FUMBLING LOSES VALUABLE GROUND Franck Plays Good Game for Ne braska With Beltzer Making 8plendld Forward Passes for Good Gains. It was a big Burprlso to two thousand enthusiasts that 6 to 6 tie score. Thousands of loyal Nebraska students who wore wont to see their doughty champions mow down the strongest teams In the west were surprised by the onward march of tho South Da kotans. But they were loyal supporters of tho Scarlet and Cream and supported the team by enthusiastic rooting when tho players rallied In tho second half. Two outside kicks and a beautifully executed forward pasB wore then re sponsible for tho only touchdown Ne braska made. That score tied South Dakota's first half record and saved tho Cornhuskers from defeat II was a good tost, just the thing Nebraska has needed, for it showed up tho weak points of tho team. Both coach and players now understand their problem a little better than they did a week ago and they "know what they will have to do in tho next two woekB If they expect to stand a ghost of a show when they meet Minnesota In Omaha a week from next Saturday. Tho outlook does not look very en couraging for victory, for while Ne braska was holding South Dakota to a tlo s,core here, Minnesota was walk ing over Iowa at Minneapolis to the tune of 41 to 0. But much may hap pen In two weeks. Fumbling Did It. - Tho failure to win Saturday's game Is charged to fumbling by Nebraska's back field, but tho back field were not wholly to blame. In fact they played very good ball and showed good team work for players who wore new to each other and for the limited amount of time they have had to practice. The cause must be sought elsewhere, and It can be found In tho weakness of Ne braska's line and ends. Time and again South Dakota linesmen broke through and to thlB fact Is due much of the Bhaky playing by Nebraska's back field. South Dakota had all tho best of tho argument In punting and running back punts. Thackaberry for South Dakota prbved himself ono of the best ground gainers over seen on a No- braska field. Time and again be elud ed Nebraska ends after catching a punt and returned tho ball from fif teen to twenty yards, while Franck and Bentley for Nebraska wore usu ally downed in their tracks by South Dakota's speedy ends. Franck's Good Game. Franck was Nebraska's best ground gainer. His running was hard and speedy. Several times ho got away for long runs. One in tho second was for thirty-five yards and but for a bit of hard luck ho would havo secured a touchdown. Again In the last half minute of play he Bayed the game for Nebraska by tackling Keeling, who had recovered the ball on a punt and who'had already reached. Nebraska's , ton-yard line. Seltzer's work was good, but not up . to his usual brilliant standard. Both ho and Bentley have not boon In con dition for their best work. Bentley deserves much credit for his plucky work considering tho fact that for two days he had been too ill to practice. Harto and Temple at tackles also proved good line plungers and were strong defensive men. For South Dakota Thackaberry and P. Coffey starred. Coffey played a brilliant defensive game and did some fierce line plunging. The Game In' Detail. South Dakota won the toss and chose to defend the east goal. Franck kicked off to South Dakota's twenty yard line. South Dakota returned ten yards and then Thackaberry punted to Franck on Nebraska's fifty-yard line. Franck returned ten yards and Beltzer punted. Thackaberry fumbled. Sturtznegger falling on the ball on South Dakota's thirty-yard line. Sturtznoggor make b!x yards on a cross buck, Beltzer made twelve yards around right end. Franck fumbled, a South Dakota man broke through and secured the ball in an open field, but was tackled by Temple. Thackaberry punted out of danger.to South Dakota's fifty-yard line. No return. A forward pass, Beltzer to Lofgren, netted eigh teen yards. Franck again fumbled, South Dakota securing tho ball. Thack aberry again punted to Nebraska's forty-yard line.

"" "Sid" Collins, the one man who more than any other might havo turned Saturday's game with South Dakota Into a Nebraska victory, Is a secqnd-year law student. He is 24 5 ears old, weighs 175 pounds, and was last year accorded to be one of the strongest lipo men In the Missouri Val ley. He is now probation officer of Lincoln, and attempts to arrange his return to tho gridiron have so far been unsuccessful. Beltzer nutde four yards. Nebraska was hitting South Dakota's lino hard when tho line gave way, causing an other fumble, but Sturtznegger recov ered tho ball. Beltzer made five yards around right end. The ball was on South Dakota's twenty-yard line when Nebraska fumbled again. This time It proved disastrous. Thackaberry again kicked out of danger to Nebras ka's fifty-yard lino. Nebraska tried an onslde kick, but it was caught and re turned to tho middle of the field. South Dakota's Defense. South Dakota began to assume the defensive. Five yards were made through Nebraska's line when Thack aberry again punted to Nebraska's twenty-five-yard line. An attempted forward pass failed and Nebraska was penalized fifteen yards. This put the ball on Nebraska's ten-yard line. Belt zer punted and the ball was returned to Nebraska's twenty-yard lino, South Dakota carried the ball five yards and then wore penalized fifteen yards for failure to make good on a forward pass. Coffey made five yards through "center. A fake punt netted South Da kota fifteen yards and put tho ball on Nebraska's ten-yard lino. Nebraska's "stonewalV was vulnerable and by successive plunges South Dakota car-" rled the ball oyer for a touchdown (Continued on page 4.) HOFFMAN VS. CAMPBELL CLASSJECIDES TODAY 8ENIOR8 TO ELECT PRE8IDENT AT 11:30 THIS MORNING. SENIORS WILL MEET NEXT THURSDAY Oberfelder and Cain Remain the Only Candidates of Third Year Men Freshmen Laws Elect Nekt Friday. With tho onior class election at 11:30 this morning in Memorial Hall, the first of tho class political scraps will come to a close. R. E. Campbell and Fred Hoffman are tho candidates for the senior presidency and tho vot ing is likely to bo-cloBO. Tho senior election has been marked by quiet but persistent cam paigning. Thero has probably not been a first semester senior election for Boveral years sodovold of excite ment. Fred Hoffman, tho first candi date out, is an Acacia. Ho oxpocts to receive the support of tho faction which last spring elected Paul Yates president of the class. He will prob- ably get a good share of tho law vote and of tho medics, with a minority of the engineers. R. E, Campbell Is an engineer and he will probably pull a majority of tho votes of that college. His affiliation with Alpha Tau Omega is counted upon to give him tho big end of the fratornlty and sorority vote, although Hoffman will not be without some sup port In these quarters. The academic college will be badly split between tho two candidates, and both admit that the total result will probably bo close. All of this prophecy is, however, likely to 'be upset by the candidacy of M. E. Streeter, which was rumored strongly last night. Streeter is an en gineering student without fraternity or other affiliations. Ho is however, a very popular man and his candidacy would without doubt materially weaken the present support of both. Hoffman and Campbell. 'If ho enters the race this morning the whole situ ation will be materially changed. Juniors Thursday. - The junior class' election wljl bo .held Thursday at 11?30 In Memorial Hall, A. M, Oberfelder arid Harry L. Cain are the candidates in this class. Oberfelder was on the' ground at the beginning of registration arid secured a considerable lead by his early start. Cain came out a week ago today and bis friends havo been working hard since that time. Oberfelder is without fratornlty or other aulllations. His home is at Sid ney. He is one of tho two publiBhors of the football bcoio pamphlets for tho present season. Cain is a Phi Delta Theta and an engineering student. He will in all likelihood draw a majority of tho frn ternlty vote, although Oborfolder har tho active support of a Btrong minor ity of tho Greoks. The engineering vote will largely go to Cain. Tho law vote will bo split, with tho chances favoring Oberfelder. In tho academic college Oborfolder claims a big fol lowing. The election will probably bo won by a Btnall majority. No 8ophs Out. To dato thero is not a single candi date for the presidency of tho sopho more class. Tho Bophomoro election is due to bo hold a week from today, and tho field seems to bo still open to first-comers. In tho freshman class Coe Buchanan of Omaha would liko to be president, Buchanan has as yot no opponents, but it is said that out-in-tho-state men will select a candidate shortly to run on an anti-Omaha platform. If such a movo is made it will probably be an nounced within a couple of days. Tho feeling against Omaha, which was high a few years ago, has largely died out. Tho action of ono class last year, however, in throwing four or five of fices to Omaha mon, aroused some comment and may be made the basis of anothor antl campaign. Tho freshmen laws annonuce an election In U309 at 11 a. m. Friday for tho election of officers. At present H. R. Ankeny is tho only presidential candidate. UNION LITERARY RECEPTION. New 8tudent8 Welcomed at Open Ses sion Held Last Week. The Union Literary Society held a reception to new and old students In their rooms on the third floor of tho Templo Friday evening and over a hundred guests were present. This reception was the formal opening of tho literary soclotycs social year, and proved a success in every respect. ' A ehort porgram was given, consisting of a vocal solo by L. A. Barnes, a piano duet by Miss Given and Miss Cham bers and a vocal solo by Miss Blanche Buohler. JACK BE8T HAS FAITH IN TEAM. Believe That Nebraska Men Have Stuff In Them Despite Sat urday's Game. Notwithstanding Saturday's tie game, Jack Best is optimistic over tho football outlook. Jack says it does not take big men to make a good foot ball team and cites as examples Ben edict and Cooke. It takes grit and endurance to uphold the Scarlet and Cream, sayB "Jack," and the patriotic trainer has a lot of faith in tho Ne braska men. NO DRILL OF COMPANY "K." Captain of New Company Resigns and Delays Organization 'for a Few Days. Owing to tho resignation of C. P. Soderberg as captain' of Company "K," that division of the, cadet at tallon will not drill for several days. Soderberg was appointed captain lastvweek, but he, resigned yesterday Pending the appointment of a succes sor the company will not be organized. Nothing is known of tho probable ap pointment of the new captain. Notice. - All men who aro interested -In fencing or, in the formation of a feny lng association are requested to meet In Dr. Clapp's office Tuesday, October 5, at 11 o'clock. ; . UNIFORMS CAUSE THE PERSUINGS TROUBLE LL-FEELING BETWEEN 8TUDENT8 AND CITY FIRM. SUIT HOUSE UNDERSOLD STUDENTS Consequently Pershlngs Sought to Have Farquhar Ousted from thb CampuB, Which Couldn't Be Done. Considerable Ill-fooling has boon rlfo during tho past several days among members of tho Pershing RifloB and a downtown clothing house over tho sale of tho uniforms to the cadet battalion this year. The Pershlngs feel that tho action of the city house in estab lishing an agenpy for the salo of tho uniforms Infringed upon tho organiza tion's vested rights, and thoy haven't liked It a bit. The selling of uniforms to the stu dent body has always boon of consider able importance to both tho dealer soil ing the uniforms and tho studonts buy ing them. Tho uniforms chango from time to timo, many wear out, and many of tho students leaving the bat talion wish to keep their uniforms as a Bouvonir of many hours' hnrd walk ing. Hence tho numbor of second-hand BUlts that can be obtained at tho bo ginning of each school year is lim ited. Consequently a largo numbor of new uniforms are sold each yeaf. Trouble 8tarted. This year trouble was encountered by both the students and those sell ing the uniforms as to Just who tho student should buy his uniform of, and as to which uniform was the standard one. For tho past few years tho Per shing Rifles have been taking tho or ders for the majority of tho students' uniforms. They claim' to have dono this, not as' a money making enterprise for tho members of the Pershing Riflos, but for tho benefit of tho stu dent body. Thoy also claim to uso whatever profits come to them from the salo of uniforms for the purchas ing of colors and the like for tho bat talion. This year the Pershing Rifles started out as usual to sell the uni forms to tho students. However they -wore not alono in the field. Several of tho business Aims of the city wore also bidding for the students' orders, 'and the Farquhar Clothing company also established a desk in the Armory, whore students could have their meas ures taken for uniforms. Farquhar was selling the uniforms to the student body for $13.50, whilo the Pershing Rifles were selling them at $14.60, or for one dollar more than Farquhar. Many of tho students todd (advantage of the difference in price to order their uniforms of Farquhar. Pershlngs Mad. As soon as the Pershing Rifles heard of this they sent a representative to find out if the admitting of tho Far quhar Clothing company to competi tion with them on tho campus was not contrary to the regulations. The au thorities, however, hejd that Jn tho first place a student has a right to i buy where ho pleases, and in the sec ond place that the Pershing Rifles when belling, 'Uniforms are. , acting merely in the capacity of a clothing company and as such can only be treated the same as the other compet ing clothiers. Tho fact that they claim to be selling the uniforms for a semi-benevolent purpose gives them no more monopoly than the fact that the Y. M. C. A. is a benevolent Insti tution ,,should give it a right to sell all' tho books for the university and , turn the. tfroflts over for benevolent purposes.
