OCTOB NUMBER AlwAN HAS GRID HEME FEATURED Husker-Tiger Bell Follows Scarlet on Trip Into Mizzou BY MORRIS LIPP. The traditional trophy of Nebraska - Missouri football classics will be taken to Columbia, Mo., for the game Saturday by Ihc lnnoeenls Society. Winner of tlie gridiron battle this week will become possessor of the famous Husker-Tiger Bell and will retain the coveted and prized trophy until its opponent registers a victory in a lutureu- game. During each Nebraska Missouri game, the bell will be on display on the sidelines of the field. Like the famed Brown Jug of the annual Michigan-Minnesota football games, the Husker-Tiger Bell carries with it the aged tradi tion of these two football teams which have battled on the gridiron since 1892. Before the bell was secured as an emblem of genuine good will and respect the Innocents Society of Nebraska and the Student Fed eration of Missouri held for each other, it belonged to a colored church in Seward, Neb. Phi Delta Theta and Delta Tau Delta fraternities of the Nebraska campus took the bell from the rural church in 1898 when the two fraternities were living together. Since then the two Greek letter or ganizations have built separate houses and the bell became the in spiration of an ancient and friend ly feud between the two fra ternities. Each year the bell is the cause of a slight commotion on the cam pus when one fraternity usually makes away with it and keeps it in hiding until the next spring. This good-natured rivalry ceased 200 UN ATTEND OPENING Of ANNUAL EALL FUND FESTIVAL Captains, Workers Receive Instructions for Drive.

Use of the bell as an annual trophy was inaugurated in 1927 when it was first presented to Missouri for their 7 to 6 victory over the Huskers. A bronze plaque "Missouri 7-6 1927" was in laid in the frame of the table which supported the famed bell. Each succeeding year such a plaque has preserved the record of that year's outcome. Nebraska has retained the bell since 1927. Here is what Coach Henry F. Schulte wrote concerning the bell: "Because of the fine games from 1922 to 1927, Nebraska folk liked the Missouri folk. I could sense an undercurrent of strong appre ciation and an apparent willing ness to do something about it. I cast around for some means of crystalizing this feeling which I thought was reciprocated by the good Missourians." "It happened that two fraterni ties on the campus here had been scrapping for a dozen years or more over some old cracked bell. We got hold of the old bell, cast a (Continued on Page 2.)

Punctuality must be observed. Also, before we will so much as consider anyone's skit, those taking part must know the Nebraska Sweetheart song, for we are determined to make the ceremony in wmcn mis year s sweetheart is presented the im pressive one it should be." It was also announced oy Schwenk that it will be necessary for all the skits to be very close to the finished product. Altho this preliminary judging is made in a constructive manner, that is, to give helpful criticism on the acts, the final judging is only a week off. As Schwenk decalred. "There seems to be a superior quality of workmanship in the skits we have looked at up to date, and wun such high standards to be met, coupled with the fact that only a few more than half of the skits en tered will be accepted, the clubs will have to work hard on their acts if thev are to stand the slightest chance." A list of those organizations to be judged Thursday will be pub lished in tomorrow's Nebraskan, and above all, members of the Klub want to emphasize the need for punctuality. Final judging is scheduled for Tuesday. Wednes day, and Thursday of next week. JOURS A LISTS PL AS FOR SATIOSAL MEET Train Concession Rettort Given at Meeting Tuesday.
