Accompanied by their coaches, man

tingent of supporters the football team
loft ycstortlay evening at 7:40 over tho
Rock Island for Denver. Tho men were
In high spirits over the prospect of
their trip and had eery confidence that
thoy would return in the iole ol t'ou
qucrors. Besides the Blxtcen regular
players, tho following also made the
trip: Coach Booth, Assistant Coach
Wcatover, Dr. Mayhew, Dr. Condra and
Manager Buckner. making a party ol
twenty-ono men.
The playeta who were taken on tha

BriggB, Lcsh, Eager: Fenlon, Graves,
Hunter, Cy Mason, J. M. Mason. Perry
Robertson, Cotton, Wilson.
A fair-sized party left In the after
noon for -Denver over the Rock Island
who oxpoct to make their presence felt
In encouraging Nebraska to victory.
Tho team will arrive la Denver at
noon today, and a good rest will be al
lowed them to recover from their trip
and get used to the high altitude.
Twonty hours will suffice to put any of
tho playors on their feet again who may
bo affected by the trip or suffer from
tho change of altitude. The team will
Icavo Donver Saturday night after the
game, arriving In Lincoln at 2:15 on
Sunday. The return (trlp will also be
made over the Rock Island. -
In tho afternoon before leaving the
team was out for some light practice.
Bell. Benedict and Mlison practiced
punting, nnd the ichI of the team was
employed In running down the punts.
Later tho team lined up and practiced
a variety of evolutions. Shortly after
5 o'clock tho men withdrew from the
Hold in order that they might make
thoir preparations for the trip. The en
tiro squad ate supper at the training
table on Sixteenth street.
Tho reports that the Denver .team is
loaded forNeUrtifilcii mm (Sauml little
anticipation among the coaches and
players. They are confident that thoy
can win against any combination that
Denver Is likely to present. They are
suro that In. this case professionalism
will avail tho opposition nothing, if It
is Iff reality practiced. Anyhow, tho
players, will lose no sleep in tremulous
anticipation of what those four new
men will do to them in tomorrow's
game. Thoy regard the pains that the
Denver management is taking as unnecessary-trouble
and a waste of time.
Tho Nebraskan will havo Its own
rp.nrcoentative at tho game, In tho
pereon-oCoux-athlotlc editor Mr. Gay-
lord G. Bennett. Mr. Bcimctt-icft-yefl-'f

should bear this in mind If thoy are
interested at all in the game, and be
on hand to cheer when the bullttnn
announclngs Nebraska's gains we are
sure they wiU bo of that character
are received.
Lincoln Medics Will Play.
! Tlio game that the second team had
' - scheduled for Saturday with the Omaha
Medic has been cancelled; and in the
place of tho latter "team the Lincoln
" f Medics will play. No intimation was
v received rthat- the Omaha team would
be unable to come Saturday until yes
terday morning. A telephone message
was received from Omaha statlng,thnt
the team was disbanded and tho man
ager was absent in the cast, and that
things were in such a chaotic state that
Saturday's game must be cancelled.-
In order that the preparations that
have been made for tho game might
not be wasted, tho manager of the
second team made an effort to secure a
team to take the place of the Omaha
aggregation, and was fortunate in se
curing the Lincoln Medics. The Medics
are a strong, fast team and are Tally
cjmable of nilinir the vacancy left bv
the Omahn team.
The management of the second team
has experienced considerable ill luck
In arranging his schedule. After ar
rangements had been made for meet
ing the Grand Island College two weeks
ago. word was received that the team
was In no condition to play. And now
the fact that the Omaha Medics can
not fulfill their schedule cancels two
games, a return game having norm
scheduled to be played in Omaha. Thus
three games have been knocked out of
the schedule, although for one of thorn
an all-sufficient substitute has boon
found In the Lincoln Medics and tho
game tomorrow will be fast and snappy.
WILL MEET MONDAY.
Junior Election Contest Will
Aired by Class.
be
According to the rumorsT tlittt are
fioatlng about nnd the portents that
shlno Inthe sk the contest proceedings
.that are now being carried on will by
no means be a one-sided affair. Enough
opposition has been promised to the
measures proposed to throw oft the
torpor from all thrngs arfiniate and to
cause the snakes to crawl forth In
countless multitudes, noth Hides in
last Monday's olectlon Intend to stand
firm and look out each for its own in
terests. Both claim to be in the right
nnd It will be left for a thorough In
vestigation to decide which has the
most just claims.
It 1b understood that the supporteis
of the winning candidate for the pres
idency claim that no fraud was prac
ticed and that the measuios taken for
calling a new meeting are entliuly un
warranted. They further asseit that
the1 opposition will have an extremely
difficult task in provlug fraud and that
thoy were foolish In making the charge
when they had no evidence to piove it.
But those Juniors who have pushed
matters toward an investigation nro
equally vigorous In their claims. They
assert that they can produce four men
to- swear that 98 votes were counted,
while only 84 persons were present nt
the olectlon. If they can. make good
this claim, they have a strong point-
In their favor.' In fact the contest
hinges upon the truth of this allega
tion. .
The meetlne in which all these.
TirnrgBTvill bo considered Is called for
Monday morning., and it win uc new
in tho chapel. It Is understood that a
motion will be made and voted upon
In regard to electing the chairman and
mnBter of ceremonies of the Junior
Prom committee The constitution
ality of such a proceeding Js questioned
by some, who also claim that no pre
cedent for such action exists in the Uni
versity. Charges, counter-charges and denials
are Hying thick and fast, and a thor
ough investlgatlonwill alone straight
en oat the difficulties, ff It transpires
that there ore grounds for fraud the
matter should be pushed to tho limit.
I,f there aro no grounds then tho con
testing party should acdrd to the win
ning candidate tho -full credit of hon
orable victory. -It is to be hoped that
Justice will be dono, whichever side
wins. But neither side should weaken
in Its stand If It feels It Is I ntho right,
and It Is hoped for tho good of the
Junior class and class politics in gon
eral that this wholo difficulty can bo
settled in the wisest nnd-raost Just
way possible.
