Hartley, Doty and Strain are five backfield artists of rare gridiron ability and Cornhusker fans await with Interest the Bhowlng they will make against the atrogn eleven from York. J1EV7 EDUCATION COLIUIG TO AMERICA Otto H. Hahn Tells of Need for Highly Trained Leaders in All Lines The ushering in of a new era, a new period in the advancement of educa tion, a new epoch In special traniuig is prophesied by Otto H. Kahn, well known international financier and a figure in tie art world. The evolu tion of higher education, the need of leaders in every branch of work, tue immediate need of America especial ly, is emphasized in his remarks on the subject of American schooling. He Bays, "America has been pitch forked into world affairs. The role of leadership has been thrust upon it. The old landmarks are passing. A jungle of new conditions is atiead. Look to the colleges." ( An inconceivably extensive revolu tion of affairs Las indeed gripped the entire world during the past semJ-dec-ade. Science, commerce, industry, art, diplomacy, literature, in fact ev ery walk of life has been utterly re novated and completely revolution ized Trained men are needed more now than ever before. To hold the position she has gained, to make se cure the prestige she has attained in world affairs, America must have educated men at the helm of her in dustries, she must have learned lead ers in every branch of work, not. vu.y in these branches in which she excells but in the branches in which she strives to attain the foremost posi tions. Mr. Kahn speaks on education from the moral and mental stand points. Two Requisites "Character and brains are tne two requisites for a successful future in finance. The character-forming influ ence of a university is of the utmost value in this time of testing, searching and changing. Brain . powei J o or was at a greater premium. The de mand for men of ability, reliability, specialized or general knowleage, trained to steadiness and thorougu ness of method, is and for years to come will be limitless." The necessity of specialization is stressed no more than it merits. Spe cialists are the demand of the day. Surgeons, engineers, bankers, archi tects, each and every calling has its demand for special training in meth ods applicable to one and only one phase in the complex method of se curing results. The co-operative ac tion of trained men brings results which no group of generally educated men can accomplish. Knowledge of one thing and a thorough, practical knowledge is the thing that counts in this age of specialization. Mr. Kahn says: "The mass aver age oi f America is very high, "but out standing figures, qualified leaders, are conspicuously few. They are more needed than ever before.

STOCK JUDGING TEAM LEAVES SATURDAY FDR INTERNATIONAL SHOW The stock Judging team leaves on Thursday for Chicago to compe't the contest held at tne Chicago in ternational livestock show. Nebraska has won many honors In her football ind basketball contests, but tlies-s alone do not In any manner meusuro her ability. In yea. a gone by sha has won many places of recognition na tionally in her dairy judging and in her fruit judging, but the team that does as much to put old Nebraska on the map as any team she puts out, is the fat livestock judging team. Nebraska has in many Instances won first place with strong competi tion, not only at the "International" at Chicago, but at the Kansas uuy "Royal" and the Denver shows as well. This year even more is to be expected from the team; they have been working hard, having some very fine classes of Btuff on which to work, and strong competition among the men who tried out. The team this year was picked with considerable difficulty on the part of the coaches. In order to do this a preliminary contest was held some few weeks ago and the ten highest men in the contest were selected foi special training, and from these ten men eight were selected to make the trip to the big show. The final selec tion will be made the night before the contest, five men composing the team. Practice judging will be the program for the next week, this being done at the Iowa and Illinois Agricultural colleges. The men who will make the trip this year are M. V. Kappius, I. W epperly, E. J. Yates, C. H. Powell, D. P. Moulton, L. C. Noyes, R. E. Fortna and W. E. Wledeburg. Professors H. J. Gramlich and W. Savin will accom pany the team.

ArtExhibit Shows That Are Common Artists Show Beauty in Things Most of Us Have Thought Commonplace A collection of paintings well oui the time spent in viewing them, is now on exhibition in the Art Gallery, second floor of the Library building. The pictures will be enjoyed by tuwse who like to look at pictures which are beautiful, although they may not know why the pictures are so beau tiful, or have any artistic yearnings Edward Redfield, an American artist whose home is in Pennsylvania, is the painter. Most of the pictures are snow scenes, for Redfield is an expert in snow pictures. These snow scenes present an infinite amount of varie ty, however. The landscape Itself Is varied, and the time of year differB some are in the dead of winter, others in the spring when the snow is melt lne. others show a mere trace of snow, only a reminiscence. "The Woodland Brook" is a very beautiful naintine. The Infusion ot light from above is especially note worthy.

Factories, NEBRASKA!! DEFENDS GENERAL PERSHING Founder of Nebraska Takes Issue With Critics of Commander-in-Chief Replying to a speech Congressman Thomas D. Minnesota, Horace Q. made y Schall, of Whlimore, raakeg a valiant defense of General John J. Pershing In a letter written to Emit E. Holmes of Mllaca, Minn. Mr. Whltmorc nearly 30 years ago was one of the original founders of the Daily Nebraskan, and In the iate war Berved In Battery B 151st FlcH Artillery. Mr. Wliltniore's letter reads a lows: "I read the copy you enclosed of the diatribe of Representative Thom as D. Schall entitled, "General Per shing vs. the American Soldier ' I agree with you that every soldier should give free vent to his feelings arousedby a perusal of this piece of petty, pusillanimous publicity, vainly attempted In the hope of Justifying the only vote in congress against a re cognition Justly due our former coin manderln-chlef. Amazed at Statement "I was parUi.ularl;. amazed at this: I have talked with men who had In timate chance to observe' Pershing in the Phllipines; I have talked with iff leers and men who accompanied him to Mexico; I have talked with hundreds of soldiers in the recent war and their opinion was unanimous that he has not the elements so mixed in him to stand before them a man and a soldier in whose elevation they would feel honored. The oniy men I have heard applaud him are his puppets, who owe their present position to service in his behalf.' Known General Over 30 Year "As a soldier who has known the general for nearly 30 years and as a resident of the district represented by the complaining congressman, i feel it is a duty to reply. It was my privilege to serve under General Per shing in the early 90's, when he was commandant and I a cadet at the Uni versity of Nebraska. I followed vwj closely his work In Cuba, the Phillip pines, and in Mexico. When he as appointed commander-in-chief of the American Expeditionary Forces, I rejoiced as did all who knew him and I felt, as they did, that the right man had been chosen for the most impor tant command ever given an Ameri can soldier. ' Served with SMnn "When our country became Involved in the World War, It was again . privilege to serve under him, thic; time as a member of the 151st Field Artillery, Rainbow Division. When our division was reviewed by Gener al Pershing at Remagan on the R'line, it was my pleasure to renew the ac quaintance formed 28 years beiore. He left a flock of generals to ct.nie over and talk with me. His manner was most democratic and cordial. I did not seem conscious of the pres- ( Continued to Page 4) Everyday Scenes In The Lite Of All and tenement houses lose their sordid look and become objects of interest almost of fascination. The wasnings on the lines behind the house., tne old fashioned street lights, the smoke from the factories, are all factors which add much to the success of the picture. The industrial picture is something new in art, and is n-un handled by Redfield. On the south wall is a group of spring and summer pictures. They are vibrant with lirht, in this particu lar differing from the old school, which did not paint light. By the spring pictures hangs many a beau tiful autumn scene, 'which Professor Grumann, head of the Fine ai fc e partmont, says !s as rich in color as any he has ever seen. Redfield paints rapidly. His pic ture, "Early March," property or e university, was painted in a single day. It is a snow scene, a viuage on the mountain side, by the side of a river. The homely, everyday scene takes on added significance under the artist's clever direction. As wita most artists, Redfleid takes me scenes for most of his pictures in bis Immediate neighborhood, which Is In the vicinity of Pittsburgh. - , The exhibition may be seen daily De- tween the hours of nine ond five, riom seven to ten o'clock on Mondy, Wed nesdays aul Fridays, and oo Sundays from three to -Ix. FRATERNITY EXCHANGES The exchange of r,u:it be tween fraternities will proceed as usual tonight. Fraternities are requested to observe the program which was outlined for last Tuesday evening.. The reg ular program could not be car ried out then because of the Armistice day celebration. BABY IPTERIIATIOIIAL DREW LARGE CROWD "Baby International" held at the I- j r'arm campus on the evening of Nov. 14. under the auspices of the Saddle and Sirloin club was a complete suc cess. It was attended by a large number of the town people and stud ents. With the increasing popularily of the show and the continued increase in attendance a new place of exhibi tion must be secured. The judging pavilion at th Farm in which the show was held this year Is much too small as was manifested this year in the lack of seating capacity and over flowing crowd. The object of the show is for the instruction of the col lege students In the fitting and show ing of fancy show animals. All the stock used In this contest is the property of the atate Farm, the stud ents obtaining the animal which they are to show by the lottery method. The judging is not based on the merits of the animal but on the ef fort on the part of the student in the preparation of the animal for the show and in the ability of each ex hibitor to properly show his animal to the best advantage. Much time and labor was required by each ex hibition to order that the animal be ;p the best of condition. The animals were all taken in the rough to start with and some marvelous changes were to be seen. Professor W. J. Kennedy of Sioux City, la., former instructor in the Iowa State Agricultural college, did the judging. He stated that some of the animals were better fitted and more cleverly shown that a great many animals fitted and shown at the largest live stock shows in the United States. This shows what can be done with a little instruction and training. A few of the animals shown that night will be taken to the Chi cago International, which is held the first week in December. They are ex- nected to win many Drizes. J The Winner. i The students winning prizes In the contest were as follows: Hereford cows, first, Fred Hobart, second, C. Slosson, third, C. A.

SYRACUSE COMES TO NEBRASKA AS EASTERN CHAMPION Washington and Jefferson Alone Defeated Syracuse But is Not in Race Thanksgiving Day Oaae Promises to Be Classic Between East and West Syracuse University, Nebraakai u Thanksgiving opponent, pounced upon Colgate Saturday afternoon and de feated them, 13 7. Colgate was hith erto unbeaten and Syracuse's victory places her at the top of the list in eastern gridiron clrcies. The Orange line was Invulnerable at all times and the Colgate score came aa the result of several clever forward passes which caught fhe Syracuse e.e.m napping. The Orange team has met lib strongest teams of the east and suf fered defeat at the hands of only one. Washington and Jefferson took the measure of the Ne wirorkers y a small margin, but the Orange eleven troitnced the strong Pittsburgh outfit who subsequently defeated Washing ton and Jefferson. Consequently Sy racuse has the strongest claim to the battle on Turkiy day. One hundred and eighty-five pounds eastern title of any school, and the Cornhuskers are assured of a fierce will be the average weight of the Sy racuse line and one hundred and sixty-three pounds for the backfield weight. This Syracuse eleven will be four pounds heavier per man than the eleven which whipped the Husk ers two years ago. Not that the Corn huskers were outplayed by the east erners on that occasion, for they were not. The count was 10-9, and the fail ure of Captain Ed Shaw to kick goal was all that prevented a tie score. Nebraska Has No Advantage In her other games this season Ne braska has the edge on her opponents in beef, but this will not be the case when the Huskers clash with the Or ange. Schulte cam, i oepend n u.u smashing backs to pierce the Syra cuse line as easily as they tore up the Missouri and Kansas forwards. Scouts who witnessed the Syracuse Colgate game say that only an open game, with plenty of fakes and passes, will succeed against the Orange. Nev ertheless Nebraska adherents clawn that the Syracuse line will roee up with some unlooked for surprises when they try to stop the terrific off tackle plunges of Dale and Hubka. No game is scheduled for this Sat urday, and accordingly Schulte's men are taking things easy. No scrim mage was held last night and ccvliui of the Huskers were out, clad In track suits and only a light workout was held. Schulte is taSnug no t-.nees, and wants his team io oe m i-mie condition to meet the Invading east ern hosts. The O ,-ange eleven clashes with Jumbo Stiehm's flonaiers Satur day and will no doubt register an easy victory. Paul Schissler, assistant Husker mentor, will attend the game and watch the Syracusse phenoms in action. HOWARD KENDALL TO PLAY NOTRE DAME Howard Kendall university, or Tul sa, Oklahoma, will play a post season game with Notre Dame, according to reports issued recently from Tulsa sporting circles. The Kendallites have met all comers this season and em erged victorious. Among their vic tims were the Oklahoma Soorere and the University of Arkansas. They have won all their games by large scores, have the state championship of Oklahoma cinched and are fully entitled . to meet the strong eleven from South Bend. Notre Dame authorities have de manded a $4,000 surety before '.on sentlng to the post season arrange ments and Kendall fans Intend to raise the amount at once. The Indi ana school's coaches hfve virtually consented to the game, which, if staged, will be the biggest gridiron event in Oklahoma this year.
