driver of a milk wagon, scene
shifter in a theater, and truck
operator at a brick kiln. At the
age of 17, he left Galesburg to
travel west, where he worked in
the Kansas wheat fields, washed
dishes in hotels in Kansas City,
Omaha and Denver and served as
a carpenter's helper. Finally, he
returned to Galesburg to appren
tice himself to a house painter.
At the outbreak of the Spanish
American war, he enlisted in the
Sixth Illinois infantry and was
pent to Porto Rico where he re
mained for eight months. During
his service he met a youth who
persuaded him to continue his edu
cation and so when he returned
in 1893 he attended Lombard col
lege in Galesburg. During the
four years at college, Mr. Sand
burg was the captain of the col
lege basketball team and editor
of the college monthly magazine
and annual.
After his graduation from col
lege, Carl Sandburg traveled
around the country engaged in
various occupations. During this
time, he was continually writing
poetry. In 1914, he was awarded
the Levinson priae by the maga
zine, Poetry, for the poem "Chi
cago." Two years later, he pub
lished his first volume, "Chicago
roems." In 1919 and 1921 Mr.
Sandburg shared half the award
of the Poetry Society of America.
In 1923, he was given the honor
ary degree of doctor of literature
by Lombard college, and in 1928
he was Phi Beta Kappa poet at
Harvard university.
In 1926, Mr. Sandburg com
pleted his first biographical work,
"Abraham Lincoln The Prairie
Years," which is the first of a
three volume comprehensive study
of Lincoln. It is the product of
long, patient, and persistent re
search on the part of the author.

of 36,000 fans was dampened by
the spectacle of two players being
carried out of the arena on stretch
ers. Huskcr Fullback Mcllravy and
Halfback Gmitro of Minnesota
were both injured on the same
play.
Bierman pulled one out of the
hat for the play that opened the
final period. Dusky Horace Boll,
kicked a field goal from Nebras
ka's 23 yard line. Taking advan
tage of breaks, Mr. Jones' boys
changed the count from 9 to 7
against them to 14 to 9 in their
favor, when Andrews heaved a
counter to Callihan for a 25 yard
winning play.
Matheny Fumbles.
Early in the second quarter the
Ncbraskan's recovered a Noise
fumble as Bill Mathency, sub for
Uram, dropped Howell's boot on
his own 24 yard line when he
was tackled viciously by Lloyd
Grim mand Charley Brock. The
thud of the collision could be heard
in the pressbox.
With the fans yelling, "We want
a touchdown," Jack Dodd was put
on a reverse play that lost him
six yards. Not to be detered by
Dodd's loss, Howell, on a double
reverse, picked up seven yards,
being stopped by Lawrence Buhler.
A penalty on Minnesota took place.
Howell took the gain.
Harris Andrews' pass to Dohr
mann failed. It was fourth down
and eight yards tc go. Still un
daunted, Howell took the pass
from renter and flung the oval to
Grimm, who leaped high Into the
air to snatch the pellet and make
it a first down for the Huskers
on the M. U. nine yard mark.
Dodd Picks Up Three.
Driving into the middle of the
line like a water buffalo, Howell
picked up three yards. On the
next move Dodd lost one yard but
ticked ud seven yards on a
repeat assignment.
The Huskers were but one foot
short of pay ground. The fans
began to clamor for a tally.
Johnny satiated the demands of
the fans as he powerhoused his
way thru the Gopher forward wall
for a touchdown. The stadium be
came a bedlam as Lowell English
sent the ball thru the uprights
for a successful conversion to give
the Huskers a 7-6 margin.
Three minutes of playing time
ha hern used by the Joncsmen
in filching their touchdown.
The half ended with Nebraska
still clinging to it narrow lead
of one point. It was in the third
period that Eldon Mcllravy,
Husker fullback, and Rudy
Gmitro, Gopher halfback, were
carried off the greensward on
stretchers. Attempting to down
Howell's punt on the Minnesota
20 yard stripe, Mcllravy collided
with a Gopher blocker while
Gmitro ran into a sturdy
Husker.
Mcllravy to Hospital.
Mcllravy was taken to a hos
pital where his case was diagnosed
as a brain concussion. Gmitro re
covered after the game but will
be unable to play for a few weeks.
After a concerted drive, Bier
man's gridmen put the ball on the
Husker 17 yard mark as the third
quarter ended. On the first play of
the final period. Horace Bell,
Negro guard, dropped back to the
23 yard line and sent a perfect
place kick thru the bars to give
Minnesota a 9-7 lead.
A Gopher fumble, early in the
fourth quarter, brought Minnesota
its first defeat of '37. Harold Van
Every, Viking sophomore back, in
attempting to handle Bill Andre
son's punt dropped the ball and
Callihan recovered for N. U. Their
running plays were being stopped,
the Huskers resorted to the air
lanes.
Bill Callihan took a 25 yard pass
from Andrews for the winning
touchdown of the game. English's
toe made it 14-9, Nebraska.
For Nebraska the outstanding
players were Brock, Shirey, Eng
lish, Howell, Dohrmann and Calli
han. Major Jones said the whole
team played sterling ball. For
Minnesota, Spadaccini, Gmitro and
Buhler scintillated.

Engineering Publication
Changes Distribution
System for 1937.
All freshmen in the engineering
college have been canvassed by
subscription salesmen for the Blue
Print, engineering publication,
with 120 men, nearly half the
class, subscribing. The campaign
among the upper classes, now in
progress, is expected to run thru
most of next week.
The goal set of 250 seems well in
sight according to Barton Berg, in
charge of student and faculty sub
scriptions. To attain a class A
rating, the publication must have
a circulation equal to at least 30
percent of the enrollment in the
college.
List Salesmen.
Salemen now working include
Gilbert R. Golding among archi
tectural and architectural engine
ering students, Jay L. King and
Francis R. Loetterle among chemi
cal engineers, Harold Turnbull and
Clarence Lewis among; civil en
gineers, Harold Turnbull and
Clarence Lewis among civil en
gineers, James Riisness, Bernard
Dalton, and Harold Bishop among
electrical engineers, and Frank
Cole, Ellis Smith, Raymond Bailey,
Elton Wiley, and Jack Dowling
among mechanical engineers.
Salesmen for the agricultural en
gineering department have not yet
been selected, but should be an
nounced in the near future.
A new method of distribution
will be effected this year for the
magazine. Instead of the stand in
mechanical arts building which
was not convenient for all sub
scribers, copies will be distributed
to various salesmen, each of
whom will be responsible for a
certain number of students re
ceiving their copies.
First issue of the Blue Print is
scheduled to be out by Oct. 10.

some time lay unnoticed back at
the line of scrimmage. Witnesses
said that the youth was on his
feet after the play but walked in
a circle, and fell motionless to the
ground. He was carried from the
field on a stretcher to the Nebras
ka dressing room. When the lad
stopped breathing for several sec
onds, great concern was taken for
his life.
Attending the game were Mc-
Ilravy's parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Frank Mcllravy, who ran to the
dressing rooms immediately. He
also has a brother, Noel of Lin
coln, and a sister, Bernice, of Te-cumseh.

John C. Page Addresses
Engineering College
At Convocation.
As in other years the university
is exchanging a student with a
school in France. This year the
French government has given Miss
Vera Kelley of Wood River a grant
covering maintenance and tuition
at the University of Grenoble. In
exchange Nebraska is receiving
Mme. Simone Thierry who will
reside at Carrie Bell Raymond
hall. Also studying in Paris this
year is Robert Stookey of Rush-
ville.
Persistent water conservation is
the way out of the heartaches of
drouth for such states as Ne
braska, declared John C. Page,
commissioner of the U. S. bureau
of reclamation, in a talk yesterday
morning before an all engineering
college convocation.
Nebraska presents a peculiar
and perplexing problem, stated
Mr. Page who graduated from the
university in 1908, because even in
normal weather its lands are
partly humid, partly arid, and
partly in a sort of "twilight zone."
Construction of such projects as
those intended to furnish water
for power and irrigation on the
Platte and Loup rivers is probably
one of the best ways to conserve
water in places where it is not
plentiful the year round.
Mr. Page spoke of Boulder dam
on which we worked as chief ad
ministrative assistant. That proj
ect was attacked as being imprac
tical and foolish at the time of its
construction, he said, but is now
fulfilling all and more than was
claimed for it, after being built in
record time.
Mr. Page explained that the bu
reau which he heads has been the
chief agency in conserving water
in arid and semi-arid legions of
the country for more than a gen
eration. At the present time, it has
nearly 40 projects in operation and
more than a score in construction.
To lay the foundations for what
may prove another outstanding
campus activity, an honorary so
ciety for advanced students in the
engineering military regiment, 25
members of the advanced engi
neering military course met by
common consent last Thursday in
Nebraska hall.
Temporarily presided over by
Jay King, the group elected How
ard Nuerenberger president. John
Cramer and . Thomas Edwards
were chosen vice president and
secretary-treasurer. The new pres
ident then appointed a central
committee to draw up a constitu
tion and plan a distinctive insig
nia for the group. Jay King, as
chairman, and John Toole, John
Pease and Franklin Howard were
also instructed to prepare a list
of names for the organization to
be voted on by the members of the
society.
All advanced engineering stu
dents are asked to watch the bul
letin boards and this newspaper
for announcements of the next
meeting.
