Better—Semon
Arrangements are nearly completed for the seventh annual Sophomore Hop, which will be given Friday, November 24, in Robinson Gymnastics, according to Lionel Semon, manager of the party this year.

"The waste of time which this feature usually necessitates will thus be avoided, and the money saved will cause a reduction in price, and some will be put into better music and decorations. Attractive leather program will be another feature of the party. The price which in the past has been $4.00 has been reduced to $3.50."
"The attractive features of previous Hill parties have been considered," the manager said this morning. "All the parties will be included in this year's party."

All students, of the University are expected to spend as much time as possible at football practice every afternoon this week. The squad is entering on a final drive for the Nebraska game, and will be out on the stadium field until dark every day.

"Remember 'the game two years ago. The Cornuhskers had as great a team then as they have now, and just beaten Rutgers over overwhelmingly. 'Be Neat Away' a slogan that will prove true again next Saturday on the stadium field."
