Dame may meet in a pOst-season
game in Chicago or Omaha is Civ

husker rOoter and follower must be
content with the 1913 record as 1t

After the game with the Aggies to-
day, Coach Gray will turn his football

| ing will be broken-and the noise will
be heard all over College hill. The

player must follow from the first call
from the gridiron until the big
Thanksgiving feed after the holiday
contest.
