PREPARATION EOR KNOX It Will Be a Hard Game Scrubs Held Varsity Down Kansas a Little Sore About the - Saturday Game. Ah the time for the Knox game draws nearer the interest tuken in the game by the supporters of the Corn huskers becomes more and more appa rent. Everybody experts a good Kame and they will not be disappointed. They play football at Knox College This 1b shown by the results of the big games Knox has played so far this season. On October 4th they held the Chicago team down to five points and on October 27th defeated Northwestern in to 0. On November 1st Kansas nit, defeat at their hands by a score of 5 to 0. Last Saturday Notre Dame met defeat 12 to 5 and Nebraska is still to be heard from. As the Cornhusl.Tb hae P'uyed only one of these, teams a comparison of scores leads to no definite understand ing of their strength, but the result of their game with Chicago Is sufficient guarantee of their prowess Nebraska has a hard proposition before her and she realizes it. Practice was short and sharp last night, the scrubs holding the varsity down to one touchdown. The two teams lined up and the scrubs were given the ball, but failed to make any great gains. The varsity secured llORRPHFiinn nf tlio nip-Hkln nnd In tn first play Bell with splendid Interfer ence dodged through the opposing I team and ran 'JO yards for a touch- ' down. Keeping the ball on the 5 jard line, the regulars steadily advanced down the field, but failed to score again. Thorpe and Simodymus took their placets at halves to succeed Bell and Bender. Wilson played in the line in Wostover's place. Shedd is lmprox-' ing but will probably not pi' y aay more this season. The scrubs had a good team last night and matte the varsity play their game. Hickle in the line did good work, as did also all of the backs. Drain played his old position at quarter and aided the team with some of his old time vigor. Eager at left half and Englehart at full were in every play and were always found at the bottom of the pile. Eager's tackling was especially good. Myers played a good game at right half. Pal- mer helped out on the end. The scrubB are taking more interest in the prac tice since they are enabled to make some headway against the varsity. According to a report Kansas is male ing the claim of unfair treatment In the game Saturday. The officials aro roasted severely for prejudiced deci sions and the Jayhawkers claim that they should be credited with a touch down. Because Nebraska's goal has not been crossed this year they are claiming that they stood no show. If a plain steal should be called a touch down, they deserve a score, but every one on the sidelines knows how the run was made. Knox Is Very Strong. Next Saturday's game with Knox will be a memorable one In the foot ball history of the university, nnd should bring out a record-breaking crowd. No two teams so evenly matched as Knox and Nebraska have met on Nebraska field for years Knox comes with an enviable record. Last year her team has the distinction of making the only score on Wisconsin during the season, and this year's eleven has only been defeated but once and then in a magnificent game with the unusually strong Chicago team the score being 6 to 0. The Chicago Chronicle of Monday last in praising the splendid work done by Knox said that she could easily defeat four or five of the "Big Nine" elevens. It is well known that Nebraska and Knox have the most formidable teams west of the Alleghcnys that are outside the con ference. Only one eleven outside of Wisconsin has this year been able to hold the champion Michigan aggrega tion to a small score, and that was the Notre Dame team. Yet Notre Dame was handily defeated by Knox on Sat urday last Nebraska will certainly be outweighed on the 15th when the two teams meet. Their colored half bat k tips the beam close to 2f0 pounds and his propensity for gaining ground is a source of consternation to oppos ing trnms; and there are several mem 1 crs of the Knox eleven that are near 1 ns heavy. Michigan Ohjects. The following item appeared In the Michigan paper with the purport of poking fun at Nebraska: "It is rumored that a challenge has been issued by Nebraska to Michigan for a post-season game to decide the western championship. This appears exceedingly presumptuous on the part of Nebraska, their only claim for such recognition resting on the fact that Minnesota was beaten 6 to 0, and this at a time when the Gopheis were (aught napping, thinking they had a "cinch." Michigan has ytt to beat Minnesota, but the outlook is now for a much larged score than (i to 0, and Nebraska can not presume- to enter the "heavy weight" class by a game won by luck more than anything else. While the management has not given out any statement in regard to this rumor, It can be safely predicted that such a plan would not be considered." The Michigan people are wasting a good deal of anxiety over this alleged proposition." No official communica tions have passed between the athletic managements of either university look ing to a game. The agitation so far has been done wholly by parties not connected with the two colleges, but who wish to see the two teams meet. The State Normal of Kansas gave a reception to its football eleven upon their return from a last game. Every student in Yale Is expected to pay $8 toward athletics. The California glee club participates in all the rooting at football games. NEW BOOKS IN LIBRARY Accommodations Made to Place New Publications Within Easy Access New List of Books. Librarian Wyer has recently Intro duced an Innovation into the library that has probably been noticed by only a few students. Just west of the li brarian's office Is located a set of shelves on which are placed the new books which are received from time to time. The Idea Is to put all new publi cations and recently secured referenco books and literary nlaterlal In easy reach of both students and faculty. Heretofore the practice has been to place new books in their permanent positions in the stack room. Stu dents, however, have no means of learning of the arrival of such books and pamphlets except as the professors inform them. Therefore the advan tage of having new publications In a prominent place in the reading room where everyone can see and handle them Is evident. But, it will be read ily seen that such books can not be kepj. on the reserve shelves perma nently, they will remain there only long enough to allow students to be come acquainted with them and then they will be given their library num ber and put In their permanent places in the stack room. A list of now books to bo found on the "New Books" re serve shelves yesterday Includes the following: English works "Old South Leaflets" vol v.; "The Life of Benvenuto," Symonds; "Tennyson, Ruskln, Mill and other Literary Estimates," Frederic Harrison; "The Economic Interpreta tion of History," Seligman; "New France and New England."

Dr. Clapp. the university physical di rector, spoke at convocation yesterday on the prevalence of typhoid fever, its cause and ways of preventing tho disease. Dr. Clapp spoke In part as follows: "Typhoid 1b the most dreaded disease of tho present time. Other diseases such as smallpox have been rendered less severe by modern methods of treat ment. In some countries, especially In Sweden, physicians are employed to prevent diseases rather than to cure them. Such a ByBtem would be advan tageous In all countries. "Typhoid fever la caused by a germ which lodges in the alimentary canal. Drinking-water, and milk are agents for spreading the disease. During wet seasonB where the fever 1b more preva lent all drinking water should be boiled In order to destroy these germs. Milk should bo aerated. One should cat plain and nourishing food, abstaining from pastry and sweets. Regular ex ercise should be taken." Dr. Clapp said that there was no question of these rules of health would prevent the disease. Botany Notes. Professor Bessey has been asked to go to the celebration of the twenty fifth anniversary of the founding of the Universary of Colorado and Boul der. November 13, 14, and 15. Ho finds it necessary to decline the invitation on account of the great amount of work on hand in the department of botany. Professor Bessey has been notified of the early completion of volumes 13 and 14 of the great work on the forest trees of North America, entitled tho "Sllva of North America." It is by far the finest work on trees ever pub lished In any country. The depart ment of botany already owns the first twelve volumes, which cost $26 each. .Tared Smith, of '89, now director of the Hawaiian experiment station, writes that the cottonwool1 seedlings and cuttings sent to him recently by the department of botany arrived In good order and are now making good growth. Ho expresses a keen Interest in his alma matter, and sends greet ings to the students of today. There Is considerable sickness among university people, but most cases are not at all serious. 1
