ii the tno-Hi'? the Olympic, the
annual freshmen-sophomore flghl
takes place at the M street ball park.
Preparations by the classes have been
ivoFt thorough and both committee
chairmen are anticipating a deceive,
clean-cut victory. The biggest fresh

and the return to the sophomore ciass
of many war veterans has made avail
able exceptionally good material, and
keen rivalry is predicted In eery
event in tbe boxing and wrestling is
well as in the other events. The his
torlc poleniah will probably be the
most amusing feature of the day. The
Olympics la one of Nebraska's oldest
traditions and alumni are always
stired by recollections of their early
days In the university, when they
see the first and second year men dec
orated In the fiercest war arrays and
lined up for battle" with the class riv
als. With confidence and pep again re
stored after the smashing defeat of
Missouri's Tigers, all are looking with
expectation toward the annual home
coming football game with Kansas
Jayhawkers. Pep will be in predom
inance, for the fate of Nebraska's
successful football season hinges upon
the outcome of this game. Old grads
will attempt to prove that they haven't
rorgotten their lung-power capacity so
that students will be forced to exert
themselves to the utmost. Something
new will be presented to them when
I he new chant is sung.

Five Portland (Ore.) minister? ion

they answered anonymous telephone
calls requesting them to go to a re
mote suburban address to perform
wedding ceremony. Three Congres;
tional ministers, one Presbyterian
minister and a Methodist prea.er
were gathered on the front porch of

and then wended their divergent
'paths homeward.

PEACE CONFERENCE
AT CONVOCATION
Dr. F. M. Fling delivered an ad
dress on "The Peace Conference' at
convocation in Memoral hall yodei
day morning. His speech in briel
follows :
"We ure celebrating today the in
nivdsary of the suspension of arms
One year has passed since the flgnt-
ing ceased. The congress at Paris has
done its work and the senate of the
United States has under consideration
Article 10 of the covenant. Thts is
the most vital part. The most vital
question of all history is before the
people of the United States. The fate
of the world has rested with the
United States for the second tnne
within a few months. It was our ye
clsion in 1917 that led to the defeat of
Germany. Today it looks as if we
were about to fall back to Jhe condi
tions of 1914. We assume that the
war is won and all is accomplished,
but it is only won to give way to pres
ent opposition. The center of the
crisis is in the United States and in
Article 10.
'"We should ask ourselves the ques
tion of the significance of the world
war. It was a struggle between two
conceptions of world organization. A
world society has qome into existeiiwe,
It was a question of whether fony
four odd states should form an empire
or a democracy. It was because Ger
many took the first solution of the
problem that we had a world war. The
destruction of our vessels on the nigh
seas was only a symptom of the tiling.
In January, 1917, Wilson spoke to the
senate of a concert of powers to pre
vent any such overflowing disaster
overtaking us again. There was ob
jection in this country towards en
forcing peace. After the war was on
Wilson began to speak definitely on
the league of nations. The common
people of Europe are back ol (he
league of nations.
Wilson said this was not to be an
or ordinary peace, but a new era had
begun in the history of tne w:td
He said he must go to Paris to rep
resent this idea, to see the thing our
men died for put through. There n--been
growing opposition in the U. S
senate. It was the most natural thing

UNIVERSITY LEGION
WILL MEET TONIGHT
War Veterans Will Elect Per
man en t Officers for Uni
versity Post
A call has been sounded for every
ex-soldier, whether or not he has al
ready become a member of the Univer
sity Post or the American Legion, to
attend ay meeting or this organization
which has been scheduled for Wed
nesday evening. November 12th. at
7:30 In the Temple theatre.
This meeting has been called ror
the purpose of perfecting a permit
nenet organization or the Post ac the
University or Nebraska, and to elect
permanent officers to replace tuose
temporarily elected at the first meet
some time ago.
It Is not yet too late for former serv
ice men to Join the Legion, but no
more charter memberships were given
out after 11 o'clock Tuesday morn
ing. At the first meeting of the Nebiasa
University Post which was held la the
:rmory October 7th, the question of
politics and anything of partisan is
sue was flatly barred from discussion
at any of the meetings of the Legion.
D'un O. V. P. Stout has been .m
porarlly post commander since the
election held in early October. A.
It. Ralston has been acting as deputy
pc.it commander, II. L. Hubbell as
post adjutant. Professor Brackett as
treasurer, and the executive com
mittee has been composed of Dean
P. M. Buck, chairman; C. J. Frank
forter, William Day, Harold McG'as
son, and Oakley Cox. The terms of
the temporary officers were limited
to two months.
John L. Rlddell and John O'Brien
represented the University Post of the
Legion at the state convention which
was held in Omaha, October 11th. This
convention preceded the national con
vention which was held last evening
at Minneapolis.
The American Legion's membership
at the university has increased dj
leaps and bounds and each day many
ex-sold iers are availing themselves of
the opportunity to join.
STOCKMEN MEETING AT
UNIVERSITY FARM
The high price of labor is now one
of the most discouraging features of
the feeding business, according to sen
timent expressed at a meeting of
stock feeders at the university farm
on Tuesday. This is especially true
where silage is depended on as ou- ui
the main feeds. Many silos are empty
in the state on .account of farmers
feeling they can't pay the big prices
asked by labor or because they are
not able to obtain help at any puce.
Labor-saving machinery is being rap
idly developed for silo filling, it was
brought out at the meeting, but as yet
this is so high priced that it means a
material addition to the cost of fat
tening stock.
About 150 attended the morning ses
sion of the feeders. Most of the time
was taken up discussing the to.
feeding. It was brought out that at
lali'a is selling all the way from $15 a
ton in the stack in the western part
of the state to $25 or more in b-e
other parts. Some of the feeders be
lieve it will sell for $30 or more before
the winter is over. The eastern part
of the state is now rapidly nearing
the end of its hay supply, while there
is still much on hand in the western
part. Feeders also differed consider
able over the price of corn. Western
part of the state 'men thought $1 a
bushel is a representative feeding
price, while eastern men thought
$1.40 would be nearer the correct
figure.
There are still many feeders In the
state that are not convinced as to the
value of silage for fattening cattle,
and Professor Gramlich admitted that
the experiment station had not been
able to consistently find it of as much
alue as some claim for it. Several
feeders fold of putting dry corn tod-
der in silos with considerable success
A Dawson county man said he red $30
alfalfa hay last year. He has no silo
and is not convinced that they are all
that is claimed for them.
The afternoon was scheduled to be
spent In Inspecting experimental lots
of stock at the agricultural experi
ment station. Fifty head of western
sters have just been purchased for
exoerimentaUl feeding in n ffo.t o
test the value of certain feeds
The feeders will see these steers Be
fore they go on feed, and next spring
again after they -are finished and at
the Utter date see what the substi
tute feeds did In the way of making e
profit j
DR. FLING WILL
ADRESS MEN AT
FIRST "Y" FORUM
Dr. Fred Morrow Fling will ad
dress the first meeting of the "Y"
Forum Thursday at 5 o'clock. The
"Y" Forum Is the name for the new
meetings to be conducted weekiy un
der the auspices of the university Y.
M. C. A. These meetings will be
held each Thursday evening at the
same hour In faculty hull, Tempre.
A speaker will be secured to address
the men on problems of the day and
their relation to the campus. The
latter part of the meeting will be
devoted to open discussions, debates
and questioning.
Establishing these meetings hi nu
outgrowth of the J. Stilt Wilson mcv
lugs held several weeks ago at which
the suggestion was made that unlver
sity men should get together to i..s
cuss matters of vital interest to col
lege men.
PEP RALLY THURSDAY
TO PRIME TEAM FOR
SATURDAY'S BATTLE
A "life ami pep" rally to give me
team a mighty boost for the struggle
with the Jawhaks Saturday wd'. be
held at the 11 o'ciock convocation
hour Thursday morning. Everything
in the way of "pep," steam, ganger,
push, and lif that can be uncovt.ed,
will be needed to send the team into
the battle with a vim necessary to
vanquish those from our southerly
neighbor-state.
Convocation rallies, whenever put
into practice, have been immensely
ly popular with the students at Ne
Liaska, and have always been mon
ster affairs in regard to attendance
The university band will be on hand
to lead the beginning strain "U-Ran,
N-Rah, U-N-I" of the new chant. Mem
bers of the team, Captain Dobson,
Coach Schulte, Professor Cochmn, u
J. Fee, and Professor Scott will givt
informal talks to the assembled Corn
huskers.
Those In charge say luat every
true Nebraskan, and every loyal sup
porter of the Cornhusker team must
be present Thursday morning, to in
ject more "pep" into the rooters and
team than was noticeably exhibited
at the Ames game. The game with
the Jayhawks has always been a mo
mentous struggle of rival teams and
the one this year promises to be nt.
exception to the rule. The fate of
the Jayhawk is the thing that will
bring all Cornhuskers, both students
and faculty, together for the rally
Thursday morning. The cheerleaders
will be much In evidence tomorrow 10
direct the yell-making during the ses
sion.
Kansas will be here on a special
train from Lawrence. The sound of
"Rock chalk, Jayhawk, Q U" will
compete hard with the new chant of
Nebraska as the cars containing the
Kansas rooters steam into the sta
tion Friday. The slogan is "Every
body at the rally."
Lost Vespers, Nov. 11. They wwre
first missed when a grou pof girls
approached -Art Hall about 5 o'clock
and found the doors locked.
Found Vespers, looser pleas call
for them at Art Hall, 5 o'clock next
Thursday.
A group of girls went to Art Hall
yesterday afternoon to attend vespers,
but the vespers were not there.
Then the search began. The Jani
tor was asked if he had seen such an
article on the premises. He replied
in the negative. Someone suggested
looking in Faculty Hall. The girls
t-tarted in that direction, but saw that
the room was not lighted. The Y. W.
C. A. room was suggested, but it, too,
was closed.
All but one of the girls gave up the
search. She continued the detective
pursuit until she got in communica
tion with the conspirators. She was
told that the vespers planned for
Toesday would be delivered without
ransom or reward at Art Hall five
o'clock next Thursday, if that slhed
ule is approved by the authorities in
the office. Miss Pauline Groves will
speak at that time.
Vespers were postponed because
Tuesday was a school holiday.
DES MOINES SCHOOLS CLOSE
Des Moines schools were closed on
Tuesday and will remain so until the
end of the coal strike. Lack of fuel
was tbe reason. Several building
and business places will bare to close

ner at the Scottish Rite Temple, danc
ing and attending the movies was the
way Lincoln war veterans celebrated

but school was dismissed for all In
the afternoon. The day was obseived
In convocation by an address by Dr.
Fred Morow Fling on the League of
Nations.
The sudden cld wave that swept
the city did not stop the merrymak
ers. When the dinner bell was sound
ed for the banquet at the Scottish
Rite Temple a line of ex-soldlers were
waiting to get in hat reached for
more than a block down the streer.
Every theater in the city was filled
to capacity, and many hung out their
sign, "Sold out." Crowds continued
to com eand go to the auditorium,
where the r.uiicing was going on, until
a late hour.

LIVED ON 75 CENTS A DAY
Although Mrs. Charlotte Y. AcKer
n.an, a widow, of New York, left an
estate valued at upward of $250,000 -t
the time of her death in February,
1917, during the latter years of her
life she adhered rigidly to a sell im
posed rule that her evpenses for food
should be kept within a minimum of
75 cents a day.
Mrs. Ackerman died at the age
years. For many years previous
she had lived alone as far as l !.;-
fives were concerned. She had two
servants who procured their meals
and sleeping accommodations outside
her house. Her only charge accounts
were for bread, ice and gas, according
lo the referee's report.
CHAIN RUSH TO BE
SUBSTITUTED FOR
PUSHBALL CONTEST
The pushball contest has been elim
inated from the Olympic contest this
year and a chin rush will be substi
tuted. The pushball contest has al
ways been a feature of the annual
inter-class scrap but as Ames, from
whom the ball has always been lented,
has rented It to another school, none
ran be obtained.
The chain rush which will take the
place of the push ball contest, nas
been used for several years in the
East but will be used Saturday for the
firat time in Nebraska. The chain
rush is made up of fifty men from each
class. They hold on to an iron bar,
four feet long, and at the end of ten
ni mutes, the side which has the mo
hands on the bar, is the winning Mde.

Record Against Oklahoma Last
Saturday Raises High
Kansas Hopes
Trainload of Student Will Ac
company Team to Lincoln to
Cheer It on In Home
coming Game
The Kansas Jayhawkkers are teem
ing! y proud of the record they made
against Oklahoma lam Saturday, and
believe that their tie ncore with the
Sooner nieanH a victory over NeLiui
ka. None of the Jayhawkers were in
jured and Cnarh McCartye nir., will
be in perfect physical conditlcn to
combat the Cornhuskers. There will
he plenty of Kansas fans on hand
to cheer the Sunflower to do theii
mightiest, according to the following
dispatch received troni Lawrence.
Lawrence. Knns.. Nov. 11. te
first practice after the scoreless tie
with Ilcnnie Owens' Sooners last Sat
unlay was Just a workout for the Jay
hawkers. Coach McCarty is not go
ing to overwork his men this week i
preparation for one of the biggest
games of the K. U. schedule, but he
will devote some little time to per
feeling an offense.
The Kansas defense proved itself
Impenetrable in the game Saturday.
Even with Netels, all-Valley tacklke,
absent, and Wood, star quarter, on
the sidelines, the backkfield and line
worked so well on the defense that
not a single Oklahoma runner was
able to ge away for any large single
gains. t
Capain Laslett, who featured the
game at left end, has been character
ized by sport critics as the best .
ler in the midwest, is running his
team through some brand new plays
this week that will probably be
sprung against the Huskers.
Two or three hundred Kansas rajs
have chartered a special train to lake
the trip to Lincoln next Friday night,
along with the team and the band.
All Kansas hopes are sanguine to
a very large degree. "We are not
worrying about how Kansas is going
to score, the question is How is Ne
braska going to score?" is a common
remark on the campus.
All the men who were out ot me
Sooner game on account of injuries
are back now, and Coach McCarty
will probably start the entire regular
lineup against the Cornhuskers next
Saturday. No Kansas men were in
jured in the struggle Saturday, which
is taken as n indication of the per
fect condition of the Kansas eleven.
"If the Sooners. twenty pounds heav
ier per man. can't hurt them, the
Huskers won't have much chanv ol
laying any ol" them out' is the consen
sus of opinion on Mount Oread.
Tear Up Freshmen
The Huskers held the first scrim
mage of the week last night and tore
up the Freshman outfit In shor' or
der. Newman was at the hei u.l
will no doubt start in his position
against Kansas. Wright, Henry and
Jobes constituted the rest of the back
field and the trio of speedsters gained
at will on the Freshmen. Jungmeyer
was used at center and played the pi
vot position like an old-timer. Just
who will start the fray with the Jay
hawkers is a matter of conjectan .
In view ol the fact that the Corn
huskers and Jayhawkers both played
tie games with Denny Owen's Okla
homa proteges, two pretty evemy
matched elevens will fight for victory
on the Nebraska field next Saturday.
Both the Kansans and tbe Nebras
kans believe that they outpiayee t?ie
Sooners and consequently both are
confident of victory. The two 8cnuu.
have long been gridiron enemies, ana
the fact that Nebraska is now out of
the Missouri Valley Conference ana
lelations between the two schools
have severed, will make this year's
contest a fight to the last ditch.
