braska won from Washburn seemingly
rftiput much difficulty, by no means
did they exhibit a brilliant brand of
football. The Ichabod's light line and
heir Inability to realize on their
opportunities to score were responsi
ble for the downfall of the Kansans.
The Colorado Aggies are coming to
Lincoln with a real football team.
Nebraska will meet an eleven that
been training since early in
August and It Is reported that the
Westerners are hungry for a taste of
Cornhusker blood. .The Colorado
school always stands high in the
Rocky Mountain conference ratings

apable eleven this year. They jour
neyed to Laramie last Saturday and
iefeated the University of Wyoming

ot the year. The result of this game
io not at all augur success for the
Hosker aggregation in the approach
ing battle. Wyoming Is always rep
resented by a strong eleven and the
:$;0 team is no exception.
The Washburn game afforded Coach
Schulte excellent opportunity to size
jp the material in his squad as he
made use of the greater part of his
ren. The performance of Moore in
he backfleid was extremely gratify
n and it Is quite ikely that the
ormer Lincoln High player will be a
iwmanent fixture behind the line.
ttoeppel, Rogers, Thompson and
Hoy also showed good form as back
ed men and will doubtless be used
iroughout the season. Rogers, di-
iau'ive halfback, Is exceptionally
srilliant in interference and defensive
;lay. The development of this ne.7
atrial will prove of great value to
fie Varsity in the coming games.

OLYMPICS SCHEDULED
FOR HOMECOMING DAY
Annual "Scrap" Between Freshmen
and Sophomore Classes to Be
Held on October 16.
ONLY TEN DAYS TO PREPARE
The annual "scrap" between the
class of 1923 and the class of 1924
will be staged October 16. This
"scrap" is better known as the Olym
pics and is one or Nebraska's oldest
traditions. The class elections are
being held to day and as soon as a
president is elected he will announce
his committees ror the Olympics. On
account of the large number of Fresh
men enrolled last year they had very
little difficulty in defeating the Sopho
mores. There are not as many Fresh
men in school this year and most of
the second year men have returned to
school.
Freshmen will also be allowed to
discard the "emerald" headgear if
they are ruccessful in winning the
fVynipies. Tf they are defeated it will
be necessary for them to wear the
green raps r.ntil the end of the first
semester. All men who are interested
in boxing, wrestling or running will
he urged to start training at once.
If any of the Freshmen are in doubt
about any matter concerning the
Olympics they should go at once to
some member of the Innocents So
ciety where they may obtain the in
formation they desire.
So far there has been very little
talk on the campus regarding the
Olympics. Since this is a great event
for all Nebraskans it is time the
rreshmen were starting to show some
life, according to those who have the
clash in charge.
Opening of Kenilworth Club.
The Kenilworth Club has invited
University students and their friends
to attend the formal opening at the
Knights of Columbus Hall this evening.

OS. TIMOTHY STONE TO
SPEAR AT
Noted Pastor and Lecturer Will
Address Committee of 200.
John Timothy Stone, who will be
the principal speaker at the Commit
tee of Two Hundred banquet in ihe
Scottish Rite Temple, October 12, is
a prominent figure in student circles.
He has been a frequent pastor in uni
versities and Eastern colleges and
students all over the country count
him as one of the most interesting
talkers at summer student confer
ences. Dr. Stone is a member of Delta
Kappa Epsilon. He was graduated
from Amherst College. When in col
lege he was a classmate of Dr. H. H.
Waits, bacteriologist at Ihe Univer
sity. Dr. Stone is pastor of the
Fourth Congregational church in Chi
cago. Five years ago through his
leadership, one of the most beautiful
Gothic churches in America was com
pleted on Michigan avenue at a cost
of $800,000. Dr. Stone is very popu
lar with the men of Chicaa accord
ing to those who know him intimately.
Sympathetic and Human Messages.
His messages to college students
are characteristically human and
sympathetic. Dr. Stone's methods of
work are systematic. This is Dr.
Stone's first visit to the University
of Nebraska and authorities consider
it a great privilege to be able to
present him to University audiences.
Dr. Stone exerted a very great in
fluence in the life of one of the most
famous Nebraska graduates, Dr. Paul
Harrison. Dr. Harrison attended
John Hopkins University when Dr.
Stone was pastor of the Brown
Memorial church in Baltimore. It
was due to Dr. Stone that Dr.
Harrison went to Arabia to practice
medicine among the Mohammedans
of the southern part of that country.
In general the theme of Dr. Stone's
address will probably be "The Value
of the Religious Element in all Education."

Indiana Statesman Speaks at Mon
day Morning Convocation.
PRESIDENTS TO BE SELECTED
FOR FIRST SEMESTER.
Senator Albert J. Beveridge of In
diana addressed a large audience on
the principles of public speaking Mon
day morning at convocation in the
Temple Theater. Classes were dis
missed at that time.
He said that the four fundamental
principles of public speaking are, "Be
informed," "Be simple," "Be fair,"
"Be sincere." He criticized the sensa
tional tendency of public speaking at
the present time. He laid the re
sponsibility partly Upon the public
press. A speaker, he declared, has
to Say something radical if his speech
Is to appear on the front page of a
newspaper. He urged people who
speak in public to keep service before
them as a goal instead of working for
applause and newspaper publicity.
Senator Beveridge compared mod
ern speeches made by men of the
highest intellectual type with those
made by Christ and St. Paul and
Abraham Lincoln's two greatest, his
first inaugural and the Gettysburg
address. He said that they are far
inferior in the 'ideas presented, that
"punch" seems to be the predominant
principle in their construction. "The
only 'punch that carries death with
it," said Senator Beveridge. "is the
punch of moderation."
There was a roar of applause at
the conclusion of the speech. Most
of the audience expected to hear a
political speech, but they did not evi
dence disappointment in the substi
tute. The gallery of the theater had
to be opened to accommodate the
crowd.
WORK TO COMMENCE
SCOTTSBLUFF BUILDING
Work on the new Seottsbluff Irri
gation School will soon be under way.
Thomas H. McCarthy, superintendent
of the school, has recently arrived at
Seottsbluff and will begin the work
of the school at once.
The University has been commis
sioned by the state legislature to con
struct the new Irrigation school.
Ninety acres on the outskirts of
Seottsbluff has been purchased and a
small school building is in the process
of erection.
The work to be taken up will be in
the field of construction, operation
and maintenance of structures requir
ing Irrigation work. It will be directed
more toward engineering features
than to agricultural features and the
matter of crop producUon will be an
Incidental matter.
It Is the plan of the College of En
gineering to have the school in run
ning order in the near future. Super
intendent McCarthy is an experienced
Irrigation engineer coming directly
from work in California. He will
have entire supervision of the school
and will be located in the College of
Engineering rather than la Agricul
tural College because of the nature
of thevWort.
