Professor Condra Speaks
For Food Conservation
Dr. E. G., Condra of the geography
and conservation department ad
dressed a meeting at Omaha Thursday
evening in the interest of food con
servation. Dr. Condra has been asked
by Hon. Gurdon W. Wattles, state
food administrator, to address a num
ber of such meetings that will be
held shortly over the state.
The principal object of the meet
ing Thursday was to make plans for
a registration of the food consumers
of the state. An effort will be made
to get every consumer in Nebraska
to register for a movement to follow
out the suggestions of the national
food dictator, and especially to adopt
a wheatless day and a meatless day,
and to prevent waste. Reports were
read at the meeting which showed
what had already been done along this
line by the counties of the state. By
means of the registration, Mr. Wattles
hopes to make this support universal.
UNIVERSITY WOMEN ARE
NEGLECTING RED CROSS
Local Organization Unable to
Satisfy Urgent Demands for
Bandages and Kits
Although over 400 University girls
registered for the Red Cross work
which is being done in Nebraska hall
Tuesday, Thursday and Friday after
noons, under the direction of Mrs.
Samuel Waugh of the city Red Cross,
only some 200 girls are reporting regu
larly for work. There is a lot of work
that should be done at once and more
girls are needed badly.
Last week muslin slings and com
press bandages were made. These
will be shipped direct to France be
fore the holidays. Mrs. A. H. Arm
strong of Lincoln, an expert packer,
will help with the packing. The boxes
will .be lined with waterproof paper
and bound with steel binding. They
will be shipped to Major G. M. P.
Murphy, head of the American Red
Cross clearing house at Paris.
Another sewing machine has been
secured to make the comfort kita
which will be sent wherever the Girls'
club wishes to send .hem, probably to
Fort Snelling.
"Isn't the work fascinating?" a girl
said as she worked Friday afternoon.
"I didn't intend to stay this long, but
here I am. I think it is heaps of fun."
As the girls work women of the
city organization, working with the
yirls, tell interesting phases of the
war. Mrs. Armstrong told of a trench
paper which had been sent to her from
Paris by Mrs. Austin, Major Murphy's
assistant. The paper is written in
French. It was printed in the
trenches.
Mrs. Armstrong received . a note
from Mrs. Austin, congratulating the
Lincoln association on the work it
has done. It is only rarely that a
city association is allowed to ship di
rectly to France, but after inspecting
the work the Lincoln association did
for two years, the national Red Cross
surgical department gave them per
mission. Mrs. Waugh and Mrs. Armstrong
are confident that when University
girls realize how important this work
is that they will turn out in larger
numbers. If every University girl
would spend only one hour a week, an
immense amount could be accom
plished. Mrs. Armstrong said Friday,
The University girls should make
from 3,000 to 4,000 compress bandages
each week."

cies which we, as a foresighted nation,
must avoid are hate, inmorality and
coarseness. He then told a story of
an 6fllcer who reported that "a mine
had exploded and had buried a lot of
men. Some were killed, others we
dug up and used over again." He told
Lof starving prisoners who left the
table without eating because they
simply could not eat the same dread
ful food which was offered to them
day after day. "I gave my life to my
country but it only took my feet,"
once a wounded American said. In
speaking of the sum of money which
was to be ralsedMr. Triker said,
"When I talk about heroes I don't
ask for pennies."

CORNHUSKERS FAIL BEFORE
ATTACKS OF WOLVERINES
On Muddy Field Nebraska
Loses Big Game, 20-0'
THREE MICHIGAN STARS
Weston, Welman and Froemke Pierce
Husker Line for Big Gains
Two Place Kicks
By Ivan G. Beede
Ferry Field, Ann Arbor, Mich., Oct.
27, 1917. The Michigan Wolverines,
playing a brilliant offensive and Bturdy
defensive game, defeated Nebraska
today, 20 to 0. The Cornhusker offense
could not get started, and the ball was
in Nebraska territory most of the
time.
Michigan showed strength in all de
partments of the game, including sev
eral trick plays which battered Ne
braska. Weston, Weiman and Froemke
starred for Michigan, while Dobson
and McMahon played a good game for
Nebraska. The Nebraska stone wall
weaken by the loss of Riddell and the
crippled condition of other men, was
pierced frequently for good gains.
The breaks In the game were with
Michigan throughout. The first touch
down came when Dobson fumbled
on Michigan's seventeen-yard line.
Froemke picked up the ball, and with
excellent interference, raced straight
down the field for a touchdown.
The second score came after Nebras
ka had suffered penalties, which placed
the ball well within her own territory.
Six more points came from place kicks
by Weiman in the third and fourth
periods.
Field Was Muddy
Nebraska and Michigan lined up for
their first game since 1911 on a sloppy
field. It had drizzled steady all day.
The slow field furnished an advantage
to the heavy Michigan eleven.
The crowd filled the stands slowly.
All the seating space was exposed to
the steady downpour. The Michigan
team appeared at 2:25 o'clock. The
Nebraska team came on the field at
2:27 o'clock.
As the Nebraska team took their
places they were handed the following
message sent by The Daily Nebras
kan: "The Armbry is filled with students
and faculty watching every play. Ne
braska spirit and confidence will be
with you at every turn of the game.
Remember that Nebraska fights. Go
to it."
Dobson practiced punting. The ball

SECOND UNIVERSITY
PARTY SATURDAY
Good Entertainment, Refresh
ments and Dancing Make Up
Evening's Attractions
The second All-University party,
which will be held Saturday night in
the Armory, promises to be one of
the most enjoyable and novel events
of the school year. The program will
begin at 7.30 o'clock and there will be
something doing every minute of the
evening.
Just what the program is to be has
not been divulged by the committee
as yet. They promise some original
stunts, however. The decorations are
geing kept secret, too, but it is ru
mored they will be "Hollowe'eny."
Refreshments will be served dur
ing the evening. They also are not
being announced as yet, but students
who ought to know are talking of
brown, sugary doughnuts, cider and
maybe pumpkin pie.
Dancing will begin when the pro
gram is over. J. G. Fowler, who has
charge of this part of the program,
says the music and floor will be "the
best ever."
NEBRASKAN FREE 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 making
them to Station A or telephoning
them to the business office, B-2597.
