A., instead of receiving the usual $1800, will receive only $1200, providing the Community Chest reaches its goal which is doubtful. The $600 cut makes a deficiency which could have been met by in creasing the goal drive. This has not been done, but instead the finance committee is asking that the students cooperate to make the drive go over the top. More $10 and $5 gifts will be needed in order to do this.

Sis chances of making a letter is year were practically depend ent upon winning first place yes terday. He ran the best race of his career, finishing within half a minute of the varsity record himself.

Stadium Field Before 12,000 For Four Touchdown, and Kick to Beat. Ame. WEISS SCORES FOR AGGIES Miller and Fisher Other Iowa State Threat.; Bobby Stephen. Place Kick. From The Cented of The Field For Huskera; Holm Play. Good Game By Oscar Norling Taking the lead in the first few minutes of the game, the Huskers had an easy time yesterday afternoon running up a 31-to-6 score against the Ames squad. The only flash of Iowa State strength came in the first quarter when they took ad vantage of a Nebraska fumble and plunged through the line for a touchdown. ' Although somewhat marred by a few costly fumbles, tht Huskers displayed a powerful offensive that overwhelmed the Cyclone line. The Ames squad, failing to gain by line plunges, resorted to an aerial attack and made good on five of their eleven attempts to gain yardage by forward passes. Bobbie Stephens made good on all of the possibilities of a triple-threat player. He broke away for several good gains through the line, was on the tossing end of most of the passes, booted the kick-offs and punts, and featured the game with a place kick from the Ames 46-yard line in the last quarter. DRAKE RUNNERS TRAIL HDSKERS McCartney Win. While Six Nebraskans Break Tape Ahead of Visitor.' Nebraska's cross-country team completely ran away from the Drake harriers in the Nebraska-Drake dual cross-country meet run over the five mile course yesterday afternoon by a score of 15 to 40.

He was leading McCartney about thirty yards when they came onto the stadium track for the final laps. With a lap to go, Hays took it easy, letting McCartney overtake him to win first place and his cross country letter. Reller, Chadderdon, 'Sprague, and Diedrichs finished in that order well ahea4 of the leading Drake runner. Martin Wins Race A. O. Martin, former Northwestern star, had a bad leg but stepped the 660 in 1 minute 25.2 seconds, in a between-halves exhibition. Ritcher, Campbell, and Lesser were given a fifteen ytrd handicap but he caught them in the first 220 and led them to the tape by five yards. Locke hurt his foot Friday evening and was unable to run an exhibition 100 yard dash. Trumble and Keiss, high school stars of last year, led a group of var sity hurdle candidates to the tape in an exhibition 120 yard low hurdle race. Trumble made them in 12.2 seconds. He wa3 aided by a back wind. Munn and Gibbons Appear Another feature of the between halves was a football game between two Lincoln grade school teams, dressed in miniature Nebraska and Iowa State football suits. Coach Schulte also introduced Tommy Gib bons and Monte Munn to the crowd. Both bands paraded on the field be tween halves. The results of the cross-country and track events were: Cross-country: McCartney, N.; Reller, N.; Chad derdon, N.; Sprague, N.; (Diedrichs, N.); Manchester, D.; Wright, D.; Hixon, D.; Lockhart, D.; Beale, D. 660 yard run: Martin won in 1 :25.2.

World Forum Acquires Position of Prominence During Last Five Years The World Forum, which is man aged by a joint committee from the Y. M. C. A. and the. Y. W. C. A., was started in 1920-1921 and has been constantly developing until it has acquired the eminence of an in stitution. It was started with ' the idea in view that the students of Nebraska were interested in a discussion of the current topics of the day. This faith in the students of Nebraska seems to have been borne out, for the World Forum has grown from a little round table affair to a luncheot. group of two hundred students.1 The World Forum holds its meet ings every Wednesday noon at the Grand Hotel at which time some leader in public or student affairs presents a discussion of some topic of sreneral interest After the presen tation by the leader the students dis cuss the question as they see it and therebv either clarify their own ideas or attempt to clarify those of the speaker. In choosing the subjects for dis cussion the committee attempts to find challenging questions which are worthy of the thought of University AFTER HUSKER FUMBLE rresnell, the Husker pile-driver, continued his line smashing tactics of the Kansas ga and broke through the line for c nsistent gains and a couple of touchdowns. Dailey and A. Mandery each contributed a touchdown to the Husker score. Coach Bearg, taking no chances on having his squad handicapped when they will go against Kansas Aggies next week, did not use any of the men bothered with injuries. Morri son, Drath and Durisch were new linemen who were placed in action against the Cyclone crew. Huskers Score Early Nebraska started off with a rush and scored a touchdown in the first few minutes of play. Oehlrich start ed the march down the field when he received a pass from Stephens and raced forty yards before he was downed on the 6-yard line. Pres nell made small gains on three at tempts through the line. Nebraska decided to place-kick, but recon sidered and Dailey made three yards around the right end. The play was . called back and Ames was penalized half the distance to the goal for off side. With the ball on the one yard line on the fourth down Presnell hit center for a touchdown. Stephens place kicked the extra point The Ames score came a few min utes later when they took the ball on the 20-yard line by recovering a Ne braska fumble in the first play after the Iowa kiek-off. Fisher and Hol man carried the ball to the oneyard line and Weiss went over for the only score. Thomas' kick for the extra point was blocked. The second Husker touchdown came in the second quarter when they took the ball on the Ames 33 yard line where Coe had punted out of bounds. Presnell, Diailey, and Stephens carried the ball to the Ames goal by line smashes and Dailey made the scoring play when he re covered a fumble and plunged through for a touchdown. Stephens kicked the extra piont. Stephens Kicks for Counter Presnell slipped through the Ames line in the third quarter and raced forty-four yards for his second touchdown. Stephens again scored on the try for point. The other scores came in the last quarter when Stephens added three with a long place kick against the wind and when A. Mandery scored on line plunges. Lindell chalked up the final score with an extra point on the try for point. The game was witnessed by more than twelve thousand fans.

The speakers are chosen with re gard to their knowledge of the sub ject and their ability to present their ideas to others. One of the subjects which the Forum never seems to have settled to its satisfaction is the Question of Fraternities with its various angles. This topic has been discussed every year and according to reports is go ing to be discussed again this year with the hope tf deciding it for all time. The religions of the world and the many divisions of each have seemed to occupy the thought of the students during the years of the Forum and many heated discussions . have re sulted. Japan and the Phillioines have an- peared rather regularly in the dis cussions and literature with its merits has vied for consistent honors. In the last several years the Forum has had several student speakers and jthey have seemed to interest the luncheon group more than the pro fessors or outside speakers.
