Tho colloglnnH from Croto meet the
Cornhuskors In the second gamo of
tho Boason thlB afternoon at Antelopo
park. They usually put up u good
fight, although they seldom aro the
cause of much worry to tho Nebraska
olovon. Tholr opposition 1h of tho
variety that makes tho Nobrasku
playors work hard, and for that roa
Bon, if tho Hold is dry, tho content
this afternoon should bo a test of the
strength of the Cornlnrekors.
Under the conditions, which pre
vailed a week ngo it was impossible
for the Nebraska players to Bho'w up
In satisfactory form or do tho work
thoy are capable of performing. A
slough of mud proventod- tho success
of any of the plays adapted to tho
reformed gamo. Tho uso of tho for
ward pass to a good advantage waB
out of tho question, for there was
little dogroo of certainty of tho ball's
being caught when It was shot for
ward. Tho Cornhuskors wero forced
to stick to tho old-stylo football and
direct their plays against tho Normal
line.
This should not bo tho case tlhs
afternoon. On a dry field thoy will

tho now plays they have been learn
ing during the. past threo weeks. How
well they have mastered them and
how fast they are progressing" In their
preparations for Minnesota gamo two
weeks from today will bo shown by
tho character of their play.
THE ROOTING SECTIONS.
Sections have been reserved in tho
north bleachers for tho rooters to oc-
cupy,jthra, afternoon at tho Doane
gamo. 'Thore, will bo two divisions,
one for the girls and ono for tho
boys. To co-ed section Is at the wost"
end of the bleachers. Nobody but
those carrying megaphones will be ad
mitted to the seats kept for the boys.
With these special arrangements
made for thbm the Btudonts ought to
be willing to get out their megaphones
and toot things up this afternoon.
Those without megaphones' ought to
stay away from the rooting sections.
Jt thoy havo not enough of the right
kind of spirit that will lead them to
stay out of their own accord, they
should be kept' out by force,
It Is the duty of tho girls, that
seats have been set aside for them,
to fill up their division. None of them
needs to be afraid that' she Is going
to be the only girl In that section.
There will be many.
OPENING 0f SEASON
"BIG EIGHT" TEAM8 8TART GAME
IN THE WE8TERN CIRCLE8.
PURDUE TO TEST CHICAGO TEAM
Boiler Makers Coached by Former Ma
roon Gridiron 8tar May Prove
8urprlse to Pupils of
Wizard 8tagg.
CHICAGO, Oct. 2. The opening of
tho football season in tho middle wost
will tuko place tomorrow. Those
games will give followers of tho gamo
on l.loa or the strength of tho different
teams in this flection and the chancoa
some have of defeating the eastern
oleveiiH.
As a rule tho teams will bo lighter
than those of last year, as tho major
ity of the coaches have resigned them
selves to the new gamo, and have
given the candidates with speed nnd
agility the preference over the heavy
and slower men. There will be more
forward passing nnd outside kicking,
as these plnys ,woro among the first
given to tho teams. Punting and field
goal kicking alBo will bo nn Important
factor. Tho coaches lmvo snent much
time In tho efforts to develop a man
vho can boot tho ball between tho up
rights. Northwestern will bo tho only "big
eight" team which will not open its
season tomorrow Purdue has only
three gamos on Its schedule thiB year.
nnd those In chargo of tho tenm havo
deferred tho opening of fhe season as
late ns possible that the coaches may
teach tho men ns much football aB pos
sible beforo tho initial contest.
Michigan, with Its team In better
shape than any of its western rivals,
will tackle Case, and the Wolverines
should havo an easy time. Yost has'
an abundance of material UiIb season
and apparently Is not worrying over
the Iobb of veterans last year. Ho still
clings to tho old custom of having a
heavy line, nnd hiB forwards will be as
heavy as those of his famous teams in
the paBt.
Wnbash college will got into nction
today against Franklin, and the show
ing of tho "little giants" will bo
watched with a great deal of Interest.

8AW ORVILLE WRIGHT'8 FLIGHT.
Nebraska Alumnus Was Present the
Day Before Accident
V. W. Melick, 1904, now of Washing
ton, D. C, descrlbOB the flight of Or
vlllo Wright's air Bhip as ho Baw It
the day beforo tho accident,
'.'Tho machino corresponds ritrlkingly
to a big bird, as it sails. There aro
two Bmall planes, one above the other,
corresponding to a bird's head. Then
two lnrger planes to correspond to
the body, a rudder and two propellers
form the tall, the whole being a per
fect balance. The- two propellers are
similar to big electric fans In a verti
cal direction. An electric motor runs
the propellers, and tho steering appar
atus is guided by tho hands and feet.
Although wonderful, It Is a very slm
plo device. In 'sailing It remindB ono
or a hawk.. When he turned to the
lert ho tilted tho left wlngL down a lit
tle, and tho whole thing being rigid,
the right wing or piano tilted up.
When it turned it veered as a hawk
in (light.
"Control was seemingly perfect. It
sonred around the F,t. Meyer ground
twelve times. The accident Boemed
increditnble, aB a parachute arrange
ment provldeB for Just such emergen
cy. The machino must have broken
when tflted nt such an angle as to lose
this provided effect It seems a pity
that by falling only to mako the offi
cial record of what he had repeatedly
accomplished staying in the air moro
than an hour ho should forfeits the
government prize of $30,000. "

Y. M. C. A. Helps Cons.
The Unveralty of Minnesota has a
novel plan of helping students defi
cient in entrance requirements. The
Dally describes It thus:
"The removal of entrance cons has
always been n disagreeable feature nt
tho U owing to the fact that tho un
fortunate student so entering has boon
forced to resorl to a private tutor or
some school outside the university.
"Last year the Y. M. C. A. nttempted
to meet this condition by creating
the educational department, of which
Clarence Harter was tho first secre
tary. The successful work of last
ynar ha? beo'i enlarged to meet the
needs for tho coming year. The pol
icy of the Y. M. O. A. In this depart
ment Is to scure instructors espe
cially recommended by the deans of
the departments in which the condi
tions are registered-, and to charge
the uniform tuition of $5.00 per course
with a discount of $1.00 for associa
tion members. The courses this year
include the subjects of Higher Alge

and Chemistry'

times and talking over the work co
operation on the part of tho men x
chnrge of tho battalllon Ib secured.

when each captain Is left more or less
to his own dovlceB with onch partic
ular company. It is plnnned to this
yenr make tho battalion moro effi
