HUSKER LADS PRACTICE
UNTIL FALL OF NIGHT

McMahon Again Dons Moleskins
and Takes His Place in the
Back Field
The Bhadows had begun to fall and
the street lights had begun to glimmer
as the Husker football warriors
tramped homo from their daily prac
tice drill at the M street pary lasi
n'ght. Coaches Kline and Schissler
worked long and hard with their men,
thift'ng players and plugging up the
holes made bythe departure of Bres
tel. Basset and SImpkir.s to the field
artillery officers' training school at
Camp Taylor, Kentucky.
Back Field Reconstructed
The back field underwent almost a
complete reconstruction. Brestel had
been worked at a halfback position for
a couple of weeks and then substituted
for Captain Erney Hubka, who was
switched from fullback to left tackle
in order to strengthen the line. Bres
tel left for the training camp and his
station was left vacant.
Halfback Schellenberg was laid out
with an Injured neck in the Monday
scrimmage and may not get back In
the lineup before the Saturday against
the Tigers. Harold McMahon's return
to the fold after two and a half weeks
on his back with the Influenza, helped
lighten the burden, of rebuilding the
bacK new. Martin and Hartley were
run in and broken in to the new har
ness of the backfield.

SOLDIER-SCHOLARS
HAVE FANTASTICAL
STUDYING METHODS
Professors are probably at a loss'to
know by what methods and at what
times their students prepare their les
sons and under what influences the
soldier-scholar is led to make such
unusually perfect recitations. If some
evening the inquiring mind of the
teacher should compel him to turn his
wandering slops barrackswards and
iead him into the solitude of th? stu
dents' quarters, he would find hi3 pu
pils doing unheard of stunts hi their
raarner of study.
In one corner with Ms note
book balanced in the window
sits a lonely private laboriously pen
ning pages of manuscript dealing, pos
sibly, with his i.leas of what should
lie Ihe terms of sn armistice with the
central powers. On the floor sits an
other, his foot ber.eath his bunk usi.it,'
his cot for a desk and leaning agains'.
his suitcase. His troubled brow sym
bolizes Math. And yet another stu
dent sits on his cot holding his
only suitcase across his knees and
writes beneath the glow of the hall
light. Giving life to all this show of
intense concentration is the combined
melody of voice and instrument. Th-i
piano in the hall is receiving a great
deal of attention as is the "uke" or
banjo in the far off nook. Every one
is busy, either studying or recreating,
eating or sleeping.
Under the combined influence of
physical exercise, good and regular
meals, early bed time and early ris'tig,
musical entertainment and strkt dis
cipline the boys are receiving tne
best and most extensive education pos
sible. At present unhandy methods
Lof study must be dealt with, tiresome
means of writing roust be usea an,
other unusual practices taken into
consideration but all tuese and more
the boys do cheerfully, and smiling.
Better facilities for study will be made
soon, both to the benefit and Jny of
the students.
LARGE NUMBER VOTES CAST
BY KHAKI CLAD STUDENTS
S. A. T. C. Men Are Not to Be
Cheated Out of the
Ballot
Nearly six hundred of the khaki
clad S .A. T. C. men at the university
took advantage of the opportunity to
cast the'r vote yesterday, and march
ed In groups cf twenty-five to and
from the polls. Practically every mar.
in Ihe unit of voting age. dropped a:,
vote in the ballot box at some t me
during the day.
The university soldiers were not al
lowed to stop and loiter around the
polling booths, and neither were they
permitted to aid in the distribution of
campaign matter, but were required
to return immediately to the barracks
on the campus. S. A. T. C. mon of the
college section voted between the
hours of ten o'clock and noon, while
those in Section "B" of the detach
ment commenced voting at three
o'clock, and continued until the clos
ing of the polls. But about one hun
dred men of Section "A" were eligible
to the vote because so many or these
men have not yet reached their ma
jority. In Section "B" fully two-
thirds of the men were eligible to
vota.

Nebraska to Raise $25,000 of a
Total of 250
Millions
The University of Nebraska has
again been summoned to put forth its
best efforts to swing its part of the
United War Work campaign which

meeting to arouse the enthusiasm of
university students has oeen sched

will be dismissed from 10 to 12. The
entire S. A. T. C. unit will march in
a body to the auditorium.
The university's quota In this nation-wide
campaign to raise 250 mill
ions for the actual promotion ot war
activities is $25,000. This is but
$10,000 more than Nebraska students
contributed in the campaign last year
when their quota was liberally over
subscribed. Since that time the ulti
mate goal of the national campaign
has been Increased fifty per cent, due
to the" fact that we now have over
two million soldiers in France and an
increasingly larger number in training
here.
