k Varsitv men are threatening
all sorts of punishment for tho first
year men when they meet in the last
workout. From the results of the
scrimmages of this week, however,
when the freshmen have been having
the best of it most of the time, it looks
as if the first year men were going to
have a good deal to say about what Is
to occur Monday night.
The scrimmage last night was the
first one of the week that has ap
peared anywhere near satisfactory. In
all the other workouts of the week
the varsity has been hitting the line
and tackling like a second rate high
school eleven, but last night they got
to work and played some real foot
ball. More Gloom for Nebraska
Reports from Syracuse Indicate
that the easterners are coming to Ne
braska with a fear of the Cornhuskers
that Is going to make them fight hard
throughout the game. This is bad
news for the followers of Nebraska,
uil something that was rather un
expected. It was hoped that the east
erners would go into the Thanksglv-
ing day game with a feeling 0f over
confidence and thus give the Nebras
kans a chance to slip something un
expected over on them.
Amusing "Bear Dope"
These same reports also indicate
that the idea has been distributed
throughout the east that Nebraska has
a line that will average 200 pounds
and that the backfield will average
183 pounds. Twenty pounds cut olt
of this weight for the line will still be
one pound heavier than the heaviest
line Nebraska has had on the Held at
any time this season. Fifteen pounds
cut from this backfield average v ill
give almost exactly what the Corn
husker's heaviest backfield will aver
age. These bear stories about the
weight of the Nebraska team will tend
to make the easterners come here with
all the fight they can muster and will
in this way help them materially in
winning the game.
t Plans Variegated Attack
Coach Stewart has been combining
Hubka's weight with McMahon's speed
in the backfield this week in an at
tempt to get a versatile form of of
fense which will keep the Orange
eleven guessing as to whether a line
smash or an end nra or some form of
an aerial attack will be used on each
play. It is generally conceded that
the easterners have the best line in
the east, and it is supposed that they
will make the best use of it when they
meet the Cornhuskers. At least one
veteran, Riddell, will be absent from
the Nebraska lineup and it is possible
that one other will he ineligible to
play on that day.
Dr. Stewart will look the Syracuse
team over when they meet the Michi
gan Aggies next Saturday and hopes
to discover a few secrets that will be
a help to his men in the big Turkey
day battle. The easterners are ex
pected to have an easy time taking
the Michigan farmers into camp, but
the coach is hoping that they will
have to show enough to give him some
sort of an idea as to the style of play
they use.

Night Closed to Further Sched
uling Committee Votes
$100 To Red Triangle
To have the annual all-University
Christmas party on Saturday, the fif
teenth of December, was the decision
of the University party committee, at
a meeting last night.
One hundred dollars, of the. profits
made on University parties this year,
was voted to be turned over to the
Y. M. C. A. Red Triangle fund, to be a
part of the University's contribution
to that work.
It was the decision of the commit
tee to close December 15, to all organ
izations for social affairs, except
those who have already made arrange
ments for parties for that night, and
have them scheduled with Dean Hepp
ner. It has been the custom formerly
this year to close nights for all-University
parties to all organizations
without exception, but inasmuch as
the committee decided on the dal for
the Christmas party so late, the frosh
men hop, at the Lincoln, the Alpha
Delta Pi party at Rosewilde, and the
Gamma Phi Beta, and Sigma Nu house
parties, which have been scheduled,
will be allowed to have their parties
as planned, with merely a request to
change the party date if possible.
The entertainment for the first part
of the Christmast party has been turn
ed over to the Y. W. C. A. and the
Y. M. C. A., who will provide for the
singing of the Christmas carols, and
the Christmas tree celebration.
At the suggestion of Leo McShane
it was voted to have a University flag
of service with a star for every Uni
versity man who has left school to
serve his country. The expense of the
flag will be cared for by the money
raised by all-University parties.

SNELL EXPLAINS NEW
INSURANCE FOR ARMY
N. Z. Snell talked before students of
insurance yesterday on the present
policy of the government in insuring
soldiers and sailors of this country in
accordance with an act of the legis
lature passed upon recently.
This policy has met with the sever
est opposition from the regular estab
lished insurance companies in the
United States. Previous to this act
the government was insuring Ameri
can vessels on marine policies, but the
last step has come as a rather elab
orate measure in the line of life pro
tection. The government offers ont of the
cheapest Insurance policies J"
and forms a company with which the
other lines can hardly compete. Pos
sibly the only objection that can be
raised in connection with this plan is
that the company is in its experimental
stage at a time when death losses are
the most uncertain and mortality rates
are hard to determine.
Large Amount Issued
Already the government has sold
$500,000,000 worth of policies and has
only begun. The policy sells for $8.00
a thousand, a price about one-fifth that
charged for soldiers and sailors by the
insurance companies. The policy is
to run through the term of the war
and five years afterwards. The new
system will rid the soldiers of all wor
ry about insurance. The soldier or
sailor can arrange with the govern
ment for the price of the policy to be
taken out of the month's salary and
paid on the insurance policy.
It is not yet known whether or not
the government will maintain the in
surance department after the war, but
if it does it can be confident of a wide
patronage.
UNDERCLASS TEAMS CLASH
IN SECOND GAME TODAY
Championship Scrap with Jun
iors Takes Place Monday at
2 O'clock
The sophomore and freshmen foot
ball teams will make another start
this afternoon at 2 o'clock to see if
they can determine which should have
the chance to try their luck with the
confident Juniors. The showing made
in the game Tuesday gives the edge
to the first year men, as they showed
that they had the "punch" in the Virst
encounter.
The championship game, between
the winner today and the Juniors will
be played Monday at 2 o'clock. Jun
iors are already claiming the victory
in that encounter, but it is thought
that either one of the teams battling
today will have something to say as
to who shall win the championship
game.
by the Military department, to fall
into regular places with arms, at 9:55
o'clock, this morning. Roll will be
called, and all who do not respond will
be counted absent. There will be no
drill for cadets this afternoon
All organizations have been urged
to be responsible for the attendance of
their members. The entire faculty has
put forth every effort to co-operate
with the committee to make this rally
a real Nebraska meeting, and students
as a body will do their part to make it
a success. Chancellor Avery said yes
terday that this was a rally for pat
riots, only, and that if there are any
"slackers" they are invited to "go
home and hide their heads."
The Complete Program
The program will commence at
10:20 o'clock, and will be opened with
University yells led by Frances Whit
more and Dwight Thomas; and "The
Star Spangled Banner," led by Mrs.
Carrie B. Raymond. Chancellor S.
Avery will preside at the rally, and
will give the opening address. Fol
lowing there will be short peppy talks

LAST RALLY COMES
MONDAY EVENING
Rooters Will Hold Council of
War in Armory for
Syracuse
At 7 o'clock next Monday evening in
the chapel, Cornhusker rooters will
gather for the last time this season
to cheer the team on to victory in its
biggest battle, that with Syracuse,
Thanksgiving day. It is planned to
make the rally the largest of the sea
son so that it will be fully in line with
the big preparations the Cornhuskers
are making for the final game of the
season.
The mass meeting will not only be
devoted to a council of war as to what
Nebraska is to do with Syracuse when
the eastern team comes out to visit us,
but will also be the occasion for re
hearsing the Kansas game which
brought Nebraska another Missouri
Valley championship. It will be the
one chance rooters will have to dem
onstrate their pride to the team.
In some ways the hour set is Incon
venient, but it has, on the other hand,
some advantages. It is not too far
distant in time from the battle, and
yet not so close upon it that Coach
Stewart will object to having all the
team up on the platform for the audi
ence to admire. A special row of
seats will be placed upon the plat
form for the varsity squad and coach
ing staff.
In arranging the hour from 7 to 8
o'clock Monday evening, the commit
tee in charge made the only choice
possible under the circumstances, and
it has asked that student organiza
tions make some sacrifice of plans in
order to make the attendance at the
last rally a record-breaking affair.
Fraternities have been asked to hold
their weekly meetings at another hour
and some have decided to postpone
their sessions altogether until after
vacation, since there will be Lnt two
days of school next week. It is the
belief of the committee that Nebraska
students will gladly bear this Incon
venience that the team may be given
the monster rally it deserves.
The list of speakers for the closing
