SECRET PRACTICE
THIS WEEK
f
HOOSIERS CAN TAKE HUSKERS
MEASURE BELIEVED
YESTERDAYS PRACTICE SLOW
Huskers Lack Punch Speed May be
Mainstay Agalntt Notre Dame
Ragged Playing Prominent
in Yesterday Practice
"Jumbo" Stiehm wore a wrinkle in
his forehead yesterday afternoon
which no amount of work on the part
of the Huskers could smoothen out.
That's why he is going to have
secret practice all this week.
That wrinkle stood for a great big
doubt in the tall Teuton's mind as to
whether the Husker machine would be
able to handle the Catholics next Sat
urday afternoon.
In yesterday's practice which was
given over to signal drill the Hunkers
showed very conclusively that they
lacked the punch and smoothness
which mid-season playing must have
in order to buck up agaist such a
proposition as the Huskers have to
face next Saturday.
The playing was slow and ragged,
a great deal of muffing and Incomplete
forward passing was going on and
even the regular plays were badly
mixed at times.
Against a team like the Notre Dame
boys who average from six to ten
pounds more than the Huskers the
straight line plunging may prove of
small avail. If the heavy Catholic line
holds, the Huskers will have to make
up In speed what they lack in weight.
This necessary speed didn't show itself
in yesterday's practice and "Jumbo"
Stiehm is working like a Dutchman be
hind closed gates this week trying to
bring the Huskers into trirno lick the
easterners when they arrive.
The mighty guide may have some
thing up his sleeve which he is pre
paring to pull on the Hoosiers but if
he has, it will stay thcro until ho can
make practical use of it. Stiehm never
says much but from what can be
guessed by the look in bis eye, the
Notre Dame huskies are going to be a
pretty rough hill for the Nebraska
"Stiehm" roller to level down.
Lineman 8 haw Gone
On the eve of the first big football
battle of the year the Cornhuskers
find themselves without the services
of one of their trusted linemen, E. A.
Shaw, who has been playing riglrt
tackle, probably will not participate In
the remaining games of the Nebraska
schedule because of the death of bis
fatehr, who was killed in the Union
I'aclflc wreck of last Saturday.
Shaw Is a Sophomore and has been
Playing a brillian game, the coaches
having put him In as a regular while
Paul Shields was shifted to a guard.
The loss of Shaw probably means that
Shields will go back to tackle, leaving
it to four or five men to fight for the
open place. Kositzkv. Donnegan, Dalis
nd Dale are likely candidates for the4
Place. Balis Is an experienced man
and only lack of beef keeps him out
of the regular lineup. Dale is a man
of wonderful physique but lacks ex
perience. Xtonnegan Is another heavy
man without the training. Kosltzky
1 not exceptionally heavy but should
Put up a good fight for the Job.

ARTICLE IN DEMAND
Request Received From the University
of Cairo Dr. England of School
of Commerce the Author
The Quarterly Journal of Economics
issued last August contained an article
entitled "Promotion as the Cause of
Crisis," by Dr. Minnie Throop England
of the School of Commerce. A sum
mary of the article appeared in
Moody's Magazine for October, and re
quests for copies have recently been
made by several foreign universities
Including the University of Cairo,
Egypt. Dr. England has written a
number of papers on this subject and
is a recognized authority.
SOME EUROPEAN WAR NEWS
Full Development of Great Balkan
Struggle May Result in Shorten
ing Conflict
New York. The blackest week
Great Britain has faced since the be-
ginninr. of the war is causing the circu
lation of rumors in Berlin that tenta
tive peace proposals are under con
federation. These reports are denied
in London, where a belief is expressed
In high financial circles that Germany
will soon be suing for peace because
of the danger of a monetary collapse.
Though it Is impossible to say what
basis there may be for renewed peace
talk, nevertheless the entrance of Bul
garia into the war and the opening of
the Teutons' Balkan campaign are un
questionably factors which may well
shorten the war. A profound and fun
damental change has been caused by
the Balkan developments In Great
Britain's relationship toward the war
and toward her allies. As long as the
neutrality of the Balkan states pre
vented a German advance into Turkey,
Great Britain's imperial possessions
were secure and the British govern
ment could adopt an unalterable atti
tude toward peace desires that might
arise In Paris, Perograd or Rome.
Not lnfreauently it has been assert
ed In England that even though the
other members of the quadruple en
tente withdrew from the conflict, Great
Britain would continue to fight alone
until th Teutonic powers. had sur
rendered unconditionally. While the
British fleet prevnted Germany from
rfintrhinz an overseas expedition to
strike at the British empire and while
the Balkans barrier blocked an over
land hlnw at Egypt, Jlesopoiamia.

The third of the "Know the Univer

in Art Hall, in the Library building,
where Dr. F. M. Fling will speak on
"Cultural Improvements."
Most of the students know the
library as a place of reference books
and study tables. Dr. Fling will make
them acquainted with the Fine Arts
Departments.
Seats go Quickly
The sale of seats for the Notre Dame
game Saturday has exceeded all expec
tations and all records of Nebraska.
The reserved seats put on sale yester
day were sold out before 5 o'clock but
another allotment went on sale this
morning. Evidently standing room
will be valuable. The, general admis
sion Is a student ticket or $1.50 which
admits to the west-end stands unless
the demand is too great. The more
desirable seats are fifty cents or a dol
lar extra. Those who were unable to
get their reserved seats ye3!.erday
should secure them early today.
Williams Vesper Speaker
Prof. T. F. A. Williams of the
Sociology Department will speak on
the social problems of Lincoln at the
y. W. C. A. Vesper service today.
Mrs. Williams has been connected for
several years with the school board
and with social work here.
aln might well consider herself able
to fight alone. Under these conditions
the British empire could continue the
war more economically by itself than
in company.
But. no longer is the British em
pire outside the area of possible Teu
mr.In aireression. If Great Britain
alone among the allies were left in
th war. thfl Austro-German8 couia con
centrate all their strength and drive
through the Balkans into Turkey.
Thereafter a vital blow mignt do
struck at the British empire by land.
vnr. M reason Great Britain hence
forth must rely on her allies far more
than previously. ; This fact will tend
to equalize the influence of each mem
ber of the quadruple entente when the
question of peace comes up for dis
inn Whenever France, Russia
and Italy want peace, it would be very
dangerous for the liritisn empire
hold out alone.

DELEGATES RETURN
C. T. Spier and E. S. Young Have
Been East to the Delta Upsilon
Convention
Clarence T. Spier, '16, and Earl S.
Young, '16, returned Monday from
New York where they attended the
eighty-first convention of the Delta
Upsilon fraternity, at Ithaca.
During their trip of two weeks they
stopped at Buffalo, Niagara, 'New York,
Philadelphia, and Washington. They
saw the last game of the world series
and also somo eastern football games
Cornell vs. Williams and Chicago vs.
Indiana. Indiana used the new "deaf
and dumb" signals. The boys are
confident that the Cornhuskers could
beat Chicago easily.
ENGRAVING ISJO RE LESS
Individual Pictures for the Corn
husker Reduced One-Third
Other Special Rates
Owing to an exceptionally favorable
contract with the engravers, the busi
ness management of the 1916 Corn-
husker has been able to reduce the
engraving charge on the Senior and
Junior individual pictures from the
$1.50 which It has formerly been, to
$1.00.
This is considerably more than is
saved on the engraving but the man
agement feels that the "total Corn
husker cost" to the upper classmen
particularly has been too high. Their
purpose therefore is to make reduc
tions' wherever possible.
This will make the entire, cost of one
dozen pictures, the engraving, and Its
insertion in the Annual, but $2.50,
which Is fifty cents less than the cost
of the dozen pictures alone would be
were it not for the special Cornhusker
rate which is obtained from Mr. Alva
Townsend, photographer.
Arrangement has also been made
with Mr. Townsend whereby any one
who has their sitting between now and
Thanksgiving will be guaranteed the
pictures in plenty of time for Christ
mas. Owing to the holiday rush and
the special rate which has been made
on this work, he is unable to guarantee
Christmas delivery for sittings taken
after Thanksgiving.
This same arrangement also holds
for the individual sorority pictures.
Thus, all Seniors, Juniors, and sorori
ties may go for their sitting within
the next few weeks, obtain this excep
tionally low rate, and hata them to
use for Christmas.
DIRECTORY TO BE
OUTTHURSDAY
ISSUED UNDER THE DIRECTION
OF Y. M. C. A.
CAN BE BOUGHT ON CAMPUS
The Work Is Bigger and Better Than
Before Contains Everything of
Interest to the Student
Price Twenty Cents
Students will find many of their
wants supplied and many of their ques
tions answered with the 1915-1916
issue of the University Directory,
which is to be on sale on the Campus
Thursday morning at 8:00 o'clock.
The University Directory has been
issued under the direction of the Y.
M. C. A. for the past several years. It
needs no introduction to the older
students, but to the new students a
word regarding its contents should be
of help. '
City and Farm Campus telephone
numbers are given. Fraternity and
sorority telephone numbers with ad
dresses are given. The names of the
officers of the different student organi
zations are given where possible. A
list of the faculty members are given.
The student body with address, 'phone
numbers, sorority or fraternity affilia
tion, are given. The work in this
respect was to some extent handi
capped by incomplete addresses and
the changing of addresses, but this
has been minimized so far as possi
ble. The directory also contains a
list of names of students registering
in the Temple High School. In addi
tion to the Information given in the
directory last year, a portion of the
book Is given over to the Dental Col
lege students. An attempt was also
made to group the students by towns,
as shown by their registration cards.
The editors were under the impres
sion that this might be of some assist
ance to the students. The sororities
and fraternities are given a represen
tation in tho book with a complete list
of members and pledges.
The editors are indebted to several
suggestions by different students which
if incorporated in the work would be
of great value, but these suggestions
were received too late to be used this
year. The suggestions will be kept on
file together with any new ones that
may come up, and it is quite possible
that if the sales of the book are up
to expectations next Thursday, that
more changes and improvements will
be made next year.
The price of the book this year will
be twenty cents, with a limited num
ber of leather copies at a higher price.
An increase over last year's price has
been necessary in order to meet ex
penses as a great deal more work has
been done this year than last.
Economic Seminar Met
The Economics Seminar met last
Friday at 5 o'clock with a large at
tendance when Prof. J. E. LeRossIgnol
