FRESHMEN PLAY
AGAIIISf YORK
w vor Men Battle With
State Champion Here
on Saturday
The Nebtaska freshmen will tangle
with Ernie Frank's state champions
from York Saturday afternoon, wnlle
Schulte's varsity stand leisurely on
the Bldellnea and exhort the first-year
men to tear up the conference cuam
but since Wesleyan piled up 82 points
,n the Normalites last week, Frank
;no doubt figured that a game with the
plons. Kearney Normal was scneu
uled to meet the Yorkers Saturday,
Freshmen would be much more w-rrn
able. '
York Is far and away the best ag
gregatlon In the state conference this
hATin defeated every eleven
j cat t
on Uielr schedule. Zimmerman and
Banek are the chief ground gainers of
Frank's team and will no doubt cauae
the yearlings no smau amount of anx
lety on Saturday. The Freshmen
rntner a 16-0 defeat some
time ago, but York defeated the Bull
doffs by a count of 48 points.
The dope, therefore, favors the
York eleven, but this Is an off year
for the dopesters and the freshmen
may spring a surprise and win trom
Frank's outfit. Rldffell has without
doubt a strong aggregation. Martin,
Perry. 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. Socially,

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.

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.

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. - ,

tween the hours of nine ond five, riom
seven to ten o'clock on Mondy, Wed

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.

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.
