When Team Battles in Annual
Classic.
NOTRE DAME. Ind.. Oct, 13.
Coach Rockne worked his men at a
blinding pace behind closed gates
today. He donned a headgear himself
and demonstrated how the heavy Ne
braska backs will crash Into the
Notre Dame line. The Cornhuskers
carry a superiority In weight that will
be hard to offset Twenty-two men
will be taken to Lincoln. The per
sonnel has not been decided, that de
pending In a large degree on the
showing of the candidates In to
morrow's scrimmage against the
Freshmen. Rockne Is worried over
the condition of Grant substitute
quarterback, who has been slow in
rounding into form.
Injury Jinx Hits Hard.
When Nebraska faces Notre Dame
Saturday she will be without the
services of a number of men who
have made up the back bone of the
Cornhusker machine so far this sea
son. Coach Schulte has been forced
to change his plans a great deal for
this reason. Hubka, the main ground
gainer for the Huskers' against Wash
burn and the Colorado Aggies Is out
of the game for the time being due
to injuries. Nothing definite can be
announced as yet whether "Hub" will
have a chance to battle Notre Dame
or not McGlasson is out of the game
Indefinitely on account of a broken
shoulder. Howarth and Dana are
suffering from injuries sustained In
practice but will probably be in the
lineup Saturday. Newman, Young,
Wenke, Moore and Rogers are out
on account of minor injuries but It
is hoped they will be able to partici
pate Saturday.
With this number of men on the
hospital list Nebraska's stock in the
game Saturday dropped about 50 per
cent Very little can be learned
definitely as to Just what Coach
Schulte has up his sleeve for Satur
day but there is one thing certala,
the fighting spirit that has In the
past dominated the Husker. warriors
will not be missing Saturday.
That Notre Dame is expecting the
hardest fight of the year can be seen
from the reports that are given out
Coach Rockne and his men will
arrive in Lincoln Friday morning and
will take a light workout on Husker
soil in the afternoon.
From Rockne Camp.
NOTRE DAME. Ind., Oct 12.
Notre Dame and Nebraska will clash
at Lincoln next Saturday in what
promises to be one of the most bitter
ly fought contests of the season.
It took all of the power of Coach
Uockne's champion 1919 eleven to de
feat the Cornhuskers and the west
erners are said to be stronger than
ever this autumn. Rockne Is hopeful,
but is making no prediction of vic
tory in the 1920 engagement Next
to the Army, Notre Dame fears Ne
braska more than any team on its
schedule.
Season's Big Test
The Jam with Nebraska will be the
first test of the season for Notre

NO INDIVIDUAL SCRAPS.
There are to be no scraps be
tween individuals or groups
representing the Freshmen and
Sophomore classes before Satur
day, the day of the Olympics.
Drastio measures will be taken

contestants or Individuals cf
either class. The Olympics
were Instituted to do away with
hazing and class scraps which
used to be the custom at the
University In days gone by.
Such customs are not to be
revived this year. The fight
between the Freshmen and
Sophomores must be confined
to Saturday's Olympics Is the
definite stand taken by the
executive dean.

EIGHT BED AT
STUDENT BANQUET
Large Number Attend Gathering
Given Under Auspices of the
Committee of Two Hundred.
"This is the largest thing of its
kind which I have ever come across,
and it promises to become one of the
traditions in the University," said
Dean Buck yesterday in speaking of
the banquet given under the auspices
of the Committee of Two Hundred,
Tuesday evening, October 12, in the
banquet room of the Scottish Rite
Temple. Eight hundred students and
faculty were present.

the work that the committee was
doing to promote true Nebraska
spirit Dean P. M. Buck spoke of
"The Three Reverences," which are
reverence for one's self, reverence
for one's fellows and reverence for
trie power of God, which three fac

education. He said, "I would extend
the force of these gatherings until
they impress and penetrate the whole
student body."
Stone Discusses Christianity.
Dr. John Timothy Stone, who was
the principal speaker of the evening,
spoke of Christianity as an inward
condition, not a philosophy nor a
theory to be academically debated or
toyed with. He argued that our re
ligious instincts must be given a fair
chance and contended that to teach
Christ one must know Christ.
He said that for training in Chris
tianity the Bible is the textbook and
he regretted the gross ignorance of
many with regard to the Bible. He
said a certain group of college stu
dents ranked 15 per cent on six test
questions from the Bible and 75 per
cent in six questions upon Shake
speare. He spoke of the reporter
who covered one of the trips of the
late President Roosevelt The re
porter carried a Bible and concord
ance so that he might accurately re
port the ex-president in his addresses.
Must Have Positive Character.
The speaker said regarding the
cluitacter of the Individual, "The man
or posit. ve character woh sturdily
A'fMitis for what he believes to be
light will be in the minoiity. but the
world is ultimately ruled by such
minorities.
