The University "Y" has secured
several men prominent in Red Tri

tures in the near future. Rev. H. II.
Harmon, pastor of the First Chris
tian church, will give several talk as
soon as he recovers from an attack
or Influenza.- Rev. Harman was a Y.
M. C. A. secretary of a division in
France, and is now home on leavr.
"Dad" Elliot, who has charge of the
Y, M. C. A. work in the western dl
vifion of the S. A. T. C, is scheduled
for three lectures. He has been speak
ing to the men in several of the large
cantonments throughout the country,
and his popularity is shown by the
large number of men that always
turn out to hear him. He has spoken
to as many as 14,000 men in a single
week. He is a college man's man.
His many years of experience with
university men have fitted him espe
cially well for Y. M. C. A. work in
tlie S. A. T. C.'s He has already won
a warm place in the heart of every
Husker in service. He has delivered
very inspiring and educational talks
on several occasions, and is always
greeted with enthusiastic applause.
Besides the Y. M. C. A, work in
France, Ov. Tyner has taken part in
actual warfare, and has given the boys
gome very valuable information con
cerning modern methods of lighting.
Besides lectures, there will be oth
er forms of entertainment such as
athletic contests, moving picture
shows and chapel exercises. The
Huskers can rest assured that enough
entertainment will be provided to keep
things lively. The University "Y"
has always "gone over the top" in do
ing its "bit" and the season's enter
tainment will be no exception to their
nsual good work.
A COBBECTION
The Daily Nebraskan wishes to ex
plain that the paragraph printed in
the issue of Friday, October 26. 1918,
casting a reflection on the navy unl
form was without any authorization
on the part of the management of this
paper. The paragraph was put in
merely as a "filler" which is a com
mon practice in the composition or
newspapers and therefore should not
be taken seriously.

University of Nebraska S. A. T. C.
men were given a new topic of con
versation Monday, when they went
through an all day schedule of inten
sive drill. After Saturday's Inocula
tions barrack talk hinged more on
sore arms and quaky sensations, but
when Monday night arrived it brought
to the Husker soldiers a new realiza
tion of army life.
The week's work was opened up
with a swinging into drill of all the
companies in division A Monday morn
ing. Until 11:30 o'clock Lincoln
streets were kept well heated by the
steady tramp of soldiers hoofs so
that when the men took their turns at
the mess table they were able to do
Justice to the portion that filled their
platter.
After dinner, however, summoned
again to the streets for more drill,
they were ground ttirough the mill for
a longer period. At 3 o'clock ques
tions were beginning to bob up as to
how soon the formation would wend
toward the barracks. At four some
were beginning to offer resignation of
their positions and at 5 o'clock there
was an apparent lag in the cadence of
the troops.
March Long Hours
It was the usual time for mess when
the direction of the marching columns
turned in the opposite direction from
the mess hall, and stopped only upon
their arrival at Sheridan boulevard
where they went through a few for
mations at double time up and down
the street and were finally halted for
a short breathing interval.
By the time the troops had been
brought up on a line on the boulevard
the baud arrived and pepped some
lively airs while the columns again
swung Into step. The direction of the
columns was now toward home and so
there was a fighting hope to inspire
the wearv lads to some husky yell
and happy songs as they marched
steadilv along the paved streets.
The sun had already set for the
night by the time the formation had
atari A homeward and the houses
along the way were lighted within
Everv oorch and corner held enthus
BriftBtnrs. and "O ' street
laruv .'i'"-"
corners were visited by persons who
had come to view the long line of re
cruits as they passed under the glow
nf the titreet light.
Tt was well along in the evening
when the line was at last halted be
fore the Armory where Hag ceremon
ies were conducted and the companies
then again were marched off to the
mess hall where they were able to
handle for the first time In their lives,
perhaps, a man's sized meal.
Some days in army lire may have
their charm but the memories of Mon
day. October 28, 1918. will certainly
wilt any future thoughts of "picklns"
In the University of Nebraska student
army training corps.
Y.M.C.A. Is Ever
At the Good Work
A movement to organize Sunday
morning discussion groups among dif
rerent companies of the S. A. T. C
round a ready response from the men.
when a canvass for members was
made Sunday. A number of student
who wished to organize some sort of
bible class work in the barracks un
dertook the t.k and were highly
pleased with the results of the can-
vass. ,
A desire to hare decency and clean
ness the key-note of barrack Ufa at
the University of Nebraska actuated
the movement, and It Is hoped that the
Nebraska unit may keep Itself free
from the gambling evil, and other
forms of obnoxious amusements that
are found In other army camps over
the country. "Dad" Elliot, the great
Y. M. C. A. organizer and evangelist,
visited the group about a week ago
and helped the men plan the work.
Walter Judd, president of the uni
versity Y. M. C. A., and acting com
mander of Company "C," was placed
at the head of the movement, and the
work of organizing the classes within
the companies, was divided among the
members of the group. There will be
no teachers of the classes, but the dis
cussions will be conducted by the men
themelves. In this way all the men
will derive greater personal benefit
from the discussions becVase everyone
will be expected to take part In the de
bates and arguments on the different
subjects to be taken up. All will be
given a chance to express their opin
ions, and new Ideas will be threshed
out by all.
INTER COMPANY BOXING
HATCHES HELD FRIDAY
No Decisions Bendered But Some
Promising Material
Uncovered
Y. M. C. A. Planning to Hold Sim
ilar Programs Throughout
Winter Months
A wealth of boxing talent among
men of S. A. T. C. was discovered Fri
day night, when the Y. M. C. A. put
on exhibition matches between Com
panies A and B, and Companies C and
D in the Temple theatre. "
Usher, of Company A, tipping the
scales at 125 pounds, and Cory, of Com
pany B, at 130, mixed ln a whirlwind
scrap and set the spectators wild.
Kriemelmeyer, of Company D, and Van
Sant, or Company C, who balanced at
200 and 185 pounds respectively, put
on a good exhibition of heavyweight
boxing and Zinc, of Company D, and
Taylor, of Company C. in the 165
pound class, produced a small cyclone
Just before the curtain thudded at
the end of the last program.
The shows run in two shifts. Com
panies A and B occupying the theatre
for the first performance and C. and
D for the second. Medical authori
ties would allow the gathering, upon
condition that only two companies be
admitted at one time, and that the
spectators be seated in alternate
seats.
No Decisions Rendered
The bouts, consisting of two two-
minute rounds, were purely exhibition
matches and no decisions were ren
dered. In fact, it would have been
difficult to pick the winners. Com
pany spirit and inter-company rivalry
were warmed up to fever heat and this
form of entertainment found a ready
responpe from the men.
The participants were called for, ac
cording to weight, and tbey responded
voluntarily. Closs, of Company A, 142
pounds, and Gavenman, 139, of Com
pany B opened the young tournament.
They mixed immediately and put on a
fast go. Block, of Company A, 151,
and Kuntz, of Company B, 155, donned
the mlts tor the second bout Block
felt the mat twice in the first round
but he redeemed himself In the sec
ond round by landing some solid
blows.
Usher and Cory started ln like a
steam exhause but neither one was
able to floor his opponent or show a
decided advantage. Usher showed up
well despite the fact that his size was
against him. Isrlel. of Company A,
at 104 pounds, and Pierce, of Company
B at 144, showed some speed ln their
engagement. Neither had the advant
age In the first round but Isrlel went
down twice in the second stanza.
The last match between the first
two companies was between Mont
Munn, from Company B, who tips the
scales at 192 pounds, and Dana, of
Company A, weighing 172. both mem-

HUSKERS READY
FOR COLLISION
Notre Dame Game Next Saturday
To Be Mighty Battle With
Outcome Doubtful
Northwestern to Fill Turkey Day
Date in Place of Great
Lakes Jackie
All obstacles have been removed,
and nothing but a clear track
stretches out ahead of the coming col
lision between Nebraska and Notre
Dame universities on the Cornhusker
gridiron next Saturday. Coach Kline is
polishing up his machinery and Coach
Rockne is working night and day pre
paring the Notre Dame eng'lne tor the
battle, and all signs point to a mon
ster engagement when the two teams
meet
According to news from Indiana, the
Notre Dame coach considers the Ne
braska game the hardest nut on his
schedule and is planning to meet the
Husker attack In the best way. Their
schedule has been shot to pieces just
like the Cornhuskers', and the only
real game the Hoosiers have been
able to play so far this season on ac
count of the influenza epidemic was
the opening number with Case Col
lege at Cleveland, September 28.
The Cornhusker practice has been
progressing quite favorably of late
and Nebraska officials are optimistic
over the prospects .for Saturday. Di
rector Scott says, "It will be any
body's game," and predicts a whirl
wind clash.
Northwestern for Turkey Day
In his efforts to bag an opponent for
the Cornhuskers' for Thanksgiving,
Professor Scott has wired the man
agement at Northwestern, requesting
a change from November 23 to the
28th. The Great Lakes Jackies, who
were ln prospect for Thanksgiving,
are billed to play Perdue university
on November 30, and cannot come to
Lincoln on Turkey day. Northwest
ern held the Blue Jackets to a score
less tie last Saturday at Chicago and
loom up as Just as formidable oppo
nents as the sailors did. If such an ar
rangement can be made for Thanks
giving, Nebraska will hia tor a game
with Camp Funston or some other
army aggregation for November 23.

C.'s at the Temple theatre Sunday,
