University Of Nebraska left tonight over
the Union Pacific for Lawrence Kan, TO
cheer the Cornhuskers in their annual
struggle with the Jayhawkers There was
another enthusiastic gathering of students
at the depot. Nebraska goods are deeply
interested in the outcome OF the game and
a large number of girls took ADVANTAGE
of the excursion. The train left at s o'clock

morning. The rooters will go directly TO
the station to meet the team, which comes
TO Lawrence from Kansas City. There will

sition OF some OF the deans put the
scheme to the bad. and the best that can
be assured Is a special convocation rally
