CORNHUSKER BANQUET
(Continued frorn page one.)
showed his appreciation by attending
this banquet Instead of taking part in
the Missouri Valley Conference meet
ing which was being held at the Lin
coln. He congratulated the manage
ment of the banquet and especially
the team for building up the Univer
sity of Nebraska, and also the student
body for Its loyal support He empha-l
sired the fact that there were no
knockers and u very few pikers among
the student body this year.
Warren Howard, a member of this
year's champion team, next told how
it feels to be a member of this gang.
He, like all the speakers, congratu
lated the students for their ardent
support. This is Howard's last year.
He has played twenty-four times in a
i Nebraska uniform, and only once felt
I the sling of defeat
! Homer K. P-urket, president of the
'commercial Club, talked about the
benefit that the state received through
! being represented by such a great
team. -
Between the last speaker and the
succeeding one. Dr. Condra's moving
picture of the team was shown, and
some very comical expressions were
noticed on the faces of the men.
These pictures are exceptionally clear
and deserve special mention.
Dean Ringer, a former football man,
now living in South Omaha, said "that
we are here to honor the team," but
! he also said "that this team can never
; repay their Alma Mater for the good
it has done them." He also remarked
! about the unselfish spirit in the play
ers. i Luke Morris, the next talker, told
1 some mighty good stories, which all
! seemed to enjoy.
! Coach Stiehm's short talk was right
to the point. He said that the success
of the team is not due to the players
or coaches, but instead to the support
It received.
I Guy Reed, manager ef athletics,
thanked the students for their finan
cial support and stated that 6omebig
j games will be secured in next year's
schedule.
Captain Victor Halligan closed the
toasts by giving some vivid accounts
of some incidents that occurred on
; football trips of the past three sea
sons, and closed by thanking each and
every one for their loyal support
Chancellor Avery then got up and
asked permission to send former Chan
cellor Andrews, who is now sick in
bed, a telegram to show him our love
and affection. This request was
unanimously granted.
STATE CONSERVATION
CONGRESS HAS FILM
Shows Methods of Dealing With Hog
Cholera Dr. Kigin Has Aided
Materially In the Work.
The State Conservation Congress,
with the assistance of Dr. Kigin, the
state veterinarian, is preparing a film
on the treatment of hog cholera. The
film will show the methods adopted to
prevent the spread of this dread dis
ease, from the vaccination down to
the disposal of the hogs that have
died from the disease. Several years
ago a serum was discovered that
would prevent the inoculation of the
herd if they were vaccinated before
infection. From that time on there
has been a rapid advance in the way
of preventing the disease and In the
treatment of animals Infected with it
The object of s congress Is to show
the farmer what to do In case his bogs
are In danger of dying from this
dread disease and then, too. the film
will show every step in the actual
operation and the advice to be ob
tained from this film can hardly be
measured, as it will be one of the
only opportunities that the fanners of
this state will nave to see the meth
ods of combatting the disease that
has ruined many farmers In this coun
try and Europe
j I The state has made it a law that no
one can bury a hog that has died of
cholera and the film shows the method
of disposing of the dead animals
The congress Is also putting out a
film on tuberculosis in cattle. This
film shows the different dairy breeds,
herds and the methods of taking care
of the dally production of milk and
the method of inspecting herds. In
the same film the various infections
found in cattle are shown so the
farmer may have the opportunity of
knowing the different diseases, as the
hoof and mouth disease, by sight.
The film is technical and educational,
and this is evidenced by the fact that
several of the neighboring states have
asked that the film might be loaned
to them that they may show their
farmers the same things that the Ne
braska farmers will learn that go to
see these two films as they are shown
throughout the state.
PROFESSOR FOGG WILL
START EXPERIMENT
Packers and Stockraiser to Sell
the Stock Chance for Stu
dents to Earn.
Him
Professor Fogg's statement the
other day that he intends to buy a
goat to "feed on freshman themes in
Rhetoric 13 has resulted in a discus
sion rivaling that of the "Peerless
Leader's famous grape juice proposi
tion. Since the publishing of his
statement a few days ago. Professor
Fogg has been besieged on all sides
for information about his goat-feeding
theory. Packers and stockraisers all
over the country have offered him
goats guaranteed to be in perfect con
dition, with the traditional castiron
goat, stomach in working order. If j
the professor accepts their offers to
experiment with the animals, great
benefits may result to the students at
Nebraska who are working their way
through schooL Instead of having
their themes ignominiously consigned
to the trash heap, they might sell
them to goat raisers and in that way
reap large and lucrative rewards.
The students side of the question
alone roakes it worth while for Pro
fessor Fogg to perform this experi
ment but when we consider the bene
fits that the faculty would derive, it
is most imperative that it should be
done. Many of the "faculty ride bi
cycles, as is too well known to re
quire explanation. Therefore, if goats
could be successfully fed on freshman
themes they could as easily afford
such animals to be further aid in their
work. One professor was heard to
remark that his freshman classes
could easily feed enough goats to
transport the German army clear to
Paris, giving each man an animal for
himself.
It is fully believed that the pressure
being brought to bear on Professor
Fogg will result in his performing the
experiment Should he do this he will
earn the gratitude of all .professors
and students, not only here, but all
over the world wherever the vexing
problem of the disposition of fresh
man themes has to be dealt with. It
will be the case of another Nebraska
man going down into history as a true
friend of mankind; one to whom the
world shall ever owe the most pro
found respect and gratitude.
