SYRACUSE CANCELS
GAME WITH HUSKERS
gUdents do not Favor Invasion
of West by Organi
zations. Nebraska Officials Will Make no
Effort, to Hold Easterners
to Contract.
Nebraska and Syracuse will not
din on the grWI.un In 1920. The
Inlet le officials at Nebraska were in
formed of the intentions of Syracuse
t0 caned the Cornhusker game, by a
telegram received from tJew York
yesterday. Student sentiment at Syr
acuse la strongly opposed to another
western trip by the Orange team. Vic
tories over the strongest teams in the
East gave Syracuse every right to the
championship title this year but her
prestige was given a severe blow by
lhe defeats at the hands of Indiana
'and Nebraska when the Orange Invad
ed the western territory.
Graduate Manager Smith, of Syra
cuse, and "Doc" E. J. Stewart, former
head coach at Nebraska, drew up a
contract which provided for a game
between the Iluskers Rnd Syracuse to
be plajed 1" Lincoln next year. It is
conceded by the Nebraska authoilties,
however, that contracts between ath
letic departments are not legally bind
ing and the Cornhusker authorities
will make no attempt to hold the Eas
terners to the terms of the agreement.
Negotiations have been started to pro
cure a game with some other promi
nent eastern team for Thanksgiving
day ami the complete schedule will be
announced in the near future. ,
NEBRASKA WILL NOT
PLAY NAVY IN 1920
The proposed trip of the Cornhusk
rs to Annapolis next year to mix
with the Navy team, has been given
up entirely. Admission to all games
t Annapolis Is by invitation which
eliminates the question of gate re
ceipts and the guarantee offered by
the navy authorities is not of suffi
cient substance to persuade they Ne
braska officials to consider entering
an agreement. The Annapolis school
was very anxious to obtain a game
with the Iluskers as several wires
and letters were sent to the athletic
department bidding; for a 1920 game.
The Navy schedule hna been an
nounced and includes North Carolina,
Bucknell. Princeton, Western Re
gent, Georgetown. South Carolina,
and tuo Army.

Students Going Home for
Holidays Should Buy
Tickets Early.
The railroad offices are urging
that all students who expect to
return to their homes for the
holidays call at the ticket offices
and buy their tickets a day or
two before they go, stating clear
ly the day on which they wish
to use the ticket. This done so
that the companies may be sure
to have seat service enough to
care for all who wish to use the
trains.- The shortage or train
service makes it necessary at
this time to give the companies
notice of expected travel . The
return to their homes of about
5.000 people will tend to block
the traffic beyond what the pres
ent service can accommodate
unless this notice Is given.
Professor Swezey Does Not
Believe World Will End Today
"Today the world will come to an
abrupt end." This has been written
In many of the prominent newspapers
throughout the country for many weeks
by writers of fiction and "would-be"
scientists.
These predictions will cause many
families to be together for the day,
will increase the church memberships
throughout the country, and will greatb
enhance the value of prayer. Already
some university students have been
requested to be home "Wednesday,'
sure." with the instruction that "if
we all must go, we want to go to
gether." University students are
wondering what they will be doing
at the time of the catastrophe. Some
are planning parties, some are plan
ning a "quiet study hour," and some

rfiOFESSORGRANT
UPHOLDS Y. M. C. A.
. WAR WORK IN FRANCE
Professor Blanch Grant spoke at
convocation Tuesday morning on. her
experiences In France Hr work
was with the Y service and her partic
ular duty was decorating the huts.
She traveled through the district
around Le Mans with her caminctte
and driver carrying pots of paint or
kalsomine. Usually when she had
started in some soldier would come
locking on t;nd remark that was his
work back in tUo states. She would
then ask if lie would not like to help.
Then she could go on with her cam
inette to another hut.
Professor Grant said thai much
good was reported in consequence or
this sort of decoration for the soldiers
reflected the place in which they
were. She declared that much of the
criticism directed against the work
was unjust. The Y workers had to
buy in the open market and so prices
were high. They had little or no
means for transporting supplies.
Once they were told that the army
would soon be centered in a certain
place. Accordingly they filled a great
warehouse with supplies only to have
the ai-my, men and trucks removed to
another quarter. Thus the warehouse
was stranded with all its supplies and
it was very difficult to geth the
tilings removed to places where they
could be used.
There was complaint that Y did not
supply the men with the paper. They
did so when paper was to be had.
For a time ten million francs worth of
paper was held up at Bordeaux and
during that time they had none for
the men.
The Y workers had thousands of
things to do. The Salvation Army
was asked to do just one thing and

With three different teams ready
to play, Coach Schissler and his trus
ty basket flippers await with confi
dence the clash with the invading ma
roons. Fifteen men have been issued
the new Varsity equipment which will
be used for the first time today.
These men are: Captain Schellenberg,
Bailey, Newman, Patty, Pickett,
Munn, Paynter, Smith, Russell, Jung
meyer, Collins, Howarth, Hussey, Bek
ins, and Stromer. This string of fif
teen artists may be divided into three
teams, each of which is an aggrega
tion of basket tossers of which no
school could be ashamed.
Coach Schissler intends to give ev
ery one of ihese men a chance to
play against Morningside, provided
the Methodists do not prove to be
stronger than is anticipated. Schiss
ler wants to use every man but never
theless he will take no chances on
losing the game. The Schellenberg,
Paynter, Patty, Hufsey, and Munn
combination will in all probability
start the fray this afternoon. Here
id an aggregation of competent per
formers, with plenty of speed, weight,
and aggressiveness.
If this team fails to make the de
sired impression on the Maroons, an
other quintette, consisting of Russel,
Smith, Bailey, Newman, and Bekins
will be ready to be rushed to the
scene of battle. Speed and cleverness
are the main characterostics of this
combination. Russel and Smith are
wily basket shooters of rare ability
and at the guard positions Bailey and
h -win an. completely cover their op
ponents and are very fast on the
floor.. Bekins, at center, plays the
pivot position in a very creditable
manner and registers his share of
counters.
A third team will also be at the dis
posal of Coach Schissler. Coilins,
Pickett, Stromer, Howarth and Jung
meyer, comprise this quint and it is
by no means a second rate combina
tion. Collins and Pickett have both
earned their letters in the basket
years in previous years and are clever
players. Collins is a sure shot at
the basket.
Coach Saunderson's veteran squad
of court performers arrived in Lin
coln last night and are. ready to give
battle to the Iluskers today. Ten Ma
roon players made the trip. Rora
baugh, one of the husky guards, Is a
former Norfolk, Nebraska, boy- He
played basketball with the Norfolk
high team and appeared in Lincoln
in two high schoc'. .tournaments.
Three nf the five Xowans who will
start the game are veteran artists and
the dope forecasts a snappy Dame
when the whistle blows at 4:30 this
afternoon.
