his own photographer take motion

airangements he had made before

diately after the game at the Rivoli
and Rial to theaters, the two leading
Broadway motion picture houses. The
following day Mr. Elliott had the
pictures privately shown before the
Nebraskans twice. The repetition en
abled the coach to comment upon
various plays, both good and bad.
The performance of "Good Times"
at the Hippodrome theater, the larg
est play-house in the world, was at
tended by the team the evening of
the game. Through Mr. Elliott's ar
rangements along with the election
returns the score of the game was
announced and attention was called

prominent firms on Broadway and
had Nebraska songs and yelUpnnted
for use 'at the game. He bought
twenty-four blankets and presented
ihem to the department cf physical
training and athletics for the use of

KATHER1NE BRENKE TELLS
OF FRENCH EXPERIENCES
Nebraska Co-ed Who received Scholar
ship writes of Her Journey
Across Atlantic.
Katherine Brenke, ex-'22, who was
the only Nebraska girl to receive the
French scholarship for a year's study
in Prance, writes from New York
and France. Miss Brenke is the
daughter of Professor and Mrs. W. C.
Brenke of Lincoln and was a Junior
In the University. Extracts from Miss
Brenke's letters read as follows:
1 have so much to wri:e about that
I hardly know where to begin. After
mailing my letter to you yesterday
I went to the Institute for tea, then
attended to some of the formalities ot
my passage and went home with Pro
fessor and Mrs. Parker for dinner.
The next day Mrs. Parker conducted
me to the pier and we had about an
hour to wait. I certainly had s most
enjoyable time in New York. By the
lime the gang plank drew up I was
about all in from so much celebrating.
1 went right down to the cabin ana
before I Knew it I was asleep. We lef.
about 12:40 and it was 2 o'clock when
1 woke up. I had missed (he Siatue
cf Liberty and also a regular banquet
wliii h they served for dinner, but 1
ir.i leeling fine again so don't mind.
I shall probably appreciate the Statue
of liberty more when I return any
way. This boat is Quite laiK1, at
1 ast we have to walk miles to get any
place. My cabin is cloj.r down on the
second door below the main deck. It
i.i small, considei ing there are four of
us in it, but very well equipped. 1
have one of the upper berths, which
pre much airer than the lower.
Ce.ore I forget about it, please ex
plain to everybody how long it takes
for me to answer their letters. I jus:
found out thai there is no outgiing
mail. It will be nearly a month be
fore you will get this letter then.
Well, I hope you wont worry because
there are four of us who will be to
gether all of the ;ime.
Most of the people on the ship sr.?
French, so I hear it on all sides and
it seems as tho I can understand it
better already. I could see land all
the time until about ten minutes aso,
but now all I can see is boats. An
airplane swooped down almost on ;op
of the boat, causing great commotion
tnd then went over and did the same
;hing to the other boats in sighi
Land Looks Queer
October 2 We have just been view
ing our first sight of land, and how
queer and substaniial looking it in
after rocking out on the water lor tea
days. We have had a perfectly felori
ous trip all the way wrtn only one se
vere storm to make it exciting. It was
an equinoxial storm, lasting two days
:-nd nights. The waves averaged be
tween forty and fif;y feet high, accord
ing to an instrument of measurement
they use, and I don't doubt it at all be
cause they rose clear up to the third
dock. The old boat rolled way over
on one side and then on the Oiher.
Sometimes it wen: so far we were
holding our breath to see whether ii
could come back again. It was al
most impossible to walk around i.nd
even worse for sleeping at night be
cause we were tossed from one side
of the bed to the oiher and had 10
hang on to keep in at all. Quite a
number of people were banged up
from falls. After finding we couldn't
sleep the first night, nearly every one
slept out in their steamer chairs the
next night. I was with Vera Micol. a
girl in my cabin, and Ruth otchkiss,
an fdorable young teacher from Ak
ron, Ohio. We bundled up in steamer
rugs and spent the night on the back
deck where it was a little sheltered
from the wind. Most of the people
had to go in toward morning because
it was so cold and windy, but we
stuck it out until nearly 6 o'clock. Our
steamer chairs were fastened to an
inner railing by ropes and the wind
didn't strike us, so we felt safe
enough. The waves came up so high
we thought tny minute they would
land on the deck but always t the
propitious moment the boat would roll
over on the other side Just in time
to avoid it. A little before 6 o'clock
it seemed as tho the whole ocean
had risen up on one side and was go
ing to drop right on us. The boat gave
a lurch that broke our chairs away
from the ropes and went skidding all
over the deck. Other chairs r-n into
us and finally we landed on the floor.
We crawled out of our steamer rugs
and made for the inside. It was al
most impossible to go down two
stories to our cabins, so we sat on tfre
stairs until the salon opened and then
sat in there until noon. In the sta
tion are immense chairs held down to
the floor, but we hadn't sat there more
thtn five minutes when they were up
rooted and went sliding first to one
wiJl Mid back to the other. The piano
was about the oniy safe thing to hold
on to at all. Near." ail fbe chairs
were broken up and one bio table was
smashed to pieces. On top of the
TIIE DA1LY
difficulty of getting any place or even
of staying securely in one place near
ly every one was seasick. My iron
constitution stood m well, however,
and I was in perfect health all the
time. There were a few lucky ones
liko myself, and we really enjoyed the
storm. I think I must be naturally
immune from seasickness because I
haven't taken a drop of any kind or
medicine to prevent it. We just live
out on (he deck and eat til the time.
Several people who took these preven
tatives for "mal de mere" made them
selves sick before the storm even
started.' The few of us who remained
in normal health had the entire din
ing and deck service to ourselves. Ali
the rest were confined to their cabins.
Yesterday and today have been quite
calm again, so It has been like & con
tinual celebration. We walk the deck,
talk, read and oa; all day, dance all
evening and finish with a midnight
feast in our cabins. I have never felt
as fine in yenrs or had such a won
derful time. !
Young Journalist On Board
There are the loveliest people on
board you can possibly imagine. There
is a darling little Journalist in the
early twenties who is going to Paris
to study. Sheovorked on the De3
Moines News. She is quite chummy
wi ll all of us and wants us to come
to see her during vacations. I havr
found that it will cost us about. 40
cents a day for a room at the Hotel
Peirograd (the Y. w. C. A.) at Paris.
I will spend a few days there ou the
way to Tours if we nave time.
We have lots of artis.s and niusi
cians on board, some of them very
Kood. too. Wilber Daniel Steele, au
thor of "Laud's End" and "Footfalls'"
in the last Pictoiial Review Is here
wiih his family. It is lots of fun to
si e such notables at close range. He
is quite slight, wears a mustache, bis
ot-eles and knickers with high
woolen Blockings. There is a girl on
board whose father is the next presi
Jent of Venezuela. There is f.u old
poet with a long square beard whom
we call "Bolshevik" and several En
lishmen. This ii a fine place to me
all nationalities ami a great place to
z'.i other people's point of view.
1 am afraid ii will be hard 'o come
down to school life and bread and cof
fee at Tours sifter .his wonduful trip.
I am inclosing a ft lunch menus
which I wish you would save.. We
have had twi thicken and ice cream
dinners and one turkey dinner.
Yesterday we saw some boats lor
the first time for' more than a we.-k
and everybody came out to see them.
We will sail down the English chan
nel tomorrow morning. My scarf suiv
ly comes in handy because it is pret
ty cool. Good-bye until Paris!
Enjoying Paris
October 4. I am having a g'onous
time in Paris. We were met at Havre
by a most responsible looking lady
who ushered us to the train and chep
eioned us to Phi is. There a French
man met us and sai -e could sicy a
few days here before going on it we
w;mt to. (Some of the girls went on
but most of us stayed.) They had re-s-erver
rooms for us one night at the
French-American Welfare club house,
a lovely stone and marble builiing
which was headquarters for the sol
diers' recrea;ion during the war. We
had h good dinner and night's rest and
breakfast there, free- as far as I can
find out. Then we s;ient the morning
at the customs house getting our
trunks sent on to our destination.
Most of the girls left ;his afternoon,
but Dorothy Watson, who was going
to Tours, and I sent our trunks on
with the other two girls.
This afternoon we found out that
ihcre is only room lor two at Tours so
we have to go to beauvis, fifty miles
north. Beauvis is a village of tO,(KM,
but I think thtt we will at least have
a room to ourselves and that is a
great consolaiion. Two of the other
girls are there already. Dorothy is
going tomorrow and 1 am going in
three or four days. The young teach
er, Kuth otchkiKS, whom I wrote you
j bout on the boat, is staying ai the
Hotel Burgundy. She wants me to
see Paris with her, so I have moved
over here and can go to Beauvis when
I get ready.
Shops and Arc de Triomphe Viewed
This afternoon we walked thru lots
of quaint little shops, sow the A'C de
Triomphee and had tea and pastry in
one of the darling pastry shops around
here. The streets are veery narrow
for the most part except the big boule
vards. The sidewalks are too and if
two or three persons are walking to
gether you have to step off in the
street when you pass anybody. There
are the craziest busses and su'.omo
biles you ever saw and there are no
traffic laws or policemen. Your life
is in your own hands and you arc t-r-rested
if you let somebody run over
you. "T'" ttke our meals at the Houel
Petrograd and big dinners range from
6 to 8 francs. Our room costs us a
dollar apiece, so it is not so very ex
pensive to live here. Tomorrow wc
are fcoing to sUut out early and tour
the interesting parts around here. We
are right in the center or most of the
old historic places. Then we tre go
ing to take a rade down the Seine to
NKBRASKAN
the Eiffel tower ano look around
there. The next day we are going
either to the Latin quarter or to visit
some of the neighboring battlefields
It Is Just wonderful to be here and
see the places I have read about and
this Is the most beautiful time of
year. I never saw such coloring as
we saw thru the whole country com
Ing down on the train and the gar
dens here are a mass of beautiful
flowers and trees. 1 am enjoying
every single minute. Miss Hotchklss
is a lovely person to go around with
She is probably 24 or 25 so I feei safer
with her than 1 would with one of the
girls. I am so glad she invited me to
stay here with her or I would not
have seen anything of Paris. Mr. Roz,
the man who met us, has wired to
Tours to send our trunks and I hope
they will send them on to us at Beau
vis. My address there is Lycee Jeanne
Hachette, Beauvis Oise, France.
