Held on Salt Creek Bottoms
Th. Freshmen triumphed over the
Sophomores in the Olympics on the
Salt Creek Bootoms Saturday, by a
score of 67tf points to 52 Points,
which makes the second defeat in
Olympics for the present Sophomore
class. Guy C. Chambers, president
of the Innocents, declared there was
"more real 'pep' displayed" in this con
test than In any he had ever seen.
About 250 Freshmen and 100 Sopho
mores enjoyed the mud, salt water
and other natural advantages of the
Salt Creek Bottoms. In the big class
rush the Sophomores were easy vic
tims of the Freshmen. One by one
the reluctant "Sophs" were pulled
across the salt flats and thrown head
long into the water, from which they
woul'' emerge encased in mud and
spitting out the briny water. Each
Sophomore would land with the "pro
verbial dull thud" which made the con
test appeal to the ear as well as to
the eye. But the Sophomores were
not the only ones to enjoy the saline
baths. The tug-of-war was so arrang
ed that the vanquished would be pull
ed into a mud-hole of slough, and this
rare privilege fell to the lot of the
Freshmen.
In the single events the second
year men had a decided edge on the
neophytes. The Freshmen won only
the heavyweight wrestling, in which
John Pickett, of Scottsblufi. defeated
Max O. Paul, of Lincoln. The heavy
weight boxing event. Parks vs. Mil
ler was declared a draw, each side
being awarded 2 points. For the
Sophomores. Adrian Brian, of Colum
bus, won the lightweight boxing and
lightweight wrestling events from J.
Bryan Fletcher, of Bancroft, and Ful
ton Jack, of Beatrice, respectively.
The relay race was won by Sturm,
Wiley, O'Brian and Owen, with Doran.
Beckord. Warner and Bryan as their
Freshemn opponents.
The Freshmen protested against
against some of the Sophomore rep
resentatives In the sin pie events. The
Innocents are not going to take the
matter In hand, as the first-year men
won by a decisive margin and without
dispute.
The following are the events won

Relay race 15 points

DRAMATIC CLUB PLAY CHOSEN
N
Miss Howell Will Repeat Play Given
Last Spring Elsie Jones and Mau
rice Clark in Leading Roles
Maurice Clark appears again in Ib
sen's great' show, "Ghosts." It was
with no Blight misgiving that "Ghosts"
was presented to the University pub
lic last spring. There was no doubt
that Mr. Clark and Miss Jones could
Interpret Ibsen well, but "Ghosts" has
a message so strong that few audi
ences are willing to accept it. The
play met with such success and the
demand has been so insistent for the
repetition of the play that Miss Alice
Howell has chosen it for the opening,
Wednesday evening, No. 3, of the Uni
versity dramatic season.
The cast will be the same as that
of last year, except that Miss Ella
Williams will play the part taken by
j Miss Dobbs, who is not in school this
year, ine cast rouows:
Elsie Jones Mrs. Alving
Maurice Clark Oswald Alving
Ella Williams Regina Engstrand
Carlisle Jones
..the crippled carpenter, Engstrand
Harold Campbell Pastor Manders
The Dramatic department is under
taking to present to the University
public an l the public at large some
ofthe best plays of all times at as
reasonable a cost as possible. Nothing
that will be essential to the play will
be sacrificed in giving the low prices
which will be announced later. The
hope of Miss Howell is that the Uni
versity students may become acquaint
ed with the great artists of the drama
world.
Girls' Swimming Class
The committee controlling affairs in
the city Y. M. C. A. has refused to
give the pool to the University girls
for the number of hours stipulated in
the original contract. Tickets were
sold with the understanding that the
hours were from 10 o'clock to 1 o'clc-fc
on Tuesday. Now the change made
must crowd the period earlier in the
morning, making it from 9 to 12:15
o'clock. This may allow more to reg
ister for the earlier hours, and some
may have to ask for a refund because
of the shortened period at the noon
hour. Tickets will be sold at the pool
tomorrow or at Miss Ina Gittings' of
fice today.

CHAMBERLAIN IS THE STAR
Big Half Backbone of Husker Attack
and Breaks up Catholic Offense
Consistently Irishmen Nar
rowly Miss Tying Score
Nebraska, 20; Notre Dame, 19.
Captain Fitzgerald and his band of
Irishmen, displaying a dazzling of
fense and a spirited defense, waged a
desperate battle with the Huskers on
Nebraska field Saturday afternoon,
when the two schools met for the first
time in their history, but Nebraska
spirit asserted its supremacy and the
Catholics were beaten by the narrow
margin of 1 point. The game was re
markable for the fight which domi
nated the play of both elevens. With
the first half 13 to 7 against them, the
Huskers came back and scored two
touchdowns during the second period
and kicked one goal, in the closing
moments of the contest, Notre Dame
rallied and succeeded in registering
another touchdown, but the attempt at
goal was unsuccessful.
The Catholics were quick to make
known their intentions, for soon after
the opening whistle blew Bergman
crossed the Husker line for the first
touchdown of the game. Stephan
missed goal. The Notre Dame back-
field sifted through the Nebraska line
with ease during the first quarter,
but Nebraska showed an equally pow
erful offense.
Chamberlain was the backbone of
the Husker attack, scoring two of Ne
braska's three touchdowns. The first
score came in the opening moments
of the second half, when the husky
end, after the ball had been worked
by forward passes and tackles around
to the Catholic's 25-yard line, went
past the opposing wing the remaining
distance. Again in the third period.
Chamberlain made a wonderful spurt
through the Catholic line for nineteen
yards and a touchdown.
Neither team gained consistently
through the line, but depended upon
complicated plays and forward passes
for the necessary distance. The Husk
er line did not play up to usual form,
however, and failure to hold at criti
cal moments was responsible for two
of the Catholic's tallies. The exhibi
tion of open field play put on by both
elevens surpassed anything ever seen
at Nebraska. Long and beautiful
passes made possible every one of
the Husker touchdowns, and Notre
Dame also used the forward flip to
adwnnL&ee.
Nebraska's third touchdown came
at a moment when things looked par
ticularly dark for the Huskers. Corey
failed to kick gcal after Chamberlain'
tally In the third quarter, and the score
was tied. 13-13. At the beginning of
the final period. Nebraska worked
the ball up to Notre Dame's 30-yard
line, when Reese was thrown for a
7-yard loss, and Nebraska was penal
ized fifteen yards for holding. With
the ball about in the center of the
field. Chamberlain flipped a beautiful
pass to Reese, which brought the ball
to the Catholic's 36-yard line, and,
with fourth down and six yards to go.
Caley threw a long pass Into the wait

POSTER URGES EDUCATION
Department of Interior Proposes
Educate Foreigner Printed In
Several Languages
to
The following article was received
by Dean G. W. A. Lucky of the Grad
uate College of Education from the
Department of the Interior, Bureau
of Education:
"The Department of the Interior,
through its Bureau of Education, has
issued a lithographed poster, 30x20
inches in size, which is being sent to
the various postofnees, public schools
and industrial establishments of the
country, urging immigrants to educate
themselves for American citizenship
"In the foreground of the poster,
'Uncle Sam is represented as grasp
ing the hand of an immigrant work
ingman, while in the background is
seen a residence, a public school and
a naturalization Judge handing 'citi-
zen8 papers' to an Immigrant.
"Under the bold-faced title, 'Amer
ica First,' are urgent invitations to at
tend night school, learn English and i
soon become citizens. These invita- i
tions, with brief sentences setting I
forth the advantages of such action,
are given in English and six immigrant
languages, viz.: Italian, Polish, Yid
dish, Lithuanian, Bohemian and Hun
garian. "Investigation has shown that there j
are in this country 3,000,000 foreign-!
born whites, 10 years and over, who
are unable to read or even speak Eng-1
llsh. More tnan one-nan oi mese im-j
migrants are unable to read or write
in any language.
"As the posters will be hung in con- j
snicuous places, it is to be hoped that ;
by means of this pictorial ana writ-
ten invitation Immigrants will have
thelr attention called to the nignt
schools of their communities; and that
where there Is any considerable num-
ber of immigrants and no night,
schools the poster may inspire the au -
thorities in these communities to e
tablish such schools. This is a part of
a more comprehensive plan for pre-
paring immigrants ior Aiumiau
and citizenship." ,
