AH ADDRESS OH ADVERTISING
Mr. Frank Blake of Deere & Compan
Addresses Engineers Has Had
25 Years' Experience
In his talk on "The Benefits of Ad
vertising to Agriculture," given before
the Engineering society Wednesday
evening, Mr. Frank D. Blake, adver
Using manager for Deere & Co., Mo-
line, 111., brought out In a very enter
talnlng manner some of the difficul
ties, the magnitude and the import
ance of advertising farm implements,
Mr. Blake has been in the advertis
ing work for twenty-five years and
during the fifteen years he has spent
with Deere & Co. he has had charge
of some eight million dollars worth
of advertising. Mr. Blake laid much
stress cn the need of practical edu
cated men and concluded as follows:
"The educated man the man prop
erly trained for his life work is the
man to whom the world must look,
t our Advancement In the future Is
to outstrip the achievements of the
past
"Every college boy Is a bit of In
surance taken out by the community
from which he came against the dan
gerous backward tendencies which
sooner or later are certain to threaten
the world's progress. Each of you are
an investment for the public good,
and when your college days are over
when the serious business of life
has actually befun remember that
you yourself are a living, breathing
advertisement of what such a invest
ment can be made to yield in real
dividends; that you, yourself, must
be the final answer to the question,
What has advertising done for agriculture?'"
COMMERCIAL CLUB MEETING
Men's Union and. Commercial
Discussed Committees
Appointed
Club
The Commercial club held its regu
lar meeting Thursday afternoon In U
102. The hour was given over to
round table talks.
Mr. Meek introduced the subject of
a men's union at Nebraska. He show
ed that Buch organizations had prov
ed successful at other schools, and
put himself on record as believing
the time ripe for establishing one
here. A motion that the president,
with Messrs. Meek and Babson, act
as a committee to make a report
upon the work of men's unions at
other schools and the possibility of
Its introduction here was carried.
The matter of a Commercial club
dance was discussed and the follow
ing men were appointed to investigate
and report upon its advisability:
P. O'Connor.
C. H. Nolde. '
E. W. Schaufelberger.
R. H. Finley.
F. L. Murphy.
Nebraska is not a one man or a
three man team. She had eleven men
palying football every minute of the
game. Any substitution in the line
up did not detract from the prowess
of the Huskers. Cook, Gardiner,
Shields, Abbott, and Reese shine
among the stars, and in fact, the
whole line-up must be mentioned when
picking out the good players. Daily

STIEHM ROLLER
AGAINJURPREME
NEBRASKA FINISHES ITS THIRD
SEASON WITHOUT DEFEAT
HAWKEYES EASY VICTIMS
Huskers Pile up 52 Points on Iowa
Eleven Nebraska Machine In
Wonderful Form Hawkeyes
Count on Fluke
With the Stiehm Roller .grinding
out touchdowns at a war-time rate,
and the Nebraska stonewall in perfect
working order, the Cornhuskers over
whelmed the Iowa Hawkeyes, 62-7, on
Nebraska field Saturday afternoon,
thereby completing their third con
secutive Beason without defeat
Not since early In the season of
1912 has an opponent, Big Nine or
otherwise, been able to stop the irre
sistible machine engineered by Jumbo
Stiehm, and never at any time during
these three seasons has a Husker
Juggernaut performed bo famously as
did Captain Dick Rutherford's 1915
valley champions Saturday afternoon.
The 6,000 people in attendance, a
goodly number of them homecomers
who were on hand to see the Scarlet
and Cream team of today in action
against an ancient foe, saw soon after
the contest began that there 'was
little danger that Nebraska's chances
for another all-victorious season
would be spoiled by the Hawkeyes.
The game was Nebraska's from the
start. Save for a brace In the final
period, Iowa waa powerless to gain
ground consistently. Nebraska, how
ever experienced little difficulty in
piercing the line, while Chamberlain
and the Husker backs ran the ends
for repeated gains. And at forward
passing, Nebraska also proved her
skill when she resorted to it In the
final quarter with the idea of adding
. . JU
one more toucnaown to ner ceruiw
After six unsuccessful attempts, the
gang got going, and In three passes
Chamberlain to Caley, Chamberlain
to Rutherford, and Rutherford to
Chamberlain the ball advanced al
most the length of the field for the
last count.
Chamberlain was, as usual, the main
spoke in the Nebraska Bcorlng wheel.
Time and again the big boy brushed
past the Hawkeye wings, swerving in
toward the center of the secondary
defense or bowling the halfback out of
the way by running Into him full tilt.
Four of Nebraska's eight touchdowns
are credited to Chamberlain, but he
brought the ball within striking dis
tance more than once besides.
Captain Rutherford, Abbott, Balis
and Shields, who donned Scarlet and
Cream Jerseys for the last time Sat
urday, all played the game of their
careers. Captain Dick and "Mother"
Abbott especially distinguished them
selves. Rutherford was Nebraska's
mainstay on the defense, while on the
offense he displayed more power than
he has at any other time during the
year. Several of Chamberlain's long
runs owe their success directly to the
superb blocking exhibited by the Ne
braska captain. Abbott was down
with the ends on punts and repeat
edly broke through the Iowa line,
killing Hawkeye tricks In the making.
