Price 5 Cent SHIFT MADE IN LINE MA8TIN GOE3 TO LEFT GUARD; MULLIGAN TAKES END. ATTACK TO MUCH FOR RESERVE Freshmen Make Slight Gains Through Line, But Backs Return Ball With out Delay Frank Makes Long Run. The team departs tonight for the land of the Tigers in better physical condition than they have been at any time during the season. Potter and Harmon will be in the lineup against the Tigers, although the latter has not been in scrimmage for nearly two weeks. Coach Stiehm has made quite a change Jn the line, shifting Mastin from end to left guard. Mulligan has taken MaBtin's place at end and 1b do ing good work. This shift hap light ened the team considerable, but hna made it much speedier. Practice last night was secret as usual, and consisted of a good, hard scrimmage with the freBhmen. The freshmen backs, with the imsl stance of "Turp" Frank, made several good gains through the varsity line, but the first-year men were uanble to with stand the attacks of the Comhusker backs. Captain Frank made a beauti ful run of 90 yards for a touchdown, and the other backfleld men found little resistance in the freshman line. The team will leave tonight over Jhe Burlington for Columbia, accompanied by a few rooters. They are due to ar rive In the Tigers' camp somo time to morrow in order to have a light prac tice before going Into the game. Both teams are nearly of the same weight and free from injuries, so a good game may be expected of them Saturday. NEW BALLROOM INSIGHT Commercial Club Will Open Splendid New Dance Hall for University Affairs. s December 1 1b the date reserved by the Lincoln Commercial Club for the occupation of Its new quarters, now nearly completed after more than a year's work. Incidentally, one of the finest ballrooms in the city will prob ably be thrown open to the use of University students. Complying with the original plans, thlB hall will be used as a dining-room by the club. It can be easily cleared, however, thus giving a hall 10Qx56 feet with small balconies at either end, fur nishing an ideal place for an orchestra. The hall 18 beautifully finished In white marble and waxed oak. Light will be secured by the new system of reflected illumination 'used extensively In all the newept buildings. An oak floor equal to any in the city is now being laid throughout the entire third floor. Secretary Whltten says that it is nt at all improbable that the hall can be secured for University af fairs at a very reasonable price. Annual Torchlight Procession Tonight to Send the Team off to Missouri Once again the "howling hundreds" will moot to give the team the proper sond-ofT. Tonight at 8:!30 o'clock the campus will bo the starting point of the biggest torchlight parade ever held at Nebraska. At the head will bo the team and coaches in a carryall drawn by fifty willing Cornhuskers. Behind will be a long, snaky, sinuous line of torches, each in the hands of a rooter, who would put a whirling dervish to shame. And on the side lines will be banks of co-eds to lend encouragement. From the campus the parade will proceed to the Burlington depot, where the farewell will end only when there are no more speeches to be made and everyone is so hoarse that not even a whisper can be heard. The fact that it is Hallowe'en, it is hoped, will not cause any dampening of enthusiasm or prevent any of the usual stunts from being pulled off. Those who have not torches from last year may procure them from the Rag office after 11 o'clock today. And, say, don't for get that booster button. The band still lacks enough to pay their expenses to Missouri, although they are working hard. This is the first time that the students alohe have attempted to send the band with the team, so do your part. The band is necessary to beat the Tigers. Now, don't forget the time or place 8:30 o'clock, and at the campus and we will give the team such a send-off that they will have to beat the Tigers. Mick. OMAHA ALUMNI OPPOSE CLAPP Gate City Organization Passes Resolu tions In Derogation of Athletic Sys tem at the University. Relief from "molly-coddle rules" of the Missouri Valley Conference, hin dering the development of vigorous athletics at the University was de manded by the Omaha alumni associa tion at a meeting held in Omaha Tues day evening. Resolutions to this effect were ad dressed to the regents and to such other authority as might have power to act. The alumni went on record as favor ing the withdrawal of Dr. R. G. Clapp from participation in the athletic man agement. This action was expected by those in touch with the situation, on account of the known personal hostil ity that has existed between Dr. Clapp and those who are now trying to dis credit him. Of pent Interest to University stu dents, Uie Omaha alumni went so far nB to suggest that Nebraska with draw from the valley conference, if such action was necessary to obtain the desired relief from restrictive measures. Dr. Clapp, In the course of an inter view last evening, declared that the criticisms levied against the confer ence were misdirected, that in reality the rules complained of were adopted at the instance of the presidents and regents of the various Institutions that comprise the conference. "The rules forbidding the training table, ajad the playing of gine,8 pff the University campus," ho said, "were drawn up tiy the presidents and, "re gents, .of. the colleges in the Missouri Valley Conference, and were later adopted by the conference to provide a uniformity of rulings. As to the Other charges, although they are in part inspired by personal feeling, there is nothing to be Baid at present." McC. PLANS FOR TRAIL COMPLETED Annual Y. W.
