play that was mado by tho Donno mon.
Tho whistle Interrupted furthur play

THE SECOND HAIiV.
By tho tlmo tho socond half opened,
Nobraska was beginning to got In tho
gatno. Tho conch gtivo thorn u llttlo tnlk
about lining up faster, and whou thoy
wont buck, they showed that they woro
obeying Instructions. Thoy Just started
tho bull rolling, nnd ncvor lot up till thoy
pushed Packard over for tho second
touch down. Shedd kicked gonl as usual.
On tho kick oft which was for 35 yards,
Packard caught tho ball, and nldod by
somo good Intcrforonco, curried It bnck
15 ynrds. It wns a great piny nnd was
loudly cheered. Then Nobraska took tho
ball down to tho ton yard lino whero It
was lost on n fumblo. In attempting to
ndvnnco tho ball Bowlby was downed
by Benedict, and Bobbins camo up and
pushed him ovor tho lino thus scoring n
snfoty for somobody, but Nobraska got
tho two noln'u.
Tho bnll wns then brought out to tho
twenty-llvo yard lino. Donno punted and
kept Thorpo from ndvnnclng tho bnll.
After n llttlo preliminary scrlmmngo,
Thorpo bothought himself that tho tlmo
was getting short. So ho tried Benedict
around tho end. Tho grandstand couldn't
tell who was running with tho ball, tho
blocking wns so well done. There woro
a half a dozon or so, just racing down tho
fluid with llttlo Donno mon bumping up
against thorn ovory onco In awhile. At
Inst when all obstructions woro past Ben
edict wns seen to shoot out from his
blockers nnd streak for tho goal lino, lie
roached It nil right and sat thoro on tho
ball for a tlmo until tho others camo up.
Shedd kicked anothor goal. That ended
tho scoring, and tho half finished with
tho ball In Doano's territory.
FOOTBALL GOSSIP.
Klndler got a sprained arm at practlco
Wednesday night, which will keep him
off tho Held for a fow days.
Anyone who lins wnlchcd the boys

Conch Robinson Insists tlmt tho men

have tlmo to got breath enough to glvo

If Peiirso did not hnvo much of a
chance to play tho bnll Suturdny, ho
played a grand interference game all tho
way through.
Wesleyan and tho high school teams
played at M street park last Tuesday,
with a scoro of ten to nothing In favor
of tho Methodists.
Harry Kverott Is taking euro of tho
men by doing tho "massngu act" after
each practice. Ho will probably accom

Whllo on tho Mlchlgun trip, Manager
Oury hopes to play tho university of Il
linois. Wo can then seo how our team
can play In comparison with Missouri.
Harry Jones thinks ho will bo well
enough to piny In tho Missouri gnmo,
but tho coach snys no. Ills Injury is
not a serious ono, nnd Harry will bo out

Football Managor W. H. Oury will go

Thoy put up n stiff enough gnmo to koop

Sovornl times at practice, Thorpo has
shown what ho can do with running
with tho ball, whon ho Is played at half.
He showd tho second eleven men, how
to mako a touchdown, nftor tho ball was
caught from a punt, Tuesday night.
Tho fact that tho Omaha game with

NEW BOOKS IN THE LIBRARY
i
About Fifteen Hundred Volumes
Added.
GOOD USE MADE OFTHE MONEY.
L-
Aboul Klfleon HunilroU Volumes Added
During tho Hummer Books for All
Dupnrtmonts What tho Pro
lessors Purchased.
Thoro Is no bettor proof that our unl-
vorslty Ih growing than the steady de
velopment Of tho library. Around this
dopartmout nil tho others nro grouped
and, although It is supported by them,
thoy are dependent upon It for their
most effective work. It hns como to bo
n woll recognized priuolplo Hint every de
partment must have a y,oll developed
library of Its own. Thus It Is that eaoh
ono of our profcsHois tries every Juno
to obtain us largo a share as possible
of th library fund, nnd that each Is
ciiruful to buy only the best books, since
no ono apportionment. Is very large.
This year thoy hnvo boon pulto fortunate
for tho regents allottcij $t,D0O to tho fund
aside from tho matriculation fees which
always go to it. It is tho purposo of
this article to give soine Idea of tho new
books that have como An during tho sum-
i mor nnd full. "
Whon all the orders havo arrived, It
Is estimated that l,f00 volumes will havo
been udded to the library. This does not
Include about BOO mnguzlncs bound dur
ing tho summer. Just hero It might be
montloned thut thrco valuablo sots of
periodicals havo lately bc-n completed.
These nro, Tho Now Er.glnndor, Quarter
ly Rovlow, and the Amorlcnn Journal
of Science. All of theso contain valuablo
roforenco material, especially tho Inst
nuined, Our collection .of pcrlodlcnls is
larger, choicer and better bound than
any In tho stute.
Ono of tho most notablo books of tho
year, and ono of Interest to debaters,
la Mr. Lecky's Demoaracy nnd Liberty.
It deals with llvo' questions and will bo
invulunblo to students In history and
economics. Miss Tremalno Is rapidly ac
cumulating n largo number of Invnlun
bio sources on English history. This
summer thoro enmo for her twonty-foui
volumes of Pnrllnmontnry history, dat
ing from 10CC to 1CC0 and 100 volumes of
Parliamentary debates, dealing with tho
period from 1C60 to 1802.
Tho law department was not to be out
dono, nnd so purchased 1G4 volumes ot
tho Massachusetts reports. Professor
Davis has obtained a complete set of
forty-six volumes of tho Mathemntlseho
Annulen. Tho German department hns
added about ono hundred volumes, In
cluding a now edition of Gootho's works.
Astronomy has u new library of its own
now. so Its library has been enlarged
and mado departmental.
Professor Adnms Is negotlntlng for n
sot ot tho elegant edition of Robert Louis
Stovenson's complete works In slxteon
volumes Just Issued by Scrlbner's Sons.
This Is considered tho best piece ot book
making for tho prlco ($2.00 per volume)
that has been put out for somo time.
It Is a notublo fuct that tho only other
books ot English fiction purchnscd this
fall aro four volumes by John Quit, nn
tho works of Mr. Cnrloton montloned bo
low. This year tho university Is providing
all tho electricity for lighting tho cum
nus. and so thoro will bo plenty of light
In tho reading room even on dnrk days.
It Is uotlceablo that thero Is no spare
room for thoso studying in tho library
oven now. Ab soon as a now building Is
glvon us, tho partitions will probably bo
tnktm out botweon tho rending room nnd
tho room of Profesor Caldwell nnd tho
history somlnar, thus making room for
several moro tnblos. Moro departmental
libraries will also bo added from tlmo to
tlmo.
All tho professors hnvo bought somo
books for tholr dopnrtmonts, but only a
fow of thoso purchases can bo montloned
at this tlmo. Hero Is a partial list of
thoso of tho most gonoral lntorost.
