PRICE FIVE CENTS Daily CORNHUSKERS IN SNOW AS TRAIN CROSES STATE LINE ALUMNI GREET FOOTBALL TEAM AS STOPS ARE MADE Practice Held at Julesburg, Col., and Laramie, Wyo. Everybody Happy, Says Thomas BY DWIGHT P. THOMAS. (Special Telegram to The Daily Ne braskan.) Laramie, Wyo., Oct. 18. From the warmth of the greatest sendoff ever given a Cornhusker football team to six inches of snow at Julesburg, Col., Coach Stewart's team has finished the first lap of its cross-continent trip to the enemy's country. Everybody is happy. Pride in their school, the pure fun of the trip, hope of a victory over the best team on the coast next Saturday, are all uniting to make the University's band, football team, rooters, coaches, and business men making the trip, foel in the best of spirits. A Triumphal March The westward progress of the spe cial train has been in the nature of a triumphal march, crowds turning out at each town on the itinerary to greet the Comhuskers, and wish them luck. Alumni of the University, who have in a measure lost touch with their alma mater, have seized the op portunity to get again a taste of Ne braska University spirit, and to join again in the varsity yells and songs. Crowds at North riatte met the train and exchanged greetings for a few minutes while the train crew were receiving their orders. At Sid ney, Neb., the high school students acted as the reception committee. It is safe to say that every one of the high school pupils made the mental re solve that he would not cease his school days until he had come to the University of his state. Overcoats Hauled Out As the train cleared the Nebraska prairies, and got into the high plains of Colorado, the change in tempera ture became marked. Overcoats were hauled out of suitcases, and the foot ball men donned their sweaters not STIE11M STRUGGLES TO BUILD UP TEAM PROSPECTS BRIGHTER FOR NEXT YEAR, IS REPORT Whisman and Lowman, Assistant Coaches, with Conn, to Teach Athletics Bloomington. Ind., Oct 18. Indiana university is starting the athletic year with both bright and gloomy prospects this apparently contradic tory statement being explained by say ing that while the immediate prospects are discouraging there is every reason to feel encouraged over the future. The University has engaged Ewald O. Stiehm, of the. University of Ne braska, as director of athletics. He is at present hard at woVk trying to build up a football team from more or less mediocre and inexperienced material and is struggling against the mlsfor tunes of injuries and sickness in the team. On the other hand, the freshman football material is of the highest or der and frequently holds the varsity team to close scores. Thus the pros pects for next year are bright in this great college sport. Stiehm's Able Assistants Assisting Mr. Stiehm are several new men of experience and ability. One is Ray M. Whisman. halfback, only for the proud display of their colors, but to keep warm as well. At Julesburg the thermometer read 38 de grees above zero, and snow six inches deep lay on the ground. . The first practice of the football team on the road trip was held in the streets of Julesburg. Clad in light running trunks and jerseys, the twenty three varsity men limbered up before crowds of Coloradoans, running through signal practice, and drilling upon the formations to be used against the Oregon Aggies next Saturday afternoon. Men in Fine Fettle The men were in fine fettle, and went through their paces with snap and vim. The cadet band gave its first con cert in Julesburg while the team was practicing. With every instrument polished to the highest degree, every uniform in best of trim, and their scar let sashes proudly declaring the colors and name of their school, the band tooted enthusiastically and thrillingly the Cornhusker hymns, as well as some of their long repertoire of stir ring pieces. One of the Julesburg druggists, knowing student nature, and declaring that he had never listened to a better band, produced a five-pound box of candy which was taken to the train and soon disposed of, the coach keep ing his eye on the men lest they par take too freely of the sweets. Little danger of that, however, among the hungry mob. Julesburg to Laramie From Julesburg the train sped on to Laramie, where the stop is being made now. The team got into track suits here, and have been running through their formations again under the prod of Stewart. No matter what lineup starts the game Saturday, every man will be ready to fulfill the pledge made at the great rally Tuesday night, "for Nebraska, we will." Coach Stewart has been improving the time during the trip with informal talks over the Saturday game, and after lunch today he gave a black board talk to the men, instructing them on the formations that would probably be met, and showing them how to break up the opposition plays.

MAKE RAPID PROGRESS ON VARSITY BUILDINGS END IN SIGHT ON CITY CAMPUS HALLS Mill Work Will be Delayed Dairy Husbandry Building Soon Ready Work on the new buildings of the extended city campus and at the farm had progressed rapidly since the opening of school. The Dairy Husban dry building at the farm will be ready for occupation, fully equipped, within a month. The Bessey building is completed save for interior decoration and finishing. The contractors on Chemistry hall will start on the roof shortly. The departments at the farm which will use the Dairy Husbandry building have been badly cramped for space, and they will welcome their new quar ters gladly. The contract for the ar chitectural engineering, also badly needed by the college of architectural engineering, has not been let because of material prices. Downtown the work has been ham pered somewhat because of the scar city of material. Although the inter ior fixtures and finishings for Bessey hall have long been contracted for, the factories have been unable to make deliveries on all of it, and it may be some time yet before the building is ready for occupation. It is probable DEAN MARY GRAHAM TO GIVE INFORMAL TEA THIS AFTERNOON Dean Mary Graham will give a tea for all University girls in Art hall this afternoon from 4 to 5:30. This is the third reception given by Miss Graham, who holds the parties to bring the girls together, since the fall term be gan. They are continued throughout the university year. UPPERGLASS GIRLS WINJN SOCCER DEFEAT UNDERCLASS TEAM BY SCORE OF 3 TO 0 Beginning Girls Have Not Been Able to Score as Yet Star Players The upperclassmen defeated the lower classmen by a score of 3 to 0 Wednesday morning in one of the best played soccer games since the game has been taken up by Nebraska co ed athletes. The score is the same as tha of last Monday. So far the lowerclsss men iiave not been rble to get the bill past the uppe'-iactmcn defense. The co-eds have taken up the game with an enthusiasm that rivals basket ball, which heretofore has been the most popular sport for the girls. At the first few practices the ball ran (Continued to Page Two) that inside material for the Chemistry building will be here by the time the builders arc ready for it, in which case the hall will be finished almost as soon as the Bessey building. Revising Plans Coolidge & Hodgdon of Chicago, University architects, are now revis ing the first plans that were submit ted to the regents for the Social Sci ence building. Estimates on the cost of erecting it as originally planned ex ceeded the appropriation and it was found necessary to cut it down In size. This will eliminate two departments from quarters in the new structure philosophy and rhetoric. The Social Science building will probably be placed at Twelfth and S streets, across from the Armory, al though on one of the plans for campus extension up before the board of re gents for approval this summer, it was to be situated across Twelfth street. The general outline of the extended city campus is gradually becoming visible with the progress of work on the first two structures which marked the initial building campaign. Chemis try and Bessey halls. They form the first cornerstones of the metamor phosed campus which in ten years will have entirely obliterated the pres ent picture. With most of the struc tures entirely new or largely rebuilt and artistically arranged, the future campus will present a picture in keep ing with the progress of the Univer sity along intellectual lines.
