TO PLAY MISSOURI NEXT
Nebraska Players Will Go South
on f rlday A Rate to St.
Joseph Mas Been
Made.
The next gnme of the season will bo
played Saturday with the Missouri
Tigers at St. Joseph. The team will
probably leave Friday over the Missou
ri Pacific-. As yet no definite arrange
ments have been made with the rail
roads in regard to an excursion. The
Missouri Pacific is contemplating mak
ing a rate, and so far it stands at
$2.95 for the round trip, providing a
party of 200 can bo obtained. In case
a lower rate is secured there will prob
ably be a large number of rooters
and supporters of the team ready to
accompany them.
The Cornhuskers have little to fear
from the Tigers in next Saturday's
game. Judging from the score rolled
up ngaliiBt them by the Redskins last
Saturday they don't know any more
about football than they did last year.
The Haskell Indians can play football,
as everybody realizes that 'saw the
game last Thanksgiving day, but It
seems only reasonable that Missouri
should be able to make some kind of
a showing against them. It took the
Indians just fifty minutes of easy play
ing to defeat them 40 to 0, and with the
memory of their recent victory fresh
in mind, the Cornhuskers should bo
able to do as well or better. The MIs
sourians lack in team work and al
though much was expected of them In
the way of punting, they have failed
to show any ability in that line. They
fumble often and are slow In passing
the ball. Kirk, who plays full back Is
the best kicker on the team. During
the Indian game he received Injuries
I'll at compelled him to retire. Maupln
nd Ardinger did the work after that,
lut failed to make a success of it.
During the game eighteen Tigers
were tried out. Repeated changes
' were made, not because the men were
unable to play their part. Blrney, quar
ter back, Jb reported to be a good play
ed. Livingston and Taylor, also play
well, but are unable to establish a rep
utation for the whole team.
Saturday's line-up was as follows:
Left end P. Smith.
Left tackle Jesse.
Left guard Hoff, Landon.
Center Chllders.
Right guard Hayes.
Right tackle Ellis (capt.), Berk.
Right end Perry, L. W. Smith.
Quarter back Blrney, Taylor.
Left half Hoogan, Livingston, Blr
ney, Wolff.
Right half Ardinger.
FftH back Hoogan, Kirk, Maupln.
Class football teams practice every
day at chapel time.
Manager Engel is making prepara
tions .for rates to MIbsouH. A- large
number have ovpressod their desire to
go, and a low rate Is expected.
Short football Practice,
The teams met for regular practice
on the field last night. All of the men
appeared and are apparently llttlo the
worse for Saturday's encounter. Shedd
wears a bandage around his head, but
was In the game. Both the teams wero
photographed by Hamilton and Cor
nel. After a little preliminary signal
practice the varsity lined up against
the scrubs team and pushed them at
will across the field. The game between
the academy team and tho Sophomores
was postponed.
The team will play the following
games before the end of tho season.
October 25, University of Missouri
at St. Joseph.
November 1, Haskell Indians at
Omaha.
November 8, University of Kansas
at Lincoln.
November 15, Knox College at Lin
coln. November 27, Northwestern Univer
sity at Lincoln.
Dr. Stein to Students.
Rev. Stein addressed tho students at
convocation yesterday on "Mysteries."
The gist of his remarks wero as fol
lows: We are living in a world of mystery.
The little we know, tho much wo do
not know. The element of mystery in
heres in all tilings about us. Wo could
find clearness in physical things, If we
could anywhere, but the physical world
abounds In mysteries, when wo como
to study It.
We all believe In the existence of
matter and the atomic theory, In prav
Itation, and tho exlstonco of ethor, by
tho undulations of which light is
transmitted, but we believe in them
because it Is the only rational thing to
do and not because we comprehend
them. The production of dissimilar
chemical compounds, from similar con
stituents, the irregularity of the ex
pansion of water, contrary to universal
law, animal existence and tho trans
mission of though by voice and ex
pression, all offer problems, unsolved
and to us unsolvablo.
Wo must accept these things as they
are and he who says ho will not accept
what ho can not see, is either a fool or
is not sincere, for he does It every day.
There have been mysteries, however,
which have been solved, but, as ho who
can know the mystery of flowers must
lovo them, so he who solves nature's
mysteries must have a sympathy with
her. Nature will only discolse to a
sympathetic ear.
Tho same persoveranco and will
power that Is neccaeary in accomplish
ing all great things must bo exercised
In the search for truth. In order to un
derstand things we must Beek the truth
for truth's sake. If we do this we will
find mysteries revealing themselves to
ua as we go through life.
The Lincoln academy football team
elected a captain yesterday. Mr. Stein
was chosen by a unanimous vote.
The chemistry department will send
six Students to Ames, Neb., to make a
test of sugar beets for the Standard
Cattle company.
WORK AT SETTLEMENT
Clubs and Classes Well Organized
Students Interested in
the Work future
Pnspects.
College Settlement work is now fair
ly well started. Clubs and cesses are
scheduled for every evenglng In tho
week. During the past week a class
in arithmetic has been started by Miss
Glover. Mr. Harry Posten conducts
a class In grammar. A class In history
has also been started, with six students
at the first meeting. Each class moets
for an hour one evening each week.
Last evening Miss Lally organized a
girls' class In vocal music. Beginning
next Monday she will have a class of
boys in vocal music, followed by a
class of girls each Monday ovening.
Tho sewing school for girls met for

ris, teachers.
The Jane Adams club for older girls
meets on Wednesday evening In charge
of Mrs. Prevey. The club for little
girls meets on Monday evenngs In
charge of Miss Burlingim.
The Antelope Valley Boy's club
shows tho most vigorous growth of
any feature of tho settlement work. At
tho last meeting, Friday evening, thir
teen new membem were Initiated, mak
ing a total membership of forty-seven.
The club at the last meeting organized
two football teams, one for largo boys
and one for the small ones, and It Is
hoped that some one from tho univer
sity may be secured to coach tho teams.
Tho tendency toward disorder and
boisterous play which was evidenced
at tho beginning is gradually disap
pearing. The boys' clubs are In charge
of Mr. Harry Posten and Russell
Moore.
It Is expected that a class In drawing
will bo started this week by Miss Gor
der, and a class In clay modeling by
Miss Clara Walsh. The class In man
ual training which It was hoped could
be started this fall Is still delayed for
lack of funds with which to finish the
basement It Is hoped that after the
lecture given by Miss Stone at the aud
itorium Oct. 24th, that this work can
be immediately pushed forward.
All the work of conducting the clubs
and classes has been done gratuitously
and the managers feel very much en
couraged by tho assistance being
rendered. A meeting of all the work
ers and of those interested in the work
is called for Saturday afternoon at
4:30 at the settlement house. Mr.
Prevey will apeak at that time of the
alma of settlement work. The aim will
be to co-ordinate the different features
of the work.
The class in household economics
have drawn plans for tho eonstruction
of cellars.
Church and Club House.
Rev. BonJ. J. Fltz, of St. Luke's
Episcopal church, acting In tho inter
ests of tho laity of this diocese, Is ne
gotiating for tho purchase of tho lots
immediately east of tho church, 1217
T street. Ab soon as ho la able to se
cure tho lots, arrangements will bo
made for tho erection of a new church
upon them, and upon the foundations
of tho present edlflco tho projected
club-houso will be built. Tho building
will cost in tho neighborhood of $20,
000, as it is the purpose of thoBo sup
porting the movement to conduct tho
work on a fitting scale, when onco
they havo undertaken It Tho neces
sary funds will bo supplied by wealthy
church members of tho east, with tho
co-operation of tho laity of Nebraska.
It is also hoped that an endowment
of some Bort will bo provided to aid
in Its support.
Of course It is expected that some
difficulty may be experienced in secur
ing tho funds, as thoy will consist en
tirely of voluntary contributions, but
so strong Is tho backing of the move
ment that there Is no possible doubt
as to its success. A splendid lot of
furniture, sufficient to furnish tho
house throughout, has already been
provided.
Similar church club-houses havo
been In operation at tho universities of
Michigan and West Virginia for some
time past and in both cases havo prov
on entirely successful. As at theso two
places, the house horo will havo a li
brary, reading-room and such other
conveniences as will make It attrac
tive as headquarters for student mem
bers of the church. A course of lec
tures will he Instituted and after things
havo been set in running order efforts
will be made toward affiliation with
the university.
Tho Junior academic and Junior law
game, which was scheduled for Satur
day, was called off because tho teams
wero not 'yet in condition to enter a
game.
The Dramatic club met last week and
elected their officers. All the old offi
cers except the vice president, wore
re-elected. This office is now held by
Mr. Fllley.
There promises to be"quito a time at
the Oliver Thursday night The man
ager of "All for the Sake of Eliza" has
invited the entire football team to this
show, and this will be a cause for a
glorious time.
About 500 copies of the anual report
recently published by the historical so
ciety have been wrapped and addressed
and are ready to be sent out Mr- Shel
don Is working upon the remaining
500 and these will be mailed in a few
days.
