TRAINING NOW
FOR MINNESOTA
A Stronger, Wiser Husker Squad
Will ace uopners at

Boy Cameron No Longer
Freshman Coaching Staff
Secret Practice
On
The varsity has lost no time in
getting set toward Minnesota. Few
alibis are being offered for the defeat
at Iowa but Coach Schulte and the
squad are grinding determinedly into
the Job of eliminating the weak
Bpots. It will be a wiBer and more
formidable team that faces the
Gophers Saturday than It was against
the Hawkeyes.
Tkco who saw the Huskers In
I liupv
action at Iowa City are not slow In
saying that they believe the present
has the "stuff. Iowa
y n i w
looked like It would be a mighty con
tender for honors In the Big Ten
Accord in to reports of
the game and Huskers don't feel so
oownhearted over being defeated by
such a team. The general feeling
spenis to be: "Look out Notre Dame,
K. U. and Syracuse when the Bquad
cf'.a its stride."
Three regulars were missing trom
the practice Monday afternoon. Wade
Munn, Schellenberg, and Lyman were
numbered among the absent. Lyman
om nut on the field in suit but
went in almost immediately. Lyman
received a sprain in tfce first few
mn.i'i.i of nla Sa!.iuOy Jt liaid
nothing of it and kept on playing.
"Schelly" is resting up and will prob'
ably be in time for the Gophers.
Freshmen Score on Varsity
The freshmen must have thought
that because the Hawks cleaned up
on the varsity that they could do it
also. No matter what they thought,
the first stringers were treated 10 a
stiff tussle. Varsity line bucks were
smothered time after time and the
pigskin handed to the yearlings. The
favorite stunt was to let the freshmen
take the ball on the ten yard line and
keep battering until a touchdown
was registered. Sometimes it took
ten downs to get it over and once
in a while the first crack was suffi
cient. The line plunging of Hoye and
Perry and the work of several other
freshmen was notable.
Roy Cameron, who has been labor
Jng with John Rlddell on the fresh
man coaching staff has shed the re
galia and wil! ot be urging his fresh
men to eat up some certain big stiff
in the varsity lineup. John will siay
on the Job. Ed Kositsky, a former
varsity man, was out on the field in
suit giving the boys a few pointers.
When the varsity got to pounding the
freshmen too hard, "Kositz" got into
the green lineup and demonstrated
how to hold two or three men at
once.
The first scrimmage of the after
noon was between first and second
varsity squads. The first squad lined
up at first as follows:
L. E. Swanson
L. T. Wilder
L. G. Young
C. Day J
H. G. Munn
R. T. Hubka, Wray, Bogue
R. E. Kellogg
L. H. Howarth
Q. B. McGlasson
R. H. Dobson
P. B. Dale, Hubka
Before the scrimmage with the
freshmen
candidate
was over, every varsity
got a chance to get into
action.
Practice, as usual, was held behind
closed gates.
A new electrical refrigerator has a
cooling tank designed to fit the ice
chamber of any standard refrlgcntor,
with motor compressor and condenser
to be placed out of the way in the
basement below. The expansion of
sulphur dioxide produces the cool
ing and for ordinary refrigeration
running the -34 hp. motor six to eight
hours daily is stated to be sufficient
Small blocks of ice may be made for
table use.

How Would You Like to be a
Where Rigid Rules Govern Con
duct of Frst Year Men
and All Must
Obey
Nebraska freshmen might well com
plain if they were forced to obey the
strict rules which are laid down for
first year men at Northwestern Uni
versity. The Missouri Miner takes
note of it and the Nebraskan repio
duces it without comment.
' "The rules and regulations which
will guide the little pink feet of
freshmen at Northwestern University
for one year unless the sophomore
rules committee Is entirely mistaken
were posted yesterday on the
campus and throughout Evanston in
all their drastic completeness.
The placards read as follows:
"SCUMS. (ATTENTION."
"Whereas the class of 1922 feels
morally obligated to aid and instruct
the class of 1923 In all matters Tor
one year, the following rules are to
be carefully followed:
"1. Wear a green cap.
"2.
"3.
"4.
"5.
Salute all sophomore.

RECORD SALE OF
STUDEIir TICKETS
Over
Twice as Many Student
Tickets Purchased as
Ever Before
With three-fourths of the south
side seats sold on Nebraska field
the football season of 1919 Is ex
peeled to exceed that of any prev
lous year from the standpoint of
financial returns and attendance
More than twice as many student
tickets have been purchased this
year than at any time bof e. This
Is due partly to the greatly Increassd
enrollment at the university after
unsettled war conditions, and partly
to an Impetus given by new Corn
husker spirit being displayed by
the horde of first year students.
Over 1700 student tickets had
been sold up to Monday afternoon
th e student activities office reports
These tickets admit students to the
south side sections, and university
men and women must get there ear
lv to be assured of a seat. These
seats will be strictly a "student root
ing section" and the fact that all
university students will be together
will assure the success of the new
Nebraska chant when it makes Its
formal debut at the Notre Dame
game a week from Saturday. Only
those who buy student season tick
ets will be admitted to the south side
section.
Altho it is a little early yet to es
timate the number of tickets pur
chased by Lincoln business men the
number will equal. It not surpass
that of any other year. Already a
large number of reservations are be
Ing telephoned to the student activi
ties office bv Lincoln boosters. The
sale of student tickets closed Fri
day. October 3rd.
The University Union Society en
tertained a large crowd of new nd
old students at their open meeting
Friday evening. The program by the
members included a piano duet by
Hazel Beckweth and Beatrice Schen-
ek, a number of impromptu speeches
and an Orpheum skit by Alfred Hinze
and Charles McMillan. All university
students are Invited to the next meet
ing, Friday, October 10. An especitl
ly good program and social hour are
being planned.
Freshman at Northwestern
"7. Wear short pants to all classes
"8. Use no tobacco.
"9. Provide self with handker
chief and use same.
"10. Refrain from childish prac
lice of eating Jawbreakers after 7
o'clock at night.
"Until these rules have been com
plied with lor one year, the class of
1923 will retain its its lowly status
as scums of the earth.
"Rules Committee, Class of 1922."
The Missouri Miner says: It has
been said that hazing publicity if a
thing of the past everywhere, except
at Rolla; however, from the above
article it would seem that the so
called hazing here is a mere pink
tea for the entertainment of the uu
rivaled, all-highest class of 1923,
whose advent into the school of
Mines has so far been heralded only
by the threat of a slap on the wrist.
Has the day come when a fresh
man ,a man who has been in the
school only a few weeks, can carry
himself like a sophomore, talk with
the familiarity of a junfor, and wear
the senior's needed shave? Heaven
f orbit; but with hazing abolished,
"the brightest days of the school
year, "the days of real sport," are
gone, and with them the power to
keep the freshman class where it De
longs. October 1919

York Friday.
MODERN KLU KLUX
KLAN WILL DETECT
STUDENT SPEEDER3
Hereafter It will be "Watch your
sneed" for all university stutents
who drive their own cars and aro In
the habit of violating the city apeed
regulations In their hurry to r.each
classes.
At a meeting of the Lincoln Auto
mobile club last Saturday, a commit
tee of fifty was organized for the
purpose of watching and reporting
traffic violations. The Identity of
these men will be unknown; they
will go by number; and only the sec
retary of the club and the chief of
police will know who they are. Mean
while they will do their work In
secret and the number of each car
guilty of misbehavior on the streets
will be set down on the police
blotter. Recurrent offenses will draw
heavy lines.
University students especially will
be watched, say the police.. They
will not be arrested at first but their
car numbers will be taken. In the
case of out-of-town students whose
parents allow them to keep cars at
school, nny undue speeding wijl cause
father to be notified that his son or
daughter is burning up Lincoln pave
ments as well as gasoline.
But this Is merely a wvning. No
one wants to lose the use of a per
fectlv eood automobile for such a
little offense.
EXHIBIT OF PICTURES
BY FORMER NEBRASKAN
Paintings and Drawings by
Dwight Kirsch, '19, in
Art Hall
An exhibition of the paintings of
Dwight Kirsch is now being held in
Art Hall. Mr. Kirsch, who graduated
in 1919 from the University of Ne
braska is well known by a large num
ber of students and his sketches are
familiar to every one. Mr. Kirsch was
Art Editor of both the Cornhusker
and Awgwan for several years and is
at present a member of the Art Stu
dents League of New York City.
The exhibition, which is a large one,
consists largely of work done this
past summer in Colorado and Wyom
ing. Watercolor, oil and crayons have
been used to make these very inter
esting and colorful sketches of trees,
mountains and lakes. He has given
very Interesting interpretations of the
characteristic and highly different
scenery of the mountains and plains.
Mr. Kirsch worked with extreme
rapidity so that he might catch the
brick impressions of the clouds and
the peculiar light effects. Often his
pictures were painted under more
than ordinary difficulties. One water
color was painted at the snow line.
During this long climb all equipment
war, discarded. When his destination
was finally reached snow and ice had
to be melted before the water colors
could be mixed.
MILITARY DEPARTMENT
TO BE DIVIDED TODAY
Today is the date scheduled for
the division of the R. O. T. C. into
its different branches: the field artil
lery, motor transport and Infantry.
Plans for the development of each
branch are being formulated at the
commandants' quarters. Keen compe
tition is expected between the differ
ent sections for the honors in drills.
Majors, captains, lieutenants and ser
geants from the regulars arc busy
rounding their material Into phape
that they may be In a place to make
selection this evening for temporary
officers in the cadet body.
Due to the war and the changes
which the return of old students will
necessitate, the department has been
unable to obtain accurate data on the
militarv exnerience and ability of
the men in the milit ry department.
The recent drills hav enabled them
to eliminate the poorer material and
their choice of leaders now lies in the
results of the "finals" at this eve
nings' drill. A number of men w
were commissioned In the army are
assisting the department with the ted
lous task of the first steps In drill
These men are of great assistance to
the department and their thorough
knowledge is a great aid to the be
ginner.
It la nrobable that an advanced
course will be given starting this sera
ester. Former cadet who have had
the necessary two year work and
who have registered in the R, O. T. C.
will be In line for reserve commis
sions in the army at the expiration of
their college course providing they
pa the requirement Imposed by the
government.

With two class offices uncontested.
the election today promises to be one
of little excitement. Two co-eds have
won i he p.esiututieb oi their classes
by default. They iire Carol vn Ri
who becomes senior president, and
Dorothy Wolfe, who will head the
sophomores. It U the first time that
a university woman has ever suc
ceeded in winning political honors
without a fight.
Competition in the other two
classes has narrowed down to three
candidates apiece. Here the race will
no doubt be exeiiing. All aspirants
for class honurs are conceded to
have almost equal chances and all
have been about equally prominent
in school activities.
Rivalry in the election at this time
has been further allayed by postpon
ing the election of members of the
student publication board until the
second semester. This action cuts
down the ballot from seven to four
openings.
A hot race is looked for in the
junior class where Clarence Swan
son, John Pickett and Harold Porter
field are contending for the high
honors. All of them have strong
backing and with their supporters
working hard for them, a heavy
junior vote will probably be polled.
Swanson has won fame as an end
on the football team, tie nas Deen
active in student activities and was
elected to both Iron Sphinx and Vik
ings. He is a member of Sigma
Alpha Epsilon. Pickett won his
letter in basketball and has been
actively interested in other forms of
athletics. He is a Sigma Phi Ep
silon. Porterfield returned to school
this fall after an absence of wo
years In the service. He is regis
tered in the law college and holds a
position in the office of the execu
tive dean. Porterfield is a member
of the Delta Chi fraternity. All three
of the men are fighting hard for the
office.
In the freshman class, Robert Gil
bert, Turner Tefft and Wendell Bech
tell are contesting for the presidency.
Tefft comes Irom Lincoln, Gilbert,
rom Omaha, and Bechtell. from
Princeton. All were active in mgu
school affairs, their records spo.
and have made many fri-nds among
the members of the first year class.
The polls will be at the Armory
i the university campus and at a
place to be designated on the farm
campus. The Australian ballot fjs
tem will be used. Students may vote
at any time between nine and twelve
o'clock and between two and five
o'clock in the afternoon.
