There are twenty-one men taking
Senior law this semester, all of whom
are returned soldiers. A peculiar con
dition oxinted in the law college last
year. Due to unsettled conditions
caused by the war, the law closes
were small, and all students combined
their courses and were taking ihlrd
year work. Thus graduation depleted
the ranks of the Senior law class, and
only the returned soldiers themselves
saved the upperclassmen from b.Mng
a minus quantity this semester.
The number of cards for Junior law
Indicate that forty-eight men have
registered in tjiat year's work, but
this list is also incomplete and it is
estimated that between fifty-five and
sixty men have expressed a desire to
take third year work.
Very incomplete returns horn
freshman law registration shows 118
persons enrolled, several of which
are women. Many upperclassmen in
the university are taking first year
law, and many are here at Nr-b;-;e;ka
from other colleges beginning their law
career, after having received other de
grees elsewhere. A number of special
students are included in the first
year's class, some of whom are men
just back from France.
In the freshman law class are (wo
vocational training men, whose ex
penses are being paid by the United
States government, and who chose
Nebraska from many other schools as
the institution which would best suit
their needs. One of these men is a
Georgian.
The only new professor in the law
college is Professor R. P. Wilson, who
will instruct classes in evidence auu
torts. Mr. Wilson is a son of H. H.
Wilson, formerly a professor in the
university law college, and who re
cently resigned his position alter a
long service which dated back to the
organization of the college In 1830.
The latter is now actively engaged in
practice with the firm Burkett, Wil

Iowa is reputed to have a powerful

The clash with the Hawkeyes will
reveal the strength or weakness of the
Huskers. One week from today the
Scarlet and Cream warriors will be on
the trail. There has been too short a
time to perfect fancy plays, and trick
formations. What the Huskers do
will be the result of the inherent
strength of the team itself. The Ne
braskans will labor under the handi
cap of playing the opening game on
foreign territory.
Iowa Dope.
An idea of the team the Huskers
will battle can be gained from the
following dispatch from Iowa City:
"If the first scrimmage of the season
for the Hawkeyes may he regarded in
any way as an indicator, Iowa is due
for a great season in football. The
appi-aiance of Swnhorst at tackle gave
weight and strength to the left side
of the line and his performance was
by no means the leas; gratifying event
of the matinee rehearsal. From end
to end the line Is unusually heavy,
alt ho the two ends are by no means
giants. Slater. Kaufniann, Heldt.
Mockmore. and Synhorst, who played
f"o;n tackle to tackle on the varsity,
will average around 190 pounds, field
ing and Charlton, who were at ends;
reach the average of the rest of the
line."

Gloomy dope has been trickling out

"Pudge' 'Wyman and "Shorty" Long
would not le in school. Both were
star members of the Minnesota team
in 191fi. Wyman was fullback and
Long quarterback. The reports say
that these were the men upon whom
Dr. H. L. Williams hoped to build his
team this fall. A last Sunday's re

Dr. Williams get that sad look out of
his eyes and turn up the corners of
his drooping mouth."

LINC0LNITES WILL

Rumors reaching Lincoln l'eople
from various sources that General
Pershing had sent definite word that
he rould not visit Lincoln, wee de
nied flatly by Frank D. Eager, chair
man of the committee planning me
reception the returned war leader is
to receive in his home city.
Word has been received, word
ing to Mr. Eager that the general is
now unable to fix the date for his ar
rival but no intimation h;s been made
that he would not come at all.
The rumor, which has been circu
lated freelv. has halted some of the
Plans temporarily and the committee
i,oir w mm-ine slowly until more
definite information is received. It
is suggested by many that General
Pershing will probably remain in
Washington until the return of iVc
ident Wilson at least and that when
that meeting and eonsultaiion is over
he may be expected to make the trip
"in" the meantime the city offieiuls
who have unofficially contracted io
riise 2.000 for the occasion throush
back taxes if possible or out of mew
departments if necessary, are Spin
ning to wonder if the money is really
to be used or if they are goir.tr to
have that additional work for nothing
and that Additional money to put to
other uses, say the relief of the Tex
