KAGGIE HOPES BLASTED
Missouri Pushes Sooners
Down When Passing
Game Clicks.
By MURLIN SPENCER.
Nebraska continued on its
steady march (or the Big Six
championship with a 6 to 3 victory
over Kansas Aggies in the feature
game of the week. The Cornhusk
era are now tied with Iowa State
for first place and the result of
this Saturday's game will tell the
tale. Missouri beat Oklahoma 7 to
6 in the only other conference
game, giving the Tiger its first
conference win.
In nonconference games, Iowa
State lost to Drake 6 to 7 and
Kansas won from Washington uni
versity, 28 to 0.
Nebraska's win over the Aggies
was spectacular, the Huskers en
tering the contest as the under
dog. There was no question as to
Nebraska's superiority, rolling up
nine first downs to four and hold
ing the Wildcats' vaunted power
attack to a standstill. A seventy
yard run by Lewis Brown in the
closing minutes of play gave the
Huskers their score after a long
march down the field had stopped
seven yards from the goal line
Missouri Shows Power.
Missouri rose lo their full
strength in turning back the
Sooners. A pass, Stuber to Bittner,
over the Sooner goal lina ac
counted for the Tiger score. Percy
Gill kicked the extra point and
Missouri held this load to win her
first Big Six game of the year
Oklahoma threw the Tiger into a
frenzy when she earned a first
down on the Missouri 1-yard line,
but three trials at the goal re
sulted in losing three yards and
Schiele wound up in possession of
the ball on the last Attempt,
Kansas really found herself at
last after a long string of defeats
when she took Washington 28 to 0.
The Jayhawks have gone a long
time with a powerful team unable
to find itself, and by the looks of
things something must have broken
Saturday. Page, Schaake, and
Carnie Smith were outstanding in
the Kansas victory.
Drake Down Cyclones.
Drake's victory over Iowa State
was an upset Drake took a bad
trouncing from Missouri last week,
and the Cyclones, contendors for
the Big Six title were slated to
win hands down. Possibly Iowa
State is holding everything in re
serve or this Saturday at Lincoln.
The highly publicized toe of Dick
Grefe failed to come thru in the
first period after Duesenberg had
plunged for the touchdown and his
kick was no good. For three games
Iowa State has been the underdog
and has upset the dope bucket to
win. The first time they are slated

APTITUDE TEST GIVEN
TO
Manter Supervises National
Association Examination
On Dec. 11.
Medical aptitude test of the As
sociation of American Medical Col
leges will be given to premedldcal
students at the University of Ne
braska Dec. 11, in Bessey hall
auditorium at 2 p. m. The testa
which will require about two hours
will be supervised by Prof. H. W.
Manter.
The aptitude tests were adopted
ty the association in October, 1930.
Tbey were administered through
out the United States for the first
time last year. More than six hun
dred colleges will give them this
year. The previous test contained
the following six parts: Scientific
vocabulary, premedical informa
tion, comprehension and retension,
visual memory, memory for con
tent, and understanding of printed
material
A nominal charge of $1 from
each student taking it covers the
cost of administering the test. All
papers are graded by the commit
tee of the association and the re
sults compiled in book form and
confidentially reported to the
(taans of all class A medical
schools in America.
The annual tests are used by
the admissions officers of the
medical schools as one of the cri
teria in admitting students..

Banquet.
Dr. O. A. Toung, head of the
department of neuro-psychiatry of
the college of medicine, will ad
dress p re-medical students at a
banquet to be held at the Grand
hotel Wednesday evening. This is
the second in a proposed monthly
series.
The banquet has been arranged
under the auspices of the Nu-Mcd
society of the university. Prepara
tions have been made to in'tude
an attendance of approxlmtely one
hundred gueuta.
AT
TODAY
Judd Will Describe Nation's
Struggle for Self
Government.
China's struggle toward self
government will be the subject of
Dr. Walter H. Judd, graduate of
the University of Nebraska, in an
all-university convocation in the
Temple theater Tuesday at 11
o clock.
Dr. Judd has been in charge of a
large hospital at Shaowu, China,
for the past seven years, and has
been given extensive opportunity
for observing the recent economic,
social and political changes in
China. He is acquainted with many
of the Chinese political and mili
tary leaders, and has several times
dealt with various bandit chiefs.
Dr. Judd's experiences during
the various upheavals China has
undergone make an interesting
story. During the revolution and
civil war of 1926-27 his hospital
was six times commandeered by
armies of the region. Threats
against his life have been numer
ous. Recently he was saved from
a firing squad only through the
timely intervention of a Chinese
officer whom he had once be
friended.
RIFLES MEET TODAY
Honorary May Act on Plan
To Wear Uniforms to
Military Ball.
SPOERRY FAVORS KHAKI
Pershing Rifles will meet to
night to determine whether they
will all attend the military ball in
uniform, it was announced yester
day. This action is being taken in
response to Captain Spoerry's sug
gestion that all who attend wear
uniforms.
Officers in charge of the ball are
endeavoring to get as many basic
cadets to turn out for the occa
sion in their uniform as possible.
The reasons for such action are
two-fold. As given by the captain,
the first is to make the event as
truly military as possible, since it
is sponsored by the R. O. T. C.
unit of the university. The second
reason is to make it possible for
those basic students to attend who
cannot afford full-dress attire. In
addition they will be able to ob
tain their tickets 50 cents cheaper
if they appear in uniform.
"Last vear there were only a
few students who wore the basic
uniform and those who did de
clared they felt conspicuous," the
captain declared. If Pershing Rifle
men go on record ai favoring me
basic uniform and agree to sup
port such attire for the occasion,
other cadets will likewise support
such action for they will not be
afraid of being one of a few in uni
form.
Announce Orchestra Tomorrow
The orchestra which will be the
central feature of the major event
will be announced Wednesday. One
of the six eastern orchestras which
the committee on music has been
dealing with will be decided upon
within the next two days.
Tickets were placed on sale last
Friday when all cadets appeared
on the campus in uniform. The
tickets are of three kinds at three
different prices. A ticket of blue
will be sold to advanced students
of military science for 11.50. Red
tickets will be sold to basic stu
dents appearing in uniform for
$2 and civilians will be able to pur
chase their green tickets tickets
for $2.50.
Both the red and green tickets
have been reduced this year. The

Colleges Take Depression Seriously;
Princehn Cuts Cost of Senior Prom
BY OLIVER DEWOLF
The depression is twisting the
Princeton's Tiger's tail. News from
the Black and Orange school tells
of a drastic price reduction in the
annual senior promenade which
was held last Friday and Saturday
nights. The cost of the music was
reduced one-third, and the refresh
ment costs were clipped 75 percent.
The prom is evidently quite an
affair. Two orchestras provided
music from 10 until 4 Friday night
or Saturday morning and from 9
until midnight Saturday evening.
The price of admission was $2.00
per couple, and SI for stags. In
order to bring about this price re
duction, the prom committee in
conjunction with the university au
thorities, cut the cost of flowers
to one-seventh of the 1930 total,
and decreased the number of free
tickets, besides reducing the cost
of music, and refreshments.
In view of this the University of
Nebraska is evidently not the only
school cutting down on expenses.
The Military Ball Las a four-bit
cut to Its credit just to start the
"ball" rolling. However, there is

were distributed on the first day,
About 200 copies, 100 under
last month, were sold from four
booths on the city campus and at
the college of agriculture yester
day, he reported. The drop he be
lieves may have been due to the
release of the magazine at the
same time the new student direc
tory was placed on sale. He be
lieves today's sales will bring the
number up to the same as last
month.
Block subscriptions to fraternity
and sorority houses remained the
same as for October, at 700 copies.
Three hundred magazines were
placed on sale at Lincoln news
stands.

cal "renaissance period" street
scene with persons dressed accord
ing to the custom of the time.

EXTENSION TO OFFER
NEW TEACHING PLAN
Community Organizations in
State May Study
History.
EIGHT WILL INSTRUCT
Thru the extension division, the
university is now offering study
center work in history by members
of the department staff to com
munities in the state, according to
a bulletin issued by the extension
division recently.
Eight instructors in the history
department are teaching these
courses, which are being offered
in the various towns under the aus
pices of local elementary and high
schools, local colleges, the country
superintendent of schools, the
American Legion, the Parent
Teacher associations, and similar
groups.
The work is conducted in the
same manner as the night exten
sion classes, and courses are open
to students who desire to receive
class credit or to those who desire
merely to audit the courses, the
bulletin reads.
Have Ffiteen Class Periods.
Fifteen class sessions of two
college recitation periods, or 100
minutes, are required, and those
registering for credit must meet
the regular requirements fo the
course, according to the extension
division bulletin.
The following courses are being
offered bv the instructors in the
history department: Prof. C. H.
Oldfather, "Classical Antiquities
and Ancient History ; Prof. F. M.
Fling, "History of Civilization,"
'The World War," and "The Fans
(Continued on Page 2.)
some criticism directed at the mili
tary department for not cutting
the price down to $2.00 per couple.
Many students have expressed the
intention of waiting for the orches
tra to be announced before buying
tickets.
Greeks Here Act.
The recent move of the Inter
fraternity council and the Pan
Hellenic council to lower the cost
of orchestras, and ballroom accom
modations was another successful
step in the economy program, and
now we have a little agitation
about walking dates. The Prince
ton dispatch said nothing about
this little innovation, that isn't
really an innovation, because girls
and boys have walked arm in arm
through the moonlight for many
years before this article even
thought of appearing in print.
One thing is noticeable, however,
despite the success or failure of
Nebraska's latest move, the uni
versities throughout the country,
contrary to public opinion, are cut
ting down on unnecessary ex
penses, and really taking an inter
est in this matter of economy.

MET KLUB CALL
Deadline Not Set; Will Be
Soon After Holiday
Vacation.
Four persons have answered
Kosmet Klub's call for manu
scripts for the annual spring mu
sical show. The call was issued
late last week. More acceptances
are expected shortly by the organ
ization. Dick Devereaux, presi
dent, indicated yesterday.
The first call for the manu
scripts which was issued last week
officially opened the beginning
made by the Klub to obtain a play
for the spring show.
Altho the definite deadline nas
not yet been set, it will be shortly
after the Christmas holidays, De
vereaux declared. If these are any
questions any student would like
to ask or if there is anyone who
already has work to turn in. they
should get in touch with Dever
eaux, if the Kosmet rooms are not
open when they call.
The play, conforming to Kosmet
tradition, is to be a musical pro
duction of three acts, written with
the thought in mind that it will be,
preferably, a presentation by an
all male cast. "Sob Sister," the
second of William McCleery's
three consecutive productions, was
the only play to deviate from Kos
met's tradition of an all . male
presentation.
No Female Players.
There will be female roles in the
play this year as in the past, but
they will be portrayed by men.
It is the desire of the Klub tnat
this year's manuscript which is
accepted for the spring snow be so
composed that it take care of a
cast of approximately thirty. Fifty
dollars will be awarded the person
composing the winning manuscript
for the spring presentation. This is
the same prize awarded to win
ners of former years.
A number of Nebraska towns
have already tentatively agreed to
support this year's musical pro
duction in its tour of the state dur
ing spring vacation. Each year the
Klub takes the show on a road trip
and play before citizens of the
larger towns of Nebraska.

Missionary Speaks Before
Members of Religious
Groups.
REV. M'MILLIN PRESIDES
Renewing the situation in China
today and suggesting its needs,
Dr. Walter Judd, medical mission
ary from China who is traveling
for the Student Volunteer move
ment In the United States at pres
ent, spoke before a group of fifty
at luncheon at the Grand hotel
Monday.
Dr. Judd named and discussed
five phases of the complex situa
tion. He told of the origin and de
velopment of the feeling of na
tionalism. After speaking of in
dustrialism and the system they
employ. Dr. Judd told of the work
ings of the communist group in
China.
All groups which are not sin
cerely sympathetic with the com
munistic movement are beheaded,
stated the speaker. However, said
Dr. Judd, they feel that in killing
the members of four great groups
they are only destroying one out of
every ten citizens. The groups
which the Chinese communists feel
are detrimental to their progress
and force, are the old officials of
the government, the new patriotic
administrative officials wbo oppose
the communist regime, the capital
ists who are those persons in
China who saved money to take
care of themselves day after to
morrow, and the teachers of re
ligions, stated Dr. Judd.
"At one time a group of college
students stated their disapproval
of the communist group and were
promptly beheaded as soon as
their identity could be deter
mined," declared the speaker.
The climax of Dr. Judd's address
was his announcement of the na
tional student volunteer conven
tion which will take place in Buf
falo, N. Y., from Dec. 30 to Jan. 3.
Representatrves from many parts
of the world will attend the ses
sions. Rev. L. W. McMillin presided
at the meeting as chairman of the
University Council of Religious
Welfare which is composed of a
faculty, religious workers and stu
dents delegation. Members of the
Students Volunteer group and rep
resentatives from all student reli
gious organizations on the campus
were present.

Causes Delay; To Be
Done Dec. 15.
Work on the swimming pool has
been progressing rather slowly du
to the delay in the arrival of ma
