The gates of the football field were locked last night, and the 4quad went through secret signal practice. No ono was admitted. But two days of prac tice remain until the team leaves for Minneapolis, and the gates will be closed both nights. It was evident at Bouldpr that Colorado knew more about the Nebraska signals than they should have, and coaches and captain are determined that this shall not bo repeated at Minnesota. There seems to be a general feeling prevalent among supporters of the elpven, that the varsity stands a good show of making the third time, charm, and of defeating the Gophers as they deserve. It Is a fact to be deplored that the team will not be accompanied oy a crowd as large as the one that mude Ihe .rip last year. The railroads have gone into a combine and the only rate offered Is $7.45 for a crowd of 250, and it seems likely that it will be ex tremely difficult to get that large a force together. Bender is recovering from the injury to his side received a few dayB ago, and will be In good condition to make the trip. Some of the men aro still a little sore from Saturday's game, but the damage is slight. Moloney is still in bad enough condition with his shoulder to be kept from the field. There is some prospect of having a roof placed over the semaphore to pro vide against wet weather, as last Sat urday brought forth, nnd causing the men working on it to get in out of the rain. It is now up to Nebraska to defeat Minnesota, and the prospects aro very encouraging. The shoeing made against Grinnell, considering the con dition of the field, was very favorable. While Nebraska has not tyhat might bo called a heavyweight team, still the line is sufficiently strong to with stand any opposition that so far has been hurled against it. Ono man from Boloit made a slxty fivo yard run against the Gophers. Now is the time for Bender to break his record made last Thanksgiving day and give them an exhibition of the swift foot that will surprise somebody. When It comes to punting Benedict ranks with the best of them and wo A need have nothing to fear in that line. Some real football enthuslsasm Is what is needed between now and Tues day in order to stir the men" up to greater deeds of valor than ever before. When the team left for Colorado there were perhaps fifteen people at the de pot to see them off. If you want to see Minnesota defeated come down to the train Thursday and tell them so in the most expressive manner possible. We can't all play football but most of us can yell and that 1b what Is needed at the present. Whoop her up for Ne braska and you will nover feel Borry for it. Excursion Rate Reduced. The football management has de cided to reduce the rate for tho Min nesota trip. The management has chartered a train to Minneapolis and will sell tickets at tho rate of $7.45 for tho first 250 who desire to take advant age of this offer. After that the rate will go back to the original figures of $8.15. All persons desiring to go at this rate must deposit $7.45 with Mr. Wes torraan at the treasurer's ofllce, taking receipt for the same. In case the requisite number (250) is not reached there will be no excursion, and all money deposited will be refunded on presentation of receipts. All deposits must be in by 12 o'clock Friday noon. Four tourist sleepers wll bo fur nished, the rate being $1 per berth each way Sleeper reservations can also be made nt Mr. Westerman's ofllce. The train will leave Lincoln about 5:30 p. m. Friday, arriving In Minne apolis early Saturday morning. On its return trip the train will leave Min neapolis Saturday night, arriving in Lincoln early Monday morning, thus permitting a stay of all day Sunday in Minneapolis. The Sigma Alpha Epsilon "Frat" of the Kentucky State College, offers a handsome sweater to the best all round football player of the season. Non.-Com. Appointments.

SUPPORTS UNIVERSITY J. II. Mickey, Candidate for Gov ernor, Tells the Students He Believes In Educational Centers. A largo crowd of students attended convocation yesterday to hear J. H. Mickey, republican candidate for gov ernor. Tho address was along tho lines of education, and the growth and prospects of the university wore dis cussed. After expressing his gratitude for tho opportunity of addressing tho students tho speaker took up the question of the importance of the university and Its Influence In tho commonwealth. Re ferring to tho rapid growth of tho in stitution he Bald that thirty-four years ago he took a homestead in this portion of the state, tho entry of which was tho flrst business done in tho Lincoln land ofllce. At that time the prairie was empty and covered with bunch-grass. But the plow and tho Incessant ttflT'df tho people have had their effect. A beautiful and wealthy county has sup planted the wide reaches of prairie, and elegant homes, rich churches and noble schools are the result of those thirty four years. "The free public school system is In tensely American," declared tho speak er, and then referring to the worth and grandeur of our free public school system, ho said that our late martyred president, William McKinley, set thiB forth as no ono else has done when ho spoke thuswlse: "Permanently grafted upon the pol icy and legislation of the state, It is free to all; to It all aro Invited and welcome, without money and without price. It Is supported with boundless generosity, by the people of tho state, open to tho children of the humblest citizen or exiled sojourner within our gates, as freely and ungrudgingly as to the native born children of tho most opulent. Within its Jurisdiction all distinctions, social, political and re ligious, are banished; all differences hushed, all barriers removed. It re cognizes neither party nor church, creed, condition nor station, but is free as tho air we breathe, Its bounties and benefits fall In equal measures to all." Mr. Mickey thought that the appro priations of the state for the university had been liberal and generous and that this liberality must bo continued in order to meet the demands of the new century. Continuing, he said that "The money appropriated and with prudence ex pended for the university Is not ex travagance. It Is common sense econ omy for the general welfare of the people. This also applies to the State Normal School at Peru, as well as to every public Institution In 'the state." The private schools and academies of the state, the speaker said, ought to be encouraged by the people of the state through well-wishing, because these institutions are all necessary to our great and growing commonwealth Mr. Mickey's life having been spent on tho rarm, ho took occasion to com mend tho department of agriculture and tho work being carried on there because he could bettor appreciate that lino of work. Now methods In farming will bo called for, ho said, as a result of a denser population. More Inten sive farming will have to bo resorted to, If tho needs are met. Ninety-four per cont of the graduatos from tho ag ricultural departmont going out on tho farm, as thoy do, must exert a potent Influence on tho agrlculturo of tho stato. In closing Mr. Mlckoy said: "I am proud of this great university and I predict still greator achievements for it In tho future development of tho state." Dr. Rowlands to Y. M. C. A. The young men of tho university wore addressed Sunday afternoon In tho Y. M. C. A. rooms by Rov. Row lands of tho First BaptiBt church of this city. Dr. Rowlands Impressed upon his hearers that silent witnessing is not sufficient for tho Christian. A young man in the university should let It bo known when ho arrives that ho Is a Christian. Witnessing should not bo done with offense, such as boasting nnd button-holelng students, but with rea son and decency. The speaker Bald that his oxporlenco as a minister had taught him that tho greatest place In the world for char actor building is tho college, or uni versity. A Junior Lament. One of tho best ways for a class to assert Itself and make Itself felt In tho university body is through ath letics. Tho football season is on nnd but little has been accomplished to wards organizing a football team. The men havo failed to get out. Not a sin gle practice has been engaged In. Fellow-classmen, shall wo sit on the bleachers and see somo other class carry off the championship without our making an effort to secure it? Surely a trip to Kearney Is worth while. Let every loyal Junior who has over car ried the pigskin, and also those who have not appear on the gridiron for practice this morning and hereafter at chapel time. A. JUNIOR. At a meeting of the various literary societies of the Wisconsin university Wednesday It was decided to debate with Michigan, Chicago and Minnesota. A proposition from Iowa to meet them in debate will probably not be con sidered. In the Issue of the 9th inst. tho Dally Cardinal states that the subscription to that paper is not at all in keeping with the number of students attending the university. The reason is not that tho majority of tho students do not read, the paper, but because too many of them read the same-copy. Y ; W r ,1,jiAA','.
