FAVORS MILITARY
TRAINING FOR ALL
COMMANDANT MOSES TELLS
BENEFITS OF DRILL.
Army Colonel Believes Training a
Great Benefit to Nation and
Citizenry.
In an interview on present condi
tions eminating from the world war,
and the transition which is following,
Colonel Moses, commandant of cadets,
told a reporter from the Daily Ne
braskan yesterday, that he favored
military training to bring about asso
ciation of the different classes of peo
ple in order to get the best results In
benefiting the nation.
In the course of the interview
Colonel Moses said:
"We are passing through the transi
tion period which usually follows a
big war. A few are enthusiastic
about avoiding the mistakes which
were responsible for our being drawn
into the last war and, by proper
pieparation and training, retain the
prestige which we have won at so
great a price. The vast ijority are,
as heretofore, searching for some
means of bringing about the millen
nium while a much weaker class do
not care what becomes of the nation.
This latter class is governed by im
pulses which is the result of 'either
heredity or environment, or both, and
their mental processes are such that
a normal man is incapable of analyz
ing them.
"The first class mentioned is filled
by red blooded Americans of the
Washington, Jackson, Roosevelt type
and I love them...'
"The second class I sympathize
with and. fully understand but I would
like to be able to convince them that
in this age of "Safety First" they
should join the first group until their
schemes have passed beyond theory,
and they have proven their practical
value by building up a world-wide
feeling of brotherhood among peoples,
and of confidence and good will among
nations.
"The only hope of eliminating the
ihird c'ass is by change of environ
ment of the individuals composing It.
This may be brought about by com
pelling them to associate intimately
with members ol the other groups.
There is no better place to accomplish
this than on the drill field, there is
no better time to do it than during
the years when youth is passing into
manhood."

Perhaps you were "held up" yester
day on the campus by a young lady
with a charm akin to thit of Elsie
Ferguson, combined with the coquetry
or Constance Talmadge. These co-eds
this week, are known as "solicitors"
and they extract rrom the pockets of
Freshmen, nearly all Sophomores,
some Juniors, and a few Seniors,
checks, dollar bills and even I. O. U.'s.

SIXTY SCRAP !
FOR VARSITY
LARGE FIELD OF CANDIDATES
OUT FOR FOOTBALL.
SCHULTE PICKS LINEUP
GOSSIP STARTS REGARDING THE
MAKEUP OF FIRST SQUAD.
Regulation Football Equipment Will
Be Donned By Husker Warriors'
When Heat Wave Has Subsided.
Between fifty and sixty men are
now reporting regularly for Varsity
practice and the work is progressing
with encouraging rapidity. Covering
punts and tackling practice occupied
the greater part of the Coach's time
yesterday afternoon. Moore, Dale,1
Swanson and Howarth were used in
the kicking department and their,
work prophesies that Nebraska will
not be as weak in this end of the
game Bo was formerly thought. The
loss or Paul Dobson and Bob Russell,
.star punters on the 1919 eleven, gav
the coaches grave worry at the be
ginning or the season but late de
velopments indicate that Nebraska's
punting game will be as strong as it
ever was.
Eleven Lines Up on Field.
For the first time this season Coach
Schulte lined up an eleven on the
field yesterday afternoon. No signal
practice was given, however, and only
one formation was used. The first
lineup called out by Schulte contained
many of the veterans of last year and
sent a thrill of recognition and appre
ciation through the stands, where a
large number or students and rans
had assembled to watch the practice.
The lineup was as rollows:
Ends Swanson and Dana.
Tackles Pucelik and Monte Munn.
Guards Wade Munn anJ Young. ;
Center Day.
Quarterback Newman.
Halfbacks Hubka and Wright
. Fullback Dale. w
Two other lineups were a!o formed
by the Coach but or.ly the one forma
tion wac used.
Sch'ssler again put the Freshman
squad through a stiff workout on the
State Farm field. Schissler is now
giving his men signal practice and .
expects to start scrimmage work to
morrow or Friday. He has a squad
even larger than the Varsity outfit
and intends to keep this number of
men out as long as possible. The
Freshmen will tangle with the Var
sity in the first scrimmage of the
year Saturday arternoon.
Regulation football equipment will
be donned by the 1920 Cornhusker
gridiron warriors today or tomorrow,
according to information from Coach
Schulte. The opressive heat which
has existed the past week has made
it advisable for the Coach to require
only track uniforms. The proximity
of the opening game and the short
ness or time have caused this move,
although the weather has descended
but very slightly in temperature. ,
