shoulder. Bender is suffering from a
bad cold, but stays In tho frame West
over will in all probability play Thurs
day. 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.
