Entered at the postofflce at Lincoln, Nebraska, as second class
mall matter under tie Act of Congress of March 3, 1879.
It is the truth that hurts, and when Coach Stewart told the stu
dents at the football rally jesterday that they were overconfident and
did not take the right attitude in rallies and at games, they were any
thing but pleased. Nevertheless, it is true and though the effect on
the hearers at the moni6u; was unpleasant. Coach Stewart is to be
admired for his audacity. A man who is practically a stranger and
who tells two hundred students their greatest fault the first time he
sees them, is no coward, to say the least We have needed a shaking
up, at Nebraska, and today's scolding is the best tiling for us that
could have happened.
Conceit is one of the seven sins, and our unbroken record of
success has created a conceit that is unequaled..
The team must have level-headed, "honest-to-goodness" rooting,
with the spirit of the fight in every man, not the ragged frivolity and
kidding" which is so prevalent. The overconfidence is the thing which
has created the childish idea that rooting is a lot of noise regardless
of how, when, or where.
Coach Stewart is not accustomed to our hit and miss method of
yelling for the team, and attempted to tell us where we are wrong.
Other schools get behini their team and root with the right spirit.
Why shouldn't we? There were men at the rally, from Harvard,
Cornell, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Kansas, and every one of them said
that the rooting at Nebraska is different from any they had seen.
Let's get out and help the team win, Saturday, with the spirit of
true Nebraskans.
Cheap notoriety and no work have you ever heard of such a
thing?
When people come to the University they are usually very bnsy
eight o'clocks and five o'clocks are on the schedule, committee meet
ings, football games, dates all take time and then people" forget
They forget that the folks at home are meeting the mailman, expecting
a letter from the one away at school. They forget that there is lone
someness at home sometimes and a wish that they were thereThey
forget that it is because of those ones that they are in school at all.
A letter can do a world of goo and make a lot of happiness.

allowed for the meeting on account of
the length of the football rally, the
minor officers of the class were elect
ed and plans were laid for the fresh
man mirer and the Olympics.
The following officers were chosen
for the year: Margaret Dodge of Fre
mont vice-president; Caylord Davis of
Lincoln, treasurer; Iceland Waters of
Lincoln, secretary, and Herman
Schroeder of Lincoln, sergeant-at-
arms.
Late Meeting
The meeting was not called until
11:45 and therefore a good many
freshmen were called away by hunger
and the crowd was rather small. Those
present, however, showed enough en
thusiasm to make up for the absent
ones.
After the election Ellsworth Moser
gave a short talk urging the freshmen
to sunport the mixer and organize for
the Olympics which are to be held on
the morning before the Kansas foot
ball game.
President Riley also spoke briefly
urging the wearing of green cape by
all the men and telling of the class
football and basketban team soon to
be organized.

been concentrating on team work on
the field te past week, and now I
would like to see the student body
Sghting for the victory."

cret practice, the coach said that the
pates would r opened If the students

The coach said that he hal to keep
watchful to 7i ake sure that thorn were
no scouts v aiching, that it w is ital to
the success of the team that thcr-w-re
none learning the plays. The
gates will be open any time the stu
Ictite signify their desire to attend the
practice in large numbers, but ths
coach would prefer to havs them
closed to kep out the scouts.
Tuesday's Rally
Regarding ext Tuesday night's ral
ly the coach uiged the rooters to give
the boys something to remember, to
make them feel that they have some
thing to fight for when they trot upon
the field at Portland, off a strange field
and before a strange crowd.
"Tium" Doyle, versatile fullback, got
up and said with all earnestness that
"the rootin' has been pretty poor here
tofore." "Lum" suggested that when
the students take the team to the train
next Tuesday night they bring some
"eats" along for the boys to take
west with them.
Prof. R. B. Scott was the next rally
speaker, and his talk was one of the
best that has been given at rallies in
the past few years "For a long time
Nebraska has not lost a footbali
game," he said, "but it looks now like
we are going to lose one. If most of
the enthusiasm turns to 'kidding.' The
team will win if we show genuine stu
dent spirit" We must have spirit to
posh things through. Overconfidence
was the reason why South Dakota held
us to a 0-0 score two years ago.
Coach Real Ors
The new coach is a real coach, and
the football team be has is a real
team, Professor Scott asserted. Ne
braska needs students who will put
their school ahead of everything.
Lorin Caley got up to say in char
acteristic style that the rooter should
get Into it Instead of sitting in the
stand waiting for the boy to bring
around a milk chocolate.
Captain Tlm" -Corey was enthus
iastically cheered when he rose. He
brought some bear dope from Kansas
Aggievflle. He said the weakness of
Nebraska was her lack of star men.
The rooting has ben absolutely rot
ter he declared. The reason for the
big score against Drake was that the !
Iowa Bccbool had a team of poor
tackier s. i
The K. A. Slogan
The Kansas Aggie slogan is to beat
Nebraska by one more touchdown than
they beat K. U. They are coming with
the one thought of victory.
At this stage of the rally, Stewart,
who had been visibly growing hotter
as the rooters made fun of each
speaker as he got up, sprang to his
feet for a second speech not on the
program, in which he declares that he
did not bring his team to the platform
to be kidded." He expressed a frank,
if not high opinion, of the kind of root
ing that had prevailed, and which he
was evidently not used to and didn't
intend to become use! to.
After Stewart, Rutherford told of
his trip to Manhattan, and of the
spirit the students had 6hown there.
Unless Nebraska gets behind her team
a defeat would have to be expected
Saturday, he declared.
