booth will be open one hour only.
At the booth at Ellen Smith hall
all presidents of organized room

GLASSES PREPARE FOR
TRADITIONAL OLYMPICS
Sophomores and Freshmen
Make Selections for In
dividual Events.
The sophomore and freshmen
classes are rapidly selecting their rep
resentatives for the annual Olympics
which co.iie next Saturday morning.
Neither class has picked all its en
trants as yet, however, and both urge
that any men who are qualified to
enter in any of the events try out for
them at once.
Sophomore tryouts for boxing and
wrestling events will be held at the
Armory this afternoon at 4 o'clock.
The freshmen want more relay and
wrestling candidates to turn out. The
time of the freshmen tryouts can be
learned from Joe Weir tt B3l'07.
The sophomores are making prep
arations to check the presence of
every sophomore man at the Olym
pics. The result of the traditional
clash will probably be determined by
the flag rush or the push ball con
test both of which require numbers
for victory. All men with less than
fifty-two hours and more than twan-ty-three
hours are therefore expected
to be at the fray and help in these
two events.
There are ten events in the Olym
pics this year. Boxing and wrestling
events in the 145, 158, and 173 pound
classes make up ix of the ten and
the 400 yard relay, tug-of-war, flag
rush, and push ball are the other four.
The first ix events each count five
points, the relay and tug-of-war, ten
points, and the flag rush and push
ball count 25 points each.
Kornhusker Kadet
Staff Meet Today
Plans are being made to put the
Kornhusker Kadet out in about a
week. The staff, which has recently
hcen chosen, met for the first time
last Friday. This staff, it must be
remembered, is only temporary- Per
manent positions will be announced
in about a week.

madly off the campus.
This little incident shows how un
satisfactory were the methods for
dealing with the problem. The sit
uation finally became so bad that a
number of upperclassmen came to
Professor Condra and asked tliat
something be done about it- Dr.
Condra said that a great deal of
thought and time would have to be
given the subject before a proper so
lution to the problem could be found.
Committees of the senior and jun
ior class were named to consider the
matter. After many conferences
with Dr. Condra the outline of the
Olympics organization was agreed
upon.
There were to be competitions in
organized field events between rep
resentatives of each class, together
with a free for all battle to wind up
the exercises. It is of particular in
terest to note that the students were
not ctronr for the rougher events
whkh the faculty were in favor of
having.
Chancellor Andrews showed a
friendly attitude, and said he was
not afraid of anybody being hurt.

souri University.
AVERY SPEAKS AT
SEVERAL MEETINGS
Attendance at several meetings of
university executives and assisting at
the inauguration of Stratton D.
Brooks as president of the University
of Missouri were the purposes of a
trip made by Chancellor Samuel
Avery last week.
"How a Chemist Should Proceed to
Secure a College Presidency" was
the title of an address given by the
chancellor to the Missouri section of
the American Chemical Society.
Initiation of two new college pres
idents, Dr. C. W. Pugsley, formerly
of Nebraska, but now president of
the South Dakota agricultural col
lege, and Bradford Knapp, new head
of the Oklahoma agricultural college
occupied part of the chancellor's
time when he was told to give Dr.
Pugsley a little mental hazing.
College executives discussed pen
sions for instructors without reach
ing a definite decision. The Car
negie institute, a sort of benevolent
insurance organization, urges that in
structors pay 5 per cent of their sal
aries toward a combination life in
surance and annuity policy, and that
the university pay another 5 per cent.
If the university does not care to
join in this scheme, the instructor
can pay 10 per cent of his salary to
the institute.
"My Most Humorous Experience"
was the subject of a talk by the chan
cellor at a joint banquet in Chicago
of representatives of state universi
ties and the conference of governing
boards. Regent Seymour represented
Nebraska in the conference. Follow
ing the inauguration of Stratton
Brooks as president of Missouri,
Chancellor Avery spoke on the "Uni
versity and Research."
King
Places First at
Livestock Exhibition
Lee King of the Nebraska team
placed first as a judge of swine in
the American Royal livestock show
at Kansas City. Contesting with tea
teams, Nebraska's men took fifth
place.
Some of the animals shown by the
Nebraska Ag college have taken high
places. A junior yearling roan Short
horn was first in his class of twenty
animals. He was also reserve cham
pion 'of the Shorthorn show. This
steer is a distinct product of the Ag
college as both his mother and
grandmother were raised here. As a
calf, this animal was a reserve cham
pion at the Denver show.
More than 1,200 Wisconsin physi
cians make use of the bacteriological
service of the State Hygenic labora
tory conducted in conection with the
University of Wisconsin.
There were 286 women students
on basketball teams at the University
of Wisconsin last year.
Makes Appreciate
of Freshman Spirit
For more than a yearthe alumni
association has been working for,
planning and dreaming a new sta
dium for the University of Ne
braska. At this time it is safe to
say that one of the finest things
going into the stadium is the
rpirit of the many who have helped
to bring it about.
Students, alumni, faculty and
friends have, given uncounted
hours of precious time. Personal
sacrifice is the story of a year's
effort.
"And now with the same spirit
this year's freshman class, the
newest members of the Cornhusker
family, have responded to an ap
peal for help that the stadium
might be finished s it was
planned. The class of '27 bas
lead the way. They have pledged
all that was asked of them. They
too have done their share and it
will be an inspiration for those
who are yet to participate. The
alumni association expresses the
highest appreciation for the spirit
of the class of 11."

Alumni Secretary.
IIUSKERS START
PRACTICE AGAIN
Begin Preparations for Annual
Clash With Syracuse
Team Saturday.
SIX REGULARS OUT OF
GAME WITH INJURIES
The Husker football squad resumed
football practice on the stadium field
Monday afternoon, minus the services
of six Varsity regulars, who were in
jured in the game at Ames last Sat
urday. i Cpach Dawson in a statement Mon
day afternoon said, "There has been
no definite action with any authori
ties in regard to the game at Ames
in which theHusker athletes received
so many injuries. Although the in
cidents were very unfortunate and
deplorable to the visiting team noth
ing will be done until sufficient time
has elapsed for everyone involved to
have ample time to think it over. The
team is very bitter but no definite
action has been taken. Nebraska will
be very forbearing in the methods
she employs in the corrections to he
made."
Injuries Are Handicap.
The injuries to the team are very
unfortunate at this particular time.
They come at the most inopportune
time of the season, just before the
big game. Syracuse is coming to
Nebraska to duplicate its perform
ance of last year when the Orange
tide turned back the Cornhuskers to
the tune of 9-6. Syracuse, suffering
from the sting of last Saturday's de
feat at the hands of Colgate, are tak
ing hold of the workouts with in
creased diligence. They are determ
ined to conquer the victors of the
"mighty from South Bend."
Syracuse is reputed to have one of
the best, if not the best defensive
team in the east and their utmost en
deavor is to establish that fact in
the west by winning next Saturday's
contest by a decisive score.
Syracuse Starts Workouts. "
Syracuse started Monday in a stiff
scrimmage, working against their
first-year men who have been ably
coached on Nebraska plays and for
mations. They have two men on their
team who they are pushing for all
American. It will be a pleasure to
the Husker fans to see some of thatf
eastern ail-American material and see
just how far they outclass the west
erners in straight football.
Nebraska's regulars who are car
rying injuries from Saturday's con
flict and who did not show up in suits
Monday are: McGlasson, Weir, Rob-
I ertson, Hutchison, Rhodes and Locke.
Mac is employing a cane to assist
him in his various movements but the
rest of the casualties are able to get
around with a limp. It is doubtful
whether any of them will be able to
report for duty before Wednesday,

Classes Not to Be
Excused Saturday
To the Instructors and Students
of the University of Nebraska:
Because of the many interrup
tions that have already occurred
this semester with regard to Sat
urday work, it will be impossible
to excuse classes next Saturday
for the Olympics, but students who
have laboratories on this day and
who are able to make it up eavlier
in the week may have the privilege
of so doing. This is in accordance
with an agreement made some
three weeks ago with representa
tives of the student body.

WILL RALLY ON EYE
OF SYRACUSE GAME
Parade to Follow "East-West"
Pep Meeting on Campus.
Friday.
The night before the football game
with Syracuse, Nebraska students will
meet on the campus north of the
Administration building for the East
West rally. It is hoped that as many
attend this rally as attended the one
the night before the Notre Dame
game. A great platform will be
built on the campus and the rally
will be held there. It will be fol
lowed by the parade down the main
streets of Lincoln and thence to the
Lincoln Hotel to greet the Syracuse
team.
Committeemen expressed the be
lief that students would be as loytl
and as enthusiastic as they were the
eve of the Notre Dame game. One
man stated, "the students are not
showing the pep this week that they
did the week before the Irisr baUle
and that looks rather serious now,
too." He also expressed the opinion
that he thought a good rally Friday
night would do a great deal toward
helping the Huskers beat the invad
ers. It is quite probable that Coach
Dawson, Captain Lewellen and Pro
fessor Scott will give short talks. The
importance of the rally is being
stressed and much work will be done
on it this week. Further announce
ments will be made from day to day.
Hoffman to Speak
at Vespers Service
Conrad Hoffman, executive of the
World Student Christian Federation,
will talk at Vespers Tuesday night at
5 o'clock in Ellen Smith Hall. The
service will be led by Helen Guthrie
and Fern Maddox will sing. Host
esses will be Glady Rice, Charlotte
Baker, Pauline Gellatly and Helen
Palmer.
Conrad Hoffman knows more Eu
ropean students personally and can
speak more authentlcay upon con
ditions surrounding student life i"
central Europe than any one man.
He has been in direct cfiarge of the
Student Friendship Fund to which
Nebraska has contributed each year
since the war.
There were 180 men in boxing
teams and 160 in the wrestling teams
at the University of Wisconsin last
year.
The radio filter problem of sepa
rating the signals of one wireless
station from those of other stations
is being studied by a University of
Wisconsin professor.
It Wasn't Work of Fortune
East, West, North, and South are inclined to declare
that Notre Dame's defeat was work of fortune. Even
the characteristic fight that has become CornhHsker, has
failed to convince the world that luck did not feature in
that victory. It was Nebraska determination, Nebraska
fight, and Nebraska spirit that beat the Irish.
There are many injuries in the Husker lineup but
there is nothing to keep the students from maintaining
that fight that they have shown and must show this week.
The cause of western football against the cream of the
East is at stake in the stadium Saturday.
Nebraska does not declare that she can beat Syra
cuse. Nebraska declares that every Cornhusker is going
to that game Saturday to give everything he has for the
glory of this institution. Nebraska declares that there
are not any more loyai students in any university or col
lege than the students at the University of Nebraska.
East Meets West Saturday.
CONRAD HOFFMAN
WILL SPEAK AT
MEETINGS TODAY
Well Known Student Relief
Worker to Address Con
vocation Today.
TO BE ON PROGRAM
OF FORUM LUNCHEON
Nebraska students will have an op
portunity to hear one cf the most
noted "Y" workers and authorities
on student problems in the country
when Conrad Hoffman addresses the
special convocation in the Temple at
11 o'clock this morning.
"He is one of the big men in hio
line in the country and Nebraska is
unusually fortunate in being able to
secure him for one day," said W. Paul
McCaffree, general secretary of the
University Y: M. C. A.
Hoffman will also address Ihe
World Forum at a luncheon which
will be held at the Grand hotel this
noon instead of Wednesday. At this
meeting students will have an oppor
tunity to question him and discuss
various students problems. Only 100
students will be able to attend the
luncheon. A few tickets are btill
available for this luncheon and may
be secured at the Y.M.C.A. or Y.W.
C.A. offices.
Speaks on European Problem.
Although he did not announce his
subject Hoffman will undoubtedly
speak on conditions ard problems of
students in Europe and tell some of
his unusual experiences in doing re
lief work in the prison camps of Ger
many. Hoffman began -his career as a
Y.M.C.A. worker at the University
of Kansas where he was general sec
retary of the University Y.M.C.A.
Previous to that he had been Profes
sor of Biology at the University of
Wisconsin where he was considered
one of the most brilliant, young fac
ulty members. At the outbreak of
the world war in 1914 Hoffman w;nt
to Germany to establish the prison
war work in Germany.
When the United States ertered
the war and .all Americans left Ger
many it seemed certain the work
would have to be suspended. How
ever Hoffman was permitted to re
main and continue the work. It was
through his efforts that supplies for
American prisoners were delivered.
At the close of the wa h re
turned to K. U. but was sooa called
back to take charge of the European
Student Relief throughout Europe.
He has been in direct charge of the
Student Friendship Fund to which
Nebraska has contributed each year
and it has only been through his ef
forts that many European students
have been able to continue their edu
cation. Well Known in Europe.
Dr. John R. Mott, internationally
known Y.M.C.A. worker, once said of
him, "The name which next to that
of Herbert Hoover brings cheer and
hope in the European nations is that
of Hoffman."
He recently returned to this coun
try for a two months' visit and was
prevailed upon to make a short tour
of the country and tell university
students of European conditions and
the need of aid there. Nebraska is
one of the few places he is visiting
on his short trip.
