Nebraska Eleven Shows Some
Real Speed Against Jayhawkers
Last Saturday
Howarth, Jobes and Hubka Claim
High Honors For Their
Stellar Playing
The Jayhawkers decisive drubbing
at the hands of the Cornhuskcrs laBt
Saturday against such' adverse condi
tions looms up as time goes by and
shows tha Huskers In true proportions.
It was a great exhibition on the part
eleven and too much
Ul HID "
praise cannot be given them.
They have been coming up In every
game so far this seasan and they
promise to surpass any past achieve
ments when they squat down opposite
the soldiers from Camp Dodge, next
Saturday on the Lincoln gridiron.
Harry Howarth's spectacular exhibi
tion of returning Kansas punts excells
anything seen on Nebraska field for
many moons. Again and again, he
caught the slippery oval and slipped
through the Jayhawk forwards which
were bearing down upon him and re
covered the territory lost on the kick.
One time he ducked under the arms
of two Kansas players Just as they
were about to nab him and on he
went splashing through the defense
and was downed only after he had
covered 30 or 40 yards. Howarth's
generalship at quarter-back was su
perb and the attacks he planned sel
dom failed to add a few more acres to
Nebraska territory.
Hubka Up to Standard
Captain Erney Hubka lived up to
the reputation he has been building up
from the first of the season and played
his usual hard, consistant game. Al
though stationed at the tackle posi
tion, he was called upon to carry the
ball eighteen times and in those times
he advanced fifty-seven yards into
enemy territory. ' He booted all the
punts for Nebraska on top of his other
duties and each one was good for thir
ty or more yards. The Jayhawkers
were regular Jokes when they came
to returning his kicks, too. Several
times the Kansas man was downed in
his very tracks and never did he get
away for any material gains.

of the year, and because it is not pos
sible to give the formal this year, the
members of the class are devoting all
their efforts to making the dance on
Saturday night the best possible un
der the circumstances.

LEAVES S. 1. T. C.
Nebraska Commandant Resigns
From Army and Goes at Once
to Washington
Captain Leslie G. Drake is Ap
pointed to Take Charge of
the Detachment
Captain Edmund J. Maclvor, com
manding officer of the University of
Nebraska, S. A. T. C, since its or
ganization, received a telegram yes
terday morning that his application
for resignation from the army had
been accepted by officials at Washing
ton and would take effect immediately.
Within an hour after the receipt of
word regarding his resignation, tha
former captain was en route to Wash
ington where he will step from the
ranks of Uncle Sam's forces Into civ
ilian life.
Successor to Maclvor Arrives
Captain Leslie G. Drake, successor
to Captain E. J. Maclvor, arrived at
the University yesterday, and assum
ed his dutle simmedlately as com
mander of all the troops stationed at
the Nebraska University. Captain
Drake comes from Ellsworth College,
Iowa City, Iowa, at which place he
has acted as commanding officer since
the organization of S. A. T. C. He
received his commission at the sec
ond Fort Harrison officers' training
camp.
Word that Captain Maclvor had left
was passed from one man to another
last evening, few realizing that they
might never see their former com
mandant because of his resignation
from the army. In view of the
fact that he had announced Monday
evening that reports of his leaving
were unfounded, his sudden departure
comes as a complete surprise to his
many friends in the Cornhusker camp.
A communication received by the
former commandant last week an
nounced that another captain was to
be assigned to this unit, but it was
expected that Captain Maclvor would
continue as commandant.
Leaves Unexpectedly for Washington
Announcement was made at army
headquarters that Captain Maclvor
had left in such haste that formal an-
nuoncement of his departure was im
possible. The fact that the new com
mander arrived only a few hours prior
to the receipt of word from. Washing
ton is regarded as a very singular
fact. Whether or not he was aware
of the fact that he was to.be chief
executive of all the troops stationed
here is also a matter of conjecture.
"Present plans contemplate the in
definite carrying on of the S. A. T. C.
program," said Captain Drake last
evening. "Also the same policy with
regard to strict discipline and sol
dierly conduct as has been carried on
by Captain Maclvor will be pursued
by the present commandant."
The fitter the fighter, the faster the
finish.
We Must Finish
Job of Canning
IV. Hohenzollern
Now that Will Hohenzollern (he's
common enough to be called that) is
in "Dutch," as It were, drastic action
must be taken regarding his disposi
tion. A few suggestions are in order,
and in our humble way, wo tender
them.
To-wit:
That he be caged and sent on a
tour of the United States under the
exclusive direction of Ringiing Bros.
That the tour shall Include each
