It 1b to bo hopod that tho action of
tho. chaqcollor In presiding ovor tho
flrst froshmnn clasa mooting will havo
tho offoct of rostralnlng Bitch wholo
salo kidnapping as tho unlvorBity was
troatod to last yoar. It 1b undoubtedly
a good thing to have class rivalry and
iota of It, but tho way in which kid
napping has boon carried on In rocont
yoarB Can hardly bo dofendod. It is
not only likoly to tako tho person who
iajridnappod away from his clasBOB at
i time whon ho can ill afford to bo ah
sont, but it also 1b likoly to placo a
dobt upon tho cIubb that 1b far moro
than tho wholo thing is worth.
Tho obJoctionB which nro noted
nbovo do not apply Itv tho same way
to BUch claBB contQBts as aro hold at
Unted tlmcB nnd undor tho supervi
sion of tho authorities. Such con
tests dovolop intense rivalry while
they last, but they aro not stretched
out ovor a number of days. Thoy do
volop cloBer friendship t and unity
among tho dlfforont classes instead of
being simply tho roBult of tho secret
planning of a few. ItVould cortainly
bo a 'groat stop forward if somo such
contest as puBh ball could bo devol
' oped as an annual event at Nebraska.
NEW UNIVER8ITY PIN.
Tho attempt of the Bonlor class to
develop a standard university pin on
which tho numerals of each claBB can
bo ongravod is an attompt worthy of
tho hlghost commendation. Ono of
T
U4I.Q. TwoStonLS 4f.O.
tho greatest lacks of this unlvorsity
1b tho distinctive features which bo
many of tho eastern colleges havo.. At
tho present time thero 1b no neat pin
or emblem which tho Btudent can
wear, both while ho is in tho universi
ty and after ho graduates that is rec
ognized as tho standard emblem of
" the university.
After a student has graduated from
tho university, thb thing that is roal
ly of most Importance to him Is tho
fact that bo is a Nebraska man; tho
fact that ho was a member of a cer
tain class being of secondary impor
tance. If tho scheme which is now
under consideration becomes an es
tablished custom at Nebraska, it will
add materially- totho permanent value
of the class pin and will alBo mako
a standard university pin which stu
dents can wear after thoy graduate.
BULLETIN8 OF GAME.
Those of the student body who aro
so unfortunate as to bo unable to go
to Minnesota should at least take
time off tomorrow andf seo tho reports
of the game as they are received. The
Nebraska Telephone company has
arranged to post bulletins of the
game at their office on South Thir
teenth and the Star will do the same
at i(s office on South Eleventh. t it
is impossible to actually be with the
team we can at least be with them in
spirit and show that the opportunity
of knowing each play as It Is made Is
appreciated.

Bcrlmmnge play in nroparatlon for
the Nebraska gamo was hold tit North
rop flold yesterday. U wau C.'IO bo
foro Coach Williams sent the mon to
tho nrmory. Tho scrubs broke through
tho lino on sovoral occasions and tho
work of tho regulars was far from sat

toam of votora.n playors and will bo
hoavlor than Minnesota. Tomorrow
Dr. WIlllaniB will drill his mon In

Chicago.
CHICAGO, Oct. 1G With tho Ma
roons In tho best of shapo and tho
plays especially ovolvod for tho Illin
ois gamo porfectod, it is probablo
tho Midways will boat tho downstators
in the contoBt tomorrow. Not slnco
1001 has Illinois trlumphod over tho
Maroons. Since that time tho Orange
and Dluo has had some strong teams,
but thoBo woro novor able to win.
Roports from Urbana have it that
if Illinois is not successful in winning
tho majority of its Raines this venr.
tho graduate systom of coaching wllll
bo dropped nnd another plan, hit upon
whoroby bottor rosults will bo ob
tained. This also is tho concensus of
opinion among tho alumni, and if thoso
roports nro truo. Bomo gigantic strldos
must bo taken by tho coaches if thoy
oxpoct to win tho goodly number or
gnmoB.
Tho state toam lias shown nothing
in Its two games to warrant such con
fldonco in fact, tho showing has boon
poor. It is hardly likoly that a toam
can improve enough in a weok to do
foat an olovon that has played bril
liant football in its contests. Chicago
has dofoated its two opponents de
cisively, while Illinois waB hold to a
tlo gamo last Saturday by Marquotto
and givon a cIobo call by Monmouth,
tho Saturday bofore. Of course this
is an unsatisfactory method of compar
ing tho strength of tho two elevens,
but It furnishes food for thought.
Ono thing It certain, Chicago will
havo a bottor assortment of plays than
Its oppononts. Illinois is basing Kb
nopoB ot winning on its lino. It Is ad
mitted that tho lino is stronger, but
tho versatility of tho Chlcngo back
field offsets this advantage.
If Illinois playB Van Hook, tho great
guard, at dofonslvo qunrtor thoy will
not bo using him to tho beat of ad
vantage. It will bo hard for this
giant to keep continually running all

ping tho straight plays. The captain
will have to be In mighty good condi

would Beem moro advisable to placo a
fast and shifty man in this position,
as it is improbablo that Van Hook
will be able to catch Steffon, Pago-or

around the end.
Illinois ends and tackles aro not
good enough to got down tho flold un

the other hand, tho Chicago ends and

Another asset which will greatly

CHAMPAIGN, 111.; Oct. 16 Doing
dopod to Iobo Saturday's gamo with
Chicago has not damponod tho spirit
of tho Illinois rooters, who bought to
day nearly 1,200 tickets in all. This
moans that tho Illlnl will havo' a root
ing delegation of over 1,500 on the
trains that loavo horo on Saturday
and Chicago alumni will swell tho to
tal.
Tomorrow the university band will
lead tho rooters in a march to Illinois
field, where a rootfost will bo held
to give tho team a final Bend-off. Tho
confident statements of Coach Arthur
Hall and Captain Van Hook served to
inspire tho Illlnl with a lot moro hopo.
Illinois is oxpected to outweigh tho
Chicago oleven slightly Saturday. The
local team will averago 171 pounds
and the lino from end to end will aver
ago 185 pounds. Coach Llndgren bo
lloveB Hull, tho now center, and Pur
noil, tho gurad, will prove Btrong play
ers. Today's practice gavo tho final tip
on tho make-up of tho eloven. All thero
was in doubt was the back field and
RItchoy, Bremer, and Pottlgrow woro
with tho varsity. Thoy went through
two and a half hours' work, desplto
warm weather, that may bo a backBot
aB far ob conditioning the mon goes.
Despite tho grueling atmoBphero,
Van Hook and his mon jumped through
formations with appropriate ginger
and vim. Especial attention was paid
to tho open work plays, which aro tfio
greatest hope of the orango and blue.
Slnnock's passes-were olegant, as us
ual, and tho Illlnl will bo sorely dis
appointed if tho forward pass doos
not prove successful against tho Ma
roons. Van Hook, Sinnock, Pettigrow, RallB
back, and Wham, veterans of two cam
paigns, who play their last Chicago
game Saturday, clasped hands tonight
in tho trainers' "quarters and declared
tnnt inicago could and would bo beat
on. lovva.
IOWA CITY, Io"wa, Oct 16 A re
port was circulated last evening that
tho Iowa authorlUos would wire Pro
fessor Clark W; "HothorJngton of tho
Unlvorsity of Missouri claiming that
Captain Miller, guard;' Anderson,
tncklo, and Carothors, guard, all star
momborB of tho University of Mis
Bourl team, woro ineligible under tho
conferonco rules.
Tho Iowa officials woro silent on the
mattor, meroly saying that nothing
could bo given out. Thoy admitted
that there might bo n question on
whethor Jowa was playing Missouri
undor conference, meaning "big eight"
rules, or. tho regulations of tho Mis
souri Valley conferonco. Tho claim

fourth yoar as members of tho Univer

Tho practice last night furnished no
encouragement. Cnrborry was shifted

trial. Feo played In Collins' placo at
tho other half, with Stewart at quarter.

Wisconsin.
MADISON, Wis., Oct. 16 At the
conclusion of tho football practice at
tho Wisconsin University tonight.
Coach Barry announced "that ho would
take twenty-one players 40 Blooming

Ho said that In all probability moBt of
the men would got a chance against
tho hooslors because the team is not
now in tho best of condition for tho
hard gamo which Is expected from the
Indiana eleven.
The team will arrive in Chicago at
noon today. Light signal practice was
all that Coach Barry asked tho men
to go through yesterday.
Indiana.
BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Oct. 16
Coach Sheldon today held his last
scrimmage practice, before tho Wis
consin game horo on Saturday. The
practice lasted an hour and a half and
wob the third successive ono of
equal length. Tho squad camo dut
with plenty of speed and endurance,
the two things Sheldon has worked
on all week. It Is safe to say the In
diana team will bo a third better
against Wisconsin than it was against
Chicago. Betting here is even money
that Indiana wIqb tho game or 2 to 1
that sho will score two touchdowns
on the Badgers. The student body
