PRICE FIVE CENTS TWO THOUSAND STUDENTS IN TORCH LIGHT PARADE Form Line of March Over Six Blocks Long BIGGEST NEBRASKA RALLY Serenade Notre Dame Squad at Lincoln "We Came to Wallop You" Phelan By Dwlght P. Thomas Two thousand loyalr Cornhuskers joined hands last Friday night in on of the biggest parades ever given by the student body. At 7 o'clock a meeting was held in the Armory to inject the proper amount of "pep" in the supporters of the team. After the band had struck off a few lively airs, talks were given by Coach Stew, art and Captain Shaw on the out look for Saturday. These were fol lowed by short, snappy speeches from Prof. H. W. Caldwell. Jean Bur roughs and Captain H. H. Corey and Loren Caley of last year's squad, who were back from the army to see the boys battle the Catholic eleven. Lieut. D. T. Lane was in his former position at the head of the band. After a cheering session the students left the Armory. A line for parade was formed along 12th street with the band in the lead and the women in groups of four abreast following. The men came next In line in files of two. Every one carried a torch which was lighted at a given signal. The band took up U U Unt and the parade started on its march on R, to 16th, and west on 0 until it turnM to the Lincoln, where the Hoosier squad was quartered. At no time in the previous nistory oi ieorutKa una there been such an exhibition of stu dent spirit. From the start the wo men ioined with the men In cheering and in singing the favorite strains of We're Going to the Hamburger Show." The 6nake dance was taken up at once ana soon the streets for over six blocks appeared a moving mass of flame. O street was cleared of all traffic so that the songs of the students mingled with the music of the band converted the whole of the business section Into one great pa vilion for merry-making. Every student cheered with the con fidence that the team was going to win the Saturday's battle. At the Lincoln Captain Phelan and Coach Harper of the Notre Dame team gave short talks of apprecia tion for the reception they received at the hands of the Nebraskans. Cap tain rhelan included in his talk the purpose of his team In coming to Lincoln. His statement. "We did not come to beat you, we came to wallop you." brought forth a full chorus of dissenting groans from the supporters of the Huskers. After short meeting here the crowd march ed back to the Armory, and disbanded satisfied to abide the issues of the game that was to follow. Gives Books to Historical . Society Mrs. D. W. C.

The following letter written to Dr. Lyman by President C. Stanley Hall of Clark university, Worcester, Mass.. is characteristic of the many letters coming to his office daily. "I have been delighted to receive a eonv of vour book (The Essentials of Child Study) and have looked it over with great interest. It is attractive, and oueht to be very serviceable to teachers, because it is a judicious com bination of theory and practice, ana particularly interests me as illustrat ing a method that has been in the makine for a score of years by a sagacious and devoted teacher, who in this day of many lights or an Kinas can keep his perspective."

STATE EDUCATORS DECIDE VACATION QUESTION TONIGT Representatives of All Schools to Meet in Temple Tonight for Conference The state educational conference, made up of representatives from all schools of the state, will be held at the Temple tonight to discuss the question of closing all schools for the cornhusking period. The meeting has been called by Chancellor Avery and the state superintendent on the rec ommendation of the board of regents at their last meeting. A census of all the students taken a short time ago showed that only half of the men were able to husk corn and that they were opposed two- to-one to a full three weeks' vacation. Students who wish to do harvest work may at present obtain fur loughs by applying to the executive dean, and will be given all possible help in making up their work. Doing Its Bit The Home Economics cafeteria at the University Farm is trying to "do its bit" in food conservation by giving students the opportunity . to observe Thesday as "Wheatless" day and Fri day as "Meatless" day. On "Wheat less" day rye and corn bread and corn meal mush are provided as is also wheat bread thus giving the stu dents opportunity to make a patriotic choice. On "Meatless day" fish is the only meat provided but several meat substitutes and cream vegetables make it comparatively easy for the student to choose to do without meat for that one day. The students are showing their patriotism by falling in with the new order of things with out complaint or question.

For the second time in three years last Saturday afternoon Nebraska triumphed over Notre Dame last Saturday afternoon, winning by a score of 7 to 0. It was not as much the fact that the score indicated that Nebraska won, as it was the fact that the Cornhuskers so completely out played the'Hoosiers, that pleased the Nebraska supporters. After the Nebraska score near the middle of the second quarter the Cornhuskers gave the impression of being a cat playing with a mouse. They could gain and they knew it and they went to no extremes to make distance. If they couldn't make dis tance without too much trouble they would punt knowing well that the Catholics were absolutely helpless when It came to advancing that ball, and that the pigskin would be back in their hands before long. Make 12 First Downs Two facts show the comparative merits of the two teams. Nebraska made twelve first downs to the Catho lic's one and the Cornhuskers were set back 105 yards on penalties while the Notre Dame reverses totaled only sixty yards. Penalties on both sides made oppositions to score, few. To pick a star from the Nebraska team would be like picking the brigh est sunbeam on a cloudless day. Johnny Cook the Cornhusker's vet eran quarterback played the best game of his career and one of the best games of generalship that has ever been seen on the Nebraska grid iron. His fifty-five yard return of a Notre Dame punt, putting the ball within scoring distance was the most spectacular play of the day. Bill Day, the Cornhuskers midget center, was the ever-present help on defense. Before the game was two plays old the Hoosiers had felt the power of Day's tackles and from that time until the end of the battle he was "crackin 'em" on all sides. Some critics have been heard to say that Redzewski, the Notre Dame center is one of the best players in the west. If said critics were present Saturday and saw the way in which Day out classed the big Hoosier a different opinion about who is some center might have been forth-coming. Smash Notre Dame Line Otoupalik and Dodson, the Husker fulbacks, put up a line-smashing game that has been unequaled In many a day on a Nebraska team. They were both good for gains every time they carried the ball. Otoupalik was irre sistable in his rushes that brought the Nebraska score. Schellenberg who suffered more punishment than any other man on the team was not given a show. It was evident from the start of the game that the Hoosiers were on the field for one big purpose and that was to stop Schelley. Even with as close watching as he had he man aged to make repeated gains. Stonewalls may come and stone walls may go, but the Nebraska stone wall of Saturday will be remembered as long as football is played at Ne braska. The Catholic backfleld dashed In the line only to stop more suddenly than they had started, and often to be thrown for a loss. Rhodes, Hubka and Rlddell, at the ends smashed the Hoosier interfer: ence as if it had been made of paper and covered up on punts in fine shape.

You can help by sending lists of addresses to The Nebraskan. either mailing them to Station A or telephoning them to tne business omce, a-zwi.
