The scope of the work laid out for the association is larger this year than It has ever been before, and every effort is being made to pave the way for its success from a financial standpoint.

Solicitors Well Organized. The workers In thlB extensivo cam paign are more highly organized than they have ever been before. Monday evening forty-four association men met in the red room of the City Y. M. C. A. for a feed, a Burvey of the work, and a discussion of the plan to be followed. Short speeches were made by Arnold, Reitzel, Sinkie, Brown and NippB. The men present closed the mooting by subscribing $400 as a neucleus for the amount which must be raised.

Promoters Behind the Cause. TheHe fifty solicitors huve Btarted the fund by a subscription averaging $10 each as a proof that the promoters are behind the cause.

OCCASION TO BE NON-PARTISAN Governor Wilson Will Speak to Stu dents Following the Auditorium Meeting Local Club Will Be Escort. Woodrow WilBon, formerly president of Princeton University, and a candi date for president of the United States, will speak to the students of the Uni versity Saturday while stopping in Lincoln. It is expected that the WilBon greet ing will be one of the most notable non-partisan affairs in tho hiBtory of the institution. Governor Wilson will address the students in the Temple at 9 o'clock Saturday night. He will come direct from the Auditorium to the Temple Btage. Chancellor Avery, who Ib a personal friend of Governor Wilson, will prob ably be one the platform, but will take no part in the ceremonies. It Is the desire of the committee in charge to attach aB little political significance to the occasion as poBsible. The Uni versity's greeting to Governor WilBon will be but a cordial expression of re spect and regard for hla scholarly at tainments.

NOT SATISFIED WITH RESULTS Mastln, Gibson and Allen on Hospital List Cornhusker Stock Rising Nevertheless. Whether or not the squad will round out Into a well-balanced, aggressive team is the question that Is bothering the fans. Even though to the casual spectator the team seems to be get .ting their fighting clothes on, "Jumbo" Is yet dissatisfied. Only once last night, when the varsity plowed through the whole "scrub" squad, again and again, did he admit that the team might bo able to play genuine football. The coach spent most of his time hiBt night in trying to strengthen the regulars' line. The result of his work was shown when tho varsity lined up for scrimmage In the last fifteen min utes of practice. Three times they went through the "scrubs" for touch downs. Potter was at the helm, the line opened big holes, and the backs hit the opposition bo hard that the "pop" could be heard on the sldj) lines Then Stlehm placed the ball on the ten-yard line and defied the entire strength of the "Bcrubs" to hold the varsity. And once again the ball was carried over the goal lines for a touch down. (Continued on Page Three) JUNIOR MEN OUT TRUMBLE AND DICKENSON OPEN THE POLITICAL GAME. FRESHMAN GETS IN SWIM Dennis Aspires for Freshman Plum Sophomores Quiet Mulligan Btl II Only 8enior Candidate to Announce Himself. The second shot In the political fight which comes to a climax noxt Tuesday was fired yesterday, when two men announced themHelveB as candidates for the presidency of tho Junior clasB Fred Trumble comes from Mlnden, Ib an Agricultural Col lege man, has served on several hop and other committees In his sopho more year, and Ib a member of Sigma Nu fraternity. Clark Dlckonaen Ib a Lincoln High man, was president of his sonlor class, has been a member of the University debating squad for the last two years, and wan a member of the sophomore class debating team last year Both men are well known around school and have been active In class affairs during the last two years. In tho freshman class the first can didate appeared, yesterday, when Paul Dennis, Temple High, announced hlm Bolf. He is a well-known man among the Lincoln students, and has featured prominently In high Bchool dramatics. No sophomores have appeared to take part In the fray as yet Several have been urged by their friends to start the ball rolling, but none seem to have acted on tho suggestion. To day will probably see the fight begin In the class of 1915. In the senior clasB no further candi dates have come out, and Mulligan is the only aspirant for the place. Fil ings do not close until Thursday, how ever, so there Is still sufficient time for new men to enter the race.
