SPIRIT DISPLAYED
Football Rally Calls Forth Spirited
Speeches and Enthusiasm.
The Convocation' period yesterday
was devoted to the second and most
enthusiastic football rally of the sea
son. The meeting was opened by Clark
Boll, who called for the University
yells and met with excellent responses,
especially from the left side of the
house. Dr. Condra, who acted through
out as master of ceremonies, called for
a selection from the band, which was
rendered with an energy befitting the
occasion.
Dr. Pound was the first speaker, and
devoted his remarks to the subject of
rooting. He considered the rooters as
important for the success of the game
as the actual players. Nothing is more
discouraging for the team than to havo
a magnificent yell break off in tho mid
dle in an awed "Oh-h-h!" as some play
of particular brilliance is executed. We
must "root with oYie hand and yell
with the other.' Everyone should get
out Saturday and yell tho team to victory-Captain
Bender next took the floor,
but confined his remarks to discussing
Colorado's strength and the danger
of over-confldonce. Professor Bolton
replied to some disparaging insinua
tions as to his knowledge of tho game
by relating some of his experiences in
tho University of Michigan, which cre
ated considerable amusement. itoi.
Bolton pointed out, however, the lack
of Interest and spirit that exists Iioto
as compared with other colleges, and
entered a vigorous plea for more and
better rooting.
Dr. Ross was called upon to demon
strate tho impossibility of his being
hurdled by Professor Caldwell in the
coming carnival. He considered such
an occurrence beneath his notice, how
ever, and, instead, ably defended foot
ball as a moral and mental discipline,
as woU as a physical one. Ho wished
Nebraska to bear victory with modesty
and 'defeat with equanimity.
Manager Buckner began his remarks
by the statement that an attendance of
at leos't 2,000 will bo necessary to de
fray the expenses of tho next game.
He repeated Captain Bender's warn
ing that Colorado was no "cinch," and
urged that the Interest in football
should not be confined to Knox and Il
linois, but should bo divided among the
games where tho team needs the sup
port fully as much as in the larger
ones.
E-Captain John Westovor pleaded
for a better "scrub" line-up. The at
tendance at practice which began o
auspiciously with fifty-eight men has
dwindled down so that tho coaches now
havo to fill positions in tho practice
line-up. Men should not be discour
aged by tho seeming impossibility of
making tho first team, but should tako
advantage of tho practlco for tho sake
of tho oxerclse, if for no other reason.
Clark Bell announced just before tho
closing selection by the band that fifty
grandstand tickets would be distrib
uted to rootore this morning at 10
o'clock from tna south entrance to tho
main building.
CAPTAIN CHASE EXPLAINS
New Ruling of 'War 'Department
Made Clear.
Captain Chase, In an Interview with
a Nebraskan reporter, has explained
tho now ruling of tho war department
and tho effect this ruling will havo
upon Bchools with a military depart
ment, and more especially upon our
qwn Institution.
From tho . bU Institutions which
have a, military dopartment with a
regular officer of the army at tho head
of that department, and which sfand
highest in efficiency, six graduate stu
dents will be appointed ns second lieu
tenants of the regular army upon the
recommendation of the officer o Mie
school from which they graduated.
Regular officers of the army will from
time to tlmo inspect the cadets on
every Institution and report their
standard of efficiency to the war de
partment. To a graduate 9tudent who secures
this appointment, it means a life posi
tion In the army and a rank equal to
the average graduate of West Point.
However, he will not have the four
years of military education. But if
ho is ambitious he may continue his
studies after this appointment and be
assigned to one of the schools for tho
advanced training of officers, such as Is
located at Fort Ieavenworth, Kan.
Here he may obtain an education equal
to that given at West Point, and at tho
same time hold his position and re
ceive his regular salary.
Brilliant opportunities for bright and
ambitious young men are thus afford
ed. A young man may bo assigned
to some foreign embassy or legation
and thus have an excellent opportunity
to travel and study in foreign coun
tries. A STUPENDOUS EVENT.
Faculty Preparing in Earnest for
Field Meet.
Those in charge 'of arrangements
for tho Faculty Field Meet to be hold
October 31st, are working vigorously
In bringing their plans to perfection.
Tho process of organization is pro
gressing rapidly and soon all those ex
pecting to take part will be practicing
zealously. The enthusiasm with which
the faculty are taking hold of this mat
ter and the spirit shown by each in
accepting as an obligation a share in
making the meeting a success is in
deed commendable.
Dr. Condra and Georgo Shedd havo
been busy picking out football mate
riel, and when they have made all the
arrangements that they have In view
the 'Varsity team will have cause to
tremble for Its reputation. Their ef
forts toward organization havo mot
witn surprising results. Dr. Condra's
team expected to lino up yesterday
evening, and1 Mr. Shedd will not fall
behind In putting his proteges Jnto
training.
Prof. Spencer and Dr. Ward have
assumed the responsibility of arrang
ing a baseball game. Mr. Spencer has
already named tho members of his
team, who are as follows: Condra,
Hlnman, Barker, Stuff, Barbour, Fogg,
Dean, Loveland and Westerman. Dr.
Ward has not been able to look after
picking his team thus far, but will
take up the matter at once and contem
plates securing tho services of a pro
fessional battery If necessary. Both
are profuse in their statements as to
the merits of their respective teams,
enthusiasm overcoming modesty. Prof.
Spencer will have his team out tonight
for practice.
Perhaps tho most exciting events of
the meet with tho hammer-throw and
tho shot-put contests between Profes
sors Ross and Caldwell., While both
of these gentlemen are reticent In their
statements, each modestly states that
he expects to win.
A wheelbarro,w race is being ar
ranged. Professor Dann has been en
tered for. this contest, and If no other
entries are made It Is quite likely that
he will win. Prof. Hodgman will race
against all comers and may lie seen
training any time upon, tho Unl. walks:
Profs. Stout and Morse will do some
startling things In tho way of slolght-of-hand
performances. Prof. Clapp
and his assljjjants will tumble, like
the fellows wo used to see in tho cir
cus, and Mrs. Clapp, together with
members1 of her classes, will ' furnish
sorno delightful entertainment, In pre
senting here tho game of hockey. ;
GET CONSTITUTION

ment From Committman.

mores, who succeeded In purloining the
Freshman constitution yesterday after
noon, we are enabled to reproduce what
purports to be a gonulno copy of that
valuable document giving it as far as
It was completed. We trust that It
will be of news interest to many. Tho

in laying down measures regulating
tho administration of class affairs, and
the wording and style of the constitu
tion, shows excellent executive ability.
We are not acquainted with the meth
ods employed by the Sophomores in se
curing this document, except that they
induced one of the committeemen to
give it up. Following is a copy of the

Football Practice.
Owing to tho rousing football rally
at ( Impel yesterday morning six new
men appeared on tho field for practlco
last night.
Dean Ringer was out with a suit on
to lend his assistance as a coach. Just
before practice began ho took tho ball
and kicked a few from tho thirty yard
line. It seemed llko old times to boo
him out again and made some of tho
older men on the side lines grow rem
iniscent and compare this year's team
with those of former years, and tho
team of tho present suffered no evil
from the comparison.
Those who saw tho practlco of last
year will remember HIcklo of second
loam fame. He was ono of tho now
men who appeared last night and will
bo of groat value this year during tho
practices.
This result of tho earnest talks of
the morning's rally wore very pleas
ing to the manager and coaches of the
team and show them that they havo
tno spirit of the Unlvorelty behind
them, which counts for a good deal.
The practlco was oven more snappy
than usual, owing to the keenness of
the air. Tho men wore all koyed up to
a high pitch and went Into tho work
with a vim which was amazing.
Borg, the center, who has made an
enviable reputation for himself, had
the sad misfortune to have his shoulder
b.slocatcd a couple of nights ago and
has not been able to take any part In
the scrimmages since. There Is a pos
sibility that he will not be able to play
Saturday agalnBt Colorado. Ho will,
however, be In shape for tho Knox
game.
Robertson will bo In condition for
Saturday's game.
Bonder Is practically over his Injury.
Watch him do some work In Satur
day's game.
The Colorado team will arrive this
afternoon at 3 o'clock over tho Rock
Island and will roglster at the Lin
doll hotel.
Manager Buckner returned Wednes
day from Omaha, where he has been In
consultation with tho Iowa manage
ment regarding the possibility of play
ing tho Iowa-Nebraska game nt Omaha.
Although not fully decided as yet,
tho probability Is that --tho arrange
ments can not be made. The game will
probably be played at Iowa City as was
first scheduled.
This will boadlsappolntment to many
of the students, but it Is ono of those
things which can not be helped:
Be sure and como out to the game
tomorrow and lend your assistance to
cheering on the team to victory.
Game called at 3 o'clock. Admission,
50 cents.
