Nebraska has one more same to play ; one more con
test before the season officially closes. It is a game with
a team that is not nationally known, but it is a team
. which, like all Missouri Valley teams, is playing brilliant
football.
The Kansas Aggies have the team that was downed
last year by a great fight on the part of the Nebraska
football team.
They are coming back coming here with the inten
tions of beating Nebraska.
One . more game Cornhuskers one more supreme
rally and the curtain shall fall upon Nebraska football
for this season.
There are three more days before the team packs
away their uniforms. Students, make those three days
the greatest days that Nebraska has ever passed through.

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

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

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.

By John Hollingsworth.
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
