rnnorts emerging from Doc
....T.n.n'a convalescing room, Herb
.-if. mid Ross McGlasson have
slaved their last game of football for
Nebraska. Herb is taking treatments
for his injured leg at the Lincoln san
itarium and his condition is serious.
He may be forced to spend a few
Aava there. Mac has been hob-
bling around since the Ames game. It
wa9 hoped that he wouia do aDie 10
put on the harness for the Syracuse
battle, but his injuries are slow to
heal and now it is very doubtful if
be will be able to get into the Tur
key day fete.
. With these two reliable veterans
m,t of the lineup, and with four
Hims carrying injuries that keep
them from scrimmage, the Husker
tquad will go forth to battle for Mis
souri Valley honors in worse shape
than in the game for supremacy be
tween the east and west with the
Orange team from Syracuse. If Ced
Hartman's ankle is healed sufficient
ly for him to be inserted into the
machine, things will assume brighter
attitude.
Locke's ankle is still bothering him
and it is a big question whether he
will be able to participate in the final
game of his first year of college foot
ball.
Dawson I 111.
Another blow hit the Husker camp
when Head Coach "Snap-iMJp" Daw
son went home Monday with a cold.
Tie attending physician pronounced
it a severe cold with possibilities of
pneumonia. Consequently, the head
mentor has remained at home in a
quiet state. If he can shake his cold
completely, he may be able to run
his Husker machine from .the side
lines, but if complications set in, the
responsibility will automatically shift
to Coaches Schulte and Frank.
Light workouts are being held for
the Husker warriors. Workouts in
which the Aggies' aerial work feat
ures. No hard scrimmage is on the
slate for this week. Skull practices
and dummy scrimmages will fill most
of the cards.
Aggiei Working Hard.
The Aggies are working hard for
the Nebraska game. It is the last
game for seven men on the squad
and they want to make it a victory,
not only from a victory standpoint,
hut from a "beat Nebraska" stand
Point. If the Aggies defeat Nebraska
it will give Kansas the Valley title.
All the dope on the game favors
e Aggies. They are in perfect phy
sical condition, and they have all
en Nebraska play, Coach Backman
knows thoroughly every Nebraska
P'ay and members of his teams are
Past masters at the passing game.
Considering everything, the Tur
key Day game at Nebraska is going
to attract a considerable lot of no
tice throughout the Valley.

FRESHMEN HEAR
FOSSLER SPEAK
ON LANGUAGES
Formation of Words Is Traced
in Lecture Given
Monday. ,
GERMAN AND LATIN
FUSED INTO ENGLISH
The English language, as it is
spoken today, is the result of a fusion
of the Latin and Germanic tongues,
and no other language is so rich in
words of various origins, Frof. Law
rence Fossler of the modern language
department told the freshman lecture
students of the College of Arts and
Sciences, Monday evening and Tues
day morning.
"Sources and Characteristics of the
English Language," was the title of
Professor Fossler's lecture He traced
the history of its development, point
ing out the change which took place
and which resulted in a language that
has neither inflections nor grammati
cal gender.
People of other countries have
been content to merely develop their
own language, Professor Fossler said.
The Danish, Swedish and Norwegian
languages, for instance, arc purely
Germanic in origin, and they have re
mained so. The English speaking peo
Dle. on the other hand, have continu
ally borrowed words from other lan
guages, and today we have a tongue
that is rich in so-called synonyms.
Latin Formerly Used.
When Rome controlled the British
Isles, Latin was the spoken tongue.
Later, when the Germanic tribes in
vaded Britain, during the fifth cen
turv. and overthrew Roman rule, low
German replaced Latin. FFrom that
time until 1066, when William of
Normandy became ruler of the Brit-
ains, German was the language of
both the aristocracy and of the com
mon people.
French was the language of the
Normans, and as it is a form of Latin,
that tomrue was introduced into Brit
ain a second time. However, French
was but the adopted language of the
Normans, for they were originally
Norsemen or Vikings who settled in
northern. France and adopted the
customs and speech of that country.
The most outstanding feature
about the language used by the Bnt-
ains between 450 and 1200 was that
it was inflectional. Also, there was
a grammatical gender, as each noun
was either masculine, feminine or
neuter.
Latin and German Fused.
A gradual fusion of the Latin and
Germanic tongues took place between
1200 and 1500. At first the Nor
mans, who .composed the aristocracy
or cultured class, would not learn
GeGrman. Since some form of com
munication had to be established.,
rh rraduallv learned a few words
of the other, but the tenses of the
verbs were dropped and the genders
of nouns was ignored.
In old English literature the
strange mixture of the two languages
rov observed. What was a cow
or a' swine to a Saxon herdsman be
came veal or pork when set before
a Norman lord.
According to Professor Fossler,
there are no real synonyms in any
language, as there are no two words
of idential meanings that could be
used, the one to replace the other.
So-called synonyms are words of sim
ilar meanings, only.
MICHIGAN Seventeen thousand
poppies were placed on sale for Arm
istice Day. symbolizing the fields of
Flanders. The American Legion
auxiliary will use its share oi tne
proceeds in assisting war cripples and
the Y. M. C. A. to promote work in
Y. M. C. A.'s of other countries for
the purpose of furthering friendship
among foreign countries.
Fight, Nebraska, Fight!
Presenting a lineup still weakened by injuries, Ne
braska's Fighting Cornhusker's will take the field in the
Memorial Stadium tomorrow afternoon against the Kan
sas Aggies, a team which intends to beat Nebraska.
Nebraska must win if she is to continue to hold her
enviable position in Valley athletics, which has been en
dangered by the tie scores with Missouri and Kansas!
Nebraska must win, or truly, Kansas, with a clean grid
slate, will "own the Valley!" Nebraska must win, if she
is to retain the prestige gained over the football world by
the Notre Dame victory !
. As in the case of the Syracuse battle, the odds are in
favor of Nebraska's opponents!
Coach Bachman's warriors are coming here tomor
row primed to put forth the supreme grid battle of their
career! They have everything to win and nothing to
lose! They are super-charged with a fighting desire to
"beat Nebraska!" They are in perfect physical condi
tion! They have perhaps the greatest forward-passing
attack in the history of American football and remem
ber what forward passes, did to Nebraska last Saturday.
Coach Dawson's Fighting Cornhuskers are crippled,
but they will fight! Nebraska's team will give every
thing they can no man can give more ! Nebraska con
cedes nothing, and the greatest fight ever waged by a
Husker team will be witnessed on Memorial Stadium field
tomorrow!
Will Nebraska students fight behind their team?
Answer at the rally tonight!
Y. M. G. A. CAMPAIGN
STARTS WITH PARADE
Roundup and Drive for New
Members to Last Three
Days.
A dinner, followed by a parade
and program, started the annual Y.
M. C. A. roundup and membership
. ive Monday night. The drive will
continue for three days, the last re
ports to be in Wednesday night.
The dinner was attended by over
200 cowboys. Dr. H. H. Harmon
gave an address on "How to Sell the
Y. M. C. A." Other speakers were
C. C. Stanton and John Fuhrer.
A parade through Lincoln streets
in which a hundred cowboys, a team
of oxen, and a fife and drum corps
took part, was staged after the din
ner. Members of the association are di
vided into two groups for the drive.
The Oak Creek outfit, wearing red
handkerchiefs, and the Salt Creek
outfit, wearing blue handkerchiefs,
are the two outfits contesting for
honors. Six o'clock suppers will be
held each evening for reports of the
drive. The membership goal is 500.
First Reports Come In.
At the meeting held at the Y.M.
C.A. last night, the first reports of
the drive came in. Team captains
were all in attendance, but many
members were absent and had not re
ported their success. There were
sixty;four workers present who had
secured a total of forty-one applica
tions. Max Meyer's team led with
thirteen applications.
After the dinner Secretaries Vessy
and Luke gave short talks. Vessy
stressed the work on the boys' pro
gram in Lincoln. Luke talked on the
new processes of training young men
for leadership, and the part the Y.
M. C. A. played in this work.
George Christian urged the cap
tains to stand 100 per cent in the
drive and bring the reports up to
schedule by this evening, which is the
last night of the drive.
Reporter Gets "Low-Down
' "Ho! Hum!" sighed old U hall as
it stretched its weary girders, "It
portninlv seems erood to be alone. I
never saw such pep as we have here
this year."
"Yes, I 'agree with you," chimed
in the Armory. "These girls seem to
jump and run even harder than ever.
My roof is simply splitting."
"The moonlight is very soothing to
my aching cornices," sighed Phar
macy Hall. "These embryo pharma
cists can produce more explosions in
a day than I ever witnessed before.
"Social Sciences and I were sud
denly mobbed the othtr night by a
host of students out for a surprise
rally," said Teachers College. "I was
awakened from a fast sleep and all
the next day I felt weak in my foun
dation."
"I really enjoyed it," exclaimed
Social Science, "If I hadn't been conr
structed on such a firm foundation,
I know I should have been cheering
and parading with them. As it was
MILITARY BALL MARKS
OPENING OF SEASON
Governor Bryan, General Dun
can and Other Notables
to Attend.
The winter formal season will be
officially opened Friday night of next
week with the thirty-second annual
military ball. The ball is given
annually under the auspices of the
cadet officers association, at the city
auditorium.
This event brings out the first ar
ray of .evening gowns and white shirt
fronts of the season.
The 300 tickets, issued by the com
mittee last week, were gobbled up ak
most immediately and no more tick
ets are available. More than 100 ca
det officers will take part in the
grand march, which will be one of
the spectacular events of the evening,
following the presentation of the hon
orary colonel of the regiment.
Governor Bryan and Major Gen
eral Duncan, commander of the
Seventh Corps area, will be among
the sixty honor guests who have been
invited to the ball. Formal invita
tions were sent today to the guests
of honor and the cadet colonels and
staff officers of every school in this
area.
Tradition has made the military
ball the first formal of the season
at Nebraska and the date, December
7, will open the winter season at most
of the universities in this section of
the country. To maintain the air of
simplicity at formals which was pres
ent last year members of the com
mittee have decided that no flowers
will be sent.
The committees have been at work
for several weeks and many of the
arrangements have been completed.
The programs have been selected
and a ten-piece orchestra has been
engaged. The decorations are being
being secured from all over the state,
which will be distinctly military in
character. The committee is sparing
no expense to make this the best of
the thirty-two balls given.
When the Buildings Gossip
my windows rattled their hardest and
my doors slammed beautifully."
"So did I," came the small voice
of the Library. "I am so gouged with
learning all the time that I seldom
even hear the Cornhusker. 'That rally
roused me and I haven't that vacant
feeling I had during mid-semesters."
"This is the finest school in the
country," bellowed the stadium, "I
am a new member here but I can see
a brilliant future. When those stu
dents rise and yell at a game my
pillars shiver and I actually ramp all
over this lot. I tell you, I love it."
"Of course, we house the best
school," ejcculated old U Hall, in its
gruff voice. "There should be no
argument about such things among
us campus res' Jents. I wouldn't fall
down on my job on a bet."
"Let's give three cheers for Ne
braska," cut in the Law Building with
its usual spirit, "All ready, go."
And they did. Did yu hear the
rumble?
Plan Thanksgiving
Party for Students

under the auspices of the University
Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A. will be held

LAST RALLY IS
GIVEN TO SHOW
HUSKER SPIRIT
Crippled Team Needs Support
of Students When It Faces
Kansas Aggies.
DAWSON, SCHULTE AND
SCOTT ARE SPEAKERS
The rally for the Kansas Aggie
game will be held in the Armory to
night. It is expected that the, at
tendance will overshadow all former
rallies. The student body will gather
for the last time during the present
grid season, and as the game will be
the last for many of the gridsters,
those in charge of the rally urge that
students be present to help point the
team for the final struggle.
The Kansas Aggies will bring a
strong team to Lincoln for the Tur
key day fray, and with the Husker
team crippled, the Kansas farmers
are to be feared. The Aggies have,
in their backfield, one of the best
passing combinations in middlewest-
ern football. The Kansas team and
school are pointed for the Nebraska
game and intend to fight to the last
ditch.
The speakers at the rally will be
Coach Dawson, Coach Schulte, Cap
tain Lewellen and Prof. R. D. Scott.
The pep session will be presided over
by Welch Pogue, prsidnt of the Inno
cents. The band and cheer leaders
will b present to do their part.
The success of this rally will de
pend on the students, however, no
matter what the speakers, the band,
or the cheer leaders do. The success
of the game depends on the spirit of
th students at this rally. Nebraska
must defeat the Kansas Aggies as
gloriously as she defeated Notre
Dame. The team must be able to
fight as it did against Syracuse,
neither f these games being more
important than tomorrow's.
Be appreciative loyal backers of
the team until its work is finished
and be at that last Nebraska rally
tonight!
What's the Matter
With This Picture?
Here's the right answer!
"The picture in Thursday's 'Ray'
well illustrates a habit that too many
University students have formed in
recent years dancing with but one
partner during the entire evening.
This is neither fair to one's partner
or to one's self and it is certainly a
violation of good taste socially.
"The social side of University life
is an essential part of each student's
education. Those who are constantly
making new acquaintances and
friends obtain the real value from
this. But those who limit their asso
ciations to one person, or a few per
sons, indeed handicap their opportun
ities for social education."
The point is this: Trade dances at
your parties. Nebraska is the only
large school in the middlewest where
"straight programs" are danced at all
parties. Write in to let us know how
this may be best accomplished. Let's
make it the popular thing to trade
dances.
The prize will be divided be
tween Theodore Young, 1429 R street
and Isola M. Curry, 3415 T street, as
the answer printed above is a com
bination of those two answers. Prize
winners should get in truch with the
president of Koemet Klub who 'will
award the cash.
Special music for the annual com
mencement exercises of the Univers
ity of Wisconsin is now being com
posed by the director of the school of
music.
