Booth has his football men practic ing on sod this weok In order that they will bo able to keep their footing on the Michigan field Saturday. Michi gan has a. field similar to that of Mln necota, and the men who played in the Minnesota game last year know what it is to bo handicapped by going on to ground without any previous practice on ground that Is similar. The men -practiced at the State Farm on Monday evening and last night on the vacant piece of ground Just southwest of tho library 1 iusHinai iooiuau ontnusiasts The men are experiencing some of ' iT' Zf mP !

Every man on tho squad Is entering Into tho game with a determination to down Michigan, and It Js surely gratifying to the supporters and coaches at. tho latonse enthusiasm that is being manifested. Last night both Booth and West over worked on the candidates for the guard positions. It has long been felt by these men that Nebraska was sure ly1 in need of a man that could keep pace with Taylor. But many have been tried, yet the coaches were not satisfied. Thomen who wore tried last night wore Rice, Nelson, Harvey,. Jenkins, and Wenstrandt. The last two namod are new men. who have been on the varsity squad, but a few days, although they are men whoso work is surely worthy of notice and coaching. Rico 1b a good .man, but plays too low and does not keep Tils feet on the' charge Nelson's work does not- Improve as It should, and consequently those other men are giv ing hima hard race to hold tho posi tion ho has had the major part of the season. The teams IJned up for a short scrimmage, and wore given some fast work, lining up Just as soon as the ball was down. This speed wjll be quite necessary if wo are to make any Impression against tho heavy Michi gan line; on Saturday. Tho coaches have not decided yet as to who will, make the trip to Ann Arbor, but it is qulto definite hat some twenty men will be taken besides Booth, Westover aftd Manager Morrison. The names of the men 'who will make tho trip will be .published tomorrow. Tho team will leave on Thurs day evening over tho Burlington for Chicago. Tho trip from Chicago to Ann Arbor will bo made over tho Michigan Central, leaving Chicago at :ton o'clock on Friday morning, and ar riving in Ann Arbor 'at 4:30 lnHhe af ternoon' of the same, day.
