,ty ret entirely How Joneg and Capi
nZ at Washington 'because of the tain Roberts, the military commandant
government ruling that the commana
ant shall have full charge of the phys
ical training of the mrn under his
command.
Three recommendations were pass
ed and will be submitted to the auth
orities at Washington:
First That athletic competition be
open to members of division "A" of S.
A. T. C. or S. N. T. C. units only.
This will exclude the soldiers in the
vocational training detachments and
civilian students.
Second That contests be played on
home fields of the contesting teams
only.
Third That the valley schools be
permitted to play their schedules out
as already arranged.
Considerable feeling was displayed
in the discussion over having all con
tests played on the home fields of . one
of the contesting teams. Omaha has
been in the market for Cornhusker
big games for years, and Kansas City
has always put in a bid for Kansas
and Missouri battles. Des Moines Is
anxious to get a few Iowa contests but
the argument al the Missouri valley
meeting finally resulted in a unani
mous vote in favor of the recommen
dation. The exclusion of all men outside of
the training corps is not expected to
hit Nebraska's chances very hard, as
nearly all men in the squad will be in
either the S. A. T. C. or the navy
branch.
Syracuse Game Given Up
Although it was recommended that
the schedules be played as already ar
ranged, the Nebraska-Syracuse game
set for Turkey day has practically
been abandoned. Professor R. D.
Scott, director of athletics at Ne
braska, received a communication
from Syracuse saying that the mat
ter rents entirely with the command
ant there, and he Is not in favor of
making the long trip to Lincoln.
When It was suspected that the New
Yorkers would not come, the Great
Lakes eleven was considered for an
opponent on Thanksgiving, but that
has been given up also as Head Coach
Olcott of the sailors informed Assist
ant Coach Paul Echisster of the Husk
rs, that he had scheduled a game with
Tamp Grant for that date.
Assured of Six Games
Nebraska authorities are scouting
around and a formidable opponent will
be found. Season ticket holders are
assured of six big home games. The
chances of the Nebraska eleven mak
ing the trip to West Virginia are up
to the air, but the matter rests with
Captain Maclvor as to whether the
Jut win be made.
at the Hawkeve institution, have
given their guarantee that their pro
proteges will play. The have figured
train schedules and are planning to
leave Iowa City Friday night and start
for home immediately after the game
Saturday, evening. They have receiv
ed no orders from Washington against
the game and like the Nebraska auth
orities, will go ahead with their sched
ule until notified from headquarters.
Paul Schissler, assistant to Coach
Kline, returned from Iowa City Sun
day where he witnessed the Great
Lakes Bailors trounce the home boys
10 to 0. He was full of bear dope
concerning the Iowa warriors and real
izes that the Huskers must prepare
for a cyclone battle.
Nine Veteran at Iowa
They have nine veterans back in the
line-up and their new men are stars
from last year's freshman squad. The
line averages 180 pounds, is well bal
anced, and works together well.
Coach Jones says the team is 50 per
cent better than last year.
Although deefated by the blue
jackets the Iowa boys showed real
class. They gained the same amount
of ground as their opponents and put
up a superior brand of team work.
The Jackles out-booted them In a spir
ited punting duel but Iowa surpassed
in forward passing. The Hawkeyes
did not use any freshmen in the game,
and against Nebraska the first year
men will probably strengthen that de
partment considerably. Slater, the
negro tackle, punctured the sailors'
line repeatedly and made one thirty
yard run through their defence.
The Cornhuskers wallowed around
In a drizzling rain Monday evening
but with good weather they can get in
the gruelling ' practice necessary to
put them in the proper condition to

Saturday. Sport circles Monday had

MS
Men to Be Put Through Inocula
tions Immediately Upon
Becoming Soldiers
The epidemic of Spanish influenza
which haa visited army camps and
cities all over the country, and which
is piling up a huge death toll
wherever it makes its attacks, has
reached Lincoln and now has made
its appearance in the University.
Every effort will be made to check the
epidemic before it gets a foothold on
the campus. In spite of precautions
now being taken eleven cases are al
ready known to be among students.
One student was sent to the hospital
Tuesday and several others are con
fined to their homes.
All cases among S. A. T. C. men
should be reported to Captain Hamil
ton as soon as known. Any other
cases, whether among students or not,
should be reported immediately to
Dr. R. O. Clapp, in order that any nec
essary precautions or quarantines
can be made. '
Play Safe
Dean Carl C. Engberg when asked
what he considered was the best thing
to do in the present epidemic said:
"The safe thing to do is to play safe,"
and follow the precautions outlined by
Dr. Clapp. These precautions were
read in all classes Tuesday. He em
phasized the care that should be ex
ercised in regard to expectorating in
and about the buildings. He has rec
ommended that signs be put about the
campus reminding students of this
danger.
The private rooming house at 535
No. 16th street reported more cases
than any other one place. There has
been six cases of sickness there, al
though all but one, William Karl, are
now practically recovered. The Lin
coln Commercial club may designate
a temporary Isolation hospital, where
new cases will be rushed immediately
upon discovery. If the new serum re
cently discovered, proves to be a pre
ventative of the disease, school author
ities may Insist upon vaccination.

The innoculation of the student
army training corps men will be be
gun on Wednesday morning. From
that time on the men will be treated
as quickly as practicable.
The effect that the innoculation will
have o . the University classes and
routine has caused much consideration
on the part of the school authorities.
Should the classes be dismissed al
together or should only S. A. T. C. men
be excused, were questions confront
ing the school authorities. It was
flnallv AcvlAoA tA PYCll.lft every S. A.
T. C. man who becomes sick as a re
sult of the treatment.
Regular Classes to Be Conducted
Executive Dean Engberg wants to
announce emphatically, however, that
regular classes will be held all of this
will. Any one not in the S. A. T. C.
who does not attend classes will find
himself one week behind when he re
turns next week.
' In case a professor finds that his
class is composed of nearly all S. A.
T. C. men, he may dismiss the class
in order to keep the class at the same
Dlace in the work. In any case the
individual teachers will notify the stu
dents. The complete details have not been
given out about the inoculation on
Wednesday. In Wedne.-iay morning's
Nebraskan a complete schedule will be
published.

While over four hundred universi
ties and colleges in the United States
are witnessing today the induction of
their youths between the ages of 18
and 21 into the student army training
corps, University of Nebraska will see
approximately fifteen hundred of her
Husker lads transformed from civil
ians to soldiers of Uncle Sam.
Every educational institution will
observe today by conducting ' a pro
gram arranged by Provost Marshal
General Crowder. This program will
Include singing of the .Star Spangled
Banner, taking the oath of allegiance
to the flag by the applicants to the
corps, and reading of orders to the
inducted soldiers from Provost Mar
shal Crowder.
At Nebraska applicants will assem
ble on the athletic field promptly at
10:30 to rehearse their part of the
program.
Neither rain nor storm will prevent
the authorities here from inducting
the men into the army according to
orders.
150,000 Take Oath
At the same time that the local unit
is being sworn In 150,000 other young
Americans from all parts of the coun
try will be taking the same oath. Four
hundred bands will be playing and all
the young men will be repeating the
words of America's national anthem.
The newly organized S. A. T. C.
band will be present with fifty pieces
to participate in tLe national affair.
The director, William Quick, assured
the commandant that the band would
be able to play notwithstanding the
fact that it has had only two practices.
The S. A. T. C. unit at the Univer-
city will consist of nearly 3,000 men.
These will consist of S. A. T. C. men.
S. N. T. C. men and the vocational de
tachments which have been stationed
at Lincoln during the summer.
The national ceremony which will
be conducted this morning is unique in
the history of the United States and
of the whole world. At no time has a
country ever picked 150,000 men to
prepare them in military and techni
cal lines in order to furnish an army
which would go out and uphold the
principles of democracy and freedom.
It is now rumored from reliable
sources that this plan will be carried
on after the war in order to develop
our country along scientific lines and
at the same time be prepared for emer
gencies. The plan eliminates the bad
featur of continual military training
and combines the good features of
training and education In an extreme
ly satisfactory manner.

The Vikings will hold a meeting at
the Kappa Sigma house Wednesday
