STUDENT RALLY
HELD AT BUICK
Cornhuskers Gather to Hear
Broadcasting of Grid
Game with Mizzou
CORN COBS LEAD CHEERS
Nebraska cheers and songs went on
the air from KFAB, Nebraska Buick
Radio station, Saturday afternoon,
when about 200 Cornhusker support
ers assembled in the display room of
the Nebraska Buick Company to list
en to the play-by-play reports on the
valley classic at Columbia, and
to broadcast cheers that were heard
with every radio set in Nebraska and
surrounding country.
The affair inaugurated thet first
radio football frolic ever held at Ne
braska. It was sponsored by the
Corn Cobs with the co-operation of
the Nebraska Buick company.
The display rooms of the Nebraska
Buick building were cleared of cars
so that the crowd could assemble to
hear the reports on the game and
organize an impromptu cheering sec
tion at the quarters and the half.
Members of the band not making the
Mizzou jaunt were in the broadcast
ing studio and when the cheerleaders
were not busy with the yelling this
fragment of the band was playing
Nebraska songs, which went on the
air to those patrons who had the dials
set for KFAB.
Cheers and music from the Ne
braska followers at home were1 re

Foreign Youth
Amazed at Oar
Money Views
"Young people of foreign coun
tries are amazed at the commercial
ized attitude toward money shown
by the United States," remarked Miss
Irene Arms, national secretary of
finance for the Y. W. C. A., when
interviewed Friday afternoon. "Peo
ple of other countries think more of
using their money for cultural ad
vancement," she explained.
Miss Arms has been a visitor on
the university campus the last week,
and has been examining with deep
interest the activities of the Y. W.
C. A. organization here. She ex
pressed herself as well pleased with
the sound educational program car
ried on in the University Y. W. C. A.
in view of the fact that the members
were thinking sanely and honestly
about the problems of university life.
Holds Regular Meetings
In her work here on the campus,
Miss Arms has been holding regular
meetings with various cabinet mem
bers. All along, the discussions have
been along the line of the correct
use of funds rather than the sole
planning of how to get money for
the work.
"It this program for the Univer
sity Y. W. C. A. is clearly under
stood, both by the people of the cam-

Largely Local Humor
Twenty-eight pages, largely local
humor, i represents the first effort of
this year's staff in "The Eye-Opener"
number of the Awgwan. "An Eye
Opener" is depicted on the cover by
Alan Klein. Tom McCoy has a clev
er fly-leaf drawing and a take
off on the recently passed 12:15 rule
Margaret Emery, formerly a contrib
utor to the Purple Parrot, humor
magazine at Northwestern University
draws a full page near tho beginning
with a stunning co-ed and a poem,
"The Co-Ed."
Ethelyn Ayres reappears as an Aw
gwan contributor with a scene in
front of Social Sciences written as a
parody of Milt Gross' modern diction.
Humor critics who have read it, call
it one of the best parodies they have
seen. Parodies of American Maga
zine biographies carry amusing sto
ries of two prominent seniors on the
campus as announced a week ago by
the Awgwan staff.
Kennedy Writes Poems
Lloyd Kennedy, round-the-world
traveler, has two clever poems. Flor
ence Seward has written a subtle
take-off on - the campus belles, a pa
rody of Edgar Allen Poe's "Bells."
Victor Seymour interprets news from
the other world in some subtle prose
under the title "Etherial Ipws."
Short jokes written by members of
the staff fill a number of pages. The
quantity of short jokes turned in this
time permitted the staff to make a
stronger selection of exchange humor
than is usually possible, exchange
jokes being limited in the opening
number to the opening pages of advertising.
Sousa Says Newspapers Furnish Best
Sources of Inspiration for marches
That the inspiration for a stirring
march may be found in any news
paper is the belief of Lieut. Com
mander John Philip Squsa, who will
bring his famous band to the Univer
sity of Nebraska Coliseum November
1.
Sousa declares that the actual in
spiration for more than seventy of
the 122 march compositions which
stand la his credit have been written
solely because of something he saw
in the day's news. He read in a Phil
adelphia paper the announcement
that the liberty bell was to be taken
to Chicago for the World's Fair, and
he wrote "Liberty Bell." Dewey at
Manila brought forth "The Glory of
the Yankee Navy," and the organiza
tion of the American Legion, as re
ported in the newspapers, was the
inspiration for "Comrades of the) Le
gion." March Is Distinctively American
That the American daily paper
should be the greatest inspiration of
the march composer is quite under
standable, Sousa says. The inarch is
distinctively an American musical
form, and expression of the irrestible
progress of America is recorded day
by day in the newspapers.
Scores!

PASS AND PLACE-KICK GIVE

Nebraska Outplays Mizzou in Every Department of Game

But Blocked Try for Goal Loses Tilt
PRESNELL IS SENSATION OF
Henry Puts' Flamank and Clark in After Cornhusker Touch
down; Combination Passes Way to Goal Line Tieing
Score; Maschoff's Goal Gives Winning Point
By Jack
Columbia, Mo., Oct. 8 (Special to the Daily Nebraskan)
A pass from Captain Flamank to Clark and a perfect place
kick by Maschoff beat Nebraska here today 7 to C in one of
the hardest gridiron battles seen on Missouri's field for many
years. Glenn Presnell and "Blue" Howell were the outstanding
men of the afternoon's classic, Howell scoring the first touch
down of the game early in the second quarter after Presnell
had advanced the ball down the field with a 30-yard run
around end.
Nebraska easily outplayed the Tigers in every department
of the game but the passing end. It was here that the famous
Flamank to Clark combination beat Nebraska for the second
time in the last two years. Glenn Presnell, the flashy Husker
back, made a total of 226 yards from the scrimmage line and
was the sensation of the big classic.
Basic Military Courses
Have Increase of Over
Two Hundred Students
An increase of more than 200 stu
dents in the basic courses of the mil
itary science department is noted in
this year's enrollment in thei R. O. T.
C. Tho basic courses cover the first
and second years of military instruc
tion, which are compulsory for Uni
versity students not exempt for phys
ical or religious reasons.
In the first semester of 1926, with
an enrollment of 2700 men students
in the University, 927 were enrolled
in the first year basic course and 455
in the second year. This year the,
estimated enrollment of men students
is 3,455. Therei are 1,060 first year
and 535 second year men in the mili
tary department.
Health Officials
Give Exams to
1200 Freshmen
Physical examinations for Fresh
men men which were started this fall
soon after the organization of the
local R. O. T. C. companies, are al
most complete. The Student Health
department in charge of the exam
inations has examined about 1200
men to date. There are a few more
in the different drill units who have
not reported as yet.
The standard maintained bv he
Military department does not exclude
a great number of men from drill.
Heart trouble and foot ailments are
the most significant factors in deter
mining eligibility or ineligibility.
The department usually allows for
the speeding-up of the Freshman's
heart beat resulting from the excite
ment of the new environment he
finds here.
Wide Limits on Heighths
That the University does not ap
peal to men of any certain height is
shown by the fact that the highest
ca-iet stretched the tape to six feet
four inches, while the five foot mea
sure was only one-fourth of an inch
too short to measure the shortest re
cruit. Every possible height is repre
sented between these two extremes.
The average height of fifty men se
lected at random from the group is
5.76 feet.
Among these fifty men who are
assumed to be representative of the
group, there were twenty cases of
defective eyes and, seven cass of
defective feet. Few of these ailments
are serious enough to exclude the
