The committee in. charge of the ar
rangements for The All University
Night report that plans are going for
ward rapidly and that the evening of
November 13th will be one long to be
remembered. The program will be so
varted that everyone will have some
thing to do no matter what his or
her ideas , may be concerning a good
time. Various stunts have been ar
ranged so that everyone will be ac
commodated. The Innocents have arranged for the
usual parade before the Kansas game
to start earlier than usual so that it
will not Interfere at all with the par
ticipants taking part In the social time
afterwards. In fact the entertainment
for the evening will be sort of a con
tinuation of the celebration of the
opportunity to humble the Jayhawk
ers. Part of the program will take the
form of a demonstration on what we
will do to Kansas on Saturday. ,
Twenty-five cents will be charged
per person and everyone will be wel
come whether they come singly, In
pairs or in groups. - Indeed the com
mittee stated that the students were
not even urged to come in couples.
Fifty girls have pledged themselves
to come unaccompanied and no doubt
expect to find that fifty young men
have come in a like capacity. Of
course it is not our duty to offer any
suggestions to the young men!
This is the first attempt at an All
University night and it depends upon
the students themselves whether
there will be more in the future. It is
hoped that the entertainment will ac
quaint the students with each other
and thus unify university sentiment
and spirit. There is no particular or
ganization back of the idea, it orig
inated from the students and is for the
students and by the students. .

port of a T. W. C. A. secretary in
China. If so, many of them will be

JACK REST RELATES
BOYHOOD STORIES
Gives Many Amusing Experiences of
Childhood in the Following One
He Played Leading Role.
It was with a great deal of pleasure
that one of the reporters sat in the
gymnasium last Saturday and listened
to Jack Best relate some of his boy
hood (experiences. He (the reporter),
could hardly help but wish that he
might take a trip across the ocean and
spend some days with old Jack In the
country where these good times were
had.
One experience that Jack has prob
ably newr related and would in all
probability not have related during
the conversation, had he known that
it would appear in print, was the fact
that one day while In the company of
some of his friends on a three mile
hike, he, while trying to jump acrocs
a "beautiful and clear little brook,"
fell in. "The embarrassing part of the
whole affair," said Jack, "is that while
I was standing in the cold water up to
my waist and only slippery banks in
front of me the other fellows only
stood there and had a good laugh at
my expense."

TELLS WAR STORY
PROFESSORS FRYE AND GASS HAD
RARE EXPERIENCES.
WAS VERY GLAD TO GET OUT
Arrived on the Scene Just as the War
Began Had Difficulty in Getting
Gold For Their
Purchases.
lAn interesting impression, typical of
those received by American travelers
in Germany during the recent precipi
tation of war, comes with the return
of Professors Frye and Gass of the
Rhetoric Department from their so
joTmTin Germany and Holland.
They arrived in Berlin on the 30th
of June, where they heard for the first
time of the assassination of the Arch
duke of Austria. The first indication
of threatened war was on the 29th of
July in the form of an extra "Blaetter,"
copies of which were brought into a
restaurant while they were dining. The
news announced the refusal of Servia
to submit to Austria's demands. At
the time, they did not consider the
possibility of the trouble spreading
beyond the borders of Austria and
Servia. A significant thing happened,
however, on the 30th of July. When
drawing some money from the bank,
no gold was to be had. The desire
to retain gold was well founded, for
on the afternoon of the next day
the 31st notices were posted of
Kriegszustand or state of threatened
war. On the same day martial law
was proclaimed and the military de
partment took over control of govern
ment. Great excitement was im
mediately precipitated, and prices
soared like meteors. Three hours later
the Commander of the Mark issued a
maximum price for staples, and no one
was allowed to sell for more. Soon
many shopkeepers began to refuse
paper money, but the Commander im
mediately issued an edict making it a
crime to refuse money. At the same

WAS HOI CRUSHED
MORNINGSIDE GIVES CORNHUSK
ERS GOOD PRACTICE.
MAROONS GET TOUCHDOWN
Whole Second Team Plays in the
Last Period and Makes a Touch
down on Straight
Football.
By H. I. Kyle.
The Morningsiders went the way the
riest had gone before. They didn't
have the right kind of a machine to
"crush the Cornhuskers," though they
managed to score a touchdown on the
second team, just before the final
whistle blew. As usual, the Scarlet
and Cream bunch had a little trouble
gletting started, no scoring being done
by either side in the first quarter, but
they came to, early in the second
period, and from then on, gains of
from 5 to 20 yards.were the rule.
The first touchdown came when
Allen, the Maroon fullback, fumbled a
punt which rolled across Morningside's
goal line, where Capt. Halligan re
covered it. This score, it is true, was
in the nature of a fluke, but it was
followed, immiediately, by a touchdown
which came as a result of straight
football, the ball being carried from
Nebraska's 35 yard line, right down
the field to the enemy's 35 yard line,
from which point Halligan smashed
through, on the famous tackle-back
play, to a touchdown.
Straight football in the third period,
again brought a touchdown, Dick
Rutherford carrying the ball over the
line. For the first time this season.
Capt. Halligan failed in his attempt
to kick goal. However, one point
makes little difference, in a score of
34. Again in the last quarter, Halli
gan broke through the Morningsidei de
fense, and ran sixty-five yards, for the
fourth touchdown.
(A complete change was then made
in the Cornhusker line-up, and the
scrubs, with Porter, Selzer, Doyle, and
Caley in the backflield, fought their
way across the chalk-lines to another
touchdown, Caley following Halber
slaben through center for the score.
The Maroons recovered Caley's fum
ble, immediately after the kick-off,
and scored, a moment later, with a 25
yard forward pass, "Williams to Ver
non, who fell over Nebraska's goal line
for Morningside's only score.
