Passes Successful Against Sooners.
Last Saturday Kansas tried abou,t
fifty passes from all sorts of different
formations and succeeded in making
a majority of these good against the
Sooners. Although the K U. men
were forced to take the small end of
the score their passing record was
something that Nebraska coaches are
giving a great deal of thought to. The
Kansas squad is under the direction
of "Potsy" Clark this year, who Vas
head mentor at the Michigan Aggie
school last j car. The former Illi
nois star has some real men in his
siuad at Lawrence this season and
with a week of practice is planning to
bring an atlak to Lincoln that will
keep the Huskms guessing evcr

Freshmen And Sophomores Are 'Deeply
Concerned With Developments As
Olympics Draw Near.
PICKING OUT
BEST
MEN
First Year Men Determined They Will
Not Continue To Wear The Green
Caps After Next aturday.
Every male student in the Universi
ty of Nebraska enrolled in one of the
two lower classes is becoming more
and more concerned each day as the
Olympics, to be held next Saturday
morning at the Rock Island ball park,
draw near. Even the co-eds of the two
classes are urging the boys to win for
their class.
Both classes are busy picking out
tiie best men for each event. The
freshmen held their tryouts for the
relay Monday evening and for boxing
and wrestling Tuesday evening. The
sophomores held a preliminary tryout
a week ago Monday ana na- j sone
duled the final tryouts for Wednesday J
evening at 7 o'clock in 'the armory,
Both classes are claiming victory al
though none to strong. The sophomores
are basing their claim on the fact
that they have some of the best ath
leies in tho school. But the fresh
men come back with the statement
that their men are not known and
they will give the second year athletes
a surprise. But let that be as it may,
one of the two classes must win and
the one which wins onus fight its
hardest. ,
Committees Silent.
Committee chairmen of Iboth the
classes are keeping silent about their
activities in preparation for the Olym
pics. Nothing is being announced, oth
er than the dates of the tryouts. Lit
tle has been revealed as to what is
the material each class has.
But silence or no silence, records
tell something. The sophomore class
has some men who showed up to per
fection last year and it he freshmen
have some men who made excellent
records in high schools. The dope on
the two classes stands practically fifty
fifty and no one wil know who wins
until after next Saturday.
Say Green Caps Must Go.
With the visit Tuesday morning of
tho first cold spell of the year, the
freshmen have all united to assert
that the green caps must go. The lit
tle head gears are cold about the ears
r.nd it won't be the fresmen's fault if
they aren't thrown into the discard
after Saturday.
While the green cap controversy is
not the real purpose for the alympics.
tradition has made it the most import
ant in the minds of the freshmen. The
olympfcs are held more to get the
two classes to become acquainted and
to have a do y of fun than anything
else. Olympics were held long before
the green caps were ever introduced
into tne University.
Announcement of tae events for the
Olympics together with the points
which each event counts will be made
late this week toy the Innocents socie
ty, in charge of the contest.
Owing to the fact that they are out
numbered, the sophomores are plan
ning hard. They realize especially
fraternity men that the yearlings wui
want to take certain things out oi
them and they are preparing to meet
the emergency as It arises. Just what
the plans are, cannot be learned, but
they have them and they Intend to
use them.

BEGUM
The Franco-German Problem
By Prof. Fred
The success of the disarmament
conference will depend largely upon
the attitude of the American delega
tion. If America fellows a narrow
policy herself only in what directly
affects America, looks upon the set
tlement of tho Pacific problems ns
her chief concern problems related
to the reduction of navies rathor than
of amiios the conference Is likely
to disappoint those who expect it to
fffect a sweeping reduction of at mo
ments, both on land and sea. Only
three of tho nations to be represented
at the Washington conference are
primary concerned with the re
duction of navies, England, America,
and Japan. For Fiance and Italy, the
great burden is that of standing
armies. It is essential to the poace
of the world that tho great armies
of Italy and France should oe re
duced, but, this cannot be done, iC
the problems that have called these
armies into existence aro nat' sei
tled. ' The problem that renders neces
sary a great standing army in France
is that of the relation of France to
Germany. It falls under two heads:
1 The enforcement of the treaty ot
Versail'es and, 2 the 'defense
against possible German aggression
in the future.
Geimany did not willingly accep;
the treaty of Versailles and lis ex
ecution has been resisted at every
step. It is clear that, without a large
French army on .the Rhine, the treatj
of Versailles would never have been
executed. It is equally clear that as
long as the attitude of Germany to
ward the treaty remains unchanged,
force is tho only thing that will make
possible its execution, and, as France
is chiefly concerned in its execution,
France must maintain a large stand
ing army, unless some other means
's discovered of securing the execu
tion of tho treaty.
Germany is disarmed, but the dis
armament was accomplished only af
ter a display of force on the part of
France. Germany lias a population
nearly twice as largo as that of
France and this population is fdlea
with bitterness against France and
would willingly, if it could, correct
"! what it considers the Iniquities of the
trcvty of Versailles. Let France re
duce its armaments, make It pos
sible for Germany to aim again, and,
unless Germany's mental attitude
should change. Germany would arm
and attempt to right what she con
siders her wrongs. France would be
threatened by a greater peril than in
1914.
Execution of the treaty of Ver
sailles and guarantee against future
attacks on the part of Germany arc-
the two things that will interest the
French delegates at the disarmament
conference. These are more vital to
them than tho Pacific problem. C.'n
we expect them to interest themsel
ves In the Pacific problem, if we
refuse to take any part in the solu
tion of the Franco-German problem?
What can the conference do? Two
things.
First; if the treaty of Versailles Is
not fair to Germany, make it fair.
Second: Then guarantee the execu
tion of it and guarantee France, in
the future, against any war of re

lice force.
The Russian Problem.
If the conference at Washington
is to make disarmament, or the re
duction of armaments in the world,
possible, it can hardly escape this
most difficult of present-day worlu
problems, tlu Russian problem. The
Paris conference could not avoid it, al
though it did not solve it. But in the
three years that have passed since
the repsesentullves of the great na
tions of the world met in Paris, the
Russian siuation lias suffered a
change. Russia has made peace with
Poland, communism in Russia has
proved a pitiful failure, the people
of Russia arc starving, and the sal
vation of what remains of Russian
civilization will depend, evidently,
upon sympathetical aids from the
other peoples of the world and, first
of all, from America. The indica
tions of a return of sanity in Russia
are the suspension, within Russia, of
tho regulations Interfering with free
trade, a renewal of trade relations
with England, and a declaration of
its willingness to assume the debts
due to foreign nations before 1914,
debts that had been ropudiated.
The economic restoration of Rus
sia is of the utmost significance to
the whole world. The world needs
Russia's surplus foor supply and raw
material and it needs the Russian
market for it3 manufactured goods,
while Russia can never get on its
feet without the help of foreign cap
ital, foreign skill, and foreign manu
facturers. The economic collapse ot
Russia is one of the most fundament
al causes of the economic distress to
day in all the countries of the world.
But why should a disarmament con
ference concern itself with what ap
pears to be chiefly an economic prob
lem? How does the Russian prob
lem threaten the peace of the world?
The existing Russian government
cae into being three years ago by
the use fo force on the part of a
minority of the Russian people and
this minority still maintains control
by force. If this were simply a Rus
slan ques'liwu a question if civil
-nr. the world might ignore it, as it
has ignored the Mexican question
ut, unfortunately, it is much more
than a civil war. The Russian gov
ernment has declared war on all ex
isting governments, even oh organ
ized society, outside of Russia, and
advocates tho use of ' force by the
nroletariats in overthrowing these
governments. All these attempts have
failed and Russia, at the end of its
resources, is ready to renew trade
and diplomatic relaitons with the rest
of the world. The government does
not, however, abandon its attitude to
ward capitalist society, and should
an opportunity arise in tho future,
to renew this war, it would not con
sider itself bound by any treaties it
has made under compulsion.
Such a peril cannot be met effect
ively by a divided world. A settle
ment must, be reached with Russia
that will make possible the re-entry
of Russia into the society of nations,

HAS PART III
All Former Service Men at Nebraska
Asked to March Friday Afternoon
In Lincoln Celebration,
TO HAVE SEPARATE SECTION
All Students And Faculty Members
Who Served In War Should
March In Uniform.
Every University of Nebraska facul
ty mem'ber and student who was in the
service during the great war Is ex
pected to march in the Armistice day
parade Friday afternoon. All members
or the R. O. T. C. will also march.
No matter in what part of the
service he served, no matter what
rank he served in, no matter whether
hp is a legion man or not, no matter
whether he was disabled or not every
man in the University who was any
where in the service should take part.
There are alboiit (fifteen hundred
men in the University who should
march in the parade. Every one of
thorn is wanted to help make the uni
versity section the best. in the parado.
If possible it is hoped that all of
the ex-service men w ill appear In uni
form. But whether he has his uniform
or not; every ex-service man is want
ed. Transportation For Disabled.
There are some ex-service men in
the University who are physically dis
abled and cannot march. If they will
call Prof. C. J. Frankfort er, in charge
of the University sect'on of the par
ade, he will secure transportation for
them.
The marchers should meet at
Twelfth and R streets at 12:45 in the
afternoon to line up for the parade.
The University section will be lined
up as follows:
University colors. j
University band.
AU ex-service men of the University,
sludents and faculty members alike,
in uniform.
All ex-service men of the University
students and faculty members, without
uniforms.
University R. O. T. C.
Vocational training students.
The national guard will follow.
No Rank Distinction.
There is to he no rank distinction
in the way the University section lines
up. Whether the marcher was a private
or a captain will make no difference
Whether the marcher is a member of
the faculty or of the student body will
make no difference. The idea is to got
every ex-service man into the parade
and nothing else counts.
Prof. Frankforter has sent letters to
every fraternity in the school asking
that they get all of their ex-sorvice
men out for the parade. He is also on
the heels of every faculty man. who
was in the service, to get them into
the parade.
No matter in what section of the
army or navy the person served, he
is wanted In this parade. Members of
the S. N. T. C. and the S. A. T. C.
alike are wanted. Students who served
in the artillery, cavalry, air service,
machine gun any part of the army or
navy are wanted in the parade.
The Lincoln post of the American
Legion is planning a big section in the
parade. The national guard will take
part and all other patriotic organiza
tions in the city. If the plans work out,
the University section should be the
best of them all.
ARMISTICE
VALLEV MEET IS
HERE SATURDAY
EVpect Hard Fought Cross Country
Meet on Belmont Course
This Week.
HAVE STRONG RUNNERS
Missouri Valley Run h Annual Affair
First Time in Lincoln
in Years.
One of tho closest and hardest
fought contests ever staged for dis
tant championship in tho valley is
.scheduled to be held here Saturday
morning over the Belmont course.
Coach McMasters, handicapped by
the loss of Captain Williams is mak
ing a strenuous effort to strengthen
Nebraska's team, and several changes
in the lineup will probably be made.
According to word received here the
valley teams contain an unusual large
number of veterans, and, as a result,
are excepticnally strong. -
The Missouri valley cross country
lun is an annual affair. It is to be
held in Lincoln lor the first time in
a number of years. This meet has
always been an exciting contest,
which brings the cream of the valley
runners into competition. This meet
has been won by Ames for three con
secutive years.
Nebraska's Prospects.
Coach McMasters in an attempt to
present the strongest possible lineup
in the valley run Saturday, held an
other tryout last night. The' tryout
whs held over the Belmont course,
and about a doen runners competed.
Due to the chilly weather, fast time
was made by the runners. The results
of the tryouts have not yet been an
nounced, but the team has already
been strengthened by several
changes. - -
Slemmons and Fischer, Omaha
medics, have been placed on the team
and will run in the valley meet. The
presence of Slemmons, whose run
ning was a feature or the tryout last
Saturday, is expected to bolster up
Nebraska's team considerably.
Fischer, who also ran in tho fcrw
last Saturday, is another fast runner.
Allen, an Omaha medic, who was one
of the mainstaysofihe team last year,
ma' also be in the Nebraska lineuv
for this race.
Valley Teams Strong.
Tho Missouri distance team, under
the guidance of Coach Bob Simpson,
the world's champion hurdler, ranks
among the best in the Missouri val
ley. The team is composed almost
entirely of veterans. Maxwell, Wi&
gins, and Henderson, three year men,
and Seville, a two year man, are the
heart of the aggregation.
Coach Schlademan of Kansas uni
versity has five veteran harriers on
tho cross country squad. The Jay
hawker team is formed around the
veterans, James and Patterson, two
sterling runners. The Jayhawk team
Is a speedy aggregation. They dem
onttrated their class a few weeks
ago when they decisively defeated the
fast Kansas Aggies distance men.
With this victory in mind, Kansas U
;s confident of carrying off first hon
ors in the valley run.
