Daily French Story Is Feature of Ohio Paper "Un petit article en francais" is the latest feature of the Ohio State Lantern.

California Searchlights and the "ghost ball" are the means which Coach Andy Smith is using to give his charges the greatest possible amount of time on the gridiron. The white-tinted pigskin is of inestimable value after dark which comes all too early to suit the energetic coach.

All students are invited to attend Minnesota The engineering quad rangle is leading the other colleges in the liberty loan campaign. "Every engineer a subscriber" is the slogan of the committee which is canvassing that department and the efforts so far seem to indicate that the close of the campaign will find the goal realized. Cornell Under the impetus of the liberty bond movement, Cornell wom en have undertaken to Institute a number of saving devices in order that more funds may be diverted into the government's treasury. Among other things, eighteen century fash ion in dress is being adopted. The change is from silk to cotton, and since it is said to be the line rather than the material of the frock that determines its smartness, the Cornell women see no reason why cotton should not become the proper thing for war times. Many women have pledged themselves to wear "Liberty Bond dresses" to their next evening functions. Columbia News has just been re ceived of the wounding of R. W. Westwood, '19, who is the S. S. U. 64 seeing active service back of the lines in France. The night previous to his injury he drove his ambulance through a German barrage and came through unhurt, although nineteen holes were found in his oar. REVEREND S. MILLS HAYES AT CONVOCATION TODAY Will Speak on "The Holy Roman Empire in the Twentieth Century" "The Holy Roman Empire in the Twentieth Century," is the subject of a discussion by Rev. S.

Reverend Hayes has for many years been a profound student of early Greek and Roman life and institu tions and has written a number of articles on the Greek drama. The degree of doctor of literature was conferred upon him by the Univer sity last June. About 75 students of the news writing classes will report the ad dress. The members of Professor Fogg's classes will use the occasion as a laboratory hour in the analysis, condensation and reporting of ad dresses. The students are instructed to wrrite a 500-word report and sub mit it promptly. Engineers Hold First Smoker of the Year The engineers enjoyed their first smoker of the year at the Alpha Sigma Phi house last Friday eve ning. More than one hundred were present, including many faculty mem passed and money enough was col bers. During the evening a hat was passed and money enough was col lected to raise a Liberty Bond. An other bond will be purchased by the organization later. The engi neers are much interested in the war work, due to the representation which they claim in the various of ficer and conscript camps. The law college is perhaps the only college in school which has a greater propor tionate representation. Potato Takes Deadly. Blow at H. C. L. A record potate crop grown in this state is now . on exhibition at the historical society museum. Two eyes of seed planted under the ordinary conditions in one hill produced twelve hundred and sixteen distinct potatoes. This is a very exceptional crop for this or any other state and is the subject of much discussion among agricultural experts. There are many other interesting exhibits in the museum which may be seen at any time from 8 o'clock to 5 o'clock on all days except Sundays. HUSKERS FIGHT HARD UNDER ADVERSE CONDITIONS No Alibis Made by Coach or Team BREAKS FOR MICHIGAN Nebraska Eleven Begins Preparation for Kansas, Missouri and Syracuse Promise to Make Up for Defeat By Dwight P. Thomas "Don't you think and don't you let anyone think that the boys didn't fight Saturday. There has never been a Nebraska team fight harder than this team did after the score was seven to nothing. But it was a fight against conditions that could not be overcome." These were the first words Coach Stewart had to say about the game with Michigan last Saturday. No alibis were forth coming from the coach or any of the men. They all made the state ment, however, and the fact was ad mitted by Coach Yost, of the Michi gan eleven, that on a dry field the result would have been entirely dif ferent. The Wolverines had been practic ing on a wet field for the past three weeks and had played two games, prior to the one last week, under practically the same conditions that prevailed then. The Cornhuskers have not had a slippery ball in their hands this year to say nothing of unsteady footing. Michigan was fully prepared for a wet field by having extra long cleats on their shoes, while most of the Nebraska team had ordinary shoes. Some of the Details What might have happened on a dry field can be better guessed when a few of the details of the game are looked into. McMahon, the Husker speeder, was twice in the clear with only the Michigan quar terback between him and the goal. It was proved several times during the game that McMahon was much faster than Weston, but on these occasions because "Mac" couldn't make even the simplest kind of a "cut-in" to avoid the tackier he had to run into the waiting Wolverine's arms. A similar thing occurred when Dobson broke through the middle of the Michigan line early in the battle and sped straight down a clear field for 25 yards, only to be met by the Wolverine quarter back, and trying to side step him went down in the mud. This same softness of the field was a big help to Cruse, a Wolverine half back, who went into the lineup in the second half. When called upon to carry the ball he would dive over the line as hard as possible and light on the part of his anatomy that happened to be handiest, which was usually his head. On a dry field one dive would have been the signal for another man to take his place. Weiman, the giant fulback, with the long cleats in his shoes, was able to push the Cornhuskers back time after time after they had made a tackle that would have usually knocked him from his feet. The Wolverine gains through the line can be directly attributed to the fact that the Nebraska secondary defense was unable to get to the play and have enough force left to stop it. If ever one team received all the breaks of a game it was the Michi gan eleven in Saturday's game. Practically every fumble went into their hands and the two goals kicked (Continued on page 2) 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 mailing them to Station A or telephoning them to the business office, B-2597. U A M 1.1. 0. Tonnsend, Chr
