Coach Owens Patching Up
Sooner Team for Husker
Battle
The fighting Huskers romped around
the gymnasium last night In abbrevi
ated basket ball costumes. Outside,
the sun refused to shine and the rain
poured down in great showers. The
athletic field was In no condition for
football practice. But nevertheless
the men lacked none of the Corn
husker Are. Though the weather man
is seemingly against us. Nebraska
students are confident that Notre
Dame will be vanquished In the com
ing battle.
All of Coach Schulte's warriors
were present at this indoor practice.
The work consisted mainly of a stiff
signal drill in which all the men of
the Varsity squad were used. A care
ful analysis was made of anticipated
Notre Dame plays and formations.
Reports from South Bend indicate
that Notre Dame is confident of a vic
tory in the Nebraska clash. They
boast the greatest backfleld in the
country and it will truly require just
such a backfleld to take the measure
of the Husker aggregation. The Cath
olics' particular shining light is one Mr
Bergman who has played with three
Notre Dame teams. Bergman is
puted to have worlds of speed and fire
but Nebraska fans are willing
math our own Dobson or Shelly
Against the South Bend phenom.
Soontr Patching Up
Coach Benny Owens is hard at work
trvtne to reassemble the Sooner team
after the sound licking administered
by the Howard Kendall outfit in last
Saturday's game. Oklahoma was
trounced by the convincing score of
27 to . This was a great surprise to
the Oklahoma school, and is very en
couraging to Nebraska fans. We now
look forward to the Oklahoma game
at Omaha the 25th with unfailing con
fidence.
Our chief worry at present is this

WALTER BLU '19 SENDS
LETTER FROM HARVARD
Former Innocent Writes Pro
fessor Martin of Work in
Eastern College
Professor O. R. Martin, professor oi
advanced accounting and business or
ganization at the university has re
ceived the following interesting letter
from Walter C. Blunk, "19, who is a
tending Harvard this year:
"In the two weeks that I have been
attending classes here at Harvard,
have been able to get an idea of the
work they offer here, and to make
comparisons with that of the co'lege
of business at Nebraska.
"Fulk. HooDer and myself are all
registered for three first year sub
Jects: commercial contracts, market
ing and principles of accounting; and
two second year subjects: industrial
accounting, and accounting problems
They permitted us to take these ad
vanced courses on the strength of our
work at Nebraska. As far as we can
see, these latter two studies are the
only ones that will . make us work
very much. The first year subjects
are very much like those given in the
college of business administration at
Nebraska. The other two are much
like your cost and advanced account
ing only that they are taken up a lit
tle more In detail. In problems we
are taking auditing with Montgom
ery's text as a basis. I am really dis
appointed in marketing as Cherrlngioa
is no longer with the school and Pro
fessor Copeland does not seem to be
able to deliver the real essence of the
field, at least as I know what could be
in the course, from the courses 1 soor
under you. Schaub in contracts is
very good, altho he is covering many
of the same cases we had In business
law. Cole in accounting is good. He
is rather elderly and apparently o.
considerable experience. He is a.lno a
very interesting instructor, but I
think he expected a little too much of
the beginners In accounting. He
Dent one 'day on debits and credits
and by the second week was deep in
to notes and interest. The poor fel
lows who have never had any book
keeping are Just simply at sea and
can't see how they will ever get out.

PAGANISM IS
NOT YET DEAD
J. Stitt Wilson Puts Large Re
sponsibility on University
Students
Last of Series of Addresses
Tonigh in Memorial
Hall
"Nothing in the shape of force can
save America, and If all we have In
America today to meet the troubles
of the world is a policeman'? club
then we are gone," declared J. Stitt
Wilson In a masterly address at con
vocation Wednesday In Memorial
hall. "And I stand hero as a college
student and say to you if there is
any power of God, any goodness of
the human heart, that alone can save
the world."
Mr. Wilson struck at tu root, of
what he termed "paganism in Amer
ica." He defl -td paganl'iii as "that
which lses hum in b.lnp as the menna
with which to obtain an end for pri
vate gain." "Paganism," he stated
"disregarded human life, disrespected
human rights, treated humanity wl'li
contempt, and loaded it with oppres
sion and paganism did uoi end in
the year one." The speaker la?d tne
greatest part of the responsibility of
saving the world from "even a great
er tragedy" on the younger and uni
versity element of the country. "It
was men between twenty-one snd
thirty-one that saved the world from
outocracy, and it rests with you in
the universities of the land to hold
civilization intact."
Refers to Roman Period
Tracing the centuries of history
since the coming of Christ, the speak
er cited the successive contempt with
which ruling classes of .all nations
have ree-nrded human life. He
painted a vivid picture of the mass
acre of slaves and prisoners of wsr in
the Roman forum; of the death of
martyrs and thousands of innocents
in the Dark Ages: finally coming to
the present day when the fury of a
mob takes human life at our very
door.

ENGINEERS HEAR
PROMINENT ALUMNI
James B. Harvey Speaks on
Characteristics That Lead
to Success
In spite of the unfavorable weather,
the turnout for the Engineer's meet
ing last night was one of the largest
the society has yet seen. The E. E.'s
had charge of the meeting and after
the reading of the minutes of the last
meeting, chairman Acton called upon
James (B. Harvey, '09, vice-president
of the Continental Gas and Electric
Company, to speak on "Characteris
tics which ead to Success in Public
Utility work.:'
Mr. Harvey, who was prominent in
the university at one time, playing
left guard on the football team, open
ed with a discussion of the success oi
graduate Nebraska men in the en
eineering world, and mentioned a
number of names which are promi
nent In various engineering activi
ties, many of whom were college
clasmates of his back in '08 and '09.
Mr. Harvey stated that the man who
succeeded in public utility work needs
ability to influence his employees to
co-operation, to keep the high stand
ard of production and public service.
He must be able to handle com
plaints courteously and Justly, with
out making it a matter of routine
and thereby arousihg the ire of the
patron. He must "make it snappy.
Mr. Harvey then gave several brief
instances from his own personal ex
perience, where he needed to be as
shifty and tactful as a football coach
running a big team through a stiff
schedule. He said that the man who
has been knocked out should make a
strong comeback Just as happened

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18,
CLASS REUNION
OF LINCOLN HIGH
THANKSGIVING DAY
For the first time in several years.
Lincoln high school Is to be the scene
of a class reunion. The date for the
event is set at the day before Thanks
giving. November 26. and the class Is
that of 1917. The entire program for
the day will take place in the high
school. The first thing which has been
planned is to give a program In as
sembly in the morning, although
definite arangements have not been
made as yet. Then there will be a
banquet In the cafeteria at 6.30 with
tbasts following. The next thing on
the program is dancing in the high
school library.
The class plans to arrange the tables
at the banquet in a "17" as on the
day three years ago when they held
their banquet on the senior color day.
Nearly the entire program is arranged
as on that color day. The class of '17
is the one which originated the cus
tom of senior color day and was also
the first class to take part in the
student council.
Addresses of practically all members
of the class have been secured and
corrected and the letters of Invitation
will be sent out In the near future. It
is expected that between 100 and 150
will attend the reunion. Miss Proctor
and Miss Sprung were the sponsors of
the class.
COLLEGE OF BUSINESS

Dean LeRossignol Gives Record
of Enrollment for Six
Year Period
Official and accurate registration
figures from the college of business ad
ministration, and department of econ
omics and commerce at the university
have been announced by Dean Le
Rossignol. The following table shows
the number of students and graduates
during the past five years in the school
of commerce and college of business
administration. The remarkable gain
In the number of students after de
mobilization was finished, will graph
ically show that the war was a mighty
factor in the decreased enrollment at
the universities and colleges:

These two sets of figures are not
comparable as the former gives the
number of students registered in the
entire colege of business administra
tion, and in former years in the school
of commerce, and the latter repre
sents the registration by semester in
all economic and commercial subjects.
A student frequently registers for
several courses in a given semester.
The department of economics and
commerce has students who arc not
registered in the college of business
administration. The increase In the
number of students taking economics
and general commercial subjects from
630 during 1918-1919 to 2065 in 1919
1920 shows that nearly all the men
have returned to school after a year
or more of service In the army or
navy.

ROOSEVELT MEMORIAL
DRIVE OPENS NEXT WEEK
A nation wide drive for a HooBevelt
monument will start next Monday and
last throughout the week. Voluntary
offering will be the bases of the sub
scription.
The purpose of this drive Is to
build a monument at Washington,
D. C. in memory of Theodore Roose
velt, and to preserve his estate at
Oyster Bay, New Jersey. A separate
drive will be conducted at the Uni
versity under the direction of Pro
tessor C. W. Taylor. Many small
pledges will be preferred rather than
a few large ones.
Through an error In the Wednes
day Issue of The Nebraskan, the
name of H. Stewart McDonald was
ommitted from the list of men elect
ed by the University of Nebraska
committee as candidates for the
Rhodes scholarship from the state.
McDonald was one of the five men
selected by the committee from
twelve applicants. The final selec
tlon of two scholars from the entire
state is to be made on November 1.
UNIVERSITY BAUD
WELL ORGANIZED
Will Be On Hand Saturday to
Spur Huskers to
Victory
The campus was brought to the leal-
ization that the university had a real
band when Tuesday evening at the five
o'clock drill period the entire organiza
tion turned out and gave one of the
best exhibits yet seen at the universi
ty. The necessity of a well drilled
band was brought to the eyes of tne
leaders while visiting other institu
tions during the fal foot ball games. In
view of the Notre Dame game this
coming Saturday the department cen
tered its efforts on giving the foot oall
men one of the best backings it ever
had. With a seventy-five piece band
on the side lines Nebraska's men will
Col. Morrison who is deeply interest
go forth to battle Saturday afternoon,
ed in the band spoke with a great deal
of enthusiasm in its behalf when in
terviewed yesterday. "Our band out
clases either of the bands which I have
seen at the other universities while
watching the foot-ball games this sea
son," he remarked. Other men oi au
thority who attended the Iowa and
Minnesota games agree heart and oul
with the colonel. It is the command
ant's hope to develope the best or
ganization of its kind ever established
at the school.
In addition to the seventy-five piece
band at the city campus there are
over forty applications on file foi ad
mission to the band at the College of
Agriculture. A number of others will
probably place applications before the
organization is formed. The men reg
istered for band are subject to military
discipline and are given drill forma
tions in connection with their work.
Over one hundred applications were
filed for admission to the university
band and only after a thorough iryoul
were the best men retained.
The band has received a great deal
of practice during its short period of
organization. The foot ball rally, uni
versity party, two foot ball games,
steady drill and regular practice three
times a week have rounded the boys
into fine shape for the coming events.
A number have been selected for each
of the invasions into other universi
ties on the foot balT excursions. It
is the intention to send the band on
each trip and the school can feel as
sured that this organization will do
credit to both itself and the university.

Schulte's Fighting Demons Will
Be Filled With the Super
Fight Rally for Notre-Dame Battle
Will Make Catholics' Hair
Curl With Fear
With burning torchlights blazing,
and wild yells for Nebraska and mat
she will do Saturday on a sawduHl
covered gridiron, thousands of uni
versity students will flame forth
from the armory Friday night ana
parade the streets of Lincoln. At this
time the largest football rally of the
school year will call every student
to the "scarlet and the cream" for a
few hours' period of lung-testing.
The meeting will be Bhort and
"3eppy." Impromptu speches and
rousing yells will constitute the pio
gram. Profesor R. D. Scott's new
chant which he gave to Nebraska for
a new victory-yell to compete with
the famous "Rock chalk" of Kansas
and to vanquish it, will be tried out
again to see if memborial hall is cap
able of holding up under the strain
of such continuous reverberation. All
the newly elected cheer leaders for
Nebraska will be out in full force, and
perhaps wil be able to "show up" the
jid-timers" who may have to get on
and practice a little before the yell
fest Friday. j
Dr. Maxey of the college of law,
and O. J. Fee, '06, will present -ep"
talks to the students. Coach Scr"lte
and Captain Dobson will give words
of cheer to the team and those sup
porting its efforts. Then will come
a spirited few minutes of real yelling
of the yells Nebraskans know so
well.
With the university band leading,
a serpentine parade will march from
the armory after the last chant has
echoed through the halls. Down R
street to 16th, the parade will go;
then up O to 9th and up to P street
on 9th. Torchlights will be aval; ible
and every person at the rally will
not have the true spirit unless he
waves this lighted symbol of Nebras
ka confidence as he marches down O
street Friday night. The torchlights
will consist of long poles with a can
on the end, containing a wick satur
ated with oil. Their yellow glare
will be visible for blocks and the
shouting will be heard for miles, if
the enthusiasm now shown is an in
dication of that to be displayed Fri
day. Every university girl is ex
pected to afend the rally and ir.a:ch
in the parade when if forms in front
of the armory tnimedi;itely aftr the
inside meeilnr Sorority presidents
are urged to brine this m&iur up be
fore their chapter? and ask all the
girls to attend in a body. What s
university parade withot;? the ' iir
ones somewhere on the line of
march?, ? miserable failure.
Friday Closed Night
Friday nipht is a closed night and
there will be no excuse for any true
Cornhusker if he or she does not
show up ready to yell with more
"pep" than same individual exerts
when he attends a "hop."
The parade will stop and the multi
tude of students will congregate in
front ot the incoln Hotel, where the
members of the Notre Dame team
will be waiting for them on the out
side balcony. A rousing greeting of
welcome will be extended to the Cath
olics after which Coach Harper and
the Notre Dame captain will respond
with short talks.
This will mark the end of the raily.
but only the beginning of a fierce
fr.r the morrow, when Ne
braska will wish the "gentlemen
from Indiana" a good share of luck,
but "tain't no use," to use the words
of that popular comedian. Al Jolson.
