Two of the three teams that will appear on Ne braska field next month turned in performances that were more than impressive. The Kansas Aggies, without resort ing to their long suit, forward passes, downed the Kansas Jayhawkers, who the week previous had held the strong University of Wisconsin team to one touchdown and two field goals, by the impressive score of 27 to 0. Pre-season predictions were that the Aggies would be one of the tough ones this year, and it appears that the forecasters were right.'- The Aggies meet Nebraska at Lincoln November 13. New York Defeats TuUne New York University, coached by "Chick" Meehan, continued on its victorious rampage by defeating Tu lane, 21 to 0. Tulane two weeks ago held Missouri to a scoreless tie. The Meehanitos have scored three one sided victories so far this year, Nia gara and West Virginia Wesleyan having been defeated beneath a landslide of points in previous games Iowa State, which will oppose the Huskers at Lincoln October 80, played a scoreless" tie with Grinnell Saturday. The Washington Huskies of Seat tle, Thanksgiving Day opponents of the Cornhuskers, scored a 28 to 0 vic tory over Idaho, and continued their march toward the Pacific Coast Championship.

Mechanic Arts Building is But Half Finished According to Original Plans A task well started is more than half done! This apparently was the belief of the builders of the Mechanic Arts building which is at present only half finished. This building though nearly twenty-eight years old comprises only half, or the north wing of the original plans for the structure. Casual observations will show the finished architectural appearance of the north side of the present build ing, on which side it was originally intended to have the main entrance The unfinished rdumess of the south side is equally apparent, witr a definite area remaining on which the south wing of the building was to be joined to the north, the completed structure to resemble an H. Human Beings Seek Vicarious Thrill In Football, says Walter Woehlke Why has football become such big business? Who are all these countless hordes rushing to the football games? In an article entitled, "This Foot ball Business," for the November Sunset, Walter V. Woehlke, contri buting editor, declares that we hu man being turn to sports for a vi carious thrill. Because our cave an cestors lived in hourly fear of the prehistoric inimals, they have passed on down to the present race of men habits responding immediately to ex citing stimuli. So through the feats of football players we are reproducing in our selves all the excitement of the chase our ancestors felt. Standard of Living Factor "Not the least of the factors bring ing people out to football is the ris ing American standard of living, the tremendous growth of the national income and its wider distribution. So long as a college education was a privilege reserved for a small num ber, a prerogative of the elect, just so long was football interest confined largely to the college group. Today an enormously broader section of the population is interested in everything pertaining to college life because this broad part of the poulation either is sending or expects to send its sons and daughters to the seats of learn BiZAD BANQUET ' PLANS PROGRESS Dean LeRossignol, Chancellor Avery " Regent Earl Cline, and Mr. Hedge Will Speak Dean LeRossignol will act as toast master and will call on Chancellor Avery, Regent Earl Cline, Mr. Verne TTortcA PrAairtntifc nf tn T.inrnln f!mmW of rammer. r.d rem-esen- tatives from the faculty and student body, for short after-dinner speeches at the annual Bizad Banquet and Frolic to be held November 5 at the Lincoln Chamber of Commerce.

Taylor, '15, one of the four graduates of the School of Com merce in that year, visited the Uni versity yesterday. Mr. Taylor is now a director in the firm of Oswald Stoll and Co. Ltd., one of England's fore most financial firms. Soon after graduating from the University, Mr. Taylor obtained a scholarship in the Alexander Hamilton Institute of New York City, and from there he went to work for his present employer.

Lantz, assistant professor of Secondary Education at the Teach era College, spoke before a coun ty teacher's convention held in nay Center on October '15 ana io. Why te south wing was not anr1 never has been built is not definitely L-nnam Tf. Is nrobable. however, that the reasons may be expressed, re- I .... A. I spectively, in those worn, out., 'ing tumblers of air cr.stles "insuf ficient funds" and "never got around to it." But procrastination, in this case, had a prophetic eye, for the present plans in the building campaign for this university include an engineer ing building which will cover the en tire area on which the Mechanic Arts building and Nebraska Hall now stand, with as much additional spaet to the south of them. These may be torn down or they may be incorpor ated in the new structure. - ing. "Another factor behind the popu lar interest in football is the increas ing emphasis placed on this sporting event by the daily papers. The many pages the modern papers devote to description of prize fighU, football games, baseball contests, tennis matches, plus the exploitation of the contenders' personalities to the point of hero worship, have been a most important factor in stimulating the interest in sport and in raising the gate receipts to the armored-car lim it." Commercial Football - not Dangerous Mr. Woehlke does not believe that commercial football will endanger the college sport. "The public does not flock to Big Games solely to see a certain team win. It goes primarily to jiee twenty-two cultured husky chaps fight with all that's in them for the greater glory of their alma mater; it goes because the collegiate atmosphere at a football game is particularly free of the odor of com mercialism, because the spectacle staged by the rooting section, the en thusiasm generated by the changing fortunes of the battle would be mean ingless if the twenty-two men were merely battling for a share of the gate. And without the spirit and the atmosphere surrounding the Big Game two-thirds of the seats would be empty." November Sunset. Dramatic Publishers Accept Three-act Play Written by H. T. Decker Herman T. Decker, instructor in the School of Fine Arts and director of the Men's Glee Club has recently received word that his three-act com edy, "Done in Oil", has been accepted by the Denison Dramatic Publishing Company of Chicago, Illinois. This is the second of Mr. Decker's P'8?8 to be accepted by the Denison Company. His first successful comedy was "Now, Adolph!" and was pub lished some time ago. "BE GENUINE" SAYS YESPER SPEAKER L. C. Oberliei , Talks on "Loyalty To Ideals"; Explains Ways Success is Judged "Be genuine, the most despicable person is a hypocrite," stated Mr. L. C. Oberlies in speaking on the sub ject of "Loyalty to Ideals" at the Vesper service at 5 o'clock in Ellen Smith Hall, Tuesday. The meeting was led by Eloise MacAhan. Grace Modlin played a cello solo, accompanied by Thelma Starr. The candle lighting service will be held at the next regular hour of Vespers. This is a symbolic service and terminates the membership dis cussion groups which have been held during the fall. "Everyone wants success, they want to write their names in gold," said the speaker. What is this success we are after? Five points in Mr. Oberlies' speech illustrated the ways in which success is judged at the pre sent time. Ways Success is Judged The first point dealt with the "grabber." We rate his success by what he gets. The second point deals with people who are rated by what they seem to have. The third point dealt with the "doers." These people are always ahead of the common crowd and especially successful in particular lines of work. Yet in their ladder of success someone is conun ually going up and another coming down. The fourth point judged the UCCPeS of the "knowers." They are the folks who know more than others. Our professors are examples. They may be called the "apostles of the untrry mind." The fifth point dis cussed people who are known as "be ?rs." They are what God wants them to be. Happy indeed is the young man or woman who knows what he or she wants to do. Nebraska Orchestra Will Play at K. U.

CAST TRYOUTS l ARE CONTINUED Many Aspirants for Places in Kosmet Klub Play, "Dream Pirate" ONLY MEN TO BE CHOSEN V Tryouts for the cast of the 1926 Kosmet Klub musical comedy, "The Dream Pirate," will be continued tonight at 7 o'clock in the Faculty Men's Club Rooms in the Temple. This will be the second night of try outs and Klub members expressed the hope yesterday that they would be able to finish judging the aspi rants tonight. If they are not able to give each one a hearing tonight, however, an other night will be set since the Klub has promised to give every student who desires to make the show a chance to display his wares. The entire cast this year is to be made up of men. This offers oppor tunity to a large variety of types since the female parts must be taken by the men also. Nearly 100 Tried Out Nearly 100 men tried out before the Klub Monday night at the first tryout. Present registration in dicates that as many or more will seek a hearing before the members tonight. Although an unusual amount of talent was displayed Monday night, no characters have been picked as yet, Kosmet members avowed Tues day. No one is assured of a place in the cast yet, and no selections will be made until the last man has tried out. Students Asked to be Prepared Those who are trying out for the chorus are asked to have some song prepared which they can sing, bring ig the music for the accompanist to play if possible. They should al so be prepared to do a few simple dance steps. Those trying out for speaking parts should have some recitation or part in some previous production in mind which they can give. This is not absolutely necessary, however. Registrations for tryouts will be open in Red Long's College Book store today and until 7 o'clock this evening. Those wno are unaDie 10 re gister may appear at the Temple in the evening without signing up, al though they cannot be sure of being heard immediately since those who have already signed up will be given the first chance.

George Washington Embarrassed As Speaker in Public, Book Reveals That George Washington was agi tated and embarrassed when address ing the public is one of the facts brought out by Professor J. D. Hicks, ehairman of the department of his tor". in his speech Tuesday over ra dio as a part of the University Ex tension Department's program. The speech was the second of a series of lectures on the book "William Mac lay and the Men of His Time." Professor Hicks told of Maclay's interesting description of Washing ton. Maclay describes him as being "In stature about six feet, with an unexceptionable make, but lax ap pearance. His frame would seem to want filling up. His motions rather slow than lively, though he showed no signs of having suffered by gout or rheumatism. His complection pale, nay, almost cadaverous. His voice hollow and indistinct, owing, as I be lieve, to artificial teeth before his upper jaw." Maclay never found Washington appearing to great advantage when in public. On the occasion of the first in- Husker Line Performer Glenn Presnell, Dewitt, whose line plunging performance in the Wash ington game has placed him as one of the outstanding Husker ground gainers. - FORUM IILL HEAR TALK ON RELIGION Paul Good, Lincoln Lawyer, Opens Series Today with Discussion of "Authority" Art van PC sale of tickets indicates that a good-sized crowd will be pre sent at World Forum today, to near Paul Good open the series of talks on "The Basis of Religion" with a discussion of "Authority".

COPPOGK STAFF WILL GIVE SKIT "The Bride of Dragon King" to be Given at Convocation for Big and Little Sisters "TtiA Bride of the Dragon King" ,-o thn title of the skit which will be given by members of the Grace Cop- pock staff at the convocation inurs day at 6 o'clock at the Temple es pecially for big and little sisters. t.;ct nrirt lit.tlA sisters are urged to at tend together, but all university women are invited. iwioa T.tVipl Hartley, who has spent fnur vears in China, assisted Audrey Beales and Ethel Saxton in adapting this play, for use at this time, ine nkv is taken from a recreational book, "Chinese Ginger" by Catherine Atkinson Miller. a eVio Graduated from the University of NeWsTca 1917, Miss Hartley assisted Mi!r?f!ce Howell in the dramatic department for two years. In 1917 she went overseas to do Y. W. C. A. work among t-nmese Four vears later she returned and has since been taking graduate work here. Other Features on Program An oriental dance by Evelyn Lin- deman, Chinese songs by the Univer sity girls octette, and a short taiit or China by Mrs. E. L. Hinman "will be other features of the program. The ushers for the convocation1 will V dressed in Chinese costume to carry out as closely as possible the Chinesr atmosphere of the program. Helen Eastman, general chairman, will also, have charge of the ushers. Elva Erickson, Helen Anderson, Mo selle Austin, Mary Louise Freeman, Marion Eimers, Jeanette Clark, nd Helen Boos will usher. I augural he records: "This great. man was agitated and embarrassed more than ever he was by the leveled can non or pointed musket. Professor Hicks, quoting Maclay, said "I sin cerely for my part, wished all set ceremony in the hands of the danci ing-masters, and that this first of men had read off his address in the plain est manner without ever taking his eyes tfrom the paper, for I felt hurt that he was not first in everything." Washington was evidently of the Coolidge type as far as brevity is concerned for Professor Hicks ex plained that Maclay said Washington said little at a dinner which Maclay attended. But Maclay never question ed seriously the motives of Washing ton. "He is but a man, but really a good one, and we can have nothing to fear from him, but much from the precedents he may establish." Pro fessor Hicks concluded by stating "It is evident that Maclay held the opin ion entertained by nearly every other prominent American of the time, that Washington stood head and shoulders above the rest."

CHALLENGES IN RIFLING ISSUED Nearly One Hundred Universities And Colleges Asked to Compete With Nebraska Marksmen Almost one hundred challenges in rifle competition have been issued by Cpt. Lewis W. Eggers, sponsor of the Nebraska rifle team, to universi ties and colleges of the United States and possessions having infantry, cav alry, or engineering branches of the Reserve Officers Training Corps.

Results of the matches in each of the romnetincr schools are mailed to the onnonents immediately after the match is shot. Last year the Nebras ka team won most of its matches, and the team has even a brighter outlook for this year. For the past two weeks on each dav except Monday, the rifle range in the basement of Mechanical Engineering Building has been crowded with enthusiastic riflers, practicing for places on the team. Indian Costumes Lend Frontier Days9 Atmosphere to Omaha Reservation Miss Martha M. Turner, of the State Historical Society, recently re turned from a visit among the In dians on the Omaha Reservation in Thurston County, Nebraska, where she has been gathering a collection of photographs and interesting ma terial in the way of Omaha Indian traditions and customs. The reservation, which covers a space about twenty-lour mnes square, resembles the ordinary small Western town. There is an atmos phere of frontier days effected prob ably by the costumes of the older In dians who. :f they do not cling to their Indian blankets, dress in the style typical of pioneer days. Although many of the reservation Indians are industrious and keep up their farms (with the aid of their wives) a gTeat many are content to lead a simple life philosophizing and recalling the past on street comers. Evidence of this is noticed in the fact that a great deal of the reservation is now owned by white people who have obtained it through mortgages. In a few instances the Indians cling to the old customs of former -days. The papooses are still strapped to a CHANGE HADE IN MILITARY CARNIVAL PLAN City Police Department Rules Out Proposed Entertain ment Features NEW PROJECTS BEGUN Arrangements Will Replace "Gambling" Device Which Must be Eliminated A change in the plans for the an nual Military Carnival to be held in the Coliseum Saturday evening, No vember 13, has ben made necessary because some of the proposed enter tainment features do not meet with the approval of the city police de partment.

RESERVE OFFICERS GIVE DINNER TODAY Lancaster County Association Invites AH Advanced R. O. T. C.

Helen W'lls Is Honor Stud Helen Wills, former national ten nis champion, is among the S58 jun ior honor students at the University of Califd-nia. This is the second time that she has been in the honor roll. She is a member of Phi Beta Kappa. board and carried on the backs of their mothers. Also the young boys are given the four-day test of hunger and exposure on top of a hill. Al though the life of the adult Indian is comparatively easy and uneventful nowadays, they stul adhere to this ancient test. Evidences of the Indian's old re ligious beliefs have almost entirely disappeared, except for their weird ceremonial dances, in which they in dulge frequently in" the summer and fall. In these dances both men and women take part, but the principal dances are executed toy men in full costume. At these times the men take advantage of the occasion to realize their suppressed love 'of personal adornment and color by wearing all the elaborate regalia of their fore fathers, and even tying on the cher ished braids that were cut off during the war. It is probably by means of these dances that the once fierce In dian, who is Jiow reconciled to living the quiet and law abiding life of the reservation, can express the HfTer ence between himself and the pro gressive white man.
