On account of business and professional cares, many of the stars of former years find it impossible to get together for a game. However, "the 'Varsity will line up for a half against rt strong picked team. Fol- yoars upon the Red Oak high school team of Red Oak, la., when that team held the championship of the state. Ho also played upon the second team last year at guard. He weighs 160 lbs. and plays a strong, speedy game. Reynolds weighs 190 lbs. and will easily outclass any of his opponents at tackle. Ho plays a swift, hard game and can always be counted on for gains. His four years' training while on the Lincoln high school team and last year with the 'Varsity squad have taught him all the "foxlness" of the gridiron. Slark Fell received his preliminary lowing this the Lincoln high school and Peru Normal teams will play a training on the York high school team game and it la probable that the game between the University third team and the high Bchool scrubs will bo called off. The 'VarBity was badly shattered last night, as only five of -the men were able to line up for scrimmage prac tice. Stringer, Kingsbury, Brew and G. Shedd need only a few days' rest until they will be able to play again. Cortelyou and Captain Westover, how over, are still under the doctors' care, not having recovered from injuries re ceived in the Minnesota game. Ow ing to the weakness of the 'Varsity they were not able to scoro against the scrubs, although a kicking game was played almost exclusively. C. Shedd's tackling was very good and he was down the field on a punt almost as fast as the ball. On the scrubs, Eager and Cuff, the half backs, played fine ball and made steady gains, espe cially through the 'Varsity's tackles. Maloney was in his uniform last night for the first time since the Tarklo game, where he was hurt. He filled his old position at left guard. The squad received a now addition last night. Donohue is a heavy man who will probably try for a position at tackle. Wild rumors were afloat yesterday morning of a $3.25 rate to Milwaukee. It proved-false, however, as no rate under $10 has been made. The rail roads Beem to be holding together on this rate and the probabilities are that no great amount of cutting will be done. As yet no bids have beeen received by the management in regard to the training table, but it is hoped that it will soon be arranged. MAY TRY A NEW PLAN. Debating Association Considering a Radical Change in Method of Choosing Debaters. A Debating Board. association. Thero la somo talk of giving up the Colorado debate and entering a contest with Iowa. Nothing; definite has boon done regarding the contest with Leland-Stanford. THE SOPHOMORE TEAM. The sophomore football team is now organized and rapidly getting Into con dition for the coming contest with the freBhmen. There are at least twenty candidates for the team who under stand football and play in good form. Probably no class has ever had better material for a team than has the class of '04. Among the most prominent players are Ike Raymond, Eager, Brlggs, Reynolds, Clark, Bell, Walton, Hood, Beard, Melick, Newton, Myers, Borg, Longeey, HYicke and Allen. Raymond Is too well known among University people to need comment. His powerful kicking and line bucking aro qualities well known. Eager's play at half is as swift and daring as that of any University player. His end runs cannot fall to net long gains and help very materially In piling up the score.- Briggs played full and half for four He is light, but quick and nervy to the backbone. He played a star game at end and half last year. Walton, candidate for right tackle, weighs 175 lbs. and has played a strong, Bteadj game all year at tackle and half on the second team. Newton has played both this year and last, at guard and tackle, on the second team. He weighs 190 lbs. and Is a strong Una man. Hood plays a plucky game at quarter and handles the pigskin well. Ho is in the pink of condition, having played baseball all summer and football all fall. Beard has had considerable ex perience at football. He was captain of the Aurora high school team in 1900, where he played half. Last year he played quarter on the freshman team and sub-quarter on the second .team. He Is a good tackle and could play end. Borg Is a candidate for center. Ho weighs 190 lbs. and though new at the position is showing up in a very sat isfactory manner. Longley has had four years' exper ience on the Schuyler high school team. He weighs about 165 lbs. and has played a good game on the second team all year. Fricko will try at quarter and end. He weighs 150 lbs. and learned the game at Plattsmouth where he played half back on the high school team. Allen is an old half back who played four years In York. He weighs about 150 lbs. Myers and Melick are now at the game, but are showing up well In practice. Wilson, captain of the team, will play either end or tackle. Upon the whole the outlook could not bo brighter for a good team. Every man is determined to make the team a winner. ' It is the intention of the manager to arrange for several outside games to be played before snow flies. CHEMISTRY NOTES. During Mr. Hiltner's absence next week at Ames, Profedsor Nicholson will deliver a course of lectures before the assaying classes in metallurgy. The department has recently re ceived a shipment of about seventy-five Bamples of gold, silver and lead ores, from the state sampling works at Idaho Springs, Colo., through the com pliments of Geo. C. Howard, '99. v John Thomas, a student in assaying, has donated to the museum. some fine samples of copper ores from the Eu reka district of Nevada. At the next meotlng of tho Debat ing association an entirely new plan tor choosing tho contestants in the pre liminaries will be proposed. If adopted, It will do away ontiroly with tho club preliminaries hold last year. The plan In detail is as follows: Tho choosing of thirty men who may enter the contest for places on tho In terstate team8'ls to bo left to a board of nine irfembers. This board wljl be made up of four faculty members, the president and the secretary of tho de bating association, two othor student membors and the instructor in charge of debating. Tho president and secre tary of tho association will act in a like capacity on this board. The details and methods of choosing the men will bo left to the board as will also all other arrangements as to holding the debates, places on tho team and preliminary training. Ev erything relating to the management of the debates will be under control of this board. In making up the standing of the men both the work in the debating clubs and general standing In their classes will be con sidered. The opposition to this plan comes largely from new men and men from other colleges who have no standing in the University. The adoption of this system would result In shutting them out of the debates. Most of the oppo sition naturally comes from the junior law class. It is urged in support of the plan that it will prevent all such wrangling as took place laBt year over places on the team, plub debates, . etc. There was considerable dissatisfaction last year Over the method of choosing con testants by means of club debates. It is not only a cumbersome method, but is not considered fair by the larger clubs. The latter, point to the fact that one club with only six entries in its preliminary could choose the same number of contestants as tho club that had sixteen. There Is some talk of forming the most likely debaters into a club and allowing them to show their skill be fore the board. This is not an essen tia, part of the plan, however. The matter 6T giving credit for de bating work will come up before the University senate at its meeting this week. It Is probable that two hours' credit will bo allowed to contestants in interstate debates. As soon as the debaters are chosen they will' be formed' into a class and will undergo a thorough drill on the questions that they aro to debate. "The debate with Iowa is still in doubt. It is not quite certain whether the offer which came from that in stitution' was from the University de bating association or from a single so ciety. It appears that there are two societies there and that either of them is authorized to negotiate debates with sister states in the name pf the CHANCELLOR ANDREWS SPEAKS ON MILITARY DRILL. Chancellor Andrews addressed tho students yestorday morning at chapel on the subject of military drill. He first explained tho attltudo of the Uni versity authorities toward excuses from drill. He said it was their pol icy to excuse only on grounds which would be accepted by tho United States authorities. Tho drill is required by a national law. The most common ex cuses woro physical disability and conscientious scruples. Theso would bo accepted as valid by tho University authorities. The Chancellor emphasized the im portance of this part of University" training. Ho said that whllo it was proper to call it military drill or ser vice, a largo part of It Is no moro mili tary than gymnastic. As such he de clared it to be one of tho best forms of gymnastic exercise, partly because it is carried on in tho open air. Young mon should consider It a privilege Ho did not believe that the purchase of uniforms was a hardship in tho long run. r j Dr. Andrews also spoke a word to those who took up military drill in the propor frame of mind In earnest. He urged them to be faithful and prompt in all they wero asked to do. He believed that all who took tho work ' would, at the end of tho yoar, vote their time well Bpont. Ho asked every one to be faithful in all physical work whether military or gymnastic. In closing, the Cbancollor urged, students to Improve the opportunity of doing good work during the early part of the year. After Christmas time, ho said, tho year is badly brok en up and not as good a time for hard work as this part of tho year. STUDENTS SUSPENDED FROM MISSOURI UNIVERSITY. As a result of a hazing scrape twenty-nine Btudents have been sus pended from the University of Mis souri Their re-entrance la dependent on a written apology to L, L. Thomp son, the hazed student. The story of the hazing Is that Thompson was captured on the cam pus and a sack thrown over his head. He was then marched back of the University and made to go through numerous ludicrous antics, much to the merriment of his captors. He was under the impression that he was be ing initiated into the Phi Phi frafeT nlty. As soon as ho discovered that he, had been duped po reported th6 matter to tho authorities with the result that all of his tormentors were suspended. The-following young ladles were in itiated in to the mysteries of Kappa Kappa Gamma at the home of Miss Laura Houtz: Mabel Stevens, Edith Cocke and Ruth Wilson of Omaha. Olive States, Elizabeth and Nancy Cunningham of Lincoln; and Edith Shedd, of Ashland. After the initia tion the new members were banqueted in true Kappa style. x 1 l ."' 1 A - Cfl Ml .ii .n it 'A &. , 'u ( 1 i !, "3 v.-Ta ..' u ;! l;W . , H -- t i V r.t r- ''A X- v.
