Nebraska Steps
Higher.
Dr. Williams, coach for Minnesota
expresses himself as follows: "Ne
braska played a game that would do
credit to any institution in the coun
try. Minnesota was fairly defeated.
The boys will play a much better game
before the end of the season.
Minnesota may play a better game
before the end of the season, but it
stands to reason that Nebraska will do
the same. It has been the policy of
members of the Big Nine to play their
easy games early in the season. Ne
braska was placed early in the sched
ule for that reason. Hereafter if games
are scheduled between the rival Btates
they will probably be played in No
vember. Mr. Wyer expresses himself as be
lieving that it would be difficult to
schedule games with Minnesota and
Wisconsin next season. They have
nothing to win and everything to lose
and they are afraid of us, so it seems.
This year Wisconsin scheduled a
game with Kansas but refused to make
suitable terms with Manager Engle.
Perhaps Minnesota will bluff out next
year.
Since Nebraska does not belong to
the "Big Nine" Minnesota still has a
chance of winning the championship,
but with such a discouraging defeat to
look back to her chances might be con
sidered rather slim.
Harris and Rogers are counted the
stars of the Gopher team. Harris
plays quarter back and is considered
tho best man in that place that ever
played .on the team. Rogers playB left
end, but went against the real thing
when he tried to down Cortelyou. All
the big gains were made around his
end. Westover and Mason were looked
upon as the hardest proposition that
Minnesota ever went up against and
time after time the Gopher captain
called upon his men to "look after
Westover."
Minnesota's old fault of poor Inter
ference seemed to be an important fac
tor In losing the game, while Ne
braska was especially strong In that
point. Enough has been said to show
that the Cornhuskers played the game
for all it was worth. In the language
of Captain Westover, "We came up
here to win and wo did."
The squad did not appear for prac
tice last nlgh. The men, however, are
all In good condition.
It is generally conceded that the re
cent victory at Minneapolis has drawn
the attention of more people to tho
University of Nebraska than any other
ono event In her history.
Mr. G. M. Hamilton will soon have
buttons of tho football team for sale.
Minnesota's Gate Receipts.
The gate receipts at tho Minnesota
game were about $5,000. Nebraska's
share being half of the gate receipts
and expenses being about $700, we re
alized a total of about? $1,800.
The- general admission was $1, re
served seats $2. There were less re
served seats on Bale Saturday than at
last year's game. It seems that peo
ple made a kick about the price and so
a great number of reserved seats were
filled by general admission tickets.
Not wishing a celebration on Sunday,
as would have been tho case had the
victors come home, they preferred
staying over and coming home on Mon
day morning. They spent part of tho
Sunday resting in the parks and at
Lake Minnetonka. They also enjoyed
a very delightful steamboat ride. Li
brarian Wyer's summer residence at
Minnetonka was visited and all the
Cornhuskers registered.
They left Minneapolis Sunday even
ing at 8:30 p. m., on tho Northwestern.
A little white dog, having been an
interested spectator of the game, be
came enamored with the Cornhuskers
on account of their splendid playing
and forthwith determined to follow
them to the train and become their
companion ever after. The boys, after
learning of his intentions, decided to
accept his services as Mascot.
Academy football.

hands of the scrubs last evening to the

VARSITY MEDICS MEET
New Organization Lays Plans for
future They Intend to
Do Something This
Year.
Tho medical society of the university
met Thursday night In M. 301. Com
mittees were appointed for the coming
year and matters of general interest
were discussed. It was decided that
Thursday night of each week would
bo tho most convonlent time for the
society meetings and that one meet
ing each month should be open to all
who might care to attend.
Since the new department in medi
cine holds such an important position
in the university it was thought best
to appoint a regular reporter, whose
duty it would be to make a press report
of all meetings. The president, how
ever, deferred the appointment of the
reporter until next meeting.
The medics evidently Intend to make
their influence felt In the university,
for they are contemplating selecting
colors, a pin and getting up a yell. Be
sides this, they are to put out a football-team,
If plans materialize.
The finance committee consists of
the treasurer and two other members
of tho society Mr. Foster and Miss
Farnsworth. Messrs. Stanley, Rowo
and BIckford were appointed to con
fer with tho Sombrero board with ref
erence to the securing of space In the
Junior book.
After the business was disposed of
Miss Farnsworth read a paper and Dr.
Wolcott dlscusBed briefly the value of
medical societies to the success of
practicing physicians.

Second Day's Celebration.
The Nebraska football team received
an ovation on their arrival yesterday
that was a worthy tribute to their
victory at Minneapolis. It was a
spontaneous expression of university
spirit and gratitudo and was given in
a measuro that may amend in a way
for all past differences.
Announcements had beon mado to
tho effect that classes reciting at 10:30
would not meet. This was to glvo
assuranco to tho student body that
nothing but a good round reception to
tho football boys would bo expected.
Had anything else been oxpected, tho
professors would have been disappoint
ed for unlvorsity students and town
people flocked about the B. & M. sta
tion by tho hundreds and thousands.
Tho university band which occu
pied a position to the east of the sta
tion, kept up lively tunes, while tho ex
pectant and Intensely excited crowd
yelled and shouted and beat back and
forth in waiting for the delayed train.
A band wagon, uniquely trimmed
with corn fodder and scarlet and
cream bunting, was placed In a con
venient place to receive tho Nebraska
visitors.
When the train arrived Coach Booth
and his men wore carried on tho
shoulders of sturdy men through the
noisy crowd to tho wagon, which was
drawn up P street by a long lino of
students on a 50-foot ropo. The pro
cession, led by the band, turned down
Tenth, then up O street Hero tho
ropo received an addition of 100 feet,
which was quickly taken advantage of
by tho enthusiastic crowd. As the wa
gon wound down Eleventh and back
to O by M and Twelfth streets, eager
crowds packed the sidewalks and filled
the windows. Flowers were showered
upon the team while tho students along
the ropo gave the cadence by "six, six,
six," and "naught, naught, naught."
Turning up Eleventh Btreet, tho wa
gon was drawn at the run to tho uni
versity gate.
When the team arrived at the chapel
they were again tendered an ovation.
The platform was decorated In scarlet
and cream and cornstalks. The whole
team, coaches, trainers and manager,
occupied the chairs. Roscoe Pound
had charge of tho doings. Professors
Fling, Caldwell and Wyer made timely
talks. Rev. Wharton spoke upon de
mand from a front box. A picture of a
log cabin with real dead gophers
drying on the wall was displayed. Tho
crowd yelled Itself hoarse and demand
ed of the plqyers to talk. Each one
received recognition as well as mem
bers of the substitutes. Assistant
Coach Palmer stated it was one of tho
best celebrations ho had ever seen. The
crowd left tho hall shortly after 12
o'clock. It was packed the closest
and held the biggest indoor demonstra
tion ever witnessed upon the campus.
The reception given the team at the
B. & M. depot, the magnificent parade,
and the exercises at Memorial hall, all
go to show that football ia to receive
more universal support by tho student
body and the citizens of Lincoln.
