DO NOT WANT PAPER NEBRA8KAN 18 NOT NEEDED AT THE 8TATE FARM. AGRICULTURAL PAPER FAVORED NEW CLUB TO HOLD MEETING. Mr. M. Superintendent Davidson 8ays That He Wishes 8tudents at Farm to .Patronize their Own Publication. For several years past it has been recognized by those In charge of the Nobraskan that it would be a vory do slrublo thing to enlarge tho scope of the paper and mako it representative of the state iarra as well as of that part of tho university located in Lin coln. This year an ospocial attompt has been made to accomplish this, but a letter received recently from Super intendent Davidson of too state farm leaves little hopo that this can bo ac complished. In tho letter Superintendent David son declares that the Stato Farm, has been supporting for several years "without the university's aid" a paper dealing with agricultural subjects. Ho states that as the Nobraskan employs solicitors who are paid for their work th6 competition with the farm paper would be unfair. He also indicates that tho Nobraskan pught not to at tempt to get subscriptions until tho first of January so that the farm pub lication may havo" first chance at (he unsuspecting students. The letter of Superintendent David son is as follows: "Business Manager Daily Nobraskan, University of Nebraska. "My Dear Sir Replying to your in quiry ,of yestorday regarding our at titude towards securing a largo sub scription for "Tho NebraBkan" in tho School of Agriculture, I beg leave to say: "We havo at Jtho university farm, a publication known a8 'Agriculture,' which 1b supported by the agricultural students and by the efforts of tho ag ricultural faculty. We havo boon able to support this paper without tho uni versity's aid in recent years and we feel that it is necessary that our agri cultural students loyaly support this paper if it is to succeed. Wo would bo opposed to any systematic soliciting among our students for 'Tho Nobras kan' or any other paper, since it would probably result in materially withdrawing from the, suport of oiir own paper and would probably result in its having to call on the university regents for financial support "No ppraon connected .with 'Agricul ture' receives any compensation for hiB work. If paid solicitors should be put in (ho field to canvass for 'The Nobraskan our paper would operate at a groat disadvantage. "Tho students of tho regular course will havo sutuclont opportunity to uub sorlbo for 'Agriculture' within tho first month or six weeks of the school and after the first of January, we would have no objections to your soliciting for 'The Nobraskan' under such regu lations as we may suggest. "Ab toMurnishing news items, wo shall favorsuch and shall be willing to send in any items coming to us di roctly.. We shall favor your hav ing a correspondent here among our students if you' wish to do so. "If any. considerable numbor of stu dents should subscribe for 'The Ne braskan,' it would be necessary for you to distribute those papers through an agent since there is no regular method of distributing United States mall at the school. "Very truly yours, f " A. ,k, DAVIDSON." , ;'Approvod: E. A. BURNETT, Assocl -'ate dean in- charge of .all agrtoultur- al instruction and -work' W. A. Woodward and W. Morning Will Speak.

COLLEGES AND THE UNIVER8ITY. Dr. Bessey to Address College Asso elation Wednesday. Dean C. E. Bessoy will address the Nebraska association of colleges and teachors at its meeting In Lincoln noxt Wednosday on tho relation of the small college to tho university. His topic" will bo a part-of a-general -discussion of an arrangement which would give the small college a part with the univorsity in one educational Bystem. This matter is ono of interest to Dr. Bessey as well as to representatives of the small schoolfe of tho state. Tho proposed discussion is tho result of planB made by President Perry ojf Doane college and it is expected to open tho field to an extended consid eration of tho possibilities of bringing the colleges and the university into qlosor touch with ono another. The question for discussion is Btated in tho official program as follows; "Ought an arrangement to be made in the interest of higher education in Ne braska by which tho colleges will do most of the work literary, mathe matical, biblical, and philosophical done by the end of what' is now known as tho junior year, and the university do most of its work technical, scien tific, graduate and professional sub sequent to that time?" LAST WORK UNTIL IOWA CORNHU8KER8 8CRIMMAQE WITH FRE8HMEN YE8TERDAY. TEAM TO LEAVE THIS EVENING Players Off This Evening for Iowa City Where They Expect Hard Battle on Saturday Tho Chances Are Even. 8CRAP COMMITTEE" APPOINTED. Upper Classmen Arranging for Fresh man-8ophomore Contest. The first step toward tho arrange ments for tho official scrap to be hold by the freshmen and sophomore classes was tho appointment by tho senior and Junior president of thocommit tees from their respective classes to have charge of the matter, Tho sen ior committee is as follows: E. T. Guidlnger, Dextqr T. Barrett, and C. A. Thompson. The junior committeo consists of tho following Dale McDon ald, Walt Wohlonburg and R. P. Hal-Hgan. Tho last heavy practice beforo tho Iowa gamo was hold yostorday at An telope park. A large number of mon were out again last night as has boon the case nil weok, and thoro woro six oi seven players' in uniform In addi tion to three full squads. Coach Colo last night dovoted -considerable tlmoo drilling his cohorts in kicking of all kinds, and in forma tions both offensive and defensive, to be used if the gamo resolves itsolf into a kicking conteBt. At present Ne braska haa three men who aro com petent fo,do the punting, but thoro I no ono who can tako the place of ex-Captain Wellor in tho drop kicking line. Boltzer, Blrknor and Minor can all be depended upon to boot tho ball a considerable distance If conditions are favorablo but nono of theso excels at either drop or placo kicking. In the Grlnnell gamo Kroger scored a pretty placo kick, from the thirty yard line and for a time it was hoped that ho would develop into a reliable por formor In this department, but he haa shown no- apparent Improvement. In tho Minnesota gamo his kicking leg was Injured and It Ib still too stiff for I una Kina or wont. Boltzer occasionally oxhlbits good form while drop-kicking in practico but his accuracy seems to leavo him when ho is hurried and for this rea son It is fearod that ho can not Jjo depended upon for any field goals during a game. No Match for Kirk. It is realized that the Cornhuskors havo no ono to match tho mighty Kirk, Iowa's half back, in the kicking de partment, and as a consequence Ne braska will have to bo considerably bettor than Iowa in othor respects if she is to offset tho advantage which they have in this matter. With "Pip" Cooke out of the ame entirely and both Boltzer and Kroger in very delicate condition tho chancoB are that neither will last tho entire gamo Nebraska's regular back field is Indeed badly shattered. The Im pression, which obtains among the stu dents seems to be that Blnco the Corn huskors showed up so strongly at Min neapolis they ought to find Iowa easy money, but such 1b far from the opin ion which prevails among the players and coaches. In their minds is firmly rooted tho opinion that Nebraska will be up against the fiercest kind of u contest next Saturday at Iowa City and that, only by putting forth the vory best they havo and by befhg at tended with good fortune, will they bo nblo to conquer tho Iowann In that bnttlo. 8hort Scrimmage. Cooch Elliott's froshmon woro lined up for a fow minutes of stiff scrim mago work with tho regulars and tho vnrslty mon got together in fine shape. Bontloy played at quartor and ran tho team with lots of gingor. Ho will hold down this position In "Pip" Cooko'B placo during tho Iowa gamo. To start with tho 'varally was glvon tho ball and on tho first play Chaloup ka failed to gajn around loft end. Boltzer circled right end behind good intorferonco for twonty-fivo yards. On tho first down Blrknor mado two yards through loft tackle and Captain Har vey added five more off right tacklo. On an attempted line buck tho 'var sity fumbled and tho freahmon got tho ball on tholr own 3-yard lino. Gibson, for tho freshmen, punto.1 to Bontloy, who roturnod eight yards. On tho first down a forward pass failed and tho 'varsity was penalized flfteon yards. A short kick, which wns recovered by Frum, nottor thirty yards. Templo mado five yards through contor, Jackson mado throo through loft tacklo and Chaloupka mndo it first down. Boltzor went over for n touchdown and puntod out to Captain Hanvoy, who missed goal.
