OLYMPICS COME
NEXT SATURDAY
Annual Freshman-Sophomore
Battle Determines Wheth
er Caps Are Discarded.
STADIUM AND DRILL
FIELD ARE SCENES
The Oympics, the annual battle
between the freshmen and sopho
mores, will start in the Stadium Sat
urday morning at 9 o'clock. The
mcet will decide whether the fresh
men wear their green caps until
Christmas, or for the rest of the
school year.
The Order of Events.
138-pound class, 5 points.
145-pound class, 6 points.
175-pound class, 5 points.
Boxing:
138-pound class, 6 points.
14 5 "-pound class, 6 points.
175 -pound class, 5 points.
Tug-of-War, 10 points.
440-yard relay, 10 points.
Cane rush, 15 points.
Bull pen, 15 points.
Pole rush, 20 points.
Tntnl Points 100.
The wrestling, boxing and tug-of-war
events will be held inside the
Stadium, and the can rush, the bull
pen and the pole rush will be held on
the drill field.
Wreatle Five Minute.
Each of the wrestling matches will
be for five minutes. The partici
pant with the time advantage at the
end of five minutes will be given the
five points, should there be no fall
before that time. Each boxing match
will be for three two-minute rounds,
to a decision. Dale Skinner will re
feree the wrestling matches, and
Harry Reed will be in charge of the
boating.
Each team in the tug-of-war will be
composed of fifteen men. The event
will last until one team has won. The
440-yard relay will also be held in
the Stadium, and will be for ten
points.
The remainder of the events will
take place on the drill field. The
cane rush, which is the first event,
in started by eight freshmen and
eight sophomores, all holding to a
pole. Then fifteen others from each
class rush in an attempt to gain a
hold also. At the end of five min
utes, the class with the most hands
on the pole wins the fifteen points.
Bull Pen It New.
The bull pen is a new game in Ne
braska Olympics. Two sides each
composed of about 100 men, are
chosen, and lined up at each end of
the field. A dividing line, is made,
and the object of the game is for
each side to get the greatest number
of opponents into its territory. The
prifoners are not just tagged and
placed in an imaginary prison, but
ir.ust be held down securely until the
lan minutes have elapsed. The win-
r.incr side is awarded 16 points.
The last, and probably the most
interesting event of the Olympics, is
the pole rush. Robert Hoagland, the
sophomore president, will be placed
cn top a fifteen-foot telephone pole
in the middle of the drill field
Around the bottom will be the mem
her of Vila rlau. The freshmen will
titmpt to get Hoagland from the
pole. If the first-year men succeed
vithin thirteen minutes, twenty
points will be awarded to them. If
they don't, the points go to the soph
omores. Prepare en Large Scale.
Preparation for the Olympics has
bi er going on on a large scale this
year. Doth classes are determined to
win, and while the freshmen have
the greatest number of victories to
thtir credit, the result this year is
by no means certain. Both classes
have been holding tryouts and prac
tiHcr during the last three weeks, and
pirit has been steadily growing.
Each class must get its own paint
to designate its members. Freshmen
will wear green, and sophomores red.
Grease-paint is to be used on the
lac es of all participants in the games.
Afur the Olympics there will be
lo burning of caps, regardless of
who wins. Tly freshmen must wear
them until Christmas if they win, and
the rule will be sharply enforced by
fratornlfiaa n1 tVia Trnn Sphinx. If
the second-year men are the victors,
the caps must be retained until the
.end of the year. .
Women of both classes are urged
t attend the games. While they
cannot actually participate in a cause
that is for them as well as the men,
they can lend their moral support,
say members of the committees.

REMAINS OF ANIMALS
FOUND IN NEBRASKA
The evolution of man and domes
tic animals and an explanation of
the Darwinian theory were the fea
tures of the weekly freshman lecture
given Monday and Tuesday by Prol.
E. H. Barbour of the department of
geology. How remains of ancient
animals found in Nebraska and
Kansas have aided in the explana
tion of early stages in the develop
ment was also told.
"We should realize before we
criticize the Darwinian theory that it
docs not conclude that man was de
scended directly from the ape, said
Professor Barbour. "There Is a
missing step which has not been ex
plained or discovered.
Retomblance I Strong.
The resemblance between the ape
and the man, he said, was very
trong. The ape had no loreneau
nor chin, a small brain, and a curv
ed vertebrae. He developed irom
to a bined slowly and
used his hind feet for many of the
same purposes as his fore leet or
hands.
The first man of which we have
any knowledge was a hairy, bent
creature who hunted with his
hands in much the same way as the
ape. His first step forward was in
the fashioning of crude implements

THE UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA,
Pershing Rifles Will
Drill Between Halves
Between halves of the Oregon
Nebraska game this afternoon the
Pershing Rifles, honorary military
organization for men taking the
basic course, will drill.
The drill will consist of march
ing and the presentation of the
Butts Manual, one of the best
known army exercises. This ex
ercise was perfected by Lieuten
ant Butts of the Fifth Infantry
and was first used at Fort Mc
Pherson. Lieutenant Butts was
assisted by Sergeant Linville and
Sergeant Kidwell, who is in charge
of military supplies at the Univer
sity. Sergeant Lewis, who in
structed the men in this manual,
received his training in it at army
posts in China and other parts of
the world.
ASK STUDENTS
NOT TO HAZE
Berge and Engberg Issue State
ments on Suppression of
Friday Battles.
LETTERS ARE MAILED
TO ALL FRATERNITIES
Students are urged by Wendell
Berge, president of the Innocents,
and Dean C. C. Engberg, to eliminate
hazing frpm the Olympics this year.
Dean Enebere and Berge are both in
favor of the event, and are concen
trating their efforts on its success.
Letters have been sent to all fra
ternities, asking them to do all in
their power to suppress hazing Fri
day night.
In a statement to the student body,
Dean Engberg said: "The annual
contest between the freshmen and
snnhomore classes will be held Satur
day morning, November 29, and we
all hope that it will be a contest
worth while a contest into which
both classes have put all their energy
and strength for the glory or their
class. A successful contest is not
possible, however, if 111 feeling is en
gendered by the overt acta oi tne
dav before, for the more dissipation
of energy there is the day before, the
less there is to use in full forco when
the proper time comes, a fact well-
known to all athletes. I am certain
that every member of the student
body will bear these facts in mind
nnH also remember that he is bound
by the rules of honor and personal
responsibility not to do anything tnat
may in any way bring discredit or
trouble to the good name of the Uni
versity." Wendell Berge stated: "The pur
pose of the Olympics is to settle
freshman-sophomore class diiier
ences for once and for all. All stu
dents in school who are real friends
of the Olympics idea will direct their
efforts to the organized events.
There should be no hazing Friday
night and any such attempts will be
viewed by the Innocents and other
organizations in charge oi the Olym
pics as tending to destroy the pur
pose of the events Saturday.

YESPERS ADDRESS
GIVEN BY PASTOR
Dr. Ray Hunt Answers Ques
tion, "What Is It That Gives
Worth to Life?"
"What is it that gives worth to
life?" asked Dr. Ray Hunt, pastor of
the First Christian church of Lin
coln, in his address at Vespers on
Tuesday evening in Ellen Smith
Hall. "The thing that gives worth to
life," he answered, "Is the doing of
something that has within itself eter
nal life. Give to life a great object
ive, devote it, dedicate it to a worthy
cause and you shall receive value as
you give it. Then when Thanksgiv
ing time comes, we shall find that
our greatest happiness has come
from the doing, for the sake of hu
manity, of a worthy thing."
Most of us suffer, asserted Dr.
Hunt, from a diversity of interests in
life and from a failure to appreciate
the real values of life. "The only
way In which we can bring unity into
our lives is to center all our activity
around one great worthy ideal."
Vespers this week took the form of
a ThBnkRgiving service. The hymns
by the choir and the special solo by
Grace Rogge, as well as the scrip
ture resding by the leader, Gertrude
Ebers, were suited to the occasion.
Team Goes Through Stiff Drill
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 27,
Excuse Classes For
Olympics Saturday
To All Officers of Instruction:
In accordance with the action of
the University Senate at its last
meeting, Saturday morning, No
vember 29, was set aside for the
annual Olympics contest between
the freshman and sophomore
classes, which classes are excused
from schoolwork on that day.
The Senate further ruled that,
because of the fact that Saturday
mornings are now used as fully as
any other day in the week for lab
oratories and, to a great extent,
for recitations, the Olympics must
in the future be held on Saturday
afternoons or on a holiday.

of the year," was what Wendell

"Indian" Schulte, Nebraska line
coach, said he was disappointed in
the small number of students who
were at the rally. Schulte said he
expected a hard game with the Ag
gies, and that those who are really
behind the team would have to do
their hit. "We want to win that
crame. and the team must nave tne
Rtudent body back of it," he said.
Leo Scherer, end on the 1922
team, talked to the students. Cap
tain Ed Weir was the last speaker at

JORGENSEN DEPICTS
"JAPANESE DISASTER
Tells of Conditions in Tokio
and Yokohama at Forum
Luncheon.
Conditions in Tokio and Yokohama
after the great Japanese earthquake
a vear aeo last September were de
scribed at the World Forum lunch
eon Wednesday noon at the Grand
hotel by Arthur Jorgensen, secretary
of the University Y. M. C. A., who-
was at that time connected with the
Japanese Y. M. C. A. in Tokio.
We arrived in Tokio about the
third day after the quake," said Mr.
Jorgensen, "and I have never viewed
a scene of such complete destruction
as we saw in Tokio. The greatest
damage was done, of course, by the
firp which followed the earthquake.
Tokio, as I had known it for twelve
years, was gone.
Mr. Jorgensen praised tne Japan
ese for the manner in which they
handled the relief wor'u They showed'
the greatest of courage and calmness
in the time of disaster h said, ine
food supply was acutely short, but
great quantities of rice were brougnt
in through the army supply system.
The Y. M. C. A.'s special taste was
to furnish mflk for the thousands oZ
starving babies.
