Freshmen Meet Sophomores Tuesday
Afternoon Championship Decided
Next Saturday
In the first, game of the inter-class
football series, played yesterday after
noon, Coach Paul Dobson's team of
juniors triumphed over Coach Otou
palik's aggregation of seniors, by a
score of 19 to 0.
The Juniors' points came from three
touchdowns and one goal from touch
down. Their first touchdown came In
the first quarter. After the Juniors
came within striking distance of the
seniors' goal by means of line smash
ing, Pickett made a long pass to
Brown, who raced across the line.
The try at goal failed. During the
next two quarters, the two teams
played back and forth across the field,
neither side able to score. In the
fourth quarter, Jackson nabbed a pass
from Pickett, and crossed the seniors'
goal for the second touchdown of the
day. Hopkins kicked goal. . A little
later in the quarter, Glenn Hopkins
intercepted a forward pass, and ran
half the length of the field for the
third touchdown.
Juniors Show Strength
For class teams the game was ex
ceptionally well played. The Juniors
outplayed their opponents In all de
partments. In the last quarter, the
seniors took a brace, and for a time,
it looked as if they might score, but
they failed to gain at critical 'mo
ments. The aerial route was used
throughout the game by both sides,
but the juniors got away with their
passes better. Pickett, Brown and
Jackson with their forward passing,
were the most consistent ground gain
ers for the juniors. Thomas, for the
seniors, and Liebers for the juniors,
handled their teams well at quarter.
Andrews did good work for the senior
line and Towle made several plunges
for good gains.

STRICKLER TO LECTURE
ON CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
Local Society Extends Invita
tion to University Public for
Meeting Tomorrow Night
Mr. Virgil O. Strickler, C.S. B., of
ew York city will deliver the annual
,ecture of the University Christian
science society in Temple theatre, to
morrow evening t 8 : 15 o'clock. More
, n usual Interest attaches to his
Besldea being a recognized
authority on Christian Science, he is
rrmer resident of this state and has
many friends here. His wife is a
daughter of Dr. and Mrs. A. L. Hoover
of 2718 Sumner street, Lincoln.
Mr. Strickler is an alumnus of the
University of Virginia. He practiced
law in Omaha for a number of years,
and latter in New York city. There
he became a student of Christian Sci
ence and with characteristic energy
and directness gave up his law prac
tice and soon attained prominence in
that movement in the metropolis. Mr.
Strickler is now in his seventh year
as a member of the authorized lecture
board of the international Christian
Science organization.
Hereditary Characteristics of Rats
A case containing rats is being put
up in Bessey hall for public exhibition
to show the hereditary characteristics
of animals.
Professor Castle of Havard has car
ried on experimental work with ani
mals to show the law of heredity.
Mendol is supposed to have discovered
this law of heredity about 1865 but it
was lost and not rediscovered till 1900.
Since then zoologists have been per
forming many experiments to prove it.
The law states that characteristics of
animals can be mixed up, taken apart
and recombined in successive genera
tions. Trofessor Castle in his work
has shokn that the characteristics of
animals always reappear in the sec
ond generation. The knowledge of
this law of heredity is very valuable
for by following it we can separate or
recombine characters and get new
races.
Y. H. C. A. MEMBERSHIP
PARTY TOMORROW NIGHT
Social Good Time and Get-to-Gether
Meeting Planned for
All Students
The first Y. M. C. A. membership
party of the year will be held in the
association rooms tomorrow night.
This is to be one of a series of similar
entertainment to be given by the as
sociation throughout the school period.
One of the chief purposes of these
meetings is to allow students some
means of broadening their university
associations and to acquaint them with
the various men and activities in
school as well as make them familiar
with the Y. M. C. A., its ideals and the
things it is attempting to do.
The Y. M. C. A. at present is offer
ing one of the most aetive and inter
esting fields in the war and is one of
the most attractive of university ac
tivities due to the amount of training
and first-hand experience that its
members receive.
Saturday night's party will be in the
nature of a "get-together" meeting but
plans are also being made to celebrate
the Cornhusker victory over the Jay
hawkers. All members are urged to
be present and encourage their friends
to attend with them.
MINNESOTA STUDENTS TO
CHEER SNELLING SOLDIERS
A commission has been appointed
at the University of Minnesota to
organize the talent of the university
into a definite body of entertainers to
cheer up the home sick soldiers at
Fort Snelling. All students of special
talent are being urged to register for
service. Dr. Anna Phelan of the pub
lic safety commission has charge of
the work. All entertainments will
be given both on the campus and at
the fort.
Pharmacy Board Holds
Annual Examinations
' The state board of pharmacy held ts
quarterly examination in the labora
tories in the basement of Nebraska
hall Wednesday and Thursday of this
week Only fourteen men from over
the state took the examination to prac
tice pharmacy. Under normal corrfi
ditlons there would have been fifty
or sixty. There are so few because
a large per cent of the pharmacists of
this country are in military service.
More positions for women are open
along this line than ever before. Dr.
R. A Lyman, dean of the Nebraska
College of Pharmacy, says that the
pharmacists in the future will be
greatly handicapped unless the women
offer their services and that there
should be more University girls In this
department. -
Mr H. G. Brady. '12. now a sergeant
in 144th Aerial squadron. Kelly Aero
field, South Antonio, Texas, was a
guest of the University Thursday. Mr.
Brady has Just entered the aero school
and at the end of 'six weeks will re
ceive his commission.
STUDENTS LEAVE TONIGHT
ON CORNHUSKER SPECIAL
Over Two Hundred Loyal Sup
porters to Boost for Team
at Lawrence
Over 200 Cornhusker students will
leave tonight for the scene of the
Kansas-Nebraska battle which will
take place on McCook field at Law
rence tomorrow.
Sleeping accomadations have been
provided and other facilities for the
convenience of the travelers have been
arranged for. The special will leave
from the Union Pacific depot at 10
o'clock tonight and will arrive in Law
rence early tomorrow morning.
The band will have a car reserved
on this special, and a number of Uni
versity officials will accompany as
chaperones. Besides the delegation
leaving on the special there will be a
large number of persons taking differ
ent routes that will witness the game
tomorrow afternoon. Kansas City re
ports the reservation of a, section of
seats by Cornhusker alumni.
Eleven students succeeded in win
ning free trips to the game from the
Colleg Book store and two women
were given tickets as prizes in the
recent Awgwan campaign. The pres
ence of so many loyal Cornhusker stu
dents and alumni will be a great fac
tor in the determination of Saturday's
issue. The rivalry between the two
schools has been greatly increased by
the victory which the Jayhawkers
gained over last year's eleven and col
lege spirit will undoubtedly run high
during the course of tomorrow's con
test. Possibly the greatest element of
support to the team will be the band.
It has been argued before and after
the Michigan game that the team and
the band had to fight together and
that victory could not be guaranteed
without the band. Accordingly the
University authorities have seen fit to
allow Professor Cornell's musicians to
accompany the squad and lend the
peculiar psychological support that
Stewart claims is necessary in such
games as the one to be played to
morrow. Silver Serpents to Give
Party for Junior Girls
Silver Serpent, junior girls' society,
extends an invitation to all junior
girls to attend a party Saturday after
noon, from 2:30 until 5 o'clock, at the
Alpha Xi Delta house. 1527 M street.
The committee hopes that all the girls
Y.M.C.A. WAR WORK
The hold that the army Y. M.
C. A. is taking on the men of the
camps is shown by the senti
ment contained in a humber of
telegrams received from officers
of Omaha units in Camp Dodge,
Des Moines.
Amos Thomas, former Omaha
attorney, now major of cavalry
at Camp Dodge, says in his tele
gram: "During the hours the men
have to themselves the Y. M.
C. A. buildings uniformly appear
to be crowded. There always
seems to be some sort of whole
some entertainments going on
within. The buildings are the
common meeting points of. the
men and serve as places for
them to write home, meet their
friends and families, etc. The
army Y. M. C. A. is playing an
important part in keeping up the
spirit of the men."
Captain H. "Mac" Baldrige,
Battery F, has this to say:
fclf you could only see the
large Y. M. C. A. buildings placed
every quarter of a mile here at
camp filled with men , every
night, reading would realize as I
do the unmeasurable amount of
good that this organixation is do
ing in the army.
"The point is more strongly
brought home when I see the
only other place of recreation
for the men in the city of Des
Moines... Pool halls, dance halls
and other sources of temptation
that always follow the army are
in 'a strong contrast to the
wholesome atmosphere of the
army Y. M. C. A. In my mind
it fills the greatest need of our
great problem toray."
of the third-year class will be present,
as this will be an opportunity for the
juniors to become better acquainted
and to enjoy an afternoon together as
a class. Dancing, a short program,
games and refreshments have been ar
ranged for the entertainment. Ten
cents admission will be charged.
Drug Plants at Michigan
Dr. Henry Kraemer, who is head if
one of the departments of the college
of pharmacy at the University of Mich
igan, has written Dr. R. A. Lyman,
dean of the college of pharmacy of
this University, that they have ac
quired three acres of land upon which
they are going to establish a drug
plant garden. Dr. Kraemer has writ
ten for seeds to use in planting the
garden at Michigan. He will be sup
plied with different varieties from our
own garden.
Robert Waring. '19. who left for the
officers' training camp at Snelling at
the first call for university men last
spring writes to Dean Hastings that
he finds army life quite agreeable and
that there are no longer any remains
of "pacificism" In his system.
Waring is now stationed at Camp
Cody, X. M., and makes a favorable
report on the conditions there. He in
dicates that the work is interesting
and improving daily. There is much
other information of interest con
tained in the letter but the censor
has placed his stamp of "personal and
not for publication" upon it.
IRON SPHYNX PARTY AND
SOPH HOP CANCELLED
Executive Dean Uses Drastic
Measures With Soph Men for
Pre - Olympic Conduct
The Iron Sphynx party and the
sophomore hop will not be given this
year according to the order of the ex
ecutive dean, C. C. Engberg, made pub
lic yesterday. The dean notified the
chairman of the party, Ray Bodwell
and the president of the Iron Sphynx
that these two functions of the sopho
more class would be cancelled from
the social calendar this year.
The reason for such measures being
taken is the conduct of the second
year men before the annual class
scrap last Saturday. Friday night
was spent by the sophomores in re
ducing the number of freshmen that
might enter the Olympics the follow
ing day. During the course of the
elimination processes a number of
carloads of sophomores pulled up
along the city Y. M. C. A. where the
freshmen had blockaded the streets by
placing ladders across them, thus pre
venting the Sophs from going any
fhrther. It was here that the acci
dent occured to Earl Colton who fell
in front of the car driven by Kenneth
Saunders.
Battles before the Olympics was sev
erely criticised by the executive de
partment of the University last year
when similar acts of the sophomores
were made the subject of complaint.
This is a custom hich the authorities
are determined to eliminate and these
measures are taken with the class of
this year to give due warning to the
freshmen who will occupy their places
nert year.
The sophomore hop was scheduled
for January 4 at the Lincoln and the
Iron Sphynr party was to be held No
vember 23.
Harding Is Elected Civil
Engineering Vice-President
P. O. Harding, 'IS, was elected vice
president of the civil engineering so
ciety at a meeting of the society
Wednesday evening, to take the place
of F. R. Hall, '18, who has left school
to join the army. After the business
meeting of the club, G. LIndsey of the
state conservation and land survey
commission gave an illustrated lec
ture on tractors.
Lindsey had intended to tell of the
irrigation project of western Nebraska
but the film which illustrated the talk
did not arrive. Some of the pictures
tht were shown were of Nebraska's
good roads, pictures of the recent trac
tor show at Fremont and some of the
Oregon football trip.
Delian Society
The Delian Literary society will
meet Friday evening, November 16, at
8 o'clock In the Banquet room of the
Temple. A patriotic program has
been arranged and all are invited to
attend.
HUSKERS PRIMED FOR
CHAMPIONSHIP GAME
Finishing Touches Adminis
tered Last Night
SEASON'S BEST LINEUP
Jayhawks Have Best Team in Years
Confident They Will Humble
Nebraska Tomorrow
Finishing touches were put on the
Cornhuskers in yesterday's practice,
polishing the team play of the eleven
that is to battle the Jayhawks Satur
day. A few loose screws were tight
ened, a part sand-papered in one
place and another was smoothed off,
in another and the entire machine was
given an oiling, consisting in instruc
tions from the coach.
Nebraska will undoubtedly go into
the game Saturday with as strong a
lineup as she has had at any time
this season. Captain Shaw and Rid
dell will start the game and Otoupalik
will either start or be on the sidelines
ready to get in if he is needed. The
only thing that is troubling the coach
and team is the strength of the Kan
sas team. And that is causing a big
worry in the Cornhusker camp.
All avenues for alibis from the Kan
sas camp have been closed by state
ments issued from Lawrence in the
past week to the effert that the Jay
hawk eleven this year is admitted by
coaches and players and the whole
school to be the best that has repre
sented the Sunflower state institution
in many a moon. They are even over
looking the departure of Coach Olcott,
declaring that Coach Bond has filled
the old coaches place with entire satis
faction and that the absence of Olcott
will not effect the chances for a Jay
hawk victory.
Danger of Over-Confidence
Nebraskans, on the other hand, al
though claiming no physical weakness
in their eleven are forced to admit
that with the large number of young
sters occupying berths, that are on
the team, and with the tendency of
these same new men to become over
confident, there is a big possibility of
a defeat looming up in the immediate
distance.
Just what kind of a lineup will be
sent against Kansas is a puzzle even
this late in the week. Coach Stewart
has been changing his men from posi
tion to position during the past week
and has not decided just what men
he will use nor where he will use
them. If it should rain between now
and the time for the game tomorrow
afternoon he will probably use the
most weight can muster. If, however,
the field is dry he will probably de
pend on fast hen to advance the ball
and stop the attacks of the Kansans.
Following is the regular Kansas
lineup and the possible Nebraska
lineup:
Neb. Position Kas.

Word has been received from Jo
seph M. Elwell, ex-'18, who is now at
Camp Funston, Kas. He says that he
has already been made sergeant but
that his company is now in quarantine
for spinal menengitis. As this is a
serious and very contagious disease
special care has to be taken in the
camp to prevent it from spreading.
