last year's' regulars baeTc in tho game,
and are reinforced by two very fast
freshmen of laBt year.
Ames Has Veterans.
Tho old men aro Brown and Her
bert, forwards, and MOBher right
guard. All threo of thoso men aro
good, strong players, as tho Cornhusk
ers remember. Tho two new men, Do
Veltrup and Walker, woro members of
last year's freshman team arid wero
only kept off tho regulars because of
tho eligibility rules. Brown and Do
Voltrup were formerly mombers of
tho famous Sioux City Giants. This
is tho team that cleaned up every
thing they met in 1903-04, and woro
not defeated until they mot tho Cen
tral Y. M. C. A. team of Chicago In
tho "world's championship series at
tho St Louis Exposition in the sum
mer of 1904.

Aggies proved easy victims to Captain
Walsh's men at that time. Tho Corn
huskors won both games hero and one
of tho gamos at Amos-.- Thorothoy
were handicapped by tho size of tho
floor, but it was only by tho most Jes-
porato kind of playing that thoy woro
nosed out of tholr fourth victory.
Tho Amos mon will bo more than
anxiouB to ovon things with tholr
rivals this year and promise Captain
Perry and his mon a merry fight Tho
game tonight will bo interesting also
from tho fact that this will bo tho
first contest between tho two schools
this year. Tho rivalry between tho
schools Is usually strong and this fact
will add zest to tonight's contest.
