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 h. team to leave their home and have iv' Jivejfybody wear as mournful an ex- LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1902. 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. Paul and Mlneapolls. He wity lecture on "The Problems of Taxation," under the auspices of the University of Chi cago. His lectures are a part of a course, which includes lectures by five other prominent educators. During his absence his classes will meet as usual and the work proceed uninter rupted. Young men not taking drill are be gining to get orders from the com 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. 1 ! e
