""Tho Nobraskan will bo aont to any ud
dross upon receipt of tho subscription
prlco, which Ib ono dollar a year. Con
trlbutloiiB aro solicited from all,
AddrcBii all communlcatloiiB to Tho No
braskan, University of Nobrnska.
Something must bo done and dono
quickly In order to Htlr up soma ontli'is
Iiihiii for the Douno game. There seems
to bo an opinion prevailing, that thin
miimi Is to Ik- merely for practice. It Is
qulto tbo contrary. Despite Its Insigni
ficance, an wo aro wont to say, Douno
ranks well both In and out of tho state,
iih ii collcuo. Ono thing Is certain. It
bus n football team this year. It Is not
only tin- i". utorlul that Is there, but what
Ih Just an Important. It Is tlm ontlnulusm.
From pn-sent Indli-atlons, Douno Will
have as largo a following at tho mmu' as
we ourselves.
Doiino Is "laying" for us this year. They
have hired a conch for two weeks Just
to beat us. They aro straining every
nerve to do It. Every student who stays
away from the gumo tomorrow, will help
tbo Douno men beat us. Our players
must have your support. And tho athletic
association must havo your support. Aro
you going to give it?
In theso times of lack of Inturest In uni
versity affairs, nowhero Is It more notlco
ablo than as shown toward thu proposi
tion offered by thu business managers
of tho Sombrero. A prize of ten dollars
has been offered for tho best story tho
second prize, that of having tho honor
of its publication. Another prlzo of llvo
dollars is offered for tho best poem. Al
thoiiKb theso offers have beon given all
publicity possible, no notlceablo returns
have resulted. In consequence, tho time
has been extended till January 1G. This
will give every one a Rood chauco to com
pose a winning story.
Tho Ncbraskan congratulates tbo Pal
ladlan society upon her sliver miniver
snry. Her members havo every reason
to rejolco upon tho society's good record
nud achluvments. Sbo is today ns she
has ever been, in tho foreground In so
cial and literary work. Tho university
recognizes her good work, and the lit.
ting character of her celebration, In sus
pending classes today. In securing ex
Chancellor Falrlleld to deliver tho an
niversary address tho society did wisely.
Let every student rejolco In tho Pallad
Ian society's great birth-day. Whatever
may bo our opinions upon literary work,
we have but ono sentiment, "long llvo tho
society."
Thcro bus been a notlceablo bit of cn
courugement In football matters during
tho past week, but there is no feeling of
confidence as to tho result of tho Don no
game. Tho fact Is that our boys aro
"mighty scared." They havo good cause
to bo however. Donne remembers tho
unmerciful drubbing wo gave her last
year on her own grounds, and they aro
going to exert every effort to beat us.
To this end, thoy havo hired Charley
Thomas as coach a man above all men
whom wo fear In that position. Not on
account of Mr. Thomas' superior ability
ns a coach, but for tho reason that be
is most acquainted with our players and
our stylo of playing. Ho has a football
coach to buck against however, so wo
feel secure In this fact.
t
An Increased attendance means so
much more encouragement for our play
ers. Who Is thore, who was at tho
Doane game last year and does not ro
member how our hoys made gain nfter
gain, nil from tho fact that a crowd of
"rooters" stood at tho sldo linos and en
couraged thorn In their plays. No bettor
demonstration of tho spirit tbo crowd
can lond to our playors, Is needed, than
this one. To be sure it mndo somo of
Doano's gentlemanly nollcomon rather
angry but thoy got ovcr It after tho
game. So if everybody comes along to
morrow, and brings ills football spirit
with him, it moans success for our tonm.
Tho dlscournglng prospects of our foot
ball team has resulted in ono advantago.

Tbo Youthful Philosopher had never
been built to work. Had bo boon built orig
inally for a worker there was certainly

was his placid Indirfcrcuco here he
showed ho was a philosopher. Moreove.
ho took great pains to let other people
see It here he showed that he was youth

or thltiKS except that worshipped and
adored the Youthful Philosopher. Oh yes,

Ho was coming out of the library where
he had been studying the advertisements
In the back of the magazines, and was i

Youthful Philosopher often received his
own congratulations In this way, how
ever, because he never considered that he
needed to study unless ho was in Immed
iate danger of being bodily ejected from
bis classes.
Ho stood In the bottom library step,
and looked to tbo north end of the cam
pus whore there was a surging black mass
of students falling over each other In a
constant endeavor to see all tho players
In tbo football practice gamo like a
crowd of school kids following up a mi
gratory dog light.
"Here.'' said the Youthful Philosopher,
"I am amused to seo my esteemed fellow
creatures following their natural bent of
acting llko sheep. Although l am not
shepherd, 1 think 1 will walk over and
watch them from a distance."
Ho stepped down the remaining stair
and started .when someone running up
from tho ground lloor. collided with him
violently, nearly knocking him over tbo
scraper. Tbo Youthful Philosopher par
tially regained his equilibrium, felt his
back hair to seo If any was J.iried loose
and looked to see who his assailant was.
It was tho Prince of Liars.
"Hello," said tho Youthful Philosopher,
"Is that tbo usual way you come up tho
steps?"
The Prince of Liars grinned. "Going to
watch football?" ho asked.
"No." said the Youthful Philosopher.
"Hut I'm going to watch the people watch
the game. Whero on earth did you got
that bat?"
"Ob, my roommate took mine by mis
take this noon and I have to wear his.
It's a little ssmall Isn't It?" and ho quick
ened his pace a little as he looked back
at tho library.
The Youthful Philosopher happened to
know that the Prince of Liars didn't have
any roommate, but he remained silent.
They approached the west steps and they
both saw that standing In the doorway
wero tho Social Straggler, the Dear
Th'ng the Society Girl, and tbo Profes
sional Flirt. Tbo Youthful I'lillnvophoi
feigned to be very busy watching the
players, because bo didn't care to take
tho troublo to remove his hat. Ho took
his stand on tho stone walk a few feot
from tbo steps whore ho knew ho was
safe from Intrusion from everyone ex
cept tbo Professional Flirt whom ho know
would got him If sbo happened to want
him anyway. FHB,t never saved anyono
from tbo Professional Flirt. It simply do
layed capture.
Tho Dear Thing was oxhubomnt on tho
stops and It required tbo united offorts
of tho Socloty Girl and tho Social Strug
glor to keep hor from falling ovoi tho rail
ovory tlmo tho ball was passed. Anything
that bordered on oxcltemont was onough
to throw tho Dear Thing Into tho first
stages of hysteria.
"That full-back plays a mighty hoady
gamo." remarked tho Prlnco of Llnrs.
J". yes, Bald tho Youthful Phlloso
phor Indlfrorently. Ho nlwnv mn,i u

"He don't make tlm mnu mi. ...
Ulon though. I used to play that ilosl
tlon myself and happened lo make a lino
record too," further volunteered Ills
Highness, uubluHlilngly.
"Indeed7 I hadn't heard." said thu
Youthful Philosopher. Inwardly praying
that ho wouldn't try to tell about It.
'Ves It was three years ago In Indiana,
mill"
Hero ho was Interrupted by tho Gilded
Fool who came brushing past him. Ho
was going past without speaking when
lie suddenly thought of something a ru-
inarkablo occurrence, truly and came
back abruptly.
'Who Ih that fellow playing quarlerV"
he asked.
"I don't know," said the Prince of Liars,
"I wondered becatiso I thought a Utile
coaching would bring him out," explained
the Glided Fool.
"Yes, It possibly might," reluctantly as
sented the Prince of Lint i. If bo doesn't
Improve In a Hutu tlmp t think I shall
go out and tialu him nscli. When I
was In California throe years ago 1 used
to play a. pietty fast center rush myself."
(Ills Highness weighed about li.0 pounds.)
"Tho coach wanted mo to"
Further digression from fact was
checked by the Glided Fool's laughing
straight In bis face.
Where did you gut that bat?" be
asked.
'Tho Prlnco of Liars was much dis
pleased and a lit tip mortlllod, for he took
great pride In his personal appearance
such as It was.
"Why this hat Is ono my uncle sent
mo a week or so ago. He evidently has
foruotton what slzo I wear for you see

The- smile completely hypnotized the Cllld-

steps and surrendered.

"That girl seems to be quite popular
of Liars after he had gone. "Sbo has
often tried to get me In her train bui
of course I step asldo to make room for
the other fellows."
Tho Youthful Philosopher was getting
terribly bored and bo mndo no effort to
conceal It. Ho looked over toward the
library as If In search of something quiet
ing to think about, when he saw the Ex
citable Person came running bare-headed
down tho library stairs, eleven steps at
a time, and make for tho football Held
with his hair waving Joyously In thu
breeze. He stopped when ho saw tho In
tellectual countenance of thu Prince of
Liars, and cairn toward him on the Jump,
"Where did you get that hut?" ho cried
u great deal louder than he needed to
have done.
This question seemed to be gutting age
and the Youthful Philosopher groanen
audibly. The Kxcltablo Person bad called
the attention of tbo group at the top of
the steps and they looked down In semi
Interest. The Prince of Liars for onuu seemed at
a loss.
"This belong to ono of tho football
boys," be began, "ho was afraid to put
It In bis locker for fear It might be swiped
and so"
"I should think ho would bo, if you
wero around." snorted tho Excitable Per
son with a great deal moro force than
elegance.
"You swiped that hat off my table In
tbo library and you know It, and If you
over steal my hat agilu I'll"
Just then tbo wheezy gong In tho main
building went on. Tho Excitable Person
did not stop to divulge his dlro threat,
but started back to the library at tbo top
of bis speed, tightly grasping his recov
ered hat in bis hand.
'"Your memory seems to bo pretty poor
about your own clothes." remarked the
Youthful Philosopher dryly, looking at
tho hatless Princo of Liars. "I bellovo
If 1 wero you, I should got the Janitor to
lend me a hat until I could write to my
uncle for one that I could always Identi

own head goa,r Is safe."
And as ho left him, ho grinned tho
Youthful Philosopher did. II. 8.
