VOL.. XIV. NO. 22. UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA, LINCOLN, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1914. PRICE 5 CENTS. i - . 1 ,1 .1 TALOO JESTERS CENTRAL AMFRICAN PROFESSORS GO BARE-FOOTED. FRANK HARRISON WAS THERE Brought Back to United States a Book of Ferns Now in Botany Depart ment Dr. Bessey1 Known There. The Department of Forestry of the University gave the Forestry Club a fine treat in the form of a lecture by Dr. Frank Harrison. Tha lecture given by Mr. Harrison was on Central Amer ica, and was made extraordinarily in teresting by the ude of about seventy five colored elides. In his lecture Mr. Harrison brought out many things of especial interest such as the various forms of plant life. The professors of Central America are called "Bane-footed Professors." The average college professor there receives about $23 dollars a month for his work, which would hardly be press agent money for the usual (American co-worker of education. Many speci mens of plants and native work were shown, such as canes dyed with a secret dye, the formula of which no one has ever been able to find. Mr. Harrison stated that he himself trtea to find this out but was also unsuccess ful. He also explained how the ma hogany crop was controlled by two companies, which are in partnership. If any other company tries to set up in business its ships sink before they cross the Galf of M'exico. " Mr. Harrison brought a book of ferns with him which he had bought from a "bare-foot professor. He showed these ferns to Dr. Bessey and the doctor said ther were many there he had never seen before. The col lection was purchased by the botanical department. Many native fruits, nuts, weeds and other articles were ex hibited also. "Dr. Bessey is known and read even in the place where the densest ignor ance along other lines Is shown. He is taken as authority and his opinion is the last word in an argument," says Mr. Harrison. The lecture was very interesting in every detail and was, greatly appreci ated by the Forestry Club, which takes this n.eans to thank the department for their kindness in bringing Mr. Har rison here. f (71 UAL E3f F t - ffe?-:HP -35 m v4 JCJ W O L-T 9 'r' ineni SEnW HfflOMW.

The Yannigans, Using Formations Popular With the Kansas Farm ers, Score Twice on the Varsity Team. By H. I. Kyle. The third exhibition game was played yesterday before an enthusi astic crowd of perhaps four nunarea rooters. With the field muddy ana the air cold and damp, the playing was slow and erratic. After a half- hour of hard scrimmaging, most of the varsity regulars were relieved, their places being filled by second string men. The opposing team was a com bination of scrubs and freshmen, and a right merry little tussle they gave the would-be champions. Herb Potter was at the wheel for the 'varsity during the early stages of the encounter- and guided the Huskers hiehlv satisfactory to the lit U. y assembled fans. His work at return ing punts was especially pleasing. The forward pass was tried several times by the first team, but with only a fair degree of success, the gains be ing small, even when a pass was com pleted. The came ended with the score somewhere in the neighborhood of 30 to 14 in favor of the 'Varsity ex ponents. The scrubs used plays and formations noted by Coach Hoenei ai the Kansas Aggie-Normal game, Sat urday, as being the ones most relied upon by the Aggies, this being done to accustom the Cornhuskers to the style of attack they will probably be met with next Saturday.
