Schedule
Fourth Mixing of Cornhuskera
With Catholics Promises
Terrific Concussion
Notre Dame. Ind.. Oct. 11. Notre
Dame will enter one of the biggest
games on its schedule and one of the
most important games of the day
when Head Coach Rackne unloads his
athletes at Lincoln. Nebraska, where
the gold and blue tribe Is carded to
tangle with the Cornhuskers.
Saturday's contest will mark the
fourth meeting of the two big non
conference schools. Nebraska won
the first tilt by a margin or one point.
Notre Dame took the proper end of a
20 to 0 count in the second encounter
and the Huskers went on top of a 7
to 0 score in the last engagement.
Notre. Dame Outweighed
When Coach Rockne's bunch mixes
with the trans-missourl eleven it will
be outweighed Beveral pounds :o the
man. The Huskers have maintained
their reputation of allowing no man
to qualify for the line unless his prox
imity to the stars is six feet and his
avoirdupois is in excess of two hun
dred. Consequently, the gold and blue
men must overcome this handicap
with aggressiveness and speed. These
are the elements of the game which
Coaches Rockne and Dorais are try
ing to pound into their pupils skulls.
The number of cripples accumulat
ing on Cartler field is beginning to re
semble the casualty list of the de
funct German army. Trafton, Smitn
Gipp. Slackford, Miller and Brandy
were unfit for heavy work the past
week, but their injuries are not seri
ous and they are expected to be in
prime shape for the tussle at incoln.
Secret practice will be the program
until the team leaves for the west
Thursday night. The freshmen will
use Nebraskas style of play against
the varsity in the scrimmages next
week.
Out for State Title
The championship of Indiana is tne
titular aspiration of the Notre Dame
eleven. Altho the race for state
honors has hardly begun, the number
of formidable contenders has dwin
dled to the big three, Indiana, Purdue
and Notre Dame. Rockne's men meet
both aeereeations and will have
abundant opportunity to show their
superiority over their neighbors. The
local team is the only one of the ihree
which haskept its slate clean, which
is due perhaps to the fact that it has
not encountered such lively opposi
tion as its rivals. The state univer
sity was humbled by Center col'ege
a week ago and urdue was held to a
standstill by Franklin, an eleven
which has not yet been eliminated
from the state race.
The deciding game of the season
will undoubtedly be the Indian-Notre
Dame clash billed for Indianapolis on
Nov. 1. Both institutions are making
arrangements to transport a godly
portion of their student bodies to the
scene of the batle. Enthtusiasm over
this contest is expected to run hJa,hT
on the Notre Dame campus than the
annual clash with the West Point ca
dets scheduled for the following Sat
urday. State Journal.

COMMERCIAL CLUB
SMOKER A SUCCESS
Good Fellowship, Good Talks,
and Good Eats at Stag
Friday
The University Commercial Club
held its first smoker of the year Fri
day evening in the rooms of the Lin
coln Commercial Club. It was an
event to which every student regis
tered in the College of Business Ad
ministration was invited, and the
large number present spoke for a big
year for the commercial organization
During the earlier part of the eve
ning many were kept busy at various
card games. A meeting of a general
nature followed, during which mere
were several speeches, both from
members of the faculty and from older
members of the club. Dean LeUos
signol of the College of Business Ad
ministration had a number of exceed
ingly interesting remarks concerning
his work in New York City during the
past summer. Professor Kirschman
followed with the suggestion of the
value to be obtained, both to Individ
ual students and to commercial mat
ters in general, of organizations cor-.
nected with commerce. A numbf oi
returned members who had been In
France for the past two years were
heard from also, and an invitation
was extended to all students in the
College of Business Administration to
take out membership in the club. Sec
ond invitations were unnecessary.
A social time followed, with cider
and doughnuts served as refresh
ments. The predominant feature of
the whole evening was the very-appa
ent feeling of good-fellowship. With
the influx of younger members the
organization Is planning a great jcr
in the way of instructive and enjoy
able get-togethers.
EMINENT SPEAKER
FOR CONVOCATION
Mr. J. Stitt Wilson Will Address
Students Three Days
This Week
In An Authority of International
Importance on Social and
Labor Problems v
Mr. J. Stitt Wilson, nn eminent au
ihority of international prominence
on social and labor problems, will
address the students of the university
at eleven o'clock on Monday, Tues
day, and Wednesday mornings of miss
week.
Mr. Wilson is a graduate of Noun
western University and has studied
extensively in England. He is better
known there than In America, having
spoken quite widely on industrial con
ditions in England and Europe.
While yet a freshman at North
western University he was impressed
with the idea that our institutions of
higher learning should be training
men for leadership in industrial
fields. He had the timidity at that
time to make this suggestion to the
president of the university. Receiving
little encouragement he planned his
life so that he could give a maximum
amount of time to the study of tins
problem. He was twenty-five years
'in advance of his day, for today he is
looked upon as being an oustanding
authority on the solution of our present-day
labor problems which are so
pressing Just now. By many he is
considered to be a prophet for this
hour.
Mr. Wilson has attracted large at
tention among students m the western
and southern colleges, and the stu
dents of Nebraska University are
fortunate in having an opportunity ot
hearing him. Great pressure has
been exerted by prominent men in
the country to have him cancel his
engagement with the University of
Nebraska and follow Senator Johnson
in California on the subject of the
League of Nations. This Berves to In
dicate the caliber of the man.
'Constructive Christian Democracy
of the World' will be his general sub
ject for discussion. At eleven o'clock
Tuesday he will speak on "The War
and Democracy." At a special con
vocation Wednesday his subject will
be "The Very Soul of Democracy."
Thursday he will speak on "Supreme
Virtue of Democracy."
Nebraska University students are. as
a whole, interested deeply In world
wide problems, and it will be well
worth while for as many as possible
to attend these convocations.
SPECIAL WIRE FROM
STATE CONFERENCE
York. Nebr.. Oct. 12. To all
Nebraska Students: J. Stitt
Wilson, beyond all expectations.
Rets students with powerful pre
sentation of world - problems
nnd their challenge to Ameri
can colleges. Nebraska students
should hear him speak Monday,
Wednesday and Thursday.

gation. Chris. Chrlstenson.
OVER 1500 AT
ALL Um PARTY
First All-University Affair of
Year Has Record-Breaking
Attendance
Fifteen hundred students crowded
the Armory Saturday evening at the
first all-university part of the year.
It was undoubtedly the largest num
ber of cornhuskers that ever at
tended any university social func
tion. Fairly early in the evening
the crowd began to swarm into the
building, and before long those in
charge began to wonder where room
would ever be found for so many
But it was accomplished somehow,
and a rip-roaring good time was un
animously declared by the lime
eleven thirty came around and the
affair was over.
As each student entered, he was
tagged according to his or her class
in school. The former custom of
here leaving each one to get ac
quainted with others or not, as suited
the individual was dropped, and in
stead each one was assigned to a
group under the leadership of one of
ten deans. Before long he thus made
the acquaintence of most members
of his group, and those of a more re
tiring disposition were made to feel
more at east than has sometimes
been the case in the past.
Early in the evening a program
was held, which many claimed to be
one of the most enjoyable things of
the evening. There were the ot
lowing numbers:
. Jig Russell Baiiey.
Quartet.
Dance (Gypsy Phantasia) Flavia
Waters.
Boxing contest.
Following, the program dancing
was the chief feature. An eight
piece orchestra furnished music, and
soon hundreds of gracefully whirl
ing couples were gliding around the
big room. In past years dancing has
been 'somewhat crowded because of
the large attendance, but Satuiday
evening so many were on the floor
that it was well-nigh impossible to
even move, at times. It Is hoped
that additional space can be secured
for dancing at the next affair of this
kind.
Refreshments were served during
the later part of the evening, hun
dreds of pies and several barrels of
cider disappearing within a few
minutes.
The biggest kind of a suess, was
the general opinion of the first all
university party of this year, and
when the crowd left it was with the
hope that another affair of similar
nature would soon be In season.
INSTRUCTORS NEEDED IN
ECONOMICS CLASSES
Altho the Bocial science building is
large enough to accommodate the ov
erflow registration in the classes in
economics and other commercial sub
jects, the sections are still much too
large to be handled efficiently by one
Instructor. There are over 500 stu
dents both in Economics 1 and 3 and
the eight sections of one and six of
the other are very crowded. The
same conditions are true of the class
es in accounting.
Professor Minnie T. England h3
resigned as professor of general econ
omics and money and banking, and
the college is looking for a new pro
fessor to teach these subjects. Mrs.
England's future plana bare not de
finitely been made known.
Official registration figures from the
college of business' administration r.cd
course in economics will be ready for
publication this week-
SCARLET AND CREAM GRIDIRON YEARNINGS
SOAR WHEN
PROFESSOR BARKER
TELLS OF BURMUDA
Conducted Zoological Research
During the Past Summer
on the Islands
Professor Barker of the Zoologv de
partment spent six weeks in the Ber
muda Islands this summer. While
there, he was occupied In research
work at the Bermuda Biological sta
tion. This station is maintained by
Harvard university. Professor Barker
went under a grant given by the Na
tional Academy of Science. There
were four Harvard men, and a woman
from University of Iowa, at the sta
tion during the time he was there.
His work was a continuation of
the work which he began in 1913. His
research involved the study of the
parasites of the Bermuda fish of
which there are over two hundred
kinds. He was able to bring back a
large amount of material which will
be studied within the next two or
three years. The results of this in
vestigation wil be published by
Harvard university.
Show Effects of War
The Bermuda Islands are English
possessions and during the war sent a
large number of both black and white
troops to the front. The professor
says that the islands still show the
effects of the war. The passenger and
freight ships were all used in war serv
ice. Since they are dependent upon
the United States and Canada for a
great part of their food supply, they
were forced to fit out an old English
cruiser and use it as a freight vessel.
Professor Barker spoke of the cli
mate as being very delightful. The
thermometer rarely registered over
eighty-seven degrees. As the islands
are situated 650 miles from the cent!
nent, there is always a breeze. Some
times these become hurricanes and do
serious damage as they ruin the ban
ana trees and often tear the crops out
of the ground.
Export Lilies and Onions
The famous Bermuda lilies and on
ions form a large part of their exports,
but potatoes are also raised in large
quantities. When Professor Barker
left the Bermudas, the potatoes were
just being planted. These mature in
January and are shipped to New York
and are put on the market immediate
ly.
The rainy season comes in Octobi
and November. During this time.
enough rain falls to furnish a year's
supply. Strange to say, there are no
wells. The people catch the water
from the roofs during the rainy sea
son and store it away for use through
the rest of the year.
Before long, when Professor Barker
has had time to classify his material,
he will give more information about
the trip.
DEAN LE ROSSIGNOL
ON BULLETIN BOARDS
In regard o the proposed system ot
uniform bulletin boards at the univer
eity Dean Le Rossignol makes the fol
lowing statement: "I don't know that
I am exactly in favor of such a sys
tem. Students like variety, and trauy
of them would never stop at the buue
tin board if it were all In black and
white. Why shouldn't the Art Club,
the Dramatic Club, and other organi
zations of similar nature be allowed
to exhibit their attractive poster on
the sohool bulletin boards, to an
nounce coming school functions?
Surely these posters are attractive
and are read by the majority of the
students on the campus. How many
would look at them If they were :"ere
ly announcements In black and
white?"

LINCOLN HIGH WINS
FROM NORFOLK 21-0
Local Lads Trounce Athletes
From Elkhorn Valley in
Exciting Game
The football teams from Lincoln
High School and Norfolk High School
mixed on the university athletitc field
Friday afternoon, the local athletes
coming out of the fray at the long end
of a 21-0 score. The line bucking and
tackle smashes of the Lincoln back
field was a feature, Mockett breaking
through time after time for twenty to
thirty yard gains.
During the first half Winters and
Schram of the Norfolk aggregation
worked the forward pass almost at
will, executing a number af aerial
plays that reminded many university
students present of the last few min
utes of the Syracuse game two years
ago. In the second half, however, the
local lads succeeded in breaking up
attempts at passing.
The game was an interesting one
from several standpoints. It showed
a sample of the excellent material
that is to be available for Cornhusker
squads witnm tne next few years
and although still early In the season
the two teams each showed smooth
running machines, going through tair
ly complicated plays with the precise
ness of veteran college men. The loot
ing from the backers of the local team
was well organized, and suggested
that it might be a good thing for uni
versity students to take a few lessons
for some coming strenuous games.

(Special to the Nebraskan)
Northrop Field. Minnesota, Oct. 11.
Playing at times with brilliant
flashes of form in the game with
Minnesota today, the Cornhusker
football team evened the Gophers'
early lead in the final quarter and
tied the score 6 to 6. Sohellenberg.
sent in during the last period, made
Nebraska's score after Minnesota had
held the lead since the second qumter
when Haertel crossed the Nebipska
goal line. Hoth sides failed to kick
goal.
Ten thousand people packed the
stands to see the Gophers outplayed
by Nebraska and saved from defeat
only by the Huskers' failure to kick
an eas goal. A handful of Nebraska
looters ocupied a section in the
center of the grandstand. The Uni
versity band of thirty pieces vied
with the Minnesota ban1 in a concert
before the game and paraded oa the
field between the halves.
The work of the Nebraska learn
was the feature of the thrilling grid
iron contest. McGlason threw a
scare into Minnesota rooters wuen
he made a 47-yard return of Ruben's'
opening kick-off. Nebraska kept the
ball and with a series of briiiiant
drives and passes ran the ball to
Minnesota's 11-yard line. Here a
faumble gave the oval to the Gophers
and they began an offensive which
did not stop until their ground-gaining
machine had pushed the pigskin
over the goal line in the second
period.
Schellenberg is Praised
Minnesota fans tonight are credit
ing Elmer Schellenberg with their
failure to score a victory over Ne
braska. The speedy Nebraska Half
went into the game in the third
quarter and within five minutes had
broken away with a 28-yard .run
which netted a touchdown and tied
the score.
Nebraska's forward passing was of
a high order. Three successful at
tempts netted a gain of 38 yards and
others, perfectly thrown, would have
been good for long gains had they ndt
been fumbled at the receiving end.
Minnesota failed to complete a pass
out of six attempts.
Nebraska advanced the ball a total
of 257 yards from scrimmage while
Minnesota gained 220 yards. Statis
tics credit the Cornhuskers with
thirteen first downs and show that
the Gophers made twelve. In re
turning the ball from punts and kick
offs, Nebraska travelled 83 yards as
compared with 42 yards for Minne
sota. Penalties Cost Heavily
Nebraska was heavily penalized,
suffering setbacks aggregating sev
enty yards while Minnesota escaped
without a loss. At one time during
the game, the Gophers averted detec
tion for an offense when Right tnd
Kellogg was held in the cluthes of a
Minnesota player while the halfback
slipped around right end for an eight
yard gain.
The game was replete with thrills.
McGlasson's quick return of punts.
Captain Dobson's right end dash for
thirty-seven yards in the second per
iod and Schellenberg's darzling sprint
to a touchdown added to the Huskers
dashing offensive. Eight . of the
eleven forward passes attempted
were incomplete when they failed to
connect at the receiving end.
The team which faced Minnesota
was an entrely different aggregal.on
than the one which met defeat at the
hands of Iowa a week ago. A wee s
an effectiveness
which enabled the line to bold tbe
terrific Gopher onslaught and a. ui
Mine time establish inie'-
which shot the backs ahead for con-
istent gnlns.
