FALL EDITION OF PRAIR It SCHOONER Panthers Prepare For Saturday Tilt With Cornhuskers 0 YESTERDAY Short Story by Harry West Characterizes Small Town Banker. NEW WRITER APPEARS Instructor Writes Poem in German Tongue; Reduce Size of Publication. "Little. Jliin," a short story by llnrry Leslie West, fresh man in law college, is featured in the fall issue of the Prairie Schooner, literary publication of the university which was released yesterday. The maga zine makes its appearance this year in a smaller size than that customary in the past because of a restricted budget. The story by West characterizes the difficulties of a small town hanker who is unable to weather the financial difficulties of recent years. West is one of the five University of Nebraska men who are candidates for the Rhodes scholarship to Oxford university for 1934. Contributes Poem. Carl Kilander, instructor in the German department, has a poem in the book written in German en titled. "Des Knaben Weihnacht slied" meaning "The Boy's Christ man Song." It is the reminiscences of a boy of all the things that are a part of the Christmas celebration and the memories it evokes.

A new writer to be represented in the Prairie Schooner is Jean Thomas, from Kentucky, who des cribes the night school that her mother conducted in the kitchen of their cottage in the Kentucky foot hills for the children of the neigh borhood. The story behind the pic ture is the opportunity that a young man who had no education took to attending the kitchen night school and the joy the teacher de (Continued on Page 4.) 7 RUSHERS LEAVE THURSDAY MORNING AMID CHEERS OF ENTHUSIASTIC STUDENTS 1700 Yelling Students Meet At Bonfire Rally Behind University Coliseum. CAPTAINS GIVE SPEECHES PITTSBURGH, Nov. 15. (.?). Tan- tales of tall Cornhuskers bending back opposition ends have brought decisive action on the part of Coach Jock Sutherland to strengthen Pittsburgh's defense for Saturday's clash with Ne braska. Preparing for the invasion of the Big Six conference champions Sutherland promoted Bob Tim- mons to varsity left end as a re ward for his sterling play against Duquesnc last week. Harvey Rooker, the regular wing man went back to the second team for a while at least. Pitt also is working to perfect a defense against Nebraska's widely heralded passing attack, al though passes have not been ex tremely effective against the Pan- uiers this season.

Reed of the university, 30 students in his class in mental measurements, and by Omaha Municipal university students has been conducting tests -to mental alertness, personality, and intelli gence as part of the state-wide Nebraska loung: citizens contest, The five boys and five girls chosen as winners from among the twenty-six boys and twenty- six girls competing were an nounced last night at a banquet at the Hotel Fontenelle. The Omaha World-Herald and American Le gion sponsor the competition an nually, with high school students from all over the state entered. Two boys and two girls are se lected to represent each of the thirteen American Legion districts in the state, after taking prelim inary tests in their respective dis tricts. About Normal. "Several ot the contestants showed by the intelligence tests, a mental level from thirty to forty percent above the normal for high school students," stated Dr. Kor- dvee, "and their emotional poise, as measured by the personality scale, indicates that about a dozen of the group have an emotional balance of unusual magnitude. All of these facts suggest that these youths are the very cream of the high schools from which they come." Give Personality Test. The personality test, which in eluded 77 questions, is a very com prehensive and inclusive examina tion. Some samples from the list are: Do you take responsibility for introducing people at a party : Do you have difficulty in start ing a conversation with a stran ger? Do you keep in the background on social occasions? Have you found books more in teresting than people? Do you get tired of amusements quickly? If you came late to a meeting would you rather stand or leave than take a front seat? Do you feel tired most of the time? Would you say you are cynical (Continued on Page 4.)

Student spirit reached its high est pitch of the year Wednesday night as more than 2,000 enthusi astic students paraded about the campus, stopped to cheer for their team at the first bonfire rally of the year, and then stampeded thru Lincoln's downtown streets in a huge display of pep on the eve of the Huskers' "departure for Pitts burgh. It was a rally such as has sel dom been sen at Nebraska in re cent years and was in direct con trast to the meager display of spirit two years ago when a great Nebraska team left for Pitt, only to be defeated 40 to 0 for the worst loss in Husker history. Corn Cobs and Tassels, men's and women's pep organizations, had gret diffi culty restraining the throng and keeping the rally organized Wed nesday as it moved thru the streets with increasing enthusiasm, echoi ing the Husker battle cry of "Beat Pitt!" 1,700 at Fire. Three hundred students had gathered at the Temple by 7:30 as the rally got under way under direction of Tassels and Corn Cobs and led by the R. O. T. C. band. Traversing the usual route east to 16th, then up fraternity and so rority row, the procession made its way to the north side of the coli seum where some 1.700 students had assembled at a bonfire pre pared by members of Corn Cobs. Under direction of cheer leaders the crowd gave several yells, sang the fight songs while the band played, and then broke into an up roarious cheer as George Sauer and Clair Bishop, game captains for the Pitt tussle were introduced. Other members of the team were presented also. Leaving the scene of the fire, Corn Cobs and Tassels formed a snake dance and led the procession down 12th st., followed by the band and a multitude of cheering stu dents and shrieking automobiles. Traffis was tied up temporarily as the huge procession took posses sion of the city's main thorofare for a short time. The rally com pletely eclipsed all previous dem onstrations of the year as the cam pus and city rang with the de termined cry of "Beat Pitt." A send-off rally for the team was scheduled to take place at the Burlington station at 6:45 this morning. Despite the earliness of the hour, indications Wednesday night were that a large crowd i would be in attendance. Lloyd i Loomis, rally chairman, and Anne i Bunting and Henry Kosman, pres-! idents of the pep groups, issued ! an appeal to all students Wednes day night to turn out for the send off demonstration. !

BY GREGG M'BRIDE. Sport tt rlicr. The 1933 Nebraska Cornliuskers, in traveling to Pitt this weekend, have an opportunity to write their names in big letters in University of Nebraska football history. In meeting the Panthers, Ne braska Is carrying the double re sponsibility of representing the Scarlet and Cream and also carry ing the colors of the Big Six con ference into eastern territory to meet the leading team of that sec tion. A little more than ten years ago a band of Nebraska griddors headed eastward and startled the eastern scribes by humbling a strong Pitt eleven. This same op portunity awaits the Huskers this week and by playing 100 percent football the 1933 varsity can du plicate this feat. BY MUNRO KEZER. AftHurialrd Vres pitrls Wrili-r. The Cornhuskers face their most serious test thus far against Pitts burgh. Both teams are abundantly supplied with veterans and have shown themselves to rank among the nation's best. Nebraska may not win this game but one thing is sure the Cornhuskers will play the best football of the season, and that's all anybody could ask. We'll hope it's good enough. BY JOHN BENTLEY.

They're head ing for Panther hollow in Pitts burgh where they meet Jock Suth erland's Pitt eleven Saturday aft ernoon. What's going to be the out come ? That's the question that has fur rowed brows in this community since the Huskers have continued along the unbeaten path. We're going line and bobber for the Huskers. If Lee Penney were available we would go hook, line and bobber. Nebraska came within an ace of walloping Pitt last year. Our opin ion is that the Nebraska eleven is more improved this year than the Panther, despite the fact that Pitt has been beaten but once all sea son, and that reverse coming early in October at the hands of a fine Minnesota team. We look for a toe to toe classic that should find two sets of fast backs trying to puncture impreg nable defenses. Somebody will make a mistake before the sixty minutes ends and that will prob ably mean the ball game. Maybe a (Continued on Page 4.

Members of the chaim school and freshmen hobby groups took a trip through the capitol building Tuesday evening. John Edwards, the special guide, gave accounts of Interesting features and told stories of their origins. Girls met at the mam entrance of the capitol, from there they progressed, with the guide, through the senate and house chambers. The stories told on the walls in sculptoring and painting were taken special notice of, and also the forms and designs of architecture. Designs Interest Clubs. The governor's reception room, the rooms where the supreme court convenes, and the design of the building seemed to interest the group most. Through the co-oper ation of Harry f. conKiin, com missioner of public lands and buildings, the group was given the privilege of going to the highest part of the tower to view Lincoln from the highest available place in the capitol.
