Practice For the Kansas Game Big
Orowd Expected Governor
Bavago to Attend. Great
Interest Manifested.
Tho football practice last evening
waB not of the best sort. Several of
the first team stand-bys wero sent in
early and kept out of scrimmage.
Stringer on account or ins eye,
Kingsbury with bis wounded knee
wore chased around Lbo fence twice
and dismissed. Both of theso bovs
will bo needed Saturday in tho mix
with tho Javbawkers. These South
erners are Nebraska's natural ene
mies on the border. It has always
given a Neoraska team untold pleas

home defeated. Thus It is that
Coach Booth is so zealous in the caro
of his students.
The 'Varsity completely smothered
tho Scrubs, but In the doing of the
need thore was lacking that quick,
-snappy play usuallv seen on -Nebraska
field, those nights. It was unques
tionably nuo in part to the novelty of
somo of tho defensivo tactics to bo
given Kansas and which good Coach
Booth saw fit to practice a few times.

the work-out. while Cuff and Cran

all it was almost tho usual crowd
that scampered over the field.
Speaking about tho Jayhawkers.
they are coming up in a bunch to
support their heroes, both with
money and enthusiasm. They can
claim somo of Nebraska's honor in
tho lights made against Minnesota
and Wisconsin if the Scarlet and
Cream go down before their prow
ne8S. Then besides this, there is that
ancient hunger for Nebraska's scalp.
Nebraska won last year. They havo
that to avenge. But when they get

something they havo never seen be

ot this will be the football team.

Cowglll has arranged to put seats on

that a largo out-of-town crowd will

Savage and Staff and other notables
will bo in Tjoxes to witness 1TI6 Mnrile
sons of Nebraska fall with tender
acts on tho representatives of their

OFFICEHS
SIGN.
Dissatisfaction is abroad among
tho recently applonted caaet olllcers.
H-indlcatlons are correct, resigna
tions will bo handed in today by a
largo number of the officers and non
commissioned officers. It was rum
ored about tho cam pus last night
that tho list would include men of
every rank. Tho greatest complaint
comes from the serceants and it Is
likely that tho bulk of tho resigna
tions will come from them,
two officers are also Baia to
templating taking the step.
The reason for tho step is said to
bo tho disregard of former rafik and
the appiontment of serveal men ovor
the hcaos ot men abo according to
the custom usually followed would
out rank them. 'The malcontents
claim that the recommendations of
last years officers were disregarded,
and men appointed to positions which
they did dot deserve.
The climax will come tonight at
drill. Tt is thought that most of
those who TntohcTto resign wOT have
done so by that time.

college chapol to prison and congrat

the studonts in chapel.
Mr. Smith after reading a few
scriptural verses, gave out as tho sub
ject of his remarks, "What Think
ye of Ch-i8t?" He continued by
saying: There aro many problems
in life, and every day wo sottlo a
question which has an influence In
our life. Especially In college llfo
where every one is so busy thoughts
come so rapidly that wo nave not
time to give them ail consideration
"but there is one thing we should not
neglect, and that is the question:
"What think yo of Christ?" If wo
do not acknowledge it now we will

God, ho said, has a purpose in
every human life, and llfo will be
narrow and small unless one gives it
freedom, t IslHrportaut to havtrtbo
