ITALY AT TODAY 0OOO0K00W3O0 O O 00)KK)IKIKKO)WCO0 FOOTBALL CHANCELLOR TELLS OF ITALY'S RANK AS A NATION. Says She Retains Her Ancient Intel- lectual Superiority In Spite of Many Difficulties. The Chancellor was most enthusias tically received by a large crowd of students at Convocation yesterday. Three lusty cheers were given, when he arose to speak, and It was several minutes before he could be heard. The Chancellor first spoke of the high standard of Intellectual life In Italy today. In spite of the great dif ficulties through which Italy has pass ed, she still retains her ancient In tellectual superiority, so that today Italy ranks as high as any country In the world, In this line. In many' ways Italian universities are quite as suc cessful as those of Germany and France. In literature and science they ore equal to any others, and in art they are pre-eminent. The finest mod ern work In art which Is being .pro duced today, comes from Italy. The political -solidity of Italy today, Is remarkable, In the face of the lack of such unity for centuries In the past. All Italy, from the north to the south seems to feel alike. The Italians al most worship Victor Emanuel, Cavour and Garibaldi. The cause of this unity can hardly be unity of race or unity of religion. It is probably In part caused 'by the. love of Italians for their lan guage and their art. It is certain that separation of church and state In Italy will come In the near future. .Most people In Italy feel the sama toward the union .of church and state that they do In France. The 'people are wonderfully well satisfied with their government. Even the most religious people rather favor the growth of political power. The tension between Austria and Italy over a small piece of territory in the north Is very great. War would have occurred long ago except for the character of the Austrian emperor. His personality Is remarkable. The people in the disputed territory are strongly Italian, but their love for the Austrian emperor makes them willing to 'live under IiIb rule. The Italians, to use a little slang, seem to "have it In" for the AustrianB, and there seems to be a gerjpral feeling, that on the death of the present emperor Italy will get this territory by some means..

Strong Interest Expressed By C. C. ' McWilliams. i The following letter written to the J Dally Nebraskan by C. C. McWilliams, 1007, who Is ,now located at Wllklns burg. Pa., shows how the old "Uni." spirit lives with some of Nebraska's valuable "grads." The letter yilklnsburg, Pa., Sept. 28, 1907. Dally Nebraskan: The first "Rag" camo yesterday and It certainly Is good to read Unl news again, for, although a long way from the cherished nooks, 'the golden haze of .student days Is 'round about us yet." There are about two hundred college men here with the Westing house company and we are constantly mingling with men from Yale, Har vard, Columbia, Cornell, etc., but none seem to have nearly so much loyalty and love for their old Alma Mater as our little colony of twenty-one Ne braskans. The editorial on "organized rooting" in the Issue of the twenty-fifth appeals to me very strongly and I hope that this afternoon, at the first game of the season, a large number of "rooters" will turn out to show their apprecia tion and lung capacity. True, this Is only a practice game and perhaps wo don't need to "root," but we must have practice games to make a win ning team In fact any team at all and If the team needs practice how about the "rooters?". Get out to prac tice games and practice with the team, and If you cannot get thorough ly organized In this way get out and practice with the team every even ing. As was suggested, it is not so much In the volume of "noise" as It is In even, clear, distinct yells. Give the right yell at the right time and get together so that the team can tell whdt you are saying and it will help Immensely.

Present Convocation Plan to" Be Aban doned. At a meeting of the Convocation committee Tuesday, October 1, it was decided to return to the former plan of holding Convocations from 11:00 t 11:30 on Monday, Wednesday and FrI Jay, instead of Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. The old plan was abandoned at the beginning of the second semester of 100G-1907 at the request of faculty members in the hope of affording to all students the full noon hour for luncheon. So many difllcultiesj, however, are In the way of a complete execution of this plan that all Interests concerned ore best served by return to the tra ditional program.

Gophers Are Holding Secret Practice and Jayhawkers Are Getting Old Men Into Game. While "King" Cole is doing "great" work with the Cornhusker squad, Ne braska's chief opponents of the season Minnesota and Kansas are busy rounding Into shape for the big games on their schedule. The following re ports from the two schools show what they are doing: University of Mlnnosota, Minneapo lis, Sept. 30. The big Iron gates on Northrop field swung shut with a clash one day last week, canvas wuh stretch ed acrdsB the openings, and the bunch of huskies who are to represent Min nesota on the gridiron this fall, went Into retirement even from the , eyos of their most devoted admirers. They will not emerge until the game with Ames, two weeks hence. Dr. Williams will at once begin Instructing his men hi the little fancy stunts which will not be brought out until the big gumes ol the Heason. "I can't say very much about the team as yet," said "Doc" the other day. The men are all green and Inex perienced. It will be lighter, probab ly, than last year. Wo will know ab solutely nothing about the line-up un til about two weeks from now." From no'w on only the barest ru mors will be obtainable as to the work of the bunch and until the try out with Ames the loyal Minnesota supporters will have no chance to see their favorites at work. Woodrlck has been kept on left end steadily since, work began and it be gins to look as If his chances for holding down Bobby Marshall's berth were very good. In the backfleld Chest nut Is passing with a coolness and speed which has won him consider ate praise. It will probably bo Cap ron and Schuknect at the halves. Whether Rademacher can Btay In the fullback position with only 100 pounds to back him up looks rather problem atical. University of Kansas, Lawrence, Sept. 30. Slxty men have been report ing for practice every evening and by the last of the week when the class teams have become fully organized the squad will probably approach the" 100 mark. Practically all the veter ans who will play this fall have al ready donned the moleskins, "Tub" Reed, Julius Cohn, Billy Rice and "Red" Coulter being the only" old heads" missing. Tub is having trouble with the eligibility committee again and may not Join (he team this sea son, although there is still hope of his massive 225 pounds filling the left guard berth again. Billy Rice has been suffering from an attack of ma laria and will not get into the game until next week. "Billy" Miller, the veteran half-b'ack, (Continued on page 4.) -
