The Daily Nebra VOL. XIV. NO. 45. UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA. LINCOLN, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1914. PRICE 5 CENTS. CAMPUS EXTENSION THREE MILLION DOLLARS TO BE EXPENDED FOR BUILDINGS. NOTHING DEFINITELY DECIDED Probably Will Close Twelfth Street Old University Hall Will Re main According to Plans. Within a reasonable length of time the University -will begin to expend its appropriation of three million dol lars for the extension of the campus and the erection of more than a score of new buildings. No definite action has been taken yet Chancellor of the national association of state universities at Princeton, N. J. The board of regents will hold their first meeting since the election on Monday. November 23d. At that time they will consider the two plans submitted and will decide whether or not they will use them. One of the plans leaves Twelfth street open and does not propose to tear down University Hall. The other plan closes Twelfth street and does away with University Hall. This lat ter plan has a large court in the mid dle with, the buildings grouped around it. Of course it is impossible to antici pate which of the plans will be used. m case either or them is. but it is probable that the one which closes Twelfth street will meet with the most approval because it does not take up so much territory. Land is so high in this dontown position that it must be used carefully. Both plans specify for the erection of approximately twenty-five new buildings. One plan has twenty-seven buildings all to other, the other thirty-one. The matter has been one of too much importance to delay the com mencement of extension now that the uaestion is settled. Within1 eight or ten years the University of Nebraska should have as fine a group of build ings as any college in America.

FLYING SQUADRON CAMPAIGN CLOSES Governor Hadley and Other National Characters Speak Audiences Are Enthusiastic. The Flying Squadron, the big prohi bition campaign which has been in ses sion in St. Paul's church since Satur day, closed last night. Governor Had ley, and several other national speak ers gave very interesting talks and many prohibition songs were sung by the enthusiastic crowds. It is hoped by many that the results of this campaign will be very noticeable an-1 effective. PAST SCORES PREDICT JAYHAWKER'S VICTORY Results of Former Games Give Kansas 153 Chances to Nebraska's 143. The Kansas college paper went to the trouble of comparing the former scores of the Nebraska-Kansas games and were audacious enough to prophecy that the Jayhawks would win as they had 153 chances to 143 for the Scarlet and Cream. . It seems that they missed their "callations" worse than the Frosh engineers missed some of theirs in the past semester exams although that hardly seems possible. Next year perhaps the inhabitants of the state where the palace of the winds is located will be more con servative in the predictions that they turn loose to the winds of that state as this blew up to this institution and it is now being usedas an example of how the Jayhawk got a tin bill in order to pick up a forward pass. The Jayhawks are to be congratulated upon their ability to see into the future, they are veritable seers and their predictions rival those of the weather man. Commercial Club at Iowa. A new club has just been organized at Iowa to be known as the "Commer cial Club of the State University of Iowa." It plans to do work similar in character to that done by the Commer cial Club here at Nebraska. FRESHMEN LAWS MEET TODAY AT ELEVEN Will Make Arrangements For a Smoker to be Held in the Near Future Committee to be Appointed. The president of the Freshmen Iaw class has called a meeting of the class for this morning. The meeting will be held in the Freshman Law Room at l':.V. A general diecussion will be indulged in concerning a smoker to be held soon. The smoker will be for the purpose of getting acquainted and also for a general good time. The Freshman Un are starting in right this year and will no doubt even equal the present Senior Law class in two years.Tbat will be going some also because Dr. Maxey states that the present Senior class is the best one .hlrh r listened to his lectures since the class of 1913-19H left the University At tomorrow's meeting a committee will be appointed to look after the de tails of the coming entertainment. There will probably be several of these get-together meetings during the school year. II II CONTRIBUTES TO THE LITERA TURE OF THE LAW. EMPLOYERS' LIABILITY ACT I Thirty-Five Page Pamphlet is Brief But Comprehensive Discusses Tendency of the Courts. The literature of the. law has recent ly received an interesting contribution from the pen of Dr. Edwin Maxey, professor of Public Law and Juris prudence in the University of Ne braska. His work is a thirty-five page pamphlet on "The Federal Employers' Liability Act." In substance the article is brief but comprehensive. The main features of the Federal Employers' Liability Act of 190S, together with the causes and purposes of its passage, are made to stand oitf. clearly, and the fundamental legal relations of employer and em ployee In the railroad business are amplified and explained by liberal citations of statutes, decided cases and hypothetical illustrations. Dr. Maxey, who is not only a specialist in Inter national Law but also a clear, logical and Interesting presenter of problems (Continued on page 3) LINCOLN HIGH NOW CHAMPS OF STATE Will Play York on Nebraska Field Next Saturday Expect a Closer Game Than With Beatrice. Lincoln High School will play York High next Saturday on the University field. This game will decide the foot ball championship among the high schools of the state. By defeating Omaha and Beatrice by decisive scores Lincoln has well earned the title al ready and it is hardly expected that the York team will be able to sucess fully cope with the heavy team from the Capitol city. Leonard Purdy. captain of the 1913 Cornhusker team, is coaching York this . year and stated last Saturday that if Lincoln did defeat his lighter team they would at least find a harder conflict than they had at Beatrice. York tied Beatrice two weeks ago and eince that time have been work ing up their defense and a complete line of attack which they will use against Lincoln next Saturday. ' Those of the University students who are not fortunate in having the wherewithal to get to Iowa, or who do not secure the usual hold on the bottom of the bertha will no doubt i HII attend this game.

"JACK" TEMPLE SEES SATURDAY'S GAME Expressed Himself as Well Pleased With Result How Could He Ex press Himself Otherwise. Former Cornhusker Captain "Jack" Temple was down to the annual home coming game with Kansas and seemed well pleased with the score although he would have been - much more pleased to have been in the game as it no doubt recalled the days when he and Shonka were nailing the men of Minnesota and the other teams that this great pair of tackles met anfi stopped. TRAMPS WILL START SOON TOWARD EAST General Exodus About to Begin Spe cial Train Will Leave For Iowa City Friday Evening. The annual exodus is about to be gin. In years gone by it was to Min neapolis or to Lawrence. By the dozens they went, in cattle cars, on the rods, under suitcases covered with blankets, under berths, anyway to get there. But this year the old ramblers will wend their way in another direction three hundred miles eastward to Iowa City three hundred miles, just think of it. Those who go by freight will have to start early in the week. In spite of the distance the indications are that counting those who pay their way Nebraska will have a larger repre sentation at Saturday's game than she has had at any foreign game in years. A special train will run over the Rocx Island leaving Lincoln at 9:30 Friday evening carrying the band and five hundred students. It need not be added that the-trip on that special train will be worth the money, saying nothing about seeing the game after they get there. It will be a picture worth looking at five hundred loyal "Cornhuskers rising vto their feet to cheer the team as they come onto The Iowa field for the first time in eight years. It will be a battle royal and no one who has seen the team triumph time after time on the home field can afford to miss seeing them invade a hostile camp.and scalp the Hawkeyes. CATHOLIC STUDENTS HEAR BISHOP TIHEH Speaks to the Catholic Students Club Sunday Afternoon Three Musical Numbers Completed Program. Iast Sunday afternoon, the mem bers of the Catholic Students Cub and many others were given the rare treat of an address by Bishop Tit on of the Lincoln Diocese. The theme for this occasion was "The Search For Truth, and Its lleb jdestriction of inherent power because (of too much social life In many of our colleges and universities. Besides the address there were also three musical selections which were very much appreciated. In the ab sence of the president, Mr. Keefe Miss Mary Murphy acted as chairman. These meetings are open and the large attendance shows the interest i taken in the work. THE HAWKEYES HEXT HOEFFEL REPORT8 IOWANS ARE STRONGER THAN EVER. EIGHT VETERANS IN LINE-UP Cornhuskers Went Through Saturday's Game Without an Injury Regu lars Have Light Signal Practice. By H. I. Kyle. Every- Cornhusker regular was out in uniform yesterday, for the one-hour signal practice ordered by Coach Stiehm. After the reckless abandon with which the men flung themselves at their opponents, Saturday, it is re markable that none of them are suf fering from serious injuries. The splendid condition of the Cornhuskers greatly strengthens Nebraska's chance of trimming the Hawkeyes on the 21st. Assistant Coach Hoeffel, who scout ed the Iowa-Ames game, in which Iowa was returned the victor by the decisive score of 26 to 6, reports that Iowa has an unusually fast and aggres sive team, which will make the Husk ers play every' minute from whistle to whistle, if they are to keep their 1914 slate clean. Gross, the flashy little quarterback for the Hawkeyes, whose "brilliant broken-field running in last year's game will be remembered by all who saw it, is even better at it than he was then, according to Hoeffel. Along with Gross the Hawkeyes have seven other veteran" of last year's team, including such stars as Kirk, Parsons, Garretson, and Barron. Reports from the Hawkeye camp in dicate that the Iowans are confident of victory over the sons of Nebraska, in the coming struggle, basing their hopes on a comparison of their score and ours, against the Ames Aggies. They figure that they are seven points stronger than Nebraska on that show ing, and they expect to defeat the Cornhuskers by at least one touch down. They have very carelessly overlooked the fact that one Potter was absent from the Cornhusker line up, in the Ames game. It must be acknowledged, however, that Iowa has one of the two strong est elevens that the Missouri Valley champions have been called upon to face this season. - The Hawley team has held both Chicago and Minnesota to 7 to 0 scores this year, and has won all its other games by larpe I scores.
