CAMP'S SELECTION
Nebraska And Iowa Only Teams
To Be Given Two Represent
atives On First Team.
c p,t:. Clarence Swansou and John
Pucelik, veteran Cornhusker gridiron
Lrformers, Have been selected for tin
Lall-American football team by Bob
Ld of Kansas City. Reed offers to
,t hig selections against those pres
ented by Waiter Camp or any other
nicker of mythical elevens.
Nebraska and Iowa were the only
teams receiving two positions on tho
first "all" team. The other players
,lected for the eleven come from teams
of the entire country from California.
Xotre Dame, Lafayette, Pittsburgh,
penn State, Yale and Harvard.
Stein, Pittsburgh center, who Carl
Peterson, Nebraska center, is credited
by a Pittsburgh scribe with having
outplayed, is selected for tho pivot po
sition of the mythical team.
Sherman Criticizes Selection.
C. S. "Cy" Sherman of the Lincoln
Star gives the following comment In
regard to the selection of this all
American: "A rather nifty layout, to be sure,
but Noble of Nebraska would fit bet
ter than Devine of Iowa into the back
field. Killinger or Aldrich could attend
to the punting and forward pasiirg.
while Noble could play rings around
Devine in carrying the ball, either on
smashes off tackle or driving around
the wings. Wallace of Ames would
be a better selection for center. So
would Peterson of Nebraska who out
played Stein in the Nebraska-Pitt
game"
Nebraska fans are now anxiously
awaiting the announcement of .the se
lections far ' all-American team as
made by Walter Camp, rated as the
most authentic football critic in the
country. Unless Nebraska rates at
least one position on that team, Ne
braska fans will say and rightfully so
that the team was not the best that
buskers this year have at least three!
men who cannot be surpassed any
where in the country.
The selections of the K. C. writer
follow:
Ends Swanson, Nebraska, and
Anderson, Notro Dame.
Tackles Slater, Iowa, and McMil
lan, California.
Guards Pucelik, Nebraska, and
Schwab, Lafayette.
Center Stein, Pittsburgh.
Quarterback Killinger, Penn State.
Halfbacks Aldrich, Yale, and A.
Devine, Iowa.

Next Year Nebraska
May Go To Pitt.
If
Mr. K. E. Davis, manager of athlet
ics at Pittsburgh University, in a let
ter to Prof. P. K. Slaymaker of the
department of applied mechanics at
Nebraska, says, "Our arrangement
with Nebraska was that in case Penn
sylvania would come to Pittsburgh to
play, us in nineteen twenty-two, we
would go to Lincon. The way things
shape up now, I doubt if Penn is com
ing here, and I am trying to get Mr.
Luehring to bring the team to Pitts
burgh again if possible. They did not
draw so well this year, because Ne
braska was little known, and a lot
of people who were not familiar with
the strength of the Nebraska team
felt that we would win easily. We, of
course, knew we had a hard gamo.l
and were not surprised when we were
defeated."
Mr. Davis praised the Nebraska
team highly. He Hays, "Nebraska
played wonderful football against us,
and was entitled to the game. It was
one of the best coached and best bal
anced outfits that ever appeared in
Pittsburgh. We have no alibis to
make. They have a wonderful man in
M. Luehring, and I think that Coach
Dawson is also a man of high ideals."
"We had a fairly successful season
even if we did lose three games. We
wound up by tying Penn State out
fit which is considered by many the
strongest team in the east."
Mr. Davis wrote this letter in reply
to one in which Professor Slaymaker
asked if the publication of the Pitt
weekly had been suspended because
of the Neb-aska game. It was through
Mr. Slaymaker that the game was ar
ranged. He is an alumnus of Pitta
burgh University and since his grad
uation in 1898 has kept in close touch
with the .school. Mr. Davis, who is
also secretary of the alumni associa
tion at Pittsburgh, wrote and asked
him to sound out the athletic depart
ment concerning a game in Penn
sylvania, and he took the letter di
rectly to Mr. Luehring.
A stack of 'papers f.-om "Pitt U"
lay on Mr. Slaymuker's desk during
the interview. "Here," he said, "let
us see what the weekly says, about the
game. My papers were merely held
up by the mail of course, and I've
ust received a stack of them." After
going over them several times he dis
covered that the paper of the week
following the clash at Pittsburgh wa3
not in the bundle. He still wonders
if the absence of that issue is connect
ed in any way with the outcome of the
game.
Although Mr. Slaymaker was de
lighted with the score of the Pitts
urgh game, he feels that there is no
disloyalty in his attitude since he has
been connected with the University
of Nebraska for fourteen years and
has a son in the engineering college.

All of the other sororities on the

contributions were also received from
the dormitory girls although no dormi
tory went one hundred per cent.
These gifts will be placed on sale
this afternoon from two until eight
o'clock in Ellen' Smith hall. Several
booths have been built to display the
many beautiful and useful things
which are to be sold. Girls from vari
ous sorority houses and dormitories
will sell.
Those who wish to buy lovely arti
cles at the lowest price possible, will
ind this quite a bargain sale, and it
is expected that most of the gifts will
be sold long before the afternoon is
over as the articles have been priced
very reasonably and are very dainty
and desirable.
Other features of the affair are
booths where home-made candy will
be sold and a booth in which a fort

from the futures of all who apply
with the necessary silver.
The committee in charge is: Jeaa

have been working hard to make the
affair a success and with the splen

campus organizations have given, the
Bazaar promises to far exceed in re

years.
A GREAT INCENTIVE
A 1922 Cornhusker, the book of books, with your own
name embossed in gold letters isn't that worth a few min
utes concentration? And that is all it requires to dope out
a snappy little slogan for the Alumni Journal.
These of you who were not fortunate enough to win in
the recent limerick contest here is your opportunity. The
prize is the same, and a slogan is surely easier to write than
a limerick. And the Cornhusker isn't all you will have the
satisfaction of knowing you have helped, a very important
University publication accomplish it's best possible results.
COMING IN SLOW
To date the contest managers are a little disappointed in
the number of slogans that they have received. They have
no intention of prolonging 'ihe contest, however, and the best
slogan received by 6 p. m., December 17, will be declared the
winner. Accordingly, you had better hurry.

EXHIBITS MASKS
Are Gallery Has Two Masks Made
By Dwight Kirsch, Former
Nebraska Student
Two interesting masks which were
made by Dwight Kirsch, a former stud
ent at the University of Nebraska are
now hanging in the University art
gallery. Mr Kirsch is studying in New
York City and became interested in
this line of art when he saw some
of the masks which were made Dy
Benda, a Polish artist.
These two masks which are modeled
after the famous Benda masks are
made of many small pieces of card
board which are shaped and fitted to
gether to form the coutour of the face
The pieces are held together by strips
of gummed paper. It requires a con
siderable length of time as well as
an advanced knowledge of sculpture
and modeling to make one of these
masks. They will never be made in
large quantities for commerial pur
poses for each piece of work requires
so much skill and talent.
The two productions which Mr.
Kirsch has made are both based upon
Indian symbols. They are named
"Rain-in-the-face" and "The Corn
Princess." "Rain-in-the-face," the more
grotesque one, is based entirely on
the Indian symbol of rain. The arch
of the eyebrow and the nose together
form this symbol, his mask covers
only the face. The backof the head
is supposed to be covered by a dorp
cloth which is dyed to carry out the
general symbolism of rain. This cloth
is decorated with small gold Tings
which represent rain drops. Arched
abovo the forehead is the rainbow and
from that are zig-zags of lightning
u-hie.li enmes down across the fore
head. The dyed strips resembling
whiskers suggest rain as do the long
ear rings.
"The Corn Princess" mask is beau
tiful rather than grotesque and is n
much more elaborate piece of work
than the other. This mask covers th
entire head. The rain symbol is used
here also and blades of corn arch up
on either side of the head dress. It
is necessary to see and study theio
pieces of art in order to appreciate
them.
Mr. Benda first made these masks
to amuse and mystify his friends. He
became so fascinated with the work
that he has made a great many of

full of joy ond of sorrow.
H. Alice Howell in the role of Her
moine shows the queen iis a ( harm
ing wife and mother and her "r.dden
and unjust accusation by the king
turns her life into one of pathos and
sorrow. Miss Howe 1 gives a splen
