KAGGI HUSKER HONORS SENIORS General Pershing Little Dreamed 42 Years Ago That His Picked Company Was Later to Become a National Unit Fort y-t line years ago when General Pershing, then a sec ond lieutenant in the Sixth Cavalry and professor of military science here, formed a picked company of men of the R. 0. T. C. unit, little did he know thnt this was the beginning of a national honorary basic drill organization which would extend from New York to California and from Min-O nesota to Tennessee and would be named after its originator, "Pershing Rifles." The following year, this com pany won a drill competition at Omaha, and in 1893 it became a fraternal organization bearing the name of "Varsity Rifles." The next year tlx? group changed its name to Pershing Rifles in appreciation of the initiative and co-operation of Lieutenant Pershing. When Pershing left Nebraska in 1895, he gave to the company a pair of his cavalry breeches. These breeches were cut into small pieces and were worn on the uniform as a sign of membership. These "rib bons" were the first service rib bons ever worn in the United States. As the First Nebraska Volun teers, thirty members of the Pershing Rifles enlisted during the Spanish-American war. W. H. THANKSGIVING DECLARATION. Each recurring year since that first day in 1G20 when Gov ernor Bradford issued the call bringing the Pilgrims together for prayer and thanksgiving we have been called together to give thanks for our many blessings. From the poverty and want that surrounded our pilgrim fathers we have come to opulence and wealth'. We may not be individually wealthy, but we share the bounties of a society rich in material goods and rich in opportunity. We may enjoy the comfort which invention and modern in dustry has provided for all, the culture of a modern city with its libraries, its churches, its magnificent capitol, its univer sity. We have friends whom we enjoy, a family circle dear to us. Most of all we have courage, optimism and buoyant youth, with which to face the future. The door of opportunity stands open to all who intelligently seek its portals. This is a land where by strenuous endeavor we may achieve. We have cause to thank God for all these blessings.

Oury, captain of the company then, and now colonel la the regular aimy at the head of the drill unit here, was placed in command. From 1900 to 1911 Pershing Rifles was one of the roost impor tant features of Nebraska military and social life. But after that date interest declined and the organiza tion became only a semblance of its former importance. In 1917 con ditions grew worse and the com pany was disbanded and its rec ords burned. Thus all the progress which had been made seemed to have gone for naught, and this so ciety had pabsed from national re nown to oblivion. Pershing Rifles was formed again in 1920 and its rapid re growth was almost as remarkable as its downfall. By 1924 ipecial drill companies all over the coun try began to seek admittance into (Continued on Page 4.) DUCATS ON SALE DEC HOST HEALTH Dr. R. A.

This paper will be published in the near future as Bulletin 12 of the con- servation and survey division. FOR KANSAS PEPSTERS a last stumbling block in the I tusker's search for a now title, but they loom formidably in the path. They, too, are unbeaten in league competition, and won most of their games handily, but Ne braska is as determined to prove their superiority to the 3934 Big Six teams as is Kansas State to enjoy a title. The Kaggies have never partaken of the sweet fruit of a championship, and it usually has been Nebraska that kept them from it. As competitors, they are greatly respected by the Scarlet, whom they have held closer and more consistently than have other valley schools, it was a Kansas State team that, in 1930, knocked the Nebraskans out of participa tion in the title by plastering a 10 to 9 defeat on them at home. That was the last defeat suffered by a Nebraska football squad in Big Six games, altho those same Kan sas Staters have come mighty close to making history. Kaggies May Make History. Next Thursday, when the rest of the world is thinking about that big turkey just consumed, Lyn Waldorf's men may make history, according to the dope bucket. But where the dope bucket points against the Huskers, it has often been kicked about, and all those nicely propounded theories about who should win splashed about th; gridiron. That has been the case too often this year for Nebraska fans to take any stock on what the experts say. The Wildcats will yowl their way into Lincoln favorites, how ever, more on their showing against Iowa State while Nebraska was held to a single touchdown win by Missouri than from any previous prowess expressed. Their howls will be for Cornhuskers blood before the referee calls his men together, and after those two hours of pushing and shoving on the greensward they will be either silenced except for a few organ ized yelps when an over-enthusias-( Continued on Page 3.)
