HONORS ARE ABOUT EVEN Varsity and Scrubs Work About Evenly at Practice Each Side Scores Other Gridiron News. Honors between the scrubs and the varsity were about equally divided last night.

Their places were $i taken by Tobin, Thorpe and Follmer. Wilson and Mason alternated at left tackle. All of the backs were worked out. The second eleven was strengthened by Assistant Coach Pnlmer, Cotton. Johnson and Eager, and played good football. Eager and Johnson went into the game with their usual vim. The former proved a good ground gainer, frequently making five yards. The men, with a few exceptions, are in good condition for the game Satur day and although they do not expect a walk-away, they are sufficiently con fident of victory. Lock for Michigan Game. One of the city papers has been car rying on communication with Michigan with tho object to getting a game with that university and Nebraska, either before or after the regular season is over. Tho prospects are not what this paper wishes. Tho following telegrams have passed between it and the Michigan manager: "Charles Balrd, Ann Arbor, Mich.: Will Michigan play the Nebraska Cornhuskers? The Lincoln Daily Star would like to see the teams meet. "ROBERT MICKEL, "Sporting Editor Star." And this Is tho answer: "Michigan schedule Is full. Sorry we cannot meet Nebraska. "CHARLES BAIRD." It Is stated that a return telegram In reply to one asking for a post-season date has not been received. Other papers In tho Missouri valley havo been pushing tho claims qf the Nebraska team. Some believe that Ne braska Is entitled to bigger things than she la now getting. A Kansas City paper has the following to say of Sat urday's game with tho Indians: "Saturday was an eventful day in football in all parts of the country. The championships of both the west and the Missouri valley were practical ly decided without the , shadow of doubt. By defeating the Haskell In dians, Nebraska made firm her claim to the supremacy of the Missouri val ley, while by winning from Wisconsin, Michigan hewed a largo notch in the western championship stick of 1002, and Wisconsin's hopes for the coveted title went glimmering while over 22, 000 people looked on with varying emo tions. "The Cornhnskers' victory over the Redskins came as a huge surprise to almost everyone interested in the game." There can be no doubt as to Ne braska's superiority over the braves. The score leaves no uncertainty. The Cornhnskers won by legitimate, unre lenting, hard football. freshmen vs. Academy. The Freshmen football team and Academy eleven will contest for honors on the gridiron this afternoon at 3 p. m. The Academy has been defeated by the Sophomores and Juniors by scores of It; to 5 and 23 to 0. As his is their last chance, the Preps will make a desperate effort to defeat one university class team. Companies Move Bleachers. Companies A and C were called out of drill early and taken to the foot ball field, where they were put to work moving tho last Bectlon of bleachers at the north of the grandstand to the north end of the east side of the field. This is to make room for more bleach ers to correspond In height to the grandstand. It will provide the whole east side of the field from 0110 end to the other with plain bleachers and the other side with grandstand and bleach ers. In carrying the old seats around the northern end of the field the men got stuck on account of small spaco be tween wire fence and trees. Either the semaphore, some fence or a tree or two will have to be sacri ficed to finish moving the seats. Earth is being hauled in at tho northern end of the track to provide level ground for tho extra seats.
