Now that the football .season Is over,
much attenUon is turned to basket
ball, the mldwlntor Indoor sport. Basket-ball
has always held a very promi
nent place in University athletic cir
cles, nnd thJs year it promises to bo
more prominent than over. . The pros
pects are yery bright, indeed, as there
is more first-class material trying out
for the 'varsity than there has been
for years. All the prominent Lincoln
High SchooT players of last year's
team are in the University, and try
Ing out for the tenm. Walsh, Winters,
Dwight, Bell and Sage are among the
most prominent of these men.
Tomorrow night the varsity plays
tho first game of the season at Wes
leyan against tho Nebraska Wesloyan
team. . This game-will be followed by
a return game in Lincoln on the fol
lowing "week. Wesloyan has always
"given the varsity a very close game on
the Wdsleyan floor and this year prom
ises no exceptionv.The sophomorcR
went down to defeat bdfore the Metho
dists to tho tune of. 61 to 1,3, but the
floor at .University Place has ahvays
helped the local team, being so very
ii
.BIUIUI.
The, freshman rule will not permit
the use of any of the first -yqar men
In this game, -or-any othor until tho
second semester. For this reason Ne
braska wllf bejinmpored somo in her
earlier games. In the Wesloyan game
ATvnr will ulnv center., with Hoar
Moser at tho Urf !- XT?":
and Bell and Bentley at guard. Ha
1 genslck will bo out of this game on
account of an Injured knee. Hoar and
Moser have never played forward bo-
fore, but arc both ve'terans at tho
game," and throw baskets well. Bent
ley Is a new man, but plays weli, and
' handles tho ball wbli, both in receiv
ing and passing. The gamoat Wes
leyan will commence at 8 o'clock,
Thursday night.

Dean Pound Is Toastmaster Booth

Borg Is Honored.
Tho annual Cornhuskor banquet was
held aC tho LIndoll Hotel last Monday
night at 9 o'clock. About ono hundred
students, professors and business men,
besides tho football -mon, woro pres
ent. It was regretted by all prcsont
that Coach Booth could .not bo with
tho toain on this occasion, but tiro urg
ency of his law practlco in tho east
would not permit of his absonco any
longer. Ho had not forgotton tho
Cornriuskors, though, for a tolegram
was. received from "Bumralo" and rend.
to tho men during tho banquet.
Dr. Pound acted as toastmastor. for
tho occasion, and the Dean was at his
best, giving tho banqueters somo of
tho best talks they have over listened
to on similar occasions. Frank Craw
ford of Omaha was ono of tho speak
ers, and related In a very Interesting
way tho experiences of football In 1893
and 1894. Crawford was coach at that
time, and played quarterback In somo
of tho games. Besides these, Captain
Borg, Fred Lundln, Managor Morrison
and Dr. Bolton responded to toasts.
Just before Borg arose to apeak, Dr.
Pound presented him with a beautiful
gold watch, which was tho present of
tho captain's many admirers.
Tho theme of all tho speeches wn8v
that football as It Is played today
and according to the rules is riot as
brutal ii game as thought by n great '
many. All that Is necessary is to elim
inate tho roughness which. Is practiced
by some of tho tennis nnd to play clean
ball. Tho plan for a new athletic field
was thoroughly discussed by Managor
"Morrison, and much interest . was
shown by those presont in regard to
it. Lundln, In his spccchT paid high,
tribute to tho scrubs who have worked
so hard In order that tho varsity might -have
practlco. .
Tho now school law of Nebraska
which goes Into effect In 1907 requires
of all teachers a' certain amount of
professional training, In order t'o
meet this requirement many high
schools of the tsate are planning .to

Slnco 1897 tho University teachers'

graduates of tq.o University, yot, the

teachers is greater than tho supply,
Thlff Is especially true at the presont.
