And now comes Kansas. That bit
terest of all Cornhusker rivals. The
aame team that would Just as soon
give up all other games on its schedule
if It could defeat Nebraska; and it's
coming with the idea of administering
said defeat to the Cornhuskers. Let
no one be mistaken on that point
Kansas has never in her history come
to Nebraska with the idea of being
defeated.
Anyone who thinks that the Jay
hawks will be easy "pickln's" has but
to go back Into history a few years
and see what happened in a certain
year when Nebraska had one of the
best teams she has ever had.
It was In the season of 1908 and
the mighty Cornhuskers were about to
close a most successful season. Ames
had been vanquished in a hard game,
played in Omaha, by the score of 23
to 17; Iowa had been drubbed on their
own field by the score of 11 to 8 and
finally the mighty Gophers had been
outplayed and virtually beaten on the
Minnesota field when the Nebraskans
held them ot a 0 to 0 score and had
the ball near the Minnesota goal when
the game ended.
Ancient History
But three games, Kansas, Wabash
and the Carlisle Indians, remained.
Kansas and Wabash would, of course,
be easy, the Cornhuskers would not
need to pay much attention to them
and so could devote all their time to
preparing for the Indians.
"We must have ample room to per
mit differentiation ot organizations and
to prevent our departments from be-
nig reduced to a type," declared Pres
The day of the Kansas game came C. A. Duniway ot the University of
and with it came the poor weak Jay- Wyoming in his address to the West
ern Association or Agricultural Col,
leges and Experiment Stations, Satur
hawks who had scarcely been able to
win their games against weak teams
all season. On this team was a man
who was hardly known until that
day. But on that day and in that
game he acquired a name which will
live long In Valley history. It was the
great and only "Tommy" Johnson,
and from the Mme the first whistle
blew until the end he ran around and
through the dumbfounded Cornhuskers
almost at will.
The final score of that game was 20
to 5 in favor of Kansas, and the only
reason for such a score was the over
confidence of the Nebraska team and
rooters.
Kansas' Hopes
History has a mean little trick ot
repeating itself every so often. Kan
sas has a heavy line and a fast back-
field this year, and down there they
sincerely believe that this is the year
in which they are to get a sweet re
venge for all the years of defeat they
have suffered.
It is up to Nebraska's team and
student body whether this shall hap
pen or not. It Is absolutely certain
that with the Cornhusker team and
rooters doing their best next Saturday
Kansas stands no chance of winning.
The question is, will everyone do his
or her part?
No one doubts that the team will do
their best, but the students have yet
to prove that they can deliver the
goods in a crisis. Are all true Corn
huskers going to make use of this
golden opportunity to shwo that the
old spirit is not dead or are they going
to let it slip like they have many oth
ers. Is the question confronting tne
school now.

The important part played by Cali

prestige in the nation, signifying their
growth in population and impo -tance,
in the opinion of Prof. Leon E. Ayls-

science and sociology at the Univer
sity of Nebraska,
-We may be certain that the super
stition that 'as New Tork goes, so
goes the nation' is refuted and can
be assured that national political cam
paigners will give western states vast
ly more recognition in their plans,"
said Professor Aylsworth.
William J. Bryan, in a statement
issued this week, expressed much the
same view of the situatio nas Profes
sor Aylsworth. Mr. Bryan said that
the importance attached to New York
state as an element In deciding politi
cal battles, bas retarded much progres

Professor Aylsworth believes that

of American government and that de

PROF,
The state high school football cham
pionship remains a tie bewteen Lin
coin and Omaha. For sixty minutes
last Saturday afternoon the teamsrep-
resenting these two schools battled
fiercely on Nebraska field with neither
team able to demonstrate its superior-
The final score was 6 to 6.
' The Touchdowns
Omaha's touchdown . came when
Paynter intercepted a forward pass
and raced seventy yards to the goal
line. Lincoln's was the result of a per
fect forward pass from Griffin to Lamb.
Morearity and Smith did the best
work for Omaha while Lincoln's star.
Griffin, lived up to his reputation, in
spite of a painful Charley-horse.
The teamwork of both elevens was
of a class seldom seen In a high schml
game.

for elementary school and home gar
den work. It tells how to do things
in the most practical way and should
be a great help to all students inter
ested in garden making. Explicit di
rections for every detail of the work in
garden making are given.
The nature of the book can best be
given by repeating some of the chap
ter titles. The first is "The Value of
a riant, and from that one goes on
to "Planning the Garden," "The Seed
and How to Plant It," and "The Soil
and Its Treatment."
Vegetable Discussion
Special dlscuselons are given to vege
tables grown for their roots, those
grown for their green parts and those
raised for their fruit and seed as well
as perennial vegetables.
Diagrams of garden plans, and
many interesting photographs are used

A crowd of eighty members and visi
tors enjoyed the vaudeville program
given by the Union Literary society at
an open meeting last Friday night.
Seven standard numbers, bringing
together a brilliant array of talent
and reputation, comprised the program
which was preceded and accompanied
by the Unvaudeville orchestra. Begin
ning with Pathe's Weekly, in which
Theodore Roosevelt addressing a
crowd of gas-house laborers and Caley
and Corey scoring against Oregon,
were shown in pantomime; the num
bers on the program proceeded to
touch upon every familiar sphere of
the vaudeville stage.
Ivanovitch and Sandovitch Miss
Jessie Baum assisted by Mr. Fowler,
presented the latest stage dances.
Miss Benice Woods as Sarah Heart
burn gave a typical comedy, "Fishing."
Pavlowa Miss Lilian Wirt, gave her
own interpretation of Neitherlander
folk dances. The head-line drama,
"Pyramus and Tysbie, a la mode," a
powerful message to all lovers, was
started by Dorothy Davis and Earl
Starboard.
William Jennings O'Brien
William Jennings O'Brien, as seen
by Seymour Smith, made positively
his last appearance, delivering an
able campaign speech in which he
confessed that he harbored no inten
tions of running again for the presi
dency. An exhibition of mental telepathy
given by Vaughn Russom which mysti
fied and astonished the audience con
cluded the program. He convinced the
audience beyond a doubt that mental
telepathy is "something real."
In a short discussion in which every
person present took a topic for a
three-minute conversation. The Daily
Nebraskan was favorably compared to
the Chicago Herald.
Three hundred University girls Sat
urday afternoon attended the suffrage
tea in Faculty hall of the Temple,
listened to Mrs. William Jennings
Bryan tell why she believed in the
cause, and by their enthusiasm dedi
cated themselves to the campaign to
make Nebraska an equal suffrage state
in 1918.
Braving a day that had suddenly
become icy cold, the girls, representa
tive pf every section of the state,
every class in school, and every or
ganization of girls, listened with eager
ness while Mrs. Bryan went through
the history of the struggles the world
has known for equality and freedom,
and predicted the day of the complcto
enfranchisement ot women.
As a result of the meeting there will
be formed at the University a chapter
of the National Intercollegiate Suffrage
association, an organization which has
chapters in all of the principal girls'
schools and universities in the country,
and which has a chapter in Lincoln
among the alumnae of the University
who are in the city.
Eva Miller, '18, second vice-president
of the Lincoln chapter of the suffrage
organization, presided at the meeting
and introduced the speakers after
briefly explaining the purpose of the
meeting and the aim of the suffrage
society that will be formed.
Mrs. Bryan's Talk
Mrs. Bryan's talk was a serious dis
cussion of the present status of the
suffrage movement, although she made
her points tell by humorous compari
sons that often brought laughter from
her audience. She hurried away at its
conclusion to finish packing, explain
ing that she had left while in the midst
of this work to bring her message to
the University girls.
Men are no longer opposed to higher
education in women, Mrs. Bryan said,
although in its beginning they fought
it as hard if not harder than some of
them are fighting suffrage. She told
of the introduction of higher mathe-
matisc as a study for women in a Mas
sachusetts girls' school in 1829, and ot
the dire prophecies of its effect, made
then. Nothing is thought of women
studying such subjects now, she said.
A warning to the girls that nothing
could be gained by being bitter, was
another part of Mrs. Bryan's message.
"The way to get things out of men is
by indirectness and gentleness," she
asserted, adding that that was a
"sweet thought to dwell upon."
The secret of man's opposition to
suffrage is an Inbred prejudice, handed
down from father to son, Mrs. Bryan
believed. It has lasted as long as the
stars have been shining in heaven,
she said, although she seemed to
think that its day was passing.
Opposition to Progress
Everything that has been done to
advance the convenience and progress
of the world has met with opposition.
People were horrified at the first
matches, at the first cook stoves and
even at the first baby buggies. The
baby buggy argument, that women
would leave the home and neglect their
children, has become very familiar
lately, Mrs. Bryan said.
Even the first street lights were
opposed by the pillars of the church
