CAPITA IN GOETZE BACK FROM
EUROPE AND BUSY.
REGULAR PRACTICE v TODAY
More Rigid Rules to Be Enforced This
Year In Order to Make a Record
Cross Country
8quad.
By H. I. Kyle.
Aspirants for cross country honors
will begin regular practice today.
Coach Reed and Captain Goetze will
meet the men In the locker room at
11 o'clock Thursday for the purpose
of organizing the squad and outlining
the course of -training: One of the
principal reasons -why Nebraska has
not been more successful in tbjo long
distance- sport," said Captain Goetze
yesterday, "is that the men have been
left too much to themselves. We hope
to lay down- a rigid course of training
for tire men and to hold thorn to it as
much as possible."
Captain Goetze spent the summer in
Europe; 'He was in Franfurt, Ger
many, when the war broke out, and
thought for a .time that he would not
be able to lead the boys over the" hills
this fall. However, 'he succeeded in
getting away after a three weeks'
delay.
Some of the leather lunged athletes
from whom the squad will be made
are. Captain Goetze, McMasterscaptalh
of the nineteen thirteen team, Kratz
and Kubik veterans of the last year's:
'team, and Ralph Anderson, Raiche'
and others who showed up well as
freshmjen last fall. Spohn, Lohmann
and Scottj all experienced track men,
will also make an effort, to land a
place'on the varsity..
" The 'Missouri Valley meet, which
will probably be held at Ames, 1s the
anost -important cones t on the schedule.
The teain. will also enter meets at Kan
sas City and Omatia, and if they show
up well enough in these-contests a
team will be entered in 'the annual
western meet at Chicago.

PUS THI8 YEAR.
BUSINESS MANAGER IS BUSY
Publication Already Classed With
Prominent Magazines of the East
Cartoons Better Tiiaci
Ever. Before. .
In an interview with one of the
editors of the Awkwan he said, "the
idea of a bi-monthly publication which
would reflect Cornhusker spirit and
sentiment through the medium of car
toons, wit and humor was taken from
the big colleges of the east.. Such
magazines have for years' been the
most popular collegiate publications
there." The "Cornell Widow," the
"Harvard Lampoon," the "Columbia
Jester," and other magazines of the
same order enjoy a national reputa
tion. It was with the idea of putting
Nebraska In a class with these schools
that Awgwan was originated.. We wish
to give our cartoonist and writers the
same opportunity for development en
joyed by the.students of the eastern
colleges. Already through the inspira
tion of their work published in Aw
gwan two of our best known cartoon
ists of lastyear "have been encouraged
to continue their development in the
Chicago school of art. These men are
Paul Dewell and Earl Reed. Awgwan
is succeeding in developing a great
deal of cartoonist talent.
Prominent professors have said that
Awgwan's cartoons are the best ever
produced at this university. This state
ment is made not excepting the work
of; the now famous Herbert Johnson,
cartoonist for the Saturday Evening
Post, who formerly cartooned for. the
"Nebraska Arrow Head."

Mr. Harry Curtis of the class of '12,
