State Uni versity News
Outlook For 1900.
The athletic board has no bad debts
hanging over it. No disgusting quar
rels marred the pleasure of the Inter
collegiate football and baseball games.
Dignity and courtesy was carried out
by the student managers.
The faculty members on the board
have been diligent and faithful in
helping to direct the work, so that
clean men and honest workers may
represent the university in athletics.
There is one department In the uni
versity which not only is winning a
name for itself, but helping to brace
up every other department; that Is the
work of physical training.
The boys and girls who .took gym
nasium work regularly three times a
week are heard in class when they re
cite. Their voices are strong. They
soon acquire full confidence in their
own power and that insipid false mod
esty is soon lost.
The gymnasium boys and girls are
recognized in the law colleges, in the
musical conservatory and in every pro
fessional line. They are wide awake,
cool-headed, good-natured students.
If the gymnasium work and three
or four years of vigorous training in
elocution and voice culture were obli
gatory upon every student, there would
be better class records because the
professors would not have to guess at
what the students are talking about.
There would be more powerful lectur
ers, like Dr. Fling and Dr. Ward; more
orators like E. H. Smith; more win
ning voices like Guy Talbot's, and
more singers like John Randolph.
So early in the season Nebraska
never had better prospects for a win
ning football team. Captain Brew
seems to have plenty available ma
terial in view, Manager Tukey has an
elaborate schedule of games arranged
and Coach Booth comes with an en
viable reputation as a guard on the
Princeton team and has the confidence
of his pupils in advance. Discord, the
deterrent factor for last year's team,
will be almost entirely eliminated this
season from all outward appearances.
An entirely new set of men control this
feature of the university this year.
from captain and manager to athletic
board. The old differences will be for
gotten, school will be placed above in
dividual reputation, and all will work
in harmony for the interests of the
institution, each man securing his
place and "holding it through merit
alone.
The most serious losses to the team
will be Benedict and Pearse. The fleet
half-back, who has furnished the spec
tacular feature of Nebraska's game for
the last four years, will be the most
difficult to replace. There will be a
number of aspiring candidates for his
moleskins, however, and prospects
promise no diminuition of the effec
tiveness of the men behind the line.
Four or five available men are in
sight for the position left vacant by
Pearse, among them being Pillsbury,
of the victorious '98 team; Fisher,
Doane's crack tackle in '97; Gilbert, of
Nebraska's '98 team, and Bollen, a new
man in Nebraska circles, a member of
the Tabor, la., college team in '97. He
weighs over two hundred at present,
and plays above 190. He is one of the
most promising men In view at pres
ent.
There are so many old players In
prospect that spirited competition is
evident. The fact that a man once
held a place on the team is no rea
son he will retain his place this sea
son. Beginning witn center, K.oenier,
who held that place last season, will
have to outplay Welsh of the Omaha
high school who was considered a hea
vy, ready and scientific player for his
experience last season. Captain Brew
is accorded his place at left guard
without question. Ringer will have to
compete with Gilbert, who took Han
son's place in the Kansas game two
years ago, Pillsbury, one of the heav
iest and best all-round athletes ever
in the institution, and Bollen. West
over will no doubt retain his position
at left tackle. Right will be a free-
for-all with chances about even for
Gilbert, Pillsbury, Bollen and Wallace.
Drain and Cortelyou will both be back
to work for their old places at either
end. It is rumored that Stringer will
be in school again and that he once
more aspires to gridiron honors. Ryan,
who tried for a place last year and
failed, has been spending his vacation
in the mountains, taking long walks
and dieting himself with the firm in
tention of winning and holding a posi
tion this fall.
Ex-Captain Williams Is said to have
a desire to play quarter. He will have
for competition "Stub" Crandall and
Manager Tukey, both of whom played
the position last year, together with
Gordon, McKillop and Hooper. .Hoop
er is heavy, nervy and possesses a fair
understanding of the" game. ' It is too
early to attempt even a guess as ' to
the identity of the" successful man.
Kingsbury will be expected to take
a place at right half this year. He is
quick in starting, heavy, runs low and
fast, is hard to tackle and plays an
admirable game on the defense. Foil
mer is expected back to try for a posi
tion behind the line, probably left
half. He showed exceptional form In
'98, and at the close of the season was
one of the most prominent figures on
that famous team. At fullback Carver,
Bollon, Bell and Gordon are In sight.
With all this material there is ev
ery reason for optimism, especially
when it is known that Coach Booth
is to have tne assistance of a number
of graduates and former students.
Wiggins, the famous Nebraska end of
days gone by will be down from Oma
ha every week and lend his aid in
building up that portion of the line
In this work he will be assisted by
Rev. Mr. Manss, formerly of Yale, who
did much last year to patch up mis
understandings and get the men to
work in a hard and efficient manner,
Ex-Captain Melford will be employed
in the city until after the close of the
season and may be relied on to assist
in every way. possible to put out a
winning team. , A training table is
now one of the probabilities, also.

Memorial services in honor of Mrs.
L. A. Sherman were held in the chapel
Sunday afternoon at 4:30. The ser
vices were conducted, under the aus
pices of the Women's Faculty club. .
In a few brief remarks Chancellor
Andrews expressed for the university
the deep sorrow felt, because of the
loss of one of Its noble characters. . He
noted how difficult It is to do just the
thing desired by the departed ones on
such occasions. He said: "We can
not say one word to them to ask them
what they would have us do. We do not
all love to confess our debts, but we
enjoy confessing our debt to this no
ble character whose death we mourn."
It was explained that ex-Chancellor
MacLean was prevented by serious ill
ness at home from being present and
speaking in memory of Mrs. Sherman.
His manuscript was read by Mrs.
Hodgeman, which expressed the grief
of Chancellor and Mrs. MacLean, and
stated in part, that their comment
should be taken not as eulogies, but
as a just tribute to her. unselfish char
acter. Incidents were related show
ing what a devoted life of faithful ser
vice she had lead among sick and
needy students.
Dr. Wharton's touching remarks
emphasized the sphere of influence ex
ercised by this devoted woman. In
her life she was especially a beauti
ful character. She was beautiful in
face, beautiful In mind, beautiful in
spirit. Her life was devoted to the
home. She was a mother content to
decrease that those she loved might
Increase. He noted one instance of a
student sick with scarlet fever, who
was deserted for want of a nurse, who
received the personal care and ser
vice of Mrs. Sherman. "Many a boy
can feel the touch of her hand on his
brow when he had the fever."
Miss Mulliken read a loving and
fitting tribute from Delta Gamma so
rority. These girls loved Mrs. Sher
man "for her simplicity and unassum
ing modesty." "Her gentle dignity
and sweet modesty made every girl
love her. . She took the deepest per
sonal interest In every member."
In behalf of the Woman's Faculty
club, loving sentiments were read by
Mrs. H. H. Wilson. This organization
mourns the loss of one of God's noblest
women. Her's was "a life nobly lived;
a death met in patient fortitude."
"The seeming tragedy of her death
was in the apparent incompleteness of
her life work. But who shall say it
was not complete."
A deep sympathy and keen benevo
lence was the key-note of her life.
She Is mourned as a friend, whose
life was enriching and ennobling.
Mrs. Sherman's favorite hymn was
sung with touching effect by Miss
Holmes.
