Every Loyal Student Will Bid Team Farewell tonight
The University of Nebraska football team leaves on its longest trip tonight. It will go 2,000 miles, to a strange foe on a foreign shore, to battle for the honor of Nebraska against a hostile team, before a hostile audience, who are staking their all on the result.
It is a battle of the middle west against the coast, and the eyes of all the United States will be upon the Cornhuskers as they trot upon the field next Saturday.
Tonight, commencing at 7:30, a rally will be held in Memorial hall, to assure the team that their school is behind them. If any student wants Nebraska to lose, he will stay away from that rally. An absence of the true Cornhusker spirit will convince the team that it means little to the students whether they win or not.
Every man or woman student who does not go to that rally, is declaring that he doesn't care what happens next Saturday.
Fault has already been found with Nebraska University spirit, but that spirit will not fail tonight.
The Rally Program
The rally program will be:
7:30- Band will play between Armory and University hall.
7:40- Rally will begin in the Armory. Short speeches by not more than three speakers.
8:00- Parade will be formed, with torches and Roman candles, that will start from the Armory, reaching Sixteenth and O streets not later than 8:15 p.m.
8:15 to 9- Torchlight parade, led by the band, escorting the team and the Cornhuskers to the Northwestern station. The route fo the parade will be west on O to Ninth, and north on Ninth to the station.
The committee of thirty who have charge of the rally will meet in The Daily Nebraskan office promptly at 7 o'clock.
