SMOOTHS OUT KINKS
IN IIUSKER LINE
COACH STIEHM SPENDS WEEK
PERFECTING PLAYS
HE SHIFTS LINE CONSTANTLY
Stiehm Battles Against Time Late
Start Makes Task of Building
Up Victorious Team Doubly
Difficult
The Nebraska "Stiehm" roller is
busy this week smoothing out the
kinks in the Cornhusker line. As far
as speed and ability go the material
which Coach Stiehm has in hand is
everything that the mighty tutor could
ask for. The difficult task set before
the Husker coach this week is that
of developing snap and unity in the
plays.
On account of the fact that Abbott
and Chamberlain have only " been in
the lineup for one week this task is
one which only a master hand would
dare attempt. Throughout the week
Stiehm has been shifting and chang
ing in the endeavor to sort out the
material from which to build a ma
chine that will be able to enter the
field and show the Cornhusker form
of the past two years. He has a
wealth of speedy and determined play
ers to choose from and the only
question is one of time. Whether
the never failing "Jumbo" will be able
to combine eleven sensational players
into one sensational team in one short
week will be demonstrated when the
Huskers bump heads with the veterans
from Drake on Saturday. Judging
from the workouts of the week there
will be several surprises in the
Husker lineup for the game Satur
day. Fans who have been watching Cham
berlain work at the wing position feel
that the mighty halfback is capable of
exhibiting unparalleled speed and snap
at all times. Cook has been working
out at quarterback this week and
Reese has held down the right half
back position. The program for the
week has varied but little, being a
grinding perliminary practice, follow
ed by an hour's scrimmage between
Varsity first and second teams and
, Varsity vs. Freshmen.
CORNHUSKER ANTHEM.
SCARLET AND CREAM.
In the time of youth and golden dreams
How rosy dawns the year,
How blithely do we greet at last
Our college days so dear
When first as 'Huskers we shall sing
In voices fresh and clear.
REFRAIN.
Oh Nebraska, dear Nebraska
Of the Scarlet and the Cream,
s With glad acclaim
We laud thy name,
Our joyful praise
To thee we raise
To the Scarlet and the Cream
To the Scarlet and the Cream.
Upon the benches, past the dial,
In U Hall and in drill,
We meet new lessons, friends and hopes,
Which time will never still.
True 'Huskers now, we proudly sing,
And sing with heart and will.
In after years when we have seen
To life's far distant rim.
When for the last, long, silent voyage
Our sails we soon shall trim,
With old time fire we'll join and sing
Tho' eyes with tears are dim.
Harry Burtis, '13.
('Varsity Song.)
Although Yale has always favored
The violet's dark blue.
And the gentle sons of Harvard
To the crimson rose are true;
J : Still our colors are the sunset,
And the silvery moon's last beam,
So we sing to old Nebraska,
And the Scarlet and the Cream.:
Through the four long years of college,
Midst the scenes we love so well.
As the mystic charms of knowledge
We vainly seek to spell ;
1 1 : Or we win athletic victories
With our gallant football team,
And we work for old Nebraska,
And the Scarlet and the Cream.:
When the cares of life o'ertake us,
Mingling fast our locks with gray;
Should our dearest hopes betray us,
False fortunes fall away;
1 1 : Still we banish care and sadness
As of college days we dream,
And recall those days of gladness
'Neath the Scarlet and the Cream.: II
Chosen to be the official University Anthem
in the Glee Club competition last spring. Music
by John M.- Rosborough, of the University School
of Music.
Cheer for Nebraska.
Nebraska must win;
Fight to the finish
Never give in.
You do your best, boys;
We'll do the rest, boys;
Fight for the V-I-C-T-O R-Y !

New York, Sept. 29. The agree
ment between the Anglo-French finan
cial commission and the American
bankers, with whom they have been
conferring over the proposed credit
loan to Great Britain and France, has
resulted in the formation of a definite
plan, it was announced officially here
tonight, for the establishment of a
$500,000,000 loan, issued on five-year,
5 per cent joint British and French
bonds, payable jointly and severally
by the two nations, upon which the
big loan will be a first lien. The bonds
will be issued to the public at 98, this
yielding approximately iys per cent to
the investor and to the nation-wide
syndicate of bankers, which will sub
scribe to the loan at 96. Formation
of the syndicate has been left to J. P.
Morgan & Co. and a large group of
American bankers and financial
houses. The bonds will be issued in
denominations as low as $100 and sub
scribers thereto may pay for them by
installments.
At maturity these bonds will be re
payable in cash or convertible into
4 per cent joint Anglo-French
bonds, redeemable from ten to twenty
years thereafter by the two govern
ments jointly or severally.
Sir Henry Babington Smith, a mem
ber of the commission, made public
the announcement. Sir Henry said an
identical statement would be made
public in Chicago by Lord Reading,
chairman of the commission, who, with
the other members, is conferring with
western bankers there. .The state
ment was issued here in the name of
Lord Reading, and read as follows:
"The discussions between the Anglo
French financial mission and the
American bankers have resulted in the
formation of a definite plan for a loan
to the British and French govern
ments, to be issued in this country
on a broad and poplar basis. The
proceeds of the loan will be employed
exclusively in America for the purpose
of making the rate" of exchange more
stable, thereby helping to maintain the
volume of American exports."

FOUR CANDIDATES HAVE FILED
Two from Each of the Lower Classes
Get Busy at the Last Minute
Interest Running High
That Edward E. Angle, Lincoln,
Vaughn Russom, Lincoln, and Don Gal
lagher, O'Neill, have entered into the
scrap for class presidencies, the for
mer in the Sophomore and the two lat
ter in the Freshmen class, was yes
terday's contribution tc the political
lineup.
Mr. Angle is a Pre-medlc and a mem
ber of the Alpha Tau Omega frater
nity. Mr. Russom was rather uncer
tain as to whether he should attempt
to brave the political torrent, tout
has now made the plunge and expects
to be the winner. Mr. Gallagher has
a large acquaintanceship which ho
proposes to make use of.
That this will be the final alignment
is rather doubtful.. Rumors are com
ing thick and fast which indicate b
third candidate in the Sophomore class
and possibly another aspirant among
the Freshmen.
