LOTS OF GOOD MATERIAL OUT Many Football Men Are Out for Bas ketball and Gymnasium Is Crowd ed Four Times a Week at Practice. Apparently moro Intorost Is being manifested In basket-ball this year than has been shown at Nebraska for years. Tho prospects for a win ning team aro particularly bright and this fact lohds to tho interest and onthuslasm which the baskot ball players of Uie school are exhibiting. Almost all of the star players of last season's fast team are back in r DOBBS school, the only soriouB losses being ex-Captain Paul Bell at left guard and RusBell Burru8S from forward. Those playerB were among the most reliablo of last year's team but It is hoped that from the multitude of material which Dr. Clapp now haB to work witl, that their places will bo filled with strong players. Tho number of men who are turning out for practice Is almost unprecedent ed. Even before the close of the xoot ball season Dr. Clapp expressed nlm self as being much gratified with the large number of promising candidates who had turned out for practice, but with the closing of the football sched ule this number has been greatly In creased.

On Saturday evening In the Armory tho first gamo of tho season will bo played and at that tlmo a good line on tho team may be obtained. The game Is with tho team from Cotner univer sity nnd inasmuch bb the Cotnor team has beon practicing hard for Bovoral weeks It Is oxpected that they will give the varsity a hard rub. They are awaro of the advantago thoy have In having beon at work longer and con fidently xpect to win tho game. In the Cotnor game Dr. Clapp will very probably try out all of the moro promising of the candidates so as to ee how they show up In action against another team. So far there aro somo fifteen or twenty men outside of tho ones who played on tho team last sea son who havo showed sings of being or varsity caliber and it Ib Dr. Clapp's Intention to glvo thorn all a thorough trial before he begins tho weedlng-out process. Juniors Defeated. LiihI evening the junior class team wuh defeated by tho fast team from the city Y. M. C. A. The gamo was played under tho A. A. IT. rules and consequently tno Juniors, who have been playing under the Inter-colle-plate rules all the time, wero greatly handicapped. A further disadvantage was the size of the floor. Tho game vhBvl)lhyed utrfn'e'lr. M. C. A., where the floor Is much smaller than in the Armory, und It took tho juniors somo time before thoy could accustom them selves to the change. The junior class team Is casting longing glances toward the class cham pionship pennant, and they are put ting In some good licks In tho hope of developing a team that can land the title. The varsity squad will meet in the gym ut 4 o'clock this afternoon to go through signal practice for tho Cotner game.
