Tho team In tho flnoat of condi
tion, trainod to tho last mlnuto, and
confident that thlB year thoy are go
ing to tako tho full moastiro of tho
Minnesota Gophers, loaves tonight for
Minneapolis.
Nebraska is sending to tho war
camp of tho Gophers, a hotter team
In many ways than has over boforo
met Minnesota, bettor than tho team
which defeated Minnesota under John
ny Wostovor in 1902.
Backfield a Wonder.
Tho backfield has boon tho wondor
and tho downfall of tho Cornhuskors'
opponents in both of tho games played
this year. Tho speed of tho individual
players, combined with tho almost
perfect Interference given to tho man
carrying tho ball has beon tho source
of long gains by Nebraska on almost
every end play started this year.
On tho lino thero are several of tho
stars of past seasons, tho men who
won tho Missouri Valloy champion
ship for Nebraska last year. Led by
Captain Shonka, thoy mako a formid
able wall of opposition in tho faces of
tho opposing backs, and on offensive
play thoy have boon trained inces
santly in tho best methods of opening
a hole for one of Nebraska's backs to
plow through for a good sized gain.
8tlehm Drilled Long Hours.
Coach Stiohm has drilled his men
unremittingly for tho Minnesota game,
all the efforts of the team up to date
having been bent towards proBontlng
a formidable front beforo tho Gophors.
Not a man but who Is in ,perfoct con
dition, and with every man out on the
field every night, practice has beon
complete In every detail.
"If Minnesota beats us this year,"
said Coach Stiohm, "thoy are going to
play tho best game in many, many
years. Wo hopo to win, In fact tho
boys aro going up thero with tho c6n
victlon that thoy aro going to tako
that game."
There Isn't one of tho rooters, of
tho real football "fans" of Nebraska,
who hasn't that firm convlctjon In his
mind, that the Cornhuskors aro going
to beat the Gophors Saturday.
Dope Says We Win.
Dope in Lincoln as to tho score of
(Continued on Pago 3)
Arrangements aro comploto for the
first football rally of tho yoar In Me
morial hall at 11:30 this morning, to
cheor tho team on its way to do battlo
with tho strong Gopher aggregation at
Minneapolis.
Tho committee in charge of tho
program has spared no offorts to ob
tain tho best talont avUlablo for tho
sort of talks and time dcBired at those
meetings.
Tho familiar faces of Dr. Maxoy, Dr.
Condra, and other stirring speakers
will bo soon on tho platform, and If
modoty does not provont, tho physiog
nomies of all tho squad who will wear
Jerseys at Minneapolis, will leer at
tho audience from behind Sylvlo
Shonka's broad shoulders.
Stlehm May Talk.
Coach Stiohm. Ewald O. for short,
will bo there. Some may doubt this,
but ho will.
Furthermore, Ewald 0. will mako a
speech, In which ho will toll some
thing of what he expects to do to the
Earthdogs in tho near future
Yellmastor Hawloy, also threatens
to bo present, and it is rumored that
a few gentlemanly and ladylike huzzas
may bo given, If enthusiasm cannot
be restrained. (Yes It is, you loffor.)
Chancellor Enthusiastic.
Hut no ono neod fear. In an In
terview (not) given out Just boforo
ho left for Minneapolis, Chancellor
Samuel Avery of tho boat and biggest
school In the Missouri valloy, hinted
to tho editor of Oi1b hand-bill, that ho
would not caro If a few raftorB wero
cracked on the occasion of this out
burst. "Wo MuBt Beat Minneapolis,"
said tho Chancellor (not). Do that as
It may, tho Chancellor has already
gone to Minneapolis, ostensibly to at
tend some national convontion, but
those having ltiBldo information al
lege that it was to got a good Beat re
served ready for tho gamo.
Clinches Matters.
This of course, clinches matters.
After the Chancellor has gone to such
lengths, Winged Victory would not
have tho heart to alight on other than
Cornhusker shoulders. Come out to
tho rally, therefore, and send a yell
that will sot off all the alarm clockB
In Parnassus, that Victory may bo
awakened to tho fact that tho Corn
huskors are off for Minneapolis, and
about to take tho FIRST STEP TOW
ARD THE WESTERN CHAMPIONSHIP.
BAND.MAKESJCIDED HIT .

The band was in a class by itself.
It was tho only ono of tho seven
bands which oven attempted to keep
stop. Its music was martial. Ono

even when they wero two blocks away.
Thoy played march pieces and spe
cialties such as "U-U-Unl.," "Cheor,
Cheer, .Cheer for tho Good Old Ger
man Beer," and "We're Going to tho
Hamburg Shpw."
Whon tho band passed tho corner
of Twelfth and O streets, playing
"IT-U-Unl" tho crowds choored them
lustily. Tho cheering did not come
alono from college students, but tho
masses Joined in the spirited ap
plause. One other band, called a
"concert band," distinguished ltfeolf
by attempting to play a grand opera
overture while on tho march.
FOURTH FRATERNITY BURGLARY
PHI DELTS LOSE DRESS SUIT AND
SOME OTHER VALUABLES
POLICE AROU8ED.
Tho fourth burglary of a fraternity
or sorority houso was committed late
Wednesday afternoon, when about
$500 In monoy, watches and Jowelry
was taken from tho Phi Delta Thota
houso, Twenty-sixth and Q streets.
Tho first of tho season's vIbUb is said
to have been to tho Acacia house. An
oarly morning burglar at tho Farm
Houso club's home continued the se

sorority house was another place hon
ored with a visit by tho stealthy
prowler, who called there late Mon
day afternoon.
Crawled In at Window.
Tho thief at tho Phi Delt houso en
tered through a rear window whon
most of tho fraternity men wore away,
and made a thorough inspection of the
rooms, hunting for valuables. Aside
from the money, watches and Jewelry,
ono full dress suit was taken.
Tho Lincoln police are aroused over
the series of burglaries in Greokdom
and patrolmen are especially alert In
fraternity houso neighborhoods. So
far no arrests have been made in tho
casoB. It is not thought that any fur
ther trouble will be caused as all
frats are now on tho watch for callers.
WE MUST BEAT
