SOME fOOT BALL TALK
Necessities to a Winning Team
Point of View of a Foot Bail
EnthusiastTimely Ad
vice to Players.
Tb- athletic hoard, the captain, the
coach, the manager and ever player
miiHt work hard, early and late and
ahove all" muHt worlr together. The
athletic board can bo counted upon to
do its part, It .has funds Enough on
hand to permit' overy legitimate ex
pento which will help mako. a bettor
team. It has no money to waste in
oxtravagence, none to throw or to
give away, but it can do more this
year than ever before to supply some
ot the deficiencies in outfit and train
, inr; tybjebj haxo. plated hitherto.
The eaptalnnothirig 1b lacking
here. Captain Wcstovor is the only
man who has been honored by two
terms as captain and those who know
lirm best and have watched his han
dling of last year's eleven the most
losely, will unite in saying that the
honor came to him because he stood
out above all other players as the
man fur tho place. Ho knows football
from tho ground up, plays a heady
t;ame and has the respect of every man
on the team. Mr. Hooth will for the
third Pucecssive season be the varsity
head coach.. The record of the (.earns
of 1000 and 1901, teams which have
lost no games except to Minnesota and
Wisconsin, is ample testimony to the
efficient discipline and telling work
of our popular coach.
Our success, ot course, despite good
captain, good coach and competent
management, must in the last analysts
depend upon the players themselves
and our prospects are not so bright
in this respect as we could wish
Sovfrnl players "who were towers -of
strength to thd teanvl&Bt year -will -heJ
abaon,t this season, Indeed it seems
likely" that more new men will make
up our team than for the ia.st two
seasonp.
With this prospect before us a few
words to the football squad from which
the varsity will be chosen, maj not be
amiBH
If you are going to play football, and
If you have any signs of promise In
you or any Inclinations whatever in
that direction we want you to join the
squad, begin at once and stick, to it
as hard and as steadily as if you were
working for Phi Beta Kappa.
Come out at the first call, come out
to every practice and do painstaking
and strenuous work.
Tho best things you will get out of
lootball is its discipline and the physi
cal and mental betterment, hlch
rorao from close, steady practice of
any worthy thing. Yqu cannot achlevo
theso reuultB in the fuUes degree If
you come out only two or three times
a week, or come twenty minutes, late at
evory practice.
Your "spirit"-will be one ofthe chief
points considered in selecting men for
the varsity squad. .Mo matter how
much knowledge of the game you may
have or how experienced you may be,
your value will depend chiefly on your
willingness to subordinate yourself to
coach and captain and make your in
terests secondary to those of the
team. Don't play football for a
sweater, for the trips which you i.iay
take with the team, for free admission
to all games.
Play because you love to play, be
cause you want the drill and the dis
cipline which come with it and be
cause you are proud to represent Ne
braska on victorious fields.

Second Day of Registration Shows
Light Results-New Students
Well Handled Citizens
Uae Bureau.
The second day's work in the execu
tive offices was productive of a higher
registration, but Btlll not an Increase
over last year. The new students as
well as old seem slow about getting
registered and are tardy in presenting
themselves at the registrar's desk.
The following is tho comparative
registration for the samo day last year
and this:
1001, matriculations 105
1002. matriculations 103
1001, registrations 101
1002, registrations 151
1001, total matriculations 202
1002, total matriculations 102
1001, total registrations 342
1002, total registrations 288
The office force was continualy biiBy
from early morning until 5 o'clock In
tho afternoon, the regular closing
hours. Those in charge of registration
feel highly gratified at tho smooth
ness at which the registrees have been
handled, there being no hitch in any
way, and no crowding or jamming.
However, there has been no rush yet
ond tho registering clerks may still
have an opportunity to display their
ingenuity in handling a large crowd.
With tho use of the new system of
registration the days of "rushing" of
previous years is a thing of the past
and by considerable lessens the spec
tacular pail of entering college for
the first time. As one member of the
registration force said. "It Is more bus
iness like than ever attempted pre
viously In the history of the Institu
tion. It Is more like transacting bus
iness with a banking house than any
thing else, this registration." The
main halls are crowded, however, with
numbers of old and new students, the
first ones greeting old friends and aid
ing new ones, while the latter are hav
ing their first experiences of colege
life. The old-time noisy crowd of
hustling professorB and students has
given place to an orderly procession
passing in one door of the registra
tion office and out of the other.
Y. M. C. A. bureau of information
was kept busy throughout the day
with the multitude of applications
made to it for work and placeB for
room and boarding. The business men
and housewives of Lincoln are realiz
ing more every year how much the
university means to them and are Im
proving the opportunity offered them
of getting help of all kinds from young
men and women who are conscientious
In their work because they have an ob
ject in view in life. Along with tho
bureau work the association is con
ducting a campaign for Bible and mis
sion . study class registration .

University Improvements.
During the summer months the uni
versity has had a number of Import
ant changes made In the arrangements
of the various departments. With the
addition of the medical course the
zoology department finds itself pressed
for room. Accordingly tho room for
merly occupied by Professor Druner
with tho work Ir. taxidermy has been
given over to n laboratory for anato
mical studies. The taxidermy labora
tory has been placed In new quarters
on tho third door of the mechanics
hall and in tho southeast corner. Now
windows hae been cut in tho roof
ami the room arranged especallly for
this line of work In tho anatomical
laboratory. It has also a cement
floor.
In mechanic arts hall rooms Nor.
301 and 308 have been divided and
partitioned off making four rooms for
class room work. The latter will thus
make two drawing rooms for the me
chanic students. Chairs will be placed
In the middle of the rooms for class
lecture work.
The ladles' rest room has been ma-,
terlally Improved during tho Bummer,
being tinted and repainted. With the
changes It is one of tho most delight
ful retreat b on the campus and will be
a fitting place for the young ladles to
gather and where they may tako their
friends and visitors at the university.
The office of Miss Barr has undergone
the same general improvement The
ladies' locker room is also tinted and
redecorated.
The office of tho commandant of
cadets has been thoroughly cleaned,, re
painted and redecprated .
In the library building the room
formerly occupied by the renders for
Profefsor Fling in European history
will be used this year conjointly with
the readers in English literature. The
room, previous to this year used by the
alter will bo placed at the disposal
of. the new medical department and
will be used as a departmental library
in medicine. Several hundred books
belonging to the Nebraska medical
society were remoyQ( during the sum
mer to the city library, where they
will be more at the disposal of the
general public. The university medW
cal library will be increased aa it b
seen fit. Dr. Peters of tho state farm
has given a valuable set of medical
books to the department.
While the university buildings wer6
in tho least use the gas, water and
steam pipes have undergone- many
changes and tho whole system haa beoi)
submitted to a more or less thorough
overhauling. The campus connections
have also been Improved.
Tho old students will notice the Iron
railings which have been placed during
the summer. These will necessitate an
occasional lengthening of the way
across the campuB and have been pot
up to keep the people off the grass,
and the consequent .wearing do'n qf
paths across the campus.
Tho benches about the campus will
Lbo Insured a new lease on' life nn'd
popularity by the new amy ot paint
which has been administered to them
recently. )
