Entered at the postofflce at Lincoln.
Nebraska, as second-class mall matter
under the act of Congress of March 3,
1879.
It will be many a year before the
Syracuse game of 1917 will b for
gotten, for Nebraska field has never
seen so fierce a. struggle nor so fine
a showing of Cornhusker fight It is
a wonderful team that, battling
against a foe of such tremendous
strength, can come from behind and,
with the minutes fast closing down
with irretrievable defeat, march up
the field for a touchdown. That Ne
braska lost, and by a single point, is of
small importance compared to the
fact that she outfought a great op
ponent. Fortune and circumstance
play the deciding part sometimes in
work and play, but the greatest fighter
in the end must win. Whatever the
handicaps, whatever the mishaps, of
last Saturday were, the great truth
remains that Nebraska, when called
upon to give a little more than her
best, was there to give it.
"The Mysterious Malady," or, "Don't
Touch My Left Arm," might be an ap
propriate title for the melodrama be
ing produced on the University
campus this week. Campus medical
men are rushed to death vaccinating
and examining students, and family
doctors in great numbers have been
impressed into service. All of which
is necessary, although it may appeal
to the student as a deuced inconveni
ence. This is the crucial time in the
University's experience with small
pox; if no more cases appear and all
persons are safeguarded against con
tracting the disease, then the threat
ened epidemic will not develop. If,
however, students evade their duty
and the vigilant campus watchmen
then dangerous results may follow.
THE VARSITY BANQUET
Those who fear, for sake of Ne
braska University's reputation, that
the Varsity banquet announced today
is no more than a reincarnation of the
former Cornhusker banquet can safely
cease their worry. If it is to be con
sidered in that light at all, then the
Varsity banquet must be conceived as
Nebraska spirit purged of its degener
ate tendencies, embodied in a new,
justified form. The banquet will take
the place of the old disgrace, just like
someday the people of the state of
Nebraska will build a new, creditable
structure to take the place of the pres
ent state house. ' And it will, too, be
devoted in part to an appreciation of
the 1917 Cornhusker football team,
one of the sturdiest that ever fought
on Nebraska field. But here the re
semblance ends. The Varsity banquet
is not fettered by tradition nor sur
rounded by unsavory recollections. It
is not an Institution that is to exist
Just because it has come down from
the past, but because it has a definite
purpose. There will be no provocation
and no opportunity ,for students to
resort to rowdyism on the assumption
that it is the proper thing to do be
cause it is not. Rowdy tactics have
nothing in common with the concep
tion of the Varsity banquet. .Those
who would like to go Friday evening
to disgrace the University are asked
to stay away.
It is hoped that in the years to come
the new banquet may develop into
one of Nebraska's most helpful tradi
tions. But time will be required to
accomplish this, and the pretensions
of the first banquet are not those of
well-established affairs. To honor
not humilate the team, to furnish
some original, timely "take-offs" on
University people and University prac
tices, and to provide one serious, con
structive talk this is what the first
banquet hopes to do.
Such Is the plan, then which Ne
braska students and faculty men are
asked to support. To those who con
nect such an affair with rowdyism it
has nothing to offer; to those really
interested in Nebraska's welfare it
furnishes a fine chance for the devel
opment of something worthwhile.
NEBRASKA RANKS HIGH
, IN PUBLICITY WORK
"Professor M. M. Fogg, One
of Most Efficient Organ
izers," Says Report
The Nebraska branch of the divi
sion of Four-Minute-Men ranks near
the top in size and effectiveness of
organization. This is the report of
the national director, Wm. McCor-
mick Blair, of Washington, In a
government bulletin, "Four-Minute-
Men News," received last week by
the Lincoln Four-Minute speakers
It held fourth place two weeks ago
with 104 local branches, exceeded
only by New York, Ohio, and Kan
sas. Iowa had 57 and Missouri 40.
"Professor Fogg is one of our of
ficials who has made rapid progress
in the organization of his state, says
Director Blair's report to the 15,000
Four-Minute-Men in the United
States.
To 128 branches the Nebraska or
ganization has since grown. Ten
local chairmen were appointed last
week at Arapahoe. Cedar Bluffs,
Indianola, Lynch, Milford, and at
Clarkson, Deshler, Elmwood, Hooper,
Syracuse (D. F. Best, Law '01).
That the Nebraska Four-Minute-
Men had a large part in the success
of the second liberty loan is the
udgment of the state chairman of
the second liberty loan committee,
T. C. Byrne of Omaha, who writes
Professor Fogg as follows:
"Our committee realizes that it
was largely through the efforts of
the Four-Minute-Men that the sale
of bonds was made both in Omaha
and trhoughout the state and as
chairman of the committee I want
to express my sincere thanks and
gratitude to you for the great help
you gave us."
'EW REGISTER FOR .
SPECIAL SEMESTER
Winter Courses to Run
Weeks for Benefit of
Men From Farms
18
Registration for the mid-year, win
ter semester, was begun yesterday
on both city and farm campus. For
some unknown reason the enrollment
of the first day was rather lighter
than was expected, but as the regi
stration will continue indefinitely,
the number of students in the course
will gradually be increased.
Up to 6 o'clock last night 20 stu
dents had registered in the school
of agriculture, 10 in the college of
agriculture, and 3 in the college of
arts and science. The new semester
was primarily instituted for the
benefit of men living on farms who
would like to have the opportunity
of spending the winter months in
university after the fall harvest is
in, and before the spring planting
occurs. The semester will continue
for 18 weeks and will be out in time
for the men to be on the farms for
the spring planting. Special classes
will be organized for the students
registered in the mid winter semes
ter. The military department wishes to
announce that drill will be given for
those registered for the mid-year
term, if proper arrangements can
be made by students with the regi
strar's office.
Credit for this worit will depend
upon the decision of the registrar's
office.
ABANDON GRIDIRON FOR
SEASON'S INDOOR SPORTS
Athletes Begin Work for Bas
Ketball and Wrestling
Tourneys This Winter
With football giving up its place
In the spotlight, several winter
sports have already prepared to take
its place. Chief among these are
basketball, while wrestling will at
tract the attention of a large num
ber of athletes.
Coach Stewart has indicated that
he will be in charge of basketball
within the next day or two and start
preparations for a hard season.
Hugo Otoupalik, two times western
intercollegiate champion, will have
charge of the wrestling classes.
Wrestling classes will start
Wednesday afternoon and will be
held every Monday, Wednesday and
Friday at 4 o'clock in the Armory
until the middle of the second semes
ter. One hour credit is given for
this work in addition to a chance to
make the wrestling team. Wrestlers
will be needed badly by the Corn
huskers this year as practically all
of last year's team failed to return
to school. .
MILITARY NEWS
Naval Reserve Service
The naval reserve force of the
second naval district at Newport
R. I., Is once more open this time
for 2,000 recruits.
This announcement will mean
much to hundreds of young men
whom circumstances or hesitation
have hitherto prevented from sign
ing up for military duty.
The naval reserve has rightly been
one of the most popular branches
In the war. The officers training
camps, aviation, and the reserve
have proved, to be the three most
promptly filled services.
The advantages of the first wa
the opportunity for a commission, of
the second the chance for daring
and individual w:ork, and of the re
serve, a combination of pracitcally
the best features of both.
Many men in the reserve who have
shown themselves to be possessed
of the necessary qualifications for
offlcership have studied for the reg
ular examinations, passed, and re
ceived commissions as ensigns and
warrant officers.
, Perhaps the greatest allurment
that the reserve force has for-young
men lies in the fact of its varied
kinds of service.
A radio school in the district is
ready to prepare men for positions
as wireless telegraphers In our navy.
Other men have successfully ap
plied for a transfer to the naval
reserve flying corps.
Every week examinations are held
for those who desire to improve
their ratings. These ratings cover
practically every field, and a man
with any boat, ship, mechanical car
penter, or nautical experience can,
in all likelihood, qualify.
Applicants are accepted only for
general service, and if they enlist
and remain in the seaman branches
thev are likely to have an oppor
tunity to see service in one of the
110 footers, those small, fast boats
that are doing scout duty in both
these and foreign waters, on trans-
ports, or the convoy vessels of our
navy.
The central enrolling office Is
located in the war college in New
port, R. I. Letters of inquiry in re
gard to the naval reserve should
be addressed to the enrolling of
ficer, war college, Newport, R. I.,
and the same will be promptly an
swered and the information for
warded. Applications for service in the sec
ond district may be made also at
the Reserve Enrolling Officer, Build
ing 13, Brooklyn Navy Yard, and
the Navy Recruiting Stations in
Newark, New Jersey, Pittsburgh, Pa.,
in Minneapolis, Minn., and in St.
Louis, Mo., and further information
regarding the service may be had
from any regular navy recruiting sta
tion. " To Newport, men have come from
many states. The high reputation of
the district, the large number of
college men enlisted in it, the wide
diversity of opportunity offered, the
zest and attractiveness of small
service have combined to make the
station a powerful magnet.
It is expected that the 2,000 men
required will seize this chance in a
very short time. Unless men hurry
to enroll now, they will doubtless
find that once more the doors of one
of Uncle jSam's most (appealing
services have been irrevocably
closed.
