I Three Thousand Gophers Meet Cornhuskers at Train. Itrndrr Crt5K Heimatlou lit I1i' Ills Mii Meeting. Minneapolis. Oct, 28. y Special to The Nebraskun.) The team arrived this morning in excellent condition and is now busily preparing for the game. Without ex ception the men are in high spirits, and thoroughly believe in winning against the Gophers. Minnesota received the team with open arms, and is treating them with a hospitality 'that will make Nebraska exert herself to equal. An enormous crowd of between two and three thou sand students met the Cornhuskers at the train, and escorted them to their quarters A great mass meeting was held tin the campus shortly after, and enthusiasm was rampant. Johnny Bender was called upon for a speech, and responded with some witty re marks that completely took the heartfe of his hearors. The Gophers are confident of win ning, but are preparing for the game of their lives. A tremendous au dience is expected nt the game. F A SWEELEY O'l oughlln, the well known football ciltic who saw Nebraska defeat Knox College last Saturday nrfado the- fol lowing statement to a Minnesota Dally reporter: "Nebraska is not going to be the iasy thing some appeur to think. Booth has a lot of heaVy men and the result of his Princeton play and prac tice Is manifest. The team 1b quick to charge, on springs It looks like, and they play with considerable dash and ginger. Borg, Mhls. Hunter Cotton, the Masons, Benedict, Eager, Benoer, Johnson and others are all strong, husky young men and in splendid con dition. "MOEt of the stories sent out from Lincoln as to injuries and weakness were of the smoke order. Borg went Into the Knox play in the second half Saturday and for a cripple has won derful use of is legs. Bender, to my mind, Is the star mail of the team, with Benedict a close sec ond. The colored lad, Johnson, is a ground gainer and is amusing as he Is protected from Injury by a mass of padding and shields of every descrip tion. He lookslike a preambulating football gear advertisement but it does not appear to hurt his speed In the least. " "MIIIe, the giant, about whom so much' has been said, is nothing morq or less iunny opinion than a talking point about which Nebraska has spoic on with genuine Platto latency while attracting attention from the develop ment of a scrappy, agresslve team. In the Knox game lie did get through the Galeaburg line once or twice but I think he fell through, more than pushed. He presents a broadside of rib, hip and shoulder to the opposing lineman and then waits for trouble to come to him. Cotton is a good looking player having size and weight but after all It drifts back to Bender. This fellow la going great guns at present and to me he looked fully as fast as Fred Hunter on burning up grass down the field. Benedict is not so fast a runner but he 1b a wonderfully ef fective dodger and outstrips his of fense to rely on his own powers. - "The defense of Saturday was weakened bythe absence of one or two linemen, Booth taking no avoid- ble chances of Injuring men before U It it It it H it n it n it H H it it it HEAR OTT Oliver Theatre, Sunday, October 30th at 4 p m.

He has kept his promise, as Hunter is In now, I see. In Shook's place. The Nebraska ofTenho is faster than the defense ana they have one or two toe specialists who punt from fifty-five to sixty yards without apparent effort. They did not undertake any goals from field and appeared a bit off on their goal kick ing, If I made, no .mistake In sizing 'them up they will carry the fight right to Minnesota and will ho dangerous If they get near the Gophef goal. It will take hard work to beat them. "So, according to the above, this game will not bo the cinch that so many people have been oxpectlng. "It will not be a repetition of the Ames game, nor any other game that has been played this season. Nebrasna Is working hard and Intends to not only score on us, but to beat us. "Our bojK are going to try and ptc ent all this and want the rooters to turn out In full force with colois and noise and help them as best they can."

Lawrence, Ne braska, Grinnell. Who stand no more show than a snowflake In Minnesota, Minnesota, We'll wipe up the earth with Ne braska Otheis may talk, but we'll win In a walk. It's a lead pipe chinch for Minnesota." MANY BIG GAMES. Championship Contests on Sev eral Gridiron . Many games of considerable import ance will be played on eastern as well as western gridirons this afternoon. The ones Nebraska will be chiofly In terested In, next to the one in Minne apolis, are the Illinois-Chicago and the IowaAmes contests. Illinois is not expected to win against the Maroons, but some idea as to her strength may probably be gained from her showing. Iowa Is expected to win from Ames, although the game, Judg ing from Ames' work two weeks ago against Minnesota, ought to bo a very close-one. Since Nebraska plays Iowa next Saturday, interest in this game is second only to the game with tho Gophers. The following is a list of the big games: Minnesota vs. Nebraska, at Minne apolis. Pennsylvania vs. Harvard, at Cam bridge, MasB. Yale vs. Columbia, at New York. Princeton vs. Cornell, at Ithaca, N. Y. Layette vs. Manhattan, at Easton. Carlisle vs. Virginia, at Norfolk. Dickinson vs. Lehigh, at South Beth lehem. Syracuse vs. Dartmouth, at Middle town. Chicago vs. Illinois, At Chicago. Iowa vs1, Ames, at Iowa City.- Kansas vs. Washburn, at Topeka.

Owlng to the decision of the foot ball committee of the athletic board to cut down the expenses oi the Min nesota game, Jack Best did not accom pany the team on Its northern trip Thursday. Realizing thnt It would bo senselosB to hope for victory with Jack not on the field of battle, a self-appointed committee of two, consisting of W. J. Woods and Frank Beers, took the matter up yesterday and In less than naif an hour ralsod by popular subscription an amount amplo for Jack's expenses. The latter left last evening to join the team. He will reach Minneapolis this morning Vic tory lr now assured. Several Nebraska men left forMln neapolis yesterday In spite of i.iehigh rates.

M- The extenslvo improvements which have been in course of Installation In tho chemical laboratory for several monthB are now practically completed, and the building will bo ready for use In a very short time. Tho laboratory Is now one of th" best equipped In the west, and will add much to the ef flency of the department. The lomodollng of tho laboratory Involved extensive changes in all the rooms. Tho heating apparatus, ven tilating, and plumbing have bcon re placed with new material. Tho gen eral laboratory on the first floor has been removed to the third floor. The assay laboratory has beon enlarged to almost double Its former size, and the old store room has been made Into n technical laboratory. On the second floor tho old lecture room has been enlarged and will bo used as an an alytical laboratory. The offices on the east side of tho third door uave not been changed materially. The quali tative laboratory has been converted Into a large store loom. Tho no,w underground store room on the east siue of the building was com pleted during the summer. Itirovldes a room 1(5x65 feet In dimensions. It' is to bo used as a general Btoro room supplementing the store room in tho laboratory building The finish of the Interior of the building has been carofully looked after. , All the laboratory tables and hoods are of white oak, and tho table tops and troughs of alberene stone, which Is practically acid proof. It Is owing to the fact that somo of this stone was broken that the building 1b not entfrely ready for occupancy nt the present time. The laboratory walls and ceilings are of enameled stool the enameling be ing for the purpose of preventing cor rosion frorii gases. New floors have beon laid throughout, those In tho basement being of cement. Tho building has been refitted from top to bottom with nowlilumblug, in cludfhg gas, water and sewer pipes and additional sets of pipes' for com pressed air and acetylene gas. All the pipes are exposed, making ropairs easy. For ventilating the building a large pressure fan In the basement has been Installed which will draw in 23, 000 cubic foet of air per minute. This air is passed, in tho winter time, through largo stem colls and heated to a comfortable temperature beforo It s forced through the building. Be sides this all the- robms will bo fitted with vents that will 'carry ou the gases and foul air. The hoods In the labora 3 totJes will have a separate ventilating system of their own. .Large fans will draw the foul air up through the attic and out through the" roof All these fans will bo operated by electric mo tors. The heating apparatus-has been entirely overhauled and ronowed. Tho changes In the laboratories have been modeled after the most practical appliances in the best laboratories of this country ' and of Europe. Superintendent of Construction Cbo wlns and Prof. Nicholson were In communication with directors several months before Ue plans for the changes were drawn up.
