CURIJ1IUSKER STAFF
MANY APPOINTMENTS MADE AND
WORK ALREADY BEGUN.
HUSKER" OUT BY MAY FIRST
Editorial Staff Complete Annual to
Have Many New Features and
Will be the Best '
Ever.
With the announcement of the fol
lowing students as members of the
editorial staff, Editor Samuelson has
begun active work on the 1915 "Corn
husker." As of yore, his one assertion
is that the publication is to be out the
first day of May. In order to accom
plish this end all material must be sub
mitted by the 25th day of March.
While the appointments have been
quite numerous, only those who show
an active interest in the work will re
main on the staff at the final wind-up.
The publication board has decided
this year to place the staff, business
manager and editor on a purely per
centage basis. Consequently there Is
as much inducement to each member
of the staff, from a financial stand
point, to put out a good book as there
is to the business manager.
The "Cornhusker" this year, will not
only be a representation of the two
upper classes but of the entire Univer
sity student body. The features of the
book are numerous and no little time
and expense will be spared according
to Business Manager Poteet to produce
an annual that will show the decided
advancement along literary lines which
the student body has made.
Work has already begun and a gen
eral get - together - and-get-acquainted
meeting will be held in the near future.
Office hours will be published at once
and anyone desiring to offer his assist
ance will be shown due consideration.

the entire student body in his efforts

JUNIORS AND SENIORS
WHI CLASH TOMORROW
Juniors Are Lighter But Very Aggres
sive Game Called For 3:30
O'Clock.
The annual Senior-Junior football
game will be staged at 3:30 tomorrow
afternoon on the Nebraska field. Only
about fifteen Juniors have been con
sistently reporting for practice, bu;
these men have the interest of the
class at heart, have trained hard,
and It is likely that they will spring a
surprise or two on their heavier op
ponents in tomorrow's game.
The Junior line averages about one
hundred and fifty pounds per man, the
Senior line is much heavier. In 6pite
of this handicap the Juniors are confi
dent that they will be able to cope
successfully with their more bulky
opponents and are strong in their
statement thajthey have an even
break for victory. The Junior ends
and backfield are fast and aggressive
and it Is expected that they will use
the open style of ply for their best
gains.
It has been rumored about the cam
pus that the Seniors intend to play a
former Cornhusker, namely, Clint
Ross, in their line-up against the Jun
iors. The postion the Juniors take is,
that since the members of the Fresh
man squad are to be barred, Ross
should be barred also.
Members of the varsity squad or
Sophomores will be secured to act as
officials of the game.

HUSKERS ARE VICTORIOUS IN
FINAL GAME,
HAWKEYES LOSE HARD GAME
Capt. Halligan Scores Ten of Ne
braska's Points Making Three
Place-Kicks and Kicking
Goal.
By H. I. Kyle.
The greatest football team that ever
donned the Scarlet and Cream, and
one of the best that ever carried the
pigskin for any school, closed a season
that will shine in the annals of foot
ball history for years to come by de
feating the powerful Iowa machine on
her own field 16 to 7. It was the same
old story; a great team once more
went down to defeat before an eleven
that has proved itself well-nigh in
vincible. The score appears to be a
fair indication of the relative strength
of the two aggregations. At covering
the ground each side seemed to meet
with about the same success but the
toe of the mighty Halligan added a
weapon to Nebraska's scoring machine
that kicked the props from beneath
the Hawkeyes' hopes and shattered
their chances to win by the touchdown
route. Of the Cornhuskers' sixteen
points, ten must be credited to the
skill of the great All-American's boot.
Four times during the game he
dropped back for a place kick and
three times the tiny brown dirigible
sailed squarely between the goal posts
and filled the camp of the enemy with
consternation and dismay. Mr. Halli
gan has ben called the "Brlckley of
the West" but we personally fail to
see where Brlckley has earned the
compliment Throughout the season
Halligan's kicking has been an im
portant feature of the Cornhusker of
fense but in no game did his prowess
in the aerial attack shine with the
refulgent splendor that it displayed in
the Iowa battle.
As in the other games of the season,
however, it is impossible to attribute
the result to the work of any particu
lar man or men. The only compli
ment high enough to do justice to the
team is to say that every man played
his usual game. At every phase of the
melee the western Trojans showed
themselves consummate masters, and,
incidentally, in no game of the season
was there greater need of it. The

FEEDING EXPERIMENT

For the first time In several years,
the Nebraska Experiment Station Is
conducting an experiment with sheep
A consignment of 250 western lambs
has been received and divided Into five
lots of 50 each. The experiment will
last 100 days and will be for the pur
pose of comparing a ration of alfalfa
hay with one of corn silage and also
a medium with a heavy feed of com

silage.
lAt the North Platte station a similar -experiment
has been started with 30C
