room of the Lindell hotel.

with tho best stuffs obtainable in tho
local market, cooked up in appetising

Attractive Toast List.
An attractive toast list has been
prepared for this banquet and prom
ises to bring forth as much wit as
sparkled around the table at tho fa
mous feed of last fall, colonel Bills,
one of Lincoln's moBt prominent citi
zens and a worthy supporter of tho
university and Its athletic teaniH, win
preside as toastmaster. The selec
tion of Colonel Bills for this position
could not have been improved upon.
Mr. HIb is a keen wit and has a
quick sense of humor that assures a
brilliant flow of happy thoughts from
the head of the table.
Appearing as speakers of the even
ing will bo Governor George Sheldon,
Captain John Worklzer, Dr. Condra,
Coach "King" Cole, Captain James
Harvey, ox-Captain Charles Borg and
probably Walter H. Eckersall, former
University of Chicago football star and
at present football editor for the Chi
cago Tribune, and Coach Alonzo Stagg.
i nls list of speakers brings together
for toasts tho best group of football
enthusiasts and experts that could be
found In the state.
The Last Opportunity.
This will bo tho last opportunity the
students will have of seeing "King"
Cole before ho leaves for the oast to
take up his duties as an attorney in
Toledo. It will be Interesting to hear
what Nebraska's great coach has to
say regarding the success of the sea
son which closes this afternoon.
Governor Sheldon, who has followed
quite closely the playing of the Corn
huskers, will no doubt bo heard with
deep interest by all. The young exec
utive Is a University of Nebraska grad
uate and knows how to deal with uni
versity subjects.
A special invitation has been ex
tended to Walter H. Eckersall and
Coach Stagg of Chicago. Both of these
gentlemen will bo in the city today,
tho former as an umpire In tho game,
and tho latter as a spectator. They
both have always taken a manifest
interest In Nebraska football and un
doubtedly will accept the invitation
to be present this evening. Mr. Ecker
sall during his college career was
probably the greatest football player
In the world, and his views of Ne
braska football will be well worth
hearing.
Coach Stagg Is the most successful
football wizard In tho west. His team
if Maroons have just won tho west
ern championship for the seoend time
within two years. He can give some
mousing insights to football play that
will be sure to entertain thoso who
attend tho banquet this ovening.
