Nebraska's prospects for a chnm

Jre exceedingly bright. There are
about fifty men on the mat 8quad

and negotiations for several others
are under way. The first meet will
be held January 21, with Northwe-t-ern
there.
Dr. Clapp, the coach of the wrest
ling team, Is being aided in this
work by Assistant Coach Harry
Troendloy and Glen Ruby, a letter
man in '09, '10 and fll, and a western
Intercollegiate champion.
Competition Keen.
The wrestling squad, numbering
fifty men, is the largest squad of
prapplers seen at the Husker institu
tion in a number of years. Several
letter men are numbered among the
candidates for the mat team. The
team Is captained by Floyd Reed, a
wrestler of exceptional ability. Cap
tain Reed is very optomlstic over the
outlook for the season, 'due to the
large number of able grapplers who
are fighting for berths on the team.
In the 115 pound, or featherweight
class, Bengston Is having everything
his own way. In this class, there
are no other aspirants for the team,
but Bengston is a letter man, and is
showing superior skill that merits
him a berth on the team.
In the 125 pound, or extra-light;
weight class, there is a quartet of
speedy mat artists etrlving for a
berth on the team. Reichenbaeh, Do
Ford, Pickwell and Deal are all put
ting up a hard fight in this class.
These prnpplors have shown almost
equal ability and the coaches are ex
pected to have a hard time selecting
the representative of this class.
In the 135 pound, or lightweight
division, there Is a wealth of ma
terial. Isaacson, Ross, J. Tickwell.
Crabtree, and Corlett are competing
for a place on the team In the light
weteht division. Of this sextex of
grapplers, Isaacson is performing iu
the most promising style at present,
but this contest is still far from sot
tied. George Salter and Votopka,
both letter men two years ago, are
in school, and are being pressed to
join the squad of the lightweights.

Weather Man Leaves Roads In Fit H
Condition For Sleigh Ride Parties
Before Those First Semester Exams
Old Man Weathe, taking heed to the
many pleas and expressed wishes of
University students, has, plnce sifting
out a quilt of snow throughout the
Hate of Nebraska, left roads around
Lincoln in fine condition for sleigh
ride parties. Calling oft Old Man Sol
for a few days vacation, he has al
lowed the snow to harden into an icy,
smooth surface, perfect for the glid
ing runners of the bob sled.
For several years. Old Man Weath
er has neglected to provide a period
during which time the weather condi
tions following a snow fall have re
mained such that sleigh ride parties
could ever be planned. And Jf he did
show signs of providing such, he al
ways spoiled it by letting Old Man Sol
interfere.
Last Wednesday, however, the old
nian finally made up his mind that he
had been fooling around entirely long
enough. So, forthwith, be sent down
upon an unsuspecting people a volley
of snow flakes which covered the en
tire state.
And, better still, ever since he
Placed that quilt of white upon the
earth, he has called Old Man Sol from
the scene and left the enow undis
turbed. Three days has sufficed to put
the flakes into a hard compact sur
face on all of the roads over which
bob sleds go with. ease.
Not Common In Lincoln.
Sleigh ride parties are not common
forms of amusement for University
groups. This is brought about mostly
through the lack of enow and proper
leather conditions in Lincoln. This
year, however, everything seems to

F. GEO. FOSTER
'Contempt Proceedings" is Sub
ject of Friday Morning
Lecture.
Professor George N. Foster loc
turod the assembled laws on "Con
tempt Proceedings" Friday morning.
Ho outlined the need of respect for
courts and the means of upholding
such respect when it began to lag.
Several interesting cases on the sub
ject were reviewed.
In order that the law may func
tion properly it must be held in high
esteem. Courts used to command re
spect by dress and surroundings. The
judges wore wigs of grey hair and
sat cn highh backed chairs behind
impressive looking benches. In the
United States today very little at
tention is paid to such methods. If
the judge is a wise, upright, and
just man he will, without any em
boll ishments command respect.
Some jurisdictions designate by
statute just what shall or shall not
be contempt. Others hold that the
courts have inherent powers to de
termine as well as punish this of
fense. However most cases will
come under, first: Interfering, or
attempting to interfer with the ad
ministration of the courts. Second:
Attempting to bring judges or courts
into disrepute. Three: Violations of
court orders. Tliese offenses against
the dignity of the court may be en
acted -by any person or persons un
der its jurisdiction; the entir e gen
eral public might possibly be in con
tempt. Lawyers may be defendants
in contempt proceedings for things
said during a triral, or for allega
tions concerning the court. News
papers may make themselves liable
to the same charge by publishing
something during a trial which would
tend to intimidate the jury or, court.
Professor Foster held close inter
est by relating several cases which
have come up and have been dis
posed of by the various tribunals. He
was in the middle of one of these
stories when the finishing bell rang,
but completed it after a spontaneous
and unanimous request by acclama
tion on the part of the students.

The Reason Why Folks
At Home Were Proud
"Believe me, that boy is a wonder," chuckled the proud father as
. he read of the popularity of his son and saw pictures of him in action
with the Nebraska football team.
Turning to the sweet faced motherly woman, who was looking
with pride over ,his shoulder at the picture of her boy, he said
"Pshaw ithese young people don't appreciate what a book like this
means now, but later on in life they will be more than glad to have
a reminder of their college days."
All over the country during the summer months, In large cities
j-r.d small towns, in villages and on the farm, proud parents will be
looking over the pages of college annuals, as in these books they will
find the only real visualization of the college activities of their sons
and daughters.
Do you realize that your l'Cornhusker" is the only real perman
ent record of your school years? Years later you will prize it be
cause it will revive memories that are dear to you years of advent
ure, days of struggle, days of happiness, and all the things that one
goes throught during the four eventful years of college life.
A noted educator says, "Four years of college life are in reality
dream years, they are the best days of one's life, the bitter struggla
in the competitive world comes before one realizes it. The friends
that one makes during these college days scatter to the four winds,
tacit to play a prominent part in the grand scheme of things."
What this educator has to say is absolutely true. The stately col
lege halls, the beautiful campus, the athletic fields with their crowds
of hurrying, enthusiastic students, the gay sorority and fraternity
houses, all fade away in years to come just like a mirage in the
desert. Only one thing remains, that is your "Cornhusker."
Your 1922 "Cornhusker" will be a year book that will be radical
ly different. New and attractive features have been prepared that will
make your eyes open wide in amazement. The art work will be a
most eloquent flight beyond what has appeared in' the past in the
Cornhusker, the scene section will be a rare treat, as the new method
of photography will make the school views look like impressionistic
paintings.
iFirst Come, First Served. Do not delay ordering on the days the
book is to be on sale. It is going to be a case of first come first
served.

The letter received by Chancellor

"As chairman of th& educational

Huskers Could Defeat Either
California Or W. And J. Says
Nebraskan Who Witnessed Game
The following account of the California-Washington
and Jefferson foot
ball game at Pasadena, California on
January 2 was written for the Daily
Nebraskan by Orvin rv Gaston, man
aging editor, who witnessed the great
gridiron classic.
The Nebraska Cornhuskers could
have beaten either California or Wash
ington and Jefferson last Monday by
at least two touchdowns. Neither team
presented the powerful offense or stub
born defense that is characteristic of
Dawson's machine.
That, the easterners were superior
to tho Pacific coast champs in every
department of the game, with a possi
ble exception of kicking, there is no
doubt. In fact, It was only the excep
tional punting of Nesbit, California's
fullback, that saved the blue and gold
a defeat W. and J. earned a victory
but through breaks in the game was
forced to accept a scoreless tie. They
outplayed the "wonder team" every
minute of the game.
They call it a "wonder team" be
cause they are still wondering what
-struck them.
California could have won the game.
Twice, by means of fluke plays, they
got the ball on the President's twenty
yard line. A little drop kick would
have clinched the victory. The head
work displayed by Andy Smith's elev
en was pitiful. The Californians per
sisted in bucking the W. and J. line
when they knew they could not fae
it. They were in an excellent position
to try a field goal. Trying to carry
the ball was .futile. As a last resort
they attempted a forlorn forward pass
which was completed, then fumbled,
and nearly resulted In a touchdown
for the Proxies.
Keale's team was wise. Captain

Defeat Before Husker

CAPT. SMITH STARS FOR
CORNHUSKER CAGE TEAM
Speedy Forward Leads Scarlet
And Cream To 31-23
Victory.
Outplaying the Pikers throughout
the game, Nebraska's basket tossrs
defeated the Washington crew, 31 to
23 In the first conference game of
the season. The game was warmly
contested throughout, but was marred
by continual fouling. Captain Smith
with 11 points and Russell with 10,
Eiarnul for the Cornhuskers, while
lhomsen did the heavy work for the
Pikers, making 15 points.
The game started slow, neither team
scoring in the first few minutes of
play. Both teams were weak on team
work and fouls were numerous thru
out the first half. After some fast
piay, centering around Russell, the
Nebraska crew got into action and
Smith scored a goal. During the re
mainder of the first half, the Scarlet
and Cream cake artists annexed four
more field goals. The Husker team
was continually called for fouling in
the first half making a total of ten
fouls.
The close guarding of the Huskers
was a feature of the first half of the
game, the Pikers being held to one
field goal by Bristol. The floor work
of Russell was especially noticeable.
Thomsen of the Pikers shot eight
out of ten free trys, counted eight
points, while Smith of the Huskera
counted two points by this method.
The Huskers made five goals dur
ing the first half, one of which was
a long shot of the sensational varie
ty by Smith. The half ended with
the Huskers leading by the narrow
margin of two points, the score be
ing 12 to 10.
The opening of the second half was
a signal for the Nebraska team to
grt going. Smith started the. fireworks
with two field" goals, but soon retired
from the game after committing four
personal fouls. Carman substituted
for Smith. Then Russell started drop
ping the leather through the hoop.
His playing and goal shooting during
the second half was exceptionally
good as he succeeded in tossing four
field goals'.
The guarding of the Huskers during
the second half was looset the Pikers
making four field goals. Carman, who
has been on the hospital list because
of injuries, succeeded in tossing one
field goal soon after he substituted
! (Continued on Page Two.)
Stein realized that the muddy field
and slippery ball were treacherous
and whenever his team got within
scoring distance he wasted no time
but got down to business and kicked.
Me tried two place kicks. Both failed
but were noble attempts and showed
excellent judgment.
"Brick" Muller, Califoria's ail-American
end, appeared to be a huge, red
headed joke. He didn't even look good.
As soon as he entered the game he
tried to make one of those famous
eighty-yard passes. There were eleven
W. and J. men on the Held and
twelve of them got Muller. They had
his number He was clipped down in
every play, some times twice in the
same play.
Nesbit starred for the Boars. He
booted the muddy pigskin just like
Vera Lewellen did against Oklahoma
no farther, scarcely as far or as
accurate. But it was his kicking, and
that alone that prevented an eastern
triumph.
After the game the two teams flip
ped the ball and California won. They
took the ball back to Berkeley. They
did this knowing that they had been
outplayed, outfought, and out gener
aled. They were not even good enough
sportsmen to present the ball to the
Pennsylvania visitors, who surely de
served it.
Eastern and middle western teams
will no longer fear the California
Bears. Everybody is wise to them
now. There will be a mad scramble
to, play them in Pasadena next year.
No team will hold out Everybody
knows' that Washington and Jefferson
did not have the strongest team east
r.f the Rockies. When the PresidenUi
outplayed them so obviously, what
could Nebraska, Iowa or Notre Dame
have done.
