Thirty University Students Were
Present Andrew Morrlssey Wat
Chief Speaker of the
Evening.

ing. In spite of the threatening
weather about sixty-five men turned
out, half being students and the oth

Robert Harley, the retiring president.
The program consisted of songs by the
Glee Club quartet and speeches by
members of the club and candidates.
Mr. Andrew Morrlssey, secretary to
Governor Morehead, made the princi
pal address of the evening. He re
ferred to" the success of the present
Democratic administration. He called
attention to the tariff, and the new
currency law, which took the bank
ing system of the United States out
of the hands of Wall Street and made
impossible another panic like the one
of the year 1907. He spoke of the
income tax, the merchant marine and
the trust question. He ridiculed the
idea of one claiming to endorse the
administration of President Wilson
and still remaining a Republican.
After several speeches, a business
meeting was held. The following offi

No Noise In Colorado.
Noise is not school spirit. It is
rather one of the marks by which
school spirit Is known. college yell
is not the highest form of devotion to
a university, but it is pretty good
proof that such devotion is present.
There never yet was a loyal and
spirited student body which could not
on occasion convert portions of its
spirit and loyalty into noise.
Colorado , men seem to be stricken
with throat paralysis if one is to
judge by the brand of yelling dished
up thus far. The noise made at the
alumni game Saturday scarcely car
ried across the field and two or three
times the girls in the opposite stand
asked each other what the men were
mumbling about.
Unless we expect to be utterly
drowned out at the games in Denver,
it is up to us to forget our natural
modesty, put our hearts into our work,
and instill a little life and ginger as
well as volume into our yells ana
songs. Silver and Gold.

PLAYED IN THE ELECTRICAL
PARADE LAST NIGHT.
THIRTY-FIVE MEN PRESENT
For Seven Years Without Fail Has the
University Cadet Band Been
Called to the Omaha
Aksarben.
Thirtty-flve members of the Univer
sity cadet band, accompanied by their
director, C. B. Cornell, left Lincoln
yesterday on a special' train for Om
aha where they will take part in the
Aksarben celebration. The first ap
pearance of the boys was last evening
in the famous electrical parade. They
will also furnish music today. The
trip was the result of a special invi
tation to Prof. Cornell from the chair
man of the music committee of Om
aha's biggest "annual."
For seven years the university band
has been one of the few chosen to
obey the whims and caprices of "King
Samson." Aggregations from the city
have repeatedly tried to gain the
recognition of the king's secretary, but
equally as often have met the lord
high executioner or some other worthy
as cruel in his refusal.
Prof. Cornell and his men will return
this afternoon.

STIEHM RECEIVES A TELEGRAM
FROM S. D. ATHLETIC BOARD.
HUSKERS IN POOR CONDITION
Five Regulars Are Laid up With Minor
Injuries Many Substitutes Will
be Used in the Game
" Saturday.
I
By H. L Kyle
That the Coyotes will be here Satur
day, is. now almost certain. Coach
Stiehm received a telegram from the
South Dakota athletic board yester
day, informing him that a list of the
men they expectdd. to use against
Nebraska would be sent to him at
once. Such being the case, it is very
probable that they will be allowed to
send on their aggregation of Coyotes,
Cubs, Curley Wolves, and Bears.
Regarding the strength of the team
that he will offer, to tame this raging
menagerie, the coach was dubious.
"Because of the poor physical condi
tion of so many of the regulars," said
he, "the outlook is far from promising.
It is quite probable that several of the
most important positions will have to
be filled by substitutes during a large
part of the game. Rutherford, Howard,
Hawkins, Norris. and Shields are all
suffering from minor injuries, which,
though probably not serious enough to
keep them oft the line-up, will certain
ly prevent them from playing their
usual game, and will necessitate the
using of subs for a large share of the
contest.
A spirited exhibition game between
the varsity second team and the fresh
men took the place of the regular prac
tice, yesterday afternoon. The ball
see-sawed up and down the field for
over two hours, each team scoring an
occasional touchdown, until approach
ing darkness put a stop to the battle.
For the yannigans, the work of Gross
and Fouts shone out especially, while
the stars of the embryo bunch were
Cook, Otoupalik and Gray. Every
" liable man in both squads was
given an opportunity to cover himself
with mud. An exhibition game is
scheduled for every Wednesday, dur
ing the remainder of the season, and
rooters of both sexes are expected to
attend.
