FINALS TO BE PLAYED TODAY
LAST ROUND OF TENNIS' TOUR
NEY WILL BE FA8T.
FOUR MEN STILL IN THE RACE
ANY ONE OF-WHOM 18 LIABLE TO
BE THE WINNER.
Qoodbody, Weaverling, Parker ana
Flory Are Expected to Attract
Interest in the Closing- v
"" Matches
Play in tho annual tennis tourna
mont of tho University .of Nebraska
has boon continued and matches are
being pulled off in rapid succession
in an effort to complete the finals
during the presont good weathor sea
.son. i
With Goodbody, Weavorllng, Park
er and Plory still In tho ga'mo, aood
amount of "final dope" Is being dealt
out among court visitors and enthusi
asts. Two of tho court favorites,
Pierce' and Osterhaut, who wero mem
bers of last year's varsity team and
who promised to win some of the
tournament laurels, mei their Water
loo at an early stage of tho play.
Pierce was attacked by Goodbody, Avlm
is now in the semifinals, and Oster
haut received his "soothing" stroke
from Parker, who Is still a likely can
didate for tho finnlB.
Fast Match Today.
Tho match between Goodbody and
-Parker thlB afternoon at 3 o'clock, Is
"doped" to bo one of tho most exciting
and spectacular of tho entire ovent.
. Both of these mon havo been "prob
able winners" throughout tho tourna-
, nrtmt, nnd with the semi-final match
slated for them, thero Is every indi
cation of "something doing."
Goodbody, without doubt, Is playing
ono of tho most brilliant games of all
tho court contestants. HIb strokes,
although sometimes having tho appear
ance of being non-conservative, are
usually well placed and leave tho
balls in a, position difficult to return.
Ho has a pretty Lawford stroke and
a powerful underhand drive, both of
which are hard to receive.
Weaverling has not played much
' during tho present tourney, but -in
his match with Hubbell, which he
won C-3, 6-1, he displayed some of
the strokos which havo usually'car
rlod'hinrto tho finalsln the universi
ty tournament. His back hand Law
ford, wbon well placed, is ono of tho
worst returns that his opponents will
havo to' meet." v ,
Tho ''dope on Parker, and Plory is
o' little scattered, although Parker
- scorns to have the best of the odds.
Plory is a young player of tfie
' game, although ho plays a yery con
servative game. His weakest point is
his service, which may break down
if, he is pushed' hard,as ho probably
will be in his round with Parker. The
Matter has some' hard strokes -which
make him -a court favorite, and which,
'in all probability, will make him a
, member of tho varsity squad' and
team. f
,fiome of the contestants who we're
'defeated earlior in tho game; put up'
as game a,,flght as did the men who
saw the lnsldoof the semi-final' round.
The match between Pierce and Good
body; and Parker and Oatorhkut wore
" of this type One of the most' bitterly
contested and long drawn -out. of aBy
- of the matches, was between Plory
and Andrews in the round before the
?seml-flnals. Here each contestant
it. .
u.-
wob a set 4-6 and 6-2 respectively,
mi1I& thn thfril urn AaoMrv mof want
being the winner, -Tho three sots
played between Kokjor and Parkor
wero equally ns well fought, ono of
tho sots ending at T-Swhilo tho
others wont fc-0 and C-2 respectively,
Parker proving a little more sure in
his strokes and' won tho match,
Other Results.
Tho results of the other prelimin
ary mntcheB are as- follows'. Dears
won the first round by default, Beach
ley defeated Wake, second .round, by
default; Hubble defeated Hargravo,
second round 10-8, 6-2; Weavorllng
beat Hiltnor G-3, 6-1, socond round;
Mortcnsen won .first round by a bye;
A'ndrew boat MortenBon, second round
6-4, 64; Kokjer won "from Thompson',
second round 6-1, 6-2. ,
It is the general opinion among tho
university club memnors that tho as
sociation since the spring tournament
of IDODslO,, haB taken in many good
players, especially from tho freshman
class. For this reason, the prospects
for Nebraska In this year's intercol
legiate events are very- encouraging.
There is also a strong rumor about
tho courts that Smith, ono of last
year's varsity members, will return to
the university next semester, which,
also, is good, news to tho club man
ager. BIG CAMPAIGN ON.
Y. M. C. A. Plans to Accumulate
$2,000 for Work.?
The big financial campaign, now be
ing conducted by the university Y. M.
C. A., is, running full speed, nnd shows
every indication that tho minimum
limit of $2,000 sot by. tho Y. M. C. A.
officials will.be reached.
In conjunction with the campaign, a
big "feed" is given in tho Y. M. C. A.
rooms every ovenlng, which, corre
spond in purpos5 to thesuppors given
by tho association during the recent
membership campaign.
One of tho prime purposes of tho
present campaign is to provide suf
ficient" funds to support a religious
work director, whoso duty will bo to
Intensify tho Y. M. C. A. work nnd
,obtain tho co-operation of tho univer
sity students In religious work aboutJ
the school.
The idea of having a religious work
director was first suggested by "Dad"
Elliott, who recently visited Nebrnska.
The plan has been adopted by many of
tho larger schools, and, having proved
so beneficial in other places, is to be
given a teBt at this university, provld
ing tho present money campaign is
successful. " "
In connection" with this movement,
the international Y.-M.' C. A. commit
tee has publicly announced that, to
stimulate the. work, It wljl furnish
three-fourths of the director's salary
for the first year, one-half the second
year, and one-fourth the third year,
on the condition ttiat ho Is well sup
ported thereafter.
The outcome of the, financial cam
paign is salll little uncertain. Two
hundred and twenty dollars were
pledged by sixty meri at the supper
Monday evening,, which made a good
start. Good reports, are being 'made
from evety quarter, but as yet, noth
ing deflnito has been published, nor
wHl there bo untH the close of the so
licitations. The campaign closes to
night. ' -
-Ono of the features of this cam
PigB, which distinguishes, it from
those previously conducted by the as
sociation, is that the .professors and
faculty members will all have an' op
portunity .to contribute, No restric
tions are being made on the source of
tho money supply.
Statistics record that In 1S08 there
were 464 universities, colleges .and
technical schools in the United' States.
BOYCOTT IN MUSIC MARKET
80PH0M0RE HOP COMMITTEE RE
CEIVE8 CALL FROM UNION. .
ED WALT THE BONE OF CONTENTION

FORCIBLY EJECTED.
Asks Hop Committee to Employ Only
Union Labor But Walt Gets
the Job.
Representatives of tho Lincoln
musicians' union dropped in upon a
harmonious meeting of tho sophomoro
hop committee yesterday and, with
a solution of salt and water dropping
from their organs of sight, pleaded
with tho committee to turn down the
bid of Edward J. Walt, "tho music
man," for music at the coming sopho
moro dance.
Secretary Thornborg" of tho musical
organization Introduced President Pin
ney of the union. In a short address
to the committee ho said tho union
was n brotherhood of "professional
musicians who wished to create a
spirit of brotherly love among the
members thereof. Ho also said tho
officers never said anything oithor
"for" or "against" one of tholr
"brothers," but that when one w'ho
had atvone time been In tho fold and
been oxpelled was getting business by;
pnttipg up a hard luck story, thoy
thought It only right that tho commit
teemen (Should hear their side of the
story also.
He said,' "This is a deliaato subject
to handle."
Walt Is Much Abused.
Pinnoy elaborated the entire story
of how Ed Walt wbb kicked out of
the union because he would not come
through wlthu a $40 fine which "was
imposed upon him "after due consider
ation by the controllings board of tho
union." Tho entiro cause of this fine
wnB that a particular newspaper meet
Ing held in 'Lincoln was favored .by a
trombone solo playe'd by a brother of
Walt. The unon officials wore put
out by tho fact that Walt failed to
use a certain other trombone player
on that evening, cancollin gtho en
gagement which he had formerly had
with said trombone player. Pinnoy
wont on to' explain how Walt had
been "tried and justly- sentenced" and
with .tears. Jn his voioe . said, that
Ihe union hated to throw out Mr.
Walt.
Walt tells anottier story. Ho says
that he did. not feel that he was fairly
treated by the union officials,. Over
halt' of his orchestra left tho union
'with him and others walked out later.
Gets the Job Anyway.
Tho committeo decided' to accept
the bid of Mr., Walt although it was

highor than that of tho other organ
izations. Walt did not apply for tho
engagement. A member of tho com
mittee viBlted him yestorday to got
hi bid. ' ,
Chairman Androws for an opportuni
ty to oxplnin tholr side of tho caso
and their reasons why Walt should
not bo given tholr support. This re
quest was' courteously granted by tho
chairman. Tho commltteo considered
tho caso carefully boforo doclding to
ask tho Wajt orchestra to furnish tho
music, but whon a voto was taken,
Walt was tho unanimous choico of tho
committee.
Just why busy members of a trados
union should take their valuablo time
from their -business to como up to
tho stato university to toll collogo stu
dent committeemen why a non-union
orchestra is an organization to bo boy
cotted, the members of tho commit'
tco could not understand.
The commlttco "decided that univer
sity students should not bo askod to
holp any of tho local unions in thoir
petty quarrolB.

BLANKETS FOR -THE VARSITY
FOOTBALL COMMITTEE PROVIDES
FOR THE PLAYERS. " '-
TEAM GETTING. READY FOR KANSAS
DOPESTER8 ACCUSE JAYHAWK
ERS OP "POSSUM" GAME.
Coach Cole Plans Making Practloe
Secret In the Future Will
, Use Farm Grounds.
Each member of the varsity football
team will recolvea scarlet blanket for
t
uso on tho sidelines. This action was
doflnltol)r decided by tho football com
mlttco of ihe attilotle board at a moot
ing yesterday morning. Tho blankets
will bo secured immediately
' Tho quostion of furnishing tho Corn
huskors with blankots has bopn under
consideration for somo timo. Noarly
all tho other leading colleges furnish
their teams In this way and Nebraska
haB takon a seat in tho band wagon.
Getting Ready for Kansas.
Botweon now and November 3,
"King" Colo will put Ifi 'his tlmo got;
ting ready for tho Kansas gamo. The
now shift plays, which wero worked
so successfully 1a tho Donvor game,
will .bo practiced over and oVor untll
tho team can go through thorn without
a moment's hesitation.
Tho coach Is framing up a number
of other new formation for open play,
and by the tlmo. tho Kansas game ar-.
rives tho team will bo well prepared
for tho Jayhawkors.
Assistant Coach Ewjng was a spec
tator at the Kansas-Drake gamo, when
Drako hold Kansas to onjy ono touch'
down, and dopes Kansas o liavea
team which is decidedly Inferior to,the
team of last year. Johnson Is in ihe
gamo again, but in tho Drake game he
did not play tho spectacular game
which ho has ordinarily put up.
Playing ''Possum"?
As usual, Kansas as accused of play,
ing "possum." Stories afloat now have
it, that tho Jayhawkors were taking
things easy in order to keep their real
condition In tho dark. Perhaps they
were. '
tThe outlook for a big delegation of
Nebraska rooters to tho Kansas game
Is good. If necessary a special "Cora
husker" train will bo secured for the
trip. At any rate there will be ample
accommodations for all who are able
to go.
To Take Precautions.
Coach Cole Is planning making prac
tice absolutely secret. The university
farm grounds will be used as much', as
possible and the gates will be' closed
to all who have no business oa the
grounds. These precautions are to be
takon juBt on general principles pot
particularly because the boys are
afraid of prowling scouts. They do
say, however, that in a game now Pst
and gone" tho Jayhawkors seemed to .
know all tho signals.
" Cornhuskers Improving.
As thejeason progresses the Cora-
huskers are rapidly getting into good"
tfhape for the last big games of the
season, "ualess some uaforeeeeM aocl
deaUhappeas to aeceMltate eaaagec,
the varsity liae-ap bow laeewNL
likely Salsa the season, ' v"
The greatest room for inarovMMtt
now is la offensive jay. As far as de-
fease goes no pae ooald juk' that th
Nebraska team make a better showiag
than it has. But oa offeaslve plef, the
team Is mot all It might be, aad It Is
this the coach will do ale. fceai 'i
remedy.
