Old Nebraska "grads" were the hosts
Wednesday night to more than 300 girdlron
warriors of the schools of Nebraska, In
cluding twenty brawny and husky mn
who fought on the field of battle for the
Vnlverslty of Nebraska either last season
or In seasons gone by. at a monstrous ban
quet at the University's clubs rooms 5n
tho Board of Trade building.
Men of fame In foot ball annals of the
state university rubbed , elbows and
mingled with the youngsters' -who In time
aro to take their ;itaccs. Twenty blBh
schools of the state rent almost 2o0 of
their leading' athletes to Omaha and these
same athletes will go back home with a
greater desire to go to their out. state,
university than they ever had before.
The big banquet, which has -'been the
tlK of the town for many weeks, will go
down -in ltlstory al the greatest and most
Hticcessful undertaking over attempted by
tho local alumni of thp state university.
The spirit of their alma mater Infected
the hearts of every Nebraska alumnus
present and the evening was spent In
round after round of pleasure.
Foot ball players of yesterday swapped
yarns with gridiron heroes of today, while
tho high school boys listened with awe to
talcs of games won In the last few mln
ntes of play and sensational runs for
touchdowns when touchdowns meant vie-tory.

Diverting from tho customs surrounding
banquets since time Immemorial, the
ciowd of newsboys rushed Into the dining
room yelling: "Huxtrlc! lluxtrlc:" and
then began to distribute papers among
the banqueters gratis. It proved to be
a foot ball extra of Thp Bee, put out
especially for tho occasion. The entire
first page was devoted to the Cornhusk- i
era and the banquet. J
Robert Mauley, "97, was toastmaster of i
the occasion. He first called upon the j
Nebraska warriors to appear In the open, i
after which R. O. Stelhm. coach of the
1912 Cornhusker team, gave the first
speech of the evening. He told of the
work of the team and of Its successful
season. He asked that the high school
foot ball players. Instead of going to
eastern schools to show their ability as
players, turn their footsteps to Nebraska
where they would be given equal. If not
better, opportunities to exhibit their
prowess on the gridiron.

Charles Junod of the class of '(G of
Knox collego told of the early games

Victor Roscwater, former regent of the
university of Nebraska In 1S96-7. Ho said
he encouraged a greater university and
a greater foot ball team In the future
and told of the foot ball team of the
earlier day.
George Coupland. a member of the pres
ent Board of Regents, sprung a surprise
by making public the report of the Board
of Regents to the governor and the legis
lature. Samuel Avery, chancellor of the
university, commended the work of Coach
Stlehm and said he was a strong advo
cator of foot ball and assisted It to be

make the occasion one long to be remem
bered. Long speeches were tabooed by
the committee. Tho list of speakers was
limited to six and th"y were warned be
fore taking tho floor not to orato to any
length. Tho addresses were Intermingled
1 with music, while the banquet courses
were Interspersed with cabaret numbers.
Not to go back on promises" of punc
tuality made by the committee, the first
course was served promptly at 7 o'clock
and the first cabaret feature of the even
ing started at the same time. The "Alpine
Four," 'appearing at tho Gayety theater
this week, started the hair rolling with. a.
lively ragtime song. Simultaneously the
diners cast nil troubles and cares to tho
wind and the fun commenced and the'Yun
did not cease until tho yhoIe assemblage"
arose in a body and sang "America,''
closing the festivities.

Not content with exhibiting the famous
men of today, the old timers such as
Dean Ringer, Tata Matters, Owen l'Vank
And Frank Johnson were called upon to
. show themselves and each responded with
purr, unadulterated joy.
Js'ever did cabaret entertainers receive
Kiich receptions and applause as tlAse
who appeared before the banqueters last
evening. .Such npplauso an mere hand
clapping was out of the question. Good
old yells, stamping of feet and hammer
ing on the tables were the kind of tokens
of appreciations handed out. Miss Belle
Inman. the local cabaret singer, was
given a rousing reception and was called
back time after time. Among other en
tertainers were Alexander and Keldlng or Anto Coats,
