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.

tion from many imnienent authorities
on this subject throughout the coun

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."

unearthed a fine specimen of fossil
horse of the genus equus. This is
different from anything found so far
After returning from Arapahoe he
went to Milford where the workers

ished mounting a splendid barn owl.
It stands in an aggressive atttiude
holding a captured mouse in one
claw. The beauty of this bird's
plumage are beyond words. It was
shot by a farmer's wife who thought
it was killing young chickens. The
farmer and his wife were greatly sur
prised to learn that the bird was
merely picking up grain from the
chicken yard.
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.
Three Hundred Attend
Girls' Football Luncheon
Three hundred girls attended the
Girls' Club Football luncheon Satur
day noon at the Temple.
The room was decorated with Ne
braska pennants and "N" blankets.

tress. The following responded to

committee, to make a series of ad
dresses in the interest of food conservation.
.CATHOLICS LOSE
TO HUSKERS. 7-0
Notre Dame Far Outplayed in
Annual Battle, Saturday
NEBRASKA DEFENSE GOOD
John Cook Master of Situation
Througout Game, Making Score
Possible With Brilliant Run.
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.
