once upon a time man happened to

originally been part of suit, but

There breathed across the silence a
profoundly deep sigh.

A TURNER MASTERPIECE.
Origin of the Painters Famous Grain,
Steam and Speed"

otSdIn anu 0PSSOs
OF all pictures by the great English
color poet, Turner, none is more popu-
lar than that which now graces the
London National gallery under the
name of Rain, Steam and Speed"
which was first exhibited in 1914. 1t
is impossible to reproduce this ade-
quately.
Concerning the origin of this picture
Ruskin furnishes an interesting tale
The story was told to him by a FRIEND
Lady Simon. 1t seems that she was
travelling one night in the early days
of the Great Western railway from
Exeter to London. when l had taken
off my coat and smoothed my ruffled
plumes and generally settled myself"
she tells, 81 looked up to see the most
wonderful eyes l ever saw, steadily,
luminously, clairvoyantly, kindly, pa
ternally looking at me. The hat was
over the forehead, the mouth and chin
of the brown greatcoat. Well, we went
on, and the storm went on more and
more until we reached Bristol, where
we waited ten minutes. My old gen
tleman rubbed the side window with
his coat cuff, in vain. He attacked the
center window, again in vain, so blur
red and blotted was 1t with the tor
rents of rain. A moments hesitation

my putting down this window?

Immediately down went the win

monstrated. But he half opened the
window for me to see. Such night.
Such chaos Of elemental and artificial
lights and noises 1 never saw nor
heard. He drew up the window as we
moved on. I leaned back for some
minutes with closed eyes, then opened
them and said, We'll, I have been
drenched, but it was we'll worth it.
"He nodded and smiled and again

king" Cole inaugurated the secret ses-
sions yesterday afternoon when he began
using new plays, having the varsity try
them against the scrubs, who were sup
piled with a full line of Jayhawker tricks.
In the past Il has been Coles custom to
hold only one or two hours OF practice
in secret before a big game. but the Kan
sas game means SO much to Nebraska
this year that tse head coach has decided
to take no needless inc OF exposing
his plays to J~ayhawker spies. Then, too,
the Cornhuskers have we'll in mind the
game with K%ennedy's men last season,
when the Jayhawkers knew all the Ne
~6raska plays. That looked suspicious and
caused the Cornhuskers to be on their
guard this fall.
In practice today the scrubs tried the
Kansas defense against the varsity's new
plays and failed to hold up. The first
team men found the weak spots in the
scrubs play and penetrated for long gains.
The scrubs on the offense we're thrown
back repeatedly for big losses when at
tempts to drive through the ~Cornhusker
line were made.
The onslde kick and forward pass, of
which Kansas has boasted so much this
fall, is coming in for great consideration
by Coles men. He is drilling his play
ers to break up the worward pass forma-
lions, and had the scrubs use the jay
hawkers' pass in practice today. The ef-
forts Of the varsity to spoil these plays
failed miserably most of the time and
showed very plainly that Cole has much
work yet to DO before his players will be
in. shape to cope with the offensive tactics
OF Kennedy's tribe.
There Is still evident a great weakness
among the C%ornhuskers in driving down
the field under punts. They were ex-
tremely slow in this department Of play
this afternoon. Instead OF being down the
field to tackle a player as soon as he
receives a punt, they appear to wait for
him to get the oval and the nstart back
with it. This gives the opposing side a
chance to gain many yards that could be
denied them by a little more effort on
the part of the C~ornhuskers.
Cole announced today that all the regu-
lars would get to play a part Of the game
with Doane Saturday. He said he would
probably let the regular lineup start the
game and then, as soon as the scoring
started. he would begin taking out the
regulars and replacing them with substi-
tutes.
The athletic board has decided to present
each varsity Cornhusker with a solid gold
foot ball for a watch fob IL Nebraska
defeats Kansas next week. The players
were told OF this intention at the gymna-
stun today. and all said they would get
those foot balls or die
