athletic board 8. D. Clinton was elected
manager of track athletics for the com
ing season. It was determined to con
Btruct a new grandstand about 200 feet
in length on' tho west sldo of the
present fleld in the , center. The

The probabilities of transferring tho
Missouri gamo of Novembert9 to Oma
ha was talked ovort , Omaha alumni
and friends wbroTnade this proposi
tion: A guarantee of $600 and tho
permission of the tlgors to change the
game from Lincoln to Omaha. Those

ed 50 cents should this bo done. The
board also authorized a new board
fence along the north side of Ne
braska field.
Practive last night was encourag
ing. The 'Varsity played with old-time
vim and energy. The scrubs were en
tirely outclassed for tho first tlmo In
several days. Captain Westover was
not In uniform, but coached tho play
ers In citizen's attire. Coach Booth
was on the fleld again. George Shedd
played half for the first time since be
fore the Minnesota game. Koehler
filled center again. Bender did not
line up owing to the condition of his
shoulder. The feature of practice was
StrlgeVs goal kick from fleld. Both
he and Plllsbury punted well. Tho
'Varsity scored thrlco in fifteen min
utes' play, Coaoh Booth says he in
tends putting tho team through from
now until tho Wisconsin game. Sat
urday's conflict with Ames Is not con
sidered dangerous. Nevertheless somo
good football may be expected. Ames
Is putting- up good ball, as may be
Judged by her score ,12-0, with Ioww
laBt Saturday at Iowa City. t)r.
Knlpe's protegees won, but Ames gave
them a run for their money.
A rooting section will be reserved for
megaphones and yollers Saturday.

wob against Notre Dame, whon ho took
Captain Dlotz'a place in tho lino.
Machesnoy was injured In tho Notre
Dame contest so that ho has slnco been
unable to play ,and Mauorman had his
log wronched in tho practice last week
so that he has not nppoarcd on tho

Schciner, who had his leg wrenched
early In tho season, was again at prac
tice yesterday, and will bo behind the
line in tho Illinois game Saturday.
Hanson will be out again today, and
will play the other tackle position in
the Illinois game. Tho practice yes
terday was light, but from now until
Frlday Hollistcr will give tho men tho
hardest kind of work.
Daly, who will tako Machesney's
place at right end, played the position
in the Michigan game, and his work
there was strong, both In offense and
defense. Daly Is several , pounds
hoavior than Machesnoy, and is per
haps a little shiftier on his feet, but
he is without the experience of the
oldor player.
The second team M Play the
Northwestern university medical team
at Evanston next Friday. Several of
tho 'varsity substitutes are in the med
ical school, nnd will play against the
scrubB.
The Chicago Record-Herald gives
the following account of football work
In various colleges: .
MICHIGAN.
Although the 'varsity did not line up
for scrimmage work today against tho
scrubs the "no loafing" sign was still
hung out and Yost put the team
through an hour of tho hardest kind
of signal practice. Not a man on tho
team showB the least sign of stiffness
or lameness as a result of Saturday's
contest with Northwestern. Forest,
Dickie and Horgan were promoted
from the scrubB to the 'varsity today.
They are heavy linemen and THe sig
nal practice today was mainly for their
benefit.
After Saturday's game the expenses
of officials nnd advertising were taken
out and Dr. HolllBterwas given $775.25
as his share of the net receipts of the
game. As his guarantee only called
for $400, with an option of half tho
net gate receipts, ho loft Ann Arbor
In a much happier frame of business
mind, than ho fiad whon the-"demonetized"
dollar ''admission controversy
was in progress.

Thoro is doubts of his being able to

HEW PLAN FOR DEBATES.
17 nivoraity Sonatc and its Commit
tee, Endorses an Improved Plan
for Contests. Team Work
to bo Emphasized.
Tho proposition that tho Unlvorslty
of Nebraska glvo credit for tho rlgpr
ous training which it la propoaod to
glvo the members and alternates in
tho Interstate tcdms this year, has
been passed on favorably not only by
tho Unlvorslty sonato, which votod last
Friday to Indorse tho plan, but also
by tho committoo on courses of study
to which the senate roforred tho mat
ter for arrangements as to how much
credit should be allowed. The com
mittee last Monday adopted tho plan
as it was originally submitted to tho
senate last Friday by Mr. Fogg. This
plan gives three hours' crodlt on tho
second semester for tho nine raomuorB
of the teams, the three alternates, nnd
ono or perhaps two second "teams"
who will be organized Into a special
class In debate which will start work
at the -beginning of tho second somes
ter Immediately after tho Interstate
teams are chosen, and continue until
the last intercollegiate contest takes
place late In April or In May.
This very Important action of the
senate and committee will, It is ex
pected by University authorities espe
cially interested in debating interests,
put debating on a moe substantial
basis. In tho first place It will natur
ally bring into the debating work a
larger proportion of tho ablest stu
dents in the University, some of whom
have not striven for the high honor
of representing tho University in the
intellectual arena because thoy felt
thoy could not give the tlmo neces
sary for training unless they got credit
for It.
The now plan Will' also' ensure stiff
systematic training for the Interstate
teams. Under the criticism of the In-,
structor In charge of the regular train
ing In argumentation and debate, and
that of the other members of the fac
ulty who are associated with him In
the two debating courses, tho teams
will be held to hard training in actual
debate, especially in team work and
rebuttal. One state team will be put
. against another and second teams
ngalnst first teams.
The now system of controlling de
imtes. will naturally havo tho effect of
putting thej?,e cqnlests on a .firmer
basis than over before. The board sys
tem of control will insure better busl-
j-ness management entirely free from-
petty politics. The now credit sys
tem will sqrvo- as an inducement to
men. wlio arc strong intellectually to
enter tho contest It will bo the con
stant endeavor of thoso at the. head of
debating to make them intellectual
contests rather than more talking
matches.
ROOTERS WILL QRGANIZE.
A meeting will be held tonjght at
tho Alpha Theta Chi fraternity house
to formulate plans and make arrange
ments for a University rooters club.
Each studont' organization ln, the
University; including fraternities, so-
I clerics and the law s'cliool. will be xepV
resented by at least two members, Who
will bo considered delegates to such
a mcotlng.
Tho business to bo takon up is tho
olectlon of a president, socrotary and
"head rooter," Tho band will also
bo represented as they havo entered
into such a scHomd. It If expected also
that Professor Wyor, Coach Booth,
Manager Cowgill and Captain Wcst
ovor will bo present besides others
Intorestod in such n movoment and
who havo had experience In such mat
tors. After this an active campaign will
be . Inaugurated to "boom" college
spirit and "rooting"."
An effort will bo made to obtain tho
use of tho obapol for an hour or more
Thursday and Friday to get Into prac
tice especially for tho Amos gamo on
Saturday and also to coraploto a largo
organization of "rooters" In tho Unl
vorslty. . -
JUNIORS TO WEAR CAPS. '
Tho Juniors held a olaBU mooting in
tho old chapel yostorday morning to
decide whothor thoy will. wear "caps"
as the sonlors havo always dono. This
is a new practice In ,thc University and
the proposed Innovation provoked con
siderable discussion. Tho matter was
left to a special comraltteo to be ap
pointed by tho president. The commit
tee nppointcd was Dowitt Hanson and
S. E. Black. The chairman was also
authorized to appoint a committee to
collect money to creato a fund for this
season's football expenses.
