The work laat night was fa&t and furious. For a while In the early part of the ovenlng the team practiced sig nals. Later on they lined up against the scrubs. Here tho fun began. The Bcrubs played like fiends and although the 'Varsity made their distance all tho tlmo they had to work for it, Tho scrubs appeared in tho best form they have been in this year and their work was excellent. They go to Grand Island next Saturday to play the col lego there, leaving at 10:30 Saturday morning-. As for tho playing of tho 'Varsity. It was quick and' snappy at times, but at others was not up to the usual play ing standard of the teami This is not an indication of the team as a whole. It must beremembered that for tho past day or two the practice has been light. Nevertheless, they will depart for Iowa City in good shape and laat night was the last hard prac tice. Word comes from Iowa that several now men1 ha'Vo been added) to tho line during tho past two weoks and the team has been individually strength ened. Their coaching has been sys tematic and careful, and If all reports aro true, great improvement lias been made since tho game with Minnesota. Tho Nebraska team goes to Iowa in very good condition with tho excep tion of one or two slight Injuries to tho men behind tho line. Borg's shoulder is almost as good as now and will probably not cause him any more trouble. Robinson hasi re covered from hlB sprained ankle. Bondter is well and will be in the game from start to finish in all prob ability. Eager Is suffering from a sprained ankle, but hopes to be all right by Sat urday. Graves sustained a severe bruise in the muscles of his leg in last night's practice, but with careful doctoring ho hopes to bo all right for tho game. Several members of tho faculty wero out upon the field last night practicing up In minor points for the great meet Saturday. Bo sure and register soon. Tills means today. You should do so If you intend going to Kansas City. The names of the men who go to Iowa are as follows: Bender, Benedlct.rtBelt, C. Mason, Cotton, Borg, Lesb.Munter, Robinson, Perry, Wilson, FeAlon, Eager, Lantz, G. Mason, Marsh, Graves. Union Debaters Appointed. President Myers of tho Union TJoyB' Debating club has appointed the team which will contest for honors In de bato with the Doame Collego team. R. C. James, J. C. ...cRoynolds and L. O. Pfelffor comprise tho team. These men will make a very Btrong trio and will no doubt be able to give tho Doanltos several pointers in debate. James was a member of tho team which van miicnoi Kansas last year, and McRey- nold9 was an alternation tho Colorado team. Pfelffer Is a man of consider able experience and ability in this lino. Tho debate will bo held In Crete, some time before tho holidays; The Union team will submit a question to Doano at once and Doano will have the choice of sides. Thia annual cjontest promises to bo of unusual interest, as Doano is said to -bo exceptionally strong this, year and feels confident of victory. Some of tho Union boye may accompany tho team on the trip. MASS MEETING CHAPEL TODAY AT 10 A. M. SPEECHES BY BOLTON, FOSSLER AND GRUMMAN ANXIETY MOUNTS HIGH. Faculty Concerned Over Carnival, But Determined to Act. A remarkable change has como over the spirit of the being of our faculty members during the past week, and It Is evident that they have affairs of pressing Importance weighing down upon them. Ben In the class room Is this change noticeable, and much curi osity has been aroused1 to the where fore of It all. The eye that watched with cat-like alertness for unbecoming conduct among tne students has be come filled with abstraction; the hand that grasped the ferule so firmly to ad minister Just punishment upon offend ing pupils, now tremble nervously as It holds the book of wisdom and knowl edge. The reason Is plain, now that the secret has been divulged. The faculty aro going to hold an Athletic Carnival Saturday. We were requested not to mention this fact, that is the icason why we publish It. The mental strain to which our Honored and revered pro fessors have been subjected is some thing wonderful anu terrible. Any of them can feel entirely at home upon the platform before a large assemblage provided it be not a Woman's club meeting but when it comes to doing athletic feats for the amusement of the populace, luey feel that they are out of their element. ' Yet for all that they are preparing with unremitting vigor for Saturday's events, as it will be the day of their lives tho day of which future histo rians will write and from which btorlcs will be written and upon which num erous plots for plays will be founded. Countless seminar classes will ponder over piles of manuscript and olumes, trying to determine the brand of manu facture of tho wheelbarrow with which Prof. Dann won the memorable race: the number of men Prof. Fogg stinck out and tho make of the armor that the umpire wore; who it was of the non-participating membeis of the fac ulty who carried water for Prof. Tay lor's hor&e, and finally whether the In strument used' by Prof. Ross in the shot-put was really lighter or not than that used by Prof. Caldwell, asthe lat ter claimed after the conteet was over. A few moro points of interest will be: From what section of the grandstand did most of the applause come when Dr. Jones knocked his second home run; if the humane society did' not In terfere to prevent tho participants In the walking race from Injuring them selves, and how many men were killed in tho football game and how many played on a side. Students should not neglect this op portunity to make themselves solid with the faculty. Any opportune and conspicuous applause will be greatly appreciated, if rightly directed, and a megnphone will prove useful In reaching the right person. And at the same time another kind of an oppor tunity will bo presented that should not be neglected. If you have any grudge against any member of the faculty we all have you will have an opportunity to vent your feelings. Whenever one of them fails In some dismal fashion you can turn loose and roast him properly, as they have often done to you. However, be secrete, for If you are caught In the act the conse quences will be direful. But, never theless, come, whether to roast or to cheer for the attraction Is one that any sane person could not afford to miss and any insane person would not miss. So all of us are suited. As complete a program as It is pos sible to secure will appear in tomor row's Nebras'kan, and such other In formation as may come to our ears will be published!. Marshall and Richards, hair-cutting a specialty; massage, Bhaying, etc. Basket Ball Prospects Good. Considerable interest is already be ing shown in basket ball and from the showing made so far it is evident that Nebraska will again have a strong team. Without any effort on the part of the manager men are showing up for practice voluntarily, and1 there are always enough men on hand for a live ly game. Elliott and Hoar, the last year's 'Var sity team men, are back and almost the entire scrub team, Beers, Krake, Noyes, Tyner, Ludden, Mellek and1 Ml lek, will try for places. Also a num ber of new men have made an excep tionally fine showing. Benedict and Newton of last year's 'Varsity are now playing football, but will probably be on hand' after the football season Is over. With this amount of good ma terial to pick from1 the management will find no difficulty In making up a strong teaim. especially since practice Is beginning early and so many men are old players. ""There "will also be a good scrub team and competition be tween the scrubs and first team will make the 'Varsity como up to the scratch. Dr. Clapp on being Interviewed by a Nebraskan reporter last night, said: "The prospects for a winning team are very flattering. The old men are show ing a great deal of Interest and some very good materitl is found among the new men." Cross Country Runsill be Held at This Universil Cross country runs nro a feature will figure quite extensively h athletic activities- at this Institution in the future. Dr. Clapp Is responsible for the introduction of UiIb Innovation, and to him belongs the credit for tho Introduction of a clean, healthy form of exercise that can not help but ap peal to every student seeking physical improvement. Especially for runners and "short-winded" students Is this exercise helpful, aB the constant prac tice Indulged In will effectually dimin ish or do away with defects that so hinder. Fifteen men met yesterday after noon In Dr. Clapp's office, whore they wero Instructed as to tho manner In which theso cross country runs would be conducted and as to their nature. Lated they formed a band under tho leadership of R. IL Searle, and took a "trot" out to the fair grounds and back. They covered a distance of five miles In lively fashion and good time, and returned much enthused' over their experience. Later tho length of theso runs will bo increased1 to a course of five or six miles and return. Of course this limit will gradually be worked up to by easy stages. The class will meet twice a week at 4 p. in. on Tuesday and 2 p. m. on Saturday. All Interested aro requested to report to Dr. Clapp. If enough men register another class will probably be formed. Even those wlio can not meet nt the hours stated above are requested to signify their willingness to Join. Cross country runs have como to bo quite a feature In many eastern and some western Institutions. Steeple chase contests are held at some col leges, and these always arouse a great deal of Interest. It is Intended that hare and hound' chases wi.. be held hero as soon as the enterprise gets well under way.
