i
DECEMBER 1 5TH
Present Plans Provide Six
Day Program Each Week
With Long Hours.
LIFE GUARDS ON DUTY
All Swimmers Must Have
Approval of Health
Service.
Nebraska's swimming pool will
be opened probably about the mid
dle of this month, according to Dr.
R. G. Clapp, professor of physical
education. If plans are carried
out, the pool will be open six days
a week, from 8 in the morning
until 10 at night Life guard will
be on duty during all free hours
and class Instructors will be in
charge at class periods.
"All persons who expect to use
the pool will be required to pass
physical examinations and must
have a permit from the student
health office," Dr. Clapp stated.
'Doctors at the health office will
be prepared to start the examina
tions in a few days. Students are
advised to report for their exami
nations as soon as possible. These
requirements also apply to the fac
ulty members who wish to use the
pool."
"These rules are established in
order to protect the student as
much as possible from infection,"
Dr. Clapp said. "All persons suf
fering from acute or chronic com
municable diseases will be barred.
Thus, if a person has an acute
cold, he will not be admitted utitll
he has recovered."
Instead of the present require
ment of two hours swimming for
one hour credit, the requisite next
semester will be three hours swim
ming for an hour credit. This will
put swimming on the same basis
as the other physical education
courses. As soon as the pool is
opened, the men's classes which
are being held at the Y. M. C. A.
will be transferred to the coliseum.

Miss Miller, secretary of univer

this year. She araws ner conclu

Morrill Hall Authorities Discredit
Idea That Taxidermist Uses Sawdust
BY OLIVER DEWOLF.
Eillior i nol: Thl li the third and 1t
of the erln of article! on the Webraeka
Stale Muieuro.
The old idea that the taxidermist
stuffs an animal skin full of saw
dust, and turns out a lifelike speci
men is obsolete, according to au
thorities in Morrill hall. Along
with improvements in the other
phases of museum work, the taxi
dermist now uses up-to-date meth
ods in his work, and consequently
his specimens are so natural and
lifelike as to make the average
person believe he is visiting a zoo
instead of a museum.
The work of mounting speci
mens is in itself an art. Before the
skins can be mounted thoy must
be properly tanned. Even before
this, accurate measurements must
be taken of the animal in order
that the mounted specimen may be
accurate in all details. In one
case the preparator had to take
seventy measurements before he
could mount a lioness to his satis
faction. This work, however, is
only a brief preliminary to the
task of preparlr.j the specimen.
. First an exact model of the' ani
mal Is molded in clay. In doing
this they model the body to fit the
skin, the reverse of all established
tailoring methods. Over the clay
model the preparator places a
carefully constructed plaster ports
cast. This cast is allowed to set,

Pittsburgh and Temple Grid
Squads Smother Huskers
And Mizzou Tigers.
TEMPLE WINS 38 TO 6
Cornhusker Odds Drop for
Charity Battle With
Colorado Ags.
By MURLIN SPENCER.
Big Six football prestige took a
severe setback during the Thanks
giving holidays as two of the con
ference members playing interbec
tional games went down to defeat
on the low end of heavy scores.
Nebraska's trip to Pittsburgh
resulted in the worst defeat in
years, the Pitt Panthers piling up
40 points to 0 for the Huskers.
Missouri, In a charity game with
Temple university of Philadelphia,
came out on the low end of a 38
to 6 score.
Kansas State was the only Big
Six team to come thru with a win,
taking a comparatively weak
Washburn eleven 22 to 0.
Nebraska found one of the
strongest Pittsburgh elevens in
years waiting for her as she
journeyed back to the Smoky City
for the Thanksgiving day clash.
Fitt was the favorite before the
two teams took the field, but no
one forsaw an overwhelming vic
tory for the Panthers.
Aerial Games Function.
Warren Heller, one of the east's
leading scorers and Michael Sebas
tian, a substitute halfback, sliced
thru the Husker line almost at
will, and when tiring of that,
flipped accurate passes for scores.
Nebraska was unable to match
the speed of the light Pitt backs
or check the powerful, all-senior
line, and the game turned into a
rout with the Panthers scoring
almost at will.
Only once did the Cornhuskers
threaten to count and that was
In the second period when they
advanced the ball 81 yards to
Pitt's 5-yard line thru a series of
forward passes. Nebraska tried a
pass as their scoring attempt and
Tormey, substitute center, inter
cepted it to end the only Husker
threat.
Temple Too Good for Missouri.
Missouri found Temple univer
sity far toe strong for their team
weakened by injuries. The Tigers
held a short lead early in the open
ing period when Hatfield raced 51
yards to a score, but outside of
that the game was entirely up to
the Owlf.
"Rambling" Ralph Graham tan
wild as the Kansas Aggies took
the measure of Washburn 22 to 0,
scoring two touchdowns all in the
second half. The Ichabods held
the Aggies to no scores during the
first half, but the power plays of
Kansas began to click after the

and then removed from the clay
model.
The Interior of the cast is the
exact replica of the clay model,
which in turn was modeled to meet
the exact dimensions of the ani
mal. Inside the plaster parls
model, the preparator places thin
sections of papier mache and wire
netting. This Is a tedious task,
and when it is finally completed
the cast is removed, leaving the
papier mache in the original shape
of the clay. It is over this papier
mache model or mannikln as it is
known, that the skin of the animal
Is placed, and the specimen may be
seen in the Nebraska state mu
seum, or in any other modern mu
seum. Study Environment.
Another important phase of
mounting, is the preparing of the
accessories. In making an exhibit,
the museum attempts to show the
animal In its true environment. To
do this it is necessary to reproduce
the scenery. An artist accom
panies the expedition and makes
sketches of the landscape. Other
members of the party collect
grasses, shrubbery, and plants,
and these are sent back to the
museum. If they arc perishable,
preparators In the museum recon

specimens Rre preserved and used
