CORNHUSKER BACKFIELD LIGHT Aggies' Average on Line Less, But More Experienced, While Nebras ka Lacks Weight In Support of Green Line. On account of wet grounds and a continuous rain in the afternoon, yes terday's practice was held In the gym nasium All of the regulars were out for work but Purdy, Mastln and Pear son, the latter still suffering from a bad ankle. The big, husky tackle will not be able to get into Saturday's en gagement. This will weaken the al ready too weak line. The Aggies in their game last Saturday played a line plunging game and made good with it. This will hit the Cornhuskers' weak spot, and we will have to light all of the time to get away with the large end of the score. The Aggie aggregation is heavy, the line averaging 175 pounds, and the backfield weighs about 1G7 pounds per ' man The Cornhusker line averages 180, with the backfield about 160. This gives Nebraska a heavier line than the Kansas team, but our line is green and theirs experienced. Coach Stlehm said yesterday: "We have a com paratively new team, as compared with that of last year. They have an old team with a year of experience, and we will have a hard game Saturday." The freshman team did not practice yesterday as the weather was too bad for outdoor work, and the gym was given over to the varsity's signal run ning Hard work and continual rough lug has been the part of the poor, abused reserves this week, for they have had a good deal of straight scrim mage with the varsity bunch The strength which several of the first year men have been showing of late promises well for next year's varsity, even with all this year's veterans leav ing. While no especially fast showing has been made as yet by any individual among the youngsters, they are keep ing at It with terrible stlck-to-itive qualities, and some of these days they may show the older squad some point ers on playing the game, xaB did the famous reserve team of 1911, the mem bers of which are the strongest regu lars this year. A regular game between the fresh man and varsity squads Is to be insti tuted every Thursday on the athletic field. The band will be out and the cheer leaders will be there with their howling hundreds to cheer the varsity on to victory. The coach thinks the players will do better in practice and get more life into their work through this innovation By having a day set aside for the weekly freshman game the studentB will have a chance to practice their yells and songs and get the co-eds more Interested In football.

Rube Marquard won tho game for the Giants yesterday against tho Red Sox at Boston by a score of 2 to 1 Each team made seven hits, and New York made one error. Buck O'Brien worked for Boston, but wb somewhat unsteady and was replaced in the ninth by Bedient. Murray started the scor ing for the Nationals by getting a two base hit off O'Brien in the second in ning. Marquard held the Americans scoreless for eight innings, but eased up a little in the ninth and allowed them to run in one score. The crowd yesterday was as large as that of two days previous, either due to tho rain tho night before or because two days in succession was too much for them Tho game today will be held at New York, and Tesreau and Wood will probably oppose each other again STEWART MADE NEW ASSOCIATE Successful Reporter Goes Notch High er Is Well Known In College.

One of the chief features of the Ger man Day parades was the University of Nebraska Cadet Band The boys were at their best and, despite the fact that they were only one-tenth of the muslclal force of tho parade, were given the "glad hand" by the large crowds This Is perhaps due to the earnest efforts of Director Cornell and Captain Wilson. Major Cornell Is now serving his sec ond year with this musical organiza tion and deserves a great amount of credit for turning out ono of the best bands In the history of this Bchool Captain Wilson is also accountable for the appearance made by the band The striking feature of the boyB' appearance was the way In which they marched Every line was perfect, every foot came down at the Bame time, and every one acted strictly mili tary throughout This Is a vnst im provement over the way the band ap peared at the football game laBt Satur day, and whether or not the band shows up as well from this on In at tendance and uniformity will be the determination as to whether they will accompany tho football team to Min nesota, the game following tho Kansas AggleB it Ib alBO rumored that the band will go to the Missouri game.

As a result of tho agitation started by the students Wednesday night against the carnival on Twelfth street, it has seemed best to tho city authori ties to do away with it, according to the laBt reports at the time of writings It Is billed to leave the city this morn ing, and with its departuro quiet will fall on the campus. This action came only after a lone consultation between the city authori ties and the forces opposing the car nival Chief among the latter were the Innocents, Dr Condra and the gen eral attitude of the student body. Moved by their demands, Mr. J. EL Miller and Secretary Whltten or the Commercial Club affected an agree ment with the Eagle lodge whereby the carnival 1b to vacate The movement of the University stu dents, starting In the disorder Wednes day night, was a general protest against the indecency and cheapness which was characterized by the car nival A grouj) of students mot pre vious to the uprising, and as n self appointed committee voiced the senti ments of the student body In saying: that It ought not be permitted to run in such close proximity to the campus. This movement erystallzed Into an Investigation of the lawful right or the carnival to block a city Btreet and oper ate so close to the campus, conducted! by the Innocents. The committee ap pointed by them for the investigation consiBted of Carrier, Meade and Sinkle. These men represented the voice of the students, as entrusted to them by Chancellor Avery, who gave then power to act In the Investigation it wan brought out that the riot of Wednesday night had been precipitated by one of the "spielers" of the carnival He hadf taunted the University boys In the crowd, reminding them of a bruising: which he claimed the show had admin istered to them five years ago, and their fighting blood had been brought to a boll. Furthermore, It was charged that be cause or tho nolso accompanying It study was impossible In the women's building JuBt across the street. During the investigation It was found that no license had been paid the city and the committee asked why it was lawful for the street leading to the campus to be blocked. This was uBed further as a baBls for the objec tion to its proximity to the carapm. However, no reflection was cast upon the Eagles' lodge, which brought the carnival to the city.
