GOPHERS MEET COYOTES
"DOC" WILLIAMS HAS INVENTED
NEW PLAY8 FOR MIX WITH
SOUTH DAKOTA.
SECRET PRACTICE THE ORDER
Men Will Moot Eligibility Committee
Tomorrow for Their
Final Work.
Minneapolis, Minn.. Sept. 26. Dr.
Williams and his assistants are now
mj'idly building up the team which
-.will bo aeat againt-Soufch Bakota-
Saturday
Bucret practice has been the order
at Northrop Mold for the last two
days and only those who can give the
very best references are allowed to
ritoter the gates. This means that the
Coyotes will bo called on to solve some
of the trickiest plays that Dr. Williams
can invent In Saturday's contest.
From Camp Marshall comes the cry,
".Look out for Minnesota." This shows
exactly how Gopher prospects are re
garded in other camps. With ten of
last yitr's veterans striving to retain
their,.sitions against the onslaughts
of ambitious newcomers, the Minne
sota coach has the nucleus about which
a winning team can bo built. Thia
afternoon a couple of changes were
made in the lineup of the first squad.
Mattern and Solon worked with the
reservep, while Ricrman and Shnug
nessy took their places in the first
team- back field.
Dr. Williams will take no chances
with South Dakota, but intends to
have hiB team In the best possible
shaps for the brush with Coach Hen
derson's men. While the South Da
kota line is causing the coaches some
little anxiety, the backfield looks very
good. Vidial, at the quarterback posi
tion, bids fair to rival Pat Coffey of
last year's team. Halfback FerguBon,
too, is exected to be a consistent ground
gainer in the Gopher contest.
Although Coach Henderson has prac
tically selected his first team, today's
scrimmage may send some of these
men .to.lhe reserves. Light practcice
will be indulged in Thursday and Fri
day morning, the Dakotans departing
for Minneapolis.

SCHOLASTIC STANDARD OF UNIVERSITY MEN
Dean Egberg Compiles Annual Report, Showing Rtanding of Fraternit e
and Organizations -Higher Scholastic Standard Last
Year Than Year Previous
The following table, prepared by Dean Engberg, shows the annual stand
ing of the Greek letter societies of the school, complied from the records of
the first and second semesters of last year. And at tho same time the
comparative standards of some of the other organizations and of the men of
the school as a whole are shown. Acacia and Delta Chi lead the other fra
ternities in the scholastic standing for the two semesters, dividing honors
for first place.
Comparison of fraternity and non-fraternity scholastic standing proves
the same old Nebraska rule that tho fraternity average Is below that of
the "barb." And the Farm House students have succeeded In excelling both
records In the two semesters of their existence, carrying a final average
of 261.6 the second semester, as opposed to the general average for all men
during that semester of 181.0.
The general result of the classification shows, however, that the stand
ard in scholarships was much higher last year than the year previous, both
in fraternities and in general. And that the second semester was more pro
lific of good grades than the flrBt.

that some mighty good ones are to be
uncorked.
