FOOTBALL SPECIAL
FOR IOWA GAME
The football special for the
Iowa-Nebraska game will leave
Lincoln at 11:30 p. m., Friday
night over the Rock .Island. It
will reach Iowa City in time for
breakfast Saturday. The band
will go. on this train. Any stu
dents who intend to make the
trip are asked to communicate
with Guy E. Reed, manager of
athletics, at once.
The practice on Nebraska field yes
terday looked something like a Yale
or Harvard practice as far as the
number of coaches was concerned.
Max Towle, a former Cornhusker
quarterback, Owen A. Frank, an ex
halfback and Leslie Mann, a Lincoln
boy who played football with the
Springfield Y. M. C. A. team were all
out In addition to the four regular
coaches.
Frank and Halligan were playing
with the scrubs, and with the aid of
Schellenberg, a freshman, they pushed
the varsity up and down the field for
three touchdowns in rapid succession.
Varsity Shows Fight
When the varsity was finally given
the ball, they turned on the scrubs
with a vengeance and, using tackle
bucks and forward passes they
NIGHT CLASSES FOR
SHOP WORKERS
i
ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT TO
OFFER COURSES
Ten Weeks of Lectures to Help Lin
coln Men to Greater Proficiency
in Work
The mechanical engineering depart
ment of the University will offer, be
ginning January 8, 1917. and continu
ing for ten weeks, six courses for
shopmen or others who cannot attend
day school, but who wish- to become
more proficient in their work. Each
course will be given one night each
week in the Mechanical Engineering
building.
Application for entrance into these
classes is to be made to the extension
department, but in the courses in
steam power laboratory and power
plant problems, the applicant must
consult the instructor concerning his
preparation for the work before final
ly being assigned to the subject. The
fees which will be charged have not
been determined upon as yet.
The following courses will be given:
"Engineering Problems Affecting
the Home." by Prof. J. D. Hoffman,
head of the mechanical engineering
department. This class will meet
every Monday evening and consists
of a series of lectures planned to give
a better knowledge of the practical
problems Involved in residence heat
Ing, ventilation and sanitation.

marched up and down the field almost
at will. Dobson showed up in the
limelight when it came to sliding off
tackle.
Kositzky and Wilder showed up well
in the line on both offensive and de
fensive. Kositzky has been steadily
improving this year and threatens to
become one of Nebraska's best guards
of late years.
Rhodes and Otoupalik, defensive ends
were individually coached by Ruther
ford and Mann, and both showed more
knowledge of the finer points than
they have been able to exhibit to date.
Cameron at Center
Cameron, who will fill Moser's place
at center, until his injury has healed,
is fitting in with the team in a sur
prising manner.
Corey and Shaw are playing tha
same kind of an aggressive game as
they have played all season, with the
addition of a little more fight.
Moser, Caley and Riddell were all
absent from the lineup 'last night.
Moser was on the field in uniform but
could do no work and it is very doubt
ful if he will be ready to' work before
Thanksgiving. Caley and Riddell were
both on the field, but not in uniform.
Riddell's Foot Better
Riddell was confined to the hos
pital until yesterday noon, with an
infected foot. The infection has
yielded to treatment, however, and
he will probably be on the field this
afternoon. Caley took a day off to
give some bruises and minor injuries
a chance to heal.
Owen Frank has lost none of his old
time ability in sneaking through the
line and around the ends and for
awhile he made the varsity look rather
foolish. However, as soon as they got
onto his system of play, they made
short work of him.

SOCIOLOGY CLASS
VISITS MANUFACTURING
PLANTS OF LINCOLN
Members in the sociology class,
taught by Mrs. Hattie Plum Williams,
are this week visiting the plants of
the various manufacturing enterprises
in Lincoln and preparing reports of
their investigation. Social conditions,
working conditions, sanitary measures
taken, hours required to work, re
muneration, and rate of production,
are among the questions that are be
ing investigated. It is planned by
these personal investigations to give
the students a practical knowldege of
social conditions as applied to social
movements.

BULLETS ARE NOT AS
EFFICIENT AS GOSPEL
Missionaries Get More Converts in
Proportion to Trials Than War
Bullets Find Mark.
"They say in the war zone that it
takes 1,500 bullets to kill one man,"
said Miss Grace Davis of Korea at
vesper service at the Y. W. C. A. last
evening. "Statistics show that out
of every 400 missionary attempts, one
man is saved. If the warring coun
tries think it is worth while to use
1,500 bullets to kill a man, isn't it
much more worth while 10 make the
400 attempts to save?"
Miss Davis compared the field in
which she is working in the orient to
the prison camps for which we are
raising money. She told of the mil
lions of Chinese women who are pris
oners to darkness, sin and despair,
who are eagerly waiting for someone
to release them.
"How I wish," she added, "that
every woman in the universities and
colleges of today could realize what
unlimited opportunity she has before
her." She spoke of the thousands or
women who do not know there is a
God, yet know that there is a better
life.
Mary Hedrick conducted the meet
ing and Marion Little gave a 'cello
solo. Miss Margaret McPhee told of
the prison camps and explained the
subscription movement now being
launched.

HEAVY COST
Hunzelman Has Broken Ankle
lowans Expect Laun to Be
a Star
(Special to the Daily Nebraskan.)
Iowa City, la., Nov. 21 In spite of
the fact that the state championship
has returned to the university after
resting at Ames for a year, the first
practice of the Hawkeyes yesterday
afternoon in preparation for the Corn
huskers was not as jubilant as it
would have been in other circum
stances. The official report for the
day said:
We invaded enemy territory
Saturday with great success, but
not without considerable losses,
our casualties being about 25 per
cent of effectives. Every objec
tive set was reached and retained
and today we hold solidly every
foot of ground over which we ad
vanced. Hunzelman, guard, is the most seri
ously hurt. He has a broken bone
in his ankle and will be out for the
Test of the season, but in Fosdick
Coach Jones has a regular from last
year who can be thrown into the
breach and who will play the position
well. Davis, halfback and drop
kicker, was unable to report for prac
tice yesterday afternoon because of

DR. HOWARD FOR
AJRV NATION
Asserts College Men Should Take the
Lead in the Movement for
National Prohibition.
Dr. George E. Howard, head of the
department of political science and
sociology, declares, in a letter quoted
in the Survey of November 18, that
"Nothing short of nation-wide prohibi
tion of the manufacture and sale of
alcoholic drinks is adequate. College
and university men and women should
come forward at whatever risk or
sacrifice to claim the leadership in
this great battle for social righteous
ness." The letter is quoted by Rockwell D.
Hunt of the University of Southern
California in his article on "College
Men and the Alcohol Question." Dr.
Howard's letter was written for the
national prohibition committee in
April, 1914.

son promises that he will be in fight

is also temporarily out of shape due
to a severe blow which he received
on the head in the Ames game. In
the encounter with the Cyclones he
was "off in the head'' when removed
and imagined that he was fighting the
Cornhuskers for all he was worth.
Look to Laun.
Iowa followers are counting on Cap
tain Laun for big gains in the game
Saturday. Against Ames the Iowa
leader punted with uucanny accuracy,
and usually so placed his boots that
they went for fifty-five or sixty yards
and then rolled out of bounds so they
could not be returned. Coach Jones
is working this week to develop his
forward passing game, also, and visi
tors at the homecoming Saturday may
see some spectacular work in this re
gard. The Iowa line has been shifted
somewhat in preparation for the Ne
braska invasion. At signal practice
this afternoon Triplett was moved
from tackle to guard iu place of Kelly,
having previously been changed from
end to tackle, and McKee went back
at his old tackle job which he only
lost the middle of last week. Reed
remained at left end, where he has
won a regular berth, although the
lightest man on the first string var

in place of Jenkins and Van Pelt

SHAKESPEARE LOVERS
ATTEND CONVOCATION
PHI BETA KAPPA SOCIETY COM
MEMORATES TERCENTENARY
Faculty Men Tell of Life and Work of
the Dramatist Dr. Hyde
Sang Songs
A big crowd of Shakespeare lovers,
forming the largest convocation audi
ence of the year with the exception of
that at the Cilkcy address last week,
attended the Shakespeare Tercenten
ary program given by the Phi Bel
Kappa society In Memorial hall yester
day at 11 o'clock. Miss Louise Pound,
of the department of English litera
ture, presided as chairman.
"Shakespeare In England," by Prof.
S. B. Class, was the first of three talks
by faculty members of the society.
Professor Gass said that, although the
present war had worked more 111 with
the English stage than such previous
conflicts aa Queen Anne's and the
Napoleonic wars, Shakespeare was
still a potent force in the tendency of
the living stage. That Shakespeare
presented simply and well, was still as
great a drawing card as ever, was the
belief of Professor Gass, wbo said that
It was the stage carpenter, and not
the author, who was responsible for
the current phrase, "Shakespeare
spells ruin," prevalent among theatre
hen.
Shakespeare in Germany
Speaking on "Shakespeare in Ger
many," Prof. A. D. Schrag traced the
profound effect of Shakespearean
drama upon the thought and literature
of Germany after the last half of the
Seventeenth century. Goethe, he said,
owed much to Shakespeare. Modern
German literature up to the period of
