BACKFIELD FAIRLY STRONG-FIELD IS WEAK
With Jim Harvey, Tate Matters, and
Fred Hunter on the field assisting
Coaches Stlehm, Frank and Rathbono
to put tire finishing touches on the
varsity, yesterday afternoon's skirin
isli, the last practice before the Min
n'esota game Saturday, was only half
satisfjing to f'ornhusker supporters
Not near so good a showing was made
against the reserves as should have
been the case, and the machine Beemed
to lack fire and pep With four of his
sturdiest backers practically out of
commission. Captain Frank is not en
tertaining the highest hopeB of defeat
ing the Gophers, although the stand

win " Mastin is suffering from a badly
sprained and bruised Bhoulder, but will
play for a part of the game at least

CO-EDS TO BECOME MERMAIDS
After Long Walt Local Y. M. C. A.
Permits Girls to Enjoy Privileges
of Pool Thursday Afternoons.
At laBt, after two weeks' hard and
steady pleading, the glrlB have gained
permission to use the Y M C A Bwim
nung pool on Thursday afternoons
Booths for dressing rooms will be
built and the Y W C A. has prom
ised to pay $10 a week toward the pay
ment of what extra help will be neces
sar It was found needless to change
the water both before and aftei the.
co eds use the pool, as the decision was
made to change the water immediately
after their weekly plunge Swimming
classes will be under the supervision
of Miss GlttlngB of the physical educa
tion department, whose idea the whole
proceedings was.
The action of the Y. M C. A. In al
lowing this privilege to the University
girls places It in the foremoBt rank of
associations of this country, as only
three or four qthers have progressed
so far in granting privileges On the
western coast the universities them
sehes have pools and classes In the
acquatlc art for the fair ones, but Ne
braska at present is the only school
this far east to take this move.
Frandden Back from Omaha.
Prolessor Frandsen of the dair de
partment returned from Omaha the
fiist of the week He attended a meet
ing of dairymen of Douglas county, at
which a new contesting association foi
Douglas count) was formed Mr Coin
stock, a giaduate of the School of Agri
culture, is in charge of the work
the doctor's erdlct Wednesday Al
though thlB may not entlroly prevent
his getting into the game Saturday, it
will seriously hamper his usually star
performances
The CornhuBkers may get Into better
shape before the contest Btarts, how
ever. LaBt year the week before Michi
gan game showed Nebraska a decrepit
team of weaklings, in fact, the re
serves scored on the varsity the night
before the big game, but when it was
up to them to do their best the famous
G to 6 score was the result When the
Gophers are actually in the field bo
fore them there Is no telling what the
huskies wearing the scarlet and cream
may not accomplish A little mental
telepathy exercised in longdistance
rooting for the team may mean victory
for Nebraska, so every loyal Corn
husker should do his part in cheering
Saturday, although the team Is 400
mileB away.

DR. BESSEY UTILIZES LEAVES
Statement that Signs of Autumn Are
Burnt Are False, as They Make
the Grass Green In the Spring.
In a recent editorial of the Daily
Nebraskau mention was made of the
fact that the dead leaves which are
being raked up off the campus were
burned. Insomuch as the writer was
misinformed, a correction Is needed.
The annual crop of leavoB is not
burned, but Instead they are piled up
and water poured over them. They
are allowed to rot during the winter,
and in the early spring rescattered
over the campus
This is a method which was started
by Dr Bessey when he flrBt became a
member of the University's faculty
Not only are the rotten leaves the
cleanest of fertlllaem but also one of
the richest
