CORNHU8KER8 IN GREAT 8HAPE
FOR TOMORROW'8 GAME.
THE INDIANS ARE IN LINCOLN
Coach Cole and His Pupils Are Work
ing Hard In Preparation for Great
Contest With Carlisle Which
Ends the Season.
The interest of tho entire unlvorBlty
is now contered In ono topic tho Carlisle-Nebraska
game, which takes
place at Antelopo park tomorrow
afternoon. All through tho season this
Cornhusker supporters have been look'
ing forward to this gamo which will
be a fitting climax to the wonderful
season which tho Cornhuskors have
undergone this fall? Nover before In
NobraBka's football history has such a
hard schedule been arranged, and with
the exception of tho ono short porlod
during which tho oxcoBslve domandB
of the series of gruolllng contests com
pelled a lot-up, tho Cornhusker bravoB
have come through the soason with fly
ing colors.
Indians Are Here.
After tholr game with St. Louis on
Thanksgiving day, Coach Warner nnd
hiB Indinn warrlorB left Immediately
for Lincoln and they have beon here
since, putting in regular practice for
their contest with Coach Cole's pupils
tomorrow.
By an arrangement with Manager
Eager the. redskins are allowed to uho
Antelope park every afternoon fromj 1

imt11T'f6rBignai work, which has bo
far been secret. Although several of
tho Indlnns are apparently bruised up
a bit from their battle at St. Louis, yet
Coach Warner says that they will go
into tho game tomorrow In tho best of
condition, and that they expect noth
ing less than a victory.
Cornhuskers Working Hard.
s.
The
Nobraska-Wabash game on
Thanksgiving dny was an agreeablo
surprise for tho majority of tho local
with an easy victory, 27 to 6. At Ihe
beginning of tho game tho "Little
Giants" displayed considerable aggres-
iveness but after the first few minutes
of play neither their offense nor their
dofonBO was able to compare with tho
brilliant work of the Nebraska team.
During the second half, however,
"King" Colo put In a team nlinost en
tirely mado up of substitutes, and the
Wabash aggregation showed up
against them to slightly hotter advant
age. Tho Intention of tho coach in
doing this was to save tho regular men
as much as possible for the great
gamo tomorrow with tho much vaunt
ed red men. At present the Nebraska
team is enjoying first rate physical
'condition and they expect -to put up
the gamo of their lives against Car
lisle. Field In Good 8hape.
Manager Eager has taken every pre
caution to havo tho field in the best
possible condition for the game. After
tho Thanksgiving ganie tho gridiron
at Antelopo park was covered with
straw and consequently tho rains of
Sunday did not harm tho field to any
great extent. This straw covering will
be removed tomorrow morning and if
tho field 1b then too heavy to permit
of fast play It will bo sprinkled with
sawdust and kerosene and sot fire to.
This will mako it perfectly dry, so
that the fast opon play at which both
teams excel may bo Indulged In with
out hindrance.
Nebraska's Chances.
Although tho Indians come here with
a groat reputation and a team tho mer
its of which ate unquestioned, yot tho
supporters of the scnrlot and the
cream beliove that Nebraska lias a
good chance of a victory tomorrow.
T"ey have roaped the boneflte of a
long reBt Blnco the Jayhawkcr contest
nnd thoy are thought to bo in bettor
shapo now In every reHpoot than they
lavo been at any othor thno this Hoa-
son.
It will bo the lost game of college
football for Captain Harvey. Chaloup
ka, Cooko, and possibly for Krogor and
Frum. These players' aff woil as every
othor man on the team will put up
the best fight that he knows how to
mako and it is hard to prodict juftt
what the rojolclng will lend to tomor
row night if tho Cornhuskors triumph

Tho football number of the Dally

MARCHED BEFORE CAMERA.
MOTION-VIEW FOR CORN SHOW
Parading Battalion To Be Feature

Nebraska's Greatest State
Instltuton.
In order that tho thousands of visit
ors who will flock to Omaha next wook
to tho National Corn Show may boo
a realistic exhibition of tho activities
of tho stato unlvorslty, tho cadot bat
talion yestorday paradod at tho' state
farm while films wore takon which will
lator bo thrown on tho canvas at Om
aha In tho shapo of moving pictures.
The cadets loft tho armory shortly
aftor 1 o'clock and wont Immodlatoly
to tho atnto farm. Thoro tho flvo com
panies were formed in battalion form
ation and the wholo command paraded
beforo tho picture machine. After tho
battalion had finished its ovolutlons
Co. A went through somo further drill.
Tho work of tho battalion consisted
simply of parading boforo tho camera.
No attempt waB made at complicated
movements, tho brlof tlmo that tho
cadets havo boon drilling not warrant
ing anything of that sort Company

tailed evolutions.
For Big Exposition.
The pictures taken yostorday, in con
nection with n largo number of othor
views taken nbout tho stato farm, will
bo used at tho natlonnl corn oxposltlon
at Omaha noxt week. This oxposltlon
will attract an lmmonso crowd from

into the thousands, and to all of these
Nebraska and her stato school will bo
advertised through theBO views of tho
stato farm. Only tho agricultural Bldo
of tho school will bo ropresonted, since
tho fair is an agricultural exhibit.
Other states will havo like representa
tions but that of Nebraska will prob
ably rank first In point of both slzo and
excellence.
Tho corn show Is primarily to, pro
mote Interest in corn growing by scien
tific methods and to increase tho
knowledge of tho farmer as to the
proper culture of his crops. It Is a
popular appeal to tho spirit "which haB
In tho past resulted In tho establish
ment of such groat agricultural, instl-.
tutlons as that of Nebraska.
A Wonderful Machine.
The machine with which the pic
tures of the cadet battalion wore takon
yestorday is a wonderful Contrivance.
Described simply, it consists' of a cam
era of high qualfty, fitted with an auto
matic shutter capablo of permitting
exposures m rapid succession of but
a fraction of a second. The film on
wh,ch tno nIctures ar takon is rap-
Idly wound over a spool so that at
each exposure-of tho shutter a separ
ate piece of tho film Is bffered before
the camera aperture. Thus a large
number of separate pictures are made
on tf long film. When rapidly moved
before a calcium these result in tho
popular movlng-plcturo.
