Fhe Daily Neb r ask an VOI, XXI. NO. LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, APRIL 28, 102 TRICK FIVE CENTS 111. L BE PLAYED TODAY Football Battle on the Nebraska Field to Close Spring Training Season KIVALRY BETWEEN TWO OPPOSING SQUADS KEEN Hartley and Preston Lead Teams in First Spring Football Game at Husker School One of the biggest events of the year will come off -this afternoon when two elevens composed of the gridstcrs of the spring training snuad. meet on the gridiron in a reg ular football game this afternoon at 3:00 sharp. 'The two teams, known as Team No. One and team N'o. Two have gone through a round of stren uous practice this week in prepara tion for the contest, and both teams are confident of victory. Everyone is invited to come out and see this world's championship battle this afternoon. t . Rivalry between the turn of the two teams has been very keen, and the athletes have been indulging in friendly bantering back and forth throughout the week. The captains of the two teams ar? Chick Hartley, captain-fleet of the 1922 Husker Eleven, Team Xo. One, and Pete Preston, varsity quarterback. Team No. Two, each declare that their re spective elevens are world-beaters, and that the other team hasn't the chance of the proverbial snowball in Hades. The spirit of rivalry has even af fected the coaches. Bill Day and Farley Young, and so both of them lias been coaching one of the two f-ams. Bill Day is coach of Team Xo. One and Farley Young is coach of Team Xo. Two. Head Coach Dawson is ringmast?r, and is charge of the big contest. Team Xo. One under the leader ship of Chick Hartley seems to have somewhat the better baekfield of the two teams. This eleven was con siderably strengthened yesterday when Lewellen and Thomsen were recruited. These additions gives Team Xo. One five strong baek field men In Hartley, Russell, It. P'witz, Thomsen, and Lewellen. Ac cording to the dope given out by the members of this team, this baekfield i a moneyback guarantee not to make less than two touchdowns. When the line is considered, Team No. Two has much the better of the argument. Wenke, Peterson, House, Korby, and Huska form the muclous of the line of Team Xo. Two. This bunch of huskies have been working well together this week, and are planning to muss up the plays of Team Xo. One with discouraging regularity. Preston's eleven will also have a strong baekfield with Preston, H. Dewltz. Schoeppel, Hoy, and Har ravs to choose from. The game will be called at three 'dock this afternoon. Everybody in the University is invited to see tliis buttle royal. Xo admission will be charged. Everyone out. CONTEST TO FURTHER PLANS FOR AUDITORIUM The need of the University for an adequate auditorium on the campus and a set of plans that will best pro vide for this need, are the objects of a contest open o tsudents, ex stu dents, and alumni of Ohio State Uni versity. The first part of the compe tition will embody arguments for the construction of a new auditorium and ideas advanced as to the construc tion of the building itself. The second part of the competition will be open to students in the de partment of architecture, for the best set of plans specifying the ''!' cf the proposed structure. Ohio State I-antf rn. SI W ENGINEER WEEK MOTION PICTURES ARE SHOWN In connection with Engineer's Week program, motion pictures films were shown by the Conservation and survey Division of the University in Room 101, Xebraska Hall, and the Motion Picture Studio. These films were concerned with imigration in Western Nebraska, trip down the Niabarara and 'Wildcat Rigge of Western Nebraska, work in Univer sity activities. One reel showing the control of the Missouri river by the means of Bignell Pile by Woods Bros., was alternated in the two places. 10 Annual Convocation of Engineer ing College Held in Temple Thursday WEEK OF ACTIVITIES IS IN FULL SWING Discussicn of Engineering Edu cation Given by Iowa State College Man Dean Anson Marston of Iowa State College delivered the annual address before the Engineers Convocation at the Temple theater at 11 o'clock this morning, giving a general discussion of engineering education. Dean Mar ston is a man of national reputation both as a practicing engineer and as an educator. He is an officer of sev eral national, sectional, and state nrofession societies and boards, and is a past president of the American society for Promotion of Engineering Education. This meeting marked the real start of the activities of Engineers Week at the University and is to be fol lowed by the annual open house this evening at which the public is in vited to inspect the work of the col lege. In addition to the regular lab oratory work many special exhibits of interesct have been arranged. A holidav Friday and a dance and bfenquet Friday and Saturday eve nings wind up the activities of the week. In his talk. Dean Marston told of the past history' of engineers and engineering from the days of the nvrarnids and dykes of Egypt, roads ol Peru, and the great wall and grand canal of China, to the present day mathematical science. In the United Statee in 1S70, there were nineteen school with SSO stu dents, the Dean said during his talk, while today there are over 50,000 students in about 150 schools. The graduate engineer is one of the picked men of the country. The iCmtinued on Page Four) SIGMA IAU GIVES.

It was but a denunstration that was given to the public on the first occa sion but it was such a success as to be the nucleus from which the full week of engineering activities lias evolved. Since the first exhibit, the public has been entertained annually by the engineering students and shown the technical material developers of the nu n who guide the forces of nature. Each succeeding year has seen an ad dition to the interest displayed for the exhibit. Tlie Engineering Society, organized in 1900, incorporated in its constitu ticn that one of its purposes was to provide, irom time to time, pleasing and instructive entertainment for the public. With this as a definite ob ject, the annual affair became more a reality. Among the other activities of this engineering society, were tlie smok ts, dances, i;nd special convocations, when noied engineers from different parts of the country were secured to address the men. These were to form a part in the combined program for a week of activities. The inaugura te n of these into a week of events under the familiar name of "Engin eers' Week" was made in the spring of 1912. This first "Engineers' Week'" had in its program a rally or convoca tion, a smoker and banquet, and the di.-play night when all the laborator ies were open to the public. Great pi.ins were taken in preparing the laboratories for public inspection, as the entertainment thus afforded had always been appealing to the people. Tlie spirit cf the week of events was carried on from 1912 to the wai period, whent ir was temporarily dis ccntinued. Again in 1918 19, a gen eral chairman, Roy Gustafson, was elected to carry on the work of di recting and supervising the week. The success of having a general chair MEET IS SUCCESSFUL Matches In 135-Pound Division to be Played Today in Uni. Armory The handicap wrestling meet, which has been going on in tlie armory fcr the past three d.iys under the direc tion of Coach Harry Troertdley, ws finished last nl'ht with tlie erefption of matches in the 135-pound division, which will be held today. The meet has been hotly contested throughout and stands out as on'- of the most successful meets of the sea son. The winners in all classes will be awarded medals, donated by Red Li.ng of the College Book Store. In the 115-pound division, R. E. Blore lest to I L. Whaley in tlie first match The second bout which was between Whaley and Probst, was won by Probst by decision and lie will be given the medal in this class. The two contestants in the 125 pound class, John Kellogg and G. YSl Pickwell staged a long and hard ought match. After two extra periods had been held Pickwell forfeited the match. The first mate In t? 145 pound class, between B. Xelson and George S. King, was won by Xf lson who pinned King with a headlock. n the second bout, D. D. Skinner won from E. V. Maun The finals between Xelson and Skinner were won by Skinner after a well-contested match. O. I. Xoithnip and C. E. Thomas contested for the medal in the 158 pound division. Xorthrup, who was given the handicap, won the title by defeating Thomas In an interesting bout. Stanton A. Troulman, captain-elect cf the Husker wrestling team, met Matteson for the championship of the light heavy weight or 175 pound class. (Continued on Page 4) i man to actually take charge of the responsibility of putting across the week of activities was clearly seen by the results secured. Last ytar, A. V. Lindgren was appointed to carry out the extenvise program. Several new features were added and incor porated in tlie week which had events for each day of that week. Remark able success was gained as shown by the setting of records lor each- dis play and event and the intense in itrt st and spirit of co-cperation from everyone in the college, students and faculty alike. The task of putting across a larger and more elaborate program of ac tivities for the week was this year put under the direction, of Randolph Gingrich, who was succeeded by Lloyd P. Sliildneck. Again several new features were addd of special merit and noie, most important being that of publicity. The present '"Engineers' Week"' program now contains a convocation, with an engineer of national promi nence giving an address, and a pres entation of a framed portrait of some successful engineer by the honorary engineering fraternity, Sigma T;.u; the open night at the engineering- lab orah.iies, which is open to the public, a full holiday in the College for an athletic field day; a dance; and con cluded by a banquet. The interest shown by every en gineer in the College and the support of the faculty members, has assured a larger and better week than ever before. The results and suggestions .:t the close of the week will be care fully noted that the succeeding en tertainments may profit and expand from them. . . Engineers' Week results in an ac tual demonstration of the capabilities of engineering both in theory and in practice; the students in study and in play, and coping with the forces cf nature and in putting these forces to work. Engineering is thus shown to be progressive and worthy of a ranking place in the list of professions. 0-ED TELEGRAPHIC TRACK MEET HAY 12 Nebraska Girls to Compete in Intersectional Contest with Other Schools The Interactional Telegraphic Track Meet for women will be two weeks from today, Friday, May 12. Xebraska women must make a good showing. Nebraska's reputation with the University of Wisconsin, the Uni versity of California, University of Arizona, Mississippi State College for Women, Florida State College for Women and the University of Indi ana, is at stake. Ruby Damme, W. A. A. sport lead er for track, urges all Xebraska girls to come out at practice, hours. Five nractices are required before the girl is eligible to enter the meet. There are girls who have been break ing records during the practice time. But there are not enough out. Every loyal Xebraska girl should feel the call to uphold her university in a national meet in which our school has been selected to represent the middle west. The events for which Xebraska has entered are: 30-yard dash, 50-yaTrt dash, 550-yard relay (ten runners), flasket ball throw (for distance). Baseball throw. Javelin, Pole Yault Running broad jump, shot put (8-lb). The meet is to be held Friday, May 12, on the respective fields of the entrants. Immediately follow ing the meet, the director Is to tele graph to California the record of each first-place, the time, distance, etc., and the name of the girl.
