Fill Hall to Overflowing and Cheer the Team to the Echo Band Fur nishes Music Speeches. The flrBt mass meeting of the yoar was a grand success in every way, and the fifteen hundred students who crowded Into Memorial Hall yesterday morning showed that college spirit at Nebraska Is far from dead, but Is, on tho other hand, greater than ever. Every seat "was talten both downstairs and in tho galleries, and both sides of the hall wore lined with students fifteen deep. The rooters rules tho meeting from beginning to end, and Insisted on every whim so vigorously that they could not be denied. Yella and songs followed each other thick and fast, and no ono could quiet the crowd until they had gone through the entire repertoire whenever they pneo got started.. The band was there, of c'cWse, and rendered noble sorvlco In adding to the noise, and If that Is tho only requisite for a victory In football, the Cornhuskers will have an easy time with the Wolverines. Promptly at eleven !clock Dr. Bol ton, who was to preside . over tho meeting, took his place on, the plat form, and the rooting began. As soon as ho could obtain silence, ho made a few opening remarks concerning the University of Michigan, and then made wny for Chancellor Andrews, who was being called for by the 'crowd. Tho Chancellor expressed Wmsolf as being Heartily In favor ot football. "Thero are evils, of course.Jbut tfiey are being eradicatecl. I -believe-that at Nebras ka they have been completely wiped out, and we play football strongly, but we play It cleanly,, too. I know of no reason why victory over Michigan is Impossible, and Indeed I do ..not think that it is lmprobablo. I havo soe,n too many football games which have bjeen won by tho lighter tenms to feel that mere weight always wins the game. If wo are not so heavy in the lower story as the Ann Arbor men, thorp Is no reason why we should not bo heavier in tho upper. The result of this game will show the truth of the old quotation: 'Westward the course of .empire 'takes. Us way.' " . When Dr. Andrews had completed his remarks, the football playors wore picked out of tho crowd and forced to tako their places upon the. platform, so, that tho, hero-worshippers could havo a good chance to gazo upon them. Dr. Bolton then called upon Professor Caldwell.' as being tho oldest and most enthusiastic supporter of athletics at Nebraska. Professor Caldwell told tho crowd that there used to bo just ono prayer sent up by Scarlet and Cream supporters, and that was that wo might bo given victory over Min nesota, but that now there must bo two prayers. Ho prophesied victory for' Nebraska next Saturday. In con clusion he-declared himself In favor of football, provided It was played by legitimate students, and expressed himself as believing that every man on tho Nebtaska team was liorp for work first and football next - UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA, LINCOLN, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 20, J905.

Dr. Bolton graci ously permitted him to address tho students. With his face wreathed in a smile which Immediately won tho heart of every co-ed, "Bummy" re lieved himself of the following expres sions: "We are going up to Michigan to win, and overy man on tho toam feels it in his bones that ho is going to win, for wo havo fight, spirit, and that which can't bo licked. Spirit at tho University of Nebraskhaslncroased five hundred per cent in the past five years, as Is shown by tho crowds which turn out to tho games and to practices, as well as by such demon strations as this, and it Is In this that Nebraska receives her greatest gain from tho football successes of the past." After Jack Best had told tho boys that ho knewwo would win, nnd that Ac could already hear the, boll ringing, Assistant. Conch Westoyor.watf called for to tell about Michlgan,vus ho had seen tho gnmo with VandorbUt last Saturday. He said: "I suppose you follows want to kndwv what I think of our chances afttir see ing tho game with Vnnderbllt. Well, I 'havo felt over slnco last fall when the game was scheduled' that wo wore going to win, and now I am twlco as confident of It. That Michigan bunch is fast, but wo are Just a little bit faster. They are fighters for every inch of ground on that field, but wo can beat them at that game, too, and wo are going to wn the game. What struck me most up there was tho cheering, They had ono song they sang while everybody was standing up, and a fellow In tho rear punched mo nnd mado mo stand up too. Then an other thing, they cheered the othor toam frequently. Every- tlmo a man had to tako out time, they would glvo him a good send-off when he got to 1 (Continued on pago 2.)

' University students aro displaying much Interest In tho game between tho high school and tho North Division J high school of Chicago, which Is to bo played on tho campus tomorrow nftor noon. This gumo will probably settle tho question of tho championship of tho weBt, as tho Lincoln boys havo won the championship of tho Missouri Valley for a number of year, and tho Chicago playors aro at tho head ot their class in tho Mississippi Valley. Tho act that roturns from tho great Ann Arbor gamo aro to bo read oVory minute or two will -induco n largo number of students to attend tho game, as they would rather sit In a grand stand and listen to the reports than stand out In tho middle of a street and attempt to forco tholr way up to a window on which vtho report Is pasted. There will bo a special wire run di rectly to tho grandstand, and a mem ber of tho Nebraskan staff will read the returns as fast as they como In.
