Court Stops City From
Banning Club Parties
Alleged threats of city officials and
the chief of police to prevent the
Kenllworth Club from holding its
regular Tuesday, Friday and Satur
day night dances in the Knights of
Columbus Hall, resulted In the grant
ing of a restraining order by District
Judge Morning late Saturday night
enjoining the city from interfering
with the meetings of the club.
The opposition of the city officials
to the dances is understood to be
based on the ordinance regulating
dance halls. It is argued that the
K. of C. Hall is not entirely fire
proof, and the ordinance demands
that public dances be held in fire
proof buildings when the hall is above
the second floor.
The Kenilwortb Club dances are
semi-public in nature because admit
tance Is by membership card only.
They get around the provision In tbe
ordinance because of this fact Hear
ing on the application for an injunc
tion has been set for October 13.

ire Department Performs For
Engineers At Smoker Saturday
The engineers held their first
moker of the year Saturday evening
X Walsh Hall, under the auspices of
he University chapter of the Ameri
can Association of Engineers. It has
been the custom of the engineers to
hold several of these get-together
eetings each year, at which the stu
nts and faculty get acquainted and
join in an informal good time, and
the smoker held Saturday proved con
clusively that the engineers of Ne
braska are royal good fellows who
can make any stag party a success.
The knight-errants of the slide rule
nd blue print, came early and in
large numbers, and in a short time
the hall was filled with tobacco
smoke, through which could be dimly
discerned a husky game of "Hot-
hand," In which quarter was neither
sked nor given, while in the equally-
beclouded side rooms, another bunch
crowded around the card tables.
Howl of Fire Truck I
In the midst of all this, the
ominous howl of a fire truck arose
frcm the street resulting In a mad
amble for the windows, There the
engineers discovered that the con
flagration was in the lower part or
the building. Cool as the proverbial
cucumber they looked on as the fire
men extinguished the blaze. The
grim-faced groups holding poker
hands, did not even bat an eye, but
conlirued their play with the silence

Many Alumni Expected to Make

Committees Announced
The second all-University party of
the year promises to be a fitting
climax to Homecoming Day, Saturday
evening, October 16, in the Armory
Although Saturday is not a closed
night and a number of fraternity and
sorority parties have been scheduled,
University authorities believe that the
out-of-town alumni who are in Lin
coin for the annual celebration will
crowd the Amory to the doors.
As In other years, the party is
being given especially for former stu
dents and members of the University
faculty. It is primarily a "Homecom
ing Party," and the Notre Dame team
will be the guest of honor. The
entertainment committee has planned
several surprising stunts for the
evening.
Refreshment Committee.

men; Robert Gary, Hubert Adkisson,

failea to finish it.
It. N. Tracy then called a meeting,
and introduced Mr. P. A. Andrews of
the Burlington railroad, who read an
inspiring paper on "Judgment" as
applied to the engineering profession,
and how to acquire it by careful
study and observation of the experi
ence of others. Next the faculty were
called to the platform, where Dean
Ferguson introduced each member.
Trofessor Smith tried to lose himself
in the crowd, but the dean's eagle
eye spotted him, and he was brought
to the platform just in time to make
the first speech. Professor Chatburn
spoke of the opportunities open to the
engineer and of the progress of the
profession during the last century.
Professor DeBaufre's subject was
"Procrastination," and he pounded
home the danger of laying down on
one's job, in a convincing manner. Pro
fessors Edison, Slaymaker and Duff
followed, the latter two with good
stories, while Professor Edison said
he could think of no stories and sat
down after saying a few words.
Mr. Tracy again took charge of the
meeting and after a short business
session, turned the mob of hungry
"math" sharks over to the refresh
ment committee, which had a very
busy time of it for the next five or
ten minutes. With the ice cream,
doughnuts and coffee gone, the card
games and yarn-telling were resumed
until the weary engineers began to
wander home to spend the rest of
the night pounding the feathers.
A mass meeting of all the engineers
win be held Friday afternoon at 5
o'clock in Room 206, M. E. Building.

Minor Officers Will Be Selected-
Presidents to Read Class
Committees.
President Alyne O'Laughlin an
nounced Monday evening that the
first Senior class meeting will be held
Thursday morning, October 14, at 11
o'clock in Social Science 101. The
members of the Junior class will
meet at the same time in the Social
Science Auditorium, according to re
ports given out by Isabell Pearsall,
president of the third-year students.
The meetings of the two upper-
classes at the University are of more
Import than those of the two lower
classes because of the growing Im
portance of the duties of the Juniors
and Seniors to the school.
Minor class officers will be chosen
by both classes at this time. Presi
dent O'Laughlin will read the new
Senior committees at the meeting.
President Pearsall announces that the
oommittees for the third-year class
will not be ready 'for about two
weeks.
Both class presidents urge that
every member of the classes be pres
ent In other years Senior and Junior
class "get-togethers" have been
smaller than they should have been.
"Growing importance of class activi
ties and duties to school in the Junior
and Senior years should Inspire the
members of these classes at least to
attend the meetings of their classes,"
said President O'Laughlin yesterday.
SECOND-YEAR STODENTS
COME TOGETHER TODAY
President Urges Co-eds to Attend
Meeting and Back Olympics
Fighters.
The first Sophomore class meeting
of the year is promised for this morn
ing at 11:30 o'clock in Law 202. It
is predicted from reliable sources
that this room will be too small to
accommodate the entire body of
second-year organizers, and in such
case, other provisions will be made.
Class committee appointments will be
announced by President Philbrick at
this meeting and the minor officers
of the class will be chosen by ballot.
Preparations for the coming battle
Saturday morning will be decided
upon, and it is rumored that strategic
plans only to be known to Sopho
mores will be divulged at this time.
"If the second-year co-eds can keep
the secret they will be let in on them,
too," was the statement of an Olym
pics committeeman yesterday.
Class to Be Organized.
Sophomore pep and spirit wSl be
rated at the meeting this morning.
The Olympics stock will either go up
or down, according to those who have
charge of the organization of the
class. .
"It is not only necessary that the
co-eds attend the meeting today, but
that they get behind the men and
"root for them when they battle the
Freshmen 'down on the fiats Saturday
morning," said President Philbrick
Monday.

SECRET PRACTICE
until sum
Schlssler Says Notre Dame Has
Strongest Team in History of
Indiana Institution.
Many "Stars" Will Play
Cornhusker Warriors in Excellent
Trim After Colorado Victory
of Last Week.
This week will see Nebraska's
Cornhuskers undergo the hardest kind
of training. Secret practice is to be
held every night this week in prepara
tion for the strong Notre Dame team
next Saturday. Coach Schuite ex
pects to have his prcteges ready with
many new plays and In the best
possible condition for the game.
The game next Saturday promises
to be the hardest fought battle that
will be Btaged on Nebraska field this
season. Assistant Coach Schlssler
who scouted the game between Kala
mazoo Normal and Notre Dame re
ports that the Catholics have the
strongest team that ever represented
that school. Notre Dame defeated
Kalamazoo Saturday, 44 to 0. A large
number of substitutes were used by
Notre Dame throughout the game.
Notre Dame is reported as having a
tower of strength in the line. One
proof for this is that Kalamazoo was
unable to make one first down against
the Catholics. Notre Dame resorted
to straight football against the Nor
mal team and was not forced to open
up in the least Some statistics la
regard to the strength of Notre Dame
may be derived from the fact that
Kalamazoo beat the Michigan Aggies,
28 to 3, and Notre Dame beat Kala
mazoo, 44 to 0.
Notre Dame has three complete
backfleld8 to use with very little dif
ference between them. Bergman, the
star of former Notre Dame teams is
missed very little this year. Ne
braska's followers of the game will
remember Coughlln who played with
the Camp Dodge team which defeated
Nebraska, 20 to 0. Coughlin is play
ing this year with Notre Dame and
makes up part of tbe third backfield.
Coach Schuite reports that the team
came through the game Saturday hi
fine shape. He had hoped for a
larger score so that more men could
have been used against the Aggies.
Dana, who had a little trouble with
his leg Is reported as coming along
fine and Hartley has a cold but other
wise the team Is in first class condi
tion. Coach Schuite is of the opinion
that Notre Dame has one of the best
teems in the country and that they
are going to be a hard aggregation
to beat but the men are going to fight
rntll the last whistle blows.
NOTRE DAME, Ind., Oct 11. With
the onward rush of the Notre Dame
football athletes daily, as the drive
expands, the outlook for another un
defeated eleven brightens. Even the
sour old pessimists who consigned
Coach Rockne's crew to the base
ment of the western gonfalon apart
ments two weeks ago are beginning
to brighten up like a sky spanned
with vivid rainbows. Notre Dame Is
on the march.
"Bepepped" by their slashing vic
tory over Kalamazoo College and
Western Normal in the opening games
of the season, Rockne's men will
tackle Nebraska next Satuiday in one
of the biggest games to be played in
the west this autumn. Both elevens
rank with the best in the country.
The Cornhuskers will be a snarl
ing lot when they glare across the
line at the western champions Satur
day. Coach Schulte's tribe is smart
ing under the sting of last year's de
feat and is determined to even up the
count in the coming meeting. That
Nebraska holds the respect of every
man on the Notre Dame team, from
Capt. Coughlln down to the lowliest
substitute, admits of no denial. Next
