SIDELIGHTS GIVEN
ON JAYHAWK GAME
With the Missouri Tiger contest at
Columbia Saturday in mind, Fred
Dawson, head football coach, sent his
woteees through a strenuous work
Jut yesterday, including heavy scrim
mage wit the yearlings and some
drilling on fundamentals and plays.
The Husker mentor Is resolved to
eliminate the weaknesses shown by
the Scarlet and Cream eleven in the
Kansas game, and the staff is devot
ing every effort to strengthen the
Huske machine before it leaves for
the Tiger contest Saturday.
Now that the Kansas-Nebraska
game is about three days old, al
most all the various post-mortems
and "replaying" of the game have
gone the rounds. The outstanding
feature of these post-mortems is the
claim that the tie was the same as a
victory for the Jayhawkers.
A close alanysis of the cold facts
of the game, however, show this
claim to be absolutely unwarranted,
for the southerners were outclassed
and outplayed throughout the entire
contest. The only victory that the
Kansas team can claim is in the
"Lady Luck" column, for, while ap
- parently the actual breaks of the
game were about even, the facts
show that the Huskers made fifteen
first downs to 2 by the Kansans, and
255 yards from scrimmage to forty
four by the Jayhawks, a comparison
which cannot help but indicate that
Jayhawk "horse-shoes and rabbit's
feet" had a lot to do with the final
tie score.
This story is not, however, an at
tempt to belittle the playing of the
Kansas team Saturday. The Jay
hawkers, outweighed and outclassed,
put up a game fight such as is not
often seen on the grid field. When
on two occasions, with their backs
to the wall, they held the powerful
Husker steamroller within the ten
yard mark, even the most paAisan
of Husker supporters displayed ad
miration for the j'ayhawker "bull
dog" defense.
On the other hand, the playing of
the Husker eleven, while rather con
sistent and at times brilliant, was
disappointing in several ways. The
Nebraska inexperienced line, which
played invincible football on defense,
has not yet learned to open holes in
the fashion of the Husker teams of
1921 and 1022.
Again, the offense of the Scarlet
and Cream backfield, while pleasing
and spectacular troughout most of
the game, seemed to crumble and
weaken whenever the Huskers came
within striking distance of the Jay
hawk goal line. The playing of the
Nebraska team as a whole, however,
showed a great improvement over the
Playing against the Sooner team the
week before, and everything points
towards an even faster and greater
improvement in the Huskr machine in
the next few weeks.

Charles Ray Shys
Paid Him
What University man could per
suade several scores of co-eds to skip
1 o'clocks just to see him step from
train to a taxicab? Charles Ray
did that very thing without even try
ing, Monday afternoon at 1 :40.
Ray himself was nine-tenths of the
attraction; the remainder embodied
'tself in the fact that the best snap
shot of the movie idol would win ten
dollars for the amateur photographer.
The girls began to gather at the
Burlington station about 1:10 p. m.
Coats, blouses, and swagger-jackets
displayed bulges that could easily
fcave been caused by kodaks, for in
tance. The Denver train, which bore
the actor and his company, was due
at 1:20, but arrived twenty minutes
late.
Mr. Ray appeared first when he
topped from the vestibule of one
coach to another adjoining, possibly
?T the benefit of twenty persons or
thereabout who were squeezed on
the obsrvation platform of the Kan-
train on the next track. Their
UNIVERSITY OF
Y.W.C.A. Rummage
Sale Well Patronized
Over 150 people patronized the
Y.W.C.A. rummage sale on 0 street
on the opening day. Warm, practi
cal clothes for winter were collected
last week by the conference commit
tee under the dirction of Lila Wy
man. Girls are needed to help sell and
should leave their names with Miss
Appleby in Ellen Smith hall with the
hours they could work. One hour
between classes given to help the
committee would be a big boost to
ward the success of the sale.
SCABBARD AND BLADE
SMOKER THURSDAY
To Get Cadet Officers Better
Acquainted Is Purpose of
the Affair.
A smoker is being planned by the
Nebraska chapter of the Scabbard
and Blade, national honorary fratern
ity for Thursday night at the Temple.
The time has been set for 7:30
All advance course students will at
tend the affair.
The purpose of the smoker is to
get the cadet officers acquainted and
to get a more united spirit among
all of the members. It will also af
ford the members a good chance to
look over te prospective new mem
bers.
There will be several kinds of
musje. A quartet will sing and other
mustic will be furnished. There will
also be two or three speeches by
well known men.

1 o'clock this afternoon in Ellen
Smith hall. The sale will continue
until Wednesday night, and every
girl who expects to go to the picnic
must have a ticket.
T?,-,-rin-r onnniiTippments will be

Some bie sisters still have not been
Mo to eet in touch wit their little
sisters on account of changed ad

who has been assigned little sisters,
and every freshman girl in school is
urged to attend the picnic.
Varsity Squad to

Special arrangements have been
made for a big time. It will be
called Cornhusker Night and the local
men will attempt to show their ap

disappointment at the brevity of the
fircf attraction voiced itself in the
following declamation from a fat
man with a fat voice:
n.v. nohtuh! Tell Charlie to step
out and let people lock at him. The
crowd's all here!"
Mr Ray, despite his success in
acting', appears- before a crowd as
furiously embarrassed as tne iour-teen-year-old
boy whom he portrays
in so many of his productions. He
doesn't look much older in other
ways, either, although chronology has
his age as unquestionably approach
ing the third decade.
The famous, pensively twitching
smile of the star will be very much
in evidence in the best of the many
snap-shots which were obtained Mon
day afternoon. If a picture could be
obtained which portrayed the Re
lieved attitude of Mr. Ray when he
finally escaped from his fair wor
shippers and rode away, the question
of the ten dollar prize would be set
tled right there.
NEBRASKA, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1923.
Stadium Pledges Must Be Paid
To Reduce
Castles can be built on air. but it
takes real money to build a stdiuiri.
Nebraska's memorial Stadium is
"a stadium;" it is not a castle. It
is taking real money to build it. It
has taken real money to bring it to
the point of completion as it was
dedicated last Saturday. It will take
more money, thousands of dollars
more to finish it, as the orginial ar
chitect s drawing specified.
When the Nebraska Memorial As
sociation let te contract for the
building of the Nebraska Memorial
Stadium, it contracted only for so
much of the structure as the money
then available warranted. It used
some $350,000 in pledges as secur
ity for a loan of $300,000 m order
that the maximum seating capacity
might be available for tis season.
To secure this $300,000 ' took
money. Every day that loan is out
standing, the memorial association
must pay a good mrny dollars in in
terest. Every cent which the asso
ciation holds in pledges means an
equivalent amount must be borrowed
and interest paid on that borrowed
money.
You Can Help.
Every "Stadium Builder" can
help toward the ultimate completion
of their stadium by paying their
SECOND DAD'S DAY
SET FOR NOVEMBER 10
Special Section Reserved for
Sons and Fathers at
Notre Dame Game.
November 10 is Dad's Day.
When the Cornhuskers line up
against Notre Dame, Nebraska dads
and Nebraska sons will cheer the
team from the stands of the new
Stadium.
A special section will be reserved
to seat the sons and fathers who at
tend the game together.
A banquet will be given after the
game and will be attended by fathers
and their sons.
The Vikings are in charge oi the
program and will make all the neces
sary arrangements.
Dad's Day this year is the second
annual reunion of students and their
fathers.
'Dad's Day was a big success last
year, and no doubt this year's event
will eclipse its predecessor in every
way," said a member of the commit
tee in charge yesterday.

pedges now. Every cent that the
memorial association can collect
means that many fewer outstanding
pledges, that many fewer dollars to
borrow and pay interest on.
The stadium needs money. It is
now payinb interest on the pledges
of some forty-five hundred students,
it is paying interest on nearly
$100,000 in student pledges. . That
means that every month $500 at
least eoes to the holders of stadium
bonds rather than into a more nearly
completed stadium. And that is
on student pledges only. In addition
there are more than $200,000 in
pledges of alumni and friends of the
University. That means that every
month the memorial association pays
$1,500 in interest, every week it pays
nearly $400 in interest, every day
it pay $50 in interest. And $50 is
enough to build five seats in the new
stadium. It would take the inter
est of but two thousand days, of but
sixty-five weeks to raise enough
money to complete the oval ends.
And that does not take into account
compound interest.
Students Lose.
Every time the memorial associa
tion pays out a dollar in interest, the

Ivey Gives Lecture
Under Great Strain
The following extract concerning
Professor Ivey, who has been profes
sor of marketing for the past three
years and who is now on leave of
absence, was clipped from the Des
Moines Capital of October 11:
"Professor Paul W. Ivey of the
University of Nebraska kept up a
rapid fire line of jokes as he ridi
culed negative salesmanship at the
meetinjr of the National Association
of Stationers and Manufacturers
Wednesday. But he could not laugh
at his own jokes.
"His thoughts were on the tragic
message of his mother's death he had
received by telegram just before he
went on the platform. His hearers
were unaware by the strain under
which he was laboring until President
Mitchell announced the news at the
close of his lecture."
Helen I. Redford, resident phar
macist. has secured leave of absence
for a year to carry on her studies at
Chicago for a higher degree. Miss
Leona Crawford, will have charge of
the pharmacy dispensary during Miss
Redford's absence.

Peru Students Hold
ft Banquet Tonight
A Peru students' . banquet, to
which all former Peru students who
are attendine the University are in
vited, will be held at the Lincoln
hotel at 6 o'clock this evening;
The object of the meeting is to
discuss plans for the founding of a
permanent Peru club at the Univer
sity. Although a goodly number of
Peru students have already signified
their intentions of attending the din
ner, there are still a few plates left,
and any Peru student who would like
to attend, should notify Delia Wath-
erhogg at phone M1213 sometime
early today.
Florence Wittwer, Delia Wather-
hogg, and Katurah Lowe make up the
committee in charge of the affair.
HOLD CANDLE-LIGHTING
SERVICE AT VESPERS
Miss Erma Appleby to Speak
to Y. W. C. A. Girls This
Afternoon.
The candle-lighting service of the
Y. W. C. A., at which new members
formally take the pledge of ihe as
sociation and old members 'restate
their purpose, will occupy the vesper
hour from 5 to 6 o'clock at Ellen
Smith hall this afternoon. Approxi
mately 300 new members are ex
pected to participate in the cere
mony. Miss Erma Appleby, secretary of
the University Y. W. C. A., will
speak to the girls on "Following Jesus
Christ." Special music by the ves
per choir, devotions, and the light
ing of the candles will complete the
service.
A small white candle, signifying
individual membership and obliga
tion, will be lighted by each girl
Large candles, representing the. Y.
W. C. A., will be held by Grace
Spacht, president, and Ruth Small,
vice president and chairman of the
membership committee.
The formal membership campaign
of past years was abandoned this fall
and an effort was made to invite
every girl to become a member. The
purpose of the quieter method of in
vitation is to encourage girls to sign
the pledge with greater seriousness
and sincerity.
Freshman girls have assisted the
membership committee in reaching
new girls, but many have not yet
been invited to join. Membership
cards are available at Ellen Smith
hall and any girl interested in becom
ing a member is urged to call at Miss
Appleby's office.
. Other candle-lighting services will
probably be held during the year ac
cording to temporary plans.
Alumni Mixer Ends
Homecoming Program
In the College World
An all-University party, which
closed the annual homecoming day
and stadium dedication service, was
attended by a large crowd of stu

Armory Saturday night. This was
the second dance of the year given
under the direction of the all-University
party committee.
Dean I. S. Cutter
Medical
Medical science made great prog
ress during the World War but has
done little of value since, and the
purpose of the International Medical
Congress to be held in London No
vember 12, 13 and 14 is to find
further means for advancement in
this field of work, declared Dean
Irving S. Cutter of the University of
Nebraska College of Medicine, to a
reporter of the Daily Nebraskan, in
discussing his proposed trip to Lon
don. The findings of this meeting will
undoubtedly be of great value to
American schools, although at this
time it is impossible to say what new
ideas may be broueht back. During
the past few years there have been
some changes in English and other
European schools, looking toward the
adoption of the American system of
college instruction in medicine, he
continued.

are to be military in character and
will be collected from all over the
state.
"No reasonable expense will be
spared to make the ball attractive
and entertaining," said Robert F.
Craig, cadet colonel.
The military ball is one of the old
est traditions on the campus and in
pre-war days it was an . annual oc
curence. It was given for the first
time last year since before the war
and it is the largest of the three
proms held during the year, as all
students may attend the ball. It is
the first formal of the season and is
given under the auspices of the cadet
officers' association.
The committee in charge of decor
ating for the ball follows: Major
Turner, chairman; Major Miller, Cap
tains Mulligan, Learning, Woodard,
DeFore and Rathsack. Lieutenants

from the United States. France,
Switzerland, Italy and possibly from
some South American countries.
While in London Dean Cutter will
visit a number of hospitals to study
the relationship between the clinical
pathological laboratory and the hos

of December. He will .ot visit any
other foreign country.
Dean Cutter came to Lincoln Mon
