STRINGENT RULES ISSUED
FOR SMALLPOXPREVENTION
Vaccination or Inspection Re
quired of All on Campus
NEED OF CARE IMPERATIVE
Students Not Successfuly Treated
Within Last Year Must Be Treated
at Once If They Enter Campus
Rules for the prevention of small
pox to be observed by students, faculty
and University employees have been
issued by Dean It. A. Lyman of the
college of pharmacy and physiology
and chairman of the committee on the
prevention of the spread of the epi
demic. It is necessary in view of present
conditions to exercise the greatest
precaution in this matter if a general
epidemic of the disease, both in the
city and the University, is to be
avoided. University authorities are
greatly concerned and are making
every possible effort to combat a fur
ther spread of the disease.
Already a dozen or more cases have
developed among students and there
is a possibility of many more cases be
ing contracted unless everyone pays
the strictest observance to the rules
given out by Dean Lyman. Monday
noon only one new case had been re
ported to the department although
others were known to exist.
The first day's vacation is expected
to serve as an effective check to the
spread of the contagion about the
campus for the present.
Bar the Untreated
When the students return to classes
next Monday morning they will find a
censor at the University entrance to
har their admittance to classes unless
the rules have been observed as is
sued. Those who have been successfully
vaccinated within the past year will
be required to produce certificates of
evidence from their physician. Per
sons having had smallpox will also
need to show statements to that effect.
All others must be examined or vac
cinated. Students remaining in the
city during the Thanksgiving vacation
and those returning early Sunday af
ternoon must report for inspection or
vaccination and receive an official
card which will permit them to enter
the campus on Monday morning.
These cards must be presented at the
Eleventh street entrance before ad
mittance to the campus will be grant
ed. Those not inspected Sunday after
noon will report to the Armory at the
east entrance Monday morning for in
spection or vaccination. Students not
wishing to be vaccinated on account of
religious and other reasons must ar
range for daily inspection.
The Rules
Following are the rules prepared by
Dr. Lyman which will be carried out
under the direction of University au
thorities: All students who have not boon suc
cessfully vaccinated within a year
must be vaccinated at once. Have
this done by your family physician or
some health officer and obtain from
him a statement of the time when it
was done.
If you have been successfully vac
cinated within a year bring a state
ment from the physician who did the
operation.
If you have had smallpox bring a
statement to that effect from the phy
sician who attended you at that time.

FIVE HUNDRED STUDENTS
IN SEASON'S FINAL RALLY
Pep Meeting in Armory Primes
Huskers .for Big Thanks
giving Battle
Nearly five hundred students gath
ered in the Armory last evening in the
biggest rally of the season to prime
the Missouri valley champions for the
big intersectional battle Thursday.
The pep session started with the
singing of the "University Ode," Ne
braska's alma matter song, the band
accompanying, and a short preliminary
run through the varsity yells. Cap
tain Shaw gave the pith of the team's
spirit in the opening talk when he said
that the Cornhuskers would be out to
do their best, and would fight through
to the end. Johnny Cook promised the
students that the team would have a
few surprises in store for the eastern
ers on Turkey day. Otoupalik, the
last of the third-year men to speak, ex
pressed his appreciation of the Ne
braska spirit shown this year, and
promised that if the coach would allow
the hospital corps to get into the game
Thursday the Syracuse eleven would
have to go some to get within striking
distance of the Husker goal.
Coach Stewart gave the dope on the
Thanksgiving contest and showed by
comparative scores that Nebraska was
up against the hardest proposition of
the season. "With the proper spirit
and fight," he said "Nebrsaka has a
chance to win." He said "he had
told the team that if it put up the
same kind of a fight as it did
against Notre Dame that it would
be able to hold the easterners to even
points at least. He urged that the sup
port of every member of the student
body was necessary if the team was to
be at its best.
O. J. Fee. an alumnus and a constant
follower of Nebraska football, told the
students of the spirit that was neces
sary to bring victory to the Corn
husker camp. "The fact," he said,
"that the team members see you are
behind them tonight and will know
that you are boosting for them Thurs
day will make them fight just twice as
hard."
Prof. G. E. Condra closed the rally
in a talk in which he urged that stu
dents get the feeling that Nebraska
men. Nebraska grit and Nebraska
fight are just as good as in other
states. The students must get behind
the team, the team must get together
and all must work with the idea that
real fight and real spirit will bring vic
tory. "If such are the conditions
Thursday," he said. "Nebraska will
bring home the bacon."
Lively Chosen Head
of University Peru Club
Charles E. Lively was elected presi
dent of the Peru club, and Eliza Bod
well was made secretary, at a meeting
of the club at the Women's huiUling
last Saturday evening. Bess Ertol v.v
appointed program chairman for thf
next meeting of the club which will be
held after January first.
This club is one of the oldest orcani-
i zations of the University. It includes
students and faculty members who at
some time attended Pern Normal.
PRESIDENT COMMENDS WORK
OF FOUR-MINUTE MEN
In one hundred and eighteen cities
and towns of Nebraska the division
of four-minute men of the United
States Committee of Public Informa
tion is now organized, with a regi
ment of ever 875 accredited govern
ment speakers to bring to the people,
assembled in theaters, authoritative
information on vital subjects con
nected with the war.
.President Wilson, who authorized
the organization of the division, the
work of which he has requested be ex
tended as rapidly as possible, has
sent the following message to the
Nebraska Four-Minute Men and the
other 14,000: "My best wishes and
continuing interest are with you in
your work as part of the reserve offi
cers' corps in a nation thrice armed
because through your efforts it knows
better the justice of its cause and the
value of what it defends."
Eleven additional chairmen have
been appointed by Prof. M. M. Fogg,
head of the division of Nebraska at
Bloomfleld, VChester, Clarks. Genoa,
Grand Island, Guide Rock. Harvard.
Long Pine, Staplehurst, St. Edward
and Strom sburg.
Syracuse to Be Feared
Coach Stewart was much impressed
with the play of the easterners last
Saturday and described them as the
cleverest and most intelligent team he
has ever seen. The eleven men with
two possible exceptions are short and
heavy built, the type that . move
quickly, though not with a phenomenal
amount of speed. Although not tall
they all show marvelous physical
strength and know no such word as
quit, after they have once started.
The defeat of the Michigan Aggies
last Saturday was accomplished by
this team with four and through part
of the game five substitutes. Finster
wald and Malone, two of the quartet of
star backfield men were saved for Ne
braska and both of the regular guards
were missing from the lineup.
Rrof. M. M. Fogg Appointed
to War Saving's Committee
Prof. M. M. Fogg, state director
of the division of Four-Minute-Men
of the United States committee on
Public Information and recently
made director of the bureau of
speakers and publicity of the Ne
braska State Council of Defense, has
been appointed member of the gov
ernment's state war savings com
mittee. This committee has charge of the
sale ,of $26,000,000 of war savings
certificates. These certificates are in
amounts from 25 cents to $5. Banks
will pay 4 per cent interest on them.
FRESHMEN AND JUNIORS
PLAY TO SCORLESS TIE
First -Year Men Show Greater
Strength but Overconfldence
Hinders Efficient Work
The interclass football champion
ship battle, engaged in by the fresh
man and junior teams yesterday aft
ernoon, ended in a 0 to 0 score. For
once, and it is a great exception in
football, the score nearly indicates
the comparative merits of the two
teams, as they played in that game.
There is little doubt that had the
first year men gone into fche game
with the same spirit as the junior
aggregation did the battlo would
have resulted in a victory for their
eleven. Over-confidence was the
cause of the poor showing made by
the freshmen.
An injury to Melvin Bekins, fresh
man star back, retarded the play
of the team somewhat as he was
counted on for the kicking and for
ward passing as well as the big
gains when carrying' the ball. In
his place Sherman, quarterback on
the first year team, showed up as
a heady player as well as one that
could carry the ball for good gains.
For the juniors Pickett and Brown
played the best 'games, although
Reynolds let presence in the game
be known by stopping several plays.
The Juniors took advantage of every
mispiay of the first year men recov
ering several fumbles and one of
their own punts that had been
blocked.
The next game between the two
teams will be played sometime after
vacation.

HUSKERS FINISH LAST
SCRIMMAGE OF SEASON
Have Last Real Scrimmage
With Freshmen
COUNT ON SPEED TO WIN
Practically All Old Men To Be in
Game Except Riddell Who Is Out
With Injuries
What is supposed to have been the
last scrimmage of the season took
place on Nebraska field yesterday,
with the varsity lined up in a mild
workout with the first-year men. Fear
ing injuries, as the varsity had previ
ously designated the night as "kill-em-off
night," when the freshmen were
supposed to get "what was coming
to 'em," Coach Stewart refused to al
low any hard work.
All the men on the squad are in fair
shape and by Thursday should be in
as good condition as they have been
in at any time this season. Riddell
has not been out to practice since the
Kansas game and will probably be in
citizen clothes at the game, at least
he will have no chance to participate.
Practically every other man on the
squad is in condition to go into the
game if needed. Captain Shaw, Schel
lenberg and McMahon are suffering
from minor injuries' but will probably
all start the game.
Field General Still Unchosen
Whether Cook or McMahon will
start the game at right half is not cer
tain as yet as both men have been
playing the position in the practices
of the week. It is certain that Mc
Mahon will get into the game in the
early stages as his speed will be de
pended upon to gain ground when
other sources fail. The other three
backfield men are almost certain to be
the same as those who started the
Kansas game, Dobson, Schellenberg
and Hubka.
In the line Kellogg and DuTeau will
probably fill the only vacant spots.
Rhodes and Kellogg will be at the
ends; Shaw and Wilder at the tackles
and Kositzky and DuTeau at the
guards with gigantic Bill Day at the
pivot position. Day will have the
hardest opponent on the Syracuse
line to combat. Robinson, the Orange
center has been picked by many critics
as a likely candidate for all-American
honors. According to Coach Stewart,
who saw Syracuse play Saturday, the
big center plays hard and "dirty"
throughout the game and takes all the
punishment that is coming to him
without flinching.
Women to Learn Red
Cross Work for Homes
A Red Cross home nursing class will
be organized the week following
Thanksgiving, open to all women of
the faculty and the administrative
force. Mrs. Max Westerman, a Red
Cross nurse, will direct the course
which consists of fifteen one-hour lec
tures. The object of the course is to pre
pare women for home nursing but
does not qualify the members of the
class to nurse outside their own
homes.
The first meeting of the class will
be held sometime next week, the exact
date to be announced later in The Ne
braskan. At this meeting the time of
the meetings will be decided. More
detailed information may be had from
Miss WTinifred Hyde at L 111.

Daily additions to the Red Triangle
fund have pushed the total near to the
$25,000 mark. Although the active
campaign closed officially with the big
rally last Friday many individuals are
still bringing in their pledges.
A count has been made ct the sub
scriptions to date but no coiaplete re

Thanksgiving vacation.
Nebraska spirit has risen to its
height in this work and although the
financial campaign is at aa end the
