THE ROOTfRS APPEAR
Many Men Turn Out Last .Night
to Join Squad.
Tho Italu Spoil" It. ICIent Mn nru Kent
to tho Trnlnlnr ThIiI
The announcement that the .rooting
squads would be organized at football
practice yesterday arternoon brought
out a largo crowd, but the rain storm
not only prevented any attempt at
foimlng squads, but also compelled the
men to abandon practice and seek
Hafet iu the gymnasium. While every
day counts a lot at this time of the
season, the men are still too soft to
take an chances with a slippery Held,
"v?i'h would probably cause a sprain
or a broken rib for some unfortunate
player. Before the rain began Booth
amused, the boys with a little tackling
mactice on the long-suffering dummy.
Then the most promising candidates
tried their skill at kicking goals from
vatlous different positions. This was
a branch of the game In which we
Weie ery mediocre last season, and
Booth doesn't fe'el that he can stand
to Io?e a G-5 game to Minnesota merely
because he has no goal kickers.
The Grlntiel game next Saturday
will Le a far better contest than the
last two. While Orlnnel has never
Fliown championship form since de
leating Minnesota Fix or seven years
ago, s-he always puts a pluck and fast
team on the gridiion. and Nebraska
will hae to win every fiist down she
make- Our last game with the low a
lada was played two ears ago on a
nindd field, and lesulted In tix touch
down tor the Coinhuskers. The re
pot t ic that Grlnnel has a champion
ship team this year and expects to
take the state championship away from
Iowa and Ames. If such is the case
the game wlll.be as exciting as any one
could wish, and will give us a line on
tho outcome of the game against Iowa
In No; ember. In a game yesterday
Aujnistana college scored two points
again t tho Hawkeyes on a salety.
The tiainlng-table was staited labt
v ening at 410 North Twelfth street.
Eight men go on at first, and otheih
will be added as soon as they show
up in particularly good form The men
who go on at once are Captain Bene
dict. ex-Captain Bender, Cy Mason,
Olen Mason, Borg. Johnson. Mills and
Eager.
Roseivo seats for the Grlnnel game
;;o on sale this morning atHarlev's
Drug Store Sea3on tickets will be stlil
on sale until Satuiday, when they will
be withdrawn. The price is stTIl $3,
which Is n good Investment for any
one Intending to see all the games.
A dispatch to one of the xity papers
r avs, that Cotton, the bfg guard of the
h?t'two seasons, was being tried at
tackle on tho Yalo scrubs, and that
f'nptaln Hogrni had been unable to
"' box him eo that he could not break
up the Yalo offense. This Is good news
to Nebraskane, for It shows that a
r4ornhu3ker can hold his own any
where. Under the eastern eligibility
rule?. Cotton will not bo able to play
ou the Yale team luring his first year
there, but all of his well-wishers hope
to see him got his Y the season after.

' CHORDS' M-ts
Adopts Elaborate Plans for the
Year.
The Advanced chorus held its first
meeting on i uesday afternoon, aud
much enthusiasm was manifested.
This work lias bean very much' en
joyed by thoso who have participated
in It In past years, and a large at
tendance Is anticipated this year.
An event of marked Inteiest last
j ear was the presentation at Christmas
time of selections fiom Handel's gieat
work, the "Messiah." This 13 the mo3t
universally loved of all oratorios and
It Is the purpose of those Interested
in this department to make its per
formance an annual occunence. It Is
desired that all students who have
previously sung thla work, but who
cannot attend choiU3 regularly, should
occasionally come to lehearsals, and
be ready to assist In the program,
which wi'.l be ghen Just boforc tho
holiday season. A Wagner program
also Is planned, which will attract
many, while for tho commencement
concert It Is probable that Mendels
sohn's "Elijah" will bo given. This
oratoiio stands next to the "Messiah"
In tho hearts of the people, and its
dramatic power never fails to iouse
gieat enthusiasm. The following list
of the works given during the oast
few years may be of interest. Han
del's "Messiah." Haydn's "Creation.;
Mondc's?ohn'K "Hymn of Praise" and
"Elilah." Cowen's "St. John's Eve."
Coleiidge Taylor's "Hiawatha's Wed
ding Feast" and the "Death of Minne
haha " Mendelssohn's "ft. Paul" and
Verdi's opera, "Alda" In concert form
Tho class meets three times weekly
and niembeis are given one hour credit
each semester. The times of meeting
are Tuesday and Thursday at 3 o'clock,
and the same hour on either Fiiday
or Saturday, as the class may decide.
Students have the remainder of this
week in which to register for this
work and it Is hoped that all who
have good chorus voices will avail
themselves of it.
The material already In the class Is
excellent, but the larger the number
tho better, as these large works need
volume to make the best possible ef
fect. SWEELEY PULLS OUT.'
Assistant Base Ball Manager does
Not Want Management.
Yesteiday It was announced that J
F Allen. Eail Eager and F. A. Sweeley,
now assistant manager of the baseball
team were in the race for the man
agement of the team. Since then Mr
Sweeley hns withdiawn his name from
the contest, leaving only two men to
be considered at the meeting of the
ath'etic boaid next Monday evening.
Mr. Sweoley'a withdrawal created
nuich Fin prise among those awaie of
it. His experience as assistant man
ager last year had made hinvn logical
candldato for the management this
year. Mr. Eager and Mr. Allen aie,
however, both excellent men for the
place and either would doubtless con
tribute much to the success of tho
team. Mr. Eager Is wel known as
halflack on last year's football team,
and Mr. Allen Is president of the class
of 1905.

ROUBLE IS BREWING
Sophs Threaten to Interfere with
Freshman Organization.
A IlMtltloii of Ijt Ycnr'x Troulilo It
Immlnrtit.
Constantly increasing Indications
point to a repetition thU year of tho
c ass flcht n that took piaco last tear
between the Freshman and sophomore
classes of the university. No meet!
of the first year class ha been an
nounced yet and cannot be for over
a week, on account of the chapel be
ing engaged ovcty diy In the mean
time tho Sophs, who have finished their
own campnig are sceknig a ailltalMe op
portunity to intei lore with the plana
of the Freshmen. At their class meet
ing last Tuesday a resolution was
adopted Instructing the president, Mr.
Albeit Wolf, to appoint a committee
to take charge of the Freshman da3s
meeting when It phould be railed, and
to discourage as far aa possible, any
attempt the latter might make toward
organization. This committee has not
been appointed yet, but will be soon,
and stienuous developments are hourly
cxpec ted.
A repicFentrttUe of the Nebraskan
intei lowed several membeis of both
dashes osterday Without exception
the Freshmen woio calmly defiant of
anything the Sophs might attempt, ex
hibiting considerable confidence In
their surerior numbers, while the
Sophomores ridiculed the idea f the
Fioehles .organizing at all. and de
clared that such a tesult would not
be reached without something doing.
What this will be, the future will
show.
Among several names that have been
a'leady announced In connection with
the presidency, are thoEO of Mr. A.
Cwenson of Omaha. O. S. Shaw of
Vesta, and A. H. Miller.
Before the class meeting, however,
several names will doubtless be added
to these, and an exciting contest Is
a.Eiired, whether the Sophs Intciferc
or not.
Only one candidate foi the presi
dent of the Junior dnsF, which meets
this morning, has announced himself
at the hour of our going to pres. This
is Mr Inwiemc Sldwell of Omaha.
Mr. Sldwell Is very popular among his
classmates and It in possible that ho
will, be elected without opposition
Other candidates are expected to pre
sent their names this morning, liow
ev er.
The men's lockeis will not bo as
signed until the latter part or this
week or tho IJrst of next. In the
meantime tho men dealilng to use the
qymnaslum are at liberty to put tem
ooiary locl-s on lockers and use same
rntll the regular assignment. Gym
classes will not begin until next Mon
day at the earliest, and probably not
until tome time later.
Mr. and Mis. Hayes left yesterdaj
afternoon for their home in St. I ouis.
They will be greatly missed bv the
glr's of the University Woman's Build
ing. Mr. Hayes has done a great deal In
making the building commodious and
comfortable. A large gong has been
placed on tho second floor this week,
as well as a long distance and an
automatic phone. A grand Weber
piano has been placed in the reception
room.
