"Cnllege Tweeds' Are
Now In Vogue in the
Nebraska University
Corduroy trousers, the "college
tweeds" have met with the approval
of university men. The niost pepuar
truuser is tailored close r.t the knee
and allowed to flare at the bottom,
v vering the instep. Because of the.
unusual attractiveness of the garment
as well as its durability, the present
indications are that this new creation
is hero to stay. The Phi Delts are
usually credited with the introduct
Ing corduroys at Nebraska.
College tweeds mr.y be worn wlta

one that does not contrast too great

Popular this season, may be worn

The origin of corduroy cloth seems
to have been Somerset, England,
:metime in the Eighteenth century.
It was first woven ot cotton or v.en
into the familiar ribbed sun ace It
been believed by manv that it
named because of ! sir.i luity ot
Tpearance, after the .durcy roads
hich were constructed by laying
down logs side sr :de. Some authori
ties state that the crigin is French,
coming from "cor du roi" which lit
erally means "cloth of the king."
At first corduroy was used for outer
garments of men engaged in rough
labors, field sports, and the like Later
velvets were woven into a similar ma
terial which probably occasioned the
Phrase "corde du roi." At the pres
ent time we have unix.rsity men,
unpaged in the difficult labor of an
education, clothing themselves In
hat was once the "cloth of kings"
od now just "college tweeds."

WESLEYAN WINS FROM

ercollegiate Title in Post
Season Gome.
Wesleyan gathered in the state con
ference title for the gridiron sport in
a game with Wayne Normal Saturday
afternoon by a score of 17 to 3 in a
post, season game full of surprises. The
Coyotes bagged their first touchdown
early in the second period when Hare
Wesleyan halfback grabbed up a fum

Wesleyan left end broke up Wayne's
aerial attack when he intercepted t
forward pass and ran sixty-nine yards
for a touchdown.
Both teams attempted drop kicks in
the r.econd period but failed.
Wavne's only score was made in th
third period when Myers dropped

pounds a man was too much for the
normal students and the Wesleyan ag
gregation tore through the Normal
line for a total of 264 y.irds while th

That the Wayne team put up a hard
battle is shown by the fact that it wa
r.ble to smash through for seven first
downs but the weight of the Meth
dists carried them through for ten.
The game gave the Wesleyanites a
clear claim to the Intercollegiate titli

Journal, the quarterly publication of

to the secretary, Harold F. Holtz, it

most appropriate and the catchiest

ground for actors. Benson, the head of
the company was an athlete and an
actor. His company was made up of
Oxford' and Cambridge men.
Benson insisted that the actors tak?
part in the company cricket and foot
ball matches, so keen was he on the
athletic side of the men. Mr. Holme

best known palys. I was generally con

know, the theater there is located
just five yards from the river Avon.
During the long wits at dress, re

The Hair Net, That
Necessary Article
Sold By Y. M. C. A.
Show me the woman who doesn't
love a bargain!
A marcel wave and a hair net are
the first acquisitions of the frosh co
eds who come down from all the
'hometowns." every fall to rogister.
But after about one day of standing
in line, and of observation, next day
we see that lo! the magic wand has
waved and what, yesterday was
straight and rumpled, today is famcoth
and trimly undulated.
Let us lift up our voices in praise
of the hair net!
But, on an allowance, and with
these hats that ruin a net a day; to
say nothing too, of the disasters of
a crowded dance floor where some
swirling couple sticks a mean finger
into one's lmir net and pulls it half
off; and "(we hate to confess it!)
tl.ese frat pins that catch 'em, or that
they catch on it takes all one's spare
shekles to buy enough of these most
necessary articles to keep up a pre
sentable appearance.
And now, comes a boon! Gather
'round sisters! You can buy "tin five
cents cheaper at the Y. W. C. A. shop,
in Ellen Smith hall, the same kind
you get down town. -So much closer
also, one can stop in on the way home.
And double mesh, single mesh, cap
and fringe, in every shade from pink
to black!
Oh, just sublime and subtle hair
net! How essential thou art!
