Foes Last Week
That the Nebraska Cornhuskers
will have a tough time the rest of the
gcason was forecast by results of
games played Saturday. 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

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

"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.

"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-

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.
Some of the largest schools of the
country have already accepted the
challenges. The matches are to be
held from the second week m reb-
ruary to the last week in March.
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.

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.
