the
Football, the "game' of games,
greatest of Varsity athletics,
sport in which Nebraska university
has stood without a peer in Missouri
Valley conference circles for the past
five years, starts in earnest this after
. noon, with prospects for another cham
pionship team.
Regulars and rookies who spent
part of last week at Beatrice under
the direction of Captain Corey, work
ing some of the kinks out of their
muscular system, returned to Lincoln
yesterday. At the same time others
came in, and Assistant Coach Ruther
ford doled out equipment to the "N"
aspirants.
Fifteen letter men will start the sea
son in an effort to make the team
the largest number that have ever re
turned in the history of the school.
All of them are on the ground now
except Ed Shaw, valiant tackle, who is
delayed by some business matters, but
who will be working out with the rest
of the bunch before the week is over.
The Candidates
Besides Captain "Tim" Corey and
Shaw, the men who will try again for
a place on the eleven who have al
ready made their mark are Cameron
and Moser, centers Caley and Cook,
quarterbacks; Rlddell, end; Doyle and
Otoupalik, fullbacks; Gardiner, Proc
tor, Porter and Selzer, halfbacks; Hal-
bersleben and Kositzky, linemen.

pearance of Dr. E. J. Stewart, former
coach of the Oregon Aggies, In Mis
souri Valley conference coaching. Dr.
Stewart comes with a splendid record,
he is enthusiastic to get to work, and
he is assisted by Dick Rutherford,
who played so brilliantly for the last
three years.
Dr. Stewart has preferred to let
coaches of other schools, notably
Ames, Kansas and Kansas Aggies,
claim the championship before the
season is begun. He has made no
claims, only saying that he knows he
has good material, that the spirit of
the rooters 'is fine, and that he thinks
the team has an excellent chance to
cop the honors.
Cornhusker Losses
The hopes of the other Valley
schools to tear the first place
position from Nebraska rests on the
local loss of Rutherford, all-valley
halfback, Chamberlain, in the opinion
of many keen judges the best Ameri
can' end last year, and Abbott and
Shields, all-valley guards. But one
man who was accorded unanimous all
Missouri valley honors last year, Cap
tain Corey, is back. So the team has
lost four-fifths of its best strength.
Stewart says he realizes this loss is

LARGEST REGISTRATION
IN UNIVERSITY HISTORY
That the university will have the
heaviest registration in its history is
Indicated by the rush of students in
the Armory Wednesday morning.
Registrar Groer has confidently pre
dicted for the past few weeks that all
previous attendance records would be
broken, and his prediction is being
"verified by the rush at the Armory.
Yesterday the line for time cards was
a block long a quarter of an hour be
fore the doors opened, and 1,700 cards
were given out before the office closed
for the day.
All colleges and schools are enjoy
ing an Increased enrollment The ag
ricultural college as usual has a healthy
increase over the past year. The In
creased interest In the school of com
merce is being made evident by the
large number enrolling for the courses
there.
In spite of the fact that Fhl Beta
Kappa has removed the mathematics
and ancient language requirement for
membership in the society, the regis
tration In those courses baa been bet
ter than that of past years.
Tbe Armory was the scene of hearty
Dorothy Ellsworth, a prominent
senior girl, took her own life late this
summer by drinking acid, the day
after her fiance. Shirley Fossler, for
mer university student and assistant
city editor of the Lincoln Journal and
News, had died.
Miss Ellsworth was one or tne most
able of the senior girls. She had
taken part In several university plays,
had a leading role In the pageant of
1916, was active In Girls club and
Y. W. C A. work, a Blick Masque,
and a member of the Delta Gamma
sorority.
greetings and renewed friendships all
during the morning. Sorority girls
were much In evidence, but they care
fully refrained from showing too much
interest in entering freshmen. The
fraternity men were less scrupulous
about helping the new-coming friends
get their schedules arranged.
Fall track athletics will be fea
tured by the coaching department this
year, and the cinder path artists will
be asked to take the field early within
a few days. Costly experience of the
past has demonstrated to the coaching
department that when only the spring
is given over to track work, the var
sity is apt to lose prestige in valley
circles, when compelled to meet teams
with the superior advantages of year
around work.
To stimulate interest in the fall
work, an iuterclass track meet will be
held before winter sets in. The date
for this event has not been set, but
it will probably be held November 11,
the Saturday when the football team
is idle.
Coach Stewart is a track man as
well as a football, basketball and base
ball man, and he will find time to de
ovte some of his attention to the track
athletes. He will be assisted in this
by Athletic Manager Guy E. Reed, who
still holds several varsity records in
the sprints.
HONOR E. BENJAMIN ANDREWS
To honor former Chancellor E. Ben
jamin Andrews, through whose
efforts funds were secured for build
ing the Temple, a bronze tablet was
placed In the lobby of the building last
week, tbe gift of the class of 1915.
The tablet bears a suitable inscrip
tion to Chancellor AndrewB.
The former chancellor has written
to Chancellor Avery, expressing his
appreciation of the honor done him,
and his gratitude to the students who
have kept him in memory. In par
ticular did he thank the members of
the class of 1915, the chancellor and
Professor Orummann for the part
they had in securing the tablet.
Tired co-eds, or thirsty co-eds, or
just plain co-eds, (and some not so
plain), will be served tea and wafers
at the Y. W. C. A. rooms In the Tem
ple during the present week, by the
association girls. This is a past cus
tom, continued for several years, and
it has proved immensely popular with
the girls, who find that a hot cup of
tea, and a few moments' relaxation,
help revive drooping and homesick
spirits. Upper class girls will wel
come the freshmen at the association
rooms.
Miss Ruth Curtis, daughter of Dean
Curtis of the University of Iowa, will
have charge of the courses In cloth
ing study in the home economics de
partment this year.
Prof. J. N. Bridgman, of the depart
ment of civil engineering, spent the
summer in the employ of the Atchi
son, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway com
pany. He was engaged for a few
weeks in the offices at Chicago and for
the balance of the time on location in
Texas.

tonight Caleb Jackson, the cabinet

Harry Bigglestone, the new general
secretary, will be on hand, reinforced
by the cabinet and five or six hundred
old students, who want to get the new
