NO COLLEGE SONG
Judges Refuse To Award The
$100 Prize.
The chances tor otu having a tepic
sentntlvc college Hong hne gone glim
mering The board of judges decided
that none of the Hongs offered In com
petition for the $100 pile ofMed b
two of the leading memheis of the fac
ulty are of BUfuc lent nieiit to be award
ed Huch a prize It appeal k that too
little interest was e lined by the Htu
dents In the first place, owing to the
difficulty of keeping the matter piomi
nontly before them, and altogethei
only a dozen compositions were hand
ed in All of these were raiiih below
the proper standard and the board did
not feel willing to awnid such a large
sum ns $100 as a pile foi an Inferior
piece of work, slmplv because It ex
celled the other selections submitted
The matter wok well worked up last
semester, but the Interest was only
a passing one. ard the Judges who
were I)r Sherman. Professor Fossler,
and Prof Richard Jones of Vanderbllt
college, Tennessee did not feel Justi
fied in awarding the pile to a iom po
sition not worthy of reellng It
It was the aim of Di Bolton and
Chancellor Andiews, who generously
offered the prize, to offei ajjtlmulus to
the best talent of the lTnlerslty to in
terest themselves In the mattei of
composing a college song, and not foi
a few students to have the running all
to themselves. A song woh desiifd
that would appeal to the musical tastes
and patriotism of eveiy University
student, and one that would lle for
years to come. Such a bong could be
employed upon all occasions, such as
student mass meetings. debating
events, and rallies of arlous kinds
And it Is Indeed regrettable that the
result should be so disappointing when
om e the effort was made for If the
whole matter Is allowed to drop now
it is doubtful If It would be revived
again
We think that it is safe to say that
we hae the talent beie in the Unlver
slty If It could only be brought to dis
play Itself. But this Is a difficulty
emphasized by the fact that only one
dozen contributions were submitted
There Is no prospect now of the offer
being repeated, and from present Indi
cations the matter will probably be al
lowed to drop.
One -ot the surprises of the registra
tion was the unparalleled increase In
the number of Latin students. Prof.
Barber announces that the increase in
the department amounts to nearly 40
per cent over last yearks showing.
About ninety students registered for
Freshman Latin and the class was
split up Into threes divisions, one be
ins added which meets at 10:30. This
Is certainly a very encouraging pros
pect for the Latin department, and
means an Increase In the future In
the membership of the higher classes.

SHOW UP WELL.
Players Tackle the Dummv
Some Lively Practice.
The prat the last evening was strong
and snnpp) Over fori men were orrt
and thc were divided Into foui squntis,
nender. Westover, Booth and Drain
hnlng thnrge of them Coach Booth
took the men tivlng for the but k field
for a short prat the in stniting. and
then turned them over to Bender.
The men were put thiough some
good, stiff work and showed up well
The wnj lrr whlih material Is show'lng

tells a winning team and puts mote
7est and eaimstncsH Into tire work
Coach Booth, assisted by Bell, hod
charge of the work with the dummy.
Each man was given three tackles and
the development and improvement
along this line since the 11 1 Ht night Is
extremely gratifying
Tackling Is orre of the moHt Import-
ant features of the
game and unless
a team, especially the back Held.
Is
well versed lrr the art. for an art It Is.
that team will fnll down. This ma
chine develops the art of tackling in
an extremely satisfactory manner. To
the observer It is a ' clrrt h" to tackle
this dummy. Would that the casual
observer might learn otherwise by bit
ter experience A man must tackle
low or get all the wind suddenly
knot ked out of him
One of the features of last year's
team was the certainty of Its tackling.
Seldom, very Bcltlorn, did a 'Varblty
man miss his tat kle This feature was
brought out largely by the use of the
dummy.
Too mirth emphasis tan not be laid
upon the value of this machine to n
team
Two new men appearetl on the Held
lafct night, Striker, a new man trying
for half, and a last year's second team
man Fra'ler
We wish earnestly that we might
add one more name to this list, of
course we mean Ringer
The line-up with the scrubs last
night seemed like a touch of the real
thing. The 'Varsity has a Job on its
hands in the shape of coping with this
husky bunch of men. For the most
part all the scrub men know tho game
and play It for ull there is in it, and
for n good marry there 1b quite a little
In it.
The "Varsity showed up well They
advanced the ball steadily and almost
at will, but they had to work. Two
.sets of backs were usedand In this way
tho work was kept fresh and the vim
and enthusiasm not allowed to lag.
Clark, trying for full, while a little
slow, is a sure gainer and on art end
run usually lands his man. Benedict
and Ducray at halves are both strong,
speedy men and play the game as
though they understood It. Marsh, try
ing for half, while rather light, has
proved an excellent ground gainer, and
Is able to see and take advantage of
an opportunity In a very satisfactory
manner. Jim Bell plays the same
game he did of old1. Don't you remem
ber last year when there camo the
fataMhlrd down and two. to makohow

olten Bell would tnke the oval under
his arm and trend down the santlburs
for a live or so' He is the same Jim
Bell. Watch him this year
Bender nt quarter puts the life Into
the play Some say he is otrt of his
place, mayhap they know, birt has any
one ever seen Bender out of his ploce
on a football field?
There's a man behind tire line for
the scrubs that seems to be "doing
things" He Is big, and bos ted hair
and when he hits the line something
has to give He is a very piomlslng
man
The large bleachers on the enst side
of the Held have been placed With
these up and also the ones on the west,
It Is safe to say that Nebraska has a
seating capacity as lare as an west
ern university. The bleachers oir the
east have a capacity of about 1.500. On
the top row. rather elevated above the
top row. Is a special bench for report
ers This scat Is raised up about two
leet higher than was the one of last
j ear. and makes an ext client point
ft om which to view the game
Tho bleachers on the south of the
field were moved around to the east
side last evening by the battalion
The Grand Island College team,
which playB here Saturday, comes with
a gootl reputation 1 ast year they held
the state championship outside of the
University and have practically the
snmp team this year. In fact they have
had this same team for the past three
yean1
They will make no mean opponents
and considering the fact that the Uni
versity team has had scarcely more
than three or four line-ups the game
will be an Interesting one
Some one ask Ringer to come out
and see the game it might bilng bock
fond memories
Cadet Band Elects Officers.
President I. J Pepperberg has called
the band to order for the purpose of
electing officers for the present school
year. The following men were elected
as the result of the meeting-
L. J. Pepperberg, president.
F. F. Falrman, vice president.
E. E. Sprague, secretary
Tho organization Is one which was
started last semester for the purpose
of raising money with which to pur
chase music, Instruments and other ar
ticles to Ht out the band.
The "Band Informals" last year was
one of the most successful social af
fairs of the University and will be
continued this year for the same pur
pose as last.
These Informals will be held in the
armory twice a month If possible and
It Is hoped the students will turn out
as well as formerly for a good Jolly
time.
With Prof. Hagenow as director and
thirty-eight men to pick from, who
have registered for band, It Is hoped
that before long the University of Ne
braska will have a band to be proud of.
Two very handsome cases of mount
ed Indian flints now ornament the
VrUlls of the outer office of the society.
They are the property of Mrs. Robert
Gray, of Schuyler, and are models of
taste and beauty. Mrs. Gray has gath
ered and preserved thousands of speci
mens of ancient hint and pottery' In the
region between the Elkhorn and Platte
rivers.
