SPIRITED SCRIMMAGE,
SCUBS vs. VARSITY
BOTH TEAMS PLAYED AS IF IT
WAS A MATCH GAME
Varsity Line Impregnable, But Scrubs
Were1 Able to Advance By
Air Route
"Hold 'em line. Get la 'ere boys.
Now what ya gonna do?" It. was
Moser talking and the occasion was
last evening's practice on Nebraska
Held. The scrubs were lined up
against he varsity in one of the most
spirited! and best played scrimmages
of the year. Both teams played ex
cellent ball some of the time, and
6ome of each team played good ball
all the time.
The practice began, as usual, with
punting practice, with the quarter
backs doing the receiving, which was
the really hard Job because of the high
wind. After a short while at this
work and a whirl at signal practice,
the real work began.
Whether It was because of the rath
er cool wind or for some other unseen
reason, both teams played as if it was
a match game.
Scrimmage Started
The scrimmage started with the
scrubs on their own 40-yard mark and
the ball in their possession. Then
started a series of line plunges which
were in no wise successful, for
CHANCELLOR INVITES
CANDIDATES TO SPEAK
FOUR PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEES
URGED TO ADDRESS STUDENTS
Invitations Sent on Request of Mass
Meeting of Students Planned by
Howard's Class
Four presidential candidates, Wood
row Wilson of the democratic party,
Charles E. Hughes of the republican
party, Governor Hanley of the prohi
bition party, and Allan L. Benson of
the socialist party, have been invited
to speak to Nebraska University stu
dents. -
Chancellor Avery ye'sterday sent a
day letter to the national committee
of each of the four parties, extending
the invitation, at the request of the
masB meeting of students held at the
emple theater Wednesday night. The
mass meeting was called by Prof.
George Howard's class in present po
licilal questions.
To each invitation the chancellor
added bis personal Invitation to speak.
' The Invitations
The four invitations, much alike, are
quoted below.
"National Democratic Central Com
mittee, Chicago, 111.: The students of
the University in mass meeting as
sembled, have requested me to extend
to President Wilson an Invitation to
address them in connection with his
prospective visit to Omaha on October
EXTENSION SERVICE

The number of short courses in ag
riculture and home economics to be
given this year by the extension serv
ice of the college of agriculture Is to
be double the number of last year.
Last winter the service conducted
(Continued to Pere Three)
Rhoades, Moser, Corey, Wilder, Dale
and Kositzky proved to be a regular
stonewall and one that was absolutely
impenetrable. But the scrubs were
not to be stopped so easily. They
soon opened up ahd started to ad
vancing by the air route. The passes
were to either end or 'halfback or
tackle, but, whoever they were to,
they were successful.
Forward Passing
Only once in the march down the
field was one of them fumbled and
that was a poor pass. But consider
ing that there were ten or a dozen
successful ones, that is a very fine
! percentage. But the passing game
was the only one the scrubs could
work successfully until they got to
the varsity's goal line. Then in one
last desperate attempt they adopted
Notre Dame's old crossbuck and
scored. ,
The scrubs were then given the ball
on the varsity's 10-yard line and told
to put It over, at which they failed
miserably, for the varsity line broke
through repeatedly ani threw them
for losses of from five to ten yards.
Much interest has been awakened
the last two nights in the appearance
of .Riddell and Otoupallk. Their ad
dition to the backfleld means two com
plete sets of phenomenal backfleld
men. It is probable that the coach
will use them as backfleld men offen
sively and as ends on the defense.

request and to add to it my personal
Invitation. S. Avery, chancellor."

dents when be comes to the state
next week, according to telegrams sent
to Ted Metcalfe, who was instructed
by (he newly organized Woodrow Wil
son club Wednesday night to wire the

Feature Reception Committee
Named
Final plans for the first 1916-17
mixer were made at a meeting of the
committee yesterday noon. While the
members of the committee have mod
estly refrained from actually saying
so, they have let it be bruited about
that the all-University party is going
to start the year right so right that
future mixers will have to hump to
equal this coming one of Saturday
night.
One feature that will doubtless
prove most interesting to all of the
students is the fact that the candi
dates for class presidency will be at
the mixer, getting around among their
constituents, and building their polit
ical fences.
Opportune for Candidates
The party comes at a most opportune
time for the aspirants to class prefer
ence. Election day is but three days
after the mixer, and the keen political
bosses realize that a man who can
prove to be a god man where all of the
students are gathered together, is apt
to be the man who will get the votes
at the polls Tuesday.
The mixer committee will give the
candidates some opportunity to com
pete with each other to see how well
they can blow, or some similar stunt.
People will begin to get to the party
at 8 o'clock. The University band will
