Innocents Concentrate
On Improving Cheering
Two new yells will be used to
cheer the Cornhuskers to victory,
members of the Innocents society
announced yesterday after cheer
leaders worked hard during the
Help Wanted.
The co-operation of every
student in the card stunt sec
tion is essential for the success
of the venture. Please abide by
the following instructions at all
home games.
1. Please leave the cards
alone until asked to use them
between halves. They are pur
posely placed under the seats
out of the way.
2. Be sure that there is one
person to a seat and that no
seats are left blank. The seats
have just been marked off and
numbered for your convenience.
3. At the half remove the
cards and read Instructions
carefully, and be sure that the
number of the card corresponds
with the number of the seat.
4. Keep the colored cards on
your Inp all the time between
stunts. This prevents them
from "flashing" and tipping
off the crowd as to what is
coming.
5. For each stunt the cards
should be held so that the bot
tom of the card is level with
the eyes.
6. Please do not look out be
tween the cards during the
time the stunt is being put on.
7. Please do your level best
to get the right color up at the
right time. The success depends
on you,
last two days in polishing their
"pep leadership" for the Cyclone
game Saturday.
Concentrating on making this
year's cheering section the best
ever to grace Memorial stadium,
members of the organization pro
moting enthusiasm during the
game conducted a search for sug
gestions by persons connected with
cheers in years past.
On the advice of Beverly Pinkie,
cheerleader of '32, and Kalph
"Whitey" Reed, 1930-37 cheer
leader chief, the Innocents formu
lated two new yells and two large
signs displaying the words of the
yells.
Huckers, fight!
Huskcrs, fight!
Huskers, fight!
Fight! Fight! Fight!
The other new yell will be used
from the center of the' field at
half-time only. It will go:
Rah, rah, rah, rah, N-e-bra-ski
Rah, rah, rah, rah, N-e-bra-ski
Rah, rah, rah, rah, N-e-bra-ski
Nebraska!
The two large signs will be
about ten feet square. Cardboard
signs displaying the yells will be
interchangeable.
Yell leaders will also concentrate
on the old Nebraska chant fol
lowed by L'-u-u-ni-ver-ver-ver-s-i-t-y.
"All students are requested to
familiarize themselves with the
yells ami the chant and make this
year's cheering superb," Stanley
Brewster, president of Innocents,
said.

To cat they must work. To stay

To get an education they must

time to play the game they love,
the game which is part of them.
To take expense money is in

being carried through college on
their name is embarrassing to
them. To be subjected to the ridi
cule of the "ethical minded" is
annoying to them.
Nebraska football players sim

they play football. . .well.
When persons are so fond of

Cornhusker footballers do so they
