RUTHERFORD GOES
TO COACH INDIANA
WILL ASSIST COACH STIEHM AT
THE EASTERN SCHOOL
ANNOUNCEMENT A SURPRISE
8om Criticism Falls on Mr. Stlehm
and He Issues a Statement at to
His Mind Reed to Have
Charge of Business End
Two Important developments in the
coaching situation put in their appear
ance yesterday, starting things going
again after the lull which followed the
storm accompanying Coach Stiehm's
imn m Indiana. It first became
j
known that the committee having un
der its consideration the successor
for Stlehm had reached a decision and
dorl n man for election.
uau iowiu
The same afternoon Coach Stiehm an
nounced that Dick Rutherford, captain
of the 1915 Huskers, had accepted the
job of assistant coach at Indiana.
The announcement that Rutherford
would go to Indiana came after the
committee had held its meeting, but
before its recommendations had been
announced. The committee also rec
ommended a change in the usual pol
icy, suggesting the election of a young
er man as assistant coach at a salary
of J2.000. and the retention of Guy
Reed as assistant director with com
plete charge of the business end of
the department, also at a salary of
$2,000. The proposed successor to
Coach Jumbo's shoes will get $3,000
a year, if he accepts. It is understood
that the hoard has already acted upon
these recommendations.
The man selected for athletic direc
tor is well known in eastern and west
ern football, and has had a wide ex
perience in coaching in both sections.
His teams havo been for the most
part successful. If he comes to Ne
braska he will have better material
to work with and his ability to turn
out elevens capable of holding up
the standard set by past Cornhusker
methods is assured.
The announcement by Coach Sliehm
that Captain Rutherford had accepted
the Job under him at Indiana brought
down a storm of criticism upon the
already heavy-burdened shoulders of
the present coach. The criticism for
the most part has been hit-and-miss,
lacking good foundation, in fact. Both
Stlehm and Rutherford declare that
'he coach broueht no influen
ce to bear i
pon the case, and that the captain
took this step of his own free will.
Statement from Jumbo
Coach Stiehm issued the following j
wement In answer to his critics:
"Rutherford was to have been my
Mslstant at Nebraska if I had stayed
"ere. He knew that a year ago and
those who worked with me this fall
"ew it. When I was considering go
OR to Indiana he told me he would
like to go with me.
"He was offered the position at In
diana over a month ago and had been
Potting off a definite answer. There
w" no pressure brought to bear what
Ter. 1 never tried to prejudice him
a"y word, way or manner against
Nebraska or a Job at Nebraska. He
to me of his own will and said
J "ted to close the deal. He

uururwi hiM - I a
'lent influence and I am proud
u"u m any way il mam
to think that he would liko to go
with me and vfork with me.
"I can't see that there ia any dis
credit in taking Rutherford with me
if he wants toj go. There is no prose
lyting in that. He will be a graduate
and Is a free man. I think he will
bear me out in saying that I never
tried to prejudice him against Nebras
ka. He asked me for advice and I put
it up- to him to do as he thought
best.
V
"There's a story out that I am go
ing to take some Nebraska boys with
me to Indiana. You can say for me
that no player now in the University
and no one there eligible for the team
will ever play under me at Indiana.
"The facts are I am for Nebraska.
I hated to break away after being
there longer than at any other school
In any capacity. I'll always look upon
my stay hare as most pleasant "
LEARN MILITARY EFFICIENCY
Cadets Have Classes in University
Hall to Study the Question
of Preparedness
Nearly 600 men being prepared for
a volunteer army is the sight a visitor
would see if he should walk into some
of the class rooms in U hall at 5
o'61ock. Seniors, Juniors, Sophomores j
and Freshman all trying to help out
Secretary of War Garrison in his fight
for preparedness.
Our own great Nebraskan might
hold up his hands in horror at the
way Lieutenant Samuel Parker and
the regimental officers are drUling into
Sophomore and Freshman cadets the
value of military efficiency.
Everything is discussed. Movements,
rifle practice, sighting and other reg
ulation are brought out and the Stu-
dents' heads are crammed full of facts
concerning the military policy of the
United States. When the foe invades
Omaha or a hostile gunboat steams up
the Platte, Nebraska will be prepared.

TAG DAY FOR RELIEF FUND
Nebraska Students Expected to Con
tribute to European Students
Serving In War
Today is Tag day for the European
Students' Relief Fund. How much is
the University of Nebraska going to
give to their brother students who
are in the warring countries?
The money the students give today
will go for the relief of those stu
dents who are either cut off from
home or are in active service in the
field. There are thousands of stu
dents in Paris and Swiss university
towns who are entirely cut off from
home.
If every student at Nebraska gives
25 cents, it will total enough to help
out a great number of these students
who are either "down and out" or out
in active service. Let everybody give
their mite and it is sure to be ap
preciated.
This campaign is being conducted
jby the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A.
There will be six people on the cam
I pus selling tags all day.

The University sent a couple of rep
resentatives in "Papa" Ford's peace
party to help get in the way of the war
engine in Europe and side-track the
rumpus. From all reports, the expedi
tion Into the heart of the war stricken
countries, as far as those countries arc
concerned, was a "failure.
The following report from Washing
ton, D. C however, leads many to
think that the Ford party had some
thing to do with arousing sentiment
in the United States against the pres-
ident's preparedness program:

Friday at 5 P. M.
Gradually the office of Student Ac
tivities is becoming to be the head
quarters for all Student Activities. T.
A. Williams has deemed it advisable
to locate the University Employment
Bureau, which no doubt is a very im
portant activity, in the basement of
the Administration building.
Recently positions have been some
what scarce and an effort is" being
made to let the people of Lincoln know
that a phone call to the University
Employment Bureau will bring to them
the employee desired.
As a rule there are plenty of stu
dents with free hours to fill positions
if notice is given in time to locate
them. In order to be able to locate
the students more easily the applica
tion blanks filled out by them will be
revised. In case you are a student
seeking employment be sure to have
your card checked up before the be
ginning of next semester. A chance
to do this checking up will be given
at a meeting to be held in the Stu
dents' Activity office, Friday at 6 p. m.
If you are seeking employment at odd
hours, be on hand at this time.

Wilson admirer, has been expected to
lead the administration's senate fight.
The wave of sentiment for a great
preparedness program, which a tew
weeks ago was sweeping the country,
has reached its crest some administra
tion leaders think. Today President
Wilson is receiving many discourag
ing reports. The opposition centers
upon Secretary Garrison's army plan.
The people "back home" don't like
it, many congressmen report.
An indication today that the Aus
trian crisis might reflect strength to
the administration program, came in
a telegram to the White House from
the democratic state central commit
tee of Mississippi, telling that Vene
able had been elected to congress aft
er making an out and out fight for
nronn rpdnBSS.
That material navy increases can be
obtained is not doubted. Administra
tion officials still are confident that
battleships and a large number of
auxiliaries will be authorized by con
gress. Preparedness hearings, which prom
a in last for months were begun by
the house naval committee today. To
