prize among the fraternities in the
annuiil Homecoming decoration of
fraternity and sorority houses, and
' the ripht to be -the first organization
to have its name engraved on the
new cup donated by the Fenton B.
Fleming jewelry company.
"Help us pluck the Jayhawk's fea

decorations that won first place
among the sororities, and the silver
loving cup also donated by Fleming.
A fuzzy Jayhawk suspended in the
middle with the sign "Help us pluck
the Jayhawk's feathers" was, the cen
ter of the decoration. Above it was a
large "Welcome Grads" sign. On
ither side were large N letters with
long streamers extending from the
top to the ground.
There were so many good decor
ations this year that the judges were
hard put selecting the honorable
mention displays. Four fraternities
Phi Kappa, Phi Kappi Psi, Mu Sig
ma, and Sigma Alpha Epsilon were
awarded honorable mention grading.
Three sororities, Alpha Chi Omego,
Theta Phi Alpha and Alpha Omicron
Pi were given honorable mention.
The Alpha Chi Omega, first honor
able mention motif was an apt ac
companiment to the prize winner's
"Help ns pluck the Jayhawk" scheme
and showed a Cornhusker chasing a
Jayhawk from which all the feathers
had been plucked.
The Homecoming sentiments were
predominant in the Theta Phi Alpha
decoration, which centered about a
red brick hearth with the motto above
"Back to Our Hearth. A large let
ter N formed the Alpha Omicron Pi
decoration. i
The competition for first honor
able mention among fraternities was
so close that the judges decided to
rate them all practically on par.
Phi Kappa had a large letter N in red
"-ith an electric N above that, and
the University seal on either side of
a welcome sign. Phi Kappa Psi had
an elaborate scheme with an electric
"Welcome" sign in the middle, and a
numher of tombstones on the side
signifying the games won and to be
won by Nebraska. Kansas was des
'cribed as dying from Nebraskaitis.
Mu Sipma fraternity had a changing
red and white system of allumination
playing on a huge leter N. Sigma
Alpha Epsilon had Jayhawk behind
bars on top of a rock arch, with a
great ear of corn on top of the whole.

The basis of judging the displays
was 50 per cent on artistic appear

Chancellor Welcomes Discussion
On Future of
In a letter to the Daily Nebraskan
Chancellor Samuel Avery invites
commont on disposition of old Uni
versity Hall or the erection of a me
morial to it. Because of the senti
ment attached to the building, the
first on the campus, graduates will
be particularly interested in offer
ing suggestions, he thinks.
His leter follows:
"University officials welcome the
discusions as to what should be done
with historic buildings, and appreci
ate the tone and temper of your re
cent editorial. However, it contains
one important error which should be
corrected. The writer has confused
old Nebraska Hall with the old U
Hall. Profesors Besey and Brace did
not work in U Hall. Their work
was in Nebraska Hall. Many dis
tinguished profesors, however, such
as Dean Edgren and others, labored
in U Hall; and the building has been
the center of student activities, pub
lications, etc., from the beginnin of
the University. It is rich in historic
sentiment, but unfitted for practical
use.

the United States which is located in
University quarters and co-operating
with the University. All weather
bureaus, and there are over two hun

Will
Be Considered Pro and Con
In Near Future
Prof. Paul II. Grummann, direc
tor of the school of fine a - . will
address the World Forum 'ednes
day on "Impressions of European
Art." The committee in charge of
the World Forum discussions am
nounces that there will be a discus
sion on the athletic question in the
near future.
Professor Grummann visited Eur
ope last year spending a large
amount of his time in the art mu
seums and galleries of the Euro
pean capitals. Several of the most
famous galleries in each Paris, Lon
don, and Berlin were visited as well
as those in other cities on the con
tinent.
In discussing the athletic situa
tion, the committee announces that
speakers will present the arguments
for and against the athletic .situa
tion as it is found in large univer
sities of the present with the idea
of contrasting the situation with that
in foreign universities.
Over two-hundred and thirty stu
dents attended the meeting last week
at which Kirby Page spoke. The
question of world peace and the re
cent Locarno agreement was discus

HUSKERS DEFEAT KANSAS
IN HOMECOMING CONTEST

GLEN PRESNELL SHOWS UP
Sophomore Back Plunges and Runs in Emulation of Choppy
Rhodes; Kansas Gridsters Provide Plenty of
Of Opposition to Nebraska Outfit
The Nebraska Cornhuskers turned in their twenty-first
football victory over Kansas yesterday afternoon, 14-0, and
alonp; with the victory came the appearance of a new star in
the Nebraska camp. He is Glen Presnell, DeWitt halfback
playing with Nebraska as a sophomore, and he plunged his
way to recognition yesterday emulating the veteran Choppy
Rhodes. It was the annual Homecoming game and was wit
nessed by about sixteen thousand fans who braved the rain
and cold to see the battle in the stadium.
The Jayhawks provided more opposition than they were
given credit for in pre-game dope. They held the Huskers
scoreless until the closing minutes of the third quarter, and
put up such stiff opposition that Nebraska failed to score twice
when they were within seven yards of the goal-line.

Article by Brownell
Urges Science Training
Prof. Herbert Brownell of the de
partment of secondary education is
the contributor of an article entitled
"Some Aspects of Physics Teaching"
in the current issue of school of
science and mathematics, the no
tional publication of the association
of science and mathematics teach
ers. The article is based on the
results of a study made at the Uni
versity last year by Miss ' Agnes
Undeland found that forty per cent
of the classes in science in Nebraska
high schools are taught by teachers
who have not had eight credit hours
of University preparation in that
subject She also found that the
average high school science teacher
is required to teach at least three
different science subjects. In his
article Professor Brownell discusses
these problems and urges that teach
ers be prepared to meet such conditions.
AS NEW BACKFIELD STAR
Nansas Opposition Stiff
The Kansas line was torn open
time after time by the Nebraska
backs, and the game was played al
most entirely in Kansas territory.
But with Nebraska touchdowns only
seven yards away, the Kansas team
twice tightened up and prevented a
score.
The first touchdown came near
the close of the third quarter. Start
ing from the 44-yard line, the Husk
ers plunged straight down the field,
using straight football, for a touch
down. First Rhodes made five yards
then Presnell plunged for four; Pres
nell made it first down with another
plunge and on the next play broke
away for eleven yards. Rhodes went
off tackle for fifteen yards. A mo
ment later Rhodes hit the same hole
for a ten-yard gain, placing the ball
on Kansas' six yard line. Presnell
and Rhodes together pushed the ball
over for the score, and Brown drop
kicked the extra point.
The second, and last, touchdown
came as the result of another sopho
more's flashy play. Jug Brown,
who has already made himself a per
manent berth on the first squad, ran
back a punt for the counter. The
Huskers had run the ball to Kansas'
five yard line but had failed to score.
With his back to the goal-posts, An
derson punted forty yards to Brown,
and the former Lincoln high school
star ran forty-five yards in a beau
tiful exhibition of open-field run
ning. He had good interference and
crossed the line with no opposition.
Huskers Kept From Scoring
The invaders played sound foot
ball, but they lacked the strength to
beat Nebraska. The Huskers, in
their turn, did not show tHe, goods in
the first half at all. They haa plen
ty of power in the middle of the feild
but when they were within walking
distance of the goal line, they lack
ed the punch to push it across.
Baker, a flashy Kansas end, played
the individual star for the Jayhawks.
He broke through constantly to wor
ry the Nebraska backs, and was an
important factor in both the defense
and the offence. Schmidt, Kansas
will be in the Husker lineup for two
hawks were backed into their own
territory most of the time and did
not flash any aerial stuf. In the last
quarter, however, the invaders com
pleted several passes for long gains
which put them temporarily out of
danger. "
The Play-By-Play Report v.
First Quarter
Captain Smith of Kansas won the
toss and chose to defend the north
goal. Captain Ed Weir kicked off,
but the ball rolled dead on the fifty
yard line and was brought back for
another try. Ed Weir kicked off to
Kansas' ten yard line and Anderson
returned fifteen yards.
Weiiman punted forty yards to
Brown who returned seven yards. A
pass by Presnell was incomplete.
Presnell made five yards off left tac
kle. Presnell made three yards
through the same hole. Ed Weir
punted thirty yards to Anderson, who
returned five yards, Stiner making
the tackle. Schmidt failed to gain
