ARE TO COMPETE RALLY UNPRECEDENTED ir-TFi4 . 1" V CADET8 CONTEST FOR COMPANY HONOR8 TODAY. Order and Rules of Competition Cup and Medals The Judges to Come From Ft. Crook. Tho annual competitive drill of the cadet companies for the silver cup will take place on the athletic field at 2 o'clock this afternoon. The com panies have each been cut down to four squads and are ready to do the best work of. the year. Company C Is unfortunate In that Captain Slaugh ter has been sick for about two weeks and will bo unable to take charge of his company. lLeutenant Campbell, However, has been drilling C for the past two weeks, and judging from the work the company has been doing un der him, it would seem they are de termined to make a hard fight without their captain. The order in which 'the companies will appear on the field is to be de cided by lot, and the' companies wait ing their turn will remain in the Arm ory entirely out of sight of the drill ing company. No communication will be carried from anyone on the field to the companies waiting their turn in the Armory. The schedule of the drill will, be handed to each captain fifteen min utes before he is required to finish his report to the judges. One point will be deducted for each minute con sumed over this allotted time. Three points bonus will be given the com pany requiring the least time to fin ish the drill. The Individual drill for the gold and silver medals Is open only to those men who have less than twenty five demerits charged against them. The two medals are now on exhibi tion at Sartor's jewelry store. They are more tasty and of a more purely military design than any that have been awarded in previous years. One pleasing feature of the medals is that each has the seal of the State of Nov braska on the face. Two officers froni Fort Crook will arrive this morning to act as judges. It was hoped to have three judges, but on account of an unexpected rush at Fort Crook at pres'ent, only two officers can be spared. JUNIORS MEET.

Postponed From Last Night on Account of Rain No Classes in the University This Morning From 11:00 To 11:30 Enthusiasm Growing. You can control events of history, perhaps, but you can not control tho weather. Those in charge of the rally felt this fact in a very definite way last night when the time approached and the clouds rolled up ominously from the north and there was a con tinued threatening of a downpour. Naturally not many people braved the approaching storm and the few enthu siastic men who gathered set at work at once to fix upon another date for a genuine demonstration for the feeling felt toward the matter of Dean Pound's leaving this University. Professor Caldwell and others at once undertook to arrange the mat ter, and as a result there will be no classes this morning at 11 o'clock. All 11 o'clock classes have been post poned to 11:30 and in the half-hour between there will be a mass meet ing in Memorial Hall. It looks now as if there would not be room enough for the people to get inside tho build ing. Professor Ayers, in speaking to those gathered last evening, bade every man to make himself a commit tee of one to see that ten others ac companied him to the meeting this morning, and the kind of response he got proved that there was a red-hot spirit getting into the movement. Dean Bessey, when consulted in re gard to the postponement of the In i B&&A-&-i- 'Aim CAPTAIN JOHN G, WORKIZER, 4TH INFANTRY, uj 8 A.1 Whose two years' work as Commandant of the University Cadets has won him the respect and support of every one with whom he has come In contact. - dustrial classes, oxpressed hlmsolf as exceedingly anxious to see It made something worth while and entered Into the plans with enthusiasm. As a result there will be classes In none of the schools from J.1 to 11:30. Tho way the sentiment for a genuinely big rally is spreading, there Is no ques tion as to the result this morning. And if there was over an occasion when enthusiasm and stir were ap propriate It Is Jusi now. Nebraska needs spirit to rise to the situation now confronting her. She is enter ing upon a period when there must bo a decided advance In the way she ap preciates and co-operates with some of her great leaders like Dean Pound or Bhe will lose somo of them. Men like Dean Pound do not "grow on every bush." But it will be found that time and again they are willing to sacrifice much personally for the good of the school with which they are connected, and this has proved true in the case of the Dean of the Ne braska Law School In the past. There fore, It is only fitting that he be shown the kind of feeling borne toward this sacrifice of the past, fit ting that he be shown how complete ly he has the friendship of the student body. Be sure to watch the Y. W. C. A. thermometer today. It's going up. THE 8ALE OF 1907 CORNHU8KER NEVER EQUALED HERE.

In tho afternoon the sale continued and many more dollars were poured into tho Cornhusker treasury. Many students who had not ordered the Cornhusker and who had expected to get the book for $1.76 were dis appointed yesterday when they came to purchase tho annual, for they found the price had been raised to $2.00 and were told that no copies could be bought at the lower figure.
