The center of Nebraska's football

over an hour the two elevens
sweat, ripped, and struggled with hon
ors about een. The varsity showed
occasional Hashes of mid-season form,
but for tin most part the playing of
both teams was ragged.
Hawkins is Injured.
All in all. It was an expensive prac
tice. Early in the set-to HawkiiiB got
the litUo finger of his right hand
broken. Later, while running a fresh
man punt back he was tackled around
the neck and received a nasty fall
which resulted in breaking a tendon
in his right ankle. He was carried
from the field with his ankle rapidly
swelling to twice its normal size. This
will, in all probability, keep Hawkins
out of the game for a week or two
Freshmen Buck Line.
Durir.f 'he fnM ten minutes of play
the freshmen kept the ball in varsity
territory through the plungiim of their
iwo halfbacks, Rasmussen and Cham
berlain. These two men seemed to be
able to rip through the varsity line at
will, making their biggest gains
through the right wing. Within five
ards of the varsity goal t ho freshman
fumbled and Hawkins booted the pig
skin back to the middle of the field.
There was a lot of fumbling on both
sides. Hawkins missed some easy
.chances, but his kicking was good.
Varsity Begins Progress.
'The varsity finally took the ball and
began a steady walk for the freshman
goaJ line. A few minutes later they
drew. first blood when Westover (who
had taken Hawkins' place at quarter)
went over for a touchdown. Coach
Stiehin then gave the ball to the fresh
man on the varsity five-yard line, ad
monishing the varsity that "they would
have to stay there all night until they
could hold the freshies for ten downs."
After the first-year men had made five
or six, more or less, touchdowns, the
varsity was able to stop their on
slaught, which ended the battle.
More Men Needed.
It's a little early yet to make "dope,"
but a few more grinds like the one
yesterday will round the Scarlet and
Cream into shape. Coach Stiehm did
not have much to say. But one thing
he did say, and that was that there is
u glaring scarcity of material. And he
is right. -Ames has ninety men out,
and laat evening "Jumbo" had not
more than fifty. The Coach MUST
HAVE1M9RB MEN.

STILL VACANCIES IN CHORUS
LIKE A NEWSPAPER OFFICE
Only Printing Presses Lacking in the
School of Journalism.
New York, Sept. 25. With report

clipping files and other features of up--to-date
newspaper- plants, the new
building of the School of Journalism
at Columbia University will throw open
its doors to Btudents on Wednesday,

university gets under way. The ab
sence of large printing presses is all
that Is lacking for a complete news

possible by the late Joseph Pulitzer,

establishment.

ROB FOOTBALL OF ITS MERITS
So Says Lincoln Star, Basing Opinion
on Facts 8hown by University
Books.
The figures on tho books in tho omco
of tho Secretary of tho Stato Univer
sity show that tho rocolptB from foot
ball during the 1912 season not only
met all of tho Incidental expenses
FMWl Ilia fryniiuiulnm nn, paff fnr
the expenses of tho team, but that
there was sufficient balance at tho end
of tho season to pay all the deficits of
the track, baaeball, wrestling, cross
country, and gymnasium team.
However, when the expenses of the
minor teams were paid thero was not
enough cash left in the treasury to
come anywhere near providing for the
adequate facilities to take care of in
jured football players during the .pres
ent season. The gridiron game Bhowed
a balance of $:,7t& at the end of last
season, and it was one of the poorest
years, financially, that the sport has
encountered In the Nebraska school.
The ordinary season will yield between
$4,000 and $5,000.
In a very few years this surplus, if
used for football purposes, would give
the athletic board a sufficient sum .to
build a structure upon tho athletic
field and equip it with all of tho mod
ern appliances known to the physical
training world for tho prevention and
curing of sprains and strains aa well
as more serious injuries.
Money Goes to Other Sports.
If tho monoy which football has
made for the athletic department of
the state school had been used for
such purposes during the past ten
years Nebraska would now have an
equipment which would rival that of
any school In the country In caring
for injured players. But this surplus
has been spent In sending traok teams
to the meets In the valley and.tjo gym
teams to Chicago and the football moji,
the men who earn the money,, must
put up with an old-fashioned. and, worn
out machine for baking chajley horses
which the coaches In an up-to-date high
school would scorn to use.
The books In the administration
building tell the tale. The figures. had
not been totalled yet for tho year
1912-13 Thursday morning, but a re
porter took them off the cash book
nnd they are authentic. Basketball is
the only sport outside of football wjilch
paid for Itself, but tho great indoor
sport did not leave practically any
surplus in the treasury after the sea
son was over.
Wrestling, a sport that the students
scarcely ever hear of and which gives
athletic training to about a half dozen
men, squandered $242 In cash which
could well have been used by the foot
ball management in improving the
bathrooms and massage apparatus for
the players. Baseball spent $999.53
