According to university custom and
tradition these caps must be worn up

"Increased enrollment last year
forced -us to hold classes in four dif

growth of the Daily Kansan and other
publications issued at the department
of journalism press called for new
printing equipment for which there
was no floor space."
Now the $35,000 printing plant will
have the entire basement. A Cleve

SCRIMMAGE GRIND
STARTS FOR HUSKERS
Dawson Drills Varsity In Passing
Sticks to Open Game and Funda
mentals for Present.
Over four complete teams turned
out last evening for the initial scrim
mage of the season. Coach Dawson
started the men out with the regular
routine and finished up with twenty
initiates of fast scrimmage work.
The Huskers took the first workout
of the season on Nebraska field las:
evening. The field has been covered
with saw-dust and has been put in
first class shape for the season. m
fair sized crowd of interested Husker
enthusiasts viewed the work of the
varsity last night.
The scrimmage work consisted en
tirely of forward passing. The backs
were not called on to carry the ball
at any time during the workout. Fresh
man Coach Farley Young expects to
have his proteges in shape to give the
varsity some real competion early next
week.
Coach Dawson expects to drill the
Huskers on the fundamentals of the
game for the next two or three weeks
in preparation for some of the heavier
contests on the schedule.
Nebraska was unusually weak last year
in defensive work against the forward
pass and the new Husker mentor feels
that some time will be needed in de
veloping a strong defense against the
a rial siyle of attack.
"Dinty" Moore, who has not been
able to be out for practice on account
of a bad foot, made his appearanc e last
evening and worked at his old position
iu the baekfield. Coach Dawson is us
ing no regular line-up now but is shift
ing the men about from one team to
the other.
Reports coming in from Wesleyan in
.licate that the Methodists expect to
have one of the greatest elevens in
the history of the school and are look
ing forward to a championship year in
state conference circles. Coach Mo
"endless is optimistic on the outcome
of the Husker-Wesleyan game slated
for October 1, but expects to pu a
defensive eleven against the Huskers
that will give Coach Dawson's men a
real battle. The Methodists have a
larger number of men out for the pig
skin sport than have reported here.
LAW STUDENTS RENT
BOOKS AT LOW PRICE
The plan of renting boks to students
instituted last year by Dean Seavey
has proved popular with the students.
Undr this arrangement all the. case
books needed during the semester can
bt rented for five dollars. This enables
each student to have the necessary
texts at all times, and at an expense
much lower than if he were forced to
buy them.
All collateral reading, and reference
work can be done in the law library,
which aitoros a complete ul n im

The Orpheum circuit this week of

Edwards and his juvenile musical re

Chester Fredericks the boy dancer
will be heard of again. The chorus is
a pleasure to the eye and prettily cos
tumed. "Sandy" the wee bit of Scothch
will doubtless improve with age as
is the Scotch custom. An amusing
travesty on modern house-keeping in
one room is presented under the title
of 'A'Dramatic Episode." The Chinese
Nightingale sings a clever parody on
"Feather Your Nest" in what is con
sidered English fashion.
Samsted, the strong man closes m
a rather unique manner by offering
some good advice on physical culture.
evening dress Is required and it cost
a body one pound in English cash or
five dollars in American bucks. That
iz without a lady. Of course if a lady
is dragged in by the elbow an addi
tional charge of three and a half dol
1 irs is added, making the total, per
couple, at eight dollars and fifty cents.
To date we have been a riot, con
citedly speaking, and we have laid
a'.-ay enough shillings to buy a case of
Shinola and eat with more than one
fork. We have had more press adver
tisement that the Dempsey-Carpenter
fight. A short time ago we played for
an American athletic meet at the Lon
don Country club and we were filmed
by the Pathe News and the Slznick
News. Keep a lookout in the movies.
Jack, and you will see the Ragged-Act
Band casting many a mean note into
the ether amid the deafing shouts of
the crowd. Of course you won't be able
to hear the applause but you can ima
gine it like we did.
Beginning on Friday next, we begin
miking phonograph records for the
Edison company and will make a total
of twelve on the contract that we hare
with them. Then if things go as well
as here-to-fore I am going to run for

Ccach Farley Young put the Yearl
ings thru a series of duck-walking,
shadow running and sprinting along
with kicking and passing the ball. He
says this kind of work makes them
longwinded and makes them have a
lot of endurance which is one of the
lyiain requirements in football.
There are some freshmen that are
showing up exceptionally good and
these will no doubt be used quite fre
quently in scrimmage w ith the vorsity.
