Returned.
The football team left at 6 o'clock
last evening over the Burlington for
Boulder. Transportation for the team
was sent from Denver and did not ar
rive until 11 o'clock yesterday morn
ing. Manager Engle was uncertain of
what to expect. It was even feared
that the transportation would arrive
too late for the team to go at all.
All hopes for a rate at the eleventh
hour were given up Wednesday and
the team left unattended by support
ers. A squad of fifteen men makes the
trip undor tho guardianship of Man
ager Engle and Coaches Booth and
Palmer. Tho train which carried the
team is the Denver flier and makes
only a few stops between here and
Denver, arriving there at 7 o'clock this
morning. After a rest of an hour
and Ave minutes the remainder of the
trip will be made on the Colorado &
Southern. The team will arrive at
Boulder at 9:30 this morning, and will
have a day and a half to rest up and
become accustomed to conditions. The
-game, which will be played Saturday,
Is the most important on Colorado's
schedule, and excursions will be run
from all the Important points around
Boulder.
Spencer Cortelyou arrived in the
city yesterday morning and went
into practice last night. "Cort" has
been traveling since Monday and con
sequently was in no condition to ac
company the team. Hewitt, who has
been trying for half has gone out of
practice and will not play any more
this season.
Northwestern Has Trouble.
There is trouble in the football camp
of Northwestern University, and a
number of the strongest players threat
en to leave. For several seasons foot

instead of Sheppard field at tho uni
versity. By this change they hoped
to get a larger down town patronage

Now many of the faculty and officers
of the university are raising a howl
against taking tho games from the
university grounds. The matter still
remains unsettled.

He expressed his appreciation of the
honois of the oftlce and his desire to
be a competent executive. He an
nounced himself an athletic enthusiast
and said he was In favor of the adop
tion of a set of rules which should gov
ern inter-class athletics and thus avoid
disputes as to holding the champion
ship. He would do everything possi
ble to secure the adoption of such a
set of rules. His words were greeted
with a storm of applause.

Nebraska Man Recognized.
In a recent German periodical (Bo
taniBche Jahrbuecher) Professor Eng
ler, the eminent Gorman botanist,
praises the collection of plants made
by Dr. Clements la Colorado. He
speaks of it as "extraordinarily in
structive," and recommends it as a
pattern for other botanists. "With
these specimens," he says, "one is able
to obtain an altogether excellent no
tion of the character of the vegetation
of Colorado." Such praise from this
source is very gratifying to Dr. Clem
ents' friends, since it is well known
that foreign scientific men are not
much given to recognizing the work
of Americans.
Clifton Carter, '02, is visiting friends
in the city.
All the language classes are being
pushed as fast as possible into con
versational work, especlaly in Ger
man and French.

Refuses Salary Increase.
The Board of Regents-4t thoir Juno
session increased the salary of Chan
cellor Andrews from $5,00 to $6,000.
The extra $1,000 has been refused by
the Chancellor, with tho Implied state
ment that with tho financial condition
of tho university ho feels It not for
him to add another burden to the pres
ent ones.
It will be roraembered that Chancel
lor AndrcwB was offered a like posi
tion nt Wisconsin at a larger salary.
Howover, he refused, stating ho felt
a larger field lay before him In Ne
braska and that he was needed more
here. At the tLme a mass meeting of
students and faculty succeeded In mak
ing good an increase over the then ex
isting salary. However, this was not
pushed. The Regents then endeavored
to Increase tho Balary of tho Chan
cellor to a figure more closely agreeing
with thoso of other largo Institutions.
Tho following letter was sent to tho
Board of Regents by Chancellor An
drews at their last meeting, and is
self-explanatory:
"To the Hoporable Board of Ro
gents of tho State University Gentle
men: While deeply sensible of your
kindness In recently advancing my sal
ary and believing that the new figure
Is not greater than a Chancellor of
this university ought to earn and re
ceive, I am unwilling, so long as tho
university is compelled to tho rigid
economy it now exercises, to accept
for my services any higher remunera
tion than I have hitherto had, and
therefore beg permission to continue
for the present to be paid at tho old
rate. Very respectfully yours,
"E. BENJAMIN ANDREWS,
"Chancellor."
ThlB is another one of the Instances
in the life timo of Dr. Andrews that
ho has made some personal sacrifice
for reasons higher than selfish mo
tives. Chancellor Andrews displays to
a greater degree than ever his effort
to do what he believes to be right.

ing and Mr. Hans Theodore Weater

ated with greenery and was well filled

coln for some time. The bride was at
