Farm Aggies Get Stiff Workout The State Farm Aggies encountered some stiff practice last Wednesday when Coach Proctor lined them up against the second team. The first team pushed the substitutes down the field for several touchdowns and held them for downs when put on the de fensive. The Aggies anticipate a dif ficult game next Friday when they meet Universtiy Place at University Place. The Methodists have a strong aggregation this year. They succeed ed in winning over Lincoln High by a score of 15-16 the very first game or the season. The Aggies have a heavy line but whether or not they will be able to stop the fleet-footed University Place backfield is problematical. Their main difficulty Is that only three men of last year's team are in the lineup and the rest are inexperienced some of them playing their very first game of football next Friday. Coach Proc tor announced Wednesday that no definite team has been picked. R. O. T. C. Says "More Music With Our Drill" Members of the University R. O. C. unit made an interesting ap pearance Tuesday afternoon on the new drill field when they did squa Is right" and "to the rear march" with the aid of the Cadet band. The embryo soldiers looked as though they were taking part in a miniature review. Although the surface of the drill field was not quite smooth and the soldiers had to kick a "clod" of dirt out of the way here, and a stone, there, the music kept their spirits high. "The drill hour went three times as fast with music," were the enthusiastic words of a Sophomore yesterday. "Music with our drills is what we want now" he continued. "Tues day's treat spoiled us, and I'm afraid our feet will refuse to move now without the familiar strains of "Na tional Emblem" to urge us on. It seems more military with the music and there are not many men at Ne braska who can listen to an American i arch without at least marking time. What we want now Is 'more music with our drills.'" Every Awgwan Cartoon Has "A Meaning All Its Own" No longer should Freshmen weep bitter tears because of homesickness or of the incomprehensible amoeba and protoplasms. Upperclassmen should discard their worried frowns and forget psychology, for the Oc tober Awgwans are out! Nebraska's peppy comic magazine is a sure cure for any kind, of blues. What a wealth of fun and humor lies ' between its yellow and blue covers only the regular subscriber can know. Every line, every cartoon, "has a meaning all its own," and even FRESHMAN PARTY HALLOWE'EN AFFAIR General Chairman Babcock Out lines Plans for Entertainment in Armory Saturday, October 30.

Farmers Warned of Price Drop. WASHINGTON, Oct 20. Secretary of Treasury Houston asked the bank ers to help the fanners all they could Its gay-colored covers calls forth an inevitable smile. One looks with In terest at the broad grin of a student with a huge pile of books under his arm and a new Awgwan on top. He is thinking perhaps, of the new "You tell 'em" he has just read, or he recognized a joke on one of his friends. If there is someone who thinks that he has had more than his share of blues today, let him forget his studies, buy a chocolate soda and drown his sorrows in the Awgwan. DICK RUTHERFORD Former Husker Star Training Agri culture College Team Scouts Whitman-Washington Game. University graduates have a habit of breaking into print all over the country, especially the Cornhuskers who were famous in athletic circles in the University. Dick Rutherford, former Husker all around athlete is new in the limelight as the coach of the Oregon Agricultural College. Rutherford was a former football star at the University of Nebraska in '13, '14 and '15. He was on the famous team that walloped Minnesota, 7 to 0 and was the running mate of the famous Guy Chamberlain. Some au thorities give Rutherford the distinc tion of being Nebraska's greatest all around athlete. After Rutherford had graduated from Nebraska he was employed as assistant coach at Wash ington University, St. Louis. He re mained there for a few years, then went out west, where he is now coaching. The following article was received at the Daily Nebraskan office a few days ago from one of the Seattle papers: "When Whitman College and the University of Washington football teams played Saturday, a keen-eyed young man from Corvallis, Ore., watched every movement of the Washington players. He was Head Coach R. B. Rutherford of the Oregon Aggies, who came up to find out what kind of a game the University played, so that he might have some advance knowledge on how to conduct his offensive and defensive when the Aggies play here October 23, which will be the first big game on the O. A. C. schedule. "Rutherford was the great halfback of the University of Nebraska's famous team of 1913, which earned a right to share with Chicago, Notre Dame and the Michigan Aggies the disputed championship of the Middle Western states. Its important vie tory that year was a 7 to 0 defeat of Minnesota, on which Loren Solon, now assistant coach of the University of Washington team, played end. Ne- braska also beat Iowa that year, 13 to 0. Knows Western Coaches. "While Rutherford is new to Pacific Coast football, he is not a stranger to some of its coaches. Besides knowing Solon, he played against Bierman, now coach at Montana and Rosenthal, assistant coach at Call fornia. who, like Solon, hail from Minnesota. " 'I hear that Washington has a great football team,' said Rutherford, before seeing the Sun Dodgers in action. 'They tell me Allison has (Continued on Page Four) THE DAY In m:rketing their crops. ' JIo warned the farmers that a world wide price drop is on, and that the government could not stop it if they wished. Oil Production Increase. WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.

Three means which are thwarting prohibition are: procuring of bonded whisky from government warehouses and its sale; moonshinlng and the changing of labels; and smuggling whisky. AEROPLANE CARRIES NOTRE DAME IVIES Shipped By Air to Catch East-Bound Mail Plane at Omaha or Chicago. Motion pictures of the Notre Dame game could not have leen developed, printed and put in shape for showing at New York theaters in sufficient time had it not been for the fact that they could be shipped by airplane. Arrangements were made with the postmaster at Omaha to catch the airplane mail either at Omaha or Chi cago, depending on the schedule. v Films showing the 11,000 cheering spectators at the Saturday struggle will be shown at all Broadway moving picture theaters in New York City as soon as the pictures arrive on the fast mail plane. These films will be used as an advertising feature for the Nebraska-Rutgers game which will be played at the Polo Grounds in New York, November 2. They may also help to advertise the game with Penn State College at State College, Penn sylvania, November 6, because many grid enthusiasts will attend that game from the United States metropolis. The principal plays, the swarming crowds, the Nebraska cheer leaders in action, the cadet band, the South Omaha delegation, the cheering stands, the daring end runs and the mock marriage of Notre Dame and "defeat" will all be shown in the pic tures which were shipped to New York: It is possible that these same films Will be exhibited at Lincoln theaters in a short time. Commercial Club Initiates Friday The University Commercial Club will meet Friday, October 2, at 7:30 p. m., in the Y. M. C. A. reading room of the Temple building.

English women have quit gambling on love, to put their hopes on the gee-gees. Astouding numbers of women have placed large bets with commission agents during the 1920 racing season and these bets come from extraordinary sources. A well-known bookmaker told the United Press that most of the large bets placed with him by women have been from those residing in quiet country villages. "I think they are Beeking some kind of excitement to lessen the tedium or country life," he said. "Many of them have taken It op only recently. They don't profess to know anything about horses form, pedigree, jockeys and all those things which the male gambler studies assidioujly mean lees than nothing to women. SCHULTE'S III TRY H PUB Huskers Driven at Break-Neck Speed for Coming Battle With South Dakota. Pucelik Works Out Varsity Runs Signals and Scrimmage With Freshmen Squad Schissler Laid Up in Bed. Nebraska's Cornhuskers were put through another stiff workout last night in preparation for the South Dakota Coyotes Saturday. Coach Schulte is driving the men at race horse speed every night in order that as many new plays and formations as possible may be mastered before the trip east. Every one is looking for ward to the game with Rutgers and Penn State in the next few weeks an I is not giving as much thought to the South Dakota game as might be. That the Coyotes are out after Ne braska's scalp is evident from the re ports that are being received here. Coach Schulte is of the opinion that Saturday's game will be one of the hardest fought battles on far Husker calendar this season. Pucelik reported for work last night and is fast rounding into his old time form. Hubka has not as yet donned his suit but is expected out soon. The entire Husker squad is in pretty fair shape except for a few minor bruises with the exceptions of these two men. Last Saturday's defeat at the hands of Notre Dame has injected a new fighting spirit into the men and Husker followers are sure to re ceive a demonstration of the old time fighting spirit in Saturday's game. This will be the first game these two teams have participated in for six y ears. The last battle was a tie and Coach Schulte is bent on having his proteges give the Coyotes one of the worst beatings ever administered a visiting team at Nebraska. Coach Schulte is anxious to have the fol lowers of the Huskers see for them se'ves what Nebraska can Co against a team that would be a match for ti;h-?r Rutgers or Penn State. Scrimmage With Freshmen, 'lhe practice last evening was de voted entirely to running signals and scrimmaging against the Freshman squad. The Freshmen are worthy foes of the Varsity and give the older men a real battle every night. Assist ant Coach Schissler, who has been directing the Frosh all season, is con fined to his bed and reported quite sick. Since there has been secret practice every night this week just what kind of an attack Coach Schulte is going to have his warriors launch against the Coyotes cannot be deter mined. VERMILLION, S. D., Oct. 20 Coaches Whittemore and Stewart of the University of South Dakota, in (Continued on Page Four) DIRECTORY NOTICE. The publishers of the Uni versity directory request that the presidents of those clubs and societies which have been organized since September, 1919, leave a list of their offi cers with the secretary of the Y. M. C. A. at the Temple building not later than Friday, October 22. This is absolutely the time limit for corrections and additions for the new directory. October 11, 1920. To: All Officers of Instruction: At the senate meeting last Saturday it was decided to make quarterly reports on de linquencies of the Freshmen and Sophomores as well as such other reports s might be of value in promoting better work, and higher- scholarship. For Instance, a student start out as an 80 student, but has lost his grip and though still pass ing, Is now down to say 70. These reports should not be considered as doing away with the weekly use of the "Re marks" and "Standing" columns. The first report Is due Friday of this week. Prompt co-operation is urgent ly desired. . (Signed) CARL C. ENGBERO.
