Cornhuskers regained something of
their ohltime form Saturday night and
retaliated for their Friday evening de
feat at tin; hands of the Drake Bull
doss by sending them sprawling the
full length of ii 19 to 9 score.
The first game of the series was
plucked by the lowans by a count of
22 to 15 from the t'ornhuskers who
were crippled almost beyond recogni
tion. The aforementioned regulars,
Schellenberg. Bailey and Gillilan.
were missing from the score card in
the Friday disaster and several sub
stitutes were so new that their tags
had not yet 'been jerked off. Arnold
North, freshman forward of two sea
sons ago, was shoved into the lineup
in Sehellenberg's place and had only
played with the team once since his re
turn from the service.
Reynolds was substituted for Bailey
and Ernie Hubka, who withdrew from
the squad two weeks ago, was hauled
back to play in Gillilan's place.
Teams Battled About Even
The strange mixture worked fairly
well in the first half of the game.
Drake scored first but Nebraska soon
caught up and the score stood 9 to 6
in the Cornhuskers' favor at the half
way point. The Bulldogs came back
strong in the last period and tied up
the score. The tally balanced about
even for a time and within two min
utes of the final whistle, the Iowans
were leading by a one point margin.
16 to 15. The big lop on the. Drake
side of the score card was due to
three neat baskets from the fingers of
Ted Payseur in the last few seconds
of play.

husker spirit but devoid of any exces-
sIVO overflow Of CllthllSiilMin llin
husker banquet was fittingly revived
as onn of Nebraska's greatest tradi
tions last Thursday night. More than
1.10 representative university men
were present nt the big feast held ut
the Lincoln Commercial Club to com
memorate the deeds of athletic he
roes, to give recognition to all univer
sity activities, and to pay tribute to
the Cornhuskers who fought and died
on the battlefields of France.
The banquet this year was conduct
ed with unusually good order. The
spirit was there but it had a deeper,
truer ring and it manifested itself In
hearty applause and in the evidence
of keen enjoyment rather than in row
dyism. And when Dr. K. J. Stewart,
at the close of his talk, declared that
ti e University of Nebraska could have
made no finer sacrifice than "Dusty"
Rhodes, all heads were bowed in a si
lent tribute to the great athlete.
The varsity quartet, Gayles Musical
Merry-Makc-rs, and several clever skits
provided entertainment while the ban-
ouet was in progress. The merriment
reached its height when a burly po-
iceman attempted to arrest Paul Dob-
son. captain or next years looiuau
team, and Cable Jackson, the leader of
the basketball quintet, and the crowd
refused to let them go.
Guy Reed Presides
Guy Ree'd. Ml. acted as toastmaster
and following the banquet he called
upon football and basketball men and
representatives of other student or
ganizations. Dr. George R. Condra
opened the fireworks of the evening
with a reusing pep-talk in which h,e
urged Nebraska students to learn the
history of the university, its colleges,
its athletic teams and its men. A
thorough knowledge of the university
will greatly assist in quickening Corn
husker spirit, ho said.

i
of Husker Banquet
( Dr. K. J. Stewart, director of nth
t letirs, expressed his pleasure at the
return of the Cornhusker banquet as
a Nebraska tradition. He told what
athletics were doing for the univer
sity and made a vigorous appeal for
the revival of Cornhusker spirit. His
announcement of the football schedule
for next year revealed the extension
of his policy in drawing big games to
Nebraska. He closed with a tribute
to "Dusty" Rhodes, the greatest Husk
er athlete to glvo his life on the bat
tlefield. Professor R. E. Cochran, who spoke
next, threw a few brickbats at students
and activities in general and said that
united effort was needed to awaken
the university.
Applause at Mention of Gymnasium
Regent J. E. Miller was given the
heartiest applause of the evening when
he said that Nebraska needed a new
gymnasium. He reviewed student ac
tivities from several different view
points and paid a tribute to General
Pershing as a Nebraska man. He was
followed by Senator R. E. Weaverling,
Ml. who gave a pleasant review of
school life in former days.
"In honor of the real fellows who
fought in France," Chancellor Avery
appeared in uniform telling of the
part the university played in the war.
His talk was filled with humor, inter
mingled with seriousness, as he told
stgries of camp and army life. He
said that real Cornhusker spirit was
the embodiment of the fine qualities
of the American soldiers who fell In
France whom he accorded the highest
praise.
Dean C. C. Fngborg, -in closing the
program, appealed for greater efforts
in the coming reconstruction period.
He deplored the disorganization re
sulting from the S. A. T. C. and asked
that university men unite in doing
everything to make the University of
Nebraska a bigger and a better insti
tution. REGISTRATION REVEALS
DECREASED ENROLLMENT
Total Figures Show Drop From
Preceding Two Semesters'
Attendance
A decrease in the number of stu
dents enrolled this semester from that
of previous semesters is shown by the
records of registration up to Saturday
ill he Kiirnrisme to
. . . i
those who expected the campus to be
crowded the second half of the year.
The total of l.fifll shows almost 700
less than registered the first semester,
and almost H'O less than the second
semester of last year. Friday was tho
the heaviest day of the registration,
with a total of 492.
The enrollment will be enlarged
raaterlaJly by the registration next
week. Many former students who
have returned from army service have
reregistered In the university.
Hryce Crawford, '22, of Omaha, Cal
loway Vandecar, '21. of York, and
Amos Ginn, '22, of Nebraska City have
returned to school for the second sem
ester. Daily Nebraskan Reporters
The Daily Nebraskan offers an
excellent opportunity for univer
sity students who wish to se
cure practical experience In
reportorial work. Some experi
ence or ability in writing
straight news stories is requi
site especially in the case of
underclassmen. Students who
wish to try out for places on the
staff should confer with the
managing editor at the Daily
Nebraskan office from four to
six daily.
DAILY NEBRASKAN STARTS
DRIVE FOR SUBSCRIPTIONS
Campaign for Student Support
Beg-un Registration Week Will
Be Extensively Conducted
One of the most vigorous and far
reaching subscription campaigns ever
attempted by a student publication is
being conducted by the management
of the Daily Nebraskan this week.
Business Manager Glenn Gardner, who
was hindered by a late start in the
registration week drive, will push the
campaign harder than ever in an at
tempt to make a thorough canvass of
the entire student body.
Solicitors will continue their work
this week and subscriptions will be
taken at t ho student activities' office
in the Administration building and at
the Daily Nebraskan olhce In the
basement of IT. hall. It Is hoped that
by the end of the week every student
and faculty member of the university
will have given his dollar in support
of the colloge daily.
Subscription List Low
University publications in general
i have experienced unusual financial
difficulties this year. Advertising has
been hard to get and the subscription
list has fallen far below normal. Dur
ing the S. A. T. C. period the paper
was distributed to all students and
this policy was continued throughout
the semester. Next semester a list
of subscribers w ill be posted and the
papers checked out at Station "A"
where they, are delivered at ten
o'clock each morning.
Faculty members have shown a
commendable spirit in subscribing for
the Daily Nebraskan and if students
were as whole-hearted in their support
the paper would show close to a one
hundred per cent subscription list. So
licitors will attempt to meet every
faculty member whom they may have
missed last week. The Nebraskan
will be delivered at the office of any
instructor.
CONSERVATION DEPT. IS
ENGAGED IN BROAD WORK
The state conservation and soil
survey published its preliminary report
on the potash industry about a year
ago. Since that time several thousand
copies of this report have been dis
tributed throughout the United States
and other countries.
This department has Just completed
a bulletin on Nebraska Soils as Road
Materials. The bulletin Is intended for
use bv county commissioners and road
J
builders generally
The final report on the potash indus
try of Nebraska is being prepared, and
the volume will be one of two hundred
pages or more. It will contain about
fifty descriptive illustrations.
The department of conservation and
soil survey is one of the departments
at the university which touches a large
number of resources and activities of
the state. According to statutes this
! lfnnrf menf i-ni-prn thf citrvcvu rvf unit
1 lands, road materials, water resources,
water power, potash, forest resources
and industries. The survey employs a
number of advanced students and
graduates of the university. Most of
the field work is done in co-operation
with federal departments. The re
modeling of Nebraska hall will aid
greatly this department in its work, be
cause it will have a number of labora
tories for advanced instruction and to
carry on the work of testing road ma
terials, waters, potash, etc. Even spe
cial rooms will he used for motography
relating to the field work of the sur
vey. The average student does not
realize the scope of this department's
work and the number of individuals
its literature reaches.
Advanced commercial geography
will be known the second semester as
Economics 4. Beginning with page 640
the text will be completed, bat more
attention will be paid to outside prep
aration, magazine articles, and news

UNIVERSITY PURCHASES
BARRACKS AT STATE FARM
The urmy barrack buildings, com
pleted on the university farm campus
shortly before the signing of the arm
istice, have been purchased by the
University of Nebraska. The build

a thousand windows, besides a large
quantity of plumbing, toilet and elec
tric light fixtures.
The amount the university paid for
the buildings was not announced.
Neither was the cost of the building

is understood the university paid a
rather low figure, but the cost of un
building the structures will be larje.
