aid to the families of men in service,
and takes care of disabled soldiers re
turned from the front. Already there
are eighty-eight wounded soldiers in
New York City and they will be sent
out to their homes as soon as possible.

relief secretaries in every community
and citizens should prepare to co-operate
with the relief committee of their
locality.

tome to pass, and the Wesleyan Coy
otes will meet the Cotner Bulldogs
in two games of basketball on the
Armory floor next Friday and Satur
day. Cotner has tried for some time
to get a match with the Coyotes but

get a reputation or words to that; el
feet. But the Bulldogs were true to
their tenacious reputation and kept at
it until the University Place bunch
finally were forced to yield. From all
the dope that is available the matches
should be exceptionally fast and hard

ested in the game to attend. The

while that on Saturday will be staged
in the afternoon, starting at 3:30
o'clock.

IIEI PATRIOTISM
TO W Hi WAR
Women at Mass Meeting Regi
ster for Red Cross
ERNEST SPIRIT PREVAILS
Can Sign Up for Working Hours
at Library Any Time
Today
Patriotism and enthusiastic loyalty
again exhibited themselves within the
rank and file of Nebraska's student
body, when the co-eds and women of
the faculty assembled yesterday morn
ing In what proved to be one of the
most inspiring Convocations of the
school year. The sincerity with which
the Red Cross work will be carried on
in the future was demonstrated by the
hearty response , given the speakers
and the readiness with which the wom
en registered for definite hours in Red
Cross work.
Edith Yungblut. president of the
Girls' club, acted as chairman of the
meeting. Prof. Sarka Hrbkova, Miss
Kowgill and Mrs. Whitfield were the
principal speakers. "What are We
Going to Do?" was the theme of the
entire program and voluntary induc
tion into the Red Cross service rather
than compulsory enlistment was hailed
by Nebraska's women with true Ne
braska spirit.
Mrs. Whitfield spoke first on the
work to be done in Lincoln. She told
with pride of the splendid work done
in the first drive for surgical dressings
and of the reputation Lincoln has es
tablished for itself because of the
amount accomplished in so short a
time. " 'Make surgical dressings' is
the cry of the hour," she declared,
"and it should inspire us with a sense
of loyalty and a desire for service
first as does the strains of our national
anthem."
Pleads for Nurses
Miss Kowgill's plea for recruits In
the nursing profession stirred every
one with a desire to be of some hlep.
Thirteen thousand nurses are wanted
by the government by the first of next
January and these nurses, taken from
our hospitals, must be supplanted by
young women who are willing to lay
aside their life's plans for the coun
try's cause. "The objection is often
raised that girls entering the profes
sion now will never get into real Red
Cross work," Miss Kowgill said,
"While there is a possibility that they
will not complete their training in
time to join the hospital, unit in
France, they will have rendered just
as great a service to their country
by taking up the work left by those
already trained. A life saved on this
' ide of the water is just as valuable as
one saved on that side, and there is
much to be done in hospitals, in slums,
and every place where health con
servation is the watchword.".
"That the country is at war, has not
seeped through some brains yet'," an
nounced Prof. Sarka Hrbkova with
her characteristic vigor. "We re
sponded to the Red Cross work for a
while and then allowed our impulse
to wear off. When you sign up here
today, for Red Cross work, feel Just
as our boys did when they signed up
in June. Let us make ourselves feel
that we are drafted, that we are bound
by an iroh-clad agreement between
ourselves and our government."
R. E. Gillespie, a former Nebraskan,
who has been stationed at Ft. Riley
in Red Triangle work, .made a few
concluding remarks. He expects to
go to Russia soon to work with the
Salvation army.

All of the girls were asked to sign
up for the hours at which they could

SPRING FOOTBALL
TO STARTMDHDAY
Coach Stewart Will Have Sev
eral Assistants
FACES A HARD SEASON
Coaches Want Big Squad of Varsity
Candidates Out for
Spring Practice
Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock the
spring football drive will begin in
earnest. All the necensary parapher
nalia will be issued Saturday from 9
to 12, and it is hoped that there will
be so many candidates out that there
will not be near enough stuff to go
around. Already several of the last
year's squad are working out and with
these and the new material that is
expected, Nebraska fans have every
reason to hope for the best team next
year.
"Ed" Shaw, captain of the 1917
champs will be on hand to assist in
the coaching, as will "Dusty" Rhodes,
the captain-elect for the coming year.
Coach Stewart is making an effort to
enlist the aid of all the old men in the
city, to help in this work. There are a
number of Nebraska's old ex-football
stars who are in business in Lincoln,
and it Is expected that a large propor
tion of them will work with the regu
lar coaching staff.
Stiff Season Ahead '
Nebraska has ahead of her the stiff -est
season that any Missouri Valley
team has ever tackled, and it is only
through the persistent effort on the
part of the men in the University that
we will be able to carry It through to
a successful close. At present there
is only one open date from the first
week in October until the season
closes on Thanksgiving, and the pros
pects are that even this rest day may
be filled up with a game before very
long. But aside from being long the
schedule is not the easiest in the
world. On the list are such teams as
the University of Washington, last
year's Pacific Coast champions and
Denver university, the leaders in the
Rocky Mountain conference, besides
such strong teams as Northwestern,
Notre Dame and Syracuse. Then there
are the usual conference games with
Missouri, Iowa and Kansas which are
always rather tough propositions. Al
together the coming season promises
to be a gruelling grind all the way
through and it is going to take a lot
of hard and steady work on the part of
the .team. Consequently the coaches
are anxious that a large squad of men
report for the spring practice tmd get
things to going as early as possible,
besides giving them a chance to see
about what they will have to depend
on for next year.
CONTINUE CODY
CAMPAIGN TODAY
Results Yesterday Satisfactory
but More Money
Needed
Tagging for the Camp Cody Ball and
Bat fund will continue today until the
necessary funds are secured.
The campaign carried on yesterday
was successful, but it was not exten
sive enough to reach all University
people, and it Is expected that those
who were not reached yesterday will
be approached today. Faculty mem
bers and University employes will re
quire most of the attention of solici
tors today.
The co-eds who were on the Job yes
terday were Nfor the most part en
thusiastic about the response of the
University. Only in a few instances
have solicitors been turned down flat
ly, and in this number were Included
the usual per cent of chronic head
shakers. The canvass, if successful
this morning, - will . show that Ne
braskans do not value a quarter in
their own pocket more than they do
the Pleasure of making it possible for
some Cornhusker in the service to play
at the great out-door game.
