HU8KERS WILL HAVE HARD BAT
TLE WITH JAYHAWKERS
STIEHM BOLSTERS UP LINE
Nebraska Wesleyan Next Saturday
Huskers Working Into Shape
for Kansas Hard Scrim
mage Work Yesterday
The Huekers met at the M street
rk vesterday afternoon, wnere urey
tore each other's scalplocks for a
couple of hours and dirtied up their
pants a good deal.
The second team men pitted their
strength against that of the regulars
and held them down in real gridiron
style, each side scoring three tbuch
downs. Since the Huskers have suppressed
the roar of the ambitious Ames Ag
gies, they are free to turn their at
tention to the coming scrap with the
Jayhawk.
The Kansas that was a child in the
matured hands of the Huskers last
year has grown and developed with
the passage of time until fans from
the Jayhawk state are beginning to
hope that they have something that
will check the advance of the Invin
cible Huskers.
With a team doing 20 per cent bet
ter work than last year and a line
heavy enough to prevent any big gains
on straight line plunges on the Husk
ers' part, Kansas will probably be
able to worry the Nebraska machine
some.
The Huskers showed too much con
fidence and not enough hard work in
the game with Ames and any such
recklessness when they meet up with
the Jayhawkers might prove fatal.
Stiehm is working on the line this
week and giving his men a chance to
heal up between now a week from
Saturday.
Next Saturday, Nebraska Wesleyan
will cc'ine down and try to score on
the "Stienm" roller.
Miss Essie Jones, of Minden,
is assistant at the Farm.

That the "home-coming" number of

coming" game it will be a few days
late.
The last number was one of blood

twice as much as usual.

"It is time the government became
the positive instrument of common

Harry F. Ward, secretary of the So

night in Music hall. Temple, on the
subject of "The Challenge of Social

Politically, socialism was pictured
as a movement for organization where
the individual loses his identity in
the mass: Christianity, on the other
! hand, was pictured as a movement for
the development of the individual. In
their purposes both socialism and
Christianity are in accord but they
differ in the method by which they

o'clock in the Y. W. C. A. rooms will
consist of a talk by Miss Oolooah
Burner on "Life Investments," and a
song by Mrs. Evangeline Long-Pope.
Dean Mary Graham will preside.
Every girl who heard Miss Burner
Sunday afternoon realizes that it is
a privilege not to be overlooked.
From the Nebraska State Journal:
When a young man is arrested for
speeding one of the first things he
worries about is how to keep "dad'
from hearing about it. He knows that
if the stories reach the parental ears
the auto probably will stay in the
garage for some time to come. Last
week a Lincoln boy solved the diffi
culty. Being a senior in the univer
sity, he was able to dictate terms to
i a Freshamn in his fraternity. Accord
ingly tne nrst year man s name weni
on the register in place of the other,
The Freshman could do nothing but
give his consent Anyway, the Senior
told him, his father lived hundreds of
miles away and would never see the
story in the papers. The next morn
ing the senior appeared, paid his fine,
and went away happy. And father is
none the wiser.
"GHOSTS," AJAMILY DRAMA
Over Half the Seats in the House Had
Been Sold Monday Evening On
Sale at College Book Store
It was December, 1SS1. Ibsen had
nlptprf what manv considered to
be his greatest play. The press with
out exception hurled bitter epithets
upon the work of the great Danish
poet. Ibsen had dared to stand
ftlnnp. He had a new idea, and be
cause he dared to push forward this
idea he became famous.
The world said Ibsen was daring,
preposterous, outrageous, anything to
heap "coals of fire on his head." lb
con himsplf. said. "It may well be
that the play is in several respects
rather daring. But it seemed to me
that the time had come for moving
some of the boundary posts. And this
was an undertaking for which a man
of the older generation, like myself,
was better fitted than many younger
authors who might desire to do some
thing of the kind. I was prepared for
a storm, but such storms one must
not shrink from encountering. That
would be cowardice."
When the storm began to clear, the
world realized that a new idea had
been expressed by the wonderfully

On Wednesday night, "Ghosts" is to
be presented again at the Temple. In
reviewing the play last Friday. Pror.
Venner of Wesleyan said: "Every man
and woman In Lincoln should see this
tremendous play." So firmly does he
believe this that he secured pledges
from nearly 100 of his students to

evening. There are still many choice
