BEAT MISSOURI
Nebraska must somehow rally in a last determined effort to
win al football game, and the engagement with Missouri at Columbia
next Saturday will be a good time to begin. The record so tar this
season has not been an impressive one. The Huskers have tied
two games and lost three to their opponents. Undoubtedly there
is something wrong, but what it is and where it is may better be
left to more expert diagnosis.
Our chief concern just now is to win a game. The defeats so
far have been bitter ones to take. Two of them were especially so
because they were games we felt confident of winning. And there
are two immediately ahead of us that we felt equally confident of
winning at the start of the season but which now loom up before us
as imminently dangerous.
.Fortunately the season has not been without its freaks. Ne
braska has not played consistently poor football and herein lies the
hope that there may be a revival of the team's best form. The kind
of football the Huskers played against Minnesota and Notre Dame
will bring victory. Whatever we do, we must win from Missouri.
NEBRASKA AND THE CONFERENCE
The article from University Provost James T. Lees which ap
pears on the first page of the Daily Nebraskan today is a straight
forward statement in reference to Nebraska's attitude in withdraw
ing from the Missouri Valley conference and her future policy in re
gard to relations with conference teams. It is an attempt to clarify
the existing situation in which Nebraska's fair name has been at
tacked by wanton insinuations that she is not living up to the con
ference eligibility rules.
The situation has apparently arisen over the action of the Kan
sas University athletic board in severing relations with Nebraska.
At the time the action was taken, it was charged that because Ne
braska had withdrawn from the Missouri Valley conference and was
thereby released from conference requirements as to eligibility
rules, Bhe had actually cast aside all conference standards. From
the statements of Kansas authorities, it becomes evident that a
gross injustice was done to the Cornhuskers. The allegations from
the Kansas board were wholly without foundation and it appears
that Kansas, taking advantage of Nebraska's withdrawal from the
conference, undertook to deliberately boycott the Huskers.
Further dispatches from the Kansas institution attempted to
pass the buck down to other sources. One of Ihem says," Break
ing off of athletic relations between Kansas and Nebraska came
this week as the result of a telegram from E. W. Stanton, Ames
Athletic council, received by Kansas sport authorities, saying the
Aggies had decided to sever all relations."
A communication to the Daily Nebraskan from sports writers at
Ames denies that such a statement originated at Iowa State College
and discounts the rumor that Ames is about to drop athletic rela
tions with the Huskers. The Ames student body and athletic de
partment is on the friendliest terms with Nebraska, it was stated,
and would not consider favorably any breach between the two
schools.
The Oklahoma Daily, student paper at the University of Okla
homa, breaks into print with the following statement from an un
authorized press dispatch which savors of Kansas origin inasmuch
as it deals almost entirely with the severance of athletic relations
with Nebraska and the reasons given by the Jayhawk institution.
"Nebraska was kicked out of the conference late in the
summer when the football schedule was being made up and
Valley coaches considered the plea for a game with the
Sooners at Omaha merely as a pretext used by the Husker3
in an attempt to get into the Big Nine. Four applications
from Nebraska for Riff Nine membership have been re
jected. It is said.
"Precedent for the action of Kansas and Ames, was
found in the case of Michigan who withdrew from the Big
Ten several years ago and was the victim of a conference
boycott."
The publication of such articles is unjust and unfair to Ne
braska. The first paragraph quoted above indicates utter ignorance.
The second intimates that a wanton and malicious form of propa
ganda Is being spread by certain valley schools In an effort to boy
cott the Cornhuskers.
It is to be regretted that Missouri Valley schools should demean
themselves to publish such misstatements about Nebraska. As
leaders In Valley football, the Huskers have always maintained the
friendliest relations with all conference competitors. The student
bodies of these schools have openly expressed their dissatisfaction
over discontinuing relations with the Huskers. Students of the
University of Nebraska must condemn the actions of narrow-minded
athletic boards who have seen fit to impose a ban upon games with
Cornhusker teams. By their actions, they have violated the p;U.
clples of sportsmanship, using as a pretext Nebraska's withdrawal
from the conference
It to not necess.it to repeat the icafons for Nebraska's with
drawal The statement by Dr. Leen f pe Jfically explains them.
Needless to say. the int.'. university Is soiluiy behin.1 him wher ho

Amea. the Missouri backera rose
from their aeata to a man. uncovered
their heads and sang the college field
song until both teams were in the
gymnasium.
Compare this with the following
made at our last game here when
Immediately after the final whistle
was brown, everyone In the stands
made a dash for the exits. Aiuny
even started to leave before the game
was over.
Misourl students show their tes-j
pect for their team by their actions
on the field. Have we not as much
respect for our football team as Mis
souri or any other school? We are
Droud of the men that represent us
on the gridiron and would tako or-
fence at any remark to the contrary.
We should show this at games and to
morrow the opportunity will be pres
ent. Show them respect.

To the Editor ot Student Opinin:
There has been much said in op
position to the proposed ruling ior
biuuing attendance at mid-week danc
es. It might be well to look at tlie
points in favor of it.
In the first place, the voters over
the state are dissatisfied with tlie at
tendance of the university students
toward social doings. While I believe
in respecting the claims of personal
liberty, I also think that the people of
Nebraska who make it possible for
us to be here, must have their wishes
find mature judgments respected.
The matter of expense must be
considered. It costs enough to have
week-end recreation. But the boys
see everyone going to the mid-weea
dances, and they say, "Why shouldn't
I go also?" If we can make 'he
"Joneses" cut down on their expen
diiures, "keeping up with ihe 'Jones
t-s' is not so great a strain."
When we look at the rules of othei
huge universities and collegeb we
are surprised at the laxness of ouv
rulings. Surely all these fine schools
have a reason for making and enforc
ing such rules. We cannot but admit
that we don't feel so wide awake. 'he
morning alter a dance as we do other
mornings. If we want to enjoy oui
freedom to the greatest degree, we
should not have too much freedom.
When everything is considered it
t-eenis best for the health, scl'ool
work, and pocket books of the stu
dents that attendance at mid-week
parties be prohibited. And we have
never heard of anyone dying because
.e was barred from sot going to a
Wednesday night dance.
An Interested Student.
NOT IN HIS LINE
Despite the fact that everybody in
and out of the universities agree that
one finds among them a most admir
able attitude of good humor toward
the situation, while awaiting the In
creases which the endowment fund
drives are to bring. One professor
of the classics bore well with an un
intentional test of his fcood humor,
one day this summer, when, seeking
to eke out his income, he went into
the headquarters of an organization
devoted to work for boys, and In
quired If he might write one of the
booklets on vocations which, he Had
heard, the organization was prepar
ing. He was told that no booklet re
mained to be assigned exept that on
plumbing, which he might write if
he felt qualified. The professor smil
ed cherfully as he shook his head,
and remarked: "If I knew anything
rbout plumbing, do you think I would
be teaching Greek?" Christian Sci

COLLEGE WOMEN
There's a new and
interesting collection
of
Navy Serge
and
Tricoiine Frocks
at $24.75 and $3475
Dresses which are so styled that they are appropriate for
all-day wear, he it for the campus, an afternoon occasion or an
informal dinner engagement.
They have just been taken out of their New York wrap
pings so consequently they embody new turns of fa-shion, evi
denced particularly in their trimmings. One coat dress has a
vsst, embroidered of course, but this time in the gayest of colors.
Another frock chooses to be embroidered and braided at the
same time and the result is most effective.
A great many of these new dresses are in slim, straight
lined styles, with bloused models and coat styles to lend the
spice of variety.
Sizes from 16 to 42 with an especially
good selection in sizes 16 and 18.
