Nebraska Athletic Policy Forbids
Contests. With Any But
College Teams.
The Nebraska Cornhuskers will not
perform on the gridiron in San Fran
cisco on January 2, although they
have been invited to meet the Pa
cific fleet amateur team there uii that
date. It is strictly contrary to the
policy of Nebraska athletics to play
any but college teams and consequent
ly it will be impossible to consider
the proposal.
Director of Athletics F. W, Lueb
ring the following invitation by tele
gram :
"W. F. Luehring, Director of Ath
letics, Lincoln, Nebraska. Wire terms

Year's, January 2, 1922, with college,
auspices Native sons AtnietiC ciudj
membership 1,500. Answer wire col
lect. J. J. Lane, Manager.
In reply Mr. Luehring sent the fol
lowing message:
"J. J. Lane, Manager, Native Sons'
Athletic club, San Francisco, Calif.:
Regret impossible to consider game
without knowing name of college op
ponent. F. W. Luehring, Director.
The San Ftancisco promoters then
came back with an fnvitation to meet
the Pacific fleet amateur team in
stead of a college team as inferred in
the first telegram. Mr. Luehring then
immediately wired the westerners
that it would be impossible to con
sider playing a game in San Fran
cisco unless with a college opponent.
Even if the Cornhuskers were
booked to meet a college eleven in
the California city, it would be very
difficult to arrange the affair. Per
mission would first have to be ob
tained from the Missouri Valley con
ference and this might be a hard prop
osition. In past years the Nebraska
team has been invited to play post
season games and has been held up
ly valley schools. In 1915 the Husk
ers, were asked to play at the tourna
ment of roses in Pasedena but were
unable to make the trip.
There seems to be no chance of the
Huskers playing any post-season
teams, unless unexpected develop
ments arise.
Y. W. STAFF DINNER
TO BE HELD TUESDAY
The regular Y. W. C. A. staff din
ner will be held Tuesday evening at
o'clock at Ellen Smith .hall. Sixty
five eirls who are serving on the
various staffs of the Y. W. C. A. are
expected to attend. The dinner will
be 50 cents a plate. '
The first htaff dinner was held
early in the month with the social
service committee in charge. The
membership staff will be in charge oi
this dinner.
Interesting Review of Past
tins. Alumni 'will recall the rather
ornate cover design by Miss Sarah
Moore of the art department. It rep
resented a huge sunfjower, supported
by the "Hesperian students." Across
the face of the sunflower ran a rib
bon bearing the letters . "Hesperian
student" The typography of th's
paper became so careless that, it was
not unusual for the paper to appear
with all the s's or some other letters
in italics. These strange freaks of
the printer became such a joke among
the students that one day a fake edi
tion of The Hesperian appeared. It
was made up largely of the most ab
surd items from the real Hesperian.
Wllla Cather Was Editor.,
In- 1892, Willa Cather became lit
erary editor of The Hesperian and a
few years later editor-in-chief, and it
was under her vigorous leadership

"CHICK"
1922 Cornhusker
Letter Men Elect Star Fullback To
Lead 1922 Football At Meeting
Held After Game.
Harold S. Hartley was chosen to
pilot the destinies of the 1922 Corn
husker football machine at a meeting
of the letter men following the
Thanksgiving contest. Hartley has
proved himself to be one of the best
fullbacks in the country, both on of
fense and defense.
"Chick" played Varsity football here
in 1918, when he was a member of
the S. A. T. C. team and played fresh
men football the year following. Last
year he played Varsity football' and
distinguished himself in the halfbacn
position. Coach Dawson has been us
ing the new captainelect at the full
back position this, year, where he has
made a name for himself as one of the
most consistent ground gainers on the
Cornhusker squad. Hartley is adept at
ipassing, his long passes, with Captain
Swanson on the receiving end, win
ning a number of contests this year
for the Cornhuskers. Hartley has been
doing the kicking the latter part ot
the season for the Huskers and ha3
developed a remarkable toe in com
paratively a short time.
Hartley isi a member of a numbsr of
organizations on the campus and is a
junior law. He Is also a member of
Phi Delta Theta.

Marksmanship promises to take a
decided place among the list of
sports already established at the Uni
versity. of Nebraska, if we may Judge
by the excellent work that has been
done by the men of the R. O. T. C
on the gallery range in Nebraska hall.
Each one of the companies is giv
a period of three days during which
all the men in that company are ex
nprtftd to fire sixtv rounds. The gal

pany only during the period allotted
Of the companies that have fired to

In the gallery work, the .22 caiibia
ammunition is used Jn the regular
Springfield rifle, which gives all of
the pleasure of shooting without any
of the accompanying "Kick, as tnose
who have used the service ammuni
tion can well testify. The uncertain
ties of wind and weather are also
eliminated, in the gallery work.
The firing is done from four posi
tions, standing, sitting, kneeling, and
prone. The attainment of accuracy
in the standing position is conceded
to be the most difficult test of marks
manship. Firing from a prone posi
tion is reckoned the easiest.
Among the very excellent scores
that have been fired in the gailery
this fall are the following. The scores
are reckoned on the basis of a pos
sible 300 points:

Ten Cornhuskers are given places

the Kansas City Star, one of the
leading sport writers of the valley.
Four of these are on the first team,
four on the second team, and two on
the third team. Clarence Swanson,
Husker chieftain, is named as cap
tain of the first mythical eleven
Here are McBride's selections:

E. W. Cochrane, a sport writer and
football official, places Swanson, Ly
man, and Hartley on the first team
and Preston, Wright and Noble, on
the second team.
Not Enough Huskers.
Followers of the pigskin sport at
Nebraska believe that the Husker
team should be better represented on
any all-valley team than the above
selections indicate. McBride saw the
Dawson machine in action only once,
at Ames, and Cochrane did net wit

University Players Deserve
Credit For Their Successful
Drama and Comedy Production
By Isabel Evans.
Under the direction of Miss Alice
Howell, professor of dramatic art on
the faculty, the University Players

The University Players gave their

at the Temple theater. They produced
George M. Cohen' greatest ccmedy.
The Seven Keys to Baldpate." A
capacity audience filled the theater
and received the production most en

GAGE PRACTICE
Thirty-Five Men Report To Coach
Frank At First Official Practice
Of Season.
MEET ALL VALLEY TEAMS
Kan as Slated For First Scrap Husk,
ers Journey To Lawrence De
cember 20th.
Coach Frank of the cage squad call
ed his proteges together for the first
official practice last evening in the
Armory. Thirty-five men turned out for
Varsity work. Practically all of bust
year's quintet have been lost and
Husker fans will witness an almost
entirely new combination in action
this year.
Most of the members of last year'
freshmen crew reported for practice
and a number of las, year's Varsity
squad. Regular practice will be held
from now on and Coach Frank plans
to make use of the floor at the Stato
Coliseum as much as possible thru
out the week. The initial call for
the freshmen basket ball squad will
bo announced some time later.
John Pickett, who coached the yearl
ing aggregation last season is assist
ing Coach Frank at. the present time
and will probably take charge of the
Fro?h when the call is sounded. The
Huskers are not meeting teams out
side the Missouri Valley conference
this year and Director Leuhring looks
forward to a championship year in the
Valley conference for the cage sport.
Last season the Huskers finished in
second place, losing one Valley game
to the Ames Cyclones on the latter's
floor.
The candidates from last year's
squad in action at. the present time
are Captain Smith, Carman, Warren,
Munger, Haverley, Russell, and a num
ber of other stellar performers. From
last year's Frosh crew, Coach Frank
has a wealth of material to pick from.
Toft, Holland, Schaffers, Gibbs, Miller,
Hamilton, Spear, and several other
stars on last year's yearling aggrega
tion. The initial contest is practically a
month off as yet and Coach Frank
expects to have his proteges in first
class condition for the coming fray,
with the Kansas Jayhawkers at Law
rence on the 20th of December. The
Huskers proved their superiority over
the Kansans on the gridiron this sea
son and w-ill have a chance to demon
strate to the Jayhawkers the calibre
of basket ball teams turned out at the
Husker school. The scarlet and cream
cage aggregation did not get to meet
the Kansans last season and this will
be the fir.t mix for a numbeT of
years.
NEBRASKA SUMMER SCHOOL
ENROLLMENT MOUNTING UP
The enrollment at summer sessions
in American universities, colleges
and normal schools is one of the
promising signs of the times The
major part of those in attendance are
teachers preparing to render better
service by this means.
The University of Nebraska ranked
fourteenth in enrollment amorg state
universities, and twenty-third among
all institutions. In rate of increase
over 1920, Nebraska stood fourth
among those of its own rank, showing
45 per cent increase and being sur
passed only by Iowa Stato college,
Pennsylvania and Colorado.

falling snow and howling wind was
very realistic and gave an air of
Broadway to the production.
The cast was carefully selected and

the players did exceptionally good
work. Floyd Johnson carried the char
acter lead of Magee splendidly. His
portrayal of the dashing young author,
who has made a wager with a friend
that he can write a ten thousand
word story in twenty-four hours, was
carried off excellently. Herbert Yenne
did an especially good character sketch
as the eccentric hermit, who hates
everything in genera!. Mr. Yenne
