ALL ROUGH PLAY RULED OUT Adoption of Rules Eliminating Slug ging and Kicking From Line Rush Considered Necessary for 8ucces8 of Event. All preliminary arrangements for tho 'Olympics," the annual clash be vtw.een then freshmon and the sopho mores, have been completed nnd the cbmmittees In charge will soon call for tho boxing., ,and wrestling try guts. Chairman' Sfaljery and Chairman At kln of th'o sophomore and ' freshman committees have been buBy tho last week, canvassing the members of the cIobb, In tho hope that every member of the classes will take part In some event or other. Only a few have been cut training for tho wrestling and box ing matched, but several others have promised 'to tako up tho work next week' and both chairmen look for strong representations of their class. Considerable Interest centers In the Marathon race to tho home of Mr. Bryan', and each class will probably outer throo representatives In tho race. No Rough Play. With committees from tho upper claBsmen in charge of the details, It has been announced that eligibility rules governing tho games will be adopted. Tho committees desire it to be expressly understood that rough play shall bo ruled out. If both sides abstain from rough play the final suc cess of tho games are assured. Any ottompt' to slug or kick In the lino rush would undoubtedly result in ser ious injuries to some of the partici pants, and would undoubtedly result In a free for all fight. Such woul.l not only spell the doom of the games hut would also result in tho expulsion of the leaders. Hence It Ib cautioned by the committees in charge that the participants play fair. The boxing will bo divided into three classes heavy, middle and light wolghts. Regular boxing gloves will tbe used and the Marquis and Queens ' bury rnlOB will govern tho contests. Each match will probably consist of six rounds of two minutCB each. The wrestling will be two In three, each round lasting for five minutes. The Line Rush. Tho closing feature of tho games Is the lino rush. Tho plan of tho rush is as follows: Both classes line up their men on two goals, about 110 yards apart. Tho point of tho gam' is for each side to get as many across tho opponents' goal as possible. Thus each side will be divided into two sections, designated as the offensive and defensive. As tho name signifies tho offense will try and gain the op ponents' goal, while tho opposing de fense will nttompt to provent them. Thus tho two sections will meet in tho center of the field and engage In a general wrestling match. Tho time is limited to ten minutes and at tho end then the class having the most men across their opponents' goal will be awarded tho rush. Each ovent will count so many points, and tho class winning tho most points carries off the laurels. Tho events comprise wrestling and boxing matches, Marathon race, tug of war, in (3 lino rush. From present indica tlons tho games will bo held on No vember 14 at Antelopo park. Committee Meet.

BEi NO ISUE OE THE on Campus and NEBRASKA, LINCOLN, FRIDAY, THE LASTJCRIMMAGE CORNHU8KER TEAM 18 READY FOR THE AQQ1E8-. EVERY PLAYER IS CONFIDENT "King" Cole's Pupils Will Leave for Omaha Badly Crippled Up, But Fired With a Determination to Whip the Husky Indians. Tho final Bcrimmagc before the Amos game tomorrow was hold yes terday afternoon at tho State Farm. The practlco waB spirited and tho wonkened 'v.arslty put up a goodgame ngalnBt tho freshmen. The freshmen played about tho fastest ball that they have played this year, and they kept tho 'varsity going every minute, frequently making sub stantial gains through their lino and often broaklng through and spoiling the regular's formations. At the beginning of the BCYlmmago tho 'varsity was woakened consider ably by the absence of players. Frum was not out for practice, Ewlng play ing at left tackle and Bowers at guard. Bentloy was not but nt all and It is questionable If ho will bo able to tako any part In Saturday's gamo. With both Cooko and Bontloy out of tho gamo tho quarterback posi tion will fall to tho caro of Minor and Hnscall. Minor has played consider ably at quarter though not very re cently and It Is hoped that he will hold tho position down satisfactorily IT called upon to do so. "Stub" Has call haH boon doing flrst-clnsB work at this position all fall on tho scrubs but he Incks the experience neces sary to run the 'varBltv team In so Important a contest as the one with Ames. Harte Is Hurt. Although tho 'varsity llno-up was not intact, yet they put up a good front against the freshmen for a few minutes, after which "King" Colo pulled out several of the regulars and replaced them by substitutes who may bo called upon to go Into the game Saturday. i Tho freshmen carried the ball to begin with and on tie first down Waters wont through loft guard for five yards. Frank added two mnro through right tackle and Waters mndo the first down on a lino buck. Tho rreannien rumbled on but Waters recovered yards throuch center. .ho next down. and made five Lofgron failed to gain on a wide run around left end anu unaunor was downod for a loss by Johnson. On an attempted fako forward pass Powers was thrpwn for a loss by Harte. whor sprained his. ankle on tho play and was forced to leave tho gamo. ' -o freBhmen wore followed to re tain tho ball and on th0 first play at tempted another forward pass, which was Intercepted by HarVey. On first down for the 'varsity feoltzer made four yards around right! end. Minor fumbled on tho next nlnV. but Ttn1t7.nr made twenty ynrds on tho third down by a fake punt. Minor! made threo yards on a quarterback run and on tho next play Captain Harvey repeat ed tho stunt which he milled off at Iowa, making a touchdown from a forward pass. Tho freshmon were given tho ball and on a crlBS-cross Frapck made threo yards. Tho froBhmeji fumbled on the second down, hut Powers re covered tho ball. Thoy fumbled agnln on tho following play nnd Johnson se cured tho ,ovnl and ran fpr a touch down. Line-up Changed. At this point Sturtzneggor; Temple, Slaughter, HaBcall, Shonka, Rathbone and Carroll replaced Beltzor, Kroger, Birkner, Minor, Stumor, Johnson and Harvey, respectively, Sturmor having taken Uarto's place at right guard. Thtf 'varsity was glvon tho ball and on firsts down allowed a forward pass March to Antelope Park Headed .by the Band NOVEMBER 6, 1908. to boblockod by Waters. Slaughter mndo two yards through right tacklo, but Stutz was downod for a loss by Chaunor. Tho freshmon took tho ball but failed to gain on n lino buck. Tho frefshmon fumbled and Rnthbono fell ori the ball for tno varsity On a fbrward pbbb Rathbono gained fifteen ynruB and Hnscall added olght on a riuurtorbnck run nround rlchi nmi a 'forward pass bv tho 'vnmltv hit tho ground, but thoy woro allowed to re tain tho ban, Slaughter mndo throo yards through tho lino nnd a forward pass to Hascall notted twolve yards. Hascall waB tackled for a loss by Gibson and Sturtznegger mot the samo fato on an attempted forward pass. Chalouqka failed to gain through loft tacklo and a forward ubh was captured by Frnnck of tho freshmon. Scrubs Play Well. Gibson failed to gain through loft guard, but followod with two yards through center. Gibson made a neat forward pass to Franck for a twonty yard gain. Tho freshmon tried a criss cross forward paBs, but it was unsuc cessful. On a fako kick Gibson was thrown for a loss by Rnthbono and thlB ended tho Hcrlmmngo. Tho froshmen put up an exception ally good exhibition and- Wntors, Lof gron, Gibson, Chaunor and Franck woro especially conspicuous in tho good work. Tho prospects of dofoating Ames nro not ovorly bright, notwithstanding the fact that ovory man on tho team Ib filled with a grim determination to win If Buch a thing Is poslblo. With Cooko, Bentloy nnd probably Harto out of tho game, and sovornl of tho othors In poor condition, tho outlook is dubious. However, the team will bo accom panied by hundrods of loyal support ers who will do their shnro townrd winning tho battle nnd on Saturday tho Nobraska fighting spirit will re celve a Boveror tost than over. Lot evoryono get out to tho big opon rally tonight and get In trim for tomorrow's grent struggle. COLLEGE A880CIATION MEET8. Dr. Besscy Represents the University In Deliberation.

' Probably ovor fifty por cent of tho tcachors who woro in tho city yostor day visited tho cnmpuB of tho uni versity during tho dnv. In thn morn ing thoro woro sovoral hundred who Inspected tho work of tho state Insti tution during ono or moro rocltntlon porlods.

Every budding received Its quota of tonchors who wjshod to Inspect tho work of those claBseB In which thoy woro especially Interested and numbors visited tho administration bulMIngB, tho library, and othor points of gonoral Inter est. Many of the visitors uro old atu donts of tho university who took tho opportunity offorod to visit old class rooms and to pay tholr respects to formor instructors. All Were Interested. One of tho reasons which determ ined tho teachore in holding tho meeting of tho association at this time Instead of during tho Christmas va cntlon as has boon tho custom in formor years waB that thoso In at tendance might, undor tho now ar rangement, seo tho state schobl In practical operation and might moot tho Instructors nnd professors who aro In fact tho educational leadors of tho state In spirit and in Influence. That the teachers appreciated this motive was readily evidenced by tho manner In which thoy took ovory spare mo ment that offered Itself to Inspect the work of tho school an'd talk with the various profeBsora. Tho Tomple was tho scone of sever al sectional meetings and this build ing was crowded with teachers throughout the afternoon. All thu looms In tho building save thoso of tno y. M. C.
