TWO LECTURES OH
MODERN CHEMISTRY
Chancellor Avery and Professor Dales
Were the Speakers of the
Evening.
The Chemistry Club of the univer
sity met Wednesday evening in the
Chemistry Hall. There were two lec
tures of especial interest. One of
these was delivered by Chancellor
Avery and the other by Doctor Dales.
The Chancellor spoke of. his early ex
periences as a chemist, telling espe
cially of his work in Germany during
his early education, He also discussed
the European war in .regard to the
effect it will have on the manufacture
of chemicals; now being, a good
chance for the United States to begin
making her own chemicals instead of
expecting Germany to furnish the bulk
of them as he has in the past. There
will be a good chance for the Amer
lean chemist to add to both his own
and the couutry's resources by formu
lating a plan wherby somia of these
chemicals can be made here. The
Chancellor also expressed the desire
that none of the students leave school,
and attempt to discover fame through
this means.
Doctor Dales in a lecture discussed
a new theory of valence, called "Wern
er's Theory of Valence." In this lec
ture the doctor showed how many of
the compounds of chlorine especially
with cobalt could not be explained by
the usual iron clad theory cf valence.
The question ws discussed from
every side. v
To Whom It May Concern.
All those disturbed by the gentle
man in the Y. M. C. A. who sings like
a siren in a cemetery and winds up
with a noise like bricks falling into a
cistern, kindly send thirteen rupes to
the Bored of Health to help pay for
immediate interment Daily Illini.
TENNIS MEN GET
BUSY WITH MATCHES
Weather Man Smiles on Tennis Play
ers Efforts Play Will Start
Immediately.
After a week's delay in getting the
tennis tournament startled on account
of the Inclement weather, those en
tered declare that they intend to get
right back into the best of condition
and make a bid for the prize-. It has
been impossible for anyone to keep
In practice during the past ten days
and this fact has encouraged many to
try harder for the "N" because they
realize that a good man in poor condi
tion Is but little better than a poor
player.
The drawings are posted on the
"silo" and those entered should ar
range their matches at once and mark
their, scores after their names. The
end of the1 week should find many of
the scheduled matches played off.

OFF TO ll
FINAL SCRIMMAGE ON "HOW TO
SCORE."
POTTER DROPS ONE OVER
Team In Fine Shape to Trim Kansas
Aggies Leave on Evening Train
For Southern Battle
grolnd. By H. I. Kyle.
That the Kansas Aggies will be mel
with the open style of play, was indi
cated last night when the regulars
were chased through a long signal
practice, in which long forward passes
was the feature. The bulk of the pass
ing was done by Howard, "who fell
back on a punt formation and shot
the oval thirty or forty yards to
Rutherford, Halligan or Chamberlain.
After the signal practice a short scrim
mage was ordered. The varsity team
was given the ball and was then asked
to carry it through the army of
twenty-five scrubs that lined up to
opposie it. A woozy spectacle, that
would have delighted lovers of slap
stick vaudeville, then unfolded itself
and smeared up the gridiron consider
ably. Potter .ended the misery by
placing a cunning little drop-kick over
the cross-bar, from the thirty yard
line.
Apparently Coach Stiehm feels that
the team's defense is strong enough
to hold the Aggies, for the entire after
noon was devoted to teaching the men
h6w to score. A good big count for
the Cornhuskers in tomorrow's game
would, it is thought, fill the players
with the confidence andxspirit which
they appear to have lacked in the past
encounters.
The team leaves for Manhattan this
evening, and right here we want to
assure you that it will be perfectly
proper for you, regardless of what
your class, sex, or condition may be,
to accompany them to the depot, and
to yell your head off till the train
pulls out. Leave your doubts at home
with father and the cat.
THE FRESHMEN LAWS
BREAK OLD TRADITION
All Present at Tort Class Yesterday
First Time in Twenty-five Years
Says Professor Wilson.
The Freshmen Laws bid fair to ruin
the reputation of the law school that
students in former years have striven
so manfully to maintain. It would
s'eem that these verdant youth have In
some way conceived the absurd idea
that it is necessary to write up all
the case and also attend class. A sen
ior law was yesterday morning ex
hibiting to his friends a curio which
he had picked up in the locker room
and which was causing much merri
ment among the dignified seniors.
Upon inquiry the reporter was told
that the curio was a freshman's note
book in Criminal Law and that it
actually contained every case written
up. Thursday morning, after Profes
sor Wilson had called the roll in Tort
class he announced that for the first
time In twenty-five j;ears every mem
ber of his clas was present. These
things are hard to believe but they
are facts.
