The Cornhusker yearlings in a

field Saturday afternoon held the
varsiey to two lone touchdowns. The
first one coming in the early part
of the first quarter, the other one
coming just before the whistle at the
end of the third quarter.
The game was much better than
the score would indicate. Although,
without question, the frosh have one
of the best teams that has been on
exhibition here for some time the
varsity was holding its own. The
freshman squad have some "comers."
Their line weighs 200 pounds from
tackle to tackle and they know how
to use their beef. The frosh line com
posed of R. Mandary, Bass, Jones,
Kruse, Joe Weir, and Conklin de
serve mention for the manner in
which they handled themselves.
Their defense was commendable.
Their stonewall holding on some
plays enabled their mates in the
backfield to get away with some good
passes and ?d runs. The backfield
Bill Bronson, Essman and Mandary

some stellar playing for yearlings

TEAM GOES TO PEORIA
FOR JUDGING CONTEST
Five Agricultural Students
Leave Friday for National
Swine Show.
The swine judging team left yes
terday for the National Swine show
to be held at Peoria, Illinois, Sep
tember 28 to October 6. The team
consists of Lee L. King of Central
City, Gaylord Hatton of Edgar, F. B.
Wilkinson of Westboro, Missouri,
Clyde Walker of Waverly, and Fred
M. Daniels of Bancroft. They are
accompanied by Professor Derrick
who has had charge of their training.

animals. In connection with the ex
position is held the inter-collegiate
judging; contest. Individual and team
prizes consisting of trophies and
cash are awarded by the various
breeding associations. On the return

Citizens of Peoria Flock to
Aid of Boy Accused of Theft
The old saying that a man is never without honor except in his
own community was proven to be false recently in the case of Mar
ion Dorman, recently arrested at the Acacia house for stealing an au
tomobile. In Nebraska, Dorman is just an ordinary boy gone wrong
but back home in Peoria, 111., he is still the pride of the town. The
citizens of Peoria have come in hordes to the aid of their fallen hero.
They just can't believe that one who has so consistently taken honors,
'and who was a choir boy, could be guilty of felony and false repre
sentation. The life story of Dorman is interesting as a study of an Alger
book in the reverse. "From Choir Boy to Jail Bird," would be an
appropriate title. The. story would also be interesting to those who
believe in the submerged sub-conscious.
As a sidelight to the story of Dorman is an incident that is of
vital importance to at least one man in Nebraska. That is what Dor
man did with the razor that it is alleged he took from the Acacia
house. According to newspaper reports flrom Omaha his chin is
stubby. Where then is the missing implement?
Ag Students Hold
