After digging the clods out of their!
mitted hair and eyebrows, and wring
ing the dirty water out of their uni
forms, during the Sunday vacation,
the Cornhuskers are getting down to
the grueling task of preparing to meet
the Camp Dodge Soldiers on the Ne
braska,gridiron next Saturday.
Ever since he cancelled th6 game
with Northwestern university, sched
uled for November 23,. Director Scott
has been searching the country over
for an opponent for next Saturday,
tod late last week, he completed ne
gotiations with the Camp Dodge coach
to bring his aggregation of pigskin
chasers to Lincoln.
It so happened that the Iowa earn
ers were free on the date that was
open on the Nebraska slate and were
tickled to catch up the Husker offer.
Although the soldiers have bit the
rocks a few times this season they
hare a crackin' good football eleven
and will stack up alongside the Husk
ers in good proportions. They took on
the Municipal Pier bunch at Chicago
last Saturday and came out three
touchdowns in the rear but they were
up against one of the strongest teams
-of the country..
Post Season Games Brewing
Nebraska authorities have several
good post-season games in prospect,
and it they materialize, they will be
played for the benefit of the United
War Work, probably at some southern
camp or school.

RUMORS AFLOAT IN
LWRMY CIP
Statement That S. A. T. C. Dis.
banded and School Closed
Unfounded
Captain Maclvor Not to Leave
Nebraska Unit as
Rumored
The S. A. T. C. is to be dismissed!
School is closed indefinitely!
Dont be alarmed, folks, the above
statements are only wild rumors.
Yesterday was official "rumor day"
on the city campus. With absolutely no
foundation, rumors were wafted upon
every breeze, startling news was cir
culated everywhere, and reporters for
The Nebraskan themselves on the
trail of numerous wild stories.
Early in the day, the rumor that the
students' army training corps was soon
to be disbanded was spread broadcast
upon the campus and the story gained
in force each successive time it
told. This rumor seriously impaired
the morale of the men and studying
was almost forgotten while thoughts
of home were paramount In the minds
of the men.
Captain Maclvor to Remain
Dame Rumor announced also that
Captain Maclvor was soon to leave (he
unit and go to Washington. Soon this
story gained momentum, and as it was
c eyed from one person to another,
finally was told as an actual fact.
Captain Maclvor denied emphatically
the authenticity of this story, saying
that it was merely "a wild rumor.'
The last rumor to gain circulation
upon the campus yesterday concern
ed the Influenza epidemic. According
to the oracles who carried the slcry,
the university was to be closed In
definitely because of the "flu" situa
tion. This report was also found to
be without foundation.
NEBRASKA ALUMNUS

spring and was chosen as one out of

in exhibitions. In one of his Btunt
flights, his machine fell Into a tail
spin at 800 feet and crashed to the
ground Just as he righted It.
Brookley escaped with only a fe
bruises and was flying again in two
days. He is at present working as an

GERMAN RED CROSS
CIRCULAR FUND
A circular of the German Red Cross
was found In the German mathemati
cal Journal which was received re
cently at the university mathematical
library. This journal Is the first that
has been received here since the be
ginning of the war. The pamphlet,
signed by von Hlndenburg as honorary
president, requests subscriptions for
books for the army and tne navy,
and asks the people to be liberal be
cause millions of soldiers required
millions of books. In part the mes
sage ran as follows:
"Help us, that we may draw from
the spring which, in the nation of
poets and thinkers, flows the depth of
German nature. Books are friends
and signify for our army and navy a
spiritual force."
S. N. T .C. UNIFORMS
EXPECTED NEXT WEEK
Naval Officer From Lakes Will
Have Charge of Local
Unit
Nebraska will soon be sporting a
company of uniformed sailors in about
a week If present reports prove true.
A naval inspector from the Great
Lakes visited the local S. N. T. C. unit
last Saturday and was very well
pleased with the work of the conH
pany. He states that the uniforms
will be here in about a week
The dry land "gobs" are more than
anxious to get their new suits Many
have already worn the uniforms which
they borrowed from the men from the
Lakes, but as yet the company has
not ' made its premier appearance in
uniform and according to rumors
about the naval barracks the boys are
expecting "to knock 'em dead" when
they do appear.
The inspector also stated that a
naval officer would be sent here tt
take charge of the company in about
three weeks. Either an ensign or a
chief petty officer will be sent, pre
ferably the former, but probably the
latter.
Indications are that the men will
be allowed to remain on an active
status and complete their school work
here if they so desire. It is also
probable that some of the men will
be permitted to transfer to active
duty.
At present the company is in charge
of an army lieutenant. The company
was recently transferred to tne sec
ond battalion and Is now under fie
Jurisdiction of Lieutenant Sporer.
Are you studying French so -as to be
able to talk with the boys when they
come back?

WORK QUOTA
University Goes "Over the Top"
With Surplus of Several
Thousand Dollars
Members of the S. A. T. C. and
S. N. T. 0. Highly Praised
by Director
"Over the top" by a comfortable
margin was the final outcome of he
university's drive to raise its quota
of $25,000 for the United War Work
campaign. With the close of the cam
paign Monday afternoon the reports
indicated that the quota had been
oversubscribed by several thousand
dollars. Professor A. A. Reed, who
has been directing the work at tho
University of Nebraska, was well
pleased with the results and paid an
especially high tribute to the men of
the S. A. T. C. and the S. N. T. C.
who contributed more than S13.000 to
the fund.
Returns Incomplete
Not all the reports had been sub
mitted at the student activities' office
yesterday afternoon but pledges totall
ing more than the original quota Were
already on file. With a large num
ber to follow and with a number of
organizations yet to complete their
quotas it is certain that the university
has been exceedingly liberal in meet
ing the demands of the hour. Prac
tically all of the separate organiza-
tions and S. A. T.' C. companies have
announced 100 per cent subscriptions.
Rally at Last Moment
The success of the drive was not as
sured until the last few days of the
campaign. Students at first seemed to
have relaxed in their efforts and nu
merous appeals to support the war
activities were sent oat That the stu
dents rallied greatly was evidenced
by the steadily rising mercury in the
huge thermometer. A Jump of ten
thousand dollars Saturday wa3 a phe
nomenal feature of the campaign. This
was caused by a number of subscrip
tions being withheld.

to hie his old carcass to the handiest
mud puddle in the vicinity and stick
his bioomin' face in it.
"In this cup," said Mrs. Snooper, as
she gazed intently at the contents,
"I see a fiendish face. On it there
seems to be a mustache with euds
waxed upward. Something very point
ed appears and stands sky-ward on
top of the very solid looking head.
It's the spear point of a soldier's
helmet! And straight out from the
nose I see tne sunouette or a ust
