to such huge proportions that the
manager and the assistant cannot
properly handle it. Consequently
Manager Fred Bosking has asked for
volunteers to assist in gathering ad
vertising for the' paper.
This -will offer an opportunity for
students to gain valuable experience
in newspaper administration. The ad
vertising field is one of vast dimen
sions and a helper on the staff or the
Nebraskan is afforded the chance to
get many helpful pointers In this
work. .
Anyone who is Interested In devot
ing a portion of his time daily to thlF
work should get In touch with the
business manager at once.

Student Life Section of Annual
Will Fairly Reck With Scandal
Bits of scandal from every corner
of the campus will be aired in the
Student Life Section of the 1921 Corn-
husker, according to the editors of the
book. This department, because or
many requests, will be larger than
those of any other years, and will
contain twice as much University
gossip.
"When every Husker buys his an
nual this year and he has glanced at
the various articles and pictures in
the first part of the book, he will
Instinctively turn to the Student Life
Section," said Hugh Carson, business
manager of the Cornhusker. Experi
ence of other years has proved that
this section is not only read once,
but repeatedly, after everything else
has been finished. The reason for
this appears to be the fact that all
ordinary mortals seem to delight in
laughing at certain predicaments in
which their particular friends have
played a prominent part.
Twice as Many Pages.
In order to give everyone the
proper amount of space to display his
brilliancy or lack of brilliancy, as
the case may-be the Scandal Section
will contain twice as many pages. It
is not merely the humor of the situa:
tion, however, that will be shown.
The Student Life department will be
a veritable "Book of Knowledge."

Junior Aggregation Defeated in Final
Match by Narrow Margin
of One Goal.
Battle Closely Contested Throughout
Ruth McKenney and Martha
Krogmann Star.
With a lone goal to their credit.
the Senior girls' soccer team won the
championship in the inter-class tourna
ment by defeating the Junior aggre
gation in the final game 'Thursday
morning on the Athletic field. The
margin between the two team? is no
greater than the one point difference
in score indicates. The two evenly
matched teams played one of the
best soccer games ever seen on the
Nebraska field.
Until the final whistle blew the
outcome of the game was in doubt.
The one Senior score was made in
the first quarter. Several times after
that They tried to carry Qe ball
through the Junior goal posts for an
other score bujt were effectually held
by the third-year players. It seemed
almost inevitable that the Juniors
would send the ball through the
Senior goal posts but each time the
play was blocked by their opponents.
Individual Stars.
Ruth McKenney, stellar Senior
player, and Martha Krogmann, goal
keeper, were the mainstays of the
winning team.

NEWS OF
Harding May Visit Mexico.
ENROUTE WITH PRESIDENT
ELECT HARDING, NEW ORLEANS.
Nov. 19. The proposed visit or President-elect
Harding to a Mexican port
may hinge on action by President
Wilson, it was learned today. It has
been Intimated by some friends of the
Mexican government at the WTiite
House that they would feel it a very
gracious thing if President Wilson
should let Senator Harding represent
him in a meeting" with Gen. Obregon.
Soft Coal Drop to Continue.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 19. The
bituminous coal supply is outstripping
the demand, production promises to
reach new high records and prices
continue dropping, coal men and gov
ernment officials agreed today. A
less optimistic view is taken or the
anthracite situation, but the belief is
expressed here that it will also soon
recover from the outlaw strike and
right itself hy the first of the year.
League Criticized for Secret Session.
GENEVA, Nov. 19. The newspaper.
La Suisse, publis'ted a report here
that a canvas of the delegates at the
League fc-f Nations assembly shows
that all neutrals except Spain prob
ably would support the admission of
Germany. There was severe criticism
GHAMPI0HSH1P
has been suggested aa a proper name
for these pages of gossip.
Pictures varied and illuminating
will illustrate many of the findings
of the sleuths who are already on the
trail of slander and scandal. The
necessary formality of the Board of
Censorship will be, of course, one or
the assets of the Cornhusker. This
board is to be liberal and adjustable.
It is its elasticity, according to those
who know, that makes it of so much
value. Students will not find that
their own section has beeu hampered
by the presence of this criticism.
The section will give students the
opportunity to see themselves as they
really are and as others see them.
The co-ed who has unknowingly erred
or departed from the straight and
narrow path of the student so to
speak will find herself pictured "au
natural." The bold and dashing Uni
versity Apollo will appear minus his
perfect role and his over-powering
air. "No discrimination will be shown
and no mercy spared," declared the
editor of the student page yesterday.
It is the wish that the section have
a truthful and accurate cacount in
picture, rhyme, and song of the life
of the student on the campus, in the
classroom, and in that particular sport
conducive to the utterance of sweet
nothings. "Wait and see," is the only
hint we have of the real contents of
the gossip paragraphs.

TO BATTLE Gfi
Inter-College Title to Be Settled
by Match on Athletic Field
Monday.
The Dental College and the College
of Law will match elevens Monday
afternoon at 2:30 on the Athletic
field in the second inter-college game
of the year. The Laws practiced
again yesterday and appear to have
the same advantage over the Dents
as they displayed when they tromped
on the Engineers Armistice day, with
a score of 13-0.
As there are no Varsity football
men in the College of Dentistry-, the
embryo dentists declare that they
have some excellent material. The
Law team, however, appears to be in
the best of condition after the game
with the Engineers. Nevertheless,
Coach Malcolm Baldridga will con
tinue to round the barristers into
shape to better prepare them for the
coming battle.

to partake in the Monday clash, be
cause they have no men either on
the Varsity or Freshman grid squads.
Their team organization was started
last Sunday. Since that time daily
signal practice has been held. The
"Dents" appear confident of a victory
over the barristers, in spite of the
fact that the Engineers fell before
tfcre tactics of the Laws in the
Armistice day tangle.
The game promises to be exciting.
Cheer leaders from the ranks of both
colleges will appear on the field and
inject spirit into those in the stands.

Secret Practice Held In Nebraska

Aggies Not Discouraged
Freshmen Will Clash With Teeumseh
Legion tieven in Curtain
Raiter.
Coach Schulte drilled his men last
evening in a stiff sign'! practice. The
practice was held behind closed gates
and every effort was exerted to de
velop a class or teamwork which win
entirely baffle the Michigan Aggies on
next Saturday. The Aggies are out
for blood and feel confident of vic
tory even though they have lost sev
eral games this season. The follow
ing article to the Star will give one
an idea of the Wolverine sentiment:
EAST TENSING, Mich., Nov. 18
The Michigan Aggies boarded a train
today for the trip to Lincoln after a
week or preparation ror the battle
with Nebraska on Saturday, which
monopolized the entire limelight or
Michigan Aggie athletic affaire, play
ers and coaches alike recognizing
the meeting as the crucial test or
the Aggie season.
Ever since the University of Michi
gan game in October, the Wolverine
"Farmers" have been favored with a
comparatively easy schedule, and
Coach "Potsy" Clark has made full
use or the chance to point his team
for the all-important engagement with
the Cornhuskers. That Clark's men
have come along with remarkable
speed was evidenced last Saturday
when they literally buried Chicago
Physical Training College under an
SI to 0 score, this in spite of the fact
that two full teams and many addi
tional substitutions were used hy the
Aggies during the game.
Off to Slow Start.
The Aggies started the season slow
ly. After dropping a hard fought
battle to Wisconsin, oonquerors or
the championship Illinois team last
Saturday, and losing the following
week to the University of Micfligan,
the East Lansing squad apparently
struck Its stride and has been riding
rough-shod over all competition since.
When the big green squad smeared
Olivet College. 109 to 0. on October
30, the dopsters thought that weak
ness on Olivet's part might be re
sponsible for the score; but with the
drubbing given the Chicago training
school team, which had been enjoy
ing a winner season, it became ap
parent that "Potsy" Clark had really
developed a formidable offensive.
Aggie Line Baffled Badgers.
Defensive power was shown early
in the season. Wisconsin, now rated
about the most powerful aggregation
in the "Big Ten" conference, found
the going mighty rough against the
Aggie line, and was able to chalk up
only 6 points during the entire first
