OLD MEN NEEDED BACK IN NEBSASKA LINE-UP FORMER "N" MEN COULD HELP CORNHU8KER LINE. IMPROVEMENTS IN THIS WEEk'S WORK Monday and Tuesday's Practice Shows Gain Over Ragged Work of Last Week and South Dakota Game. Football prospects looked rather gloomy Saturday evening and the Mon day following the South Dakota game. The faint-hearted indulged in all kinds of wild speculations and ex pressed their fears of a disastrous season. But since Monday's practice and that of yesterday afternoon Ne braska football stock has taken a de cided boom. Tho team, nothing daunted by tho poor showing of Sat urday, have gone into tho work the past few days with a zest that shows they have not lost any of their fight ing spirit at least Tho work of tho past two days is encouraging and goes to show that all is needed is a little more time, a lit tle more encouragemont, a little more boosting and tho addition of the two or three men who aro still holding out to again place Nebraska in the front rank among western colleges. Could Help If Would. There are several men now in school who with a little sacrifice on their paht could give tho Nebraska, team this added Btrenth so necessary to its success. These men aro being anx iously watched these days and much pressure is being brought to bear to Induce them to make this sacrifice for their alma mater. Hit is tho opinion of many students that' there is no moro loyal student in the University of Nebraska than "Sid" Collin's. His case is peculiar. He has a. fine paying position as probation of ficer, ono that he can hold and carry his work at school as well. If he were to get out for football it would necessitate his throwing up this posi tion and perhaps make it necessary for him to remain out of school an other yoar. Collins has ben charged with remaining off the. squad for self lsh motives. Hid friends "will not ad mit this to be true and they believe that there Is no student at Nebraska who would sacrifice or who has sacri ficed more than, Collins. It is to be earnestly hoped, however, that some arrangements can bo made whereby the Nebraska oleven of 1909 can have the services of this great player. Others Not In Game. But there aro others who have less excuse for remaining . out Walcott and Ewlng are 8(111 waiting for re ports from their examinations. It is thought that both of these men may. be In the harness before the end of the week. Another sldellner Is Ben Bowers. Last year he proved a good linesman and , saw some service. He played guard during the lattor part of the last half of tho Iowa game, Bowers has .had considerable experience at center, or ho could bo used' at some other lino position, So far he has made no effort to get out, though it , seems there Is nothing to hinder his doing so. Of course those men all have their reasons, but as Coach Cole said last evening, it Ib almost Inconceivable that men who are eligible and who are so much needed by the team would hosltato to give their services at such a time of need. Yesterday's Practice. Yesterday's practice brought out ono now man? and It Is hoped that,tomor- . rowfwltysee more,, .Yestofdayaddl. tion was none oilier than'.Bobby Car UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA, LINCOLN, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1909." rol, basoball player and general all' round athlete. Carroll will try for an ! end position. Ho was a little late in getting started, but Is in good condi tion, having practiced with Beltzer a good part of tho past summer. He will mako a Btrong fight for a posi tion at one of tho ends. There are now five candidates for tho end posi tions, Lofgren, Chauner, Johnson, Ma jor and Carroll. With these five men fighting for a placo there ought to be no question that in the coming games opposing backs will have a little more difficulty in ' Circling Nebraska's end for any long gains. Hard scrimmage Is tho order of the week from now on until the gamo with Knox collego next Saturday. UNIVER8ITY CHORU8 MEN DRILL. Singers Must Drill Two Days and Sing Two Days Each Week.

On tho evening of competitive drill last year company A mot and formally organized a company A club, which procedure was not mado public until last night The club, consisting of tho men from company A, at their meeting last spring elected Yale Hoi" land president pro tern, and H. L. Cain secretary and treasurer pro tern. They also voted In Captain Worklzer, then commandant of tho battalion, as the first honorary member. The "Company A Club," as it is now called, will soon make Its organ ization a live ono by pulling off a so cial function in tho Armory on Thurs day, October 14. Tho arrangement's for this affair have not yet been com pleted, but overythinc is nolntine to what is, commonly termed a "pie feed."1 Besides the eating of pie and other soldierly amusoments, tho club will In Itiato a number' of new men Into the secrets of their organization; BATTALION ON NEW GROUND8.

All of the companies were out but company K, which lacked a captain.

STREETER IS INJECTED INTO RACE Engineering 8tudent Made a Candidate by His Friends Without His Own Approval and Excitement Is Aroused. In an election replete with striking peculiarities, Fred Hoffman, a tech nical agriculturist, was yesterday elected president of tho senior clasB. Hoffman received 97 votes on the first ballot. HIb closest rival, It. B. Campbell, a fourth year engineer, polled 47 votes. M. E. Streeter, also an engineer, received 31 counts. At almost tho last moment a quiet two weoks, was changed Into a contest of Intense Interest by the Injection Into tho race of M. E. Streotcr. Streeter was not an avowed candidate for tho presidency. His entering tho race was entirely tho result of volun tary agitation on tho part of friends who started a boom for him Monday evening. Streeter himself did not credit the reports of his candidacy until his nom ination at tho class meeting at Me morial Hall. Ho then attempted to withdraw, buthls request was not al lowed and ho received 31 votes. His position had added embarrassment -Inasmuch as he made the speech nom inating Hoffman. Ho voted 'for Hoff man and supported blm throughout the campaign. Campbell's Credits. Additional interest was aroused among seniors by the use of a docu ment originating from the registrar's office aBsertipg that Campbell had not enough credits to qualify as a senior, In his Bpeech nominating Campbell, Ralph Moseley declared this report false and presented credentials from Registrar Harrison asserting that Campbell was a full senior. His ac tion led many students to believe that tho previous circulation of tho report denying Campbell's qualifications was false. That this was a mistaken Idea was tho statement mado by tho registrar's office yesterday afternoon. Campbell had credits amounting to 84 hours, whereas 89 are required for senior rank. After tho first statement to this effect was Issued by the office, the senior candidate made arrangements with an instructor whoreby ho was al lowed additional credit on back sub jects. By this deal he qualified as a scnlpr and the registrar .then Issued tho statement presented by Moseley in class meeting. Details of Meeting. Tho meeting yesterday was called to order by Presldont Yates, Nomina tions for president wore called for and M. E. Streeter named Fred Hoff man in a brief speech, in which ho dwelt upon him as a candidate who would harmonize the Various InterestE of the class. Campbell wbb named by Ralph Moseley. Moseley said his candidate needed no defense and closed by of fering tho registrar's' statdmont as to his credits,' W. O. Bauman ndmlnated M. E. Streeter, declaring in his speech the fact that his friends were supporting him without hjs desire. O., C, Long moved that the nomina tions bo closed, and Everts.
