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." ,

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?"

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.
Tho team loaves this evening ovor
the Burlington at 6 o'clock. They go
to Cedar RapIdB, where they will re
main until Saturday morning, going
from there to Iowa City by trolley.
They will practico on tho field at Coo
Colloge on Friday. Tho following
players will mako tho trip: Captain
Hnrvey, Johnson, Chaloupka, Frum.
Harto, Ewlng, Collins, Bontloy, Blrk

Department of Forestry Searches Uni
versities for Right Man.
In engaging Arthur Sampson, A. M.
'07, , to take charge of the work of
investigation of the effects of grazing
cattle upon timber lands, the United
States department of forestry found In
the University of Nobraska probably
the only man in the country" who was
fitted to the work.
Mr. Sampson took his master's de
gree at this university in 1907, hav
ing specialized in botany and forestry".
When tho quarrel between the grazers
and. the timber men of the Northwest
over the alleged injurious effect of
grazing on timber land reached tho
stage that the government determined
on an Investigation tho various schools
of tho country were searched for a
man who had combined a sufficient
amount of botanical study with, a
knowledge of forestry, Mr. Sampson
was found to fill the requirements and
was given" the place. For .the past
year ho had been at work in eastern
Oregon and his efforts aro'pronounced
