Bians the contrast Is as strong as be
tween the Prussian an dthe Bavarian.
As In Germany, the vigor of the czar's
mighty empire Is more sharply ex
pressed In the north than In the south,
and yet. In the case of both empires,
much of the national strength and en
ergy are furnished by the south.
"Russian life is sprightly In the
south. In the north, It is sullen, mo
notonous, oppressive. In the south
land, too, there Is a far greater display

In grayish-brown thatched houses
built of logs, which are etretched
along unsanitary streets, redolent with

are making homes, there are no ef
forts toward improvements.
"The South Russian builds his home
and orders his village, in the rule.

STIEHM IN LIMELIGHT
Given a Write-Up in the Outing Mag
azine Football as a Sport
Upheld
Outing. The subject of the write-up
is "Stiehm, All-Round Athlete."
The write-up 13 as followa:
"The charge is sometimes made that j
American football is too highly spe
cialized and that the men who teach
it know too little of other sports.
This could not be said of Ewald O.
Stiehm, head of the Department of
Athletics at the University of Nebras
ka. He has had charge of Cornhusker
football for four years and in that
time his teams have won twenty-seven
games and lost two.
"This looks like a result of high
specialization, and yet Prof. Stiehm
knows many other things besides foot
ball. In his undergraduate career at
the University of Wisconsin he was a
member of the football, tennis, bas
ketball, water polo and track teams
and of the baseball squad. After grad
uating from Wisconsin he coached for
a year at his old high school at Fort
Atkinson, Wis., and then spent a year
as coach at Rlpon college, Wisconsin.
Since be has been at Nebraska the
only team to defeat his pupils is Min
nesota. "Mr. Stiehm is a great believer in
the generalship side of modern foot
ball as against the old pounding game.
Under this head be includes quick
shift plays, series plays, leading plays
and psychological forward passes.
The real test of generalship in his
opinion Is ability to carry the play
within your opponents' thirty-yard
line. It Is better to be on the de
fensive there than on the offensive
In your own territory. Mr. Stiehm
docs not regard football as mere fun,
nor should it be conducted merely for
physical betterment nor to maintain
winning teams. Its prime value Is a
test of character and as a generator
of college sentiment and loyalty.
'Football should be a school of manly
skill, courage, honesty, self control,
clean habits and even of courtesy.'"

round about, and the houses of the
village are painted white or pale
green. Porches, balconies, glass and
vine-covered verandas relieve the ar
chitectural uniformity. There is more
cleanliness, gayety, and softer man
ners in the south to tempt the friendly
judgment of the stranger.
"The people of Central Russia con
fess that they are often more harsh
and more neglectful of appearances
than they of the south, but. also, they
claim that the northern Russians are
more faithful, consistent, sturdy and
more tender than their brothers In Lit
tle Russia. North and south, east and
west, all agree that in South Russia
true laziness may be found in unsur
passed expression. It is said that the
Indolent South Russian will say to his
wife: 'Little wife, say "woa" to my
horse; I have a pain in my tongue.'
"Otherwise, the South Russian has
become more like the Westerners. He
dresses as the German, or the Eng
lishman, and he more often takes an
interest lq the world without than the
peasant of the north. He is better
nourished, better educated, and, pos
sibly, a trifle less religious. He is also
of purer Slavonic stock, less melan
choly Finnish is in his blood, and his
dialect is strongly marked.
"He runs more to ornament, more
to bright colors, to singing and to
story-telling than does his northern
compatriot He is an unabashed and
all-inquisitive questioner, asking the
entire stranger whether the stone la
his scarfpln is genuine or not how
much his neckwear cost, what bis re
ligion Is, and other things scmewh&t
personal and unexpected. But he is
generally willing to be as free and
frank him elf, as be demands. Lazy,
the Little Russian is vigorous end suc
cessful; of elastic friendly tempera
ment, he is an unpeered fighter; argu
mentative at all times, about all
things; be is clannish and a patriot
and a stay-at-home he is, yet burning
with interest for all that goes on In
the world.'
