WASHBURNJAME TODAY
FIRST GAME OF SEASON PROMISES
TO BE A STIFF ONE.
CORNHUSKERS IN GOOD TRIM
Lineup Cannot Be Learned as Wash
burn is Not in Town Up to Late
Hour Last Night.
(H. V. Harlan.)
After the green colored borealis of
Thursday's scrimmage the practice yes
terday afternoon looked and was ex
ceedingly tame. But that was as it
shouH he. A hard scrimmage Thurs-
day and a light signal practice Friday
puts the Cornhusker team in prime
coiiv'il m lor today's game. Coach
Sti'lrn s- lit. his machine through a
short session-of snappy signal practice.
His erdict is that the hoys are in
good snap and he is hopeful of win
ning the game
Washburn is First.
Washburn is the first game of the
season. It is a game that is being
watched with interest by all the Mis
souri Valley schools of "higher eddlca
tion." No one i confident of the out
come. Yet much hinges on it. If
Nebraska receives the small end of
the score, vh,b she would still be in
the running n- the Valley champion
ship, the fan1- would be very much
disappointed Washburn seems to be
confident of Icing able to take home
the bacon. Whether she can or no
remain to be teen.
It must be remembered that last
year Washburn defeated both Kansas
and Denver Universities. The Con
gregational lads are figuring on put
ting up a gump fight. Too, they have
had two weeks more practice than the
University. They are said to have a
heavy line and a fast backfield.
Cornhusker Team in Good Shape.
YF1 nevertheless and notwithstand
ing all this, there is on the campus
and in the heart of every Cornhusker
lad and lassie an undertone of strong,
complete confidence in the Cornhusker
team. They KNOW that Coach Stiehm
and the team ha,ve had many obstacles
to overcome They KNOW that both
have given of their time and of their
energy that they could be moulded in
to a championship machine. They
KNOW that today the team is. going
to put eveiything they have Into the
game and are j:oing to win of human
brains, brawn and bravery can win.
All this they know and MOKE They
know that .every mother's son of the
student body is going to be among
those present to cheer the boys to vic
tory. Everyone wil lbe there. It is
going to be a game worth the seeing.
THE TEAM NEEDS YOU.
Probable Lineup.
With four of the best players on the
hospital list it is hard to make up the
team. Hawkins, Cameron, Shields and
Halligan are all out of the game today
with injuries. If Towle goes In at
quarter, Beck will play left end and
Howard full. While if Beck goes to
quarter Howard will play left end with
Coffee at full. Right tackle will be
filled with either Ballis, Griswoid or
Halligan. Left tackle by Heller, Grls-

pointed about the middle of last year
The Methodist church selected Rev.
Evans A. Worthly as university pastor
at its recent annual conference in this
city. The Baptists are expecting to
have a representative on the grounds
in t lie near future.
The university pastors are men who
are familiar with student life. They
give their entire time to work among
students. They work in co-operation
with the local pastors and with the
association escretaries. They devote
much time to pastoral calling. They
visit the students in their homes, talk
over their plans for life work, try to
help them with the problems that are
constantly before the thoughtful stu
dent They conduct services from
time to time in their respective
churches in the city, but their work
consists mainly in associating with the
students. University men and women
will find It helpful to bee me ac
quainted with these men, and frankly
discuss with them any questions which
may arise in connection with their
university life.

Badly by Several Churches.
Several churches are asking urgently
for help in their work with boys. These

Westminister Presbyterian Sunday
school, two by the Emmanuel Metho
dist Sunday school and two by the
Boys' Division of the City Y. M. C. A.

Bauman Withdraws
From Junior Race
Stewart Runs Alone
A critical situation in the politics of
the unior class was averted yesterday
by the withdrawal of one candidate, W.
H. Bauman, leaving the field open to
Cloyd Stewart. Although Bauman did
not file his application for a place on
the ballot with the registrar, he was
nevertheless actively working up a fol
lowing, with every intention of finish
ing the race.
A short time before the closing of
filing he announced that he had de
cided to withdraw from the race, giv
ing it as liis reason that he had found
opposition to his candidacy on the
grounds that he was a member of an
organization which had already held a
number of class honors. Rather than
add fuel to any flames of opposition of
this nature, he withdrew before enter
ing his name upon the race. Activity
in athletic lines with a heavy engineer
ing schedule also influenced him. This
leaves the junior question practically
settled with Cloyd Stewart In the chair.
