Such a reception under such circum stances, as was given Captain Bene dict and the varsity on their return from their superhuman fight at Colo rado yesterday has never before been given a football team at Nebraska. To the outsider It seemed that the Corn huskers were being given an ovation for a glorious victory and they were. The fact that the score was six to nothing, not In Nebraska's favor, was forgotten by every loyal Nebraskan; but the weakened condition of the men, the unbearable altitude and the game flgnt of the team were not for gotten, and It was the victory over overwhelming circumstances that brought tears to many of us, and a husklness to the throats of the rooters when the battle-scarred heroes who so gallantly upheld the honor of the scar let and cream returned to Nebraska. Eager to show the error of C6ach Booth's words that Nebraska hadn't enough school spirit fuliy OoO students were on hand when the team was due, and the crowd constantly. In creased until the Rock Island station was fairly Jammed. A tally-ho, dec orated in scarlet and cream with 200 feet of rope attached, was, lii spite of baggagemen's objection, run upon the station platform, in readiness for the team. The train from the west was late, but enthusiasm grow until It fairly oozed out of one's finger tips. Various members of the faculty, In cluding Professors Condra, Clements, Emerson. Richards and Lucky mount ed the band wagon and dropped re marks calculated to show their hearts were In tho right place. OM Nebraska men In the crowd talked, as did Mr. Richardson, of Hebron, one of the legislators In '95, who tried to have the university treated better along ap propriation lines. President King of oberlln spoke, nnd was greeted with the Oberlln cheer. A. Chicago Lnlver alty m"an was discovered In the crowds pulled from the west-bound train, and given a chance to rellove his mind. Just then the train bearing Ihe team came In from the west. Through the vestibule of the train obstructing, Jhe crowd burst The Cornhuskers were not allowed to touch ground, but were hoisted to tho shoulders xt houtltig rooter3, yelling themselvcs-hoarse, and in this bedlam, which told of the loy alty of every Nebraskan and of their undying faith in the team, Coacli Booth and his proteges were started for the university, drawn by a thou sand cheering, singing rooters, with th3 loyal remnants of the band, headed by old reliable "Pep" at tho head. The procession moved up 0 street to 12th, where, through the kindness and truo spiritedness of Florest C, H. Frey, hundreds of carnations wore showered on the passing teami The varsity was .K taken amidst one continuous blast of chfcers, to tho training table, and the rooters went back to work. ( On the way up from the train, some shqrt-slghted individual asked what v.all the noise and fuss was being made Over a defeated teajou tHe was at tended to by a forturiate few and the reception continued. Possibly If the rooters had stoppedtq thinii that we weren't' victorious 'tlie volume of nolBe might have been lessened, but such things were not though of. The team had gono away from home In a crip pled condition, two weeks behind In training and fought a splendid fight at an altitude 4,000 feet above Lincoln, where there Isn't enough air for half a good Cornhusker. These things in the students' eyes were Victory, and these things spurred every rooter on to yell his lungs to pieces. Now that we have shown Coach Booth that Nebraska has spirit to burn, by burning some of It. let us burn some more. Tho varsity Is oyt for blood the blood of everybody pervy enough to tackle them from now on, and the bleachers should be filled every night, rain or Bhlne, to aid them. Details of the game are to be found in another column. Colorado did a. very unsportsmanlike thing In Insist ing on 35-mlnute halves, but they seem to take tho right view of It and say they were wrong. In the Interest of amicable relations It Is to be hoped they not only think so, but say so. It seems to be pretty generally felt among the students that we should bring Colorado hero, hereafter. Instead of going there, where, beside a good team, we have to buck the elements. After it was over Coo eh Booth, repent ing somewhat of his remark about a lack of spirit, said: "We can't tell -how wo appreciate the way you received us," which was a good deal for taciturn "Bummle" Booth. ball In mid-field. By superhuman ef forts the ball was forced to Colorado's 4-yard lino, whore it was again lost on downs. Caley punted out for Colorado and tho punt was soon returned by Bene dict from Colorado's 40-yard line. Colo rado slowly worked the ball back, and the half ended with It in her possession on her 33-yard lino. Nebraska failed to gain after tho kick-off, and punted to Caley on his 5-yartfetaarkrs from .which he gained six, Colorado punted. From the 4-yard-line Nebraska onco more carried th'6 ball cIobo in towards a Bcore. Olon Mason cnrrled tho ball twonty-fivo yards around left ond to Colorado's p--qano n p9At8 uoBuqof o.ioum ouji paoX down. Mason was stopped completely on line bucks, and Colorado tho second time took the ball on downs only four yards out. Caley kicked to mldflold. Borg went out with a sprained nnklo, and Rlchrdson replaced hlnj. Colorado's punt was" again returned by Benedict and Johnsdp securod tho bnll on a fumble on Colorado's ll-yard line. For tho third time Colorado hold for downs. From this tlmo till tho end of the game tho ball sea-saw.cd back and forth between tho two toams, and time was called with It In Colo rado's possession, on her own 33-yard line.

'08 CLASS TO ORGANIZE Tho Freshmen Will Meet This Morning to Elect Officers. This morning at chapel tlmo the Froshman class will meet for organ ization nnd election of officers in Me morial Hall. Tho meeting will bo con ducted, as reported In last; (Saturday's Nebraskan. Mr. lawrontfo Bidwell, ac cording to the. plans announced at the tlmo of our gbing to press, will preside nnd Chancellor Andrews will bo on hand to 'prevent any unruly proceed ings from Sophomores or others too boistrously Inclined. No Sophomores are 'to Do admitted and whatever aid tho Frcshmon require In getting things moving will be furnished by the upper classmen. The executive office Informs us that no violence of any kind will bo permitted, and nnyono who attempts It Is liable to get Into hot water. Developments up to the tlmo wo go to press seem to show A. Swonsen of Omaha In tho lead, with A. H. Miller, a former academy student, close after him, while two Lincoln high school men aro contesting for tho honors with a good substantial following. No definite predictions can bo entertained, howqver. as to the outcome of tho political startegy, but it Is supposed that tho managers of tho Lincoln high school and tho academy candidates will arrive 'ktPa compromising basis In ordor to defeat the Omaha man. If this bit of wirepulling 1b effected tho chances aro that a Lincoln man will bo chosen as tho chief executive; on the other hand, if Mr. Swenson can pull his home vote and manipulate the Inde pendent voters, which seems quite pos sible, he will make an Interesting contest. STORY OF THE GAME. How the Cornhuskers Fought Against Altitude and Luck. Nebraska won the toss and took the north goal. Caley kicked off at 2:50 to Bender. Colorado was penalized fie yards for off-side- and Benedict punted thirty yards to Owens. With the ball at mldfieldt Caley. plunged six yards through right guard.

But so long as the college stands for culture and refinement, for Interest In litera ture, art, science, for tho making of friendships, he said, it concerns the students to nsk how wo come Into these spheres. Ho advised caroful dis crimination in ihter-n thorough con viction In one's work. As an In valuablo aid to the building- of. chnr acter In college he emphasized tho necessity for modesty in judging one's limitations, and for honesty with one's work, as well as with others.
