EOR GOPHERS' PELTS
Nebraska Men Leave for Minne
apolisRooters Give Them
Fnthuslastic Send-off
With Cheers.
The team left for Minneapolis at 0:15
last night, via the B. & M. At 2 o'clock
the- men met on the field for practice
and at 4:45 supper was served at tho
training table.
About 200 rooters collected at the
depot, and about twenty-flve managed
to get up enough enthusiasm to give
tho mon a good send-off. Operations
were begun by giving the good old
Unl yell, and soon a crowd collected
along tho special car and cheered the
men until tho train departed. Tho
yelling was led by Riley and David
son. Every individual member of the
team received official notice of the
fact that he was all right and then
"tho whole bunch" was declared to be
in the favor of tho assembled multi
tude. Jack Best and the coaches came
in for their sharo of the praise, and
for twenty minutes the yelling that
went on would have done credit to a
crowd twice as large. The only trou
ble seemed to be that the majority
preferred to stand around and hear the
few enthusiasts yell, while they did
nothing themselves.
Coach Booth was called for and ap
peared before his audience. He mod
estly presented himself on the plat
form and with a graceful bow and
bewitching smllo disappeared within
the car. Captain Westover in like
manner made his appearance. Then,
as tho rest of tho heroes declined to
leave their Beats, they were forced to
show themselves at the windows..
Filially Coach Palmer was discovered
sneaking through tho crowd and was
immediately tossed several times, after
which ho was escorted to the platform
on the shoulders of the crowd. As the
train pulled out the yells again re
sounded in the air and every man in
tho party went away feeling that
whether tho team won or not there
were loyal supporters -at homo who
would apprecfato their best efforts.
All tho men in the first Bquad are
in good condition and capable of play
ing the hardest game ever put up by
the 'varsity. What the result will be
wo will leave for Saturday to decide.
Ono or two scrubs laid off the other
afternoon for the first time since prac
tice commenced last month. That day
the scrubs scored on the first team
and earned a supper for the team as
promised by the coaches. TIiobo who
laid off are naturally feeling rather
glum because they were not In the
game and at the supper.
After a theater party at "The
Storks" last night, Miss Edith Locke
entertained at a chafing-dish party In
honor of Miss Ma de Sousa, the lead
ing lady.
