However, It became pretty well known that the promotions would bo read off tonight, consequently every cadet -was present and the gallery was well filled. There was a hush and a look, or per haps, feeling, of surprise when S. W. Pinkerton, the newly appointed cadet adjutant and first sergeant, stepped forth and read the following: Orders No. 4.

By order Lieutenant A. B. Jackson, First Lieutenant Tenth cav alry, commandant; S. W. Pinkerton, cadet first lieutenant and adjutant. Tho sounding of the bugle at G PROGRESS ON THE GRIDIRON Coach Robinson has Returned and Assumed Charge. MATERIAL SEEMS PLENTIFUL o'clock on laBt Wednesday afternoon announced to the cadets that another year of drill had begun. At that hour several hundred old and new cadetB filled the armory, anxious to begin drill again. Among that number were many anxious ones who were trying to figure out just where they would be "at" when tho promotions for the year wore published. Everywhere around the armory was heard tho queBtlon,"Well, what promotion are you going to got this year?" Of course everybody knew that no one could possibly toll exactly what pro motion he would receive, but there waB a sort of fiendish delight In ask ing tills aggravating question similar to that experienced when one asks, "Is it hot enough for you?" The fact that this was the first day of drill served to fill the gallery with fair co-odB who, from this point of vantage, were preparing to notice the expression of surprise or disappoint ment as it would be depicted on the countenances of the various cadets when the promotions were read off. When Charlie Weeks', who was acting-as adjutant, called "Attention to orders," everybody was still and the prospective cadet officers listened In tently to hear their names read off. But all were destined to disappoint ment. The promotions were not pub lished and It is not known exactly i when they will be, but very probob'y along the first of next week. " ("Continued on Fourth Page.) The New Men are Oetllnjc Down to Work ln (lood Shape Oacno to be Played with Ames Ntxt Week. Foot ball prnctlco Is being carried on in dead earnest now with Coach Robinson back, tho men putting forth their best efforts to show what they aro made of. When a new man tackles and gets his man ho always hangs on until ho sees tho eye of the coach is on him nnd then lets go, the same way with the ball. The old men smile at this, but they can't blame 'em. Three men aro hustling for quarter back, Hart of York, Cowglll, and Tu key of Omaha. Hart Is strong and quick and a good runner and will give a good pull for the place. Tukey is also quick and fast and will work to the finish. Ccwglll Ic more stocky than the other two and has the ad vantage of a year's work with the team. Loofborough and Leonard are two good men who aro hustling for ends. Loofborough played on Kansas Wesleyan three years ago and Is a husky man. Leonard played on Wes leyan last year and had not Intended to play this year at all, but when he saw the rest of the fellows at it, 'twas too much for him. and he had to come out. and will now do his best to get on the team. Stringer of Beatrice is putting up a strong game at tackle, and Swartz of the same team is trying haid for half. The old men seem to be the ones that cct hurt in this deal. Pearse got a hard jolt in the head Tuesday while tackling and got his face skinned at the same time, while Bill Hayward got the wind knocked out of him and had to retire, but he seemed greatly refreshed by the time he got to the edge of the field. Hopes are entertained of getting Harry Jones back to play half, and alBO Melford for center, though a burlv six-footer, while new to the game now, will, when he "gets on," make some of those centers around the country know that they're playing foot ball. "Robby" is not inclined to work the men too hard this weather, as they feel the heat a great deal in the can vas sultB, but as the game with Ames comes the 8th, next Friday, some hard training will have to be done next week. FOOT BALL NOTES. The boys wondered if that gradlng machine on the campus was for work on Turner's face. Bill Hayward says he fell sixteen times on the same rock when he was tackling the other day. Tough on the rock! Porter is going to get out soon. Look out for wonders. Halstead of Indiana is playing hard for full back The football men are Bomewhat handicapped by the poor condition ot the gridiron, and many complaints are heard from them. When they wish to COLLEGE SETTLEMENT WORK. Tho first mass meeting ot tho atudonts this year was held in tho chapel Tuesday morning. It wob hold nt tho suggestion of tho collcgo settle ment committee, and primarily for tho purpose of giving tho now Btudents some Idea of tho work dono nt tho set tlement. As Is the caso at nearly all of tho mass meetings, tho chapel was crowded, and the meeting seemed to bo a successful one ln ovcry way Professor Hodgman, by virtue of his position on last year's committee, called tho meeting to order, nnd, by the usual formnllty, J. F. Boomer was selected as chairman. Miss Whiting first read a paper ln which a short history of the organiza tion and development of the settle ment was given. She pointed out with great clearness tho need of such a work as the settlement Is doing, and also showed how Incumbent It was upon the students to support tho work. The fact was pointed out that mission and settlement work havo been under taken by all the leading educational institutions, and with sreat success, too. Professor Fossler, in his usual witty manner, made a statement of the financial standing of the work. At tho time the professor was elected treasurer of the settlement committee about twelve dollars were ln the treas ury, and his books now show a bal ance of four dollars to the credit of the settlement Improvements have been made during the year and have all been paid for while the regular work has been sustained. In all about $140 have been expended during the last year. To carry on the work suc cessfully this year Professor Fossler thought that at least $175 ought to be raised. Chairman Boomer announced that Professors Sweezy, Fossler, and Hodg man had been selected to represent the faculty on the committee for the present year and that it was in order for the students to select four of their number to serve on the committee. Messrs. Kuhlman and Hawxby and Misses Whiting and Dinsmore were selected to act in such capacity. While no money was raised for the prosecutlor of the work, the meeting not having been called for such a pur pose, it is believed that enough sym pathy was aroused among the students bo that they will contribute liberally toward this University enterprise, which has thus far been carried on so auspiciously. ELECTED THEIR OFFICERS The Athletic Association Met Last Saturday. ANDRESON MADE PRESIDENT fall on Bomethlng soft they try the brick pavement. it The season tickets are not going as fast as they ought. Manager Oury Is Btandlng responsible himself for the bills for shoes and suits, and the student body should back him up by buying the tickets. Five games for ?1.D0. What Coach RobinBon Bays of the prospects ln Eastern colleges: "Big men, and lots of them, are turning out at Harvard, but they loose lots of time in idle foolishness. For instance, the coach will say, 'Now, Chawley, suppoBe you take the ball and go round the end and 'Arthur, don't you think it would be a good thing for you to go through the center this time?' etc." "Robby" Bays the're a lot of "Willy-toys." While at Yale the coach says "Go in there!" "Fall on the ball," etc. ANOTHER MINSTREL SHOW. Everyone who didn't see the min strel show for the base ball team last year haB heard of it, and anyone who did see it can never forget it, and for this reason, and many others, the an nouncement of another show of the kind will be greeted with enthusiasm. It has been the intention of the man agement to do away entirely with the subscription scheme for raising money and carrying on the season without the aid of any gift. In order to do thiB the plan of selling season tickets was Inaugurated and in order to raise money in another way by giving another performance in the chapel. The minstrel show given last Bpring was. as everyone knowB, the most successful public performance ever given by students in the Univer sity. It received more unstinted praise than anything ln the record of college annals. Helped by the per- Other Olflceis and Hoard Elected There Is Some Talk ol Protesting Because of III Kallty. The Athletic association met last Saturday morning and elected officers. By the amount of buttonholing of old as well as now students and the report that spread a day or two before tho election, It was thought that a big election would ensue. Tho meeting was called to order by Vice President A. E. Pope. On motion tho election of ofilcers for the ensuing year was taken up. It was decided, by a motion of Mr. Pace, that the election be con ducted by a rising vote, instead of the ballot box. The nominations for president were W. E. Andreson and George Shedd. Andreson receiving a largo majority. Mr. Andreson, on taking the chair, said that he would show his appreciation of the honor shown him and do all in his pqwer to promote the interests of ath letics ln all its different departments. Mr. Andreson is one of the record breakers of the University, both last year and the year before. Holding at present three University records, that of running high jump at 5 feet 4si inches, running broad jump, 19 feet 4 Inches, and pole vault at 6 feet 3'2 inches. Without a doubt Mr. Andre son will make a good record as presi dent of the association, as he is as per sistent in all his work as he is on the athletic field. O. T. Reedy was elected vice presi dent atid ;" Pope was made secre tary. As treasurer E. R. Morrison will look after the coin in the right way. The following four students were elected on the board: J. G. Fechet, G. N. Porter, Harry Landis, and E. B. Perry. The two members of the faculty to fill the vacancies in last year's board were filled by Professor Barber and Professor Caldwell. All were elected except the president without any opposing candidate. The matter of purchasing a secre tary's book was brought up and al lowed, and from now on until the close of the college year the book will be left in the executive office so it will "be in reach of the association. There seems to be much dissatisfac tion prevalent as to the manner of electing the candidates. A "rising vote" is strictly against the constitu tion, and the malcontents have taken this up and promise to overturn things generally next Saturday. They seem to have a large following and startling results may be expected. FRESHMAN - SOPHOMORE FIELD DAY-. A meeting of the Sophomores was held in room 2 on last Tuesday to ar range for a field day contest with the Freshmen. A committee was ap pointed, composed of Messrs. Gordon, Ryons, and Benedict, to confer with a like committee from the Freshmen class, and also Dr. Hastings, to make the necessary arrangements to insure a good contest. W. Andreson was formance last year, the minstrel thiB elected captain of the track team and year will far eclipse anything at tempted in that line ever given. The date for the performance will doubt less be October 23d, and every student ln the University ought to be there. Detalle of the performance will be an nounced later and in the meantime hard work will he done along several lines. You won't need to remember the date when he week comes around you won't be able to forgpt JL M. Liebmau was elected manager of the meet. The chapel exercises were dispensed with during a part of last weelc on ac count of the Irrigation Congress, whioh held its sessions in that room. Joel Stebblsi naB been chosen by Profc&Bor Hastings as an assistant In the physical department and will have at least two classes a day. It is thought that Stebbins will make a good leader, as he is proficient ln the work of the gymnasium and much liked on account of bis pleasant rnan nei. Professor Hasting, by his assist ants in his department, will be able to do the work he desires to do in helping in special work of training the different teamB out of doors.
