GETTING INTO SHAPE
Varsity and Scrubs Practice Hard
Will Be Ready for Grin
ned Put Up good
Showing.
The college team under Coach Drain
is putting up the kind of football that
will score against the varsity some
day, unless the members of the latter
manage to cIobo up their line a little
better. Big openings last night en
abled the scrubs to go through for two
three and five yards, but it didn't last
long and the scrubs came off the field
tho losers by three touchdowns. The
scrubs started the game by kicking
off to "Cort" who failed to return. Ben
edict kicked 30 yards to Kaynor, who
returned tho compliment at the next
opportunity. Bender started down the
line for a touchdown, but ran against
a circumstance and landed outside the
line. Benedict kicked to the scrubs,
who fumbled, and Cortelyou made the
first touchdown.
Cotton kicked 35 yards to Bell, who
returned 15. Benedict Bent the pig
skin down the field for 40 yards to
Raynor, who made a 2 yard return.
Raynor returned the kick and Bender
made a star run of 20 yards, but was
downed by Cotton.
The second half, Tobin for the var
sity, kicked off to the scrubs' five yard
line. On the third down with 10 yards
to gain, they kicked out to Bender,
who made a small return and a Beries
of successful plays landed tho ball be
hind tho lino.
Tobin again kicked off to the 5 yard
line and then the college team began
to play ball. Myers made a 5 yard
return and soon 5 yards more was
added on the third down. A gain of 5
yards for offside play followed and
then another 5 yards on line bucks. At
this period of the game the ball was
fumbled, but recovered with a small
gain and another 5 yards followed.
Then came a loss of 3 yards on an at
tempted end run and the scrubs were
forced to kick. Mikel made 20 yards
and soon the ball was placed on the
lino for tho third touchdown.
Tho 1st squad was increased by the
addition of Marsh, who played left
tackle. Cortelyou played end, Thorpe
was on tho field, but did not get
Into the game.
Tho game from Grlnnell will be
played tomorrow afternoon. The Iowa
men are good players and a good game
Is promised.

PRICE THREE CENTS,
ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING
Large Crowd Attends Coaches
and Captain Speak Inter
est Aroused for Grln
nell Game.
There were yells, Bongs, speeches
and npplauae at the mass meeting yes
terday; all in tho interest of football.
Prof. Wyer had charge of the moetlng
and Mr. Starr led the singing. Tho
team and coaches were present and oc
cupied seats on thp rostrum. Dean
Bcssey in introducing Mr. Wyer, said
tho latter had como to preach tho gos
pel of enthusiasm, and this fact was
emphasized throughout the meeting.
The master of ceremonies gavo tho
signal for tho university yell, and tho
Btudents responded with a spirit that
was admirable. Assistant Coach Pal
mer was then Introduced. Mr. Palmer
said a team could accomplish anything
if it had tho proper spirit. Ho was a
member of the Qrinnell team several
years ago, and although tho mon wero
light they defeated Minnesota on her
own grounds. He felt confident that
Nebraska could defeat tho Gophers if
the team was given tho proper sup
port. The speaker said ho was a Ne
braskan for tho present and would do
all in his power to defeat Minnesota.
The studonts then sang another song
after which Coach Booth was intro
duced. Tho coach said tho team had
more spirit than over before, and that
tho men would win games whon they
knew that tho university was behind
them. What is needed is more organ
ized rooting. Those who wero not in
tho game could not realizo what a help
good rooting was. Tho mon on tho
bleachers could aid in winning games
if they would get out and cheer at tho
proper times. The speaker urged those
present to get out and watch tho prac
tice, to cheer when good plays were?
made, and encourage tho men. He com
mended tho scrubs for tho enthusiasm
and zeal which they have manifested.
There was Just as -much honor In play
ing on the second eleven as in playing
on the first, said Mr. Booth. Without
a good scrub team you can not have a
good varsity team.
Captain Westover was called for and
spoke for a few minutes In an earnest
manner. He urged the students to sup
port the team; a team that had more
spirit than any team which had repre
sented this Institution In several years.
Tho men worked hard, said he. They
did not have to be coaxed, and he felt
certain that they would win tho games
If the students would do their part
Mr. Wyer then spoke of the com
ing game with Minnesota. Ho said the
railroads had made a rate of $8, pro
vided 250 would go. Many more than
that number would attend tho game,
but he suggested that those Intending
to go leave their names In order that
the management might .have some
