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

Iowa." It plans to do work similar in
character to that done by the Commer

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

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,

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

"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.

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 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

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.
