THE NEW ADVOCATE
The Advocate this year appears in a new form The new form permits more space available for advertising and at the same time allows us more space to print news. The more advertising we have, the better paper we can have, because the advertisers are our real financial backers, the subscriptions would hardly pay for one or two issues!
This year we are attempting to give the students real news.
Support ItS by subscribing and patronizing our advertisers.

The last of this month the Frances I Willard W. C. T. U. oratorical contest will be held in chapel. There will be two prizes, the first ten dollars, the second five dollars. The contest is open to all boys and girls of this , school. The ·speech much be on some phase of prohibition and not larger than eight minutes It must be written by the speaker and delivered without any coaching Further rules for the contest are: (1) A copy of the speech must be given to the W. C. T. U. (2) At least five speakers must Miss Haywood announces that the registration in the musical course is much larger than it has been. The ap· preciation classes have started and seem to have awakep.ed keen interest in the musical minds of the students
Thell'e classes develop intelligent mul!licians. Many people are musicians in heart, but are unable to fully un· derstand, and consequently, to appreciate the music which they feel so intensely.
A new text in harmGny is about to be introduced which will prove very interesting.
Perhaps the students of this school do not appreciate our musical course. It has been so arranged that a person may start with his first year and take the musical course through the following three years, thereby gaining fourteen credits out of the thirty-two required. No high school in the country gives more credit for its music and very few give anywhere near that amount.
The night school folders are very artistic, and certainly as clever as professional designers' work.
The majority of classes, however, are furnishing some beautiful portfolios. The decorative scheme is very attractive, and everybody admires them. First the design was worked out from a flower the elements conventionalized and the results were original designs, directly from nature. Then a color chart was carefully worked out so that every color harmonized perfectly These portfolios are not only very artistic but practical, as the students use them daily for their work. semester. This year, because of the election the contest will be held early. First prize of ten dollars last year was won by Laurence Slater Gerald Maryott and Walter Zimmerman tied for second place, each receiving five dollars.

In the estimation of thinking men, a team which displays real sportsman!'ihip, which plays hard and clean, even if it is not successful, is far more to be commended than a winning team which has endeavored to win at any cost.
This same thing is true concerning spectators and "backers" of a team, the crowd that jeers and hisses a visiting team is considered little above the level of a gathering of loafers This kind of a crowd is advertised as such over a wide scope of the country, whereas the congenial and sportsmanlike followers of the great game are looked upon as people with whom a stranger would feel comfortable.

It was decided to play three out of five games 1 for the championsltip. The first set 1 was won by Winifred Sundeen 6-3, the second by Cora Miller 7-5, the third by Winifred Sundeen 61, the fourth by Cora Miller 6·4, and the fifth by "Winifred Sundaan 6-4.

PUTTING IT OFF
A person can never mak e a place for himself, in school or out if h e forms a habit of putting things off. Did you, yourself, ever stop to think how many things you have forgotten to do just because you "put it off"? Have You never said to yourself, I'll just do that tomorrow I'm tired now"?
Nowadays a p erson cannot afford to "put it off"; there is too much competition. The fellow who said, "The nice thing about a postage stamp is that it sticks to one thing until it gets there," was rather witty , but he knew exactly what he was talking

SOPHOMORES VS. JUNIORS
The Sophomore and Junior game resembled a 1track meet more than a basket ball game. The Sophs, starting from the time the first whistle blew, began scoring goals. Jungmeyer, Neufeldt and Wiebusch did all the scoring for the Sophomores. Neufeldt and vViebusch would get the· ball and pass it to Jungmayer. Jungmeyer would just reach up and drop it through the goal.

Have you noticed the way pupils ascend the ·stairs at the Decatur High School? Well, you watch them. They go with the ir shoulders b ent forward as though they were carrying a heavy load. They walk with their chests so cramped that it is next to impossible for them to breathe. No wonder they are so tired when they reach the top!

Two More Scores in the Fourth At the start of the last quarter two forward passes by Griffen failed and Lincoln lost the ball on downs North Platte failed to gain and attempted another pass. "Zip" broke it up and apparently fumbled it, but Griffen c aught it before it hit the ground and carried it to the thirty yard line.

THE PROUD TURKEY GOBBLER
When the Pilgrim Fathers landed on the eastern shore of the new world, which has become the greatest country on earth, they found the American Indian and the turkey gobbler. How the man and the bird got here nobody knows. They were here when Columbus came-he could not tell; they had been here so long that the memory of the oldest Indian "run-

The first reunion or general assembling of the Pilgrim Fathers was in what was known as 31 thanksgiving service. Their crops had yielded such a bountiful harvest in this new land 1 that they felt a deep sense of gratitude "to the giver of every good and I perfect gift." They set apart a certain day on which to give thanks to 1 Almighty God for his love, protection I and care, and on this appointed day they all came together to sing praises to their Lord and Master. It was a glorious assembling. Here in a little crude village, just a handful of God's children who had come to this wild and unknown land that they might worship God after the dictates of their own conscience, we have one of the most beautiful pictures in history. At I this feast they told over and over again the many trials and hardships of the past, recounted the olden days, and made great plans for the future. They were building the foundation of a great nation, and they felt the burden and responsibility of the great undertaking. On this occasion they had a great feast, the fat of the land, as the saying goes, was gathered together and each contributed from his bountiful harvest, but or all the good things neth not to the contrary." none occupied a more conspicuous

Griffen starred for Lincoln in nearly every game in which he participated.
LINCOLN GETS TWO
Lincoln landed only two places on the first team, which was rather surprising. In former years the Red and Black have been represented by five or six men. Griffen is given foe left.half position and Pillard is stationed at left tackle. The rest of the team got left altogether. Pillard was chosen on account of his ability to break up and his masonic qualities.
FOUR ON SECOND TEAM
Captain •'Bully" Brian was given the captaincy of the second team and placed at right half. He simply lost out on the first lineup because there was not sufficient positions for all the good nien.
Webb, on account of his open field running and returning of punts, was given the quarterback position. Kyle of Beatrice got that position on the first team because of his superior generalship.
Ralph Lamb was another Lincoln man to win these mythical honors (whatever they be), being placed at left end. Lamb, as a receiver o[ "Pug" G ·iffen's favorite forward passes, scored nearly as many points as any other one man.

There a re about twenty-five or thirty good men who have not report ed, but they should ge t a suit and report as soon a s possible At the end of the se-ason there i s hardly enough men out to make a s econd team, and in ord er to have a good first team the second team has to be a good one. The schedule is not yet compl e ted but we have two long trips, and several short ones in the state. Th e schedule up-to-date is one of the bardest any Lincoln hich s chool team ha s gone through. Th e one thing the coach and team ar e striving to do this year is to win the state tournament the Missouri valley champion· ship,' and come through our schedule undefeated. In order to do this w e must have school spirit and support from the students. Omaha has four old men back from their la st y ear's team, and this will undoubtedly be our hardest game.

The Lost Check
The telephone rang, and Mrs. Justin Davis hastened to answer it. The sneaker proved to be Mrs. Davis' best friend, that she stayed at the 'phone talking to her for a. full fifteen minutes longer than she had intended.
"Well, really, I must go!" she said at length. "I'm going down town to do some Christmas shopping, and I'll have to hurry. Call me up again."
She hung up the receiver with a smile, and then hastily pinned on her hat, put on her coat, and picked up her gloves and purse, hastily stuffing in the check she had been writing

stopped to match some ribbon, and as she pulled the sample out of her purse, a small bit of white paper fluttered to the floor unnoticed. Mrs. Davis bought the ribbon and hurried on.
The small bit of paper was kicked and walked on, and at last It was dragged out of doors by a shopper's feet. A miniature whirlwind came along, swooped down, and picked up the paper.
On a corner a few yards away stood a small newsboy, calling out in lusty tones his papers.
"Paper, mister! All 'bout th' peace nagoshiashuns! Paper! Paper!''

Then came a suggestion from the Jones' next-door neighbor, who had long fostered the deepest enmity toward them, though until now she had attemptedi to conceal it. "No," she said acidly, all her pent-up bitterness at last showing itself in her tone, "let it come out as it went !n-on the in· stalment system!"

Christmas Spirit-
There are a good many ways of celebrating Christmas. It can done with good-will or with ill-will; "'with generosity or selfishness. But those who enjoy Christmas most are the ones who give with joy ,gladness and good wishes.
However, Christmas doesn't just consist in buying some expensive gift, but in the thought and care which the giver bestows upon it. Neither does Christmas consist of giving to those who already have plenty, entirely, but in remembering those who do not have much and who would enjoy such a Christmas remembrance.
In the Lincoln High it is the custom of certain groups to take a Christmas stocking for some poor family. The family name, and the names and ages of the children are furnished. The stockings are then filled with gifts, some useful, others just "Christmasy" gifts, all suitable for the individual to whom they are given.
This, after all, is the true Christmas spirit so much discussed, and those who give in this way ·enjoy their own Christmas more, for having made some one happier at the time, which, of all times should be the happiest, Christmas time.

''FORTUNE HUNTER" TO BE GIVEN BY SENIOR CLASS
Cast of Twenty Is Announced After Tryouts
Held Monday Afternoon.
"The Fortune Hunter " a three-act comedy by Winchell Smith, has been chos·en by the play committee of the senior class for their annual stage production. The committee came to a decision on the play late Saturday evening, after weeks of deliberation and comparisons of plays.
Maurice E. Clark, who has figured so• prominently in university dram· atic circles, taking the leading role in "Believe Me Xantippe" a year ago and many other productions, has been secured for coach. He coached the junior play, "Facing the Music," last December. He has played in "The Fortune Hunter," and says it always takes well with the public. It has not been staged in Lincoln for a number of years altho the university and a stock company have given it here. Play Try-outs Monday Try-outs for the various parts were held Monday afternoon in the audi· torium before Mr. Clark and the two class sponsors -Miss Annetta M. Sprung and Miss Margaret E. Proctor. Over fifty peopl-e tried out for the twenty parts in the play.

''The Teeth of The Gift Horse" was cleverly given by the sophomore class in assembly last Friday. The play was a big success from beginning to end.
The scene was laid in a suburb of New York where lived Richard Butler ancl his wife Florence. Their aged aunt, Marietta Williams, had made them a present of a pair of gaudy hand-painted vases which were donated to a rummage sale and sold for $1.98.
At this juncture Aunt Marietta heJ'self descended upon her nephew and niece to pay them a visit. There was a hurried scramble to locate the vaces. in which Mrs. Butler was ably assisted by her friends Anne Fisher and Delvin Blake. However, Aunt Marietta arrived before the vases were found and thru the blunders of Blake and rirmative team on woman suffrage has won in Lincoln high. The debate was a hard fought contest and not until the decision was read did any one know which side had won. The outcome was a question mark. The audience of about fifty, listened with open mouths to the statistics of Joy Berquist and the rebuttal of Cline Finley. The affirmative upheld that woman suffrage was necessary, wanted and successfuL Each issue of the negative clearly opposed these arguments. The debate concludes this year's argument on women's rights and everybody is anxious to leave it alone until the legislature decides the question permanently. This was the fifth debate on this question held within the last two months. Lawrence Slater, Fred Campbell and Rev. E. A. Worthley acted as judges.
