Nebr..ka May Play Sma.hinj, Game
or May Count on Speed 4
to Win
Using Syracuse formations the
freshmen shoved over three touch
downs on the varsity yesterday, with
out working very hard at the Job. The
varsity took their turn at advancing
the ball, but had hard work getting
across the line for a single counter.
Several regulars were lacking from
the lineup, notably Captain Shaw and
Wilder Schellenberg was in the
Smmage for only a few minutes
while Dobson was injured early in
the workout and sent to the Gym.
The entire freshmen team was out
playing its older opponents on nearly
every charge. Gains around the end
or through any part of the line were
made with equal ease. Assistant
Coach Frank did the heavy work for
the first year men, and did it so well
that the varsity had hard time catch
ing him, whenever he took the ball.
Varsity Gain on Line
The varsity gains were made for
the most part on line bucks by Hubka
and Dobson. or on tackle smashes by
Cook and McMahon. Hubka and Cook
had fair luck in bucking the line, but
with the aid of the other succeeded in
getting only one touchdown across.
Coach Stewart is still in doubt as to
what kind of a lineup he will have to
face the New Yorkers with. A few
of the men are in danger of being in
eligible when the time for the game
rolls around and have been spending
most of the time the past few days in
trying to work off some of the delin
quencies. Whether the coach intends
to rely on speed or on a smashing
weighty attack will not be known until
the team takes the field on Thanksgiv
ing day.
It is known that the easternsrs use
both kinds, relying for their biggest
gains, however, on line smashes. If
Coach Stewart can develop a defense
that will stop the Orange men and
then adopt similar tactics in the man
ner of attack he may be able to take
the opponents by surprise.

L. M. Palmer of the Aetna Life In
surance company, addressed Mrs. M,
T. England's class in Insurance for
women, on Tuesday evening.
Mr. Palmer told how in the past it
has been extremely hard for women to
obtain insurance of any kind, and that
if gotten at all the premiums were
rated very high. "Most of the insur
ance companies have frowned upon
the idea of women taking out insur
ance, and have hesitated at selling
them policies. Dut at the present time
women can got all the insurance they
want if they are willing to look around
for it and try the different cqmpanies.
And the rate at present Is just on a
par with that charged for men.
"It is logical that the rates charged
for women should be smaller than
those for men on account of the longer
life of women and the consequent
greater length of time that they will
pay premiums into the company. It
is the belief of Mr. Palmer that the
rates for women will eventually fall
to a lower level than that charged for
men."

CO-EDS FINISH SCORELESS
SOCCER SEASON YESTERDAY
Third Game of Season Results
in Tie Decision Game Will
Not Be Played
A scoreless season of soccer was
closed yesterday morning when the
upper and lower classmen met at 11
o'clock on the athletic field. This is
the third game of a series of games
between the two classes, and all have
resulted in no score. Since it ia so
late in the season the tie will not be
played off, but it is hoped that the
games may be continued in the spring.
A rather large number of girls were
out to see the game and arrangements
were made whereby an attendance at
this game could be substituted for a
regular gym class.
Ralph Cowan, physical director of
the Lincoln High school, was referee.
The teams were very well matched
and great interest and enthusiasm was
shown by all who took part.
Those who deserve special mention
for commendable work are: Fay
Breese, Ruth Swenson, Ruby Swenson,
Ruth McKenney, Grace Nichols, Cam
llle Koch and Valentine Minford.
Oberiies Speaks on
"Universality of Religion"
L. C. Oberiies, '95, spoke at the
Y. M. C. A. men's meeting in the Tem
ple last night, on the subject of "The
Universality of Religion."
"Every man of every nationality
has a religion. The Hindu, the Hot
tentot and the man of greater civili
zation alike, has a religious instinct
within. The spark of divine fire is all
but smothered in some, and needs to
be fanned into brighter flame. The
Bible is an expression of the greatest
religion on earth, of which Christ is
the exponent and the .church the in
stitution. The church is criticized; it
has its faults, but it is cowardly to
throw rocks through its stained glass
windows. Let us not add to the rub
bish already within, but work on the
inside to eliminate the undesirable.
The church and Christianity have had
their struggle for existence, but they
shall never die. I commend you as
young men to Jesus Christ, the lead
er, to the Bible, the greatest of all
books, and to the church, the institu
tion established and authorized by the
Man of Galilee."

Dean Lyman Urges
Pharmacy Reforms
Great effort is being made toward
the Improving of professional and sci
entific pharmacy. Dr. R. A. Lyman,
head of the department of pharmacy,
in his address as president of the
American conference of Pharmaceuti
cal faculties at Indianapolis, Ind., ad
vocated among other things that the
period of college training be length
ened and the drug store experience
shortened so as to make pharmaceuti
cal training in our colleges and drug
stores comparable to training in our
medical colleges and hospitals. In so
doing Dr. Lyman stirred up a hornet's
nest among the practical druggists of
America, but his point of view is be
ing supported universally by leading
educators along this line as evi
denced by a series of articles appear
ing in the Druggists' Circular of New
York for November, 1917. As a result
of agitation of this nature on the part
of professors and educators, there is
no doubt but that the whole method
of education and practical experience
will be changed for the betterment of
pharmacy.
WARNING TO HOLDERS
OF STUDENT TICKETS
Gatemen Will Take Up Season
Tickets Not In Purchasers
Hands Thanksgiving
Warning comes from the student ac
tivities' office that all student season
tickets not in the hands of the origi
nal purchaser at the Tranksgiving
game, will be taken up by the gate
keepers and the owners will lose their
right to further use. The tickets are
non-transferable and are issued under
the condition that no one use them
except the purchaser. The manage
ment intend to hold strictly to this
rule at the Syracuse game. The stu
dent will forfeit his right to entrance
to all other athletic events for the
year on his ticket.
Student tickets for the Thanksgiv
ing battle are nearly all taken, but a
few good seats remain. They may be
bought or reserved at the College
Book store. Tickets for the north
stands may be obtained at Harley's
Drug store.
The activities' office says that all
students who had tickets laid aside
without paying a deposit, must get
them within the next few days, as they
will not be held longer.

and the World War." He will speak

Dean Heppner to Confer
With Organization Heads
Dean Amanda Heppner has sent
the following notice to all University
sorority and fraternity houses, to ob
tain the student views of the proper
treatment of chaperones and guests, at
all social functions:
"Thursday evening, November i!. I
wish to confer with representatives of
nil organized houses concerning social
customs and regulations. Will you
kindly send a delegate who can talk
and who will be helpful at such a con
ference? The meeting will be held In
Music hall of the Temple, and will
begin promptly at 8 o'clock."

Acting Dean of Women.
Adm. 205.
MAY USE PEAT MOSS
FOR SURGICAL DRESSINGS
Sphagnum or peat moss will be
used as a substitute for cotton dres
sings in the hospitals if the experi
ments which are now being carried
on in the botany department of the
University of Minnesota prove favor
able. Prof. C. O. Rosendahl of the
department is conferring with the Red
Cross officials in -Duluth and it is
hoped that the substitution will prove
successful, for large quantities of
sphagnum are to be found in Minne
sota. These dressings are not only
cheaper than cotton dressings but
they are really more valuable because
they hare greater absorbent power.

Appeal to Organizations
The following notice has been sent

"To the President:
"You doubtless know about the Pat
riotic Rally to be held Fr y morn
ing from ten to twelve. All classes
are dismissed and Chancellor Avery
says that any who can attend and do
not are slackers. The succces of this
campaign the biggest and most vital
ever presented to the students of the
University depends absolutely . on
every man and woman being present
at the Auditorium at that hour. We
must have all the enthusiasm that can
possibly be worked up on this occa
sion in order to remove the stain of
indifference to our fellows in arms
that now rest upon this student body.
Will you, as president, talk this up in
your organization, especially at din
ner Thursday evening, and make it
the general feeling that every indi
vidual must be in that parade and in
the rally? Watch The Nebraskan for
details.
"For the honor of U. of N. and our
own 'boys.'
"WALTER H. JUDD,
"Chairman of Rally Committee.
The rally has had the hearty co
operation of the faculty, and it is now
up to the students to make a real
demonstration of Nebraska loyalty
