Manager (Eager yestorday that they
were to be "Johnnyon-the-spot" Satur
day aftornoon at the big game at Law
rence. "If I haven't got tho money Friday
I am going to bum my way," soldi one
student. Two upfer classmen said
yesterday that they had "bummed"
their way before and they could do It
again, for they were going to seo the
Jayhawker game If they had to "ride
the bumpers.'
Pawn Clothes.
One of tho leaders of the junior
class said he was going or "bust." "I
have not received my monthly allow
ance as yet, and if I don't hear from
home before Friday, well I have a
suit or two that I can pawn, for bo
llove me, they can't stop me from
irnlne to Lawrence."
Monster Send-Off. J
When the Cornhusker football team
leaveB Thursday night for the Sun
ilowor state It will bo given tho great
est send-off over accorded a Nebraska
team. The squad will leave Thursday
night and spend Friday In Kansas
City, then journey later to Lawrence,
after resting from their long night's
trip. To show tho team that the stu
dent, body is behind thorn, the great
est "send-off" In the history of the
university lias been planned.
Big Torch Parade.
The nthletlc board has purchased
300 torches which" will be sold to tho
students for 10 cents each. These will
l)e used in the big torch parade which
will be Held preparatory to taking the
team to tho depot. -
These torches are of the campaign
variety and will be sold to students at
cost (10 cents) today and tomorrow in
tho Nebraskan office In the basement
of tho Administration, building, from
10 to 12 in the riming and from 3 to
5 in tho aftern&n. As" the supply of
torches Ib limited to 300,' tho board
suggests that they be purchased at
once as several advance orders have
been made already, and tho big torch
procession- as a send-off to THE
TEAM will be the greatest that has
over beon held. '
The Route.
The students will meet on the cam-
.pus at Eleventh and R streets at 8:30
p. m. Thursday,. Led by tho cadet
band, which wjli bo followed by a big
carry-all carrylngthe 'members of the
team, the big torch procession will
start, he glrlB of the university have
agreed to decorate the great carry-all
which has been, engaged. for the occasion,
The parade will start at 'Eleventh
and It streets, and will march from
that point up R street to Sixteenth
down Sixteenth Btreet to O street and
down. O street to Ninth, and. then to
-
tho depot, where tho players will,
speak and everybody will cheer for the
university, tho team and everything In
general except Kansas,
Every 8tudent Out.
Tho eagerness a large number of
students have shown to purchase tho
torches is evidence that this parade
as a send-off to the team will bo as
large as the annual "Company Q"
imruuu. t
Tho special train to Kansas for the
students will leave Friday, but tho
tdam will leavo a day earlier so as to
be rested after the railroad journey
during the night.
Tho whole student body is anxious
to beat the Jayhawkers and the rapid
ity showa by the students in ..sending
in -their, names as prospective travel
ers to Kansas shows that everybody
will bo-out at 8:30 p. m. Thursday to
give Nebraska's football team the best
sendoff In tho history of the Corn
busker school.
The annual try-out for tho Univer
sity of Nebraska cross-country team
will be held this evening at 4 o'clock.
This is an ovent which is being looked
forward to with great interest by ath
letes of the' school, in view of the fact
that success of Nebraska at .the big
midwest intercollegiate track moot at
MadiBon, Wis., is almost directly de;
pendent upon tho cross-country repre
sentatives. There will be at least fifteen partici
pants In the try-out tonight. This Is
not an exceptionally large number, but
It Is generally thought by the manag
ers that the very best material will be
present, and that fear of overwhelm-
MI8SOURI WANTS A SONG,
One Thousand Dollars Is Offered as

A prize competition for a state song
for Missouri closed yesterday. Gov
ernor Hadley appointed a committee
some time ago to conduct a prize con
test, offering $1,000 for the song which
should be selected. Under the rules
tho winner is to transfer all rights to
the song to tho state of Missouri and
tho people thereof. The result will

future.

fag defeat has BfifecTsecond crass run
ners out of the event.
Course Is Complicated.
Tho course outlined for the runners
is somewhat complicated to follow and
covers a total distance of four and
nine-tenths miles. Tho striking fea
ture of tho race tonight is that the
athletic flold will "be the opening and
closing sceno of ttho event. At the
sound of the pistol the contestants
will circle the athletic field one and a
half times, and then start out on T
street. At the close of the raco the
runners must again circle ,twq and
one-half laps on 'the field'. This start
ing and closing feature of the' try-out
promises to be exciting, and will af
ford an opportunity for tho students
to watch the best part of the race. Ac
cording to "dope" on the final results,
there will be a number of goal seekers
on the last lap at the same time.
Course in Detail.
The course of tho raco in detail is
as follows: After the first lap on the
athletic field, tho runners go eaBt on.
T to Twelfth, north on Twelfth to "U,
east on U to Thirteenth, north to Y,
east to Four teen th,nnd out Fourteenth
for a mile and a half, then west to
Ninth, .south on Ninth to Y, east on Y
to Tenth, over viaduct on Tenth and
south to T. The home stretch Includes
tho flnnl two and onc-hnif lapB on tho
athlotlc Hold.
Predictions being made do not vary
to a great degreo on tho first three
placeB, but after that thoro is a good
deal of uncertainty. Tho supposition
that Mollck, Anderson and Yzlcar will
return to tho varsity has grown to bo
almost a foregono conclusion. These
men wore nil on tho varsity team last
year and, thus far, hnve shown every
Indication that they will return. Tho
roturn of these men to tho university
hnB undoubtedly strengthened tho
chances of 'Nebraska at Madison, for
experience is a good fuctor in. deter
mining tlfo winners. Other contest
ants who appear to bo highly prospec
tive honor takers aro SwanBon, Hayes,
Bates and Wohlenbcrg. These men
havo all manifested varsity qualities
and any two of them will fill the ex
pected vacancies in groat shape.
Track Meet at Madison.
Tho big middle west track moot will
bo held nt Madison on Novembor ,19.
This is the meet which has formerly
boon hold at 'Chicago, Tho schools
that will participate In tho croBB-coun-try.
event aro Nebraska, Chicago, Min
nesota, Illinois, Purdue, Amos and
Iowa. Drake will not contest this
year. It Ib interesting to noto that tho
track meet will be pulled off on tho
same date as the Chicngo-wrsconsln

'Sinnn-tnn-nrnnnon-nfnmntorconoirt-
ate cross-country race six years ago
Nebraska has won first honors four
times nnd second honors twice'' Con
sequently the team will not depart
for Madison with .an unprecedented
task looming up before thorn. Dr.
Clapp is making good predictions for
his men, and says he will be able to
form a more accurate statement of tho
intercollegiate result by tho end of
tho try-out tonight.

Kansas Is looking forward to the
visit of tho GornhuBkors next Satur
day with no over-confidence. That
much Is cortaln from the fact that the
University Knnsan, tho student paper,
of Kansas university, appeared last
Saturday morning with a black line
across the front page, ''Wo Must Heat
NobrnBkn Noxt Saturday."
Tho Jayhawkers, Hko the Corahusk
ers, aro looking for one of the hardest
games of the season, if not tho very
hardest. Thoy,too, have been putting
In bo mo hard work getting ready for

when tho game is called two of the
best fighting machines In tho Missouri
Valley, will contest for the supremacy'
-wbieli-n)ay-iueftn-thc-iiissoiri--yalliy
championship.
No Need for Worry.
As far as tho Cornhuskers being in
poor condition is concerned, thcro is
no need for worry. Soldom has Ne
braska seen a better football eleven,
and if KansaB winB noxt Saturday It
will bo because' of their superiority
rather than of any weakness on the
part of the locals.
Taking reports from Lawrence at
more or less of a discountabout the
way they take reports received from
Lincoln Kansas also appears to bein
the game with one of the strongest
teams they have had for years. True,
they were, held to a 6 to 0 score by ,
Drake university, but Doane managed
to secure tho same kind of a grip or
the Cornhuskors, so neither game can
be taken: "ns a basis' for prediction on
what the Nebraska and Kansas teams
really amount to.
Tea mi Evenly Ma'tched.
As the two teams stand now thero
Is but little difference between them,
either in sneod or weight. While Kan
sas may Jiavo the advantage of a few
pounds in the weight of tho line,, it la
not great enough to make a. difference ,
on the field. As to the back fields,
Kamsas la fast and so is Nebraska,
with the Cornhuskers a little to the
good.
Taking it on the whole.-glving the
Nebrnskans just a shade tho advan
tage on speedy backfleld plays, there
Is no .reason why the Cornhuskers
should not bring back the bacon, by
one touchdown at least.
Will Be a Warm Scrap.
That the Kansans .will have the
warmest scrap of the season on their
hartds is a certainty. The Jayhawkers
have a h'unch that such will be the
case, as evidenced by the ''We Must
Beat Nebraska" agitation, while the
Cornhuskers are going to Lawrence
with a determination1 to win or win.

lotto sjde of our university life shall
