STUDENT COUNCIL. RELIEF WORK IS HOPE MOPE May Make Possible the Growth of Internationalism Says Conrad Hoffman ORIGIN OF MOVEMENT EXPLAINED BY CRANE In European Student Relief lies the only hope of the intellectual life of Europe and the only possibility of the growth of internationalism, is the opinion of Conrad Hoffman, dir ector of the work, who visited Ne braska University Tuesday and Wed nesday of last week, speaking at con vocation Tuesday morning. A brief explanation of what Euro pean Student Relief is and how its work is carried on, is made by Eariy' Crane, a student of Washburn Col lege and a member of the Friendship Pilgrimage in 1923, as follows: "The European Student Relief was formed after the close of the Great War by the World's Student Chris tian Federation. Suffering among all classes in Europe after the war was appallfng, but this organization was formed to make it possible for the vouth. the coming leadership of thes countries, to continue its studies. The other classes were better able to care for themselves than were the students, because with a student's work he must give a great deal of his time and energy to study. The Euro pean Student Relief was far-sighted enough to realize that the one class of Deople that the war stricken coun tries could not afford to lose was the educated youth. Consequently under the auspices of the World's Student Christian Federation, contributions have been taken from over twenty countries for tho aid of these students. America has been the createst contributor, because her present financial position is the best, although unemployed England has done nobly. In the distribution of these funds the organization has been careful not to pauperize the recipients of the aid. Instead of giving the aid outright, plans for student work have been promoted. The European Stu dent Relief give ten per cent of the money necessary to start a student store, shoe shop, bakery, or to build dormitories, for example, on con dition that the students raise ninety per cent of the money. In all the war-stricken countries such plans for student work are flourishing. Thus the money is not given out right to the students, but is used in helping them to help themselves. The funds are in a position to be shifted readily from place to place as they are needed. For instance, two years ago the heaviest need was in Austria. For the past nine months no aid has been needed there at all. Since the floating of the Allied Loan for Austria her currency has become stabilized, and her business much more prosperous. Today it appears that Hungary and Germany will need the most aid because of the rapid drop of the Kronen, and the Mark, and the fact that they cannot raise sufficient grain, even in peace times to carry them .over the winter and since their money has no value abroad, they can-, not buy from the ouUide world. However, whoever needs the aid will receive it. The head office of the European Student Relief, located in Geneva, Switzerland, is in the dis trict and know conditions." FRESHMEN WIN IN ANNUAL OLYMPICS Flag Pole Breaks During Rush; First-year Men Forfeit Two Events. FINAL COUNT IS 77-22 AGAINST SOPHOMORES Freshmen won from the sopho mores the right to burn their green caps by a score of . 77 1-2 to 22 1-2 in the annual Olympics held Satur day morning in the stadium. The sophomores won the heavyweight boxing and wrestling matches by for feit; both the 145 and 158 pound wrestling events and split the score with the freshmen in the 145 pound boxing event. The freshmen lost but two of the events in which they en tered men, and tied one. The twelve-foot pole snapped off at the ground as if it were a match a few seconds after the freshman fly ing wedges split into the heart of the little group of sophomores. With at least four times as many men, the frosh carried the second-year men ahead of them by weight of numbers. In less than a half minute Woodard, sophomore president, was forced to drop from the pole into the scramble of tight-pressed men beneath as the pole swayed and fell. The pushball was in the sophomore territory almost the whole of the ten minutes allotted to the event and the frosh took 25 points to swell their staggering total. Freshmen Win Relay. The relay went to the freshmen by inches. The start won the race for them. The events, points and participants were as follows: Boxing. 175-pound Sophoromes, Scott, 5 points bv default. 158-pound Freshmen, Brandegan, 5 points; sophomore, Pickett. 145-pound Sophomore, Moore; freshman, Ramsey; draw. Wrestling. 175-pound Sophomore, Popelar, 5 points by default. 158-pound Sophomore, Lundy, 5 points; freshmen, Huckfelt. 148-pound Sophmore, Gardner, 5 points; freshmen, Fulrodt. Relay Won by freshmen, 10 noints: freshmen Mandery, Tillet- r - son, Daly, Kamm; Sophomores (Continued on Page 4) TO HOLD RALLY FOR THANKSGIVING GAME Plan Giant Pep Meeting Wed nesday Night to Create Nebraska Spirit. . To show the team that, win or lose, every student is behind it, a big rally will be held Wednesday evening. This will be the last rally that many sen iors will attend, and it will be the last for some of the veterans oi the team. The Kansas Aggie game is the climax of the season, and accord ing to committeemen, if this game is lost, our other victories will count for nothing. The Thanksgiving game will be one of the hardest of the season, accbra ing to Coach Frank who scouted the Aggie-Sooner fray at Manhattan Friday. The Aggies gained over 500 yards on forward passes in this game. The whole of Coach Bachman's squad attended the Syracuse game Satur day, - watching every man. Husker students must back the team, say committeemen, if Nebraska is to win. The "Know Nebraska" convoca tion scheduled for Tuesday evening has been postponed at the request of the coaches, in order that Cornhusk ers can come out full strength for the pep meeting Wednesday evening. The Aggies are pointing for the Thanksgiving game. Every student in the school and every man on the team is set to beat Nebraska. They were outpointed in the battle at Ne braska field last year, and they are out for revenge this year, say the coaches. In order that the Huskers may win, the Aggies must be faced by a team with a united student body at its back. The glory of the defeat of Notre Dame, the wonderful fight of the injured team against Syracuse, all the laurels gained this football sea son will be lost, according to commit teemen, if Nebraska does not win. "Be at that rally," is their com mand. "Be at that rally and back the team." What's the Matter With This Picture? This isn't the answer. Some good and many weird an swers were received by Kosmet Klub in response to its offer of a prize for the best answer to the question, "What's the Matter with This Pic ture;" a cartoon printed in the Daily Nebraskan two weeks ago. The con test closed Tuesday and the prize will be awarded in the Wednesday edit'on of the Nebraskan. One student evidently labored long and hard to compose the following answer which touched everything in the picture except the right thing. He concludes that the picture is wrong because: Bell bottom trousers and his col lar. Position of his and her arms. Picture only shows one of his arms. Position of their heads. Position of the lantern in the sec ond picture. Intermission at ten-thirty. Watch for the right answer. RALLY WORKS UP SPIRIT F0R GAME Songs, Cheers and Speeches Create Enthusiasm for Syracuse Contest MEETING ATTENDED BY THREE THOUSAND "If Notre Dame awakened us, Syracuse set us on fire!" Some 3,000 singing, cheering stu dents, imbued with the spirit of Ne braska gathered north of the Admin istration building Friday night and made the basis for this statement by Welch Pogue, president of the Inno cents, who presided. "Syracuse has come a long way to go back feeling like Notre Dame," was the way Captain Verne Lewellen summed it up. "Six Nebraska men are crippled, but what difference does that make? They are going out there tomorrow and they are go ing to fight like hell!" "We're here tonight to insist that the 'Orange' be peeled, and that be ing peeled, we give it a good Nebras ka squeeze," asserted Welch Pogue in introducing Professor R. E. Coch ran who represented the faculty in the absence of Professor R. D. Scott who was ill. "I expect to see 'em do better than Colgate," said Professor Coch ran, pointing to the team. "Colgate soaked 'em. We're going to give them an actual bath." "All of our men are fit and able and we will have no alibis to offer if we are beaten," affirmed John Brockman, student manager of the Syracuse team. "Nebraska is to be congratulated at the excellent man ner in which they turned out to meet us at the train." "Fortify your nerves and steel your hearts for the tremendous struggle that our injured men are going to put up tomorrow," com manded Coach Fred Dawson. He discouraged the spirit of levity shown by some students at the rally and emphasized the seriousnass of the battle to come, and the odds against which Nebraska, with her team rid dled with injuries, would have to face. "We won't be beat! We can't be beat!" This chant, inaugurated by the Corncobs, throbbed at intervals throughout the rally. Speeches were punctuated with shots from the six- shooters of rampant cowboys at the Military Carnival. "Bill" Bradley was in charere of the cheering. Corn cobs in a large truck made the rounds of the fraternity and sorority houses, giving cheers and bringing out the students for the rally. To Entertain Senior Soccer Team Tuesday A soccer feed in honor of the senior soccer team will be given Tuesday, November 27, .at C:00, in Ellen Smith Hall. The senior team is to be the guest of the other classes by virtue of the fact that it was the senior team which won the Soccer tournament. Every girl who came out for one or more soccer practices is in vited to the feed. Those wishing to come are asked to add their names to the list posted on the W. A. A. bulletin board in Memoria' hall. HUSKERS LOSE TO SYRACUSEELEVEN Crippled by Injuries, Nebraska . Team Put? Up Game Bat tle to the Last. FINAL SCORE IN HARD FOUGHT GAME IS 7-0 STATISTICS OF GAME.

Nebraska's Fighting Cornhuskers, battling gamely against terrific odds, outplayed 'the Easterners from Syra cuse for the first three quarters of the contest yesterday, but lost to the Orange in the fourth quarter when the Nebraskans, crippled and worn, were unable to stem a bewildering forward pass attack, which resulted in a defeat for Nebraska on her own field since 1920. The Huskers gave them everything they had; they fought every minute. Dave Noble and Herb Dewitz, Ne braska's halfbacks, both carrying in juries that should have kept them out of football for the remainder of the season were in there fighting every minute. On every play it could be seen that their injuries were hurting. Hutchison, center, also carrying a game leg, displayed the same undy ing fire and and fight. Offer No Alibis. "Injuries handicapped the team but we aren't .offering that as an alibi. We have no alibis," said Head Coach Dawson after the game. "We gave them everything we had and we lost. Herb, Dave, and Hutch played wonderful ball." The end running of Rufus Dewitz was easily the outstanding feature of Nebraska's offense. Rufe circled the ends on several plays one of which was good for thirty-three yards and would have made a touchdown had not Jappe, the Orange left wing man, cut in from behind and tackled him. Nebraska had the ball in threatening territory several times but inability to connect with passes prevented touchdowns. Nebraska completely outplayed the Orange in the first half. The Scarlet and Cream registereH 1-fO yards from scrimmage while the visitors made 58. The Huskers came back strong in the third period and marched down to a comfortable position for scoring but just couldn't plant the ball. Dewitz Runs End. In the first quarter, with the ball on the middle of the field, Rufus Dewitz swung around the Orange team's left end lor thirty-three yards before being tackled from behind by Jappe. Noble hit the left side of the line for three yards. The Huskers faked a plunge at center and Lewel len ran the Syracuse right end for a yard. . It would have been a touch down had not Simmons, the Orange quarter, made a sure tackle. The quarter ended with Nebraska" in possession of the ball on Syracuse's 13 yard line. They started the sec ond quarter by a pass from Rhodes to Noble.but it was incomplete. Rufus Dewitz attempted a place kick but it went wide. Syracuse took the ball on her own 20 yard line. After at tempting two bucks at the line, Ruby punted out of danger. Captain Lewellen's toe gained sev eral yards in an exchange of punts. His attempt at a dropkick from the CO yard Ime fell short by a few feet. Had he been kicking with the wind instead of against it Nebraska would have been the first to get results in the marker. Bassett and Weir, Husker tackles, broke through and threw the Orange backfieid men for losses time after time. Little was gained through the Husker line. Syracuse resorted most ly to end runs and forward passes (Continued on Page 4)
