LINCOLN 8, NEBRASKA Cornhusker Sales Begin October 7 A 12-day Cornhusker drive be gins Monday, according to Dean Skokan, Cornhusker business manager, with only 3,000 copies of the university yearbook scheduled to be published. Corn Cobs and Tassels will com bine efforts in the annual cam paign, Skokan pointed out, and added that the books will be dis tributed on a first come, first served basis. All Tassels and Cobs will be equipped with receipt books from Oct. 7 until the supply is ex hausted and each group will be prepared to sell the books at any time during that period. Altho there has been a $3.50 increase in the overall costs of the '47 Cornhusker, students will pay only 50 cents more for the book this year, bringing the total cost to $5.50 per volume.

The first of these are Nov. 17 when the Union will sponsor the orchestra in an all-contemporary UltlI Friday, October 4 1946 Both teams will be seeking their first win, for while Coach Bernie Masterson's club was bow ing to Minnesota 33-6 last week, the 'Cats were taking a 21-7 thumping from Hardin-Simmons. Nebraska's scoring hopes appear to rest with the winged feet of halfbacks Cletus Fischer, Dick Hutton and Bill Moomey, all of whom are threats each time they get the ball on quick-opening T formation plays. Not to be ig nored is the passing arm of Quar terback Sam Vacanti who had an off day at Minneapolis last week.
