Harold Long Elected Captain
Men Will Drill Once a
AVeek,
The 'Tershing Rifles" was reor
ganized yesterday evening at a meet
ing held in the Armory attended by
about fifty members of the R. O. T. C.
unit. Harold Long was unanimously
chosen captain. Walter Jndd. first
lieutenant; Carl L. Jonge, second lieu
tenant; Burks Harley. first sergeant;
Fred Campbell, right guide; Paul E.
Seidell, left guide.
The men in attendance were se
lected by the officers of each com
pany, who have proven their ability
in military tactics, and a number of
enthusiasts who came voluntarily to
join the organization. Colonel Harold
Long acted as chairman of the meet
ing. No credit will be derived from
military work in the "Rifles." but
those in the organization will obtain
an unlimited amount of experience
and their service in drill will be well
spent. The cream of the unit is rep
resented in the "Rifles" and it is ex
pected that it will be pitted against
some of the crack military companies
in the country for superiority in mili
tary manoeuvers.
Drill will be conducted every Thurs
day evening at 7 o'clock. All mem
bers are urged to be present each
week in order that the program an
be efficiently carried out The "Ri
fles" will be composed of eight squads.
All the officers, both commissioned
and non-commissioned, are officers
in the R. O. T. C. unit
PUNS FOR VICTORY
LOJUI CJOUGH MADE
While the date for the opening of
the Victory loan campaign has not
been set definitely as yet. it Is an
nounced by the secretary of the treas
ury that the drive will begin about
Easter time.
In order that the importance and
necessity of putting this great $6,000,
000,000 loan over the top may be bet
ter realized, a few facts taken from
the "Victory Reveille," a pamphlet is
sued in the interest of the govern
ment loan workers of the Seventh
Federal Reserve district, are empha
sized. Necessity for Loan
N'ew Year's eve, the cost of the war
to America stood at $22,000,000,000.
This money had been raised by taxa
tion and by Liberty bond issues.
Since tlie middle of November the
treasury has been borrowing money
from the banks at the rate of $600,
000,000 every two weeks. Before the
end of the fiscal year, June 30, four or
fiv billion dollars will have been so
obtained.
In borrowing so extensively from
banks, business is hampered in
normal activities because of the
lack of credit thus created.
If the Victory loan fails, business
depression will result If the loam
Wes over the top as previous Liberty
lons have done, the surplus and
"ings money of the people will be
masned for immediate government
business will be stabilized, en
fcrprise will be encouraged, work will

Relay Team.
The final tryouts for the indoor
meet of the Kansas City Athletic Club
were run off yesterday and Coach
Stewart has picked the men who will
compete in the K. C. Coliseum Satur
day evening. This athletic exhibition
is free to all colleges, athletic clubs,
and individual stars, which makes it
one of the class events of the year.
No records were broken in the try
outs yesterday on account of the slow
condition of the track, but the Corn
husker spike gang can be depended
on to grab a few points.
As a result of the showings made in
the tryouts, the following men have
been chosen to represent the Scarlet
and Cream Saturday:
Quarter; Mile Relay
McMahon.
Gtbbs.
Bryans.
Ted Smith.

Nebraska vs. St. Louis Athletic Club
In the relay event which is the main
attraction of the evening, the Corn
huskers will be matched with the St.
Louis Athletic Club team. Coach
Stewart agreed to this match by a
long distance talk with the president
of the Kansas Athletic Club yester
day. This understanding was reached
after K. U. and the Missouri Tigers
had been paired. The Kansas-Tiger
affair will have a little of the old gin
ger in it due to the fact that the Kan
sans won this relay on a foul in the
dual at Columbia two weeks ago and
there has been a hot discussion
which school has th best team. Tie
match was arranged with the purpose
of settling this dispute. Last year
K. U. ate humble pie at the hands of
Harold McMahon, "Mick" Town send,
"Chet" Grau. and "Art" Tort, and the
match with Missouri will delay their
attempts for vengeance on the Corn
huskers tfTl later in tbe season.
High Class Meet
The annual K. C. A. C. meet is high
class in all respects. Being a free-for-all,
the start of the whole valley win
be present. Such men as Talbot, who
