111 THE SCRIMMAGE
Coach Schulte for the First Time
Sees Every Candidate
in' Action.
Strong Freshman Team Givea
Huskers Stiff Fight Hubka,
Kellogg Still Absent.
The varsity wbb subjected to a
rigid Inspection Wednesday after
noon. During the two hour scrim
mage with the freshmen every Husker
candidate for a position was In the
battle for a while. During these two
hourB Coach Schulte scrutinized each
one of his men in action.
The coach is getting acqalnted with
the team. Altho he knew only a few
r the Husker grid men when he ar
rived in Lincoln two weeks' ago he has
"by this time formed an estimate from
observing them in action. Nothing in
the way of a first team has been
picked but the inspection goes on
dally and soon the regular varsity
lineup will probably begin to settle
down.
Wednesday's practice was- Initiated
by a short punting period. Dobson
booted spirals regularly for a distance
of forty and fifty yards. Russell was
also Bending them high and far. There
was .very little of the ordinary prelim
inary calesthentic8 of dummy work,
diving, passing, and plunging. The
long scrimmage which gave the coach
a chanc to see what every man on
the varsity squad could do to $e
fighting freshmen was started almost
at once.
The varsity Bquad which first was'
given a crack at the first year men
was lined up in the following order:
L. E. Cypreanson.
L. T. Lyman.
L. G. Wade Munn.
C Triplett.
R. O. Dana.
R. T. Cox. ,
R. EI Lanphere.
Q. B. Howarth.
L. H. Russell. Henry

R. H. Jones.

Aftw this bunch of huskies did
what they could to the "scrub,
(which by the way wasn't scrubbed
so bad as some people were looking
for) the following varsity wave hit
the yearling defense:
L. B. Swanson.
L. T. Wilder.
L. G. Young.
C. Day, Smith.
R. G. Monte Munn.
R. T. Jungmeyer, Wray
R. E. Anthes.

Freshmen Scrap Hard.
Before the dust had blown away and
taps had sounded every varsity candi
date on the field had been given a
trial. There are plenty of grid stars
on the freshman squad to give
Coaches Riddell and Cameron a team
which will make Coach Schulte' and
Schisfc'ler's title contenders fight for
every yard. . It wasn't so easy for
them Wednesday. The freshmen
guards failed to be appalled by the
fierce onslaughts of Dana and the
Munn brothers and many times
mussed up the varsity plays. Camer
on and Riddell constantly urged their
freshmen on and before the scrim
mage was over Cameron jumped in
to the lineup himself.
Gradually Cameron and Riddell are
beginning to get acquainted with their
freshmen. They are also commencing
to find out that many of their grid
sters, who will be wearing green caps
as soon as the supply house is stocked,
have not been coming out to prac
tice. Ffty suits Were issued to first
year men and Jhirty is.' the average
number out on the field. For the pur
pose of keeping tab on those 'who
don't use their suits very often, the
roll call has been resorted to. Each
freshman must be checked off the
litle book each day. The suit supply
is short and the coaches don't want
any Idle togs la the lockers when
other men may not be on the field
for lack of equipment.
The work of organizing .the Uni
versity Orchestra Is well under way.
To date twenty students have reg
istered for this work. The orchestra
will be under the direction of Profes
sor Quirk who has had charge of
this work for the last two years.

Inspires Girls to Start Vig

As Eager to Serve People
Home as Boys in Trenches,
She Declares.
at
The committee in charge of the Sal
vation Army drive met In the Y. W.
C. A. room and after listening to an
inspiring talk by Mh Betty Blodgett,
the "Sunshine Girl," completed their
plans for a rousing campaign to
morrow. M,1b Blodgett told of some of her
experiences as a Salvation Army work
er in the American Expeditionary
Forces In France. She and a school
mate, Miss Watklns, worked with
Mrs. HIckey In the famous Hlckey
hut. They stood at tables and served
soldiers' at the front line. When 'the
boys heard a shell coming near they
would give a signal. The girls would
run to their dug-out for safety and
return immediately.
The greatest service to the boys
was the sisterly comradshlp of the
girls. The Salvation Army girls al
ways made the boys feel that they
were eager to serve them. Miss"
Blodgett said. "If we saw a boy who
was a little down-hearted, he was the
boy we made a bee line for."
Since the war people know about
the Salvation Army and are making
many more calls upon it than before.
The Salvation Army is just as eager
to serve the people at home as it was
to serve the dough-boys in the
trenches. And it wants to serve the
girls as' well as the boys. It must
have funds.

will be used as follows:

ning at the Temple theatre and cha
pel, two sections being necessary on

rolled Thursday, bringing the total
registration to 5493 at Ohio state

schedules approved and will be
forced to pay their fees next week.

increase the total enrollment in tne
university to approximately 600".

by the newcomers, which has neces
sitated the postponing of a majority
of the preliminary assignments until

verberate with unrepressed enthusiasm. The cheerleaders are all set to
go. on the old time "U-U-Uni." and expecting to instill some real Ne
braska spirit into the meetings. The atmosphere on the campus has
been fairly saturated with enthusism ever since registration began, and
according to the authorities In ih athletic department, there is absolute
ly no reason why this should not be the most successful season in the
Mftory of Nebraska.
Hundreds of old Cornhuskers many ol whom have been In the serv
ice for more than a year, are back In school, and a something in the air,
live and full of vitality, Is already acting as a source of inspiration to

of the student body of Nebraska. They are to learn what it is to be a
true-hearted Cornhuhker, and are to do their best to live up to the ex
pectations of their Alma Mater.

IT WAS 4 A. M. AT NORTH
WESTERN AND THE
MILKMAN WAS THE
ONLY SPECTATOR
CHICAGO The milkman who
supplies the dormitories of
Northwestern University was
well, interested very early Sat
urday morning when he saw
five co-eds in bathing. The
milkman said they had on
"some Bilk things that looked
like B. V. D.'s."
Friday night the girls de
cided they had worked hard
and deserved recreation. There
are stringent rules at North
western; one must wear proper
bathing suits; one must go in
only with a chaperon; and
above all od must go in only
at proper hours.
It was 4 o'clock Saturday
morning. Five kimono-clad
figures stole down the fire es
cape of Chapin Hall. Then
they raced to the lake.
The milkman watched them
until they saw him. Then they
raced home to the hall.
Mrs. Mary Benson was Kind
to them as they came in the
front door, and didn't tell Dean
Mary Ross Potter.
Nebraska needs "pep." Freshmen
especially, should make an effort to
stand back of the school In all enter
prises. Activities and athletics that
are boosted and backed by svey
single member of the student body
cannot fail! This year the freshmen
are several thousand strong and
they will all be out this morning to
show the upper class-men of what
stuff they are made. They will re
ceive a good sized does of Nebraska
Spirit and will leave the rally with a
feeling that the success of the Uni
versity, in all ways, rests with them.
Football this year must start with
a handicap. The first two games of
the season will be held out of town,
Iowa at Iowa City, Oct. 4, and Min
nesota at Minneapolis on Oct 11.
This means that the team must Dlay
away from the home field and with
out the support of the grandstands
filled to overflowing with cheering
huskers. Since the team has to do
without the actual support of the
rooters, Nebraskans must give uiem
a send-off which they will remember,
one which will make them feel, when
they are out on the strange field,
battling for gain, that back home
every loyal Cornhusker is with them
heart and soul. Such spirit cannot
help but bring victory, say loyal sup
porters of the school. Such spirit is
Nebraska pep. the kind that Is 'u be
instilled into freshmen this morning.
DEAN C. C. ENDBERG

"Older your living ind you will
have plenty of time for study and
recreation" said Dean Engberg in dis
cussinc "Adjustment to College Con
ditions," at the mid week meeting of
the Temple Y. M C. A. last night.
Most of the incompletes of university
life, lie declined, are due to lack of
system in studying and living. Have
a defifiniie time for everything and
you will have plenty of opportunity
for both study and recreation, he as
serted. "Take time to think." he Slid,
"Think over every lesson after you
have studied it and tie sure you have
the prihc'pH-s in mind. Every study
requires two hours preparation."
Dean Ensb-rc ureed that every man
take as his motto Ine words "'True
hearted, whole hearted, faithful and
true." In closing he said thai he
would be glad at any time to havo stu
dents bring him their troubles no
matter wha' they were but to never
make it necessary for him to send lor
them.
