&h concluded' Mutt II Is bi'Ht for himself
not to try nnil play any moro this season.
However, quite a number aro showing

them aro come very promising mon. Vo

to the sport, their physique makes up for

He Is a Swede by birth, and Is showing

noted baseball pitcher Is back to tako up

inat unless something turns up In a

It Is hardly likely tlmt anyone will uso
any persuasion to pet him out. Ho hns

Two places tlmt will bo tho hardest to

Other places on the team have somo very

Tho Iowa mnnngor Is trying to back out
of his former agreement to play tho
Thanksgiving game at Lincoln Instcud
of Omaha, Tho outrageous terms do
mamleil by the Omaha tnunngors, have
led to somo corresponding on tho part of
the inunugors of the two tennis, and It
was praotlbly agreed, that unless tho
terms were reasonable, tho Kamu this
year was to be played In Lincoln, and
tho Kamo next year, In Dos Moines. Tho
Iowa mnnnKur bus been talkhiK to Homo
Omaha "business men" nnd It looks as
If they had subsidized htm.
Word Is still waltliiK to bo received
from tho Council muffs football team, as
to whether they will accept our terms and
play us tomorrow at that plnce.

U Is understood that tho athletic bonrd

this will not bo iidherlnK to tho rules of
tho bond. These state that Kamcs aro not
to bo cvheduled with professional clubs,
"Whllo It Is rather late, Mr. Oury says that
he Is quite willing tlmt tho bonrd should
tako this action, ns ho feels confident ho
could arrange better dates with regular
college teams, possibly with Mlchlgnn.
Sevoral more or less Important foot
ball games havo been phtyed during tho

close, tho strength of each team. Tho

Manager Oury telegraphed last own

versity tenm, thnt ho would nccept their
terms and date. Tho terms were qulto
liberal and a choice of dates was offered
that mndo a selection ensy. Novcmuor IS,
Is the day that has been selected, which
falls on Wednesday. Correspondence
with tho university of Illinois will bo bo
gun, and there Is no doubt in tho mana
ger's mind, but that a game can ho so
cured with thnt Institution nlso.
FRESHMEN MEET.
On last Friday tho clnas of 1W)0 mot for
tho Hrst tlmo . As It was a special meot
Inr for business, tho election of olllcors
will bo hold nt the regular meeting on
Friday Octobor !. Tho freshlus waxed
warm at their first mooting ns regular
collego students. An attempt was mndo
by tho now students to ovorthrow tho
old class organization, holding that tho
class had not boon a regular university
class on w.ount of tho prop dopartmont
which they bolongcd to lost year, nut
tho ox-props would not listen to tho now
students' doslro so tho business was car
ried on as tho class of 1CHJ.
Tho froshmon aro not behind In old
tlmo lobbying, as sovoral candidates
vho had novor before been soon In cluss
mooting, camo out and placed thorn
selves ut tho door roady to ask for sup
port. ANOTHER DISCOURAGEMENT.
Word wns received yesterday, that on
account of a failure of an Iowa bank,
Mr. Hanson, father of tho football play
er, will havo qulto a considerable of his
money tied up Indefinitely. This will prob
ably necessitate his son's return homo
an added dscourngement to tho football
coaoi and manngor.

Porter for scuretnry, and J. V. '.. Cortol
you was given tho Important olllco of

Although tho professors who huvo boon
members of tho athletic board during tho

Artillery and Cavalry men AVII1 AVear Un
iforms that will bo heard.
That Captain Oullfoylo Intends to mako

change from tho ordinary, was tho an

that when the new adonimonts appear,

NO CHANGE IN WEATHER
But tho Weather Department Has
Changed Itsoif.
MADE GOOD IMPROVEMENTS.
Tho United States Government Put
In
tho Improvements, mid It was
Done lu tho right way
The Changes.
Whllo a number of departments In tho
dllToront parts of tho campus have boon
Improved during tho summer by ndorn
monts nnd nddltlonnl working facilities,
nono havo boon qulto so kindly treated
as tho weather department, which, al
though located lu one of tho stato build
ings, Is In reality a United States oilico
nnd is run by United States omployees.
It Is probably on this account that
tho Improvements thero havo been so
oxtonslvo.
About two yen rs ngo, Geo. A. Loveland
was sent to this station by tho govern
ment to net Jointly with Professor
Swczey, stato meteorologist, In tho print
ing of bulletins and other data In tho lino
of weather observations. Mr. Love
land's push gradually brought first ono
Improvement and then another to thlj
station, such as a commission to isstio
dully maps and making local forocasts,
until ilurlnK tho present summer tho
work being dono here wns greater than
that done In Omaha and many other
largo cities. About this tlmo Willis G.
Mooro tho uhlof of tho wcathor bureau
mndo a visit to this station with tho In
tention, as was afterwards learned, of ro-
movliiK It to Omaha. Ho was so pleased
however, at tho work being dono hero
and at tho facilities In tho line of rail
road servlco for getting out tho dally
maps promptly, that Instead of removing
tho station, ho decided to Increase It anil
put In tho most recent improvehents. So
It was not long beforo workmon wero
at work and tho beautiful ofilces and
well nppolnted work and mailing rooms
wero the result. '
Tho first Improvement was tho chango
of tho map making process from tho old
mlleogruph process to the chalk-plato
process.
Tho first map by this process made In
this olllco wns made August G, and slnco
then up till October 1, the press has .been
run by foot power. Now, however, a
line Wosttnghouso motor has bcon put in
and maps as well us other printed mat
ter is run off at a lively rate.
As for tho offices, they havo bcon en
tirely nhnnged. Tho old cast entranco
to Nebraska hall has been closed up nnd
tho floor of the main building extended
to the end of tho building. This makes
a fine, well lighted, mailing room which
Is used by tho weather bureau and tho
experiment station Jointly. Tho old
room 14 has boo partitioned off Into threo
rooms. Tho llrst, opening from tho hull
by tho old double doors is dovoted to
tho dopartmont of motcorology and ast
ronomy under Professor Swczey, and tho
next opens by a single door a llttlo far
thor on and Is used for tho display of
self-registering Instruments used for re
cording tho weathor conditions; and for
tho prlvato olllco of the section director,
Mr. Loveland. Opening from this room
In which aro tho typo cases, press, motor,
saw, and other things used in Issuing
printed matter.
Tho ofllco room is nicely carpeted and
decorated. Tho Instrumots horo on ox
hlbltlon aro Interesting und woll worth
going to .see. Thoro Is also In this room
a long distance toliphono by which tho
messages aro received from Omaha.
