Dr. L. P. Hall Talks
Before Law Students
"Attorneys are not for the purpose
of enabling one to evade the law but
rather to protect the rights of the
individual or of the mass against a
wrong doer. Honesty is of the utmost
Importance to the successful lawyer
for without It he will never be able
to secure the confidence of his clients.
In any profession honesty Is essen
tial to real success, and this is espe
cially true in law for a dishonest
lawyer loses the respect and confi
dence of the public," said Dr. L. P.
Hall in his address to the College of
Law, Friday, December 3.
Dr. Hall has been one of Lincoln's
most prominent bankers for a number
of years. He is a member or the
Federal Reserve Board for this dis
trict As president of the Central
National Bank of, Lincoln he has had
a great deal to do with law problems.
He spoke from actual experience and
his suggestions were hearilly accepted
by the students of the Law College.
In closing he left the following
suggestions before his student audl
eace: 1 want to Impress the abso
lute necessity of a moral standard for
all lawyers. If you haven't a moral
standard to sustain you in y "r pro
fesslon you will -be a fallu.a as a
lawyer and no one will have confi
dence or trust in you. I wouldn't sur
render my moral standard for . any
client ou tsarth. - The primary purpose
of the attorney is meroly to uphold
the right of a client No successful
business with real successful leaders
will employ a dishonest lawyers

Think Neb. City
Is State Capital
The impression that Nebraska City
is capital of the state of Nebraska Is
firmly established In the minds of the
French people, according to a letter
received by Chancellor Avery. Last
week the Chancellor received a com
munication from a certain "Com
pagnie France-Orient"' which read
that we "organize regularly trials -of
agricultural tractors and wib reports
on same." Compagnle purports to be
Interested in the importation of trac
tors "in Russia and East Europa ana
generally in all lands."
Thus, the tractor testing depart
ment of the University of Nebraska
seems to have spread its fame afar,
even though the minds of the '-ench
people are in a quandary as to the
geographical truths of this state.

GRAND ISLAND BATTLES
WESLl YAN TO TIE
E
Scoreless Contest Leaves State Con
ference Football Championship
Still Undecided.
State Conference football was
brought to a close Saturday when the
Grand Island and Wesleyan teams
met in a post season game to decide
the championship. The final outcome
of the game was 0 to 0. The game
waa evenly matched as far as statis
tics are concerned.
The contest was played on the Uni
versity of Nebraska field and on ac
count of the condition of the field no
sensational playing was recorded by
either team. The defense of both
teams was very effective at all times.
The only count of the game came
when Kahm, the Wesleyan halfback",
booted a drop kick between the Grand
Island goal posts. Referee Jones de
tected a Wesleyan man using his
hands and the ball was brought back
and returned to Grand Island.
Both teams were within scoring
distance a number of times but lacked
the punch to put the ball over for
the necessary count The champion
ship Is still undecided. There will
not in any probability be another
game to decide the winner.
E
GAMES NEXT (EAR
Nebraska to Play Oklahoma, Drake,
Ames and Kansas, Strongest
Missouri Valley Teams.
Notre Dame Scheduled
West Virginia, Rutgers and Unlver.
sity of Southern California Negoti
ating for Contests in 1921.
That Nebraska will meet a number
of Missouri Valley Conference teams
in 1921 became a certainty after
Director Luehring and Coach Schulte
returned from Kansas City where
they attended a meeting of the
Valley officials and coaches. Arrange
ments have been made to meet Okla
homa, Drake, Ames and Kansas, of
the Conference teams next fall. These
four teams are practically the strong
est teams In the Conference and these
battles will be a real test of Ne
braska's strength.
Oklahoma unquestionably was the
champion of the Conference this past
season and Kansas was one of the
strong contenders for championship
honors. Ames and Drake were two
of the strosgest teams in the Con
ference and should furnish some real
opposition for the Huskers next fall.
Nebraska also has another game
with the Michigan Aggies for next
season. The Aggies will more than
likely have a good team next year
and they will be anxious to make up
for the defeat administered by the
Huskers this year.
Play Notre Dame. ' "
Notre Dame is almost sure to be
one of Nebraska's opponents when
the schedule is completed. Whether
the game will be held in Lincoln or
South Bend, has not as yet been de-
cided, but it will, in all probability, be
staged in Lincoln. The Husker
Notre Dame contest always draws a
big crowd to Lincoln.
A number of other teams are ne
gotiating with the Husker officials.
This list includes such teams as West
Virginia, Rutgers and University or
Southern California who have made
offers to the Husker directors. Prince
ton and Harvard have been negotiat
ing to a certain extent, but nothing
definite has been decided. The Corn-
huskers will probably make arrange
ments to take another trip East by
the time the football season starts
next fall.
The schedule, so far, has five games
as a certainty, with one or two others
that are almost sure of a place on
the Husker schedule. Next year's
lineup of games will no doubt be Just
as hard as this year's from all appear
ances. It is the plan of the Ne
braska athletic officials to bring the
best football talent that can be se
cured to Nebraska for contest on the
local field.
