GHOST OF DRAKE DRIVES
VARSITY IN SCRIMMAGE
COACH GIVES MEN STRONG TALK
STRAIGHT FROM 8HOULDER
Kansas Aggies Loom Up Aa a Team
That Must Be Defeated v
Without Fail
With the ghost of Drake driving
them from behind and the fear ot the
Kansas Aggies ever present, the var
sity buckled down to real work last
evening.
A spirit of earnestness and genuine
sincerity prevailed following the
coach's opening address. He said in
part: ' "Even if we manage to defeat
Drake by one or two touchdowns, it
means a development of over one
thousand percent before we can hope
to do anything with the Aggies. But
at present we will dismiss them from
our minds and go after Drake," and
with that a strenuous signal practice
-was Inaugurated for the varsity. '
Several new open formations were
tried out while the well known ones
were worked over again. It could be
plainly seen that the coach is begin
ning to tighten up on his demands of
the quality of the work shown by the
men. The commands were sharper,
the signals were snappier and the rep
rimands more frequent than they have
been any night so far.
Open Tackling
The signal practice was followed by
open tackling, a very much needed
practice according to the coach, who
said, The Aggies have a man down
there that some of you fellows won't
STUDENTS FORM
HUGHES CLUB
200 ATTEND FIRST MEETING OF
ORGANIZATION IN TEMPLE
Carl Ganz Elected President Charles
E. Matson Assails Democratic
Record
A Hughes and Fairbanks club of
University students who favor the
election of the republican national
ticket was organized at the Temple
theater last night, about 200 attending
the organization meeting. A great
deal of enthusiasm for the g. o. p.
was manifested during the evening,
and the address of Charles E. Matson,
president of the Nebraska Alliance of
the National Republican league was
well received.
Mr. Matson talked for about forty
five minutes, directing his verbal
broadsides against both the domestic
nd foreign policies of the democrats
and President Wilson. He assailed the
Mexican policy as weak and vacillat
ing, the record ot the democratic party
on preparedness as bad, and its policy
in regard to appointments and appro
priations as a violation of party
pledges.
Officers Elected
Officers for the club were elected,
Carl Gani being named president Eva
Miller was elected vice-president of
the club, John Riddell secretary, and
Fred Wells treasurer.
The following committees were ap
pointed: i
Resolutions W. B. Jeffrey, chair
man; Roy J. Harney. Spray L. Gard
ner, J. L. Caley.
Executive John Riddell, chairman;
Marion Shaw, Prof. C. B. Cornell, Carl
Ganz, M. L. Poteet
Publicity Fred Wells. Eva Miller,

be able to lay a hand on, lot alone
grab a shoestring, the way you are
tackling now." So it was a thud and
a bump, a side step here and a stiff
arm there until the sun had sunk to
the horizon.
The cripples will be spared as much
as possible this week until they can
get in and go at top speed with the
rest of the team. Meanwhile as much
speed will be gotten into the mixed
lineup as possible.
Lots of Bear Dope
The coaches came back with all
sorts of "bear" dope on the Drake
and Kansas Aggies teams. Rutherford
says that Drake has a fine team. They
have Sprong at center, all-Missouri
valley guard lust year, and in addition
they have two tried and proved veter
ans in Warnock and Captain Smith.
They have a strong line and fast back
field with a nice assortment of plays.
Captain Tim and Coach Stewart
came back from Manhattan quaking
with fear. They are haunted by the
spectre of the first defeat the Aggies
have ever inflicted on Nebraska. The
Aggies have a team that is practically
ideal. The backfleld is excellent and
the center of the line is as impregna
ble as a stonewall.
But it Is on the ends that they have
the stars. Those who saw the K. A. C.
game last year will remember the
class displayed by the Aggie ends, but
they are not to be compared with this
year's wing men, according to Coray.
From their reports it is very evident
that a real battle will take place when
the boys from Manhattan visit Ne
braska field one week from Saturday.

ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT
! ISSUES DIRECTORY
OF 800 GRADUATES
The engineering department has Is
sued The Nebraska Blue Print direc
tory, containing the names of over 800
graduates and those who have gone
into engineering lines.
The book is an effort to keep the
, graduates in closer touch with each
j other, as well as with the University,
' and to sustain interest in the broader
lines of engineering.
An interesting article written by an
engineer of Chicago on "The Lighting
of a Public School Building," takes
Lincoln high school as an example and
minutely describes the system used
there. This and several other subjects
are discussed in the first Blue Print
Directory.

ENGLI8H LITERATURE
DEPARTMENT ISSUE8
BOOKLET ON SILAS MARNER
The department of English literature
in the Teachers' college, under the di
rection of Prof. Frederick A. Stuff and
Instructor Letta Clark, has issued de
tailed directions for teachers in the
presentation of Silas Marner. These
outlines offer a scientific framework
for each lesson after the general plan
in vogue in the Teachers' college
training school.
The plan embodies the most recent
views on supervised study and the
unique Idea of socialization of the
rather general use in the English
classes over the state, and will un
doubtedly revolutionize much of the
worit in the teaching of English in our
high tchools.

AS BUSINESS MGR.
Daily Nebraskan Staff Loses Head of
Important Department
Marcus L. Poteet, business manager
of The Daily Nebraskan last semester,
and part of this, has resigned. An op
portunity to do other work while at
tending the University, that would
give much more return for the time
Invested, was the cause of Poteet's
resignation, which will take effect as
soon as a successor is appointed by
the publication board.
Poteet is one of the ablest advertis
ing men in the University, and his
resignation is a serious loss to The
Nebraskan, which is supported, as any
newspaper, by the advertising. The
enlargements and improvements in
The Nebraskan during the past and
present semester have been due in
very large part to his ability and his
co-operation with the editorial staff.
Sherover's letter was a reply to the
invitation sent to the socialist candl-
date'by the University students, and
forwarded by Chancellor Avery.
Routine arrangements for Mr. Ben
son's BDeeches. already made, will pre
vent the candidate from speaking, ac
cording the letter, he candidate does
not now intend to include Lincoln in
his itinery.

BEETHOVEN'8 FIR8T
SYMPHONY AT
CONVOCATION THURSDAY
Beethoven's First Symphony will be
given at convocation Thursday morn
ing under the direction of Mrs. Carrie
B. Raymond, . with the University
string quartet. Works of the first or
der have been presented at convoca
tions for several years, and have been
very well attended.
The First Symphony is particularly
attractive as showing what the great
composer could do in his earlier years.
The discriminating listener can read
ily detect Mozartlan influence, and In
addition some hint of the independent
and original Beethoven developed in
later years. It is interesting to note
in this connection that, despite the ag
gressive character of modern music,
there appears to be a reawakened in
terest in musical centers in the music
of composers who a few years ago
were thought destined for the discard.

A faculty committee will count the
votes, and the results should be known
to the candidates and their partisans
by 0:30 this afternoon.
The newly elected class presidents
will probably call meetings within the
next two weeks for the election of the
minor officers. Committee appoint
ments should be out within two weeks.
Hop committees for all classes, prom
committees for the junior and senior
classes, Olympics committees for the
freshman and sophomore classes are
among the most Important to be
named.
Promised Offices?
One of the candidates for the junior
presidency is said to have been lib
eral with promises of committee ap
pointments in return for votes. The
other is Bald to have been wary of this,
and to be keeping mum as to the po
sitions to be handed out. The junior
race has presented a few queer align
ments. Supporters of each of the can
didates professed confidence in the
outcome, yesterday.
Class lists of the Juniors were se
cured yesterday, and there was a deal
of telephoning going on last night in
a filial effort to line up the vote on
one Bide or the other. Activity In the
freshman class seemed at a low ebb,
and the result of the election there Is
very much up in the air.

winter studying music.
