McMahon Again Dons Moleskins
and Takes His Place in the
Back Field
The shadows Lad begun to fall and
the street lights had begun to glimmer
as the Husker football warriors
tramped home from their dally prac
tice drill at the M strett pary last
n'jht. Coaches Kline and Schissler
-.vorked long and hard with their men,

holes made bythe departure of Dres

artillery officers' training school at
Camp Taylor, Kentucky.
Back Field Reconstructed
The back field underwent almost a
complete reconstruct ion. Brestel had
been worked at a halfback position for
a couple of weeks and then substituted
for Captain Erney Hubka, who was
switched from fullback to left tackle
in order to strengthen the line. Bres
tel left for the training camp and his
station was left vacant.
Halfback Schellenberg was laid out
with an injured neck In the Monday
scrimmage and may not get back In
the lineup hefore the Saturday against
the Tigers. Harold McMahon's return
to the fold after two and a halt weeks
on his back with the influenza, helped
lighten the burden of rebuilding the
LacK neia. Martin and Hartley were
run in and broken in to the new har
ness of the backfield.

SOLDIER-SCHOLARS
HAVE FANTASTICAL
STUDYING METHODS
Professors are probably at a loss'to
know by what methods and at what
times their students prepare their les
sons and under what influences the
soldier-scholar is led to make such
unusually perfect recitations. If some
evening the inquiring mind of the
teacher should compel him to turn his
wandering steps barraekswards and
icad him irto the solitude of tkv sfu
3enis' quarters, he wouU find his pu
pils doing unheard of stunts hi their
marner of study.
In one corner with his nte-
l.ook balanced in the window
si's a lonely priva'e laboriously pen
ning pages of manuscript dealing, pos
sibly, with his Ideas cf what should
he ihe terms of n armistice with the
central powers. On the floor sits an
other, his feet beneath his bunk usl.:
his cot for a desk end leaning against
hl cnft. TI troubled hrow sym
bolizes Math. And yet another stu
dent sits on his cot holding his
only suitcase across his knees and
writes beneath the glow of the hall
light. Giving life to all this show of
intense concentration is the combine!
melody of voice and instrument. Th
plauo in the hail is receiving a great
deal of attention as is the "uke" or
banjo in the far off nook. Every one
is busy, either studying or recreating,
eating or sleeping.
Under the combined influence of
phvsical exercise, good and regiiar
meals, early bed time and early ns ug.

LARGE NUMBER VOTES CAST
BY KHAKI CLAD STUDENTS
S. A. T. C. Men Are Not to Be
Cheated Out of the
Ballot
Nearly six hundred of the khaki
clad S .A. T. C. men at the university
took advantage of the opportunity to
cast the'r vote yesterday, and march
ed in groups cf twenty-five to and
from the polls. Practically every mar.
In the unit of voting age. dropped a:,
vote In the ballot box at some t me
during the day.
The university poldler3 were not nl
lowed to stop and loiter around the
polling booths, and neither were they
1 trmltted to aid in the distribution cf
campaign matter, but were required
to return immediately to the barrack
on the campus. S. A. T. C. mon of the
college section voted between the
hours of ten o'clock and noon, while
those in Section "B" of the detach
ment commenced voting at three
o'clock, and continued until the clos
ing of the polls. But about one hun
dred men of Section "A" were eligible
to the vote because so many of these
men have not yet reached their ma
jority. In Section "B" fully two
thirds of the men were eligible to
vota.

UNIVERSITY OPENS
WAR WORK CAMPAIGN
Monster Mass Meeting to be Held
Friday Morning Rev. Har
mon to Speak
Nebraska to Raise $25,000 of a
Total of 250
Millions
The University of Nebraska has
again been summoned to put forth Its
best efforts to swing its part of the
United War Work campaign which
opens November 11. A monster mass
meeting to arouse the enthusiasm of
university students has been sched
uled for Friday morning at 10 o'clock
at the city auditorium, and all classes
will be dismissed from 10 to 12. The
entire S. A. T. C. unit will march in
a body to the auditorium.
The university's quota In this nation-wide
campaign to raise 250 mill
ions for the actual promotion of war
activities is $25,000. This is but
$10,000 more than Nebraska students
contributed in the campaign last year
when their quota was liberally over
subscribed. Since that time the ulti
mate goal of the national campaign
has been increased fifty per cent, due
to the" fact that we now have over
two million soldiers in France and an
increasingly larger number in training
here.

songs will be a feature of the pro
gram. No subscriptions will be so
licited at this meeting, the purpose
being merely to put forth the alms of
the campaign.
