The Olympics will be one event which the Homecomer will probably watch with interest, and from indica tions the things that will happen Sat urday morning will be worth watch ing. The two underclasses have gone about the preparations for the settling of the rivalry between them in an ad mirable manner. There has been lots of enthusiasm and an abundance of spirit shown by both sides, but neither has reverted to school-boy tactics to argue them. Because they have post poned the decision, as they should, until Saturday morning, the contests at the M street park should be the keenest in a number of years. still an uninvited guest, and he is growing fat and sassy in his new home. So successful have been his operations that the entire Nebraska line will not contain a letter man, and only two regulars. The condi tion of the backfleld is scarcely bet ter, for two regulars have serious in juries. It is a time when Nebraska spirit is needed, when fight and determina tion must make up for experience. The game will be a crucial one, not, to be sure, because of the strength of the foe, but of the present weakness of the Cornhusker machine. The stu dent section should be the source of at least one touchdown Saturday. WHEATLESS AND MEATLESS DAYS; ECONOMY IN SUGAR AND FATS In this issue of The Nebraska there is an article by Chancellor Avery on wheatless and meatless days and sugar and fat conservation why pre cautionary steps must be taken and what economy will do toward nullify ing the shortage in these foods. Every student boarding club, cafeteria, fra ternity and sorority has been asked to support the movement, and some of them have done so, but the general University public does not yet realize its responsibility. A meatless day a week is not even a novelty; a wheat less day should soon lose its un palatable aspects and become a wel come custom. In the matter of con servation of sugars and fats students can do infinitely more than they think by being merely careful and conserva tive. Economy in the use of sugar and fats as far as the students are concerned need mean no more than the careful instead of careless use of these foods. Read Chancellor Avery's article and find out just how necessary is this conservation you have been asked to help in. THE MISSOURI'S GAME The game with Missouri Saturday will, in several ways, be the most in teresting game on the Nebraska sched ule. In the first place it will mark the resumption of relations with the Tigers after a lapse of several years. The last time Nebraska met Missouri on the gridiron was in 1912, at Co lumbia, when the Cornhuskers de feated the southerners, 7-0. Relations with Missouri were dropped by mutual consent because of the insistence upon the part of Missouri that the Corn huskers bar colored players. It is. expected that now, with nothing to engender ill-feeling between the two colleges, a wholesome and keen rivalry may be built up. The fact that it will be the Home coming .game and the first contest with a Valley rival also will make the game with Missouri important. The Homecomers must find, both on the field and in the stands, the same kind of Nebraska fight that they used to see. From another standpoint, Ne braska's rating in the Missouri Valley will depend in part upon the showing made against the Tigers. More important than all these con siderations, from a strictly Nebraskan point of view, is the fact that the team will play its first game since its defeat by Michigan. Nebraska students have not lost any faith in the team because of the unfortunate defeat they have stronger faith than that. But it is imperative that they show the team that they are with them more than ever. The average student who has not been following the dally reports of practice may not appreciate as much as some the im portance of support from the stands Saturday. The "jiux" which has fol lowed Nebraska so persistently is Chancellor Avery I have been asked by members of the Patriotic league to explain the need of economy in the use of the ! four types of food named above, in order that patriotic students may be familiar with the reasons why cafe terias, sorority, fraternity houses, and general boarding houses should fall enthusiastically into line with the fed eral food administration. 1. Wheat Our soldiers in France and our al lies need 300.000 bushels of our wheat. If we consume it as freely as hereto fore, we shall have little to send to them; but we have an enormous sup ply of corn, estimated at 3,000,000 bushels. Corn is not a good export used in explosives. We can easily re duce the amount that we eat, and if we have any influence in the kitchens, save much from bones, bone marrow and other waste products for soups. Americans commonly eat butter three times a day. In Europe butter on the table once a day is considered a rea sonable allowance, even for well-to-dj families. Through moderation in diet and saving what would otherwise go into the garbage can we can easily reduce our consumption of fats to the point where there will be plenty tor export and where prices at home will not be excessive for war times. Conclusion In a word, all waste should be elim inated, all edible products should be utilized. The garbage can should be practically abolished. Eat freely of all Nebraska cereals other than wheat. Use Nebraska chickens, eggs, cheese, cottage cheese, beans, and potatoes. Adapt your diet to winter vegetables, carrots, parsnips, squash, apples. Think whether what you desire to eat will embarrass the county, and if so, moderate your desires and substitute abundant local products not desired for export.

CAMPUS NEWS Mr. Neb Hall was on the campus yesterday, with his children, Yew, Art and Bessey. Gertrude Hall, a distant relative of the children, was also in the city. Mr. Hall, on being interviewed issued the following state- cars, elevators, and the holds of ships. Besides our friends on the other side are not familiar with its use. If we could replace half of the wheat that we eat with corn and other cereals, ment: "I am very glad indeed to be product. It is liable to heat in freight j on the campus today. Yes, we are an wen. Art is a nne young ieuow. Bessey, though quite young, is very large for her age. I am worried though about Yew. Yew was quite sick last year and according to the doctors he was sinking rapidly, but under careful treatment he became there would be no international wheat much stronger. However, he still is problem and neither we nor our allies ! bljPd wear splints. I myself am i feeling well, but I fear my age is tell- would sutler from lack -or wheat. Even one wheatless day a week will save one-seventh of our wheat crop for export and help greatly. It we would eat only whole wheat bread, we should save 11 per cent of the wheat crop for human food, and the coarser fare of the whole wheat bread, as well as corn products, will be beneficial to the health of most of us. 2. Meat The animals belonging to our allies have been slaughtered on account of the emergency of war. We must supply our boys in France and our allies on the western front with meat. Beef, pork, mutton, are the staples. Let us use substitutes at home as much as we can, such as eggs, chick ens, and other domestic fowls, cheese, milk, beans, sometimes called the meat of the poor, and where market conditions permit, fish. If we can re duce our meat diet for six days in the week and do entirely without meat one day, there will be an abundance of meat for export. Many of our coun trymen have always done without meat one day in the week. Many others have done without pork every day in the week. Should not all Amer icans deny themselves for patriotic reasons as cheerfully as many do on religious grounds? 3. Sugar Beet sugar from Europe i3 not to be' had. Transportation from the tropics is difficult. Domestic sugar factories produce only a small portion of the sugar consumption of the country. Americans eat on the average 85 pounds of sugar per year. No other nation has ever used more than two thirds as much per capita. Most civil ized nations use less than half. Sugar is a most excellent food, but on ac count of its concentration and solu bility it should be used in moderation. Cut out the excessive use of sweeten ing in coffee and tea, the undue in dulgence in candies, sundaes, and the like, the excessive use of preserves and cake. Banish the candy box from the center-table on holidays. Use corn syrup and honey freely. Byconsum- lng on me. Mr. E. E. Laby and son, Brace, were aso on the campus yesterday. Some people seem to think that it is not necessary to support the Rag just because it has a staff. Startling Facts Scotia, Nebr., has a population of 32S inhabitants.

The Ohio State university, with a student body about the size of Nebraska's has raised $18,000. Ames, whose student body numbers 2,100, has pledged $22,000. C. S. Holcombe, '16, in charge of the state campaign in the school declares they will pass that mark. "At Peru Normal, after the students had hesitat ingly pledged $500, they raised $2,500 in one chapel meeting and will make it $2,500," he said. The faculty of Peru pledged 15 per cent of their months salary and when theT tion was taken they had $100 of that amount." 0ver At Hastings college, where th dents gave $1,005 in one hour a" senior class averaged $16 each At Doane college 25 ', pledged $775 but gave over $ first trial and decided to raise f ft These could be reported i J J cally every college in the state JZ Holcombe.
