Air. Stlehm and his warriors will
depart for Ames on the 4.30 train this
afternoon. They will be accompanlel
to the train by all Nebraskans who
live In the vicinity of Lincoln and care
enough about giving the Huskers a
good send oft to accompany them thus
far. After they have mounted the
train fhey will be accompanied by all
who boast a large Income and don't
have to work for a living. The train
on which the Huskers will leave will
follow a course mapped out by the
Rock Island railroad track until it
reaches Omaha which will occur some
time near 6 o'clock. From Omaha
the Huskers will resume their journey
and their card games, taking the
direction toward Des Moines. They
will arrive at the capital city at 10.20
p. m.. where they will take " dinner
(or supper, we like to reach all classes
of our readers); after which they will
journey to Ames on the Northwestern
Saturday afternoon the Husker3 will
attempt to subjugate the Ames foot
ball players and please the audience
collected, and when this Is done to
their satisfaction they will mount the
first train homeward for Lincoln. Ne
braska rooters will accompany the
players the full distance, the only dif
ference between the two being that the
rooters will incur no risk of bioken
bones during the game while tbe flay
ers will incur no risk of broken finance.
The 'Huskers will not be able to
put their best game up against the
Iowa farmers on account of the delapl
dated condition in which the Catholics
left them.
Captain Dick Rutherford may not
be able to enter the game at all. but
if the necessity requires, and it is pos
sible to give him a working out lie
will probably give the farmers a
chance to fall down In front of him.
Otoupallk. star fullback for the
Huskers. has several sore spots that
are slow to heal and he will not be
able to play his best game against the
agriculturists.

ADDRESSE8 COMMERCIAL CLUB
Mr. E. E. 8mlth of the Firm of 8peler
& Simon Discusses Adver
tising "The Psychology tof Advertising,"
was the subject of the address which
E. E, Smith, president of the Lincoln
Ad Club and advertising manager of
Speler & Simon Clothing Co., gave to
the University Commercial Club at
their regular meeting yesterday after
noon. Mr. Smith emphasized the necessity
of a critical study of human nature
for successful advertising. He pointed
out the various methods of appeal to
prospective customers through
senses, will, habit and intuition. Among
the things an "ad" writer must keep
In mind are form, as to proportion,
spacing and size, distinctiveness, indi
viduality, and above all the powr of
suggestion.
Mr. Smith's talk was well appreci
ated by the club.
MUSIC FOR CONVOCATION
Two Year Plan is. Outlined by Mrs.
Raymond Few Schools Have
Better Public Music
The Music Committee has adopted
at Mrs. Raymond's suggestion plans
for musical convocations for the next
two years which will give Nebraska
students unexampled opportunities for
training in musical appreciation. It
is very much to be doubted if any
school in tho country has a better
program of public music, and certainly
few have its equal. Nebraska students
who do not avail themselves of It
will be neglecting one of the finest
opportunities of their school life, but
judging from the past there , will be
few vacant seats at the musical con
vocations
The program as outlined calls for
two parallel series of programs. One
of these will cover Instrumental music
of the highest type known In musical
evolution the symphonic music of the
orchestra. This series was opened
last year with) the (performance of
seven of the nine symphonies of Bee
thoven, Mrs. Raymond at the pipe
organ supplementing the string quar
tet in a' manner to give a truly won
derful impression of the orchestra.
The remaining symphonies of Beetho
ven are to be given this year, in
addition to the symphonies, overtures
of the famous operas are to be given.
Already one such program has been
given this fall namely, the overtures
to Von Weber. "Der Freischuetz,"
Mozart. "Marriage of Figaro," and
Beethoven, "Egmont." As planned
these are to be followed by Beetho
ven's Eighth Symphony; Mendelssohn,
Overtures ' to "Fingal's Cave" and
'Midsummer Night"; Schumann, Over
ure to 'Manfred," and Schubert, to
Rosamunde": Liszt, "Les Preludes"
a symphonic poem, and Dvorak, Over
ture to "Carnivali"; Wagner, tne
fori Fir Music from "Die Wal-
kuere," Liebestod from "Tristan und
Isolde." Waldweben from "Siegfried,"
and overture, from either "Tannhaeu-
ser" or "Lohengruen"; finally, Tschal-
kowsky. "Slav March," Overture to
1812 " "Elegle," and the famous 6tn
Symphony, the "Pathetlque." The mere

PROTEST TRACK VIGOROUSLY
Proposed Univefsity Switch Track Is
Meeting with a Great Many
Objections
Charles Hammond has filed a com
munication with the city clerk in
which he protested vigorously to May
or Bryan and the city Commissioners
against the granting of a permit to
place a switch track across Tenth
street in front of the viaduct Mr.
Hammond thinks that another means
may be secured of getting a track
Into the University campus.
Mr. Hammond said:
"I have seen a good deal of discus
sion in newspapers about the North
western and Missouri Pacific railyway
crossing Tenth street with a track
into the University grounds, and your
honorabel body directed to fully in
vestigate the trackage proposition be
fore acting. I, as a taxpayer and citi
zen of Lincoln, for more than thirty
years, am opposed to granting any
such privilege of or to the railroads.
They with other lines of railroads
virtually closed Ninth and Tenth
streets by constant use of trains run
ning over same. These streets were
the only ones for farmers to get to
Lincoln from the northwest and it
was dangerous to life and teams of
farmers to get over grade crossings,
as but little attention was given to
the safety of those desiring to cross
the tracks, as the cars were always
in motion or expected to move with
out notice.
"John E. Miller, ttie merchant
prince, is quoted as saying that Tenth
street was only for railroad purposes.
He forgets his comparative humble
start was made on Tenth street, and
we not all. think that It is a good
business street yet. If a switch track
is needed from the Northwestern and
the Missouri Pacific it can be run
south from their main line freight
tracks south between Tenth and
where Eleventh would run through or
Twelfth street to east of Eeleventh,
only having to cross Vine street which
would answer the needs of the Univer
sity grounds trackage and do no In
jury to the people desiring the use of
the viaduct and Tenth street for
travel."
NEBRASKA WILL
DEBATE KANSAS
DUAL LEAGUE FORMED WITH
JAYHAWKERS
AN INCREASE IN ARMAMENT
Announcement by Professor Fogg
Candidates Called Out for Dec. 10
Battles Teams in "University
Week" Program
Nebraska's intercollegiate debaters
wilV this year battle with representa
tives of the University of Kansas in
two simultaneous contests, at Lincoln
and at Lawrence, on Friday evening,
December 10, on what the half dozen
Nebraska professors on the Univer
sity Debating Board are said to re
gard as the most important question
Just now before the country the
question of immediately and substan
tially increasing its armament, mili
tary and naval.
Formal announcement of the con
clusion of arrangements for a dual
league with Kansas was made last
evening by Professor M. M. Fogg, pro
fessor of rhetoric, the secretary of
the Debating Board, in a notice on the
Intercollegiate Debate bulletin-board
on the first floor of University Hall.
The professors on the Board are:
Professor H. W. Caldwell, American
History; Professor F. M. Fling, Euro
pean History; Prcfcsaor M. M. Fogg.
Rhetoric; Professor G. E. Howard,
Political Science and Sociology; Dean
W. G. Hastings. Law; Professor J. E.
LeRossignol, Economics and Com
merce; and Professor H. K. Wolfe,
Philosophy.
All students who are candidates for
membership in the Argumentation and
Debate Seminary and for the eight
places on the two teams are re
quested by Professor Fogg to com
municate with him at once.
The work of preparing for these
debates only six weeks off which
begins Immediately, will not Involve
such intensive study and training as
was the case in the 1907-1913 debates
in the now disbanded Central Debat
ing League. The short time would
not permit that, and furthermore for
these contests Nebraska and Kansas
have arranged to -decrease faculty
training, before the debates, and to
make it more informal.
