Tho Nebraska conchoB aro groatly worried over tho outcome bt tho gamo wlj,h tho Haskoll IndlniiB this after noon. They fonr that the redskins muy provo too strong for tho crippled CornhuBkors and manage to get tho gamo by a small scoro. For OiIb rea son they nro not predicting anything In regard to tho contest othor than to admit that tho gamo" will bo n hard eno for Nebraska. So llttlo is known regarding tho strength of the Indians that the coaches aro preparod for tho beet kind of n game tho Nebraska playors can put up. During tho weok "King" Colo has not conducted training with tho Idea that tho game today would bo only a- practlco contest. Ho has flg- urod that it would bo a gamo fully as hal-d aB tho one with Orlnnoll was, and will glvo tho Indiana tho strongest opposition ho haB. But today that op position is not as strong as tho No- , braska. rooters. WOuld. like to havolL Tho Cornhuskors aro badly crippled up. Krogor, Boltzor, ana Minor aro In the worst condition of uny of tho . players. Boltzor has boon suffering from an injured shouldor for the last twb wooks and is in no Bhapo to play ' a fast gamo. Ho may bo In tho con toat today for a wlillo, but probably IJ41,tO. TWO STORES 1415,0. 2-50 and $3.50 8HOE8, $2.50 will not play all tho game. Minor's ankle has troubled him all week and is Hablo at any time In a gamo to cause his retirement. Fullback Kro ger Is In, tho worst shape of any of tho men. Ho has wator on tho right knee and under any condition will not be able to play until tho Iowa game and possibly will bo kept out of tho Btruggle for tho rest of tho season. With threo men on the. team In such ehapo as those aro, Nebraska will have to play with special watchfulness to day or thero may bo a repetition of tm tho Cornell-Ames gamo last Saturday 4 when tho aggies lost to what wob con sidered a third-rate school, It Is very probable that tho avail able Cornhuskors will be called upon to play as hard a game as they dU last week at Minnesota and they should be prepared to do whatever is necessary to win. Tho .Indians are going to light hard and it will take better playing than Grlnnoll encoun tered hero to. defeat them. If It had not been for vthe Llttlo Dutch Band and tho uppor class-men, the annual field meet between the Sophs and freshies of Iowa state col lego would have ben, .a fizzle. aoro woro seats provided lor only about 300, but tho empties wero in the vast majority? University Forum WHEN NOT TO ROOT. Probably one of the moat unsportfl manlike Incidents that ever mnrred re unions between Minnesota and Ne IriiHka at a football gamo occurred at tho contest with the Gophers on North rop field a week ugo. Before tho game wns started tho yell leaders In slructed tho Minnesota rooters ns fol lows: "When Minnesota has the ball don't yoll, but when Nebraska has it yoll as loud as you can." The rooters followed out theso Instructions. But the entire crowd did not approve of thorn, and since that game tho Min nesota lenders have been severely crit icised by cortain members of tho fac ulty and by some of tho students. It was such a trick as Nobraska rootors havo nover been guilty of doing, and one that they alwayB try to supprosa. Bolow aro published two lotters on tho notion of tho Minnesota rooters, one wns written by a Gopher law student to the Minnesota Dally, and tho othor is a communication to th'e Dally No brnsknn from a 1908graduate. The Minnesota letter: "Editor Minnesota Dally: "At the Mlnnosota-NobraBka gamo on October 17, an Incident occurrod which ought to bo brought to the at tention of tho student body. Boforo tho gamo commenced, one of tho root er captains callod out to tho rootors": 'When Minnesota hna the ball don't ell, but when Nebraska haB It, yoll as loud as you can.' Thero woro some hlssoB and cries of 'shame' from the people who woro in tho section noxl to tho rootors and who could hear tho remark, but no attention was paid to them. Tho ovldent Instruction was tc drown the signals of tho Nebraska field captain so that the rest of tho team could not hear him. "This was neither sportsmanlike nor was it a orodit to Minnesota's charac ter aB a host Fault la not found par ticularly with the rooter captain, but with tho spirit which haB boon for Itered at tho University in recent years, which allows those sort of tac tics. It Bavors of nutckerlsm and is most unsportsmanlike. Thero ia hard ly a visitor from the oast who does not notice this method of rooting at once and Who does not condemn it. Thero Ib no college of reputable stand ing anywhere in tho east at which if Buch rooting woro indulged in, con demnation would not fall from tho collogo mates of tho mon who did it GREEN Is the color this fall In everything Hats, Ties, 8ox, Gloves and everything in Men's Wearing Apparel. When you want merchandise that is up to snuff see BUDD, $2.50 Hatter and Popular Priced Furnisher, 1141 O. . bb well as from all of tho colleges. It Is not a mattor of lack of proper col lego spirit that has fostored such short sport tactics, but seems to bo tho result of a custom which has grown up, to which llttlo attention has been paid. "No one belioves more thoroughly than I do in cheering tho homo team nnd there has beon hardly a game in .the last fourteen years which I have not attended, and every time havo been hoarse for weeks afterward as tho result of yelling for the Minnesota team. At some games, the effect to drown signals -has boon more pro nounced than at others. Why ca,n't it bo done away with entlroly and show tho reBt of he western colleges that Minnesota, for one, has a trjue cour teous college spirit and that it is pos sessed of real sportsmen? "When we go to Chicago on the thlrty-firat, let us give our feam all 'the support we can and cheer thom to tho fullest extent of our capacity, but let us alfio give tho Chicago team ovory opportunity to play the gamo as they know how nnd not try to drown out their signals, or, as 'bleachers, Interefere with. their playing., I firm ly believe that there is. enough of tho true sportsman about the "Minnesota rooters, that when their attention is called to this matter, thoy will endorse this position heartily and act. upon II. " ' "CHARLES S. ALBERT, Law '04." Tho Nobraska lotter: Lincoln, Nob., October 23, 1908. To Editor of Dally Nebraskan: "When our team has the ball, keep still, but when Nebraska has tho ball, yell your heads off so they can't hear tho signals." This bit of advice was given to the Minnesota rooters by one of the cheer leaders at last Saturday's game on Northrop fiold. This ia a good example of rooting and though discourteous, shows what tho student body can do for its team by organized rooting. Now it Is up to us as loyaUNebraaka students to get out and help our team with such en thusiasm and spirit as has nover be fore been eon or heard anywhere. .We must do It in order to properly show our appreciation of our boya. When a team could stand, as dll the Nebraska team, under their goal posts and repulse tho furious attacks, of a heavier team, flushed with appar ently certain victory while thousands of rooters clamored loudly for a touch down (and this wns accomplished not only once, but several times) and when this team with wonderful recu perotlve power nnd atick-to-it-Ivonoss could carry the ball back to tho mid dle of tho field after thla nerve-racking, muscle-straining defense, then we Bhould Bay: "To such a team too much praise can not be given." So, hats off to our coach, our captain and ovory member of our great and glorious foot ball team. Now once again let us all get out to tho rest of the games and cheer our boys with systematic yelling and singing and show thom wo really do appreciate their efforts, but let us not forget to be courteous in ovory way to visiting playors. When wo are wildly cheering our boys lot us romera her Nebraska's reputation for cour tesy from tho bleachers as well as "Bquare" playing on tho field. C. J. FRANKFORTER, '08.

No "Open Dorm" will be held this year by the men of Lewis Hall at tho University of Washington as in years previous was the decision arrived at by the dormitory men at their meet ing Saturday evening.
