VARSITY SPIRIT IN
EVIDENCE MONDAY
SATURDAY'S RESULT MAKES MEN
WANT TO FIGHT
Some Nursing Injuries Corey's Toe
Effective Former Stars on
Grid
After their narrow escape at the
hands of the scrubs last Saturday, the
varsity put a large amount of spirit
into their practice last evening.
A number of the men are nursing
more or less serious injuries. Shaw
and Caley did not appear on the field
while Gardiner was out but did not
work. Caley is curing a sore shoul
der while Shaw has a knee which is
keeping him from exercising.
Kicking Practice
The practice in kicking brought
forth some excellent punting from
Otoupalik, Rhoades and RJddell and
good goal kicking from Captain Corey.
Corey, whose toe proved to be the
winning factor in the great Notre
Dame battle last year, is fast regain
ing his old form and can put the ball
between the posts and over the bar
four times out of every five tries. Rld
dell is also becoming quite expert in
the art of goal kicking.
For practice In tackling the varsity
was lined up four deep in lines about
twenty feet apart, the men in each
line being about five yards apart.
Then one man with a ball began at the
head of each line and tried to run

by Class Election Rules (cf. General

Laws Will Send Smokes ,
To Their
Knowing the need of the masculine
human being and loving to supply such
needs, the senior class of the college of
law are taking up a collection in order
that they might send some cigars to
tlfelr classmates on the border.
The two men who are going to be
supplied with "makings" and cigars
are Thomas Hepperlln and G. F. Thorn-
burg. Mr. Thornburg Is leader of the
Nebraska Fifth regimental band. No
doubt the air will be ringing when he
enjoys his stogies. Mr. Hepperlln, the
laws believe, is nune than a private
and so will be allowed to lead a life
of luxurious ease without infringing
on any 10 cent limit.
Mrs. M. J. Carnes will have charge
of the collection. This choice of a
woman for such a position is highly
psychological and no doubt the United
DEAN FORDYCE AND
GRADUATES COMPLETE
RURAL SCHOOL SURVEY
Dean Fordyce, with the assistance of
graduate students, has completed a
survey of all the rural schools of Boone
county, having made an application of
the standardized test to these schools.
This is the first instance in the country
of the application of the standardized
tests in the schools of an entire county.
The results of the survey are now be
ing tabulated for publication.

through its length. "Bob" Ralston
made the best showing at this game,
while Rhoades and E. Kositzky did
fine tackling.
In the short scrimmage that foil
lowed the varsity line showed a fine
stonewall to the freshmen and threw
them for losses down after down.
Old Stars There
One feature of the practice was the
appearance of two old stars on the
field in uniform. Guy Chamberlain
and "Vic" Halligan were the intruders.
Halllgan has been officially added to
the coaching staff, while Chamberlain
was out showing the new end men
how it was done.
The air is beginning to fill up with
"dope" these days, from the various
camps of our season's opponents. Mes
sages have floated in from faraway
Oregon that they will have a weak
team this year. But according to
Coach Stewart this will not be the
case.
Several of Doc's last year's team
will be back and there are lots of
husky freshmen coming up. Cole, a
lineman and place kicker from last
year's team, will be the mainstay,
while Brooke, Bessette, Newman, Dut-
ton and Allworth, all regulars last
year, will be back. Among the new
men, Hubbard, who Dr. Stewart says,
was the best man that was on the
field last year not even excluding the
great Abraham, is probably the bright
est prospect. In addition there will
be McNeil, a big Scotchman, and
Briggs, a fast little man.
No candidate shall be entitled to elec
tion whose name is not printed on the
ballot. There shall be no soliciting of
votes by cards or otherwise at or near
the polls.

Registrar.

secretary of the city Y. W. C. A., is

Fellows On Border
Cigar stores or Conway's will experi
ence a scarcity of Bull Durham when
the purchasing committee has visited
them.
Although everyone else connected
with the gift was openly mentioned,
the quietness was pronounced when the
names of the purchasing committee
was asked for. Here again excellent
Judgment was shown, for should the
names of these be published In the
papers they would be unable to study
at all on account of the numerous
friends who would d.'op In to spend
the evening.
Everyone is hoping for the sake of
the laws that if there should be any
sign& around Llano Grande such as
there are at the gates of the campus
the war department will see fit to
take them down before the tobacco
arrives.
TWO NEW COACHES ON
THE VARSITY STAFF
VICTOR HALLIGAN AND FRANK
MOORE IN CHARGE OF FRESH
MEN Former Cornhusker Star Latter
Played on Oregon Aggies and
Was All-Northwestern Guard
Victor Halligan, captain of the cham
pion Cornhuskers of 1914, and Frank
Moore, all-northwestern guard for two
years on the Oregon Agricultural col
lege team, have been added to the
Cornhusker coaching staff, Dr. E. J.
Stewart announced yesterday.
Halligan is well-known to the Uni
versity rooters. He played tackle on
the varsity for three years, and was
probably the best man at that place
who ever wore the scarlet and cream,

HARRY PORTER
NOW SELLING
FRESHMAN CAPS
Freshman caps green skull caps
and green toques are now on sale at
Harry Porter's, and will be on sale
there until every freshman has ob
tained his proper headgear.
In taking over the caps, Mr. Porter,
who has proved on many occasions
that he is a good booster for the Uni
versity, has done so without asking
any commission on the sales. The mat
ter is purely one of accommodation for
the student body.
The Innocents believe that before the
day of the Olympics every first year
man will have his green cap. The cost
will remain at a dollar, although the
rising price of materials has brought
this perilously close to the actual cost
of the material, without figuring in
any selling expense whatsoever.
TIMES HAVE CHANGED
There is a change in fraternity
houses this week. No longer are the
freshmen feted.
"Let 'em know they are freshmen,"
is the order that has gone the rounds
among the different Greek letter mem
bers. There are a variety of ways in
which this is accomplished. From the
sophomore classes of the different fra
ternities, several are officially desig
nated "chain gang bosses." On Satur
day mornings these bosses direct cer
tain necessary work around the
houses. Freshmen must at all times
maintain proper respect to the upper-
classmen.
There is a good fellowship about
the entire system, however, which
does much to make the supposedly un
fortunate yearling feel that his un
usual treatment is for bis own good.
And fraternity men believe the same
way. Exchange.

Moore a Star
Moore, according to Coach Stewart,
is one of the best players he had at
Oregon, and was one of the best on
the Pacific coast. He played a guard
on Stewart's championship team of
1914. His present home is at DeWitt,
Neb., but he will come to Lincoln as
soon as possible, probably reaching
here within three days.
The two new coaches will be used to
direct the freshman team. Halligan
took his post last night and put the
youngsters through their paces.
The arrival of Moore will enable
Stewart and Rutherford to concentrate
on the varsity team and the showing
of last week indicates that this is
needed. Two weeks yet remain before
the first game time enough to round
a team into shape.
GIRLS CLUB WANTS
flEVMEMBERS
ANNUAL CAMPAIGN COMMENCES
ON CAMPUS AT NOON TODAY
Florence Wi?t, Mnaager; Bertha Drift

The annual membership campaign

will be entertained by the losing side.
The University Girl's club is an or
ganization for the purpose of promot
ing good fellowship and democracy
among the girls attending school at
Nebraska. Each year parties are given
under the auspices of the club which
help to get all girls acquainted with
one another. The Girls' Cornhusker
party, held the same night as the Corn
husker banquet for the men, has be
come a University custom and an event
under the supervision of the club that
is looked forward to by every girl in
school. Last spring the Nebraska
