A CAUTION
Last week whei the Colgate foot
ball team played in the Nebraska
stadium for the first time student
rooters made a serious error in their
over-enthusiastic support of the Husk-
ers. They began to cheer when the
eastern eleven was penalized. Prompt
action by the cheer leaders halted the
shout, but not before it was heard.
There should be no repetition of such
unsportsmanlike conduct at Lawr
ence tomorrow.

ALPHA KAPPA PSI
A district convention of Alpha Knp
ua Psi, national honorary society,
opens today. This is the second such
convention this year for Nebraska.
Just as cities benefit through securing
conventions, the University benefits
by each convention that can be
brought to the campus.
The middle west has been an un
favored location for holding of na
tional conventions. But the barrier is
falling, as more and more organiza
eions come to see the advantages of
providing a central meeting point. If
Nebraska groups offer the invitation,
Lincoln will probably be chosen for a
number of national conventions.

SAW NEBRASKA PLAY.
Football, it is rumored, is a diffi
cult game to learn. The rumor prob
ably is close to the truth. Many men
can remember that when they saw
their first game of football they
thought there was no point to it;
baseball was by far the better and
more interesting sport. But that time
is long ago for most University peo
ple. This clipping from a small
town paper which credited it to the
Norfolk Press might recall the lay
man's view of the game:
FOOTBALL, Last Saturday
I witnessed my first football
game and I think it will be the
last one, too. As a guest of the
University of Nebraska at Lin
coln the editors saw the first
game of the season, Illinois and
Nebraska. Not knowing the
game the plays didn't mean any
thing. All I could see was two
bunches of young huskies lined
up. One of them would grab the
ball and try to run away with
it but the others knocked him
down and jumped on his back,
turned him over and jumped on
his tummy and took the ball
away from him and then thirty
thousand people stood up and
yelled until they were hoarse.
At theend of the game they
were lined up for another attack
when suddenly they got up and
walked away just as if the whis
tle had blown and it was time to
quit work. All I can see to
football as a course of study at
a university is that it teaches
them how to take something
away from a man by force and
,'iiake him like it
Perhaps those of us who are at
tending the University to learn to
make a living had better drop most
of our classes and go in for football ;
it might pay in this age of competition.
Four freshmen, one sophomore and
one junior have signed up for inter
class debate try-outs to be held Octo
ber 29. The question is, "Should
State Governments make the Ku Klux
Klan Legal?"
Each speaker in the try-outs will
be allowed five minutes, except the
first speaker in each group, who will
be given four minutes for direct ad
dress and two minutes for rebuttal
after the other speeches. Each speak
er should give both direct argument
and refutation.
The debates will be held about one
month after the try-outs, the fresh
men meeting the sophomores and the
juniors debating the seniors in the
first contests. The winners will meet
later to decide the championship.
Nebraska chapter of Delta Sigma
Rho, national intercollegiate debating
society, is making all arrangements
and students wishing to try out should
see Hugh B. Cox in the office of The
Daily Nebraskan, University Hall 10.
A MYSTERY.
University rules were broken. The
offenders were discovered. The list
of offenders and the punishment al
lotted to them were made public by
the authorities. The Daily Nebras
kan, in accordance with its conserva
tive policy of non-suppression of the
news, carried the story. Then some
persons "with the best interests of
the University at heart" rose to pet
ty larceny and took from the bus
iness omce ol tbe Nebraskan a con
siderable number of papers lest they
be mailed to the lugfe schools of the
state. The University authorities re
sponsible had permitted, the distribu
tion of the issue; and then the pap
ers -were whisked away by arch-patriot.
It reminds one of tbe good
old musical comedy with Ha numer
ous plots and counterplots to mt or
overthrow tie kingdom.
Thomas Will Talk at
Davis-Bryan Luncheon
J .J. Thomas, candidate for U. S.
Senator on the Democratic ticket,
will speak at the Davis-Bryan Club
luncheon, Tuesday noon at the Grand
Hotel. Mr. Thomas is running against
Senator Norris. Ralph G. Baker urges
all those who possibly can, to attend .
this luncheon. Members of the Thorn- j
as for Senator club are especially
urged to attend.
Hanson Writes for
Ecology Magazine
Dr. Hebert C. Hanson of the ecol
ogy department has completed a
paper on the "Vegetation of North
Eastern Arizona, which is to be sent
to the leading ecological magazine,
the "British Journal of Ecology."
The paper is based on Dr. Hanson's
research in the Painted Desert last
year.

The Ini That Made
The Fountain Pen Possible"
The R. 0. T. C. unit that students
casually watch every day at the Uni
versity is the largest infantry unit in
the United States army. How many
students have realized that Major
Sidney Erickson is in command of
the moat complete infantry regiment
that carries the Stars and Stripes?
Last spring Major Erickson sent a
picture of the gold-star inspection to
Colonel Frank W. Rowell, then di
rector of infantry in the office of
the Chief of Staff. After looking at
the picture showing the field covered
with three infantry battalions, Colon
el Rowell wrote back to Major Er
ickson that with the possible excep
tion of Fort Sam Houston, the larg
est infantry unit in the army was
probably the R. 0. T. C. unit at the
University of Nebraska.
Since the end of the Great War,
Congress has cut the United States
army from its war strength of more
than four million men to its present
strength of 125.000 men. It is a
curious fact that there are z&u.uuu
policemen in this country to protect
us from one another and 125,000 sol
diers to protect us from all of the
other people in the world. Thin
enormous cut in the standing army
shattered divisions and regiments
and reduced them to such a low num
ber that the units could not function
as a battalion, regiment, or division.
In most cases, companies of about
fifty men, smaller than the compan
ies that drill on our field every day.
are used to keep the unit intact
As a result of the divisions and
subdivisions of the standing army,
Nebraska's R. O. T. C. unit may be
recognized as the largest infantry
unit in the United States army and
