There i no football story today.
Enthusiastic, fans ;who have been fol
lowing the accounts "of practice writ
ten up in these columns from day to
,jay" are asked to bear with our re
porter for failure to procure anything
new on this subject
There Is something new to tell, but
the reporter was strictly unable to
find out what It Is. The "Stiehm
pressure brought to bear upon the
Cornhusker "Stiebm" engine has now
mounted to 175 pounds and something
is bound to explode soon.
The reporter hung around the gates
of the athletic field ill yesterday after
noon In the attempt, to pick up some
thing which" Vould surprise the Ne
braska publi but'ttie gates were clos
ed and guarded by a stern faced youth
and the reporter sodn grew tired of
matching operations through at knot
hole in the' fence,'
Public opinion bas it that the wily
Jumbo is "learning his pupils a new
trick." He Is keeping it secret and
evidently intends to spring it "on the
audience Saturday afternoon for the
purpose cf relieving the tension and
gaining ten yards. The coach has tak
en account of an aeroplane which b.as
been circling overhead this week and
which some believe Is flying the Notre
Dame colors, but although it Is un
doubtedly a war aeroplane, authorities
agree that it is calling too high to be
able to detect the joke that the Husk
ers are going to pull.
It is evident that Mr. Stiebm wants
to shew the Hoosiers as good a time as
- possible when they come so we will
not try to find cut his secret, but give
his warriors a clear field Saturday in
which to work it out successfully.

Charge of Affair
A wealth of material for the com
ing Oympics.was in evidence at the
Freshman and Sophomore try-outs held
last nlcht in the Armory under the
j auspices of the Innocents. Cider and
doughnuts were an appropriate con
clusion to the festivities of the eve
ning. The Freshman class showed an
abundance of material. There were
contestants for every evenL The
Sophomore class was not so well rep
resented as many W thetr best men
are playing football, and will not be

ARTICLE TO JEJRANSIATED
Permission Asked to Publish Article
In a French Magazine Appeared
in Midwest Quarterly
M. Rene Kerallain, a French man
or letters, has asked permission from
the Mid-West Quarterly to translate
the article by Mr. Charles Kuhlman
on "Pacificism and the French Revo
lution' for the Revue General d"
Droit. He writes: "Let me say in
passing that your Mid-West Quarter
ly is very interesting to me. Only I
am surprised at the place that France
occupies in this number. To say that
in the Far West people concern them
selves with Thecphile Gautier, the
Jacobin club, as though they lived at
the time of Madame de Stael, when
they have to do daily with the Mis
souri and the Mississippi, this seems
to me almost unreal.'
