VARSITY SCORES EASY Scrubs Liable tt.Break Up Rushes -Northwestern to e De' feated Team Practice Last Night. The 'varsity put up the ' best prac tice game of the season last evening, and In exactly half an hour ran up a v score of thirty-two points against the scrubs. Hard, fast football was what did It, and the scrubs, who were un able to withstand the terrible rushes of the 'varsity, were unable to make many gains against their opponents. Coach Booth Is using the open forma tion on his men, with the Idea of run ning up as large a scoro as possible against Northwestern. The close for mation used by the Cornhuskers In the other games is a security against the other team's scoring, but does not ad mit of as large a score as the open formation. Northwestern's defeat miiBt be made as crushing as possible and it is with that end in view that the men are Jfc working as they never worked before. THE GAME. Tobln kicked off to the 'varsity, and a fifteen-yard return followed. On the first play Bell tore through the lino and ran seventy yards for a touch down. Ringer kicked goal. The scrubs kicked outside and were given another trial. This time tho ball went out of bounds and Benedict kicked out from the twenty-yard line. Bender got down the field too quickly for a return to be made. The scrubs punted on the third down with five yards to gain, and Benedict fumbled. Bender made five yards through the line, and on the next play the ball was fumbled, but regained in time by Cortelyou. Punts were exchanged, and Bender made fifty yards, resulting in a touchdown. Tobin kicked to Bender, who returned twenty yards. Benedict punted, and the scrubs failed to return. Bender returned Newton's punt five yards.

The 'vnrsltv took the ball on their own fifteen-yard line, and Blmodymus made a spectacular run around the end for a touchdown. The hall was brought .i. a ma onn palled too soon for uacit. uu tin" ..- another score to be made. The jrac tlce ended with a run around the'fleld. Captain Westover did not appear for practice last evening. His place was taken by Wilson, who played a good game. Johnson and Eager were not In the scrimmage. Academy football Revived. It has been reported that the Acad emy football team got tired of defeat and disbanded. Such Is not the case. The team will show its assiduity by playing up until Thanksgiving day. This afternoon the Academy warriors will attempt to trounce the Juniors of the university. An enthusiastic game is expected. Professor Hodg man aroused some football enthusiasm during convocation Tuesday, with tho result that football has been placed on a new basis. A good practice was held Tuesday night. Arthur Edgren has been appointed manager and Dud geon is now captaTn. The boys are anxious for more games with univer sity class teams. Tho second team of Doane has challenged them for a re turn game and they expect to contest for honors with Union College soon. Texas has the heaviest team in the south. The lightest man weighs 172 pounds, the heaviest 264. The average is 203 pounds.

Miss Mabelle Crawford Is one of -the greatest of American contralto singers and n oartlst deserves more praise for individual work in that spe cial line. The entertainment will be given under tho auspices of the . M. C. A. and the receipts, above expenses, will be used to improve tho apart ments of the organisation at the uni versity. Ti lolld More Roof. The advance demand and sale of tickets to tho Thanksgiving game has been so unprecedented and so large that the athletic board has decided to roof over the remaining bleachers on the west side of the field and connect ing with the original grandstand. The seats will be marked off and sold as reserved seats as other grandstand sit tings. This addition will make a Bolld grandstand one block In length and probably as large as any west of the AHeghenies. RESOURCES OE COUNTRY Principal Gordon if City Schools Addresses Students at Cu vocatlon in the Corn try's Prodicts. Dr. Gordon, principal of tho city Bchools, addressed the Btudents at con vocation on "Nature and Development of National Resources." The addresB was In effect as follows: During the past few years political parties have brought to tho mind of tho public the idea that silver Is the mineral of greatest Importance mined in tho United States. Silver, consid ered from a commercial standpoint, holds a position far below other of our natural resources. The report of the United States Geo logical Survey shows the value of min eral products of tho United States to be $1,092,224,380 for 1901. Farm pro ducts amounted to five times afl much as the sum total of all the mineral products taken together: The farm products of Nebraska alone amounted to 20 per cent more than all the gold and silver produced by tho whole United States In that year. This shows that the products of tho soil are sixty-one times more valuable than the output of our silver mines. In fact, gold occupies only the sixth and silver the Beventh place among tho ten principal products of the coun try. Both are preceded by clays, pig iron, fuels and soils. A summary of all commercial arti cles Bhows that our wealth lies not in gold and sliver ores, but In farms, iron and coal deposits, clay banks and stone quarries. The two way of discovering natural -resources- arn, first., by haphazard ex ploration and, second, by systematic surveys conducted on systematic basis. The former is wasteful of money and effort. The amount of money wasted by unscientific exploration would prob ably cover all expenditures for geolog ical surveys In the United 8tates to the present time. The first systematic investigation of mineral features was undertaken by New York in 1809 and the work has been successfully carried on over slnce The inconsistency of legislatures is brought prominently to view by the history of geological surveys. Large sums have been wasted by the failure of legislatures to comploto survoys that had boon begun, thus causing a comploto loss of all that was accomplished. Colorado QairtiCeitennlaK The University of Boulder celobrated Its quarto-centennial last week. On Saturday, the last day of tho celebra tion, President Schurman of Cornell, delivered the principal address. Mr. Schurman said in part: "At first the tendency was to treat the time-honored professions of medi cine, law and theology as tho only lib eral professions. Tho now professions of engineering, architecture, veterin ary medicine, agriculture and others claim equal recognition with law and medicine. Law and medicine aro good professions. But they aro no better, worthier, or more honorable than en gineering or agriculture. "It is encouraging to note that whoro students have an opportunity of pre senting a modern language instead of Latin for admission to our universities comparatively few of them take advan tage of the opportunity. This means that Latin has intrinsic merit enough to hold Its place In the schools. And I regard it as a very significant phenom enon that during the last few years Latin should both relatively and abso lutly have made decided gains In the high schools of tho United States. As to Greek, no man esteems it as a study more highly than I do. It has sug gested that the A. B. course should be reduced from four years to two, so that students of law and medicine might at the ond of their sophomore years as A. Be enter upon the study of law and medicine in professional schools, which close their doors to all but A. B.'s. And the deans of profes sional schools have suggested that it was possible to cover the present four year course In two years. Nothing very strange that educators themselves should bo guilty of the capital crime of supposing that the process of educa tion could be hastened at railroad speed." English 13 Debate The dobate in English 13 this after noon will be on the following ques tion: "Resolved, That compulsory arbitration would be a just and effec tive means of settling labor disputes." Tho speakers will be W. B. Catlin and C. A. Kutcher for the affirmative and G. A. Lee and G. M. Peters for the negative. Plai New Ofeservattry. Plans have been submitted to the superintendent of grounds and build ings for a new observatory for the astronomical department The build ing, according to the plans, would bo 26x36 feet on the ground, one story In height, with an enclosed hall on tho deck of the building connecting two towers. However, nothing definite has been decided in regard to erecting such a structure, as the main object of hav ing the plans drawn Is to ascertain what such a building would cost. r.
