No, you are wrong. It was neither
$ flock of geese nor-a bevy of automo
biles. Quito on the contrary, it was a
now. outlet for University football en
thusiasm and It first saw the light of
lay at the mass meeting held In
Memorial Hall yesterday to prepare
for the Kansas game. It was an addi
tion "to the usual quota of yells and
Kansas bids fair to think sho is sur
rounded by a huge flock of mallards or
Canadian geese when the . referee's
whlstlp blows this afternoon.
. The mass meeting was the largest
and by far the most enthusiastic that
has tyjQn hold at the .University this
year. Apparently the thought of meet
ing Nebraska's most deadly rival In
football has stirred the student body
to Its dopths. Besides this, planffvero
more nearly perfected for a rally that
should go with a snap than they over
have been before.
The crowd that filled Memorial Hall
to its limits found the celebration on
when they entered. The'band was In
place -and at work. A round of yellB
for the Individual members of tho
team, each one ending with a "honk"
three times repeated, was followed by
more music .from tho band and then
tho speechmaklng commenced.
Dr. Maxey was called and responded
In characteristic vein. "My remarks
on a former occasion of this nature
were misconstrued," said the genial
professor, "and I propose today to con
sider a' serious subject." Naming his
subject aB "Tho Origin of Football,"
tho professor continued: "Authorities
differ as to the first mention of foot
ball In ancient literature. Those who
ascribe a sacred origin, point to the
passage In tho Bible which refers to
a little 'leven' and In my opinion this
Is cood brdof not only that football
was played but that the conference
rules were in -vogue, else there would
- fieno little ilov.ens.4 Supporters of the
theory of pagan origin point to-pass
ages In Herodotus and Ceasar's Com
mentaries which may be freely trans
lated, so they assert, as follows: 'A
mass on tackle Is good for three yards'
and 'Caesar played half.'
"But whatever its origin" may have
been," continued Dr. Maxey, "it is cer
tain that football has been played by
all great nations except Kansas." In
conclusion the professor made a
strong objection to the cry of brutality
hat is so 'often hoard. "For an abso
lutely safe game," said he, "let me
recommend to you tiddeldy winks."
The now song was tried out at this
juncture after the series of yells had
been run thru. It proved a tremen
dous hit and will be sung several times
by the bleachers today;.
Coach Foster was next brought for
ward arid 'aroused the enthusiasm of
his hearers to the boiling point by bis

Captain Mason then took the stand
and seconded Coach Foster's state
ment concerning the difficulty of tho
game today. He was followed' by
Manager Eager, who first boosted tho
Chicago excursion and then related
what he had seen of the Jayhawkersl
In their game with Colorado. In his
opinion "Kansas will give us a hard
fight and stand-a good show to win.

KANSANSjlRRIVE
JAYHAWKER TEAM REMAIN8 IN
IT8 CAR OVERNIGHT.
Are In Good 8hapo for Battle Excur
sion Due at One O'clock Field
Heavy Big Crowd Expected.
Tho Kansas team arrlvod in Lincoln
InBt night, but remained In their car,
which is a combination sleopor and
diner. They aro not In a boastful"
mood, roalizing that they havo a hard
gamo boforo thorn, but ovory man Is
up hero to glvo tho best that Is in him
and fight to the last ditch in tho hopo
of victory.
Tho stormy weather of laBt night
was most Unfortunato for Nebraska,
and tho rooters aro not as confident of
victory as thoy wore On a muddy
field tho Jayhawkors' woight will toll
to much advantago and Nebraska's
swift plays will show up but poorly.
Roports from Kansas indicate that
tho poor showing made in tho St.
Louis and Washburn games has not
dampened their ardor in tho loast
Those games woro of minor Impor
tance and their team' was not on Its
best mottle. Tho Nebraska gamo Is
tho gamo for Kansas this year, and If
a good man could bo saved for that
gamo ho was not endangered by being
used in a minor game.
. Tho Cornhuskers aro all keyed up
to tho highest pitch In anticipation of
tho gamo today. Thoy havo boon
practising strenuously all week and
with but few exceptions aro In tho
best of condition. It Is still doubtful
If Schmidt nnd Wollor wlli bo In tho
gamo on account of tho anklo ot ono
tho throat of tho other, but no ono can
tell until the referee's whistle blows.
With tho advent of tho rooters' spe
cial, which is due at ono o'clock, Lin
coln will bo a scone of much excite
ment, equalled only by that caused by
tho Colorado rooters last year. The
rooters aro oxpected tp fiumber sev
eral hundred and Kansas will no-doubt
own tho town until 11 p. m., whon the
excursion train is scheduled to leave.
ii i
Many alumni and friends of Nebras'
ka aro coming In frpm Omaha and tho
towns in the stnte for tho gamo and
there will be fraternity, sorority, and
private "doings" galoro for them and
tho visiting Kansans.
