The Victory Iowa's defeat of Nebraska at Lincoln last Saturday by a score of 12 to 0 tells the story of a well deserved victory, a victory of a team that thoroughly outclassed its opponents and that quickly seized the first opportunity to score. A tribute is due Coach Jones for his earnest and painstaking handling of the men, for his unbending effort to develop a championship squad at Iowa. For two years Coach Jones has had teams that defeated our old rival Ames. But in this time other teams of the Big Ten seemed to have the edge on the Hawkeyes. But all this time the Iowa men were improving and rounding into a scrappy gridiron machine, that has now taken into camp one of the hardest elevens in the country. With one exception all the players on the victorious team would have been eligible under the conference rules of last year: therefore Nebraska's defeat cannot be attributed to the bringing in of freshman players. The defeat came about by better football playing by the players who regularly would have made the team despite the new rule permitting the playing of freshmen in conference contests. As always the case, the first tribute rightfully goes to the men who won, to the men, not as individuals, but to the team as a whole, trained by a skillful coach. Of the men who triumphed over the Nebraskans, Lohman, fullback, played a wonderful offensive game, while Scott's defensive playing was of truly All-Western style. Captain Reed did wonderful work at end, and Slater, the big tackle, made an excellent defensive showing. Three new men, last year's freshmen, Heldt, Smith, and Kelley all did creditable work in their respective positions. "Iowa Fights," the slogan of the University, has paid the dividends of victory and the student body of the University wishes to express its thanks to Coach Jones and the men of the varsity. With Apoligies Dere Mable; Wisht you would get the girls that likes we boys here in the S.A.T.C. and wants to make us good soldiers and blithe and gay in spite of the flu I don't mean the lamp flu, Mable you won't understand I don't suppose that this is short for a dicease, to send some ukuleles and banjos and musical insterments here for us, so's we can soothe our savage breasts. That's poetry, Mable, and don't worry if you don't understand it. The men in all the companies wants insterments. Mable, and thought maybe you could get some old ones for us that's not been used since the Hawayan dancers got jobs in the munition factories. We want to have a band or orchestra or something and we have got no insterments. The only wind ones we have got enough of is combs, and the only ones with strings is shoes. Can't you get the girls at Currier Hall and the frat houses to send us some, Mable. We are in kwarantine, and it's fierce on us. Some says flu is a Spanish work, Mable, but it's not it's German. I saw the man that sneezed the first Germ, Mable, and he's as German as sour krout. They sure named Germs right. I'm spying on him, Mable, and I'll git him for Uncle Sam before I go after the kiser. Sleuthy, Mable. That's me all over. Don't forget to send the insterments. Send them to the Y.M.C.A., Mable, across the street catty cornered from the gate to the campus grounds. Yours till the flu has flew Bill S.A.T.C. These Wartimes No longer does the college student swagger down the main street of the city while his little green cap and huge pile of books---did he ever carry any?---proclaim to the whole world that he is attending and institution of higher learning. Nor does the fair coed glide about the ball room with "a perfect dream of a dancer, my dear", or recount her various conquests by the scores. Residents of the city may sit at peace about the library table and remark upon the strange quiet of this football season, adding with a sigh that is tinged with both regret and relief, "My, but times have changed." Yes, things are different now. No youths and maidens suffering from severe "cases" loitering along the paths about the campus. Instead there are the heavy tread and stern figure of the sentry, who informs those who linger that its best to "keep moving." With the optimism of the good soldier who has patrolled his beat for several hours, and to whom visions of the night ration of army beans look mighty good, this same sentry stops every passerby with a gentle, "Halt! Show your pass." This last is much to the joy of those who love all things romantic and warlike. But the real burden of these weeks while the S.A.T.C. men are being inducted and quarantined falls upon the young women. Could the student soldiers but realize it, and they very likely do, they are now the men of the hour. Those long empty evenings which are now the lot of almost every girl serve but to recall to Elsie more strongly than ever how nice Frank's smile is, and to remind Dorothy of those excursions up the river she used to have with Joe. Yes, the young women deserve credit for the noble manner in which they suffer, especially these days while there are not even the movies for pastime. It is thus that American women all over the country carry on. C'est la guerre. R. S. [advertisement] NOTICE TO S.A.T.C.

IOWA CITY STATE BANK Corner of Clinton and College Streets University Makes Wasserman Tests Medical Department Conducts New Division as War Emergency Measure As a war emergency measure, Wassermann tests for venereal diseases are being made at the laboratories of the state board of health at the University of Iowa. The U.S. Public Health service in connection with the state board of health is supplying funds for the maintenance of the laboratory. It is possible for the physicians of the state to submit specimens for examination. The work of this Wasserman division of the state board of health consists in making examinations of blood for the recognition of various diseases. "The detailed nature of the work and the length of time required for the examinations are the reasons why it has not been undertaken heretofore," says Dr. Henry Albert, director of the division. "A request for such a laboratory was made of the last legislature, but it failed to make provision for the work. "Because of the attention now being paid to venereal diseases the country over, it became imperative that provision be made for making blood tests. The United States Bureau of Health then offered support to the work." The laboratory is in charge of Miss Eva Bruett. It is possible that the board of health at the University laboratories may have to limit the number of specimens sent in by physicians, but no basis has been formulated on which this will be done. All examinations are made without charge. In case physicians are not familiar with the method of collecting blood for examination or desire to have a large number of specimens examined they are asked to confer with Dr. Henry Albert at the University of Iowa. "There is little doubt," declares Dr.. Albert, "that the next legislature will provide for continuing the laboratory on the present basis. While it is argued as a war emergency measure, the need for the work has long been recognized."
