Curious Answers
Given in Picture
Puzzle Contest
Have you decided what is wrong
with the picture in last Thursday's
Daily Nebraskan? Several solutions
have been given, all of which are
quite plausible.
For instance one suggests that the
second picture should have been f ivst,
the third picture second, and the first
picture last. The strange part of it
is that this solution was given by a
girl.
Then someone thinks that the girl
is leading the man which is of course
far from the proper thing to do.
One young lady had evidently had
a bad date last week end for it w?.s
her opinion that the only thing the
matter with the picture was that he
was not stepping on the gitl's toe.
Some sophisticated young man sug
gested that their faces were too far
apart. We wonder how he could gaze
so soulfully into her eyes if they were
any closer together.
The questipn is not yet decided.
Why don't you try your luck?

Contributes Critical Article to
October Number of The
Western Architect.
(University News Service.)
Dr. Hartley B. Alexander, chair
man of the department of philosophy,
contributed to the October number
of the Western Architect, Chicago,
a nationl journal of architecture and
allied arts, a critical article on Ne
braska's new state house, illustrated
by a frontispiece showing one of
the interior courtyards and a corner
of the tower, and fifteen other illus
trations and plates.
Dr. Alexander states that the
"happy confluence of an architect of
erenius and a public without the
prejudice of an architectural tradi
tion have given the state of Nebraska
promise of the most arresting, and-
its admirers believe enduringly
beautiful public building in Amer
ica:" that the combination of the
talents of Bertram G. Goodhue and
Lee Lawrie has achieved a notable
effect in the architectural decorations
of the mass.
Commenting on the work of Mr
Lawrie. the article concludes that
the new structure is sure to prove as
beautiful in adornment as it is to
be monumental in form.

Ames Is First and Tigers Sec
ond Nebraskans Upset
Dope.
By Paul Zimmerman.
LAWRENCE, Kan., Nov. 17.
(Special to the Nebraskan.) Ne
braska's cross-country team sprung
the surprise of the harrier season
here today by placing third in the
annual Missouri Valley conference
cross-country run, which was held
during the first quarter of the
Drake-Kansas football game. Ames,
who has won the meet for the past
four years, took first place, while the
Tiger harriers were second. The
time for the run was 28:05.
Individual honors went to Cyclone
runners, who captured first and se-
ond places. Zimmerman, the first
Husker to finish, took seventh place
In winning the meet, Ames made
the low score of 36 points. The Mis
souri runners, coached by Bob Simp
son, former world's champion hurd
ler, were doped to take first place,
but had to be satisfied with second
laurels.
The Scarlet and Cream hill and
dale team, in placing third, were
victors over Kansas and Oklahoma,
both of whom had defeated the Husk-
ers on the home course at Lincoln
The Nebraska team won sixth place
at the Valley run at St. Louis last
year.
The eight schools entered in the
meet were: Ames, Missouri, Nebras
ka, Kansas, Kansas Aggies, Wash
ington, Oklahoma and Drake.
Eastern Comments on Nebraska
Victory Over Irish Still Come
Every day Cornhuskers are brought
more and more to realize the true
magnitude of Nebraska's great feat
In beating the Irish from South Bend.
From far away Boston came a let
ter yesterday to the Nebraskan from
Kenneth McCandless, Nebraska alum
nus, telling how pleased Nebraskans
in Boston were, and how the victory
shocked the east. His letter and
clippings enclosed in the letter fol
low: Dear fellow Cornhusker:
How the east opened its eyes in
surprise at "the victory" is old stuff
to you now but sometimes It is sweet
to continue tasting of the well-earned
fruits so here are some random clip
pings which may furnish something
new to chew on.
The first thing Monday morning
the Monitor sports editor inquired
what kind of a team Dawson had out
there in Nebraska, anyway. He
wired for a special story to explain
how come.
Eastern critics used much type in
guessing how it all came about. Their
guesses left out the most important
element, though, for they didn't know
of the magnificent preparatory mo
rale bombardment laid down by the
Nebraskan. This, I feel sure, broke
the "Irish" line even before Lewellen
and the gang went through.
The boys around the office here
chuckled v.'hen they saw the bare
handed way the "R&g" went after
the "Irish menace" and the "con
quering Micks." Around dear old
Boston, to even breathe the word
mick" means a fight

New York World : The most amaz
ing turnover of the day was Notre
Dame's defeat by Nebraska, a fact
which should cause considerable ac
tivity at Syracuse during the next
two weeks. When the news first
came over the wires we thought it
was a practical joke by some tele
graph operator, but a special investi
gating committee has verified the re
port, and'all we can suggest now is
that some rule be made to prohibit
such outrages. Such levity and dis
regard of form must cease.
New York Times: (Under heading
"Nebraska's Victory Came as Sur
prise") : While the football interest
on Saturday was centered in the pro
ceedings in Palmer Stadium where
the Crimson tide from Harvard rolled
back the Tigers in the first of the
1923 Big Three meetings, there were
happenings on other gridirons which
attracted much attention. Foremost
among these was Nebraska's second
straight victory over a supposedly un
beatable Notre Dame eleven and the
close call which a highly-praised Yale
team received at the hands of Mary
land. In these times it is, indeed,
dangerous to laud a football team as
invincible. Notre Dame had been
called "the greatest team ever de
veloped anywhere" by some of the
leading football experts and coaches
in the country. Beating the Arrrfy,
Princeton, Georgia Tech on throe
successive Saturdays is a feat worthy
of high praise, but Fred Dawson, a
former Princeton star and a former
Columbia coach, produced a Nebraska
eleven which erded the reign of ter
ror that the South Bend team had
spread through the country, east.

AMES, la., Nov. 17. (Special to
the Nebraskan.) By a 26 to 14
score Nebraska's fighting Cornhusk
ers subdued the Ames Cyclones here
today in a stubbornly fought con
test, featured by the comeback of
the Farmers in the final period when,
with the score 26 to 0 against them,
the Aggies rallied and scored two
touchdowns against the conquerors
of Notre Dame.
The forward passing of the Iowa
team was spectacular, and was re
sponsible for both the Farmer touch
downs. Substitutions and injuries
on both teams slowed the game up
somewhat in the last half. Captain
Lewellen and Dewitz brothers starred
for Nebraska, while Roberts and J.
Behm were the most important fac
tors in the Cycline attack.
Captain Lewellen won the toss and
chose to defend the south goal. Rob
erts of Ames kicked off and made a
short kick of thirteen yards which
was recovered by Ames on Nebras
ka's 47 yard line. Ames then opened
the game with a threatening forward
passing game only to be held by Ne
braska on her own 11 yard line. Lew-
ellen's toe put the Nebraska goal out
of danger, and the ball see-sawed the
remainder of the period. Nebraska '
was on the defensive for most of the
first quarter.
Locke was injured in the first few
minutes of play, but remained in the
game. Hartman went in for him
in the first quarter.
Nebraska Takes Offensive.
In the second period Nebraska
sliced Ames' defense, and took the
offensiv. The Dewitz brothers and
Hartman worked the ball to Ames
20 yard line by successive line
plunges, and on the next play Rob
ertson ran across the goal line for a
touchdown. The next touchdown
was scored shortly after by line
plunges and end runs, with Herb
Dewitz taking the ball over
Lewellen kicked off, and it was
Ames' ball on Ames' 23 yard line. A
penalty put the ball back to mes'
10 yard line where Young tried a
forward pass that was intercepted by
Ruus Dewitz who ran for another
touchdown. The half ended with the
score, Nebraska 20, Ames 0.

JAMES NINE SUPERIOR
CHEMISTRY STUDENTS
Professor Thompson Also Lists
Nine Who Are Doing
"Very Good" Work
"I am a firm believer in athletics
and I admire the spirit that is shown
in them, but I believe that such spirit
should, aryl can, be shown in the
classroom. It is for this reason that
I am starting to name the superior
students in my Chemistry 31 class
and to give them special instrur-tion
and laboratory work," said Prof. T.
J. Thompson of the chemistry depart
ment last Friday afternoon.
Professor Thompson has taught
chemistry for many years and has
had ten classes in Chemistry 31 in
this University, but he says that this
year his class shows the best spirit of
any that he has had yet. Of these
190 students he has picked nine who
are doing superior ' work and nine
others who are doing very good work.
The following are those who have
done superior work so far this year:
George Beadle, Clarence Elliot, Lu-
cile John, Robert Moore, Robert
Svanda, Peray Tollman, Walter Tol
man, Gladys Trullinger, Albert Wolf.
The following have done very good
wnrk : Betty Bosserman, Leona Davis,
