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

Dr. Clapp at Convocation.
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.
