MEN WHO GO NORTH
fiotball Players Picked for Min
nesota Game Big Crowd
Should Send Team
Off.
Secret practice, was short last night,
and the squad went to their quarters
at 5 o'clock. Better work was done than
on Tuesday night. The Bcrubs suc
ceeded in reaching the varsity's ten
yard Hue, and gained five yards on
straight lino bucks, but losing the ball
on downs, they soon saw It disappear
behind the opposite goal. Cortelyou,
who received an Injury in last night's
practice, was not in the game. His
place was taken by Thorpe. Cotton,
who has been showing up well in the
scrub line, and has been admitted to
the training table, played with the var
sity. Cotton plays good football and
much may be expected of him in the
future. He is only seventeen years
old, but possesses plenty of beef and
is no pigmy in stature. Borg was not
in the practice. His place at center
was played by Tobin. Bender ap
peared on the field in his toggery, but
did not get Into the scrimmage.
Orders have been posted in the gym
nasium giving a list of the men who
will make the trip to Minnesota. Cap
tain Westover, Cortelyou, Shedd, Foll
mer, Wilson, Mason, Ringer, Tobin,
Borg, Cotton, Thorpe, Bennedict, Ben
der, Bell, Mlckel, Hazen and Engle
hart will be accompained by Trainer
Jack Best, Coaches Booth, Palmer and
Drain, Dr. Mayhew and Manager En
gel. In all there will be a party of
twenty-three. The men will appear
for practice at 2 p. m today. The prac
tice will be open, and should be attend
ed by all who are able. Supper will
bo served at the training table at 4:45,
and the team will leave at G, via the
B. & M. The train leaves at such an
?our that it ought to bo within the
power of nearly everyone In the uni
versity to escort the men to the depot.
As the Dally Nebraskan has started be
fore and will probably continue to
state during the entire football season,
the football team needs enthusiasm
and lots of It to help it along. If
you've got any college spirit about you
at all, come out and show it.
It is all vory well to build a bon
fire on the campus, tear up a few
trolley care and otherwise- enjoy your
selves in case the team does win the
game, but that is only a very small
part of what our spirit and enthusiasm
should be. That 1b one way of show
ing th- you appreciate the work of the
team, flat how Is that going to do them
any good after the game is won and
they are 500 miles away? If you want
them to win, come out and help them
do it. It will cost you nothing. Every
thing will be free and if the crowd
shows up it can give the team a Bend-
off that will last them until they come
back victors. It certainly does not help

pre8sion as it 1b possible for them to
command. If you think Nebraska will
be defeated come down to the train
and you will be Bhown that others
think different.
Basket Ball.
Fourteen men reported for basket
oal I practice Tuesday. Manager Hllt
ner picked a team composed of Elliot,
liyrs, Ferguson', Gilbert and Beera.
These men were lined up against teamB
(ompnped of other members of the
la.-s In forty minutes play only two
fu.il throws were scored against them,
while they threw goals almost at will.
Mr. Lane, assistant physical director,
umpired the game.
While no old varsity men are back
the prospects for a good team this
year are not discouraging. Ferguson,
Myers, Gilbert, Noyes, Hoar, Beers and
Elliott are all experienced pkiyers, and
good material.
Junior Class Meeting.
The Juniors met in University hall
yesterday at chapel time. The attend
ance was good and an enthusiastic
meeting was held
Miss La Duskie Salter was chosen
secretary to fill the vacancy left by
the resignation of Thos. Flemming.
The president was authorized to ap
point two committees, one of five to re
vise the ol ' constitution and an ath
letic committee of three, whoso duties
will be to assist the class team ofll
clals in their work, and keep the class
posted and interested in class ath
letics. Ernest Allen stirred up the class
over the Junior Annual, with a short
spicy talk, and the rest of the time
was devoted to arousing football en
thusiasm .
Wilson. Allon, Davis, Johnson, Huse,
Hewitt and others were called out and
responded in words which were re
ceived with great applause and other
manifestations of approval.
Two curious underclassmen groped
into the meeting and soon afterwards
hurried from the hall with a string of
Juniors at their heels. Some of the
ladles were then called upon and they
responded in the proper spirit and
promised their hearty co-operation In
all class affairs.
Prof. Ross to Lecture.
Professor Ross leaves next week on
a lecture tourwhich wllllncludo Kansas
City, Omaha, St. Joe, Des Moines, St.

other prominent educators. During
his absence his classes will meet as

mandant. Over 400 are registered In the ladles'
gym classes. This Is an increase of
125 over last year. From eighty to
one hundred more freshmen are taking
the work this year than ever before.
BOARD VISITS CHAPEL
The "Nebraskan" Advisory and
Editorial Board Talk
ABout the Uii.
Paper.
Convocation yesterday was given
over to the interests of the Daily Ne
braskan. The student attendence was
large an 1 unBiial interest was shown
In the discussion. Addresses were
given by Dr. Ward, who Ib a member
of tho board of directors, Mr. McCaw,
managing editor of the Daily Nebras
kan last year, Mr. Hill, the present edi
tor and Mr. Wyer, secretary and treas
urer of the board of directors.
Dr. Ward in his introductory re
marks called attention to the Import
ance of the daily paper In our college
life. Some of the students, he de
clared, do not know tho position that
the Nebraskan occupies or the value
that Is derived from It. Most of them
have seen the paper, but the proba
bility 1b that the copy belonged to
Bomebody else. At any rate the sub
scription list Is not large enough to
include the entire student body.
Speaking of the success and the or
ganization of the Daily, Dr. Ward said
that it has attained a very high degree
of success, for the brief tjmo that It
has been published. Although it has
been great In the past in the future
It will be greater.
The Dally Nebraskan means more
to the outside world, asserted the
speaker, than to tho students of the
university. It is the only means of
communicating to the public what goes
on within the walls of the Institution.
It represents tho college life as nothing
elBc can do. There are publications
that do not represent the Institution
or organization by which the are Is
sued, but this cannot be said of the
Nebraskan.
Dr. Ward directed attention to tho
unique organization of the stock com
pany controllng the paper. The man
agement of the Daily Nebraskan is In
the hands of an advisory board, which
Is made up of members of the faculty,
alumni and students. The paper itself
Is owned and operated by a stock com
pany and tho stock can be obtained by
anybody who may desire It. In fact,
said the doctor, they have been in good
demand.
Mr. McCaw spoke briefly on the ad
vantages which the student may gain
through connection with such a paper.
The college paper, he said, is a good
practical school for those who expect
to take up journalism, as a profession.
Mechanical work, such as punctuation,
capitalization and newspaper style
can be practiced as well on the college
paper as anywhere else, because they
are merly a mattr of habit. The stu
dent also gains readiness In writing
and soon learns to be clear and con
cise. Mr. Hill gave a resume of what has
been done in the newspaper field in
tho university and showed how the Ne
PRICE THREE CENTS-
braskan has grown out of tho wholo
fifteen publications which have, at dif
ferent times, appeared since 1871. Tho
Dally Nebraskan, he declared'ls" tho
cheapest dally college paper In tho
United States and yot Its circulation Is
not large. In fact tho subscription list
Is smaller than It has over beon bo
fore. Mr. Wyer urged the students to glvo
firmer support to the college paper and
lamented that tho faculty had taken so
little Interest In It. He said that every
student should be alive to the interest
of the paper, because it means bo much
to tho Institution, and to the students
as a whole. Mr. Wyer thought that it
Is Incumbent upon all who are con
nected with the university to aid tho
paper In pecuniary ways, and with
hand nnd mind. Not only In material
ways should they furnish support but
with spirit and enthusiasm. That goeB
a long way, as is seen on tho foot
ball field when the rooting squads are
active. If every one would do his
duty there would be no question as to
whether the Dally Nebraskan would
remain tor not. It would continue and
grow InVlmportance as the institution
Itself advances.
Library Additions.
Professor Wyer of the library board
has received from the University treas
urer $3,585 as the result of new ma
triculations this fall, also $844 from tho
diploma fees of the graduating classes
last June. The total amount, $4,429.
will bo spent by .the board for tho
purchase of new books for the gon
eral and departmental libraries. In
addition to this the Board of Regents
appropriated $1,500 for the same pur
pose. The library board purchases about
5,000 volumes annually. Since Profes
sor Wyer's appointment as librarian
19,000 volumes have been added, mak
ing the total number of books now In
the library over 55,000. Since tho close
of the school year last Juno, shelf
room for 8,000 volumes has been added
In the general library and for 1,000
volumes In tho new medical reading
room, which la on the second floor of
the library building. This is open only
for use of Btudents in the medical de
partment. Wlillo the library loses a great many
books the loss la only temporary. When
a certain book is in great demand it
usually disappears, but shows up again
when the rush is over. The actual
loss each year averages less than
fifty books.
Professor Wyer does not offer his
course In bibliography this semester,
because of the lack of room and help,
but there has been such a demand for
It that probably some provision will
be made for giving the course next
semester.
The faculty study room Is a new fea
ture of the library this year. A room
in the basement has been reserved and
elegantly furnished for the use of tho
professors. Here they may go and
study or chat without the annoyance
of students "butting" in.
First year work In ladies' gym classes
will not begin until next week.
