Victor of the Marcus Harold Of the 140 charter members of the organiza tion, fifty were democrats, two regis tered as socialists, nine as progres sives, and eighty-nine republicans. Of the republicans, twenty-five desig nated themselves as "Wilson repub licans." Mr. SorenBen called the meeting" to order. The forming, of such .an or ganization, he said, is of profound sig nificance, signifying the downfall of the pernicious party loyalty which has bound voters to unfit politicians and; candidates. These democrats, repub licans, progressives and socialists found themselves agreeing in support ing R. B. Howell for governor because he stands for the better things in politics. He is able, honest and fights for his conv'ctions. W. L. Locke discussed Howell's qualifications for governor and pro nounced him by far the most promis ing political figure now on the Ne braska horizon.

HBHiHlHKjitiBBIB Chancellor Samuel Avery was born in LaMoille, Illinois, in 1865, and re ceived his early education in the schools of that place. Coming to Ne braska in the early '80's, he settled on a farm near Unadilla. He soon concluded, however, that a college ed ucation was a desirable asset, so he entered Doane College in 1883 and graduated in 1887. Having decided to make educational work his life calling, he came to the University of Nebraska and took a. Bachelor of Sci ence degree in 1892, and:a Master of Arts degree in 1894. By that time he had become a confirmed specialist in ALL CHURCHES HOLD RECEPTIONS FRIDAY Hundreds of Students Visit at Their Respective Churches Freshmen Become Acquainted. Friday evening the various churches of Lincoln held student receptions in their church parlors. It has been the custom for several .years for the dif ferent churches to entertain the stu dents some time during the first few weeks of school, but this year the Chancellor urged the churches to all have their receptions on the same evening. Acting upon this suggestion, the date was fixed for October 2. The meetings were all of an informal na ture' and after short programs the evening was spent in various amuse ments designed to acquaint the old and new students with the people of the eaurch. The churches are making concentrated efforts to make students feel at home In the church of their choice and the student reception is the initial, step in this. process. WHO'S WHO CHANCELLOR AVERY chemistry, and following the example of many other eminent men who have won distinction in the scientific field, he decided to go to Germany for fur ther study. He took his doctor's de gree from Heldelburg in 1896. He began his life work as teacher of chemistry In the Nebraska Agricul tural Experiment Station in 189C. In 1899 he accepted a call to the Chem istry department of the University of Idaho, in which place he remained until 1901. In that year he returned to the University of Nebraska and again became connected with our de partment of Chemistry. His promo tion was rapid, and in 1905 he was HARLEY WITHDRAWN. One of the earliest candidates for the senior presidency, Robert Harley, withdrew his filing late Friday after noon. He declares that the reason for his withdrawal is the candidacy of Victor Halllgan, to whom Mr. Harley has pledged his hearty support.

Upon the resignation of Chancellor Emeri tus Andrews in 1908, he was selected as Acting Chancellor to serve until a regular chief was formally appointed. In 1909 this temporary appointment was made permanent, and ho became Chancellor of the University of Ne braska, which position he has since held. Doctor Avery is the holder of many honors and prizes in scholarship and science, is the author of several chem ical publications, and has lectured widely on scientific subjects.

On the 29th of last May, fifty-three men were given commissions to offi cer the Cadet Regiment for the en suing year. To date there have been twenty new appointments to fill the places of those who have dropped out or have been moed up. This moving up process has left tho regiment al most bare of second and third lieu tenants. An order was published Friday mak ing J. E. Allison, former captain of Company M, major of the Third bat-' talion, and L. L. Ewing of Company D, captain of Company M. By the same order Harry K. Grainger was advanced to the first lieutenancy of Company D. It is thought that, with the exception of a few minor adjust-; ments from time to time, there will; be no more changes this year. THE FIRST VICTORY WASHBURN IS DEFEATED, BUT CROSS NEBRASKA'S GOAL. MUCH FUMBLING MARS GAME Nebraska Team Shows Promise for Another Missouri Valley Cham pionship, But Are Sadly In Need of Experience. (By H. I. Kyle.) In a game marked by many brilliant gains and marred by many costly fumbles, the Cornhuskers initiated the season by defeating the whirlwind Ichabods by the score of 14 to 7. On Nebraska's side the game was an ex hibition of brilliant individual playing, coupled with miserable team work, while Washburn's game was the epitome of both. Statistics of the game show that Ne braska carried the ball for a total of 481 yards, making first down seven teen times, as against 173 yards and only one first down for her opponents. Rutherford, Halllgan, Chamberlain, Howard, Norris, Corey, not one but gained handsomely and consistently. Time and again they tore down the field, leaving a jumble of "Blue Devils" in their wake, only to lose the ball on a fumble when in sight of their goal. Practically the only time the ichabods succeeded in getting an ex plorer into Nebraska territory was when Beales, their ruddy little left halfback, got away for his spectacular fifty-yard run around left end for a touchdown. Nebraska was penalized four, times for a total of forty yards; Washburn was set back once for five yards. Ne braska was especially unfortunate in fumbling the ball at critical times. Of her eight muffs, Nebraska recovered only one, while Washburn recovered two or her four fumbles. In return ing punts, Howard had considerable edge on his rival, carrying the ball back eighty-seven yards In eight trials, while Ream, for Washburn, returned the ball for a total of only ten yards in his three chances. Chamberlain was Nebraska's star (Continued on page 3) FARMER ENGINEERS HOLD FIRST MEETING Dean Stput Speaks on Drainage Pro ject All Engineers Urged, to Attend These Meetings.
