ing Freshmen in Wednes
day Scrimmage
The Cornhuskers leave for Minne
apolis today at 4:30 p. m. The cadet
bHnd will escort the twenty-two grid
warriors to the Burlington station
and a large following of students will
Join on old Number One as the train
pulls out. Several members of the
squad. Including Jobes, Schelly, lay
man, and Wade Munn. have not
thoroughly recovered from the shock
of the Hawkeye clash. Their condi
tion Saturday will be a determining
factor In the battle.
The muddy field slackened the
ttpeed of the football practice Wed
nesday. Nevertheless the varsity
dashed through the Freshman lineup
for two touchdowns in short order.
Four stars were absent from the line
up: Hubka, Jobes, W. Munn and Ly
man, but they are due to report for
practice today and will make he
the Minnesota trip.
The varsity backfield had little
trouble in pounding the Freshman
line for consistent gains. Dale, Cy
preanson and Wright found many
sizable openings. Dobson made good
gains arounds the ends and Howarm
and Rusell also added several yards.
Smith was used at quarter and calied
the signals for a number of plays.
The varsity lineup used by Coach
Schulte waB as follows:
R. E. Kellogg, Anthes.
R. T. Bogue.
R. G. M. Munn.
C. Day, Triplett.
L. G. Jungmeyer, Pucelik.

The Freshman team is rapidly de
veloping into a . powerful machine.
Martin, Perry and Hoy in the back
field pierces the varsity line for tre
quent gains yesterday. Strain at
quarterback is an able general and
brilliant open field runner. The iine
is exceptionally strong and on many
occasions presents a stone wall to
varsity attacks. These are the rea
sons why the first string men do not
pile up heavy scores against, the
Freshmen. No games nave as yet
been scheduled but several . pros

Ohio Marks Her Freshmen
Columbns, O., Oct. 8. Frebbmen
without the official yearling skull

time gaining entrance to Ohio field
next Saturday, when Ohio State plays
Ohio Wesleyan.
At a meeting Tuesday noon of the
Boost Ohio committee, it was decided
to reserve a section in the west bleach
ers for the first-year students, but no
one wil be admitted unless he wears

game from any other seats.
The Boost Ohio committee went on
record as favoring the appointment of
members of Bucket and Dipper as a
strong-arm squad to see that fresh
men adhere to the rules and regula

the committee.

INSTRUCTORS ARE
IN GREAT DEMAND
Crowded Classes Are a Feature
of Universities Throughout
the Country
The unusually heavy registration at
the uaiversity this fall, coupled witn
the extreme difficulty in obtaining a
sufficiently large faculty has caused
some complaint. In reference to this,
Dean P. M. Buck of the College of
Arts and Sciences has issued the fol
lowing statement:
"There have been good grounds ror
complaint on the part of both stu
dents and faculty owing to the quite
unexpected heavy registration partic
ularly in the freshman classes this
fall. Many classes have been uncom
fortably crowded, instructors have
found themselves overworked and stu
dents confused. by the frequent shifts
necessary in the schedules owing to
new classes being formed. Particular
ly has this congestion been apparent
in the departments of - mathematics
and the modern languages. As rapid
ly as possible the authorities of the
university have been supplying the
need of instructors, but at best it is
goinng to be difficult to find persons
qualified to do the work in a perfectly
satisfactory manner. Even after every
possible gap has been filled, students
will find at least for this semester '.hat
the clases wil be crowded and many
will be the discomforts due to the
working under adverse condition?.
"Undue criticism, however, should
not be indulged in, even though cir
cumstances here at the university are
not perfectly ideal in all departments.
Every university in this country is
goinng through the same difficulties.
A telegram was recently sent to ine
University of Nebraska asking for an
instructor in English. The reply came
the same day: "We need six instruc
tors ourselves. Sorry we cannot help
you." The university of Michigan re
ports five hundred freshmen in Span
ish whom the instructors are unablu to
take care of. Some of the classes run
to one hundred or over. Fortunately
here in Nebraska conditions in neither
of these departments are not so ser
ious as at the larger universities
named. Practically every department
in every university which gives a
course open to beginning studenta is
feeling the pressure of numbers. Steps
are being taken'now to meet the de
mand. Qualified instructors are be
ing called as rapidly as their services
can be secured. It may take even a
year to find conditions stabilized. In
the meanwhile students, faculty, pat
rons and the public in general should
be patient. Authorities of the un.--f?r-slty
are not going to allow the needs
of the students to be neglected. They
are doing the best they can to meet
the difficult situation."
STUDENTS GUILTY OF
HAZING FRESHMAN
GET JAIL SENTENCES
Christlansburg, Va., Oct. 7. Four
students at Virginia Polytechnical In
stitute were found guilty of assault
by a Montgomery county jury last
night because of participation in a
hazing episode at the school last
spring, and Bernard Sigel of Newport
News, one of the number, was sen
tenced to a year in the penitentiary.
John Fox, a freshman at the institute
at the time testified during the trial
that Injuries he sustained at the hands
of the four, who were Bophomores, re
sulted In paralysis of his spine.
The three other students received
respectively sentences of six months
In Jail, thirty days in Jail, and buy
dollars fine.
Fox said that Sigel had pounded
him in the small of the back with a
bed slat, and that the other three did
the same but had not used much
force.
TRACK MEN SHOULD
START FALL TRAINING
Lack of Equipment Has Hind
ered Plans for Early
Work
Several Old Stars Have Pur.
chased Own Suits and are
Digging the Cinders
Track men who clierlnh genuine
deslreB to accomplish something on
the cinder path are being urged to
start the fall training at once. The
man who will win honors in the 1920
season, acordlng to Coach Schuue,
AslHtant Coach Schlasler, and Cap
tain McMahon, will be the one who
has taken advantage or the Tall per
iod. The opening proper of the autumn
training season has been delayed at
Nebraska by a lack of equipment.
Only ,tlpse who owned or bougru
their own suits have been on the
track bo far. Several of the old tim
ers have procured their outfits and
have been working for two weeks.
Glen Graf may be seen most any a
ternoon stretching out and getting
that stride In trim which will carry
him over the mile and two mile cours
es next spring. Captain McMahon
has also been sharpening his spikes
out on the track.
Many men with track aspirations
have inquired when they should get to
work. Coach Schulte has been telling
them that they couldn't hit the trail
too quickly. Reports from nearly ev
ery other large university in the coun
try tell of a large squad out for t,m
fall work. At Nebraska so far tms
year only a few of the veterans who
realize the value of fall and winter
work have started training. One of
the men remarked the other cay:
"Some of these birds think that just
because they won a few races in n-gn
school they can step out some time
next May and clean up the Valley."
Asistant Coach Schissler said last
night that the men who make good
next season will start training now.
"The fall work adds another season
to their experience," Schissler de
clared. Coach Schulte Is known all over the
country as the man who produced
Simpson and Sylvester and has turn
ed out winning track teams at Miss
ouri year after year. He said on ar
riving in Lincoln, "Nebraska should
have 200 men out for track. We
always had more than a hundred at
Missouri." When told that there
were seldom more than twenty-five or

At the
R.O.T.C. ORGANIZED
III TEMPORARY UNIT
Departmeuts of Infantry, Artil
lery and Motor Transport
Formed in Military
Department
The R. O. T. C. has undergone a
temporary organization to officers,
non-commlHsloned officers and com
panies. The selection of officers was
made for instruction and is subject to
change at any time by the heads of
the department. It is probable that
men now In the ranks may be chosen
to replace instructors who are found
incapable of holding the positions to
which they are now assigned. A
great number of ex-service men are
In the ranks and may later become
officers and non-commissioned officers.
This will be a means of acquiring the
best leadership available in the depart
ment. The .department announces that
three batteries of artillery and twelve
companies of motor transport and in
fantry combined have been formed
up to the present time. Last year's
officers are at present instructing
these organizations in military funda
mentals. The artillery unit has a compile
equipment for Instructing in this
branch of the R. O. T. C. Among the
numerous pieces of artillery are a
complete 3-ln. battery, one American,
one British and one French 75-mm.,
one 4.7 rifle, one 155 G. P. F. rifle, one
155 Howitzer, complete equipment tts
to caissons, repair and store wagons,
tractors (5-ton type), and field radio
sets.
With these facilities for instruc'ion
fand with the Instructors which have
been assigned for duty at the Univer
sity the R. O. T. C. here should be able
to compete with any like organization
in any of the schools' in the country.
The ranking officers represent both
field artilery and infantry, coming
from the best military schools in the
world and possessing a thorough
knowledge of their duties. Individual
co-operation of the men with leaders
of the organization wil mean that the
unit wil no doubt credit Itself hi me
eyes of military men throuout the
country. ...

Speaking on "Some Great Student
Issues," Mr. Cherrlngton said rhat
college life had been turned ucside
down by the war, the S. A. T. C. and
the Influenza and as a result wus
vrv unsettled. Any snirlt can be

The condition of the world is also un

AMERICAN LEGION
TABOOS POLITICS
University Post to Keep Out of
All Partisanship in
Future
Dean 0. V. P. Stout is Elected
Commander of University
Post for Two Months
Tho University American Legion In
Its opening organization meeting
Tuesday evening came out flatly
against politics or anything smack
lng of partisan lumie. Nearly two
hundred ex-service men were In at
tendanre.
The meeting was held In tho west
hall if the Armory. Membu's the
Taculty led by Dean Phllo M. Buck
urged the Denization of a -diversity
representation In the national
organization and formed a charter
organization.
Chancellor Avery, who was a major
in the United States army during
the war, spoke. Dean Duck was
chairman. War veterans among the
faculty and student members were
called on, these Including Harold Mc
Glasson, football star who won a
Croix de Guerre overseas. A. V. Ral
ston, an overseas flyer, the Univer
sity's only ace, and 'Hill" Day, form
er naval lieutenant.
The meeting was called to elect
officers. To expedite matters it was
ag decided by unanimous consent to ap
point a nominating committee who
would select the post commander,
asistant post commander, post adju
tant, treasurer and executive com
mittee. The committee reported and
the officers were named as follows:
. ,
Post Comander....Dean O. V. P. Stoui
Deputy Post Commander.
A. R. Ralston
Post Adjutant H. L. Hubbell
Treasurer Professor Breckett
Executive Committee
Dean P. M. Buck, Chairman
C. J. Frankforter, William Day.
Harold McGlason, and Oakley Cox
Rising at this moment, a student
present questioned whether it was in
the keeping of the traditions of the
Legion to permit its first offlceis to
be appointed rather than elected by
popular ballot. The speaker rs
plained that he meant nothing
against the officers already named.
A wrangling argument ensued.
Finally on motion of John Riddell.
freshman coach, who deplored with
others who had spoken extemporane
ously, any introduction of partisan
attack in the meeting, demanded that
the question be voted on pro or con.
The Legion voted for retaining the
officers already chosen.
On suggestion of the new assis'snt
commander, A. R. Ralston, who pre
sided in the absence of Dean Stout,
a motion was made and passed limit
ing the term of office of the present
officers to two months, at the end of
which time the Legion members,
knowing their comrades better, may
re-elect them or elect others as de
sired. "I'm satisfied with the way things
turned out," Dean Buck said. "The
boys have shown that they will keep
the Legion clear of politics."
The Chancellor made a spirited
speech in which he reviewed briefly
the three great wars in which Ameri
cans have participated in the last
fifty years and the soldier organiza
tions, meaning for closer eomradsMp
and better citizenship, that had grown
out of the fields of battle.
The membership campaign Is now
on.
