SPLENDID PROGRAM OFFERED BY
BAND AND GLEE CLUB.
APPEAL TO NEBRASKA SPIRIT
Failure of Last Night's Belgian Relief
Entertainment Brings Appeal to
Support Tonight's Program
Given in Chapel.
There are times when it is ex
pedient to conceal the bald truth, but
the present case needs to be faced
squarely. ,Lst night's entertainment
for the purpose of raisins funds to re
lieve the suffering of the women and
children of Belgium was attended by
a mere handful.
Whatever the cause or causes con
tributing to this failure. Nebraska
spirit is shown in a very poor light.
The excellence of -the program pre
sented certainly relieves the commit
tee in charge of all blame as to the
entertainment itself, and justifies the
expectation that tonight's crowd will
uiorc truly represent Nebraska's real
attitude.
The numbers rendered by the band
and Glee Club were of a quality to
justify the student body's pride in
these organizations, and the enthusi
astic reception of the piano solo
showed the audience's appreciation of
this number. As to the pictures
themselves, it is safe to say that two
thirds of the school have never had
the opportunity of viewing the scenes
that are shown. The work of the squad
on tackle dummy, falling on the ball,
and other phases of the work incident
to the building up of a championship
team, to say nothing of the views of
the two hardest fought games of the
season, are alone worth twice the ad
mission price.
Is Nebraska going to allow last
night's miserable showing to be the
final word? Twenty-live cents in
vested in a ticket votes NO. Pass up
the other movies for one week and
get behind tola effort. Those whose
time and talent have been willingly
given toward furnishing the enter
tainment the band, the glee clcb, and
others who are backing this deserve
a better response. Get that Christmas
spirit limbered up a little in advance
of December 25th and turn out in a
body to the show tonight. In the
Chapel, at 8:00 p. m. Admission
twenty-five cents. Tickets may be
obtained at the Nebraskan omce4
Alumni office, or at the door.

typical farmer and woe to the one
who comes fussed up. There will be
lively games for all, and the affair will
be topped off with a good feed. Let's
end Ag week with a celebration thai
will go down In the history of the

Agriculture Club Planning on Many
Interesting Features Committee

the custom in the past, there will be
an 'Ag" edition of the Nebraskan on
Thursday of Agriculture Week.' Satur

ation of the Agriculture Club will be
held and old members promise a lively
and strenuous initiation of new mem
bers.
YOUNG LEGISLATORS
MEETTKIS EVEKING
About Fifty University Students to
Acquaint Themselves With Legis
lative Methods.
Practical legislation, or political
economy 33 was first given during the
session of 1909. It was suggested by
Dr. Roscoe Pound, now of Harvard,
as a desirable course in connection
with the Law College, to better equip
young men who go out to take an
active part in public affairs either in
the legislature or in other positions.
The course has been popular from the
stan. Two years ago about seventy
were registered but 6ince then the re
quirements have been raised and the
present prospects are fc. a class of
ahnnt firtv The substance of the
course is two-fold : First to train stu
dents in scientific methods of legisla
tion which includes bill drafting, and
a study of comparative legislation,
which gives familiarity with the de
tails of the methods by which a bill
becomes a law aod criticism of the
procedure in the different states.
The second Dart consists In prac
tice work as assistants to the legisla
ture and covers research work in prac
tically every subject which is con
sidered by the legislature during the
session. Lectures are generally given
before the class by the chief clerk
and others connected with the legisla
ture. The first meeting of the class
will be in room 30C. University Hall
at 7:30 o'clock on Thursday evening,
December 3. ' '

Now in Process of
Preparation.
The girls of the University will
celebrate in honor of the closing of
the successful football season with
their annual Cornhusker party in the
Armory at 8 o'clock Friday night.
Ten cents admission will be charged.
Although it is not news, it is a fact
that all the girls in school will be
there, and in costume.
Miss Graham tells us that there
will be no formal program, since there
is to be no formality about the party.
There will, however, be a large num-

ber of stunts who will assert them
selves at different times in the even
ing. Just whom these will be can be
told better after the event is over
perhaps there will be some notable in
evidence. Last year efficient proxies

team apepared and a very exciting
football rally was held by the enthusi
astic co-eds, with real speeches and'
real yells. Perhaps they will be seen
again the committee does not prom
ise, but leaves us to conjecture.
The party is not a dancing party,
although that may be one feature of
the evening's entertainment. Light
refreshments will be served and a
good time is promised to everyone.

Game Not Characterized by Fast
Work or Lack of Fumbles
v Coach Stiehm Discovers
Many New Plays.
The Freshmen defeated the Sopho
mores in 'football yesterday afternoon
on Nebraska Held by the score of
20-6, thereby eliminating one more
team from the race for interclass foot
ball honors. The final game for the
championship will be played next
Wednesday afternoon when the Fresh
men will meet the Seniors, who pre
viously elimianted the Juniors, 14-0.
Both sides played brillian football
at times, and at times both were
ragged. The Freshmen held the edge
however, throughout the contest,
especially during the first two quar
ters. Both backfields were fast, but
lack of team work was manifest in
the play of both the lines.
The chilly air made fumbling fre
quent, but added lots of "pep" to the
already bloodthirsty rivals. Referee
Howard was successful in keeping
the two teams from a general mix-up.

i P,acing the bal1 after a down

j to just where the ball was down. As
a consequence the ball held no fixed

"raddled it. Coach Stiehm watched
' a good uortlon of the game from a
position on the north side of the field,
j Obviously his purpose was to learn
the latest kinks of football, but it is
j rumored that he was looking for ma
i terial.
I The Freshmen outrushed the Sopho
! mores at the beginning of the game
and scored two touchdowns in the
first half. Oesten made the first on
tackle around, after the ball had been
j advanced to within ten yards of the
goal. Colton made the second going
through center on a fake for twelve
yards. The FreFhmen kicked one
goal.
In the second half the Sophomores
staged what appeared to be a come
back, and toward the end of the third
quarter, advanced the ball by straight
football and a long forward pass to
within five yards of the Freshmen
goal, from where O'Brien went over
