SECOND CLASH TOMORROW
Benkins Stars For the Yearlings
Redelfs and Eldridge the Bright
Spots in Second Year Team
By Dwight P. Thomas
The freshmen and sophomore foot
ball teams failed to show which was
the superior eleven when they met on
Nebraska field yesterday afternoon.
The two teams battled for forty min
utes and at the end of that time the
score was the same as it was at tho
beginning in favor of the freshmen.
Both classes played a scrappy
brand of ball, but the first year men
must be given the credit of playing
the best game. Melvin Bekins, right
half for the freshmen, was the star of
the day (a rather unusual phenom
enon at that). He was able to do
about as he wished with the sopho
more ends and line, being good for
repeated long gains. The work of
Redelfs and Eldridge in the sopho
more line, was the only brigh tspot
in that team's weird attempt. (It wab
rumored that the number of coaches
for this team who could be counted
by the scores, had something to do
with its inability to make consistent
gains).
WILL ARRANGE SCHEDULE
FOR VARSITY DEBATING
Prof. M. M. Fogg Announces
Inter-Collegiate Debates Will
Be Held This Year
rnter-rnlleplatfi ilehnte nlana for this
year has been delayed by the many dif
ficulties presented by the war which
make schedules practically impossible.
Prof. M. M. Fogg, who has been in
charge of the debating teams for Ne
braska since 1902, announces that
some agreementwill be arranged with
another college in a short time.
A change in the usual program has
taken place in the arrangement to
match Kansas against Missouri on the
question "Resolved that the terms of
settlement of this war should include
the establishment of a league to en
force peace." Last year Nebraska
won over Kansas in both contests held
in Lincoln and Lawrence. It is not
knowD at present who will be placed
against the Cornhusker representa
tives this season but former Nebraska
teams have established a reputation
that will warrant a schedule with the
strongest teams.
Professor Fogg will be in charge of
the work this year but his work for
the government in the defense coun
cil and the four-minute men league
has prevented him from giving the
usual amount of attention to the de
bating teams. He has been corres
ponding with several colleges about
the arrangement of a schedule and in
timates that something definite will be
known about the matter within the
next week.
Announcement will be made for the
tryouts for the varsity debate team
aiter the settlement of the schedules.
The question this year will be similar
to the one adopted by the Kansas and
Missouri teams, because of the vital
relation of the war to the various pub
lic and political problems.

UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA. LINCOLN. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 21. 1917.
INTERCLASS CONTEST
For most of the game the huh hung
close to the center of the field with
the freshmen able to make sightly
better gains than the second ym
men, during the first two quarters. In
the third quarter the sophomores look
a brace and carried the pigskin into
the freshmen eleven's territory. At
the beginning of the fourth quarter,
however, the first year men got to
gether a'nd on several end runs by
Bekins and a few line bucks they cur
ried the ball to the sophomore ten
yard line, where it was when the
game ended.
Seconod Game Tomorrow
It is probable that another game
will be played by the teams Thursday
afternoon in another attempt to pick
the eleven that is to oppose the jun
iors in the championship match Sat
urday. It is practically conceded that
either of the underclass teams will
be able to take a fall out of the third
year eleven.
The lineup follows:

War Affects Orphanage
The Christian Home orphanage at
Council Bluffs, la., is feeling seriously
the effects of the war. The numer
ous calls for funds for the prosecution
of the war. has greatly affected re
ceipts at the home, and the manage
ment finds itself confronted by a debt
of $G,000 for actual living supplies.
An effort is being made to raise this
sum at Thanksgiving. The home cares
for 500 children annually, and at pres
ent time has more than 250 homeless
children under Its care, and nearly
thirty little ones on its waiting list to
be admitted as soon as funds and room
will permit. The winter season is at
hand, when demands on the home are
greatest. If you feel that ou can
help the work at this time, it will be
invested in a good cause. Ad

PROMINENT PHARMACISTS
SPEAK TO MEDICAL STUDENTS
Yesterduy afternoon Mr. I). J. Fink
of Holdrege and Mr. L. W. McConnell
of McCook, oth of whom are promi
nent druggists, visited the college of
pharmacy. Mr. Fink talked to all the
pharmaceutical students, explaining
how an ethical drug store could be
conducted in a small town and be
made a commercially paying proposi
tion when operated upon a properly
scientific basis. Mr. Fink conducts a
pharmacy at Holdrege after this
method and has made a great success
of it. He fills prescriptions and sells
all kinds of medicine but does not
cater to other lines which most pharm
acies have. He believes that by con
ducting his business in such a way, he
acqures the confidence of more of the
people, increases his trade and as a
result makes it a commercial paying
proposition.
Leaves for Washington
Miss Edna Bullock, librarian of the
legislature reference bureau leaves to

ON TURKEY-DAY BATTLE
Huskers in Long Practice on
New Plays
PROSPECTS ARE GLOOMY
Syracuse Has Ideal Backfield in Two
Speeders and Two Line Smashers
Line Is Heavy
Syracuse will not be the only team
on Nebraska field Tranksgiving day
that will be able to play all kinds of
football. The easterners have been
known for their ability to wear out
opponents by smashing tactics in the
early stages of the game, and then
flashing a brilliant end running game
in the final quarters. The Cornhusk
ers will probably have somewhat, the
same kind of a game when they meet
the Orange representatives.
Coach Stewart kept his men busy
late last evening learning new forma
tions and some new tricks in the
aerial game which will be presented
for the New Yorkers' entertainment.
A hard scrimmage with the varsity
lugging the ball, was followed by a
lighter one in which forward passing
played the principal part.
Phvsical Condition Fair
Most of the members of the team
are in fair physical condition. Schel
lenberg and Rhodes suffered the most
severely in the Kansas game and
have been working back into condi
tion rather slowly. They will how
ever be able to go at full speed be
fore the end of the week, provided no
more injuries occur.
Nebraska's chances of defeating the
Syracuse contingent appear to be
fainter as each day passes. No one
denies that the Orange eleven is su
perior to Michigan by several points,
, that it is. uroba'bly. the equal of
any team in the east. It is also
practically certain that the eastern-
a ha at thpfr at Nebraska in

football Is played, as is possible.

PLAN MONSTER RALLY
DRIVE IN RED
Classes Excused Friday From
Ten to Twelve O'clock
PROGRAM AT AUDITORIUM
Big Drive Will Be Made Friday and
Monday to Raise Nebraska's
Quota
All clases will be excused Friday
morning from 10 to 12 o'clock, accord
ing to the order of Chancellor Samuel
Avery, in order that all students may
attend an all-University patriotic par
ade and rally, for the purpose of rous
ing Nefraska students to show real
Nebraska spirit in the Y. M. C. A. Red
Triangle Friendship fund.
In connection with the war work
the chancellor has issued the follow
ing letter to Nebraska students:
To the Students, the Teaching and Ad
ministrative Force of the Uni
versity:
I have Just returned from a trip to
Washington on official business and
find a report of the Red Triangle cam
paign awaiting me. An analysis of
the returns is in part gratifying to
those who have the welfare of the
country and the soldiers' at heart. In
part it Is disappointing.
On consultation with the various
committees, it seems well to continue
the campaign during the present week
and see if the amount pledged by rep
a team "de luxe." According to au
thentic information from a Cornhusk
er scout, who saw them walk over
the Colgate eleven last Saturday, the
New Yorkers have all these essential
points of a real football team. In the
line they have at least one man who
is being considered for the All-Amer-lean,
and two others who are receiv
ing honorable mention every week.
These men all weigh over the 200
pound mark and are speedsters as
well. In the backfield they have an
almost ideal combination of two big
line smashers and two smaller end
runners, who make life miserable for
the opposing ends and backfield men.
In "Wild Bill" Finsterwald, Syracuse
has the premier smashing fullback of
the season in the east. Matt Brown,
his running mate, smashed through
to three touchdowns almost unassist
ed in the Colgate game. Meehan and
Malone, halfback and quarter, have
been able to do about as they pleased
with opposing end men this year and
are speeders that must be feared by
any team in the country.
STEWART ISSUES CALL -FOR
BASKETBALL MEN
First Practice in Armory To
night Jackson in Charge
Until After Football Season
Nebraska's basketball season will
be unofficially inaugurated tonight, ac
cording to an announcement made yes
terday by Coach Stewart. All candi
dates for both freshmen and varsity
teams are urged to report to Cabl3
Jackson at the Armory, tonight at 7:30
o'clock. Practice will be under the
direction of Jockson until the football
season has closed and Coach Stewart
can give all his attention to basket
ball. What kind of a team Nebraska will
have this year is not certain. Only
two of last year's men are in school
and it is not certain that both of them
will be out for the team this year.
Jackson, forward, is a sure prospect
and can be expected to play nothing
short of a brilliant game this season.
Riddell, guard, the only other old man
in school is still doubtful as to whether
he will be out for the team or not.
Ted developed into a valuable guard
last year and will be greatly missed if
he is not on the team this year.
Several good men will be candidates
for the varsity this year that were on
the freshmen squad last season and
there are a few men who have been
on the scrubs for a season or so who
are gradually developing into possible
varsity material.
The basketball schedule has not
been arranged yet as it has to be left
until the annual Missouri valley meet
ing in December. There are rurors of
one or more good trips but what they
will be is still doubtful.
PRICE FIVE CENTS
TO START FINAL
TRIANGLE CAMPAIGN
resentatives of the University, namely,
$15,000 cannot be obtained. Schools
with ndt one-twentieth of our financial
resources have raised over $1,000.
Ames has given $25,000. Failure in
the campprin at this time would pro
duce a must unfortunate impression
in the state.
Severe Economy Necessary
I am perfectly aware that many stu
dents are poor and that salaries are
relatively low in the University and
that living expenses are high. Never
theless we must win the war or noth
ing that we hold dear will be worth
possessing. We should contribute to
the work of the Y. M. C. A. if we have
to go barefoot 'next summer.
From a visit to various camps I am
convinced that the war will be won
through the spirit of the American
soldier. In welding together a mili
tary machine that can cope with that
of Germany the Y. M. C. A. is an im
portant factor. It is the soldier's club
house. It is the place where he writes
his letters home. It is the place
where he can find a little rest and re
creation. As one of' the militiamen
from the Mexican border said, to me
last summer, "We fellows just couldn't
get along without the Y. M."
Everyone On Pledge List
May we not have on the subscrip
tion list the names of all connected
with the University as faculty, other
employees, or students? Will not some
of those who are in relatively comfort
able circumstances increase subscrip
tions already made? Should we not
give our money freely in view of the
fact the very existence of America as
a nation worthy of the respect of man

ARRANGE TAXING
OF STUDENT FUNCTIONS
Comus Club Dance, Senior
Party and Engineers Hop
Under Ruling
Ten per cent war tax will be col
lected on all University social func
tions that have been held since Novem
ber 1, as well as on those to follow the
inauguration of the tax here, this
week. This announcement was made
yesterday by the students' activities
office.
Action is being taken in accordance
with the letter received Saturday by
T. A. Williams, agent for student ac
tivities, from the office of the internal
revenue office at Omaha. In the let
ter it was stated that the tax, which
applies on all theatre and other forms
of amusement, wil be extended to
cover University social functions.
It is believed that no tax will be as
sessed on "The Piper" since that was
given for benefit of the French war
orphans. It is thought in the students'
activities office that all fraternity or
sorority house dances, or any social
affairs given by any University organi
zation will be taxed. As questions re
garding individual cases come up they
will be settled by reference to the war
revenue office at Omaha. So far, the
only acair of the activities office that
will be affected by this provision is the
Comus club dance, held last Saturday,
and this has already been arranged
for.
The management of the senior hop
on Friday and the Engineers hop on
Saturday have announced that since
the tickets are already out, the tax
will be collected at the door. For
these acairs the tax will be thirteen
cents.
Just what method will be used in
collecting the tax on those affairs that
have already been held, has not yet
been determined, but no difficulty in
collecting is anticipated. In the fu
ture, the tax Will be paid when the
ticket is purchased.
