This Year First Meeting to
Be Announced
V.'ith the appro.hing cyclone grow
ing fiercer lird more fnrious h vir V
hour, Coaches Kline and SculsBler
were busy with trowel and mortal
yesterday constructing a solid but
wark which would withstand tie vlo
lenre or the Kansas storm, wnon one
of the best fortified compartments hac-
sudden collopse.
The news that halfback Sehel!n
lerg would leave the next day for an
officers' training camp exploded cud
demolished the rear end of the struc
ture. The speedy little Husker filed
for admission to the O. T. C. when th?
call was sounded for infantry candt
. dates about a month ego, and he re i
ceived instructions to leave for camp
this week.
With Harold McMahon, the secona
member of the pair of stellar half
lacks on crutches. Coaches Kllae and
Schissler were seeing spots dancing
before their eyes over the outlook for
Saturday's battle between "the Corn
huskers and the Kansas Jayhawkers.
The Nebraska eleven was just recov
ering and adjusting itself after three
members of the squad left latt week
for officers' camps, and the coaches
are getting to be expert maneuvering
officers in shifting around the baek
Celd material to make a strong aggre
gation. ' "
Schissler said yesterday: "Schelly
is one of the great players developed
at Nebraska in recent years. A liard 1
driver on offense he is equally profi
cient on defense. He tackles fiercely
and can be depended on to break tip
all forward passes that come sailing
Into his section of the back field. I
hate to contemplate what may happen
to the Cornhuskers in the Kansas and
Notre Dame games unless Schelly is
on the Job at left halfback."
Special Jayhawk Train
The Jayhawk clan is coming to Lin
coln next Saturday with a special
train load of rooters including most of
the S. A. T. C. detachment, to wipe
the Cornhuskers off the landscape.
Their S3 to 0 defeat at the hands of the
Oklahoma Sooners last week has an
thing but disheartened them and their
determination to clean Nebraska is
redoubled.

WHAT DO YOU THINK IS MY SHARE?
By Bruce Barton
He is a conscientious gentleman, who honestly wants to do right.
And he came to me shaking his head.
"I want to do my full part in this United War Work Campaign,"
he said. 4-j0 you think a hundred dollars is my sharer'
And I told him that Jt would be hard for anyone but himseir to
decide. "There are so many different ways of looking at money," 1 said.
A hundred and seventy millions looks big at first glance. It is
forty times what Jefferson gave for the Louisiana territory.
It's a dollar t.nd seventy cents for every roan, woman and child
In the land; it's more than eight dollars and 'a half for every hou;e
hold. You can figure it on that' basis," I told him. "On the basis of
dollars and cents. Or you can figure it on the baBis of boys."
"Of boys?" be questioned. "I do not understand."
It's less than fifteen centb a day for each of our soldiers and sail
0IV I answered. -"Fifteen cents a day to give them warmth and com
fort and entertainment, and lectures, and games, and the thought of
bother and of God."
"Fifteen centu a day for a boy. two for a quarter a day. How
many boys win you take?"
And his eyes kindled. "1 think I could take ten at leat." he
""Id. He drew hi checi book out.
"Figure it out and tell me the price." he said. "I want you to
e vtMhem the best you've got. What is It going to costr

that eight commissioned officers had

S. A. T. C. men can no longer be ex
caused from classes by their instrnc
tors but must receive permission from
their military officers, according to
notices sent out Tuesday as a resvU
of a conference between Acting Chan
cellor W. G. Hastings . and . Regional
Director E. C. Nicholson Monday. In
structors were also requested to maxr
daily reports of all absences or other
breaches of discipline by S. A. T. C.
students.
One of the notices, in part, says:
"The request is eminently reason
able and timely. There is mnch dan
ger that the coming of the armistice
at the time when our oisan'zation it
just getting nnder way, may lead to
a relaxing of attention and discipline
that may cuse a disa sl.rr.ua loss of
time and morale. Officers and in
structorsi, therefore, will report to
the registrars' office by five o'clock
each day any absence or other infrac
tion of good order which has occur
red in their classes or on the ctmpu?
ander the observation -within ihs pre
seding twenty-four lours."
Baron Burian of Austria-Hun gary
3ays that war is "senseless blood
shed." There is no teacher like ex
perience, and it took four years to
whip the lesson in.
With the nubbin of Cornhusker pa
triotism floating barely at the 4.000
mark, the war work thermometer at
the west entrance of the Armory Indi
cates that Nebraska students have
failed to live up to expectations in sub
scribing to the university's quota of
$25.00f. Three days of the campaign
have now elapsed and so far Husker
students have accomplished nothing
but a poor start. But three days re

"over the top" in war work activities.
To offset this delay the committal?
in charge are making an urgent ap
peal to all students to go the full limit
in making their contributions. A ten
dollar subscription from each studenr
is necessary to put the University of
Nebraska "over the top." A report
from Creighton university at Omaha
states that with the campaign still in
progress there the average for each
student is 121.
Navy Meads List
. The naval section of the S. A. T. C.
heads the list of university organiza
tions with a 100 per cent subscription.
Closely following are Companies "D"
and "E," the first of the army section
to turn in their reports. Other com
panies have not completed t'heir cam

University women are far behind the
men in their subscriptions:. Ten
teams, each under the leadership of a
captain are canvassing the ocjedb.
Beginning today they expect tr meet

MORALE, THEY CALL IT, AND IT IS WINNING
THE WAR
By Bruce Barton
Back from the lines they came, their minds full of pictures i-hat
refused to fade.
They did not smi'.e; they did not Joke; they d'd not speak. Like
men grown old in a single night they dropped heavily upon the ground,
their eyes staring cold before them.
In a moment the hut door opened and a secretary came out. His
eye took in the situation at a glance. It was no time for talk; he
turned back into his hut again.
And suddenly a baseball rolled out and bounded on the ground;
then came a bat; and gloves; and a catcher's mask,
A man who sat beside the hut p-cked up the ball and turnefl it
idly in his hands as if it had been some foreign thing. Another man
picked up the bat; a third played absenty with a glove.
Then, like flame out of smouldering embers, a baseball game
was born full fledged behind that little hut. The air was filled with
laughter, and the loud shouts. of men whose minds are cleansed f
every worry, and whose hearts are free.
So peace came to those men who had been so burdened with their
memories. And in the morning they were fresh as men who had
never fought.
They call it morale the miracle that restores men's f-pirlts and
sends them back every morning fresh and confident.
You have today your chance to contribute to morale. It Is a chance
yrn msrt set miss.
For morale is w iniJng the war.
