"I Just came away from Nebraska

All gave toward one cause, namely,
that of sharing their abundant life

Lincoln manned 1'i.imki strong in
the biggest parade in its history last
Saturday, on the first anniversary of
America's entrance into the war and
launched the third liberty loan cam
paign with a lm..-t of enthusiasm.
Never have so many people of Lincoln
been lined up in a single procession
before. From little tots in the kinder
garten to old Civil war veterans, from
University sorority girls to members
of the labor unions, and the Boys
Scouts and It. O. T. C. cadets marched,
all lired with the same patriotic en
thusiasm which bpread to the throngs
packing the sidewalks on tioth sides.
Working like clockwork, everything
went off on schedule time. The va
rious divisions began to form as early
as !t o'clock and at 10 tho leaders got
under way, with the rst falling in as
their turns came. From 11th and J
streets, the parade went north to N
street and turned west to Ninth, then
north ai;aiii to O and finally in all its
glory swung down the main street
to Fifteenth.
Many Unique Features
Little Warren Pershing. -seven-year-old
son of Major General Pershing,
was in the Prescott school unit,
dressed in aregular army uniform with
leather leggings and cartridge belt.
A little fellow dressed in a sailor suit
marched with his father in the line.
Mothers and sisters of men in the
service inarched in a division and
Hi.tny other nature-., .-tc.rl r.-zt for spe
cial recognition. Cotner 'University
had the goddess of liberty in a float
with the devil and the kaiser in meek
submission trailing along behind.
What stood out the most conspicuous
in the procession was the well drilled
University regiment of R. O. T. C.
cadets. With fixed bayonets and in
regular army uniforms the three bat
talions, headed by the commanding
officers and the. band made a line three
blocks long. It was a thrilling sight
to see so many soldiers in perfect
step march by, and that division
caused much comment among the
crowd.
Behind the soldiers came the Red
Cross workers in a body of 200 with
white and red head dress. The leaders
carried a huge banner "University Red
Cross Unit." and other banners ap

SECOND TRYOUT SATURDAY
Coach to be Careful in Selection of
Men for Drake Trip Chance
for Other Men.
Notwithstanding th ' fact that there
was a very muddy track and a strong
west wind about twenty aspiring
track i.rtists donned the flappers
and spikes last Saturday afternoon
and took part in the first of a series
of tryouts for the purpose of picking
the team which will represent Ne
braska at the Drake relay carnival
on April 20. In spite of the fact
that the track was muddy and that
there was a strong wind blowing,
the men made very good time and
under normal conditions would in all
probability have set up some pretty
fast marks.
j The dope for the mile was all
spilled to the winds when a new
man on the squad, Kretzler, stepped

Hagar's Lincoln High athletes were
on the job, trying to gain a little
benefit by competition with the var

to the work of the team.
May Have Another Tryout
Coach Stewart is planning on a
j couple
of more tryouts in order
that he may get a good idea of the
men. One of them will be held the
last of this week and the other prob
ably .sometime next week as tae
team will leave the last of next
week for Des Moines.
Coach Stewart also says that
there is still 'plenty of room on the
squad for more men and urges that
every one who can wili get out. Due
to the fact that the military depan
nient has the athletic field from 5
to 6 o'clock every night, he re
quests that as many as can got out
between 3 and 4 o'clock, and assures
the men that they will be dismissed
in time for drill.
