LINE UP ON CAMPUS
Lam bast the Scrubs. Some Gen
eral Remarks.
The weather gods were kind last
night and ceased from their weeping
long enough to allow the team to prac
tice on the campus In froont of Uni
versity Hall. The athletic field was
very soft and1 could not he used.
The 'Varsity was out In full and also
was the second team. They lined up
against each other and the play was
fast and furious.
The Scrubs had the ball most of the
time and gave the 'Varsity some good,
hard work.
Along towards the end of the prac
tice Drain took Foster's place at quar
terback for the Scrubs and Coach Booth
went In at right half. This meant
business.
Coach Booth would take the half
that had the ball and send' him into the
line with a force which was amazing.
At times the combination would shoot
through tho 'Varsity line like a cannon
ball. It was excellent practice, for the
'Varsity and' showed them how it
seemed to have a star man bump into
them.
The rainy weather is a great handi
cap to the team in that It Interrupts
the practice, which means so much just
Wbefore tho hard game with Knox. They
"will, however, make up for lost time
as soon a9 the weather clears up.
Graves, the promising substitute full
back, was sent to the training table
yesteiday.
A good many new suits are coming
In now for tho new men on the'Varsl
ty. The same style sent is used this
year as was last. This Is a union suit
with a broad band of elastic 'about the
waist. This gives freedom to the wear
er and also by fitting the body snugly
makes It Impossible for a man running
to be stopped by some one catching
hold of his suit.
In speaking of the treatment received
by the team at Iowa we are forced to
mention somo very unpleasant things
ono in particular.
In going to and from the hotel to
the grounds the team was pelted with
mud and stones by small boys along
tho roadside. A good many of the Iowa
etudonts were on the streets and saw
tnls happen, but made absolutely no
move to stop it.
No team over received such treat
ment here, and should anyone start
such a movement every loyal Univer
sity student should lend his assistance
to stop it.
"When a visiting team Is here that
. team Ib practically tho guost of the
whole Unlvorslty and It Is the -business
and duty of tho students to see
that every possible courtesy Is extend
ed1 to that team while it Is here. Noth

sin Will Lecture Here.
Prof. Joseph Jastrow, professor of
psychology in tho Unlvorslty of Wis
consin, will lecture hero on November

most noted psychologists In the field
today and the news that he will lecture

privilege of meeting and hearing him.
He is a man of rare literary ability
and has lectured widely In this coun
try. His recent book, entitled, "Facts

Y. W. C. A. Meeting.
On account of the rain Sunday after
noon tho Y. W. C. A. meeting, which
was in charge of Miss Allene McEach
ron, was not as well attended as It
otherwise would have been. ''Miss Grif
fith, In her customary earnestness, gave
an Instructive talk on tho need of the
spirit of missions In the Christian char
acter. Miss Mildred Clark reviewed
the environments and Influences of
Lake Geneva In a pleasing manner and
doubtless Inspired In many of her hear
ers a desire to spend "ten days on the
mountain top with God." Miss Shlnbur
treasurer, made a few well chosen re
marks concerning tho financial stand
ing and needs of the association. Tho
meeting closed with all present feeling
that they had been much benefitted.

SUPPORT NEEDED
Unless it is Forthcoming Coach
Booth Will Leave Next Year.
Developments have taken place In
the football situation, which are of bucIi
a character as to make the united sup
port of the student body necessary to
the future welfare of football at this
University. Unless the Unlvorslty peo
ple and others turn out and make the
games with Knox and Illinois a success
financially, the probabilities are that
Coach Booth will not be with us an
other season. There Is certainly not a
member of our faculty, student body
or alumni who would not feel a deep
regret to hear that Coach Booth oven
contemplated leaving, and the present
Is tho time and opportunity for each to
work on as large a scale as possible to
preclude any likelihood of losing our
famous coach, by not supporting the
team.
. In speaking of the matter Dr. Con
dra, chairman of the Athletic associa
tion, said:
"This institution will not be able to
keep Booth another year unless greater
interest is shown In the games with
Knox and Illinois. Tho students should
all turn out to these two big games,
and do their Bhare towardB putting the
association on a good financial foot
ing. Tho receipts from these games
must bo sufficient to enable the board
of control to meet the expenses for this
year.
This statement coming from so high
an official as Dr. Conda shows plain
ly that there Is no possibility of a
doubt, but that Coach Booth will go
elsewhere unless the proper support Is
forthcoming.
It Is to be hoped that the students
will take this matter to heart and do all
In their power to help things along. We
don't Intend to let Coach Booth go,
as long as It is within our power to
keep him, and indeed It Is within oar
power to keep him. If each student will
only take an active part and talk up
football among tho people, of Lincoln
and seek to Interest all whom they
can, then a comfortable assurance could
be felt that the two great games of
the season will receive all the support
that couia bo desired.
Let each strive to point out all with
whom he may come Into contact the
responsibility entailed by this Import
ant university function. In which In
the case of Knox and Illinois the whole
state Is Interested. And let each boar
In mind that the schedule for next year
depends In a largo measure upon the
supports tendered to these two gamos.
Hence there are two very Important
considerations to hold in mind. Some
students can not attend either or one
of these games because they havon't
tho money to spare. No undue sacrifice
is asked from anyone. Let each stu
dent do what he can, and there aro
several ways In which each caiv-render
efficient service. In fact students are
urged to write home to their home pa
perst describing the situation In an in
teresting light, as possible and seeking
to do justice to the full significance
of these games. In this way the people
of the state will tako more than a pas
sive interest, and with many this Inter
est will bo of such a character as to
prompt them to attend one or both ot
these games.
We can't lot Coach Booth go. What
wbuld -football here seem like, anyhow?
If we wore to lose him. It lies within
the power of the student body ond the
faculty to preclude all possibility of his
going. Any institution should be proud
to support such a team as we have, and
there Ib no reason why wo shouldn't
or can't. So once more let us urge
each student to take a personal Inter
est in this matter and do all In his
power to keep the management clear of
financial embarrassment
Basket Ball Practice.
Considerable Interest Ib now being
shown In basket ball, and a fnlr-Blzed
squad of playors was out fqr practice
last night. Tho men have all been
showing marked development. Accord
ing to Dr. Clapp'B statement the new
men who have appeared are showing up
well, and tho old men aro playing fast
er than ever. Two promising candi
dates have recently appeard, In Hagen
slck, who playGd on the 'Varsity team
two years ago, and Raymond, a mem
ber of tho Lincoln High School team
last year. Tho present month will be
devoted entirely to practice, and all .tho
men will In that time be given suffi
cient opportunity to prove their qual
ity. No games will be Bcheduled until
after December 1st. Tho first games
will be played with local teams, and
the heavier games will be played later
on, when the team Is well organized
' nnrl In Vi sv listvt tnnrlU1n If In nn nn ll A
and In the best condition It Is capable
of attaining. About twenty mon have
shown up thus far, but more aro want
ed to come out. All students who have
had previous experience In playing bas
ket ball are urged to come out and
practice.

WEATHER UNPROPITIOUS.
Carnival Will be ' Delayed Until
Next Week.
Afitful period of sunshine yesterday
morning brought the faculty members
forth to view tho smiling aspect of tho
sky and to meditate on an Immediate
session to proclaim that the Athletic
Carnival should be held as soon as
preparations could be made for It. But
the clouds overshadowed all their glad
hopes and anticipations, bringing dis
appointment and Badness and dispell
ing the general feeling of rejoicing that
had prematurely run rampant. Time
after time yesterday afternoon faculty
members mournfully descended tho
of tho main hall to gaze longingly up
wards for some rift In tho clouds' that
might betoken a general clearing off.
But as often as they came they were
disappointed.
When aslted whethor the faculty ac
tually intended to hold their carnival
at all or not a prominent professor
said:
"Of course", wo oxpect to hold the
Carnival. All of us professors haven't
trained for nothing. Wo glory as much
in tho triumph of athletic victory as
do those of a younger generation. If
Saturday is a good day we will have
the Knox game postponed and hold our
Carnival tbon."
There is, however, not much likeli
hood of the Carnival being held
Saturday. The football men will prob
ably neou the ataletlc field. The meet
will take place In tho course of next
week according to present plans and
nothing will be left undone .to revive
Interest and make it a success.
