RHODES MAN
IS APPOINTED
RUSSELL PETERS OF OMAHA
CHOSEN BY COMMITTEE.
FORMER CORNELL STUDENT
ONLY THREE UNIVERSITY OF
NEBRASKA GRADUATES APPLIED.
Successful Candidate May Take Any
Specialized Course Covering
Three Years.
Mr. Russell Tetcrs of Omaha, gradu
aie'of Cornell University, was award
ed the Rhodes Scholarship, Septem
ber 25. Mr. Peters is the son of Mr.
and Mrs. A. D. Teters of Omaha, He
graduated from Omaha Central High
School in 1916 and from Cornell last
spring. At Cornell he was very
prominent in Vhletics, particularly
golf, and was editor-in-chief of the
Cornell Daily, which is the Ithica
daily as well as the school paper.
Mr. Teters was chosen from the
seven applicants for the scholarship.
Only three of the applicants were Uni
versity of Nebraska men. The com
mittee in charge of selecting the rep
resentative regrets that there were
not more applicants from the Uni
versity. It believes that there should
be at least twenty-five candidates for
each selection. The Nebraskan hopes
to be able to furnish, in the near fu
ture, detailed information concerning
the requirements for candidates for
the scholarship. The committee feels
that a lock of information prevents
many capable men from entering the
contest
The courses at Oxford are special
ized and any course is open to the
scholar. The work which will cover
three years may lead either to an
A. B. degree or Ph. D. These ad
vanced studies will correspond very
closely to post-graduate work in
American colleges.
The members of the Nebraska com
mittee in charge of selecting Mr.
Peters are Chancellor Avery, Profes
sors Noble, Rice. Lees and Mr. Paul
B. Good. The last three named are
ex-Rhodes men.
Alfred Reese, '20, won the Rhodes
scholarship last year and leaves for
England early in October. At that
time there were a number of Univer
sity of Nebraska men applying for
the scholarship.

work to application of textbook
knowledge gleaned from the course
they are taking.

VARSITY BEATS
FRESHMEN TEAM
Thompson Runs 50 Yards Through
"Frosh" Line Before Being
Downed.
SCORE 15-7 AT END OF SIXTH
PERIOD.
The Cornhusker football season was
inaugurated Saturday when the Var
sity trimmed the Freshmen to the
tune of 15 to 7. This score was
somewhat smaller than was expected
on the part of the Varsity but goes
to prove that the Freshmen have a
strong aggregation.
It will be necessary for the Varsity
to, do some stiff "grinding" this next
week in. preparation for their first
scheduled game with Washburn Col
lege October 2.
Every man on the Varsity and
Freshmen squads had a chance to
show what he could do Saturday.
Both coaches used enough men for
three teams. Most of the play in the
first six periods of the game was in
Freshman territory. Very few for
ward passes were used by the Var
sity. The freshmen had much diffi
culty in making any substantial gains
through the Varsity's line but were
more successful on end runs. The
"Frosh" also completed more for
ward passes than the Varsity.
The Lineup.
The lineup at the beginning of the
game was lined up as follows:
Varsity Pos. Freshmen

The Varsity kicked off to the Fresh
men and after two attempts to gain
through the line, the Freshmen punted
but the kick was blocked and the ball
rolled tack of the line where Lewellen
fell on it for a safety. The ball was
returned to the twenty yard line
where a punt by the first-year men
was blocked and the Varsity re
covered the ball. Hubka then punted
out of bounds on the Freshmen's
throe yard line. Lewellen's punt was
blocked, Dana. Varsity end, recover
ing the ball. Dale then plunged over
for the first touchdown. Weller
kicked goal.
Lewellen kicked off to Hubka, who
returned the ball ten yards. The
ball was rapidly advanced down the
field by Howarth, Hubka, Thompson
and Hartley. Thompson got away
for a fifty yard sprint through a
broken field tut was downed by
Noble. The Freshmen were then
penalized five yards and a pass over
the goal line. Hartley to Howarth,
gave them another touchdown. Moore
failed to kick goal.
The Freshmen 8core.
The Freshmen's touchdown came
when Newman fumbled a punt and
the ball was recovered by one of the

AG" REGISTRATIONS
LESS THAN LAST YEAR
Dean Burnett estimates that ap
proximately 400 men and women have
registered for work in the College of
Agriculture. Up to last Saturday, 218
men and 176 women had registered.
This is a little less than the first
emester last year but about the same
as the second semester.
Registration for the School of Agri
ulture opens October 5. Last year,
50 were enrolled the first semester
and 471 the second. Boys entering
the school must have at least three
months of actual farm experience and
be seventeen years of age while the
girls must be sixteen ;'ears. The
room question will become acute
when the short courses open because
they are scarce and with the addftion
of the School of Agriculture students
vacant room will be a rare com
modity.
Ten O'Clock Classes Prove

Deans of colleges at Nebraska and
advisers of students report that stu

Some of the changes were made,
however, because students wish to

H. O. Werner, secretary of the Ne

It Is planned to establish a central

will market their potatoes through
the central exchange. The local asso

The ten o'clock classes are proving
the most popular, while three o'clocks
and two o'clocks are absolutely
tatooed by students. Nine o'clock
classes are next in line in the number
registered in them. Many students
find that eight o'clock classes are
after all, quite desirable, as the mind
is clearer at that hour than at any
other time. "Go and get it over," is
one explanation they have for the
popularity of first-hour classes.
Faculty members decalre that more
studying is done for ten o'clock

DEDICATION AT

Theobald Smith of Rocke

Speaker.
ANIMAL PATHOLOGY BUILDING
ONE OF FINEST IN COUNTRY.
One of the most modern animal
pathology and hygiene laboratories in
the United States was dedicated at
the University State Farm Friday
afternoon. Dr. Theobald Smith, di
rector of the Department of Animal
Pathology of the Rockefeller Medical
Research Institute, Princeton, N. J.,
was the principle speaker. Short
addresses were delivered by Chancel
lor Avery, Regent E. P. Brown, Dean
E. A Burnett Dean I. S. Cutter, Dr.
L. Van Es, chairman of the Depart
ment of Animal Pathology and
Hygiene, and Dr. S. W. Alford, presi
dent of the Nebraska Veterinary Asso
ciation. The dedication services
were held in the Agricultural Hall
auditorium.
Dr. Smith pointed out the import
ance of the study of animal diseases
in connection with the production of
food. And as the production of food
is becoming a greater problem the
study of animal diseases becomes of
vital importance. Domestic animals
perform a service very necessary to
the sustenance of mankind, and that
is the conversion of nature's abund
ant indigestible roughage into milk,
muscle and fats, that are nutritious
and easily digested. The study of
animal diseases has ceased to be
merely for the benefit of scientific
knowledge but is of tremendous eco
nomic importance as well. The in
creasing demand for food has placed
an increased burden upon the animals
in that they are called upon to fur
nish an increased output of offspring.
eggs, milk, fat and muscular tissue
and wool. Animals must not only
maintain health but must increase
their efficiency. It must use cheaper
grades of feed in place of the feeds
and food now used directly as human
food. This increased pressure upon
the animal must be closely studied.
The pathologist must determine to
what extent animals may be pushed
to yield energy before internal equili
brium is upset and diseases begin.
He must watch changes in food,
whether they contain harmful poison
ous substances or not, and whether
or not they are sufficiently nutritious.
"An ounce of prevention is better
than a pound of cure," according to
scientists, and research work directs
itself towards this point Large, de
structive forces have small begin
nings and therefore it is only in the
beginning that we can stop them.
The object of research work is to get
as close as possible to the beginning
of those natural phenomena we wish
to oppose or destroy.
