est practices at other big universities
in the country. The Innocents and
Black Masques, senior men and wom
en's organizations, have taken up the
idea and will present it to the students
in the meetings this morning.
Medical Attention Important
In the opinion of faculty members,
smong whom is Prof. E. H. Barbour,
one of the speakers at the men's meet
ing, medical inspection is one of the
moat important considerations of an
institution which has more or less un
der it surveillance 5,000 young peo
ple. The plan, as employed In other
univeraitiea, calls for a fee of $3 at
registration which entitles the student
to absolutely free medical attention,
no matter what his ailment; Us dura
tlon or character. This Is practiced
in connection with a separate hospital
for the care of university students
solely.
Professor Barbour bas collected re
Port from fifty American universities
bere the system of free medical at
tention has been long established, la
6,1 of these the iln. In l:s various
forms, has been successful without ex
ception and has worked much good

Every Loyal Student Will
Bid Team Farewell lonight
The University of Nebraska football
team leaves on its longest trip tonight.
It will go 2,000 miles, to a strange foe
on a foreign shore, to battle for the
honor of Nebraska against a hostile
team, before a hostile audience, who
are staking their all on the result.
It is a battle of the middle west
against the coast, and the eyes of all
the United States will be upon the
Cornhuskers as they trot upon , the
field next Saturday.
Tonight, commencing at 7:30, a rally
will be held in Memorial ball, to assure
the team that their school is behind
them. If any student wants Nebraska
to lose, he will stay away from that
rally. An absence of the true Corn
husker spirit will convince the team
that it means little to the students
whether they win or not.
Every man or woman student who
does not go to that rally, is declaring
that he doesn't care what happens
next Saturday.
DAIRY TEAM WON
HIGHEST HONORS

fifty-four entrants from the nineteen
states' entered, and C. R. Snyder of
Kearney was fourth.
Prof. E. G. Woodward or the dairy
department, was the coach of the team,
and it is largely due to his ability in
showing the men how to Judge the
fine points of the cattle that the high
place was won by the Nebraska Uni
versity representatives. Prof. Frand
sen of the dairy department, accom
panied Professor Woodward and the
team of three men, C. C. Vasey of
Liberty being the third. Whether or
not Vasey placed is not indicated in

HARD PRACTICE MONDAY PRE
PARING FOR THE AGGIES
Sam Kellogg Was Lucky Freshman-
Drew Winning Number for 4,000
Mile Jaunt
With every man in the best of con
dition and a bunch of new plays to
get in mind, the football squad last
night took up the work for the third
week with spirit and something which
looked like enthusiasm.
Enthusiasm was necessary for
Coach Stewart was continually tread
ing on the heels of the lazy ones. In
addition to the usual gang of coaches
a new bunch of pep appeared in the
person of Sturzenegger, a former "N"
man. He played halfback on the var
sity of '08 and '09 and was famous for
his line-hitting ability. He proceeded
to show the backs how to get through
the line whether they were on their
heads or feet
The practice consisted in the most
part of signal practice and tackling
the dummy. A bunch of fine looking
RAWSON WHITE TO
MAKE OREGON TRIP
AS EQUIPMENT MAN
Rawson White, '18, of Omaha, will
accompany the football team tonight as
equipment and baggage man, doing the
heavy work for the team both coming
and going in caring for their bags and
baggage and football equipment. White
was appointed by the three railroads
over whose routes will run the special
train carrying the team and band.
White said yesterday that since the
news of his going has leaked out, at
least 200 wistful men students have
applied to him to help them bum their
way out to the coast. There is little
disposition among rooters to try to get
a free trip for the 4,000 miles without
a mighty indulgent friend on board.
Manager of Athletics Guy E. Reed, as
serts that there will be not a bum on
the train.
GLASS FOR WORKERS
WITH BOYS MEETS
TONIGHT FIRST TIME
The first regular meeting of the
class for workers with boys will be
held at the city V. M. C. A. tonight at
7:20. All men students who are In
terested in the boy problems of life
are invited to enter the class this even
ing. A course of training is promised
which few cities of the country can
equal.
Tbe class will study the things that
are influencing the boys and how to
deal with them. The textbook for the
course will be "Boyology," by H. W.
Gibson! The leader will be R. A.
Waite, who for eight years was an in
ternational boys' work secretary for
the Y. M. C. A. Rev. Waite has had
as broad an experience in boys work
as any man in the country.
Harry Delemeter, '15, and Howard
Delemeter, ex-'17, spent the week end
at the Phi Delta Theta bouse.
No Bamming On This Trip
Desert Too Big'a Gamble
Bumming, the sport which all football-crazed,
money-lacking "studes"
enjoy this time of the year, will be one
thing that will not happen on this Ore
gon football trip.
Manager Reed states that no bums
will be tolerated longer than It will
take to pitch them out the window
after they are found, and they will be
found if Guy has to do the finding himself.
VARSITY MEN
OREGON TRIP
plays were gone over and taught to the
backfield men and then to the line.
A New Lineup
A new lineup that is being used by
the coach has caused quite a lot of
comment. The return of Roy Cameron
has made the following lineup possi
ble: Gardiner, left end.
Cameron, left tackle.
Wilder, left guard.
Moser, center.
Dale, right guard.
Shaw, right tackle.
Corey, right end.
Otoupalik, left fullback.
Rhodes, right fullback.
Cook-Dobson, left halfback.
Riddell. right halfback.
One can see that the object of this
is to get weight in the backfield with
out losing it at the ends. Corey makes
a fine looking end and certainly will
not be very soothing to opposing back
field men.

Not many have expressed a desire to
