Your friend in the army will he the topic for discussion at a mass meeting of ail students this evening at 7 o'clock in the Armory- A man noted in Y. M. C. A. war work will tell you of army conditions, conditions as he actually worked with them, and he will tell you of the plan to raise In the University (15,000 as the part Nebraska wants to give for the pro tection of the moral life of her sol diers. He will put the matter straight up to you as it should be put, without gl6ves. It Is a question of whether or not you are willing to give something for a cause directly devised to watch out for your chum and his chums in the rank and file of America's vast army. You may not be able financial ly to give much, but you can give something. Go tonight and learn the reasons why your help is needed. In keeping with the spirit of the times the first production of the Uni versity players for the season will be given as a benefit for the French War Orphan fund. That is sufficient rea son why it deserves a record-breaking opening night Bat there are other reasons. A production by the University players Is welcomed out in the state with more gusto than the stock companies that hit the Trans continental trail, and they should be a least as much appreciated at home. The play, "The Piper," is an unusual one and is costing the department of dramatics more In royalties than any they have presented for several sea sons. The performance will be a very appropriate one with which to start the dramatic season and the cause to which the box office receipts will go is, needless to say, deserving Stu dents should make their arrange ments for Friday evening accordingly. Nebraska is preparing to welcome her war-time Homecomer. We will all be glad to see him; gladder, in fact, than ever, because we appre ciate bim more these days than we did before. We know better now how much he means to Nebraska, and how much he is doing for her in this crisis. In our pleasure at the anticipation of his coming did you ever stop to wonder whether he would be very glad to see us? Of course he will be happy to bet back on the campus again, to make the rounds, to greet his former instructors, and to see a Nebraska football team better than those he used to cheer to victory wal lop the Missouri Tigers, but will he be pleased with the attitude of stu dents he meets? He will be a very fair and very critical Judge of our worth, what have we to show him? Will he find the same careless, care free point of view we used to hare when our worries and burdens w.ere less, or will he find a truly serfous minded student body working hard to prepare itself for a definite service? Will he find a University spirit divided into innumerable other gang loyalties, disrupted by rowdyism and shammed by an overconfident con ceit, or will he find a stronger, more strongly centered, franker Nebraska spirit? The Nebraskan - opes and be lieves that be wfl find us truly in tune with the duty we have at hand. Commercial Club The Commercial clus will meet Thursday evening. November 8, at 7 o'clock. A speaker will be present and a short business meeting will be held. Place of meeting will be an nonnced on the bulletin boards and In The Nebraskan. AH are urged to be out. STEWART LENGTHENS DAY WITH AID OF "GHOST BALL" Long Practises Helping to Off set Loss of Old Men for Missouri Game For the first time in the history of Nebraska! football the Cornhuskers practiced with a genuine "ghost ball" last night. A ghost ball is nothing more nor less than a white football. It is not painted white; the leather is tanned white. Coach Stewart will give his men several hours of experi ence with the ghost ball before the season has come to a close. Dobson, who has not been absent from the lineup in the four games Ne braska has played this year received a severe Jolt on the leg yesterday af ternoon that may prove serious. It had not been learned late last night whether a small bone had been broken or not. Dobson would be the most serious loss to the team that could be suffered. His line smashing and open-field work, coupled with his kick ing are assets that the Cornhuskers will need in every game that remains on the schedule. Antbes, a new man who has not been given a trial in any of the games so far this season was given a work out at the right-end position yesterday. Although lacking in weight and ex perience Anthes is possessed of a large amount of speed and nerve and with experience will develop into a valu able man. If Anthes is used at end Sam Kellogg will probably be played in the backfield where his weight and speed can be used to the greatest ad vantage in advancing the ball. Shaw. Otoupallk and Riddell were all on the sideline last night keeping clear of scrimmage. Coach Stewart Is making preparations to start the game without the three veterans as it is practically certain that all of them will have to watch the battle from -the side-lines. It had been hoped for a while that at least Captain Shaw would be able to get into the fracas, but his injuries have refused to mend as rapidly as expected and the coach has been grooming men to take his place. Just who will be given the chance to fill in at right tackle, is still a guess. To date DuTeau and Young have the call on the position. Young being in the better condition of the two will probably be chosen to start the game. A hitherto unlooked-for jinx has put in his appearance at the Cornhusaer camp in the way of ineligibility. It has never been necessary in the past to worry over the outcome of mid-semester examinations as they have al ways come near the close of the sea son. This year they came the week after the Michigan trip and as' a re sult some of the men are on - the ragged edge. Other schools of the valley will have the advantage over the Cornhuskers on this score, as their examinations - will not come early enough to interfere with their players' eligibility.

MEMORIAL CONVOCATION FOR E. BENJAMIM ANDREWS (Continued from Page 1) Sufneld for two years. From 1875 to 1879, Dr. Andrews was president of Denison university. From his work at Denison he was called in 1879 to the chair of Homiletics and Pastoral theology in the Newton Theological Institution. Three years later be be came professor of history and po litical economy at Brown university. Dr. Andrews was chancellor of tbe University of Nebraska from 1990 to 1908." His Boyhood Days Ex-Regent W. G. Whltmore, a boy hood friend of Chancellor Andrews, told of his character as it appeared to one more intimately associated with him. "Among the earliest recollections of my life are those of a group of a score or more of healthy, happy, husky boys from five to fifteen years of age, sons of a few families in a rather isolated little New England neighbor hood, scarcely large enough to be called a village. Foremost among them was Ben Andrews I speak the old familiar name reverently natural born leader among boys as he after ward became a leader of men. Of bim. as of Lincoln, it might be truly said that his earfy home experiences were comprised in the single line 'the fhort and simple annals of the poor.' While poor in wordly goods he has the inestimable advantage of being well bora. Ben's father was a minister of the parish.' "When he was only seventeen or eiptheen years old be enlisted. Ben was soon promoted through the va rious noncommissioned offices. It was wben be was a lieutenant in command of a, field battery wben a gunner flinched in performing bis duty, Lieu tenant Andrews leaphd forward, seized the primer and fired tbe gun that be lost his eye." Religiously Devoted to His Work "We whose privileges it was to work with Dr. Andrews either as regents or members of the faculty, know a few others can know, how completely and religiously he devoted hiB talents and his great heart to the good of the University and the state. The influence of the man Is inestim able. He has left the impress of his character upon a whole generation of educated men and women." "While touring in Florida last win ter, Mrs. Whltmore and I spent a few hours in Dr. and Mrs. Andrews' home in Interlachen. Dr. Andrews was brought in his wheel chair out on the broad, sunny veranda. Though un able to move a limb or a hand, utterly helpless, his mind was yet clear and active and his old-time keen humor frequently flashed out in his conver sation." "He manifested a lively interest in university matters and inquired about Lincoln friends. As we parted from him, feeling certain it was for the last time, he said cheerily: 'Tell the boys I am all right,' and from his eye gleamed the courage that still dominated his great soul."
