"--: GQRNHUSKER TEAM TO MEET DENVER TODAY COACH COLE'8 MEN TO PLAY IN COLORADO CAPITAL. THE SECOND TEAM GOES TO PERU Scrubs Hope to Repeat Record Last Year by Drubbing Nor malltes on Home Gridiron. of The CornhuBkors are nearlng the end of their season of hard work. The game with Denver today brings them one step nearer the end and they haVo already began, the last lap down the homo stretch of the -1909 season. Denver Hopeful. From the tone of the Denver papers, the Denver team seems to havo a good chance for scoring a victory over the Cornhuskers. This will bo the first game of the season In which all of the Denver regulars will be in the game. Denver enthusiasts base their hopes on the fact that they have a bet ter scoring machine than Nebraska, that is they think they have. They have come to this conclusion by a comparison of the scores of the Nebraska-Dakota and Denver-Dakota games. Nebraska and Dakota played a tie game, 6 to 6, while the Dakotans were defeated by Denver to the tune of 10 to 0. The Denverites, however, are woe fully mistaken If they think the team that, they are to meet this afternoon is the same that played South Da kota, the second week of the season. If comparative scores would andlcate anything, the Dakota game at Denver would make it seem that Denver Is not very strong. The Cornhuskers will slightly out weigh their opponents, but the Den verites havo the heavier back field. The Nebraska hack field will not av erage over 155 pounds, while the Den ver backs will average 175 or better. Nebraska Rooters Ogranized. So far the Colorado weather has heen excellent, and If It continues so, the Denver Post estimates a possible attendance of 6,000. Preparations are also being made by Nebraska men in Denver and the neighborhood to or ganize a rooting club for Nebraska. Tho Denver Post says, "A meeting of all Nebraska rooters and all who wish to join that section, Including Colo rado University, mines and all oth ers, it is expressly stipulated, will-be hold at tho Albany hotel at 1:30 Sat urday afternoon." The game will begin promptly at 2:30, and the lineup will be as fol lows: Denver. Nebraska. Meyers r. e Chauner Taylor r. t Temple Prutor r. g Walcott Greene c Shonka Pike 1. g Ewlng CurtlB 1. 1... Harte Rubs i . .1. e Johnson Brusse q.h Frank Crowloy (c) r.h Magor Volk 1. h Beltzer (c.) Schroedor f. b Rathbone Scrubs Play Peru. While the Cornhuskers and Denver are fighting it out In Colorado, the Scruhs will engage their old enemy at Peru. For several years past the Scruhs and the Normalltes havo met regularly in their annual battle. The games havo always been cloBe and In teresting. Last year the Scrubs brought down a strong team and were ' able to take the schooldads' measure to the tune of 8 to Q. This year the Scrubs are stronger than ever and they .ought to run up a much larger score. They havo already met and held tho strong Mornlngslde team to a tie, and. the players declar.e that they can take Mornlngslde away from their own gridiron and beat them by at least three touchdowns. Tho Scrubs have some of tho most promising material seen on a fresh man team in years, and under tho skillful guidanco of Assistant Coach Harvey they havo developed wonder fully. Tho Scrubs are always handi capped In having to learn and digest so many styles of play, but this year's team has taken Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas, and Denver formations and developed them bo woll In a few days that they havo been able to give tho varsity all they can handle. Potter, quarterback and captain of the team, Frank and Wood halves, Gibson at full, Hornborgor at center, Warner at end, and Kositaky at tacklo are all considered varsity caliber, and will make a strong fight for positions on tho regular team noxt year. Other promising momhers of the team aro Curtis, Franklin, Bley, Dunleavy, Hlb ben, Krugor, Zazeck, Ray, Elwoll, Smith, Barbour, and George. One member of the team, at least, will not be unknown to tho Normal ites. Jimmy Gibson, whoso punting was bo great a factor in winning last year's game, will be back and is ex pected to boot the ball harder than ever. With such a strong lineup the Scrubs ought to have no trouble In winning hy a good margin. "THE CREATION" NEXT TUE8DAY University Chorus to Give Big Musical Before Thanksgiving. Following the custom of several years, tho university chorus will give a musical of unusual quality at convo cation next Tuesday. Haydn's "Crea tion" Is the selection to be rendered and the chorus will he assisted by soloists and an orchestra, In addition to tho piano and organ. The following soloists will appear: Miss Annette Abbott, Mr. Aden En years, Mr. Charles H. Miller. ENGINEER8' HOP LA8T NIGHT. Good Weather and Attendance Made Second Affair a 8uccess. The engineers' hop, which was held lost evening in Fraternity hall, was a distinct success In. every particular. The hop was well attended and as the evening was far from stormy those at tending the dance were not incon venienced In getting to or from the hall, as a week ago. John Hogo was chairman of the hop and Oscar OlBon master of ceremo nies. This Is the second hop given by the engineers, and owing to the success of those In the past two years it is a custom which in all probability will become permanent. It was the third university dance of the season. TWO DEBATING TEAM8 PICKED. Men Named for Iowa and Minnesota Contests December 10. Urofessor M. M.

PHENOMINAL RECORD FOR THE YEAR Classes Will Not 8 tart Until After Thanksgiving, Although a Prelim inary Meeting Will Be Called Before That Time. The two dayB' canvass for men to register for tho missionary coursoB nffornrl liv (ha linlirnrilfir V XT n A has closed, with 157 men enrolled. I This enrollment Is three or four times larger than that of any previ ous years and marks tho most ro markablo browth that department of the association work has ever seen. While the campaign closed with 157 men enrolled for the work, the enroll ment ought to go to 175 when all of the returns aro In and some of tho remaining canvassing Is finished. The enrollment was remarkably heavy In the law school, nearly all of the men registering for tho course entitled "Our Foreigners, or the Immigration Problem," which will be in charge of Frank A. Harrison, tho editor of the Nebraska State Capital. Work Was Divided. The enrollment of tho men was in charge of E. K. Andrews, and tho task of enrolling tho men was split up Into sections, each of which was in charge of a sub-chairman. Andrews had charge of the enrollment of the mod leal college, G. A. Festal of tho lit erary students, M. R. Gllmoro of tho law school, and W. O. Forman of tho engineers. Each of these men had charge of a committee of six or seven men, and the departments were thor oughly canvassed. Altogether It was one of the most complete- and thorough canvasses the missionary committee of tho Y. M. C. A. has ever made, and the results, while slightly under the mark set for tho campaign, aro far from unsatis factory. The number which the asso ciation tried to onrp.ll In the work was two hundred. While they fell over twenty-five short of thlB, yet the In crease over former years has been very gratifying to those In chargd of tho wprk. During the past only twenty-five or thlrty-flvo men have been enrolled In the classes. Tho campaign was started Tuesday evening, when the entire committee met for 6 o'clock dinner In the ban quet room of' tho Temple. At that time tho plans for tho campaign wore qarofully explained in detail to the men and the chairmen gave their In structions. On Wednesday night tho committee met again for supper in the same room and discussed tho progress of the campaign and the plans for tho next day's work. Four Courses Offered.

Geographical Department Has Speci mens Which Attract Attention. A great deal of Interest 1b being manifested over tho state among pro fossors and students of geography in Professor Bengston's collection of rocks and minerals. ThiB collection is one gathered In the main by ProfosBor Bongston himself, tho other speci mens being somo which could not bo obtained In the west It Is principal ly Nebraska materials and Is very useful to the students of Nebraska geography. In tne Nebraska part of tho collec tion Is found every Important phase of each geological formation In the state. It contains tho oldest forma tions, the Pennsylvanlan, and then runs through tho various periods showing' the limestone, sandstone, shale, chalk rock and duno sand, weatnered and unwoathered, and a numher showing numerous fossils. Then there are all tho subfaclal soils, besides a number of specimens from the Black Hills. There are samples of most of the important building stones. The remainder of the collec tions consists of a number of com mon rocks, such as coals, grantlnes and marbles. Tho specimens are UBed In tho geograpny laboratories. rmero are about sixty-five of tho specimens. Pro fesBOr Bongston has taken specimens of the most Important of these rocks and furnished them to high schools over the state for use in the class room. There aro about fifteen of these now In uso and are proving vory sat isfactory and somo very flattering tes timonials havo been sent to tho pro fessor on the value of the collection. They are furnished the schools at the cost of collecting and shipping. There Is ajso a smaller' collection of twenty-flvo specimens being pro pared for use in grade schools. This Is to be used as an auxiliary to Dr. Condra's geography text-book on Ne braska. This collection Is expected to have a large sole. The University of Iowa is having a $75,000 addition made to tho univer sity hospital. At Carlisle there Is a movement on foot to substitute lacrosse for base ball. ' ' OFFICIAL ESTIMATE SHOWSJG INCREASE registrar announces figures FOR NOVEMBER 1. EXPECTING A TOTAL Of OVER 4,000 With Present Rate of Increase Ne braska Will 8oon Be the Larg est University In ' the West. That tho Unlvorslty of Nebraska will break a posslblo rulo of universi ties In tho Ihcroaso of registration 1b a possibility this yoar. Tho rulo of tho Increaso of tho various universi ties Ib that tho lncroaso of ono yoar 1b decreased proportionately In tho following year. This Is porhaps woll oxampled In this school. In tho yoar 1904-5 tho lncroaso In registration was 215. Tho noxt yoar tho registra tion increased only 180, and tho fol lowing year tho lncroaso waB 216. This provos tho rulo that tho largo lncronso of ovon years brlngB tho smaller IncroaBo of tho odd years up to tho average. Chango This Year. Tho hopes of tho administrative of ficers of tho unlvorslty this yoar has boon to bring tho total registration of tho studonts of tho unlvorslty up to 4,000. Thoso hopes woro Increased when tho total of tho students of tho unlvorslty who registorod tho first semester was figured. According to authentic sources just announced thero havo boon 3,402 students who havo passed their registration slips over tho counter In tho registrar's of fice. If to this number Is added tho num ber of students who will register for the winter torm of tho school of agri culture, thoso who may still register for tho first somester, tho now stu dents for tho second semester and tho possible Increaso of registration in tho school of music, tho hoped of tho ad mlnlstartlvo department havo sound basis for 4,000 students to register In tho University of Nebraska. Past Registration. For tho past two years tho numbor of students who havo registorod In tho unlvorslty havo boon abovo throo thousand, and this year this number has boon far in oxcess of that figure. The figures for these years aro as follows: 1st Som. Total. 1907-8 2,812 3,237 1908-9 3,154 3,611 Nov. 1 approx. 1909-10 3,402 4,000 These totals of November 1st might vary slightly If greater detail was taken In compiling them. Thero Is a slight chance that double registration may occur and ono or two other mat ters which cause tho figures to vary to a slight degree. Growth Rapid. That the university , has had a steady growth in the past few years can be easily proven by the rate of the Increaso of students. For the past five years tho average increasing number in the registration has been about 220. fPhls number can be -found by subtracting the registration' of one year from that of tho year following. Tho figures for tho Increase In the number of students entering the uni versity are as follows: Enrollment 1904-5 27282513 1905-6 29142728 1900-7 313029,14 1907-8 32373130 1908-9 : 36113237 Inc. 215 186 21G 107 374 This makes for the five years a to tal increaso of 1098, or an average in crease of 220 yearly. That this uni versity will ultimately come to be the strongest university in the west in regard to tho number of students la.' the prospect, if the numbor of stu dents who register increase at the 1 same rate as they have in the past H n
