KNOX TEAM HERE
Coach Booth Makes Statement.
Faculty Rooting Squad.
Regarding the game with Knox,
Coach Booth said yesterday to a Ne
braskan reporter;
"We ought to beat Knox by at least
two touchdowns. They are not apt to
score on us. still thev niav. There is
apt to be such a happening in any
game. They scored on Wisconsin, but
Wisconsin had them completely snowed
under. We know very little of tho
team this year. It is made up almost
entirely of new material. They have
played very few teams of standing, so
wo can't judge or their strength by
newspaper reports. They beat De Pauw
but Do Pauw isn i a team of much
standing.'
In regard to the condition of the team
Coach Booth said:
"The boys are generally in good con
dition, excepting Cotton, who went
homo yesterday and who we hear is 111.
Hunter, the substitute left guard, is
also out of condition, so we will prob
ably have to put in a green man. Wil
son and Benedict are not up to their
usual standard, as they have not en
tirely recovered from the effects of
the Iowa game. On the whole, we
ought to beat them considerably, as
their team as certainly not as good as
It was last year, and our team is just
as good as it was then."
With Hunter out of tho game and
Cotton in poor condition the team
loses some of Its strength. Hunter had
his shoulder injured In a scrimmage
early in the week, and has not recov
ered sufficiently to warrant his going
into tomorrow's game. Lesh will prob
ably take his place at left guard.
Tho Knox team arrived in town at 10
o'clock this morning and are quar
tered at the Lindell. They are reported
to be In the best of condition and ready
for tho battle. Although our team is
not in the best ol condition wo expect
to see them defeat Knox decisively.
The team went outrto tho state farm
yesterday evening for secret practice,
and were put through tho final evolu
tions in shaping up for tho Kn6x game.
Despite the fact that two of the heavi
est men may bo out of tho game, they
expect to beat Knox handily. The game
with Iowa had a disastrous effect upon
some of tho players but Nebraska's
line-up today will be strong.
Members of the faculty met in the
law lecture room yesterday and organ
ized a Faculty Rooting squad, at tho
suggestion of Dr. Cook. The faculty
feelthat an impetus Bhould bo given
to the rooting and have taken upon
themselves the duty ofsupplylng all de
ficiencies. Under tho leadership of Dr.
Pound they will raise a din that will
cause the slates to rattle on the roof
of University hall. This action of the
faculty evidences the highest spirit of
enthusiasm and they are deserving of
great praise for tho step that thoy are
taking.
A section- of tho seats in tho grand
stand will ho reserved for tho members
bf-Uio squad and tholr wives. Those In
the squad will meet at 2 o'clock thiB
afternoon for further organization and
practice, In the law lecture room, 207
University hall.
All faculty members are requested
to be present with megaphones. Tick
ets admitting to tho grandstand will be
distributed at this time.

Interest In tho work at the farm Is in

Tho school of agriculture is designed
to train young men and women for
greater usefulness on the farm. It also
furnishes a partial preparation for
those who desire to enter the technical
agricultural group In tho University,
the full preparation being given by a
year of preparatory work in addition
to that offered in the three years'
course.
Tho school year is divided into two
terms of twelve weeks each. Tho first
term opens November 9, 1903, and
closes January 29, 1904. The second
term opens February I, 1904, and
closes April 23, 1904.
Work on several of the new build
