HDSKERS END SUCCESSFUL GRID SEASON Brilliant 17-0 Victory v Over Rockne's Notre Dame Team Is Climax HAD OUTSTANDING TEAM Win Over Illinois and Tie with Washington Huskies Adds to Nebraska's Prestige With its victory over Notre Dame Thanksgiving Day the Nebrsaka football team closed a successful sea son which included a victory over Il linois and the famous "Red" Grange and a 6 to 6 tie with the Washington Huskies, Pacific coast champions. Although the Cornhuskers were beaten by two Valley teams and held to a scoreless tie by another, Nebras ka football fans are pointing to the season's record with pride and main taining that the Nebraska teams is one of the outstanding teams in the country. By beating Notre Dame 1 7 to 0 be fore the record breaking crowd of 41,000 spectators the Cornhuskers not only put a fitting climax on their successful season, but they also even ed the score with the Irish. Both of the teams have won five games. The attendance record for the 1925 season was 119,000 which was an in crease of 20,000 over the 1924 sea son. Win Important Games Nebraska repeated its perform- 'ances of 192 and 1923 in defeating Notre Dame. The lvaders wore very strong favorites to win, and only one other team had won over them this year1 the Army eleven. Be yond that, Nebraska has something to be more proud of. I nthe last four year Notre Dame has lost four games. Three of those losses were to Nebras ka Cornhuskers. The Huskers got the jump on the Irish early in the game. With Rock ne's second string starting the game Nebraska received the ball on the kick-off and immediately punted on the first down. It was Captain Weir who booted the ball, and it sailed high and beautifully to the 6-yard line. Notre Dame was penalized on the enxt play and the ball came to rest on th el-yard line. Notre Dame could not succeed in plunging, and a pnut was called for. Then come the break of the game. Roach was hurried and his punt was a fizzle; it was wide and went out of bounds on Notre Dame's 7-yard line. A plunge at center by Rhodes net ted 1 yard; Choppy went off left guard for two more; and then with beautiful interference drove off left tackle for the touchdown. Weir place-kicked the extra point and Ne braska was seven points in the lead. All this happened within three min utes of the opening whistle. Rockne sat tight His second team stayed in the game, and received Ed Weir's kickoff over the goal line and took the ball out on the 20-yard line. Notre Dame again was forced to punt and the kick was only good for twen ty yards. After plunges by Rhodes and Dailey, Jug Brown hurled a pass to Mandery which was good for 16 yards, placing the ball on the Notre Dame 27-yard line. A Nebraska penalty gave Notre Dame a slight advantage, and Weir soon punted over the goal line and Notre Dame brought the ball out 20 yards. The second Nebraska touchdown came as the direct result of the pas? from Brown to Mandery. The ball was in mid-field when Rhodes gained 13 yards off tackle.. With the baP in the 32-yard line. Brown's pass to Mandery was good, and he ran the -emaining 20 yards for a score. Ed "Veir's place kick was good. Score Nebraska 14; Notre Dame 0. It was then that Rockne sent in hi' 'irst team, but they were unable tr Tore on the Huskers. They held thf 'ebraka team better than the sec -nds had done, but they were unablr to do anything in the way of scoring Nebraska had a distinct edge on the regulars as well as on the seconds lotre Dame completed only one pas' out of the many tries, several of these eing intercepted by the Hosiers. In the third quarter the Huskers rew down to Notre Dame's 15-yard ine and Weir place-kicked a field yoal, standing on the 25-yard line. rhatmade the score 17 to 0. The fourth quarter failed to pro duce a Notre Dame score and Nebras ka won the game on sheer fight and spirit. Jorjrensen Attends Hi-Y Club Meeting Arthur Jorgenson, secretary of the University Y. M.

Work ers Wednesday "The students are taking the lead in the Chinese rennaissance," was the statement made at a luncheon of the Grace Coppock staff last week j by Dr. Gilbert Lovell of Oberlin, O., of the department of vocational coun sel of the Presbyterian church. "They are determined to save China for the Chinese," the speaker continued. "The students themselves say they are not bolsheviki, anti-for- ingners, nor anti-anything, but are just making a plea for China. "The Chinese system of education :s patterned after that of the United States, where it was formerly pat terned after those of Japan and Ger many. There is co-education in the primary grades but only in three uni versities. "The president of one girls school said, 'We are bound as to our feet, our mirds and our customs. We must emancipate the Chinese wo men." In speaking of Miss Grace Coppock, a Nebraska alumna who worked a number of years among the Chinese women, work which is still supported by contributions of Nebraska women students, he said: "Miss Coppock had a reputation all along the Chinese coast. She "whs known as a woman who stood for a kindf deep and rich fellowship with God and who exercised power in her daily life. Her death was a loss to Chi- .a and to Chinese women."

PRACTICE FOR CAGE ARTISTS STARTS MONDAY Husker Chances Helped by Re turn of Five Letter Men This Year BEARG WILL COACH TEAM Season Begins December 18 With Game Against University of South Dakota Basketball, the winter season suc cessor of football, in the realm of college sports, will make its first of ficial practice appearance on the Uni versity of Nebraska campus tomorrow afternoon at 4 :00 o'clock in the Ar mory when the Cornhusker cage can didates will report for their initial workout under Coach E. E. Bearg, who piloted the football machine through a successful season, and now takes the helm in the indoor game. The cage season proper will open at home December 18, with a game in the Armory against the University of South Dakota. This will be first game in years with the Dakota school and is expected to give the team a real contest in preparation for the seires of games early in January. The contract for the Dakota game was not completd until Saturday. It completes the Husker schedule which consists of eighteen games. The completion of the new field house which will permit crowds of several times the size that could be packed into the Armory, will raise basketball to a premier position among indoor sports. Most of the games except the early season ones, will be played on the field house floor, which, though not to be com pleted entirely until later in spring, will be used as early as the stadium was used in 1923. Five Lettermen Return Five letter men will greet Coach Bearg in the initial call for practice. ' They are Beerkle, Smaha, Eckstrom, Andreson and Black. All of them played forward most of the season last year. Last year under Coach Kline the University of Nebraska basketball team rose up from a second division rating to second place in the Valley. " The five man defense was a feature of the Husker march upward. Bearg coached basketball at the University of Illinois before coming to Nebraska, and the fans are look ing forward to as successful a bas ketball team under him, as the foot ball team he produced that won victories over Illinois and Notre Dame, and tied Washington, the pride of the coast. As assistant coaches Bearg will have Owen Frank and Dick Newman, both former Nebraska football and basketball stars. Frank has been as sistant coach and scout for several years. The two will have charge of the freshman squad.
