More Seating Room, " The athletic board Is making ample preparation for the large crowd expect ed Thursday. The roofs on the new grand stand were completed last night, and tomorrow a force of twenty men will begin work on the new bleachere in the middle of tho east side. These bleachers will have a 160-fopt fjontage, and will be of the same height as the grandstand, but with fifteen rows of seats. They are to be Joined together with rods and so constructed that they can be taken down at the end of the season and placed under shelter in the grandstand. Ijist night the old bleach ers were moved to the south end of the field to make room for the new ones. With such accommodation there will be room for an Immense crowd Thursday, and nothing but a bod day will prevent such a crowd from gather ing on the field. The grand stand will now bold 2, GOO people, the new bleach ers 1,800 and the old ones 1,100 making a total of 5,500 seats. Seats in the &mnil stand are going rapidly, only 500 being left, and none have been sold out or-towfl except to ttie Umaha dele gation, which will order more in addi tion to those already purchased. A special train of the Burlington will start from Falls City, and no doubt there will be other excursions from all parts of the state. The crowd will be the largest In the history of the university. The Class Championship. Nebraska field today will be the scene of the fiercest minor game of football game of the season, if not In the history of the Institution. One week ago the Sophs and Juniors bat tled In vain for championship honors, neither team being able to reach the goal line. One team must assert its supremacy today, as the Beason Ib near ly ended, and it would be almost im possible to have a post-season game. If neither side has scored at the end of the game today, play will likely be resumed, and continued until a score is made. Both teaniB went through a swift signal practice yesterday at chapel time and will practice again this morning at the same noun. The Ju niors expected an easy game before, but the supporters of both teams are frank to admit that this Is anybody's game, and no one can fortell the out come. Every men or ground win do disputed with all the strength and en ergy which the twenty-two class war riors possess. It will be a tug-of-war from start to finish in which the slight est advantage will be of great value. The game was well attended before, but great enthusiasm has been aroused among the student body and class rivalry is running higher than ever be fore, and indications point to the largest crowd which has attended a clasB football game for some time. The elevens will be well supported by their classmen. The line-up of both, teams will prob ably be different from that of a week ago, as some of the men are still laid up for repairs, as a result of the last game. Captain Lundin, Enright and Lehmer of the" Sophomores', and Bell, Johnson and Prltchard of the Juniors, may not be able to go into the game. Ten cents will be charged and the gate receipts will be expended In im proving the college settlement. The game will be called at 2:30. Professor Bruner has returned from St. Louis, where he lectured -to the na tional apple growers' association.
