    SERVICE KEYNOTE OF
SPEECH BY GENERAL
Serve to Limit Says Army Officer
In Talk to Students.
Give the World the Best That You
Have, is Adyice to University
Members.
"Serve to the limit of your mental
and physical ability," declared Gen
eral Leonard E. Wood at a special
convocation yesterday morning at 11
o'clock In the Temple theater. "Serv
ice" was the keynote of his speech.
The speaker was Introduced by Chan
cellor Samuel Avery. The convoca
tion was arranged late Wednesday
by Prof. Paul H. Grummann of the
School of Fine Arts.
Oe-neral Wood continued In part:
"Those who participated In the late
World War are now the bigsest advo
cates for peace but until our enemies
know that everybody In the United
States Is ready and willing to serve,
then, only will peace be brought about.
"We don't want a large army for
two reasons: (1) it demand? the ex
penditure of a large sum of money;
and (2) It falsely represents the
strength of a country. The organiza
tion of a country must be moral as
well as material.
Equality of Obligation.
"Our constitutional democracy
stands for equality of privilege. This
Is fundamental. With this, however,
goes equality of obligation, which
rests squarely upon us all. It is not
voluntary; it is not a matter of volun
teering it is a duty we all have to
face.
. "Give to the world the best, that
you have. The League of Nations has
ceased to be an issue politically at
least but the thought is not yet dead.
America will eventually be found in
a position to throw her influence
toward a world peace but she will
not be forced into this position by the
guidance of other nations. When this
is accomplished, nations will work in
co-operation with one another.
"Give everything you have to your
country. The trouble with America
has been not that we have not been
brave, and willing but the fact that
we have been untrained.
"You have not fitted yourself as a
citizen unless you are ready to serve.
Training camps are not primarily to
build up a great army of soldiers;
they are primarily to develop a true
citizenship in America."
Although the hour was late when
the convocation was announced a
large audience greeted the famous
speaker. General Wood had a busy
program in store for him on the
Armistice holiday, including partici
pation in the parade of ex-service
men. He was the guest of the city
of Lincoln for the entire day.
the contest Coaches Daldridge and
Doyle rounded the members of the
two teams into condition for the
struggle. The game proved to be
both interesting and exciting. The
Laws were superior in weight and
speed.

The Junior girls' soccer team scored
one goal against the Freshmen in the
preliminaries of the inter-class soccer
tournament, played on the Athletic
field Thursday noon. In the Senior
Sophomore game six periods were
played without either side making a
goal. The two teams will meet again
at a date to be announced later.
Almost throughout the J'mior
Freshman clash the ball was in h
man territory. But the Fret, i.
ways rallied when their goal was
threatened and carried the ball back
down the field. For the one goal
scored the Junior first line carried
the ball down the field to within a few
yards . of the goal and Mary Hardy
put the ball across. Spectacular play
ing was not in evidence. Every player
performed well. For a first-year team
the Freshmen showed up exceedingly
well against the experienced Junior
players.
