WHEY VI IN LARGER BRAN RACES OF FUTURE Zoology Professor Speaks To Phi Beta Kappas Monday Night. Predicting that man of the fu ture will have an enlarged brain with the resultant greater intellect, Dr. D. D. Whitney, professor in the department of zoology, delivered the second in the series of winter lectures before a meeting of Phi Beta Kappa in the University club Monday evening. About seventy five attended. Development Is Normal. "This development which 1 pre dict conies only as the result of normal development," Dr. Whitney said, "for when you compare the brain of prehistoric man with the brain of present day man you will find that it was only about three fifths as large or as well develop ed. Throughout the ages the brain of man has been developing, that being the only thing that distin guished him from animal." Continue Evolution. "As we develop, in the next mil lion or one and one-half million years we will lose things just as we have lost things in developing to our present state," he said. "For instance, we have lost the hair, teeth, and tail that was once part of prehistoric man but we have gained also. We can now walk up right on two feet, whereas we for merly crawled on four, and we have developed particularly the power of reasoning." He traced in detail the steps man made in the process of evo lution and painted a rosy future for mankind. "The brains of today that seem to be those of genii," he said, "with their 'I. Q.' approaching 200 will be the common thing of the future. Man is due for a great develop ment, particularly in intellect." H. J. Kesner, president of the society, presided over the dinner.

Attendance at the football games this year broke all-time records with a total of 111,343 ticketholdeis appearing at the games during the season according to the figures released by the John K. Selleck of the student activities office. This year was also one of the best in financial way but was not of record break ing porportions because of the re duced prices on tickets. Good Weather a Factor. "Good weather is the big rea son in my opinion, that explains the reason," said Selleck. "with the popularity of Nebraska's team and the quality of the opposition following close behind. Other factors to be considered are the reduced prices and the fact that the games were not broadcast." The totals for the individual games are as follows: TYiih Okliitmnut . . . . htinvi limit Ori'KiMi Malt . IO..MI.1 hi. .mi: -JN,.VI. sj,7: Show Paid Attendance These figures are only the ticketholders in the stadium and do not include the band, ushers, and others entering the stadium with out tickets. This total included the Knotholers and members of the team who were given com plimentary tickets. The Knotholers, tho admitted at a lower price, are considered by Mr. Selleck to be a good publicity idea, because of the full price ad missions which they attract to the game. Also he believes that when the Knotholers themselves have outgrown the age limit that they will also return to the games swelling future crowds. The games that the Nebraska team played off the home field totaled for the whole season only little over 50,000 according to the statistics available. The crowds at the Pitt and Missouri games had to be estimated because of the lack of accurate information. s Students May Still Purchase Yearbook at Office Thiel States.
