PRICE 3 CENTS 4 for rv" v r e f IS AT WORK AGAIN Team Goes Through Stiff PraC' tice in Preparing for Iowa. Still tho practice goes on. Last even ing the w6rk assumed more of the form It had before the Colorado game. On Monday might tiro practice was ex ceptionally light, consisting merely In running down punts. The team was given a partial rest alter their glori ous work on tho Saturday preceding. Work from now on will be In deadly earncet to get Into shape for tho Iowa game, which will bo one tho hardest on tho schedule and' considering tho fact that tho team plays on Btrange grounds and' after a trip, It will tax their ability to tho fullest extont, but It Is a certainty that that fullest ox ,tont wjj'l bo equal to tho emergency. Wo feel confident that they will como back home bearing in their hands the crown of oMvo leave. The team leaves for Iowa Thursday at 3 p. m., and arrives In this city again at 3 p. m., tho Sunday fol lowing. Tho trip wilf be made over tho Rock Island road. How about getting up a delegation to go down to that train on Thursday and givo them a parting cheer of good fellowship. The leaders of the .root ing squads should) taiko this up and push it through Keep up the spirit, don't lot It lag, let Uie team see that the student body Is behind them even though they are away from home. Mr. Lowery, an old University play er, was here on Monday and ho had seen tho Iowa team play against Min nesota. In UiJs game the Iowa team was defeated by a score of 75 to 0. Mr, Lowery said that this score could not be taken as an Indication of tho ability of the Iowa team because they wero up against one of the fastest teams In the country. He said that never before had he seen a team which was In any way equal to the Minnesota team as thoy appeared that day. They wore tho fastest, hardest, best trained team be had1 ever seen on a football field. That is coming It strong. Tho Iowa beam Is heavy and fast and' plays the game from start to fin ish. Beyond these meager details nothing Is known of tho Iowa team and the Nobraska boys are running Into a practically unknown quantity. In this Instance the proposition Is not hard of solution. Nebrasna is x and x Is more than equal to thoother side of tho equation. Bo sure and keep the subject of the Kansas excursion in mind and register as soon as possible. Make tho squad a big ono and prove to Kansas that we can beat tnem at rooting as well as at football. The faculty Is working hard for the meet on Saturday. No one can afford to miss this, It will bo the event of tho season. Mr. Shedd's old football nature still crops out. Ho la captain- of ono of tho teams and when questioned last night I many an abode In Lincoln tfcat shel ters profound precoptoral wisdom and Intellect, has been the scene of start ling activities during tho course of tho past two weeks. Tho hammer has hurtled through tho air and made large excavations in the ground, while the ...aid of the basoball ngalnst the hen house door has dis turbed tho peace of several neighbor hoods with relentless regularity. All this mighty display of effort will bo concentrated Into a series of grand and wonderful events that will live forever in the minds of the present and future generations. The fooball teams under the com mand of Dr. Conda and George Shodd mand of Dr. Lxmdra and George Shedd and expect to give a whirlwind exhi bition of the game Saturday. Brass knuckles have been ruled out and there will bo no hitting in the clinches. The baseball men have not been Idle, but have been puttin'g In their time to good advantage. Mr. Spencer's team has been liard at work practicing for several nights, ami he is bo well pleaseu with tho showing of tho men that he thinks tnere will be little difficulty in prevent ing Dr Ward's team from scoring. The brilliant throwing ixr bases by Dt. Condra, the star twirling of Professor Fogg, the magnlikent fielding of Pro fessor Love land at shortstop are espe cially encouraging. However, tho most thrilling -and spectacular part of the practice is the manner In which Pro fessor Barbour slides to bases. This alone means numerous scores for Dr. Ward's opjonents In) fact, all tho members of Captain Spencer's team seem abundantly able to hold their respective positions in spite of tho numerous substitutes who are clam oring for positions. The team will practice each day until Saturday at 5 p. m. Dr. Ward's team was out last night and their work was characterized by a swift snappy practice that augured HI for their opponents. Incidentally they kept tho bat and ball in their posses Dion so that the opposing team was unable to practice at all. They have tho right spirit and have discovered the surest road to success. Rumors aro current of an eruption' In the faculty, and If such a catastrophe occurs tho students must be careful for the sake of their own standing In their work to bo sure as to what side they take, as carelessness In this respect may earn for them an undying and relont les hate that will pursue them to the death. Among' tho most pleasing features will bo one in wnich Prof. Taylor will figure largely. Ho will, exhibit the high schooled horse, giving genuine exhibitions of the trainee horse. He has given a great deal of time and at tention to the training of horses, and his efforts have been' rewarded hand somely. His horses perform a num ber of feats in a most excellent mam- ner. wo better exhibition can ue seen anywhere than this one.

Faculty Getting Into Shape for Smashing Joints and Records. Saturday, Oct. 31, 1903, is tho date of tiro most -stupendous event that has over occurred within tho recollec tion of historical man. Written tradi tion has acquainted us with tho great Olympic games, when tho Hellenic youths assembled' to fight It out for tho olivo wreath, but though wo turn tho pages of uatoiu numbers of vol umes wo can find no parallel for Sat urday's ervent Tho back-door yard of Committee Makes Preparations to Raise Balance of Fund.

Tho commltteo in charge of tho work of raising the balance of the Temple Fund have begun work In earnest. Cir culars have been prepared Betting forth tho need and advantages of such a building and they will shortly bo sent out to people in all parts of the state. The committee has been very busy in preparing plans, but now that all 1b ready they expect to push the under taking rapidly to success. Two thousand circulars will be sent out In the course of tho next week among tho alumni and thcBe will be accompanied by pledge cards. Twelve thousand circulars will bo also sent out, which are calculated to teach most of the business and' professional men of tho state. Altogether It is expected that 40,000 people in the state will bo reached by correspondence. The towns outside of Lincoln will be thor oughly canvassed, It having been de cided at a meeting of tho commltteo Monday evening to employ an expert solicitor for this purpose. Sixty days aro yet remaining in which to receive pledges and during that time the work will bo pushed without cessation. Al though a largo amount has already been raised In Lincoln, pledge cards aro still being disposed of here. Members of tho faculty and friends of the University have been using their best efforts to disseminate the truth among the people throughout the state and1 havo mot with good suc cess. Lost spring the Junior and Senior classes were thoroughly canvassed and several hundred dollars pledged. Part of these pledges have been re deemed, but a great part of them is still outstanding. A canvass will bo organized and put Into effect during the next sixty days that will include all tho classes and, it is hoped, reach every University student. The mat ter will bo presented before tho Fresh man class as soon as it Is well organ ized, and It Is expected that It will take hold of tho matter enthusiastical ly and do all In Its power to help the movement. The committee will bo glad to havo studonts call for pledge cards for them selves and for others. It Is hoped that tho Y. M. C. A. and) Y. W. C. A. bodies will take an active Interest and do all that lies wlbhln their means to ward securing what will mean for them splendid new quarters and every facil ity for carrying on the work. Ample provision will be made for them In tho now building and they will be comfortably situated, so that their sphere of Influence may expand Into fields that it has never known before. The cohftfiitteo will bo glad to have volunteers to call for lists and bo re sponsible for certain students. In this way a student may further the Inter ests of his alma mater omd procure a lasting benefit for himself. While all these arrangements aro be infe'luadt' fur swelling the fund, much good work has been done already. The sum already raised has mounted up to $12,000. Of this amount tho faculty has contributed! upwards of $3,000, a sum which bids fair to become nearer to $4,000. Some of the alumni havo responded liberally, sending In sums ranging from $5 to $50. Public spirit ed citizens throughout the state have assisted In a very substantial manner, but the field has hardly been touched jjs jet. vThe need of such a building Is cer tainly great, and the purposes for which, It can be used are manifold. Ample and commodious quarters will be afforded) for the now existing social and religious organizations of the Uni versity andi for any hereafter formed. The vastly- useful work now done by tho religious organizations of tho Uni versity, such as finding homes and work for now Btudonts, Bible study, visiting tho Bick and tho poor, 1b pain fully hampered for lack of quarters, basemont rooms being tho beet Uiat can now be affordrd. Whilo tho build ing wfll fittingly house the religious organizations of the Unlvorsity it will not belong exclusively to them but to tho entire Unlvorsity, being avallablo for receptions. Interviews, social gath erings and meetings of nil sorts not Inconsistent with tho spirit of Its foundation. Porhnp3 an 'enumeration of tho or ganizations that will be provided for, which havo at present no adequate quarters for their meetings will bring with some force to many tho uses for which tho Tomplo building will be available The following clubs and societies aro obliged to meek either in recitation rooms or In lnadequoto quarters: Tho literary societies, Eng lish club, tho Dramatic club, Engln cering society, Philosophical Bocloty, Chemical society, debating clubs, Or nithology association, Graduate club and tho Medical society. This Is but a partial list of tho organizations that aro Improperly housed, and It empha sizes greatly the noed of such a build ing as tho ono wo are laboring to se cure. Tho building will contain reception and rest rooms and will be built strictly for tho convenience and' ac commodation of tho University pub lic. It will be built on the same plan as the Lincoln library building and will bo an ornament to tho campus and a source of pride to all who havo como Into contact with the "Influences of this Institution. That tho University holds a proml nout place among tho Institutions of higher learning Is a fact well estab lished. Tho high standing of our fac ulty, tho facilities for carrying on our work, our splendid library, and tho attention given to research work In our laboratories are matters in which wo all take pride, and tho report of their high efficiency has gone out be yond out own borders. And oven to many who are quite well Informed It may seem that the institution although far from being completely equipped, Is doing well enough. But there are phases of. University life which with tho rapid growth of this Institution havo been left behind1, and' others, springing up wim Its development, havo not been given deserved .atten tion. Wo refer especially to the vol untary associations and soclotles or ganized for social and intellectual de velopment which we have dwelt upon quite fully above. And last of all, let everybody bear in mind the fact that tho completion of this fund means to the University another handsomo building on an en larged campus, a building which for tho purposes contemplated, tho state would never, probably under its con stitution, could not provide. It will give us a building that will grace our campus, and aid in tho expansion of many department now badly congest ed and with no other prospect of an outlet. Let each of us then do our sharp In promoting this work, and not tiro until Vo have tho satisfaction' of knowing that a great task has been -nTnxnnpirslieTFand' a i:reatrbeTEeflt-pro--curod to tho University.
