Injury of Riddell Brings Gloom ;

TEAM CONDITION DOUBTFUL
,
Squad Will Leave at 4.30 Today
Reaching Ann Arbor at 7 O'clock
Return Monday
Gloom was the thing most in evi
dence in the Cornhusker camp yester
day afternoon. The unexpected in
jury of Riddell in Tuesday's practice,
Otoupalik's absence and the doubtful
strength of several varsity men all
served to make victory in Saturday's
game look more distant. The only
cheering thing in the afternoon's pro
gram was the return of Schellenberg
to the lineup.
The freshmen had an easy time
stopping all the varsity attempts at
gains and repeatedly blocked place
and drop kicks. Even in punting there
was lacking a punch. Dobson was
unable to get the usual drive and
many of his kicks were not carrying
over forty yards.
Plans were practically complete last
evening for the trip to Michigan. A
special car will leave the city at 4:30
this afternoon, recahing Ann Arbor at
about 7 o'clock Friday evening. The
return trip will be started Saturday
night. Sunday will be spent in Chi

PROFESSOR BRADFORD AT

Prof. Harry E. Bradford. Principal
of the school of agriculture, was the
gpeaker at the regular Y. M. C. A.
men-. meeting in the Temple last
night A Urge number of men en
joyed hi. talk on the subject of
"Picked Men."
Speaking of the present crisis. Pro

the method used by the government
in making selections for military serv

versity men constitute this group of
special privileges and opportunities.
They should realize this fact. In
some cases such a realization will re
sult in an Increase in the size of the
hat; others are serious and recognize
their greater responsibility.
"We should find our weaknesses and
make it a part of our school life to
overcome these defects in our charac
ter. Let us think solidly, originally
and broadly."
Professor Bradford closed with an
anneal for greater effort toward lead
ership in university life. "Many men
enter college, remain four years, and
at the end of their course have as
sumed little of responsibity in con
nection with school life. Greater de
mands are being made now than ever
before for men of power and it is
possbile to develop our latent possi
bilities only through the exercising of
our abilities to the fullest degree."
LAST WORD TO HUSKERS
AT 11 THIS MORNING
One of Most Important Rallies of
Year in Armory For Michi
gan Send-Off
At 11 o'clock this morning in the
Armory students will gather for one
of the most important rallies of the
year. It will be the send-off for the
team which leaves this afternoon to
meet the Wolverines on Ann Arbor
field Saturday.
The Michigan coach acknowledges
that he has the best team he has had
in vears and Coach Stewart is frank
to confess that with the injury of
Riddell and other men it will be the
hardest fieht of the season. Every
bit of encouragement that students
ran rive will be necessary It tne team
is to leave with the grim determina
tion that will carry them througn to
victory.
roach Stewart will be there to give
the final dope on the game, as he sees
it. Captain Shaw. Owen Frank and
Dean Engberg will give short ta:Ks.
The band will be out and will do what
it can to put the ring of U-U-Uni in
the ears of the squad today until after
Saturday's battle.
Registration Drops
Registration at the school of agri
culture, which opened for the scho-.l
year on Monday. October 15, is about
20 per cent less than that or last year.
This is considered a good record for
an agricultural school in view of the
general shortage of students in all
colleges. Boys in attendance win De
iriven an opportunity to return nqme
to aid in harvesting the crops and
will be permitted to make up their
work later.
Corner Stone Laid
The corner stone of the new agri
cultural engineering hall was laid last
week. No special ceremonies markea
cir.iilnn ha a heen substituted for

the event. Reinforced concrete con

to completion as rapidly as possible
The engineering hall, which will be
one of the largest structures on the
farm campus of the University, will
probably be ready for occupancy next
