PRICE THREE CENTS. i FRACTICt fOR BOULDER first and Second Teams Contest Hotly Cortelyou Expected Back Team Leaves Tonight. The 'varsity and second teams linod up last night for the fiercest practice of the season. Drain went in as quar ter for the scrubs and Tohin played center Johnson appeared on the field for the first time, and played end on the scrubs. These men proved a aluable addi tion to their strength, and it was only after thirty minutes of the swiftest and hardest kind of playing that the 'varsity piled up three touchdowns against them. Briggs played right tackle during the first half oT the game, his place being taken later by Captain Wcstover. A telegram from Spencer Cortelyou states that he will be on hand this morning leady to fill his old position of end. "Cort" gained the reputation last year of being the swiftest and surest end in the west, and his return will be a cause of great rejoicing on the gridiron. Hell has been working out at quarter, and will be ready to till that position, should Benedict be come disabled. Both are good at punt ing, and the clasB of work put up by them last night is gratifying to coaches and captain. The entire squad was photographed last evening, after which the members of the first team lined up before the camera. A notice has been posted in the gymnasium to the effect that those who hae been playing in the first scpiad shall have theh'Telves meas ured for suits, not later than October Xth. A second notice orders them to prepare tor the. Colorado trip. The men who leave for Boulder tonight are: Folliner. Westover Molony, Borg, Ringer. Wilson, Shcdd, Benedict, Ben der, Mickel, Bell, Eager, Tohin, Briggs and Englehart. It has not yet been learned over which road the team will go, as transportation is sent from Col orado, but they will in all probability leave this evening, arriving in Boulder Friday morning. This gives them one day to become acclimated. Considering the great difference in the altitude of Lincoln and Boulder, one day seems hardly sufficient, but under the cir cumstances it will have to suffice. The 'varsity has been working out well, and no fears In regard to the result of the game are expressed. The names of Mickel and Benedict have been added to the list at the train ing table. According to an exchange, the base ball team of Princeton will have F. O. Pearson as its captain during the com ing season. Pearson is an all around, athlete and a player on the gridiron as well as on the diamond. He was first baseman on this year's All Amer ican team. Commandant Captain Chase.

Yesterday at 3 o'clock the senior law class met and elected officers for the ensuing semester. The candidates for the presidency were (-has. A. Sather and John Everett. The friends of these men had been canvassing the field for several days and an intense interest had been aroused. The vote stood Sather 3f, Everett 31. Mr. Sather was then called on for a speech. He took the platform and expressed his appreciation of the, honor bestowed up on him and his gratitude to the mem bers of the class. The other officers elected were: Vice president, L. A. I)e Voe; secretary, Bruce Fleming; senator, L. H. McKil lip. Each one made a short speech. College Settlement Board. The regular meeting of the College Settlement board was held Tuesday af ternoon.

Among the matters considered was the lecture of Miss Stone, the mission ary who was recently released by Bul garian brigands and who is to lecture In Lincoln Friday evening, October 21, In the interest of the Settlement. The athletic board of Minnesota Uni versity has decided not to Issue season tickets. TJie general admission price for all the games will amount to five dollars. MORE ROOM NEEDED Board of Regents Hold Meeting and Decide Upon Budget for the Coming Year. The regents of the university met Tuesday afternoon to consider the budget for the coming year. Regents Rich and Calkins were not present. As the legislature meets this winter and the univeisity budget will come before its consideration, preparation Is being made for It. The university has grown so in the last two years that the pres ent accommodations are Insufficient and the expenses can scarcely be cov ered by the present appropriations. The board will ask the legislature for $250,000 to be expended in new build ings and equipment at the farm and upon the campus. The farm Improve ments will require $100,000. The build ings for the most part at the farm be long properly to the experiment sta tion and the agriculturists do not have enough room to carry on their work. Two years ago plans were well for mulated for the spending of nbout $100,000 upon the campus. The allow ance was made by the legislature, but for some reason or other was vetoed by Governor Dietrich. Tills action put the university Just so much behind the demands made upon it constantly. The amount covering this expenditure has been in the hands of the state treasurer for some time and is only waiting an appropriation to put it to use. It will be used In the creation of a building for physics and one for the executive offices and large lecture rooms. The board easily sees the necessity of constructing buildings with larger rooms to accommodate large classes. At present some classes are with the utmost difficulty divided so that all may take the lecture work under the same professor. It is aimed by (The regents to provide better facilities and more room for the law school. The whole north wing of main hall may be put to the use of the law school. The present one mill levy provides for about $182,000 and will be asked for en tirely to cover running expenes. The only money asked for outBido of the amounts on hand and that obtained by the levy Is that to be expended at the farm. A special committee of horticultur ists appeared before the regents, ask ing that more accommodations be placed at the disposal of students in horticulture, Including more green house space for winter study and more rooms for tree culture and recitation work. Provision will probably be made for this. Phi Gamma Delta held Initiatory ceremonies Tuesday night. Wlllard Kimball, jr., Fred Hurtz, Harry Whar ton and Ed Adams were the candidates. Watching the Comet. The classes In astronomy are now watching with the telescope the little comet which Is traveling across the constellation Cassiopeia from night to night. It was discovered at Lick ob servatory September 1st, and was then invisible to the naked eye. It has been Increasing slightly In brightness and Is now barely visible to the eye If you know exactly where to look, appearing like a faint, slightly hazy star. On the next public evening, which will be next Monday, the comet will be the object shown through the tele scope. The comet will continue to Increase In brightness slightly for a week or two, but will finally be lost to view by Its approach to the sun. It will pass the sun on November 23d. Ross Addresses Students. Dr. Ross addressed the Btudonts at chapel yesterday upon the effects of the South African war. He said that the improvement in weapons had changed the method of warfare. Formerly armies contended at shorter range. He Insisted that there was a great advan tage in long range weapons. The pos sibility of killing an approaching en emy was much greater if it was in range fifteen minutes than It was if it was in range five minutes. It has been estimated that one hun dred men using modern weapons could defend a position against nine hun dred In an attacking party. Dr. Ross said the effect of this would be to ren der small nations more secure. A small country like Switzerland need not fear Germany or England. A system similar to the feudal system of former times 1j likely again to pre vail. In commenting upon the Increase and decrease of population in different countries, Professor Ross said that In countries where a democratic govern ment prevailed the birth rate and also the deatli rate was decreasing. He as signed as a reason for the former, that where there was opportunity for ad vancement on the basis of merit pa rents raised fewer children and gave them more advantages. The decrease In the death rate was attributable to better sanitary conditions. Episcopalian Club. A movement la being set on foot by some of the Influential Episcopalians in Nebraska looking to the erection of a structure near the university on T street, which will be made the head quarters of all student members of the Episcopal church, who will be organ ized Into a club. Bishop Williams, of this diocese, strongly favors the plan and Chancellor Andrews has expressed his approval. If present plans do not miscarry the building will be construct ed during the coming year and the club organized at the opening of the uni versity next fall. So far seventy students have regis tered in the Y. M. C. A. Bible courses. ' -V ll . ' i -v n M s r.UH
