NEW MEN OUT.
Candidates for Plaeen qti the Team
Increasing Three Teams in
Play Bleachers Filled
How Iowa Feels.
Yesterday was too warm for hard
football work. Trickles of perspira
tion were visible on every man as be
tolled In the bot sun. Heat did not
keep tbe expected forty candidates
from decorating the gridiron and
working the best they could. Three
teams were unllmbering and plunging
over Nebraska field at the same time.
This means a new era In 'Varsity foot
ball .when candidates are plentiful
enough to put scrub elevens bucking
scrubs. It was probably the first time
on Nebraska grounds that the 'Varsity
practiced signals at one end of tho
field while a game was progressing at
the other, Bcnib against scrub. By
the way. scrub does not slander the
playing quality of a player, but signi
fies who is not on the first team. For
merly the "scrubs" were called the
second team. The scrubB at present
have the strongest aggregation ever
put against a first team on Nebraska
field and may displace some of the old
players before many days go by. Wil
liams, Bell, Mulligan, Thompson, B'al
ley, Hood, Wilson, Martin .Tobin and
others are on the scrubs. No touch
downs were made by either team yes
terday. Coach Booth took the ball
from the 'Varsity repeatedly when
plunging down the field toward the
scrub goal. The opposition was stiff
though and showed the coaches just
where strength was needed, and where
tho best playing was done. The 'Var
sity practiced the cross-buck with
phenomenal success, tearing through
scrubs for their largest gains.
A large crowd was out to watch prac
tice and considerable enthusiasm ex
ploded on the side lines. Koehl-er was
back at center. Ryan could not make
connections aC quarter, his shoulder
still being sore. Drain played a steady
quarter. The general work of the
'Varsity was keen, of improved order
and snappy. An amateur could see
the vast difference between last Fri
day's play and today's. The blocking
was superb. Nebraska needs punting
and needs it bad. While Kingsbury
is a heavy, weighty, heady player at
full, he is too slow in punting and
neither sure nor steady when he does.
To use a punter he must kick with the
exactness of any play. Ho must be
able to place a ball exactly where he
wants it. Minnesota was strong on
punting last year and it won her the
game. Nebraska can lose on the qual
ity of" her kicking.
ThefolowIliS froni-the Dally Jowan
shows the condition of football affairs
at tho State University of Iowa:
Speculation as to the probable
strength of the Iowa football team
for 1901 has been rife since the close
of the spring nthlotic season. Con
flicting stories concerning the pres
ent condition and the future outlook
of athletics at the university have
been sent out by the correspondents
of Iowa City. Of the stories wliich
have emanated from unfriendly
squrces iro comment will be made In
this article.
Tlfo articles written in a friendly
. vein express the fear that the ab-
sence of so may of last yoar's first
eleven, who graduated, and the light
ness In weight of mo3t of the new can
didates, will make it Impossible for Dr.
Knipe to produce a thfrfl champion
ship team. Mingled with this fear is
a grain of hope thnt from the new ag
gregation, compdsed of three members
of the greatest team Iowa ever boast
ed, half a dozen subs, a few second
tenm men, and twenty or thirty new
men, may be selected a team that shall
maintain its position as one of the
strongest in the west.
On August 31 Assistant Coach Hobbs
and Captain Williams went into camp
at Minnehaha In charge of n squad
consisting of BriggH. sub-center last
year, three fast y ning high school
athletes. White, f Corrcctionvllle,
Wilklns of Red Oak. and Terrlll, cap-'
tain and quarter back at West Des
Moines last yonr, end Fordyce, a Jun
ior Dent. The squad in camp was
later Joined by Macy, Hollenbeck, Colt
hard, Herbert, SIherts, Buckley and
Williamson, all subs and scrubs laBt
year; Griffith, Kerry and Yavorsky
from the city high school team; Cap
lain Brown, of the '00 and '01 track
teams; Ollnger, from the Woodbine
Normal; McQuillan, from Harlan high
school; Lewis, a Cornell college
guard, who will be ineligible for the
first tearii this year; Miles, fr,om Ce
dar Rapids and Ochiltree from Morn
ing Sun, both promising well because
of weight added to speed; and Percy
Smith of Cedar Rapids, who boasts an
avoirdupois of 206 pounds, and may be
considered a likely candidate.
As to the strength of the team there
can be no doubt. With the material
now on hand and Dr. Knfpe's inventive
mind again nt work for Iowa's success
In football, the team that results is
bound to be an excellent one. It "wl.l
play good, first-class football. Wheth
er It will win all its games is anothor
matter, however, as the games ar
ranged for this year make the heaviest
schedule an Iowa team has ever beon
called on to play. The team's record
of sames won and lost will therefore
remain a matter of tho simplest con
jecture. Thousands of Iowa men und
women are praying for another "un
crossed goal line."
Y. M. C A.-
The chairmen of the different Y. M.
C. A. committees are calling the com
mittees into frequent consultation to
devise the best methods of carrying on
the year's work. The membership
committee mot yesterday and talked
over matters pertaining to that depart
ment. An entirely new roster of mem
bers Is' being prepared. Within a few
days a new list will he completed.
The Bible study committee has ar
ranged -for a Btblo Bttray Kniy"lo "blT
held at four o'clock- next Sunday. An
address by some prominent profes
sional man of tho city will bo the
principal featuro of the program. A
special effort Is being made to acquaint
The now students, especially of the
various Blbje study classes.
A cabinet meeting will be held this
evening at which plans for following
up new students and making thorn ac
quainted with the benefits connected
with membership In the association
and with the various advantages of
fered to students generally. The gen
eral plans for the year will also be
formulated.
REGISTRATION FIGURES.
Enrollment for First Week Indicates
(lood Attendance Matricu
lants Nearly the Same
aH hast Year.
Registration closed regularly at 4
o'clock yesterday evening. Hereafter
no student will be enrolled In tho Uni
versity except by the payment of an
extra three dollars.
According to figures given at the
Secretary's ofllco last evening there
have be5n 1,330 registrations so far.
That Is tho number who have paid tho
incidental fee which is required before
registration. Of this number 4GG are
new students and 8G4 are old students.
The former represents the number of
paid matriculations to date. The work
of registering new students has been
carried on with less friction than us
ual this year. This is due partly to
tho Improved system of accredited
schools. The value of work done In
practically every BchOol In the state
is known to the University authorities.
This makes the giving of high school
credits much more simple than for
merly. Some interesting figures concerning
past registrations are given out by per
sons who have kept close watch on
them for several years. The number of
matriculants does not vary far from
700 each year. Last year with a slight
ly increased attendance the number of
new students was somewhat smaller
than usual. During the first four days
last year there were 465 new students
enrolled. This is Just one less than
this yoar and indicates that the at
tendance this year will be about the
same as last year. What the effect of
the threo dollar fee on the early reg
istration will be cannot be foretold. It
Is fair to presume, however, that tho
tendency would be to cause students to
register earlier than' usual, at least
jomc time before the close of tho per
iod allotted for that work. Under the
same conditions the registration ought
to be heavier than it was last year
for the same porlod of time.
Professor Caldwell has kept a care
ful record of the number of matricu
lants during the first seven days each
year for several years. It shows the
following figures:

One of the Instructors In tho Univer
sity who has noted the decreasing at
tendance In some of tho departments
this year, expressed an j)pinlgjia& In -
the cause. In doing to she pointed
out the University of Missouri as an
Institution well supported ty tho leg
islature. Largo and attractive build
ings are pro-, ided and owing to tho
fact that there is no Incidental feo
some of tho students formerly attend
ing at Nebraska arc now at Missouri.
The instructor in question thinks that
the new fee and lack of appropriations
for buildings will tend to cut down
the attendance this year.
Bruce Benedict, '01, Is taking work
for his master's degree. At present
he is located at the Havelock boiler
works, Is
UNIVERSITY CHORUS MEETS.
Tho chorus mot in Memorial Hall
yesterday at 5 o'clock and commenced
regulnr work. Tho attendance was
between seventy and sevonty-flvo nnd
Is fairly good for tho first time. Tho
number of male voices is particularly
noticeable.
Some new arrangements have beon
made for this year's work whlch.s.hpuld
mako the courso attractive for all tho
students whether they receive, Credit
or not. . .
Tho first semester a part of tho
"Messiah" will be studied and sung
by the chorus about Christmos time.
It Is the desire of the authorities that
this bo made a yearly affair.
The work during the second semester
will require two hours to complete tho
three that are required in order to oh
tain 1-5 credit for tho year's work.
The beautiful work of "Hiawatha"
will probably bo studied, Including but
two parts, the "Wedding FflrtBt" and
tho "Death of Minnehaha." . This Is
considered a very fine, piece of art and
will be given during the colniuohce
ment week in the spring. - - -
As yet no rogular meeting place for
the chorus has been determined on, but
It will bo decided in u week or twp.
The new chapel Is considered a very
poor place for . such work on account
of itu poor acoustic properties.
Mrs. Raymond, the dlroctoress of the
chorus, Is very enthusiastic this yoar
for Its welfare and the University may'
look forward with some pleasure to
what will be presented later.
THE KAPPA VAUDEVILLE.
Tho climax of tho Kappa Kappa
Gamma festivities was reached last
night in a unique and amusing vaude
ville presented at the homo of M(ss
Mabel Richards. Those who aro ac
quainted with the arrangement of Miss
Richards' home will understand how
suitable it was for tho occasion. Only
the mothers of the girls, the nlumnl
members and a few friends were pres
ent as guests of tho active chapter
Tho majority of the yonng ladles
wore In costume, which added much to
the attractiveness of the sceno, and
pleasantness of tho evening. Tho pro
giam rendered was not only pleasing
to the guests but also brought out the
various talents of the young ladles par
ticipating. MIsbcs Raymond and
Griggs sang sdvery- very pretty solos.
Miss Lottlo Whedon, in costume," won
much applause for her rendition of a
comic song. Cakewalks, Swedish and
fancy dances were presented In rapid
succession. John Kendrlck Bang's
laughable farco, "Proposing Under
Difficulties," was presontefi?in a way
lthat would-havtrdoirc TSHftlfcprof e's
slonah actresses. In conclusion, that
now, catchy song, which has Just
rqached Lincoln, "Tell Mo Pretty Mai
den," from the opera tfloradora, was
presented by the double quartette
Tho spacious Grecian court by a
tasty arrangement of palms, lanterns
and small tables, was transformed into
a modern summer garden. Hero re
freshments were served by . daintily
dressed maids, both during and nfter
the performance.
