PEACE DELEGATE
SPEAKS THURSDAY
Prof. G. B. Noble Addresses Socio
Economics Club Will Talk on '
Versailles Conference.
Prof. G. B. Noble, who had charge
of the French Current Political Intel
ligence section of the peace confer
ence at Versailles, will speak on
some topic pertaining to the peace
conference at an open meeting of the
Socio-Economics Club in Social
Science 105 at 7 o'clock Thursday
evening.
This will be the first open meeting
cf the Socio-Economics Club this year.
The meetings are informal and group
discussion follows the speech. It was
for the purpose of giving students an
opportunity to meet and discuss cur
rent problems that the club was
organized. The speaker of the eve
ning leads the discussion. All stu
dents are invited to attend.
Professor Noble's work at the peace
conference was to read French news-'
papers and prepare a daily summary
and estimate of what the French
press printed about the peace confer
ence. He made this report to the
American commissioners to keep
them informed in regard to French
public opinion.

State. Farm Aggies
Get Stiff Workout
The State Farm Aggies encountered
some stiff practice last Wednesday
when Coach Proctor lined them up
against the second team. The first
team pushed the substitutes down the
field for several touchdowns and held
them for downs when put on the de
fensive. The Aggies anticipate a dif
ficult game next Friday when they
meet Universtiy Place at University
Place. The Methodists have a strong
aggregation this year. They succeed
ed in winning over Lincoln High by a
score of 15-16 the very first game or
the season.
The Aggies have a heavy line but
whether or not they will be able to
stop the fleet-footed University Place
backfield is problematical. Their
main difficulty Is that only three men
of last year's team are in the lineup
and the rest are inexperienced some
of them playing their very first game
of football next Friday. Coach Proc
tor announced Wednesday that no
definite team has been picked.
R. O. T. C. Says "More
Music With Our Drill"
Members of the University R. O.
C. unit made an interesting ap
pearance Tuesday afternoon on the
new drill field when they did
squa Is right" and "to the rear
march" with the aid of the Cadet
band. The embryo soldiers looked as
though they were taking part in a
miniature review.
Although the surface of the drill
field was not quite smooth and the
soldiers had to kick a "clod" of dirt
out of the way here, and a stone,
there, the music kept their spirits
high. "The drill hour went three
times as fast with music," were the
enthusiastic words of a Sophomore
yesterday.
"Music with our drills is what we
want now" he continued. "Tues
day's treat spoiled us, and I'm afraid
our feet will refuse to move now
without the familiar strains of "Na
tional Emblem" to urge us on. It
seems more military with the music
and there are not many men at Ne
braska who can listen to an American
i arch without at least marking time.
What we want now Is 'more music
with our drills.'"
Every Awgwan Cartoon Has
"A Meaning All Its Own"
No longer should Freshmen weep
bitter tears because of homesickness
or of the incomprehensible amoeba
and protoplasms. Upperclassmen
should discard their worried frowns
and forget psychology, for the Oc
tober Awgwans are out! Nebraska's
peppy comic magazine is a sure cure
for any kind, of blues.
What a wealth of fun and humor
lies ' between its yellow and blue
covers only the regular subscriber
can know. Every line, every cartoon,
"has a meaning all its own," and even

JACKSON, O., Oct 20. Senator

Farmers Warned of Price Drop.
WASHINGTON, Oct 20. Secretary
of Treasury Houston asked the bank

Its gay-colored covers calls forth an
inevitable smile. One looks with In
terest at the broad grin of a student
with a huge pile of books under his
arm and a new Awgwan on top. He
is thinking perhaps, of the new "You
tell 'em" he has just read, or he
recognized a joke on one of his
friends.
If there is someone who thinks
that he has had more than his share
of blues today, let him forget his
studies, buy a chocolate soda and
drown his sorrows in the Awgwan.
DICK RUTHERFORD
Former Husker Star Training Agri
culture College Team Scouts
Whitman-Washington Game.
University graduates have a habit
of breaking into print all over the
country, especially the Cornhuskers
who were famous in athletic circles in
the University. Dick Rutherford,
former Husker all around athlete is
new in the limelight as the coach of
the Oregon Agricultural College.
Rutherford was a former football star
at the University of Nebraska in '13,
'14 and '15. He was on the famous
team that walloped Minnesota, 7 to 0
and was the running mate of the
famous Guy Chamberlain. Some au
thorities give Rutherford the distinc
tion of being Nebraska's greatest
all around athlete. After Rutherford
had graduated from Nebraska he was
employed as assistant coach at Wash
ington University, St. Louis. He re
mained there for a few years, then
went out west, where he is now
coaching.
The following article was received
at the Daily Nebraskan office a few
days ago from one of the Seattle
papers:
"When Whitman College and the
University of Washington football
teams played Saturday, a keen-eyed
young man from Corvallis, Ore.,
watched every movement of the
Washington players. He was Head
Coach R. B. Rutherford of the Oregon
Aggies, who came up to find out what
kind of a game the University played,
so that he might have some advance
knowledge on how to conduct his
offensive and defensive when the
Aggies play here October 23, which
will be the first big game on the
O. A. C. schedule.
"Rutherford was the great halfback
of the University of Nebraska's
famous team of 1913, which earned a
right to share with Chicago, Notre
Dame and the Michigan Aggies the
disputed championship of the Middle
Western states. Its important vie
tory that year was a 7 to 0 defeat
of Minnesota, on which Loren Solon,
now assistant coach of the University
of Washington team, played end. Ne-
braska also beat Iowa that year, 13
to 0.
Knows Western Coaches.
"While Rutherford is new to Pacific
Coast football, he is not a stranger
to some of its coaches. Besides
knowing Solon, he played against
Bierman, now coach at Montana and
Rosenthal, assistant coach at Call
fornia. who, like Solon, hail from
Minnesota.
" 'I hear that Washington has a
great football team,' said Rutherford,
before seeing the Sun Dodgers in
action. 'They tell me Allison has

Oil Production Increase.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 20. Petroleum
production in Mexico will Increase
three-fold as compared with last
year's production. It has also been
stated that the vegetable oil Industry,
the hardwood industry and the sugar
industry will have a great future in
Mexico.
Three Means Which Thwart
Proh'bitlon.
NEW YORK, Oct 20. Three means
which are thwarting prohibition are:
procuring of bonded whisky from
government warehouses and its sale;
moonshinlng and the changing of
labels; and smuggling whisky.
AEROPLANE CARRIES
NOTRE DAME IVIES
Shipped By Air to Catch East-Bound
Mail Plane at Omaha or
Chicago.
Motion pictures of the Notre Dame
game could not have leen developed,
printed and put in shape for showing
at New York theaters in sufficient
time had it not been for the fact that
they could be shipped by airplane.
Arrangements were made with the
postmaster at Omaha to catch the
airplane mail either at Omaha or Chi
cago, depending on the schedule.
v Films showing the 11,000 cheering
spectators at the Saturday struggle
will be shown at all Broadway moving
picture theaters in New York City as
soon as the pictures arrive on the
fast mail plane. These films will be
used as an advertising feature for the
Nebraska-Rutgers game which will be
played at the Polo Grounds in New
York, November 2. They may also
help to advertise the game with Penn
State College at State College, Penn
sylvania, November 6, because many
grid enthusiasts will attend that game
from the United States metropolis.
The principal plays, the swarming
crowds, the Nebraska cheer leaders in
action, the cadet band, the South
Omaha delegation, the cheering
stands, the daring end runs and the
mock marriage of Notre Dame and
"defeat" will all be shown in the pic
tures which were shipped to New
York: It is possible that these same
films Will be exhibited at Lincoln
theaters in a short time.

the lecture series, stated that similar
lectures, handled in an interesting
non-technical manner for tne public
and students generally, will be given
in Chemistry Hall at 5 p. m. every

lecture Friday. The lectures had a
large attendance last year and are
therefore opened to the public again
this fall.
English Women Stop
Betting on Love, But
Wager All on Horses
LONDON. English women have
quit gambling on love, to put their
hopes on the gee-gees. Astouding
numbers of women have placed large
bets with commission agents during
the 1920 racing season and these bets
come from extraordinary sources. A
well-known bookmaker told the United
Press that most of the large bets
placed with him by women have been
from those residing in quiet country
villages.
"I think they are Beeking some kind
of excitement to lessen the tedium or
country life," he said. "Many of them
have taken It op only recently. They
don't profess to know anything about
horses form, pedigree, jockeys and
all those things which the male
gambler studies assidioujly mean
lees than nothing to women.
SCHULTE'S III
TRY H PUB
Huskers Driven at Break-Neck Speed
for Coming Battle With
South Dakota.
Pucelik Works Out
Varsity Runs Signals and Scrimmage
With Freshmen Squad Schissler
Laid Up in Bed.
Nebraska's Cornhuskers were put
through another stiff workout last
night in preparation for the South
Dakota Coyotes Saturday. Coach
Schulte is driving the men at race
horse speed every night in order that
as many new plays and formations as
possible may be mastered before the
trip east. Every one is looking for
ward to the game with Rutgers and
Penn State in the next few weeks
an I is not giving as much thought to
the South Dakota game as might be.
That the Coyotes are out after Ne
braska's scalp is evident from the re
ports that are being received here.
Coach Schulte is of the opinion that
Saturday's game will be one of the
hardest fought battles on far Husker
calendar this season.
Pucelik reported for work last night
and is fast rounding into his old time
form. Hubka has not as yet donned
his suit but is expected out soon.
The entire Husker squad is in pretty
fair shape except for a few minor
bruises with the exceptions of these
two men. Last Saturday's defeat at
the hands of Notre Dame has injected
a new fighting spirit into the men
and Husker followers are sure to re
ceive a demonstration of the old time
fighting spirit in Saturday's game.
This will be the first game these two
teams have participated in for six
y ears. The last battle was a tie and
Coach Schulte is bent on having his
proteges give the Coyotes one of the
worst beatings ever administered a
visiting team at Nebraska. Coach
Schulte is anxious to have the fol
lowers of the Huskers see for them
se'ves what Nebraska can Co against
a team that would be a match for
ti;h-?r Rutgers or Penn State.
Scrimmage With Freshmen,
'lhe practice last evening was de
voted entirely to running signals and
scrimmaging against the Freshman
squad. The Freshmen are worthy
foes of the Varsity and give the older
men a real battle every night. Assist
ant Coach Schissler, who has been
directing the Frosh all season, is con
fined to his bed and reported quite
sick. Since there has been secret
practice every night this week just
what kind of an attack Coach Schulte
is going to have his warriors launch
against the Coyotes cannot be deter
mined. VERMILLION, S. D., Oct. 20
