"Thoy aro off!"
Practlco is over, tho flnlsbing
touches have boon put on and both
teams are on their mottlo, ready for
tho big contest
The' last practice boforo tho game
was held at the stato farm yester
day. Tho team was put through a
good two hours' work, consisting of
signal practice, punting, kicking off
and returning tho ball. Tho extreme
ly hot weather for this time of year
made thd practice very oxbausting.
Much foar is entertained that it such
weathor should contlnuo tho gamo
this attornoon will rcsolvo ltsolf into
A tost of endurance Tho halves in
today's gamo aro to bo tho limit, thir-ty-flvo
mlnutcB each. With Buch
weathor provailing many substitutes
will likoly havo to bo used by both
squads before tho game is finished.
Such a contingency would necossltato
tho ubo by Nebraska of many of hor
sub back field men. It is likely then
that most of tho men who havo boon
working out in tho back field will be
used in this afternoon's game.
Great Enthusiasm.
Every day tho enthusiasm among
tho Cornhuskor supporters increases.

Yesterday pennants, in tho Cornhusk
or colors, crimson and cream, and
bearing thp motto, "Wo must boat
Kansas," wore distributed among tho
students and citizens of thq town.
Theso pennants afo designed to bo
worn on tho lapel or can bo pinned
to tho waist.
Football enthusiasts could bo seen
gathered In groups about tho campus
discussing tho Cornhuskors' chances
and devising means to combat tho tor
rlblo Jayhawk yoll. Never in years
has so much intorost and enthusiasm
been" manifested on tho evo of a big
haUlo."" It is safe to Bay that if Ne
braska dooB not win today's contest,
and with it tho championship of the
Missouri Valley, tho fault .cannot bo
attributed to lack of loyal support on
(ho part of tho student body.

team was accompaniod by tho varsity
band and ovor two hundred Jayhawk
ers, who proceeded immediately to
make their prosonco known. From tho
timo of tho arrival of tho special tho
Kansas colors became qulto conspicu
ous on tho atreots and in other places
about tho city.
Tho KanBans wero a hopeful bunch
and wero confident of victory. Late
last night odds of twp to ono wore
being offorod that tho Jayhawkers
would tako tho Conhuskors' mqasuro,
but this monoy was all gobbled up al
most as soon as it was offorod.
Various estimates as to the attend
ance at this afternoon's gamo aro bo
ing made. If tho advanco sale of re
served seats can bo taken as any in
dication, thoro will bo at least four
thousand spectators and tho proba
bilities aro that tho attendance will
bo mucli largor.
Game Begins at Two-thirty.
This afternoon's game begins a lit
tle earlier than usual. For various
reasons tho management of the two
teams havo decided to begin the game
promptly at two-thirty. Everyone
should1 tako special noto of this fact
and bo on hand early, as tho gamo
must be called at that time.
Tho Nebraska team will probably
lino up as follows:
Chaunor, right end.
Temple, right tackle.
Ewlng, right guard.
Shonka, center.
Wolcott, left guard.
"Harto, loft tackle.
Johnson, left end.
-Frank, Bontley, quarter back.
Frank, Magor, right half.
'Boltzer (capt). left half.
Rathbono, full back.
Nothing definite has been given out
as to Kansas, but tho following is a
tentative lineup:
Amnions, left end.
Caldwell, left guard.
Smith, loft tackle.
Carlson, center.
Lovott, right guard. ,
Brownlee, right end.
Johnson, quarter back.
Pleasant, loft half

is now open to only tho football squad
and tho coachos. Secrot practice start
ed Mondny and will contlnuo tho rest
of tho week. Boforo this weok only
tho old plays havo been used, but this
week now formations, trick playB and
open stylo football 1b being used. Tho
coaches will give out no definite infor
mation regarding tho stylo of play to
bo used Saturday, but admit that It
all depends upon that used by tho
CornhuBkors.
Ono of tho hardest Jobs of selecting
for tho lineup to begin tho gamo will
bo tho halvoB. Thero aro at present
no Iobs than flvo men who aro work
ing at these positions Magill, a now
man on tho team, will probably Btart
at right half, unless ho blows up dur
ing tho final work;. Pleasant, captain,
who starred last year at end,has been
shifted to half for the last games, and
If Amnions of last year's Tyros can
hold the loft end of tho lino, tho cap
tain will play at half. However, Aber
nnthy, Wilholm and Bond aro men to
bo depended upon and will probably
get In tho gamo. Of this trio Bond, a
"K" man, is probably tho best and
may work In Pleasant's place provid
ed the latter is shifted to tho line.
Pleasant is a whirlwind at offense and
holds up the lino at defense.
Tho defense, which is tho only real
weakness of tho Jayhawkor team, will
bo tho point of attack of tho coaches
In tho final preparations. Both Ken
nedy and Moase say that tho mejx are
equal to the ovor-vIctoriouB team on
off on so, but admit that thoy aro "off"
In holding a strong team from the
goal lino.
Yalo will dopend largely upon hor
kicks this fall. Johnson is tho best
punter In tho squad.

Today's gamo with Kansas is tho
sixteenth gridiron contest whloh
Cornhuskors and Jayhawkors havo
played in tho past olghtoen yoars.
Curiously enough, tho victories of each

Nebraska has scalped tho Lawronco

Nebraska and Kansas rivalry has
been a thing proverbial in the history- "
of western athletics for a scdro oC -years.
In all branches of athletics tho '
two schools havo at ono timo or an-
other clashed, although at tho present
timo thoir rivalry Is not maintained In T
all kinds of sport. At all tlmos Kan- -sas
and Nebraska havo regarded each' '
other as one of tho greatest rivals r
which each had to contend with. At'
tlmos tho anti-Missouri fovor at Law-
renco or tho Minnesota, antagonism at '
Llncojn. has obscured for a Boason tho
Kansas-Nebraska: rivalry, but It "has
only been for a short timo. Kansas'
and Nebraska havo throughout re-
malned intense Tlvul4, and today's '
strugglo will but see a revival of tho
old spirit. '
