To Boost Score
But Holds Lead
Glenn Presnell, thundering Corn
husker halfback and Nebraska's can
didate for the mythical Ail-American
eleven, continues to lead the Miss
ouri Valley in scoring honors. Pres
nell failed to score in the east-west
clash with Pittsburgh but continued
to hold the lead among conference
scorers.
"Blue" Howell, running mate of
Presnell, boosted hie total in the
Pitt-IIusker game and crossed the
white line for two touchdowns to
advance his total to 41 points. The
Panther eleven was watching Pres
nell in the intersectional clash at
Pitt but failed to figure of the
plunging work of Howell and the
Omaha back slipped across his two
counters for the Scarlet.
Presnell has lead the Missouri Val

he jumped into the lead after the
Grinnell pnme at Lincoln. Although
he failed to score against Pitt his
54 points accumulated in five games

"Y" DRIVE WILL
GET UNDERWAY
THIS EVENING
Annual Finance Campaign for
Religious Organization
It Being Staged
DINNER HELD TONIGHT
Final Organization to Be Made
At Meeting at Grand
Hotel, 6 O'clock
The annual Y. M. C. A. finance
drive will get under way tonight.
During the next three days every'
man in school will be personally ap
nroached by one of the 130 workers
taking part, the committee declares.
The goal is $1,250 and represents
that part of the total budget of the
organization that is spent directly
for student activities.
The drive will open with a dinner
at the Grand hotel at 6 o'clock fol
lowed by a short period of final or
ganization. Similar dinners will be
held on Wednesday and Thursday
evenincrs. for the purpose of check
ing results and issuing cards to the
workers. Soliciting will not be
limited to evening work, but will be
carried on throughout the three days
of the campaign.
All of the workers in the Y. M.
C. A. finance campaign are urged
to be present at the dinner this
evening at the Grand hoteL At
tendance at this banquet counts
toward the total number of points
for each team. The men who
have not yet selected their cards,
for soliciting have been asked to
do this in the Y. M. C. A. office
before 5 o'clock this evening.
Sherman Welpton, campaign man
ager, explained yesterday, that the
drive is not for new members to the
"Y". It is an organization for the
entire student body, and is open to
any oen. Its activities are not
limited to a small group of members.
The Y. M. C. A. cabinet is chosen
from the student body at large and
in its pi an 3 it strives to carry out
those things that will benefit the
school. Welpton also explained that
the $1,250 which the students are
asked to contribute is used only to
pay for the activities which are of
direct benefit to the school. Part
of this money is used to bring noted
speakers to the school, and part of
it helps to maintain the reading
room in the Temple. The other ex
penses incurred in the operation of
the Y. M. C. A. secretary's office are
paid by alumni and friend's of the
university.
