WASHBURN EXPECTS TO DO
THINGS AGAINST HUSKERS
HAS EYES ON NOTRE DAME
Husker Mentor Looking Past Tomor
row's Tusslt Hoosler School
Awake to Situation Present
Formidable Front
Washburn comes tomorrow for the
third game on the Husker schedule.
Last year the Ichabods, through the
work of a pink-haired and rotund
halfback, scored seven points against
Nebraska. Tomorrow, with this self
same capable Mr. Beal, as captain,
they will make a. valiant effort to re
peat. Coach Gray, ft former Oberlin fetar,
mentor at the Topeka school, and
Captain Beal are both making no bones
of what they inted to do tomorrow.
They admit that the team started bad
at the first of the season and that
the showing tn last Saturday's game
with Baker was not quite what might
have been expected from them, but
the team has been working desperate
ly to eld a machine which will per
form creditably en , Nebraska field to
morrow. And according to the coach
and captain, the improvement shown
by the team since the Baker game is
such that it warrants a frank acknowl
edgement that they expect to score'
against the Huskers. Just how much
more they expect to do can only be
conjectured.
Although Coach Stiehm has made
ample preparations for the reception
of Washburn in tomorrow's contest,
he is looking past the struggle with
the Ichabods to the foming of the
Xotre Dame team. Disquieting rumors
are wafting into Lincoln from every
conceivable quarter. Unlike the Mich
igan Aggies, who permitted their con
fidence to run away with their Judg
ment, the wily Catholics are looking
forward to the Nebraska contest as
the really crucial game on their sched
ulethe one that will do the most to
establish their standing in the west
this season. And with a team com
posed of seven veterans, with four
men topping the beam at 200 or over,
and scarcely a man under 175, they
present a front the like of which only
Illinois and MiDaesota of the western
teams can show.

Dean Graham Serves Tea
The tea served yesterday afternoon
by Dean Mary Graham in Art hall
was enjoyed by all too few. The stu

laying off a few moments for the sake
meeting the faculty and students and
of being refreshed. The teas will be
served every Thursday, from 3 to 5:30

HEAR YE! HEARYE! HEAR YE!
That Which Was Stolen Is Not Found,
But Replaced Reward Evoked
Peace Reigns Once More
Notice 4s hereby given that any and
all offers for the arrest of persons who
took the much sought for pair of
shears from the Nebraskan office, arc
hereby revoked. The management
started a subscription fund early yes
terday and before the day was over
enough had been secured to send an
envoy to a ten cent store and replace
the office necessity.
It is the earnest desire of the editors
that hereafter anyone wishing a souve
nir from the Nebraskan think shop
will give us advance notice so that
we will not have to perpetrate boiler
plate on the patient readers for want
of a clipping utensil.
In this regard it might be mentioned
that there is a great demand for a
detective agency at Nebraska. Any
youth having ambitions in that direc
tion, may apply at the Nebraskan of
fice for his first case. '

STUDENT LEADERS
UNIVERSITY Y.M.C.A.
NO EXPERIENCED SECRETARY IS
AT PRESENT AVAILABLE
MR EWING NOW IN ENGLAND
Former Secretary to Continue His
Work as Secretary of Prisoners
of War Camps Up to Stu
dents to Support
To the Editor:
It seems almost necessary and only
just, at the beginning of this school
year, to inform you of the change in
lAftlAfickin yf fVtst i TTef V XT 0
irauriouiji ui nit: uuitcioiij n.
A., and also of the significance of that
change as it concerns you
By this time it is quite commonly
known that Mr. Ewing, who last yearLjr0p m
was general seceretary of the asso
ciation, will inedfinitely continue his
greater work in England as secretary
of the Prisoners of War Camps. This
fact, received by cablegram not earlier
than September 3rd, came as a com
plete surprise to the board of direc
tors. Immediate, but thoughtful, action
regarding the leadership of the Y. M.
C. A. in the face of this temporary cir
cumstance led to the final conclusion
that student leadership should serve,
pending further action by the board.
No mature, experienced secretary was
available, hence the failure of success
of the association was left solely de
pendent upon the students. And there
it still remains.
The question now is, do the men of
the University consider the Y. M. C.
A. and what it stands for, a vital
enough part of the institution to really
get behind the ball and push? Would
not it be possible for us all, working
in co-operation upon a broad and lib
eral program, to make the influence
of the association felt throughout the
entire school? It is at Wisconsin; it
is at Michigan and Minnesota; yes,
and as much more can be said of Kan
sas. And why? Simply because of
the fact that, at these schools, the
students no longer look upon the Y.
M. C. A. as a religious organization,
spearate from and unconcerned about
the school itself; an organization to
be pitied in its struggle for existence
and influence and helped only when it
etumbles across their path. They see
in the Y. M. C. A. a co-operative as
sociation working directly for the wel
fare of their university and for them
selves. They consequently are giv
ing some of their time and energy to
ward building it up; they are taking
part in its activities; and unconscious
ly perhaps they are being influenced
themselves as well as influencing oth
ers. Certainly such an active interest
in the Y. M. C. A. cannot result other
wise than to mipe the morale and
create a genuine Christ-like atmos
phere throughout their university.
The same can be true of the Uni
versity of Nebraska if we only awaken
tvot the Y. M. C. A. is

to the engineer, the
pharmic, me j
medic, the law student and the man in
the Arts and Science college as they
are to those engaged in more direct
ly religious callings.
Let's try to do even more this year
than last.
