ADDRESS
COMMERCE CLUB TODAY
LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1920.
Features of "Yearly Shuck"
Cried by Venerable Newsboys
"Faculty on strike! Mob attempts
to raze U Hall! Big sensation of the
year! Red 'Cross called upon to
succor starving families of the strik
ers," shouted the newsboy, Chancel
lor Samuel Avery. "Dr. Coiidra
makes trip to Mars," roared Frank
Woods In an attempt to drown the
voices of the other newsboys. They
were C. M. Sklles, 92, Dr. Ira At
kinson, '91, Charles Warner) '99, and
G. E. Hager, '98. All were selling
the big Novcmbor 2 edition of "The
Yearly Shuck" to the two hundred
seventy-five people at the First An
nual Frolic of the Lincoln Alumni
Club in the Chamber of Commerce
building.
Hardly had the shout3 that fol
lowed the distribution of "The Yearly
Shuck" subsided when Guy E. Reed
announced the latest election results.
Prof. Harry E. Bradford led the ban
queters in a chorus of rousing songs.
Again and again the echoes of "Far
Away" rang through the hall.
Squawkers and serpentine were dis
tributed and mog violence reined.
Bald-headed professors daringly took
revenge on their worst enemies by
lassoing them in the most spectacular
manner. The room , became a sea ot
seething humanity and serpentine
from which arose the confused shriek
ing of a Bingvllle carnival. Civilized
DIRECTORY SALES WILL
BREAK FORMER RECORDS
Sixteen Hundred Sold in Two Days
Today Is Last Chance to
Purchase.
The campaign fpr the sale of stu
dent directories continued in full force
Wednesday, with the result that near
ly sixteen hundred books were sold
to students during the first two days
of the drive. This record exceeds the
mark set last year by a considerable
margin, according to John Buriey,
editor of the 1920-21 pamphlet.
Because only a limited number of
copies of the directory were printed
this year, the publishers announce
that the sale of the books will close
on the campus today. Pamphlets
may be secured until 3 o'clock this
afternoon at University hall, Social
Science hall, the College Book Store
in t he west entrance to the Armory,
and at the Aggie Book Store on the
Farm campus.
The reason for the printing of only
a limited number of directories can
br- explained by the fact that the price
of print paper, materials and work
manship, is more than that of any
other yoar, and prices are increasing.
The price of the directory is fifty
ents and because It is a valuable
land-book to refer to when inforina
ion about students, faculty members,
fraternities and sororities, organlza-
ions and student activities is desired,
ents are advised to purchase the
('mining copies at once.
The now directory made its d.'-bn.
r-omowhat earlier than the 191H -19?(
pamphlet, which was ronJy for dis
tribution November 24.
NEWS OF
Bryan Predicted Defeat.
LINCOLN. Before leaving t his city
Wm. J. Bryan in an interview stated
that a democratic defeat was inevit
able and the blame is easily placed.
Th president laid the foundations for
the disaster and Governor Cox com
pleted the structure. The president
attempted to drive out of public life
every democrat who dared to differ
from him even in minute details, while
he made no effort to strengthen the
democrats who made him the keeper
of their conscience. Governor Cox,
instead of repairing the injury done
by the president, aggravated the situa
tion by the manner, in which he
avoided domestic issues and misrepre
sented the position of the republican
party on the league issue which he
declared to be paramount.
Cox Sends Congratluations.
DAYTON, O. Governor James M.
Cox today formally conceded defeat
by sending a message of congratula
tion to Senator Warrn G. Harding.
The message read: I"n the spirit
of AmHea I accept the decirion cf
the majority, tender as the defeated
candidate . my congratulations, and
conduct was restored only at the
intervals when Mm. Reed announcer
election returns.
When the results of the Rutgers
game were announced It was enthusi
astically voted to telegraph congratu
lations to the team.
The most serious part of the pro
gram was immediately after the ban
quet when President Warren G. Hard
ing delivered a front-porch speech on
"Why ' Everybody Voted fof Me."
"Let's be done with the wiggle
shimmy," he shouted and then pro
ceeded to affirm the report that he
has colored blood in his veins. He
stated that his blood is red. For
emphasis he punctuated his speech
here and there with an enthusiastic
"Hooray!" He said that he had al
ways been dry and felt very dry Just
then. A chorus of "How Dry I Am"
arose from the audience.
C. W. Pugsley, president of the
Lincoln Alumni Club, discovered that
the announcement of Harding's elec
tion was premature and that Cox had
been elected. Fortunately President
James M. Cox was at hand to justify
the actions of himself and the demo
cratic party In a speech on "Why 1
Am Elected." He denied th foul re
port that the democratic party did not
collect more than a five thousand

CORNHUSKER TO BE
"NEBRASKA ANNUAL"
Not "Victory Annual" or "Service
Book," Says Staff Student Body
to Help Choose Material.
The days of "Victory Annuals,"
"Service Books" and all those things
has passed. That is why this year,
the managers of the big 1921 Corn
husker have chosen to call their book
the "Nebraska Annual."
But to leave the book with merely
a name is not the plan of the Corn
husker staff. The "Nebraska Annual'
in fact as well as in name is going
to be deserving of the title that the
managers have given it.
Not satisfied with trusting to their
own judgment as to what towns would
be representative towns of Nebraska.
the editor and business manager have
decided to let every student in the
University or rather every loyal Corn
huskers a chance to get in on the
big game o fchoosing the material for
the annual.
Daily Nebraskan to Help.
In order to insure a representative
vote of students on this matter, the
co-operation of the Daily Nebraskan
has been obtained to assist in getting
the vote. In one edition Of the Daily
Nebraskan next week, a coupon will
bo published which students can clip
iml use as a ballot.
Each subscribers of the Nebraskan
will in this way get one vote on the
matter. Each student will vote for
(lie town or ciiy tha the wants repre
sented in the Cornhusker. The votes
will he deposited in ballot boxes on
varirtis places on the campus.
After the votes have been counted,

'Team, Say Eastern Experts Squad
in Excellent Physical Shape.
The Husker football party jour
neyed from New York to State Col
lege, Pa., yesterday where they will
battle with the Penn State aggrega
tion on Saturday. The entire party
was in high spirits after their very
successful showing against the Rut
gers eleven, whom they defeated. 28
to 0, on Tuesday. Rutgers was de
feated by a larger score than any or
the Husker enthusiasts expected and
the fourteen point money on Penn
State, which was so plentiful before
the Rutgers contest, has entirely dis
appeared. Eastern experts say they
expect Nebraska to give the Quakers
a good drubbing and all the Husker
followers have high hopes that their
warriors will play the same style of
football that they displayed in the
Polo Grounds battle.
Aft-American Possibilities.
Several of Coach Schulte's proteges
showed a class of football Tuesday
that may put them on the all-Ameri-
can team.. Probably the most
brilliant star of the game was Wright,
the speedy Husker halfback. He
made repeated gains of from five to
fifty yards and was largely instru
mental in taking the ball within scor
ing distance for Nebraska. Wright is
the fastest man in the Husker back
field and great things are expected of
'm in the Penn State game. Pucelik,
Hartley and Swanson also showed
great form. Pucelik blocked several
of the Rutgers' punts and played a
stellar defensive game. Hartley
smashed the Rutgers line and skirted
the ends for repeated gains. Swan-
son made two of Nebraska's four
touchdowns and when the Huskers
punted, downed the Rutgers pilot in
his tracks without fail.
