victories for the Cyclones, would
indicate. Little heralded in pre
season dope, the Veenkermen how
ever, have surprised Big Six and
outside teams alike with their
prowess and come to Lincoln de
termined to avenge past defeats.
The opening Big Six game of the
home season, Saturday's game
may go far in deciding the confer
ence championship. Ames hopes
are the highest In several years,
and the situation somewhat paral
lels that of 1932 when the Cyclones
came to Lincoln, title-bound, only
to be repulsed 23 to 0 by the pow
erful Husker eleven.
Nebraska enters the game Sat
urday with a record of twenty con
se!fitive conference wins, and a
four year record of no defeats on
home soli which will be an added
incentive to the Huskers.
Iowa State comes to town thir
year with a flock of sophomores as
