HIGH SCHOOL DEFEATED
'Varsity Eleven Proves Too Strong
for the Lincoln Aggrega
tionPlayers Show
Up Well.
The first practice game by the Lin
coln high school was played before a
fair sized crowd Saturday. At the end
of forty minutes of swift playing the
score stood 26-0 in favor of the varsity.
Although the playing of the high
school men was up to its usual stand
ard of excellence, they were unable to
cope successfully with the superior
strength and skill of the wearers of
the scarlet and cream.
The most promising of the varsity
players were all given a chance to
show their ability, and the line-up was
subject to continuous change. Cap
tain Westover went into the game
during the first half, but retired in
the second to watch the playing of
his men. Benedict played quarter dur
ing the first and gave a fine exhibition
of his punting which won the contin
ual plaudits of the crowd. In the sec
ond half ho retired in favor of Morse,
a player of some reputation. Bender,
having an eviable reputation both on
the football and baseball field, was put
into the game at his old position of
half, and proved to the entire satisfac
tion of the crowd that a season's work
on the diamond had not made him
forget how to play football. During
the short time that he played he had
two touch downs to his credit. Eager,
Bell and Hewitt were also tried behind
the line to good effect. Ollle Mickle, aJ
famous high school man, kept his po
sition at full throughout the game.
The varsity scored only one touch
down during the first half, and the
high Bchool men felt encouraged to a
greater expenditure of effort, but af
ter Bell, Bender and Mickel crossed
their goal for four touch downs the
game was up. It was a kicking game
from start to finish, and from time
to time the pigskin was sent down the
field for thirty or forty yardB.
The team showed up well and both
coach and captain feel encouraged at
the prospect for the season's work.

Chancellor Dispenses Advice.
Chancellor Andrews in opening the
new college year on Saturday morping
extended a hearty welcome to the
faculty and to both old and new stu
dents. He said he was glad to see them
all back again to again nil the uni
versity with life.
In speaking particularly to new stu
dents he advised them to not bo slow
in asking advice and counsel of the
faculty. "Do not be afraid of the
professors," .he said. "They are al
ways glad to help you when you are
in trouble." While the faculty are al
ways hard at work they are willing to
take the time to put others to work.
He said that everyone In the univer
sity was expected to work and if they
didn't they would hear from the higher
powers.
The chancellor then in a Joking way,
but seriously, also, brought up tho
old question of keeping the campus
clean. He said he feared it sounded
like an ojd story to older students, but
he directed his remarks mostly to tho
new students. Be careful of the cam
pus he cautioned, and call anyone
down whom you see littering it with
any kind of refuse. He insisted that
the campus could be made the finest
in the. country If there was some co
operation on the part of students.
Delta Delta Delta gave the first danc
ing party of the college season in
Fraternity hall Friday evening. This
is a new place for such affairs of the
season, and the novelty was not a
small feature of the evening. The
affair was entirely informal, about
seventy guests being In attendance.
Dancing was continued until the early
hours of morning. A light punch was
served during the evening.
Mr. Klrkpatrick of the school of
music Is playing the organ at the
First Presbyterian church. He has
been spending his summer months In
study in New York state.
Glee Club Will Meet.
Every man Interested In glee club
work and male chorus singing must
bear In mind that on Tuesday evening
at 7:30 In the old chapel the organiza
tion of tho University club will be
perfected and the work started off for
the year. Prospects were never
brighter for a good club and if the
spirit of the young men In school will
hold out as It is manifesting itself now
Nebraska will not take a back
seat with anybody.
It will bo remembered that the or
ganization was made permanent last
spring with D. D. Stull as president,
and N. G. Elliott as secretary and
treasurer. Besides the officers of the
new organization those who are the
most Interested In the club are very
confident of the year. Mr. Starr of the
conservatory will have charge of the
work and wll begin testing voices im
mediately. Letters have already been
received from alumni of the univer
sity congratulating the latter upon the
re-organlzatlon of the old varsity
"screechers."
More Students Register,
MORE STUDENTS REGISTER
Registration returns took another
turn on Friday and Saturday and
mounted to a higher figure than at
former years. For some unassignable
reason those entering the university as
well as the older students have been
slow in arriving on the grounds. By
tonight the expectation Is that regis
tration figures will far exceed those of
former years.
The following are the comparative
figures of the fifth days for last year
and this year:
1901 1902.
Total matriculations 421 579
4th and 6th day's m'tr'ulat's 117 294
Total registrations 1,175 1,098
4th and 5th day's reg'sft's. 502 501
Out of the total number of matricu
lations sixty-two should be deducted as
entrances Into the Omaha medical
school, and also the total figures given
includes those entering the law college.
The latter number about fifty-two up
to the present date. It will be seen
then, that the present matriculations
number about ten per cent in excess
of 1901
The reason the higher class stu
dents are Blow is because of conflic
tlons and because of an aptitude to put
things off until the last moment. As a
result the office force is expecting a
big rush at the last minute today,
sarily, have been delayed In getting
sarily, have been delayed with getting
their line of classes shaped into work
ing order and those will rush In at
the last moment.
The Thetas held a ping-pong tourna
ment at the Atwood home on South
Seventeenth street on Saturday after
noon. The contestants were arrayed
against each other until the final
game was won. Refreshments were
served during the later part of the
afternoon.

Young Men's Reception.
About two hundred men gathered In
the armory Saturday to celebrate the
annual new student reception given by
the Y. M. C. A. Owing to the gen
eral Inclemency of the weather a small
er crowd was on hand that was expect
ed. The first event of the evening was
a math game- of ping-pong, between
Coach Booth and Professor Caldwell.
As there Is considerable disparity be
tween the statures of the two gen
tleman the match was very exciting
and drew out shouts of applause. The
score resulted In a tie, both winning
an equal number of games. Other
games were played, among them one
between Mr. J. I. Wyer and Director
Coats of the city association.
Shortly after President Ringer called
