HUSKER SCOOTS GO
TO SEE OTHER GAMES
Stewart to Watch Kansas in
Action and Owen Frank to
View Game That Mis- '
souri Plays.
Lincoln, Neb., Nov. ' 2 (Special)
While Dr. L J. Stewart is watching
Kansas in action againsf the Kansas
Aggies at Lawrence tomorrow after
noon,' Owen Frank, the assistant
coach, wilt be scouting Missouri, the
Huskers' next opponent.
The Tigers run up against Benny
Owens' Oklahoma j Sooners, a team
which has shown exceptional scoring
- power this season. .The fray at Lawr
ence also promises to be an unusually
interesting game with Nebraska, Kan
sas and the- Kansas Aggies as the
only undefeated claimants, for the
Missouri Valley title. Unless there is
a tie score, the game at Lawrence
Saturday will go a long way towards
clearing the Missouri Valley, race ior
if Kansas disposes of the Aggies, as
she is expected to do, the fight will be
clean cut if the Huskers win from
Missouri next Saturday. '.Nebraska
and Kansas play two weeks from to
morrow at Lawrence. "
Squad Takes it'Easy
Dr. Stewart has allowed his squad
to take it easy during the week and
for a greater portion of the time not
enough men reported for practice to
muster a full team. The - Huskers
were badly battered after the Iowa,
Notre Dame and Michigan -games
which came in a row and were .sorely
in need of a rest. Owing to the let-up
in the work during the-week, Stewart
believes that barring injuries, the
Huskers will be in splendid condition
for the Missouri and Kansas games.
Shaw, Shellenberg, and Otoupalik,
the most seriously injured Huskers,
have been taking a complete rest.
McMahon was the only other man
added to the .hospital list during the
week. While practicing the forward
pass, McMahon injured his hand. For
a short time it was feared his hand
was broken but an X-ray examination
disclosed that no bones had been frac
tured. Next week will see a tightening of
the" lines at the Husker camp and the
players expect to put in a strenuous
live days of preparation tor Missouri.
While the Missouri game is not re
garded as seriously as . Kansas, the
Huskers expect to have plenty to
keep thenj busy.
An effort will be made to obtain an
excursion to Lawrence for the annual
battle with the Jayhawkcrs and to
take th e band along. The only sore
spots from the Michigan game re
sulted .from the faculty ruling which
prevented the band from accompany
ing "the team from Ann Arbor) Pre
paranons are being made ht advance
to send the baha to LaAichcc. .

Star of Oregon Eleven
Is Turped Down by Army
"Shy" Huntington, one of the great
est foot ball players ever 'developed
on the Pacific coast, is back again on
the foot ball field for the champion
Oregon team whiqh last year defeated
the University of Pennsylvania team
in the East against West contest.
Huntington will be able to give hi j
valuable mental and physical aid to
his team mates this fall by reason of
the fact that he was rejected ai
physically unfit both for the marine
corps and the ambulance service in
whicl) he tried to enlist.
To the average spctator who has
seen and who will sec this fall, the
wonderful rushing end sprinting
ability, the hard tackling and general
physical strength of the Orcgonian, it
will be hard to reconcile the fact
that, he is a physical defective re
jected by Uncle Sam. Ocegonians
are quflc consent to allow Uncle Sam
to have his own way of thinking in
the matter. .
Gloomy Days in Stable ,
't Of Nate (.evvis and Walsh
.These are gloomy days for the Nate
Lewis-Tommy Walsh t confederacy.
First, Charley White, kingpin of their
stable, bobs up with a broken left
hand, and without his left hand Char
lev is not much use in the ring. Tal
Moore is out of.it with a bad wrist,
Young Denny took a beating fvom
Bryan Downey and his stock has de
clined, and Red Dolan is having
trouble' finding suitable matches.
Winter is coming on and Nate and
Tommy are feeling about as cheerful
as the man who finds himself on a
desert islaira without a sail in sight.
Ray Chapman Leader in
Stolen Bases in American
According to unofficial averages of
niajor league players, Ray Chapman
of the Cleveland Indians was the best
base runner in the 1917 campaign. He
was in the lead among Americap
leaguers, for a great part of the sea
son, and when threatened by.Ty Cobb
in tlie closing weeks of the race Chap
man also cut loose with a burst of
speed which kept him ahead of Ty..
Only five players in " the major
league stole fifty or more bases 4ur"
ing the season. Chapman led with
fifty-six, while Cobb had fifty-three
steals, and Max Carey finished up
with fifty-two thefts.
Carey von the honors in the Na
tional league with plenty to spare, but
in the American league four players
were in the race to the finish. Bobby
Roth finished with fifty-one thefts and
Eddie Collins with fifty.
Ccast Foot Ball Player
Dies After Breaking Leg
One of the most remarkable causes
of death connected with the historical
port is that of George Blewett who
died of a broken leg. Blewett, who
was a member of the freshman foot
ball team of the University of Cali
fornia, had his leg broken during a
game. Those who saw theuccident
say that the player was not even
thrown to the ground at the impact
which fractured the bone. Later, ac
cording to the attending physicians,
a small particle of the marrow from
a broken bone entered a blood vessel
through which it was carried to the
brain and there formed a clot which
resulted later in death. . .

CABINET MEMBERS
' PRAISE SUFFRAGE
Five Secretaries Endorse Move
to Franchise Women in .State
ments Made Public in
New York.
New Yoflc, Nov. 2. Five members
of President Wilson's cabinet en
dorsed women suffrage in statements
made public Jiere today by Mrs. Nor
man De H. Whitehouse, chairman of
the , New York state women's suf
frage party. Following are extracts
from statements:
Josephus Paniels, secretary of the
navy:;
"The mothers of men train their
boys for, citizens and if they are to
be trusted with the early education
and shaping of the. character of the
boys is . there; any reason on earth
why they should not be trusted with
tke ballot?"
Franklin K. Lane, secretary of the
interior:
"I see no reason to fear woman suf
frage. It has not worked disaster
in California. As a matter of political
philosophy, suffrage cannot be put
aside, and -s a matter of wise policy
it is not to be denied.
Houston Enthusiastic.
David F. Houston, secretary of ag
riculture:
"The patriotism, self-control and in
telligent action of women in the
present emergency lend additional
support to the argument and should
dispel any doubts fair-minded men
may have as to the wisdom of
enfranchising them."
William G. McAdoo. secretary of
jhe treasury:
x ne time nas come when suffrage
should be given to the women of
America. It should be given prompt
ly and ungrudgingly. The women of
the United States have in every way
since, this war has broken out, shown
themselves qualified for the right of
suffrage."
William C. Redfield, secretary of
commerce: -
"I am an, earnest believer in suf
frage for women. There are larsre
sections of our public affairs in which
womenmerely because they are wo-
men are experts, ihe cause of ed
ucation is one of these matters: an
other is the whole question of deal-
nig wun me liquor trarnc in ail its
forms; so also are questions of child
labor and of women in industry." '

U. S. TROOPS GIVEN
RELIEFBY OTHERS
Mud-Spattered Americans Re-,
turn to Billets and Clean Up
' After First Experience
in Trenches.
(By Aaaoclated Freaa.)
With the American Army in France,
Nov. 2. The first battalions of Amer
icans in the trenches have been re
lieved by others. Relief, which is con
sidered one of the critical periods,
when the nemy by shelling the ap
proaches to the positions may inflict
heavy damage, was accomplished suc
cessfully. Apparently the enemy was
not aware of what was goinc on.
With the men back in billets, it now
is permissible to mention for the first
time that the casualties were neg
ligible. In fact, more men are suffer
ing with "trench feet" than with
wounds. :
Experience of High Value. .
From a military standpoint the ex
perience gained by the Americans is
considered of a very high value in the
training of the contingents which are
yet to arrive on French soil. It was a
tired, dirty, wet, mud-caked body of
men that returned to the billets. The
men had only two clear days while in
the trenches. They were mud from
their hats to their shoes. Before any
thing else they required a bath, first
with gasoline and then with water.
Tpday the sun was shining brightly
and the returned soldiers spent most
of the time sunning themselves and
their belongings. Some of the fields
in this section of FranCe are covered
with blankets, parts of uniforms and
equipment. Clouds of red dust arose,
in these places later when the owners
started to brush. Tonight the re
turned battalions are clean and ready
to go back again.,

Chicago Is Threatened -With
Big Milk Shortage
Chicago; Nov. 2. A milk famine is
due in Chicago tomorrow. Not more
than 20 per cent of- the normal
quantity of milk was delivered today
at the collecting stations and this is
the supply on which the city will have
to subsist tomorrow.
Distributors and farmers alike con

Harry A. Wheeler, food administrator
for Illinois. It was said that the
farmers would accept any reasonable
figure set by a responsible agent for
the government, but that they, would
fight to the limit against the $3 of
fered by the distributors for each
hundred weight of milk, unless the
government said that the price was
a just one. ,
