It was. Lieut. S. M. Parker, U. S. A.,

UNIVERSITY YELLS

feat Michigan Aggies.
There has been considerable discus
sion in school lately on the subject of
football yells. Some people have
said, "Let's have new yells which do
not sound like a high school yell."
If some of the same people would sit
down and try to figure out a good,
peppy yell they would see the diffi
culty of keeping away from the high
school article. Besides thls. if you
would chase way back into the rusty
corners of your career you will re
member that the old high school yells
of other days were modeled largely
upon those of Harvard, Princeton and
Vale. This is altogether natural, in
asmuch as these schools have had
Jells as long as such things have ex
isted and ought to almost know bow
to frame one up. Lets have some
yells that are -go-getters, but lets
don't expect to set the world afire all
in a bunch.

important and interesting factor in
the course. '.Minnesota aDily.

NEBRASKA SONG
The Call for Yells Brings in a New
Song Dedicated to the Uni
versity of Nebraska.
The request for a good Nebraska
yell has brought forth not only numer
ous yells, but a new Nebraska song.
The song is called "Nebraska" and is
dedicated 'to the "University of Ne
braska" by Nathan Bernstein, its com
poser. Mr. Bernstein has been con
nected with the music department of
the Omaha High School for some
years and, recognizing Nebraska's
need, has come forth with this num
ber. It is rumored that several other
new songs are about to put in their
appearance, so the market ought to
be well supplied.

Pittsburg, one of the great centers
of engineering, is planning to become
a center of. . engineering education.
The University of Pittsburg is now
offering an evening course in en
gineering for graduates of reputable
colleges. Students who meet certain
requirements will be eligible for a
regular engineering degree.
COMMERCIAL CLUB
HASJIRST MEETING
Met Friday Evening at Temple Fac
ulty Members and Students Give
Give Lively Talks.
The University Commercial Club
held its first meeting of this school
year in the Faculty Hall of the Tem
ple, Friday evening. Thirty-five men
from the School of Commerce, besides
the professors of the department,
were present. A goodly number of
first year men turned out for this
affair, which goes to show that the
commerce department is live and has
some coming live ones enrolled in it.
An Interesting program was given.
President O. E. Taylor called the meet
ing to order and introduced the fol
lowing speakers, who gave snappy, in
teresting talks: Professors LeRossig
nol, Virtue and Martin; Messrs.
Koupal and Filippi. An explanation
of the origin and purpose of the or
ganization was given for the benefit
of the new men. The evening was
wound up with music and refresh
ments of an elaborate nature. Every
body got acquainted with everybody
else and it is suspicioned that most
everybody had a good time.
PRE-MEDIC SMOKER
DECIDED SUCCESS
Will Have Speeches From Prominent
Physicians in Near Future Hun
dred Medics at Nebraska.
The pre-medics held a smoker at
the Delta Upsilon house Friday night
and turned out a good-sized bunch. A
short business meeting was held. V.
Dackin was elected treasurer. The
Pre-Medic Society was organized with
twenty-two charter members and
membership cards issued. An even
ing of good old stunts followed, with
Oden at the piano. Refreshments
cigars and aqua pura followed.
President Updegraff then gave a short
speech welcoming the freshmen into
the ranks of the society. A trip and
meeting at the Orthopedic Hospital,
with a lecture by Dr. Orr, was prom
ised in the near future.
The society faces a banner year,
with a hundred medics at Nebraska.
The calendar takes in lectures by
seven of the most prominent profes
sors and physicians of Lincoln and
Omaha. A medic dance, picnic, a
medic week, and a trip to Omaha all
loom up in the coming year. The
medic pins will soon appear on the
campus and Nebraska College of Medi
cine promises to rank with the best.
A Joke.
Dean Hastings is inclined to take
exceptions to the statement in the
Daily Nebraskan, namely: "A 6titch
in time saves the whole sock." The
Dean admits, however, that a stitch
in time may save a more or less holey
sock.

They came, they saw, the-
Well,
what did they do? We might say
they tried mighty hard, but their ef
forts availed them naught. They
played the grand old game in all its
phases, and they played each phase
with variations. . For years the cun
ning Coyotes have been preparing the
soil, selecting the seed, and otherwise
making ready for the feast that they
fondly hoped was to be theirs, when
next they met the stalwart Cornhusk
ers. For two months they have been
cultivating the crop and rehearsing
the harvest scene, but, alas, they
reaped a measly goose-egg.
Truth compels me to admit that we
shall have to appease our own fierce
appetite for the flesh of the coyote
with a similar diet, but we rather
fancy that our fowl-fruit has the bet
ter flavor.
Two goose-eggs. Each takes one.
Fair enough.
Nebraska fans have every reason to
be hopeful from the way the Huskers
handled themselves Saturday. The
old Nebraska defense, the ability to
"hold 'em," when a failure to "hold
'em" meant a score, was there with
the gilt edges on it. And when the
rooters rose from their seats and
begged the team to "block that, kick,"
which would have meant humiliation
and defeat if it had not been blocked,
the desperate Cornhuskers tore
through the strong Coyote line as
though it didn't exist, and actually did
block the kick.
