While the football victory of Sat urday over tho Peru normal team does not rank among tho season's hardest games, tho overwhelming result served ono doflnito purpose. It brought out tho fact that "King" Colo has moro good material to work on than .Nebraska has had for many a day. Tho coach was highly ploased at tho Bhowing, which, with tho now rules to contend with, was bettor than most followers of tho gamo had an ticipated. With everything In favor of the .(Cornhuskcrs, both in weight and ex porlqnco, it is difficult to predict with any degree of certainty what tho re sult of n really hard gamo would be. Howover, In offensive play tho Univer sity team showed up, particularly well, especially on tho forward passes. A few attempts during tho first two quar ters failed, but on tho wholo the passes wore accurately mado and well Handled. ' Warner and E. Frank 8tar. Warner at quarter and Ernie Frank at right, half put on a remarkable ex"- hibltlon of speed and head work. Warner" was at his best on end runs and several times worming his waj through tho Normalltes for b!g gains made somo o'f the longest runs of tbr gamo.' 'E. Frank was a big ground gainer with a number ot long end runs. Lofgren and Cbnuntcr, on the ends, both played in good form. Aftor the showing South Dakota -made against MlnnoBota tho gnmg noxt Saturday 1b looked forward tc with conBldorablo' Interest. This score would indicate that South Dakota has been doing soma hard work and hat some new men who aro playing a fast gamo. In view of Nebraska's score against Minnesota last year, which It not bo very different from South Da kota's this year, next Saturday ma) bco a lively llttlo tusslo. Minor Will Be In. Minor, who was out of Saturday'f gamo on account of credits, will doubt less bo able to go In Saturday. He haB removed ono "obstacle," and will take an examination In tho second thlB week. Owen Frank was out las night working on -goal kicking, and al though he had a muddy field to con tend with, ho seemed to bo back ir Bomethlng like old tlmo form. Nebraska's back field has como It for more or less criticism, the princi pal fault apparently bolng tho lack of weight. It Is truo that tho back field is as light as Nebraska has had for somo timo, but what Rathbono, Wnrner, HaBcall and tho two Franks lack In weight they certainly mako up In speed. And in tho gamo, according to the new rules, speed is supposed .to como first, weight afterward. Of course more or less weight 1b an abso lute necessity, but after tho showing of speed mado against Peru, criticism of the back field will bo at least a lit tlo less severe Manager Eager has provided a uni versity girls' section In tho center of the reserved section of tho grandstand. It was at Drat to bo at tho ond of tho section, but tho center has been railed oft and tho seats aro now the best on tho grounds. Y. M. C. A. ENTERTAINS. "Paddle Social" Helps University aMen Get Acquainted. Over four hundred university men attended tho Y. M. C. A. "paddlo so cial" at tho armory Saturday even ing. A largo part of tho men were new students, whllo tho upperclass- men" woro present by scores to got ac quainted with tho freshmen. Tho at tendance was cut somewhat by the conflict of rushing parties by various fraternities. The usual Y. M. C. A. stunts, with new variations, lent hilar ity to the occasion. Randall Curtis of Omaha was chairman of tho com mittee In charge. CACTUS SPECIMEN8 ARRIVE. New Addition to the Plant Collection Placed In 'Greenhouse.

Both Men Claim Victory. Both candidates are working hare and both claim tlmt victory cannot gr to tho other fellow. Sturmor hns centered much of his campaign among tho "laws" and the engineers. Hr figures that ho will carry the voto hi tho law college by a big majority, but on the other hand tho friends of Ray mond claim a load among tho laws: They state that Ttfthough Stunner claims to havo almost every senior law lined up, that actually Raymond has doflnito pledges from over fifty per cent of tho laws. The engineer "vote, It Is thought, will bo solid for Sturmcr. While both men have organized n strong band of friends to assist In the campaign, It Is known that neither Is governed In his actions by any sort of clique. Tho campaign, while one of tho most aggressive and oxclting in years,' has been exceptionally clean.
