PRICE FIVE CENTS CATHOLIC ELEVEN STRONG AS THAT OF LAST YEAR Outweighs Nebraska Line 10 Pounds to Man TWO BERGMANS THIS YEAR Still Doubtful If Rlddell and McMahon Will Be Able to Get in Game Saturday "Just like they had last year with two men of the Bergman type in the backfield." It was thus in a few words that Owen Frank, assistant coach, cut out a gigantic task for the varsity in the preparation for Notre Dame. Just what Notre Dame had last year is very vivid in the minds of every Corn husker and the thought of a single Bergman not to speak of two is enough to set knees to quaking. According to Frank the two men in the backfield of the Catholics lack some of the speed of the Flying Dutch man who single handed defeated Ne braska last year, but both men are dangerous at all kinds of football. In the line the Hoosiers will be heavier than the Cornhuskers by more than ten pounds to the man. Riddell May Not Be In. To meet the strong Notre Dame com bination, Coach Stewart will attempt to assemble the strongest team possi ble. There still is a doubt as to whether McMahon and Rlddell will be in the first big game or not. Riddell has been suffering from injuries since early in the season and McMahon has been busy battling an incomplete. Scrimmages started last evening. Monday scrimmages are few and far between, and this one indicates that Coach Stewart intends to leave no stone unturned that might bring vic tory. A number of new formations were tried and sever' ' Notre Dame plays were looked over. Transferred to Mechanical Engi neering Professor L. F. Seaton of the department of agricultural engineer ing, has been transferred to the de partment of mechanfcal engineering. Professor E. E. Gracket will have charge of farm motor and farm ma chinery work; Professor Louis Rey nolds will have charge of all the auto mobile work done in that department. STUDENTS TO ORGANIZE PATRIOTIC LEAGUE Will Meet Tomorrow Night in Memorial Hall Want All Departments Represented A Patriotic league of the students of the University will be organized to morrow evening at 7 o'clock in Me morial hall, for the purpose of uniting the student body for patriotic effort in co-operation with the Patriotic league of the faculty.

The organization will give the stu dents a means by which they can ren der an actual service to both nation and University. At the meeting of the University Commercial club last Friday, a reso lution was passed stating that it was the desire of the club to Bee a stu dents' division of the Patriotic league established, and that the club would do everything in its power to further and help the movement. The committee of the Patriotic league of the faculty, headed by Prof. F. A. Stuff, decided that the new league must be democratic and repre sentative of .the various student groups. A meeting of the representa tives of different organizations was called in order to obtain the views of the students, upon the formation of the league, including the four class presidents, Prof. H. G. Gramlich, from the College of agriculture, and one representative from each graduate college, the special students, and the Universltv Commercial club. The re port from this meeting was " highlyl favorable to "the proposed plan, and the definite arrangements for the meeting for the entire student body were made. As the chief object of the students' league is to lend every available aid in the, winning of the war. It Is hoped that the Nebraska spirit will show It self and bring all students and gradu ates to the meeting Wednesday. New Agricultural Editor R. ..P.

CHANCELLOR APPEALS FOR LIBERTY LOAN SUPPORT Issues Call to Employees War's Success Depends Upon Bond Sale Chancellor Samuel Ave:y, in an im presslve Second Liberty. Loan apneal issued last evening "to all employees of the University," urged that through rigid self-denial, they endeavor to do more than "our Just share," because the successful prosecution of the war, upon the outcome of which depends "the perpetuation of American insti tutions and the lives of our comrades who have joined the colors," turns upon the success of the Liberty Loan. The chancellor states that he has pledged all he could save the past year and all he can hope to save this year through frugal living. Here is his call: "To All Employees of the Uni versity: "The future of our country, the perpetuation of American7 in stitutions, and the lives of our comrades who have Joined the colors, depend on the outcome of the present struggle. The suc cessful prosecution of the war depends upon the success of the Second Liberty Loan. Con we not, in spite of stationary sal aries and the high price of liv ing, through rigid self-denial, do more than our just part? The editors of The Outlook recently wrote to me in regard to the pat riotic efforts of the faculty and students: 'The University of Nebraska is a shining model for the colleges of the country everywhere.' Shall we not now live up to our reputation? Per sonally I have pledged all that I could save in the past year and all that I can hope to save through frugal living in the present year, to the two Liberty Loans. When the third comes I shall find' some way of partici pating in that as .well. The smallest amount subscribed by the poorest paid employee in the institution may represent the final dollars that will make the loan a success." "Yours very sincerely, "S. AVERY." Professor G. E. Barber To Speak Before Engineers Prof. G. E. Barber will address the engineers of the University Wednesday, evening at 7 : 3Q o'clock at a meeting to be held in room 206 M. E. hall. The subject of the lecture will be "Engi neering in Rome." Professor Barber is an authority on this subject and has much of interest for the student in engineering. He will illustrate his lecture with slides which are based on his studies in this field. The lecture will be in substance, a comparative study of ancient and mod ern engineering. Engineers are espe cially invited to take advantage of this opportunity to get a comprehensive view of engineering in both its earlitr and present stages. RED CROSS REGISTRATION TO CONTINUE TODAY Classes In Sewing Begin This After Noon Under Direction of Mrs. ' Samuel Waugh Because all University women were not given a chance to register in the University Women's Red Cross club yesterday, registration is being con tinued today. Membership In this club means that every member go to room 202 Nebraska hall for at least one hour a week and sew under the direction of city Red Cross representatives. Classes begin this afternoon with Mrs. Samuel Waugh in charge. They will not open until 2 o'clock today, but later will begin at nine in the morning and one in the afternoon. Girls may register at a table in the University Y. W. C. A. rooms, of which Margaret Roebling has charge, at the table at the entrance to the Armory, of which Elinor Bennett has charge, or at the table in the library where Orell Freeman has charge. All University women are urged to register. The Red Cross needs sup plies made. -The Girls' club has rented a sewing machine which they will pur chase if there is a sufficient need for it. The University is fitting up the room with chairs and tables. This is undoubtedly the biggest thing the Unl versity women will have the oppor tunity of doing this year, and since the work is actually needed, the girls are expected to help Visit Librarian Miss Jane Roberts, librarian, and Miss Nina Schaffer, ref erence librarian of the State univer sity of Iowa, spent Saturday and Sun day with Librarian M. G. Wyer and wife. Leaves for Training Camp-rClaytori Van Pelt, law '20, left Saturday, night to report for duty at a naval training station in Wisconsin. He had enlisted early in the year in the United States naval reserves, but had not expected to be called upon so soon. Van Pelt was a student at the University of Wisconsin last year, and so had been here but a short time. State Farm Crowded Again That the school of agriculture is again in session is quite evident at the farm campus as there are many small boys, big boys, middle sized boys and men running around the campus. In order to let the boys know that the sidewalk is to walk on it is necessary to put up little boards "keep on the walk," even then they forget they are not fn :he pasture. BAND MAY HELP HUSKERS TROUNCE MICHIGAN TEAM Football Men Say Band Big Asset Would Advertise University and Red Cross With the combination of the hardest schedule ever faced by a Nebraska team and one of the best University bands in the history of the school, foot ball men have already began to ex press their hope that some means will be found to send the cadets with the squad to Michigan next week. It is claimed that the presence of the band on the Michigan trip would not only be a big help to the team but would be a worth-while advertisement both to the University and to the cause of the Red Cross and by creat ing more interest would probably in the long run bring an increase in the fund. A material part of the expense of the trip would be raised by the band men themselves. Coach Stewart's Statement Coach E. J. Stewart said yesterday, "that he believes the chances of the band accompanying the teaz.i to Michi gan depended entirely upon the out come of Saturday's game with Notre Dame. He said, "If we defeat Notre Dame, I believe enthusiasm will run so high that it will seem justifiable to send the band to Michigan, and that some way will be found to do it." Captain Shaw said, "I would cer tainly like to see the band go with us to the Michigan game. Their presence in a big game like that is immensely encouraging, to say the least." Leslie Ellis, captain of the band gave out the following statement concern ing the prospects of the trip, "Every member of the band has no doubt cher ished the hope of going to Michigan; but owing to war-time conditions, I do not .see at present how it will be pos sible to finance such a trip. Should the money come from the proceeds, it would be looked upon by some not as a legitimate expense of the excursion, but as taken from the Red Cross funds. Lincoln people have been called upon for so many various donations and sub scriptions that they wouldn't feel like supporting such a undertaking. 1 have taken up with different parties the matter of another benefit ball, but the sentiment seems to be unfavorable. This year we have the best band Ne braska has ever had. I would cer tainly like to see them help win these two out-of-town games, as well as do seme good advertising for both Ne braska and the Red Cross. If the team and management feel that they need the band, we should be con sidered a legitimate football expense and taken on these trips. Our hopes lie in the various "powers that be." PHARMACEUTICAL SOCIETY IS FIRST DEPARTMENTAL SOCIETY TO PURCHASE LIBERTY BOND The Pharmaceutical society adopted resolutions to purchase a "liberty bond" at its regular meeting Friday. This society claims the distinction of being the first departmental organiza tion in school to purchase one of the bonds. Fraternities and sororities have manifested their spirit of patri otism in this manner and it is thought that before the end of the school year the majority of all societies In the Uni versity will possess some of these gov ernment bonds which are now being Issued in almost any denomination, for the support of the financial program inaugurated by the congress at the be ginning of the war. PATRIOTIC CONVOCATION 11 O'CLOCK THIS MORNING One of Biggest Meetings In Memorial Hall DR. FLING WILL SPEAK Part of jQampaign Among University Students to Make Success of Second Liberty Bond Sale "The Significance of the War and Its Relation to Liberty Bonds," will be discussed by Dr. Fred Morrow Fling, professor of European history, and head of the department of European history, at Convocation at 11 o'clock this morning in Memorial hall. A special effort is being made through this convocation to impress upon faculty members and students of the University the importance of lib- erty bonds in the present war. The Patriotic league of the faculty and the Commercial club are doing what they can to push-the sale of the bonds on the University campus. Through the Patriotic league a personal canvass is being made in every University build ing. This will be one of the biggest con vocations of the school year. The cadet band will be out and probably the cadets in uniform. Recognized As Authority Dr. Fling is recognized as an au thority on war subjects. He has kept in close touch not only with the de velopment of the war at the actual front, but also with the University men who are in active service. Two weeks ago he gave several addressee at Fort Demming. "Every student of the University should buy a bond," Dr. Fling stated yesterday. Many of our University men are giving their entire time and perhaps will be called upon to give their lives, In this war. University students should be willing to sacrifice a little at least to help bring these men back to school. An excellent way to help is to loan money to the allies of the United States.

The executive committee and speak ers for the six Lincoln moving-picture theatres will meet in the parlors of the Commercial club today at 12:45. NEBRASKAN FEEE TO UNIVERSITY SOLDIERS Believing that Nebraska men actively engaged in the war are just as anxious for news from the campus as their former classmates are for word from them, the man agement of The Nebraskan will send the paper free of charge to every Cornhusker soldier whose address is known. You can help by sending lists of addresses to The Nebraskan, either mailing them to Station A or telephoning them to the business office, B-2597.
