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.

THOMAS SENDS SPECIAL TELEGRAMS ON CORNHUSKER TRIP TO THE NEBRASKAN
Dwight Thomas' first news story from the Cornhusker special train is printed in this
issue of The Daily Nebraskan. With its own sporting editor sending special telegrams night
ly to The Nebraskan, University students are receiving the news of the great road trip m
lheirown publication, by a member of their own student body a service unexcelled by any
newspaper in the state.
Thomas' special stories to The Daily Nebraskan, including his account of the Oregon Aggie.
Nebraska University football game on Saturday, will continue until the trip is brought to a
happy end next week.
This is but a part of the general policy of The Daily Nebraskan to be first in all that per
tains to the Stale University life. The Daily Nebraskan is indeed "the best university news
paper in the world."
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

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.

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

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.
