VARSITY BAGKFIELD
RIPS SCRUB DEFENSE
Henry, Schellenberg, Dobson and
Kellogg Tore Up the Freshman
Line in Yesterday's Practice
VARSITY SHOW STONEWALL
Tackling the freshmen for losses of
from ten to fifteen yards on practical
ly every down and running through
them almost at will on the offense,
the varsity showed signs of real life
at yesterday's practice, and threat
ened destruction for opponents In the
coming campaign. Henry, Schellen
berg. Dobson and Kellogg the varsity
backfield had everything their own
way when it came to advancing the
ball. On the defense the varsity line,
with Hubka and Rhode's, ends, doing
the heavy work, tackled the freshmen
for losses on practically every play.
A definite and valuable scoring
power has been gradually assuming
shape in the last few practices in the
educated toe of Paul Dobson. Schell
enberg and Kellogg appeared in
scrimmage yesterday for the first
time in more than a week. Both men
showed that they have not lost any of
their fight, and tore Into the freshmen
as if they were the Jayhawk crew.
Prepare for Wesleyan
Practices this week will be for the
'sole purpose of pointing the men for
the Wesleyan and Iowa games. No i
rhance will be taken with the Coy
otes, and the Huskers will go into
the game to put all they have Into it
at the start. No definite line-up for
the game Saturday can be gotten yet,
as several men have been working
in the various line positions and two
backfield have been In use most of
the time. A probable line-up would
be as follows:
At fullback is the one certainty of
the backfield, that Is Dobson, who be
cause of his all around ability is al
most indispensable. At the halves
will be Henry, Kellogg, Otoupalik and
Schellenberg. At quarter will be
Cook or McMahon. Hubka and
Rhodes will probably hold down the
wing positions Captain Shawani
Munn or DuTeau will play tackle. At
guards Kositzky and Wilder will prob
ably be back at their old positions.
These two men have shown so much
form this year that the new men fight
ing for their positions have stood but
a small chance of displacing the vet
erans. Shaw, Young. Teter, Triplett
and Kriemelmeyer, husky members of
last year's freshman team will be on
hand to substitute for the first string
men. and it is probable that they will
all be used in Saturday's game as any
or all of them Can be put into the
varsity line-up without weakening the
the strength of the machine to any
gr.at extent.

dra, director of the survey, is the
author of the work. The first part

throughout the state. Anyone desir
ing a copy of these bulletins may ob

INSPECTION BOARD BACK
. FROM TOUR OF WEST
Visit Three Places in Search of
Location for Irrigation
School
Chancellor Avery, Deans Burnett
and Stout, with the regents of the
University returned Saturday after
noon from an inspection trip to the
substation at North Platte, the sub
station at Scottsbluff, and the School
of Agriculture at Curtis. The trip
was made by auto, a total of 1,030
miles.
While in Scottsbluff county various
sites were seen in connection with
the school of irrigation provided for
by the last legislature. No official
selection, however, was made. The
board will take into consideration the
pr'opos"ecTsItes'at a later meeting.
The outlying plants visited were all
found to be in flourishing condition.
The party noted with great interest
the excellent crops in the extreme
western part of the state and the ac
tivities of the farmers in . planting
wheat and running corn binders.
Aside from a few dry strips, the only
part of the trip not favored with good
crops was in the sections struck by
hail.
The party had one or two rather
harrowing experiences in the canyon
country near Curtis where a five-Inch
rain a few days previous had washed
out bridges and made grades unsafe
for heavy machines to pass over. How
ever, with only a few slight delays the
trip was made successfully and no in
jury was sustained by man or mechan
ism. Regents Hall, Brown and Haller
relieved Dean Burnett and the chan
cellor occasionally at the wheel.
While there has been much rain in the
west, they avoided practically all the
muddy roads by selecting the sandy
routes after the storms.

have delayed the work somewhat.

books in front of University hall and
the Library this afternoon and all stu
dents who have changed addresses
since their registration are asked to
give their names and correct ad
dresses in these books so that they
may be included in the directory. As
this is the only directory issued dur
ing the year it is important that the
first be accurate.
The book this year will be prac
tically the same size as last year with
the exception that there are fewer
students to be listed. There will be
the complete list of faculty and
campus telephones as well as those
of the students, alphabetically and by
towns. The different orgianizations
and their officers will be listed and
the fraternities and sororities will
have a special section.
Owing to the increased price of
labor and material the price this year
will be twenty-five cents for the paper
bound directories. Those who wish
leather bound books are asked to
leave their names at the University
Y. M. C. A. office as only those or
dered will be printed.

ing with the officers of the Federal

FOUR CLASS PRESIDENTS
TO BE ELECTED TODAY
Two Junior and Senior Candi
dates, One Sophomore and
Three Freshmen in Race
NO CO-EDS AFTER HONORS
Four class presidents will be elected
today. Election will be held from 9
to 12, and from 2 to 5, in the base
ment of the Armory. The Australian
ballot system will be in use, and each
student will cast his vote in a private
booth.'
Owing to the war or some unknown
factor, the political game has not been
so keen this year as in former years.
Fewer men are out for the honors,
and the red-hot rivallry of former
years has not been apparent. No
feminine candidates have appeared
this year, contrary to the usual cus
tom. However, a few political ma
chines have been at work and the
members have pushed their candi
date to the limit. Iron Sphinx has
made its influence felt in both the
sophomore and junior classes. The
seniors are announcing but two can
didates, the juniors two, the sopho
mores one, and the freshmen three.
JjX the senior class John L. Riddel of
Beatrice and Everett J. Garrison of
Summerfield, have announced them
selves as candidates for the presi
dency. Riddel has been prominent for
the past two years in Y. M. C. A.
work, having been the manager of the
employment bureau last year. This
year he is second assistant coach in
athletics. Garrison has received
honors in track work and was on the
cross country team last year. Both
are strong men, and a close race is
expected.
Paul A. Dobson, of Lincoln, and
Jean O. Nelson, of Sterling, are out
for the junior plum. Dobson has been
in football for the past two years,
and won his "N" last year. This year
he is showing up very well, and is one
of the most valuable men on the
team. He is also a member of the
dramatic club. Nelson was on the
sophomore Olympic committee lajst
year, and is one of the men on the
All-University committee. He was on
the Ivy Day committee of last year,
and also is a member of the engineer
ing society.
Following the example of last year's
class, the sophomore's . have ' an
nounced only one man, Russel Best,
of Omaha is the candidate, a man who
was on several class committees last
year. Best has a clear field and the
office will likely be conceeded to him.
From the freshmen comes the an
nouncement of three men as candi
dates for office. "Hank" Albrecht,
of Lincoln, Willard Green of Omaha,
and Claude F. Peters of North Platte.
One man, Richard O'Neille of Lincoln
was disqualified becaused he issued
election cards. The race in the fresh
man class will be clase as all three
men have strong support.
NEW COMMANDANT
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Alumnus Congratulates University
Has Higher Rank Than Any
Previous Commandant
Dr. A. F. Woods. '90, and '92, now
president of Maryland agricultural
college, writes to congratulate the
University on securing Colonel
Roberts as commandant of cadets.
Dr. Woods would have been pleased
to have had him as commandant at
Maryland, but inasmuch as the war
department has seen fit to assign the
colonel to Nebraska, Dr. Woods Is
pleased that his alma mater has se
cured the services of so able a mili
tary man. Owing to difficulty of se
curing competent officers during war
times, the University is especially
gratified that Colonel Roberts is de
tailed. His rank is higher than that
of any of our previous commandants.
NEBRASKAN FREE TO
UNIVERSITY SOLDIERS
Believing that Nebraska. men
actively engaged in the war are
just as anxious for news from the
campus as their former classmates
are for word from them, the man
agement of The Nebraskan will
send the paper free of charge to
every Cornhusker soldier whose
address is known. You can help
by sending lists of addresses to
The Nebraskan, either mailing
them to Station A or telephoning
them to the business office, B-2597.
