Why You Should Watch Football Practice Today Out on the athletic field this after; noon fifty cundidutes for the Ne braska football team ' will go through an exhausting workout, which will tax their energy and phy sical ability to its topmost degree. However, the practice and grind this afternoon will not differ from the workouts which have been held every day for the past two weeks. Every afternoon each candidate for team has come on the field at three o'clock and gone to work, not play ing around and taking It easy, but plugging and plugging hard, to mas ter tho fundamentals of the grid game in his endeavor to show the coaches that he is a better football man than tho giant next to him who is striving just a hard to show that he is the better man. What happens at six o'clock when he drags himself In from the field, bruised, dirty and exhausted? He dresses hastily, goes home and eats ! a late, and probably cold dinner, minus dessert.'

HOLMES TALKS OH "IDEAL YOUNG INT Reads Letters From Several Uni versity Women to Get Co-ed Opinion. "The Ideal Young Man" was th? subject of a sermon delivered by Rev. John Andrew Holmes at the First Congregational church, Sunday, Sep tember 24. Letters written by seven young women of the church were read. Thirty-nine qualities were demanded by in these letters. Ten of the most important are these: humor, courage. moral courage, social qualities, church attendance considerateness honor, re liability, self-confidence, athletic abil ity or at least physical fitness. It was noticeable that neither money, good looks nor sportiness were asked for by the girls. Some qualities stressed by the preacher were manli ness, Christian knightliness, and moral cleanliness. "Now I realize that a young lady may make a mistake in choosing a wing man to be her own," said Rev erend Holmes in speaking of the value of the letters, "Love gets Into tha eyes and blinds them. But when the personal equation is eliminated, th-j voune woman is an expert on this sub ject. They know with a certain verv fine Intuition what a young man ought to be like and I feel I can use their cerlous views upon question almost Note that these guis are not de ceived by chivalrous courtesy to them selves alone, but say that they want this spirit toward all need, especially toward elderly people If you rise l. crowded street car and offer your seat to a beautiful girl, who pays yiu for the sacrifice times over by flash ing a perfectly dar7ling smll3 at you, that does not prove you a gentleman- it may Indicate only that you are a flirt!

Maybe he will, but there are fifty candidates for the elevens, all working equally hard, and not more than twenty-four at the most, will be awarded "N". But before he gets his letter, if he is one of the fortunate ones, he will be called upon to put forth the best that he has in him; to make a super human effort, In four or more games.

TO TEACH THEM SONGS Recalls Time when Cows Were Free to Graze on the Green Grass of the Campus. The physical, spiritual, and intel lectual growth of the University was traced by Chancellor Avery in the first freshman lectures of the school year, Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning. The chancellor described the Uni versity as he saw it first, when he was ten years old. "U Hall" was the only building ou the campus. At this time tile inhabitants of the village of Lincoln were pasturing and lariat ing their cows on the University cam pus. "U Hall was built in 1S69. The bricks for its construction were hauled by team from l'lattsmouth. litti foundation was made of sand stone, which was not hard enough to hoar tho weight of tho building, and settled. This foundation was re moved, piece by piece, in 1877 and a solid one substituted. . The second biulding, Nebraska hall, was built in UuD. "It was ei'ccicd for the modest sum of 525,000, the contractor who bid on il being anxious to get work, since he had been out of the penitentiary only a year," remarked the Chancellor. The erection of the Chemical Lab oratory and of (it ant Memorial hall werethe next steps in the growth ol the inatitutio ! The University fell :!.ii that it no Tied a library. When tho legislature i id not appropriate enough money to construct the entire building, tile University authorities built only the north wing and left the unfinished south walU as a reminder to the legislature that more money was needed. The legislature appro priated the money. These tactics were employed by so many other in stitutions with success that the legis lature passed a law forbidding the erection of half-completed buildings. In 5 913, the Chancellor explained, the legislature made an appropriation of 3-5 of each mill in the tax levy, for the University. In developing the spiritual growth of the University, Chancellor Avery told how the state tried to avoid religious controversy by appointing regents and professors from all of the various denominations, and how this plan of a balanced religious control failed. Now the University is con ducted on a strictly non-sectarian plan. "When I came as Chancellor to the University, Chancellor Avery de clared, "there were two colleges: The college of Literature and the Arts and the ndustrial college. The sciences were included in the industrial col lege. The bitter ' feuds that existed between these two colleges were re lated by the chancellor. He told how at one time the students in the Indus trial college took pleasure in captur ing the students In the Arts and Lit erature college, and putting them in post holes. The University was reorganized by Chancellor Avery and the Arts and Science and the Engineering college were brought into existence. The agricultural and the Teachers college were the next .developments. The College of Law and the College of Medicine were next. The agricultural college developed more slowly than the others mainly because the students at first did not want to take agriculture, Chancellor Avery explained. When the study became more an exact science, more students became interested in it. The land for the Agricultural college was bought when a University was first contemplated, but the first building was not erected until 1898 In closing, Chancellor Avery spoke of some of the developments of stu dent life. He told how the Cornhus ker came into being, and how the Daily Nebraskan grew from a weekly paper to its present size. He de scribed the fraternity and "barbar ian" war of 1880 when the Greek letter societies first began to appear on the campus. "But the spirit I want you to catch is this," he concluded, "neither non fraternity or- fraternity membership count now. It's the good student that wins." Ervin A. Clarke, 20, who Is biologl cal chemist at the Kansas city gen eral hospital, is spending the week in Lincoln. He was visiting friends on the campus Tuesday. In this 600- bed hospital, Mr. Clarke has wooked on (,000 cases since January- CANDIDATES MUST FILE Presidents of the four classes for the first semester will be elected Tuesday, Octo ber 3. Applications for these positions must be turned in to the Student Activities office before five o'clock Friday, September 29.

Marquardt, Director cf pine Islands with headquarters in th Teachers Employment for the Philli- Bureau of Insular Affairs, War De partment, Washington, D. C, called at the Teachers College the past week In the interests of his department.

The Bureau for Recommenda tion of Teachers expresses its willing ness to co-operate with those inter ested in this field of actirity. Regent John R. Webster Makes Two Recommendations for Better Campus Mr. Webster sets forth as an ex ample of a model campus the medi cal college in Omaha. He says: "Two years ago, their campus was much like the one in Lincoln, covered with dandelions and minus grass in places. I spoke to the dean of the college about it, and after I demon strated to him that dandelions can bo removed, ha took .some action. The campus now is one of the neatest I have ever seen." He believes that the students in Lincoln should be equally efficient in keeping their campus up to the standard. The removal of the old iron fence only makes the fault more glaring, he believes. "Surroundings Influence the character of the stu dents. A campus not in the best of condition is like anything else that is not well done. It gives the atmos phere of disorder." To illustrate his point, he told of his two stenographers. The work of one was a piece of art, while the other nearly made him cry. Of course, he explained, the one had been with him twenty-five years and the other was new; but proper at mosphere, he believes, inspires a person to greater deeds. "I used to know fellows who wrote on their cuffs before coming to class," he said, "In order to pass ex amlnations or get good grades in a recitation. These same fellows will be cribblbng when they get out Into the world. The only difference is that It Is not called cribbing; it is cheating. Ivlnu or stealing. You may well say that Just a little crib bing won't hurt anything, but it's the Idea of the thing and the babit one acquires that are bad. If one will do a thing like that once, one will Posters Attract Much Attention Why dout you take a day off and squint" at tho posters that are hung hither and thither about the campus'.' Talk about style! Well, these pos ters are that, or they "ain't nothiu at all." The subjects are of little con.su ijuoiica, it is the maner of design that is Interesting und unique. Most ol them are perfect fashion displays, two especially, one in Social .Science i the other In the Library. 1 nu . are posters sporting little ladies clev erly drawn, all "dolled up" in silki satins and lace. Can you imagine Jial? A poster made of Bilks and satins? The artistic model is ultiu .i.o;lern. .She has on tnc latent oi .nits and is dressed In perfect ta.ste. Tho mystery Is, how is it done? Well, 'tis hard to tell, unless the artist drew her, cut her out, dressed her up, und then pasted her back in the .les;red position on the remainder of l!;e poster. - No doubt, in the future the "ladie.s of the posters" will "come out," so to speak, "sporting" patent leather boots, hast year, if you can remem ber back that far, a pair of galoshes was placed at the "foot" of the Ma ine Athenu; so you can see wh.it wonders can he accomplished. t-'oiiie "of the posters, though not as ornamental as Iho two with the dressed ladies, are vivid in color and design. They are really worth untie ing. Do you realize the amount of work, the time and trouble it takes to turn out these bits of cardbonrd? i'lio least a loyal student can do is to take a few moments off and study ;he posters their art as well as their contents. That Nebraska cliould have a better campus, and cribbing should lie done away with, arc two ideas fostered by Honorable John Kobinson Websle.', Omaha man, and member of the Board of Regents. Judging Team To Go To Illinois The Animal Husbandry Judging team which started training durf'u: state fair week will leave Saturday !or Teoria, Illinois, to enter th coi. test at the national swine show he! 1 at that place October 1, 1922. La-r. year Nebraska's team won first h ,-,-ft at that place. The ttani Is c.mii rosed of 'ive men and an alt e t r. Later in ire fall a team will he sent to Kansas City to the Herford Ticyal stock show and also to the In ternational Livestock show at Chiei go. The latter is looked upon as th" largest and best contest In the Unite 1 States. Nebraska's team is rated as one of the strongest pach year and it is hoped that this year's team will live up to the standard already set. do it again. "The only thing that decides the future Is real honest effort The grade counts, but the good of the work counts more. The principle is the important "thing. Mr. Peter Stuyvesant Fish, a good friend of mine, and president of the Illinois Central railroad, told ine these two stories: It was during a period when a lot of construction work was being done on the road, and a number of different contract ing compan'ci? were doing differen' jobs. One o the companies pleased Mr. Fish tcry much because of its prompt work- -always done at the set lime and ocne well. He ferrettcd around pelting to find the man who was responsible for these good re sults. That man was John F. Wal lace. Mr. Fish tried to get Mr. Wal lace right on the spot, but the men of the company told him that they needed him themselves. It was some few years later that Mr. Fish had an opportunity to get Wallace, who rose rapidly and soo nbecame vice president of the company. "Another time, Mr. Fish had one hundred educated college men go onto his section gang. This was dur ing the hard times of 1S93, and all the mefi had said they would do any thing that came up. Fifty of the hundred made good in that they made successes of themselves. These men had the grit and the hang-on needed for the positions which they later held." "For living, I believe that the habit of application in college or just shirting alone the path of least resistance Is the great factor In the problem of our lives."

Charles F. Adams Is managing wo subscription campaign on the campus. Orvin Caston Is editor-in-chief of me Awgwan this year. Dental School Has Larger Registration The Increased registration in the Dental school this year is due to the fact that the pre-dent class of this year is the largest ever registered ind is an Increase of 50 per cent over that of the preceding year. The senior class is also the largest la history. The freshman and sopho more classes, however, are slightly smaller than the average because of tho fact that it was during these years that the five-year ruling was put into effect The Dental technique iaboratory has also been moved t the basement of University hall. This change brings the entire college ta closer connection with the campns proper, and will, no doubt, give tM school an even greater part In life of the University.
