and some of the other important cities
of the east.
By their overwhelming victory over
the Oklahoma Sooners last Saturday,
the Nebraska athletes are sending an
advance warning to Glen Harrier's ath

reg'slored against the Huskers was by
a jingle touchdown. Nebraskan? will
'hVe a chaneo to compare the Huskers
witi. the Army and other Important

istence is to some extent replaced by
co-operation in defense and m the

greater part of the year they live
alone. Tho wolves, hoevcr, furnish
us wilii nn instance of co-operation
among the carnivors.
EEarliest man, as far as we can
tell, was a mighty hunter who ranged
the forests and steppes of Europe in
wolf-like packs and who, even with
rude stone weapons, proved move
than match for cave lion, i-ave bear,
sabre-tooth tiger, awcochs, rhinoceros,

abolished tho civilized equivalent of

chiefly upon moral and economic ar

HYDE TAKES FIRST
PLACEIN TRYOUTS
Team To Meet Aggiea in First Cross
Country Race Of Season Is
Picked.
The cross country team, consisting
of Bowman, Coats, Neilson Weir,
Hyde, Sleanmons, and Hartman which
will run in the dual meet against the
Kansas Aggies Saturday, was select
ed following tho final cross country
tryou:s held Tuesday evening. About
thirty runners participated in the try
outs. Hyde finished first with Weir
running second.
Final tryouts for the crews country
team were held Tuesday evening at
five o'clock. Hyde captured first place
after an excellent, run. Weir succeed
ed in copping second honors. The first
six men finished in the following ord
er: Hyde, Weir, Neilson, Hartman,
Alexander and Davidson.
The dual meet with the Kansas Ag
gies will bo held Saturday morning
at 11 o'clock. According to informa
tion received here. Hie Aggies have a
strong team, which can be depended
upon to run a fast race. Nebraska's
prospects of winning this meet are not
overly ibrig'hl, due to the loss of Cap
tain "Lefty" Williams, and ,i strong
probabilitd that Rownian will not run
because of the bad condition of his
lungs. However, Coach McMasters has
succeeded in developing a number of
fast runners and so a close race Is
expected.
The meet with the Aggies will af-
ford Coaoh McMasters an opportunity
to discover any weak spots in the
team. He will then have a week to
correct any weaknesses in the team
before the Missouri Valley meet, which
will be held here a week from Satur
day, November 12. Nebraska hopes to
carry home the bacon this year in thj
Valley run which has been won by
Ames for three consecutive years.

tuan nine-! nths of the huge income
of muueiu nations g.xn to p:'y foi
past war or to pay for new ones. Such
arguments were familiar before 1914
Und tho events of 1914-1918 have in

But the world war has emphasized
.mother aspect of tho question. It
i.an caused the loss 1 ix Europe, of

This frightful expenditure cf human
life much exceeds that In all Eu

the Sarajevo assassination. Can we
suppose that the piesont generation
will be the only sufferers tecause of
the catastrophe? The contrary must
be the case. All succeeding genera
tions will be impoverished in biood, be
cause so many of Europe's best died
on Flanders fields, leaving the race
to be perpetuated by the weaker ele- i

This is the argument which eugenics
the science of being well bom, makes
against war. Darwin stated it very
clearly just fifty years ago, in the
"The Descent of Man."
"In every country in which a stand
ing army is kept up, the fairest young
men are taken to the couscription
camp or are enlisted.
They are thus exposed to the ear
liest death during war or are often
tempted into vice, and are prevented
from marrying during the prime of life.
On the other hand, the shorter and
feebler men with poor constitutions
are left at home and consequently
have a much better chance of marry
ing and propagating their kind. '
WILD WEST FEATURES

Gamblers, Cowboys, Cowgirls and

Saturday Evening.
When the big wild west carnival
breaks loose in tiie armory this Sat
urday evening at 7:30 the excitement
will be enough to make Buffalo Bill
turn in his grave on tlie lonely mount

repeated itself in a hurry and the
west had thrown off its civilization
iiko a doak and reverted to its pri
mitive state once more. Gamblers,
cowboys, cowgirls, Spanish dar.ceu
and other western types will ali be
seen at the big carnival.

By a little detective work on the
part of the publicity committee, it
has been learned who the boair.itul
I young ladies are who will lend an air
of romance to the carnival by their
appearance in the attractive costumes
of Spain and the western plains. The
Alpha Phi girls have most graciously
consented to play the paits ol the

the bewitching, dark-eyed Spanish

men shot and ftabbed each other in
the golden west. It is hoped that

It has also been learned by the

The Babcock standard cylinder press

The equipment in the plant is prac

a Chandler and Price 10x15 job press,

Tho object of the plant, will be to
give instruction to the students which

required of a small town publisher.
This will range from the publication
