Louis ville Courier-Journal. . Father Of Husker Captain Has Been Faithful Football Fan George Dobson, Almost as Well Known on Campus as Son, Misses No Games Followers of the gridiron game at Nebraska the past four years have learned to know the towering figure of George DobBon, father of the 1918 captain, who has been perhaps the most con slstant football enthusiast in all of Nebraska's long list of alumnt Since the days in the fall of 1915 when the present captain was play ing on the freshman team, Mr. Pod son has missed scarcely a game that Nebraska has played, on ' the home Held or in the enemy's territory. Compared to bis father, Captain Paul Dobson still looks like a small boy and it might be difficult to decide which one is more often seen on tne field, in the gymnasium or at the games. Mr. Dobsoon was a student back in the days when football was a much rougher game than It is now, played then and has never l03t his enthusiasm for ' the greatest of col lege sports. Every member of the teams for the past five years has known Mr. Dobson personally and be has known them all by their first names. They have come to look as certainly for him at the games In other states as they' do at the home Raines. BASKETBALL NOTICE All freshmen who have ap plied for suits meet Monday at twelve o'clock In the athletic office. P. J. SCHISSLER. MEMBERS OF QUARTET FURNISH NUMBERS AT GAMES AND PARTIES The University Quartet this ear has been faithfully on the Job. They have furnished numbers between the halves at the football games and at the university party. They will sing at the Cornhusker banquet. The qunr tet is made up of experienced men. all of whom play Instruments. Two have been on Chautauqua circuits, one was on the Orpheum, and one was in the quartet last year. The members are: Paul Porschee, Floyd Painter, D Parsell and C. Banson Samuelson. The university quartet was started in Nebraska university thirty-three years ago. Some of the great Ameri can singers of today are on its toll of members. ! Frank Farmer, Colo rados leading concert singer former ly belonged to the quartet. The 3rst quartet, composed of David Reavis, Anson Blgelow, Harry Reese and F. D. Sharmon, was organized in 1886 and lasted until 1890. In 1890 a new quartet, called the 'Delian quartet was started until 1890. It gave concerts in connection with the Delian society In the old chapel In University hall and later, under the name of the "Telyn Quartet," gave concerts over Nebras ka. This quartet was composed of R. O. Williams. Charles Alexander, J. P. Williams and J. C. Porterfleld. FORMER STUDENT MAKES TABLET HONORING REESE Mrs. Elizabeth Tuttle Holsman, a former student of tho university, now resident of Chicago, is making a bronze memorial tablet in honor of the late Judge M. B. Reese who was dean of the law school from 1894 to 1904. She writes the alumni office that she has worked with great con centration and trusts that the tablet is about completed. It was recently viewed by Dean Reese's daughter, Mrs. C. W. Sanford who found the tablet very satisfactory. The memorial will be the gift of the students of Dean Reese .while he served the university. Missed Only One Game Away back in 1916 when Dobbie was playing his first year on the var sity and none too sure himself that he might get to play in the Oregon Aggie game, Mr. Dobson decided that he would not sacrifice business long enough to accompany the team on that long trip. He has always re gretted that he did not make the trip, for his son played almost the entire game and one of the best games of his life. As it was, Mr. Dobson, who lived then at Ulysses, kept the tele phones hot from there to Lincoln lor reports of the contest Later Mr. Dobson moved to Lin coln, retiring from active business and since then he has not only fol lowed all the games but all the prac tices and the interest of all the play ers. When Paul Dobson at the Great Lakes training s'tation played with that team against Illinois. Mr. Dob son was on hand to see the game. Yet with all his Interest has been by no means entirely selfish, by no means bound up only in his captain son. He is a lover of the greatest college bport and as faithful an alumnus as the school has and the future will probab ly S9e him almost as well known on the campus as has the past, even though today he will watch Debbie play his last game of college football. RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP FUND WELL STARTED Endowment of $10,000 in Mem ory of Dr. Harry Kirk Wolfe The university has started its first research fellowship fund of $100,000. It is to be in memory of Dr. Harry Kirk Wolfe who formerly was head of the department of philosophy. . ' Last spring through the initiative of tho Palladian Literary society, of which Dr. H. K. Wolfe was an active member, a suitable memorial was planned by the society members in consultation with the faculty. A re search fellowship, to be called the Harry Kirk Wolfe Research Fellow ship in Philosophy was decided upon as the most expressive memorial which the University of Nebraska could ' dedicate to its great teacher and student companion. Such a felowship will not only be a memorial to the great work which Dr. Wolfe founded and was personally in terested in, but also to his interest in students and their careers. ""If Dr. Wolfe could help a student to success in the future, he was the happier for it. Probably no teacher in the univer sity had more personal relationships with the men and women whom he had trained than did Dr. Wolfe. He was the first teacher of philosophy at the University of Nebraska, and was especially Interested in psycholo gy. He was the founder of the De partment of Philosophy at the Univer sity. A greater number who came un der his influences will always remem ber and love him. The University of Nebraska has had as one of its greatest needs the establishment of research, fellowships for the higher work which it does. Such fellowships mean for a universi ty a greater Interest, not merely in the art of teaching, but In the science of investigation, upon which the art of teaching rests. Even without the formal request which was sent out from the members of the graduate council to the chan cellor encouraging contributions for the fellowship, a considerable amount has. been raised toward the $10,000 which is necessary to endow such a fund. The ; Palladian society itself has pledged to raise $3,000 of the to tal amount which is needed. Several contributions of $50 and $100 have been received from alumni who were interested in the movement. It is believed that many who have received the benefit of the universi ty's training, and who, pertiaps baa the privilege to sit under the instruc tion of Dr. Wolfe, will be glad to have the opportunity to pass these benefits on. SCHOLARSHIP AWARDS ARE MADE TO GIRLS Three of Those Averaging Over 95 Per Cent Given Special Distinction Three co-eds', Esther Allen.

Miss Louise Pound who made the scholarship announcements stated that Helen Norris had an average of 98 per cent, but was ineligible for the sophomore prize because she had been the winner for the year before. This was also true of Frances Strei bek for the Junior prize, who had a similar average. The custom of awarding the schol arship badges is an annual one. These Pan-Hellenic prizes are open to competition by all women in the uni versity, in the freshman, sophomore and junior classes.

It is this line on the Cornhusker sched ule that adds weight and prestige throughout the nation to Nebraska athlettlC8. The cream of eastern schools, Syracuse come o Lin :om to battle the Huskt-.s. This Is tho second i,ne Nebraska I B.i clinhw! wl:li the upper strata of eastern football.

Good clean football was displayed throughout the game. The Sigma Chi showed a superior brand of foot ball, and outplayed their opponents throughout the contest Sigma Chi won the toss, and chose to kiclj cff. The first half ended with neither side able to score. The game was fast and both sides were on their toes from start to finish. The score came in the last quarter, when Sigma Chi recovered a fumble, which netted them a touchdown. Goal was kicked and the score stood, 7 to 0. Provost James T. Lees Is 1919 PROVOST JAMES T. LEES Provost James T. Lees, for the past thirty-one years with the university. i in chrM of the 1919-20 athletic program. Although thia la a bi task.1 (" l . :' ; " ''f I i i I v - ! t -; .-.. .aj - five stalwart defi-mlert of the OrancH in 1917. are no longer n.'mben of O'Neill's squad but tholr glares r ably filled by Gullck. Arkley. Abbott. Fallon, and Erwig. O'Neill U brlu,l-,K to Lincoln the greatest Orange tU v-n of all tie. The Ilusken are clashing with one of the stromal gridiron ag gregations that ever performt-d oc an American field. And what about the Nebraska te-m Have the Cornhuskers a ghost of a chance against the formidable array of Easterners? These are ques Ion that can be settled only by actual tect and the true answer will not be known until the final whlHtle has blown this afternoon. It is tru tnat the per formance of Schulte's team In the ear ly part of the season was not encour aging. Losing to Iowa, Notre Dame, and then Ames, prospects were any thing but bright Cornhusker fans asked themselves, "What will Syra cuse do to us?" and the answer was shrouded in the deepest gloom. But, suddenly the Huskers rallied, emerged from the exasperating slump and slapped the Tigers in the face with a 12-5 victory. Not content with this display of fight, they returned to Lincoln, and a week later played the powerful Jayhawkers off their feet, winning 19-7. Joy once more reigned in the camp of the Cornhusker. The team was not hopeless, the coach was not rotten, the entire schedule was not lost. "If we can only beat Syra cuse," said Nebraska students, "the season may well be called a successful one." It is a terribly big "If," there is nc doubt, but the Huskers have not lost hope and believe they can hold the Easterners at bay. If the utcome of the game at Indiana Saturday was a fair comparison of the Hooslers and the Orange, then Nebraska has more than an even chance to defeat the New Yorkers. But Syracuse adherents are claiming that the Indiana game did not do justice to the New York team. Graduate Manager Smith, who is in charge of the Syracuse party, says, "The Syracuse players feel they should have defeated Indiana by a margin of thirty or forty points." Whether they should or not, it is most certain that the Orange gridders are still "smarting from the defeat by the lowly Hooslers and will meet the Huskers with the determination that the return home must find them with at least one victory to their credit. The Syracuse team is adept at both straight and open football. It was the smashing backs that defeateJ Colgate while in other games the O-ange at tack has consisted of a wonderful aer ial game. But clever passes that worked against the best teams of the East, failed against Indiana and It Is sincerely hoped that dismal failure will be the result when tby are un corked today, bchulle belief s he has the team at he zenith of lis fighting power and is teady to line hi men up against the Orangem. Athletic Director Provost Lees' work of caring for the six hundred faculty members lfl the biggest thing and athletics only a sideline. Th irnnA of physical exercise said Provost Lees, "comes from the .umi rivoirv in the sport." He feels that a spirit of rivalry Is good nnd cited, as an example, we i" only five of the sixty to seventy-five men on the varsity football squad are down in their studies. A new. well-equipped gymnasium with adequate facilities is the ambi n f Prnvnii T.oes. and when such equipment Is available he thinks hun dreds will be participating y branch of sport where there are only dozens now. Eventually he hopes every na woman in the university will be ac tive in some line of sport and a start is being made this year, with tbe Inter-college basketbalL . He wants a team in every college, in each frater nity, and class and have them vie with each other for university su nnmier. Thm iichool is proud to have, as director of athletics, a man with such a broad vision. r i j J :
