A GBEAT SUCCESS
Mass Meeting Brings Out Man-
festations of College Spirit.
Yesterday morning a mass meeting of
tho most stirring kind waB held In
chapel and tho football Interests re
ceived a boom that will have a far
reaching effect. The band was out in
full force and. with a couple of stirring
selections put the crowd that thronged
the room into a proper mood for re
ceiving the full benefit of the spirited
utterances of the speakers of the occa
sion. Dr. Poimil presided and ventured a
few words In the way of a "kick-off."
as he expressed it. speaking of the rapid
advancement our Institution had made
along so many lines, and especially in
football. He spoke of the three differ
ent stages through which football in
this University had passed the time
when tho men got out In overalls and
canvas Jackets for practice, later when
a committee went out and elected a
team, and in recent years and at the
present time when all has been put
on a strictly amateur basis. He spoke
favorably of the scrub team, saying
that it was the best we had ever had
and would provide men for tho first
team In tho future. In conclusion he
called attention to the football playois,
who have gone forth from our Univer
sity into position of honor and trust,
whore "beef and muscle" do not count
Captain Bender was called upon, but
failed to respond.
Chancellor Andrew 8 in speaking of
the splendid prospects said that the
team would represent the University
He said that the lack of enthusiasm
could bo traced to professionalism in
the past, but now the team is a strict
ly University affair. The thought that
unless the team wins all the time. It
has no right to expect support, he de
nounced as erroneous, and said further
that even If the team did not win as
many games as In former years the
best evidence of college spirit would
be for the student body to bear up
against defeat, and support their team
with interest undiminished in former
years coldness and criticism have
greeted defeated teams on their re
turn, and If any such occasions do come
to pass this year, an altogether differ
ent spirit Bhould be manifested
Coach Booth, being called upon next,
called attention to the fact that there
Is as much good material scattered
about In the University as there is to
be found on tho football Held. He ex
pressed hlB opinion that anyone com
ing out and training would bo surprised
at the results. Ho exhorted those who
couldn't play to come and hand a lit
tle applause to the men in action; for
In this way the men would do better
work because of being encouraged. One
Important statement that lie made was
to tho effect that the games coming
now would bo harder than those of
last year, and that the united support
of the student body waB needed
"Money," ho said, "is essential to the
success of the team, and everyone Is
urged to help to the best of his finan
cial ability."
Dr. Condra, speaking next, declared
that the members of the team and stu
dents In tho University did not under
stand tho relation of athletics to the
University. He sold that there had been
abuse in athletics. The' men have not
done what thoy should do. If we have
proper coaching and management and
strict rules we need have no fear of
defeat. These roustabouts, ho said, who
come here for no other purpose than to
play football ought to be knocked off
of tho highest pillar, for they hurt the
University The football team this
year, ho declared, must be manly men.
They will not be defeated If the stu
dents will help. "Will you own your
men? Will you push the team?" he
asked. "It 13 Nebraska grit and Ne-

all over the state, he said, that cries:
"We beat Minnesota and we will beat
South ITakota " He said that there are
hundreds of men In the University who
need the training, and be hoped that
tho time would come when all the big,
awkward fellows, and short, stunted
fellows, will come, out and train He
said that our state institutions did dot
have enough push and that football is
something that must be pushed. He
emphasized the fact that we must havu
manly men, and in addition must re
cele strong support.
Clark Bell exhorted all students to
come out and yell, and advised them to
join one of the two Bquads ot rooters
that had been organized Every man
desiring to Join a squad should bring
a megaphone and unless he has one he
will not be admitted to the bleachers.
Manager Buckner, In concluding the
meeting, urged the students to take a
personal interest In the team Instead
of saying "the team," or "Nebraska's
team," they should say "Our team "
He pointed out the fact thai three
times as many tickets had been sold
than In any other year, but reminded
the students thai more support Is nec

make up two-thirds of a now team, and
every man able to play should show up.

DEBATER HONORED
ELECT ASSISTANT COACHES
Athletic Board Chooses Drain
and Westover.
The athletic board met yesterday af
ternoon and elected as assistant coach
es, John Westover and Ralph Drain
These two men have since the open
of the season been candidates toi the
place, and have assisted all along In
training the team At the last meet
ing of the board their names were up
for consideration, but nothing definite
was done. Both of these men will be
lnnluahlo to the team, as their long
experience In football and their knowl
edge of the tactics emploed will aid
In materially strengthening the team
work and Individual players as well
The board albo considered the price
to be paid for each player at the new
training table. Measures weie taken
for fixing a satisfactory scale

W. F. Meier's Trust Argument
Is Published.
The America Journal of Sociology
for September publishes part of the
results of one of Nebraska' interstate
debaters' study of the trust question
last year. It contains a 17-page argu
ment by Walter Frederick Meier, '03,
(college of law), entitled "What Atti
tude Should the Government Take To
ward the Trusts''" The article con
tains the gist of Mr. Meier's exhaustive
study of the "present vast concentra
tion of capital In tho hands of single,
private manufacturing concerns," In
preparation for tho debate which he,
Burdctte (J Lewis. '04, and Ira Hyner,
'04, were to conduct ngalnBt Colorado
College On account of the debate be
ing called off by Nebraska Mr. Meier
did not get to defend trusts against the
Coloradans Mr Meier's conclusion is
as follows
"First, that the Industrial combina
tion Is the resultant of ecdnomlc forces,
IosKesslng advantages for society, also
perhaps real dangers; second, that leg
islation, without attempting to pre
serve these advantages and destroy the
appatent perils, has aimed at a destruc
tion of the combination, third, that tho
attitude now to be assumed Is thnt of
an lnquiilng student, and attempts to
locate tho sources of abuses and see If
a removal of these sources will not
do much toward bringing about a so
lution By assuming this Impartial at
titude, and by guarding carefully
against mistaking causo for effect. It
seems reasonable that much can be
clone to aid materially In building up
and perpetuating the Industrial and
commercial supremacy of the United
States."

About the same number of men were
out for prac tlce last night as the night
before This Is encouraging, as It
showH that the men now out aro out
for earnest and Intend to Btlek tor It
through the season. These are the kind
of men thnt nrc needed, the kind of
men who will build up a team and give
stamina to It when built, In Bhort, thoy
are the sort from which football play
ers are made
I antz. who haH been playing quar
ter for the scrubs, wbh given the first
team signals and practiced at quarter

Bender, who hurt his ankle In Wed
nesday's piactlce. will bo In tho gamo
Saturday, but may not stay It through.
His ankle is Improving rapidly, but ho
wishes to humor it as much as pos
sible. Captain Bender says, In regard to
the game with Colorado: "We don't
know much about the team, but look
forward to a good game. We will leave
next Thursday, taking eighteen or
nineteen men."
In a letter Manager Buckner rerolvoH
from the Colorado manager' he stated
that arrangements wen) being made
for excursions from all over Colorado
for the game.
The Denver people are doing all In
their power to make a big thing out
of the game, and the Nebraska boys
will give them an exhibition of tho
game which will fully recompense them
for all their trouble.
Regarding the Kansas game. A letter
was received by Manager Buckner stat
ing that they, tho Kansas people,
thought It would be necessary, on ac
count of the student body, to play the
game at Iiwrence.
This lookB like the Kansas people
are loading for the gamo and Intend
doing all In their power to beat us.
Captain Bender says: "Let them put
the game at Lawrence We don't care.
We'll beat them any place they want
to play "
A petition Is being circulated and be
ing signed by all the football men ask
ing Ringer to get out. We feel sure
that this will do the work, as soon as
Ringer bees that the team wants him
and that he is needed his loyalty to the
University and her causo on tho foot
ball field will come to the front and
he will respond to the appeal. Ho can't
refuse. We know he won't refuse
It Is often heard about tho campus
that Ringer haB played his time and
can not get out if he wants to. In
speaking with Captain Bender upon
the subject, he said: "Ringer Is a
post-graduate and has two more year's
yet in which he can play, If I under
stand tho rules rightly."
" The game with South Dakota comes
tomorrow. Let no one forget it, but
every one be on hand and ready to
cheer tho team on to victory.
About this team nothing certain Is
known. They made a good record last
year and will probably have fully as
good a team now as thon. 'ihey will
all be men who know the game and
will play it to the best of their abil
ity. Captain Bender met their manager,
Mr Whltmore, last summer, and he
promised him that the South Dakota
boys would give us a good game. Cap
tain Bender went on to say:
"All the men will play hard, but try
and save themselves as much as possi
ble for the Haskell Indian game."
The University will line up as fol
lows for the game tomorrow.
