Now to you the Ne hrnsknn wants to say somo pertinent and perhnps Impertinent things. You know the struggles our football manager always has to make the sea son close with financial success. When you were in the University you per hnps subscribed a dollar hero, and a dollar there, of "dad's" money. Now you are in a different position. You are perhnps earning n good living by the means which the University sup plied to you. This means was given gratis. Doesn't honor require that jou make some effort to repay your Alma Mater for what she has done for you' We ask you to make the foot ball manager's heart glad by a contri bution of some sort. The glory of the Old I'nl demands heroic efforts on your part which will make her lead in tlu race for the football penant. We htio the material this year and you should help supp'y the means. The organization of the Pershing Rifles a few years ago, was the direct result of the Inspiration caught from Lieutenant Pershing by its founders. Their intention, wns to establish a com pany which should attract the best ma terial in the battalllon, to tho end that the magnificent traditions of Lieuten ant Pershing's regime might not dis appear with his c'oparture. The com pnn lias always been rightly regarded as a tribute to his ability, and to his military ideals- It was his ardent wish, as that of the founders, that the Pershing Hfles should stand staunchly for the best life in battalion, and in un'-.c-slly. This purpose has shared In some ,n ensure the fate of all idtals. Yet its rndcrlying principle has found expression in n proper cur rmt of opinion, sweeping away the dnfiagf of potty politics. We have long since found .he plane of the stu dent InMi.mhn. Tho present, no loss than the past leads us to expect a decree of iu s ness and unsmooth m -s. in ih.'

Tho nnnounccr-ent of President Har per of tho l'r i vslty of Chicago that any foatl all ! r er using unfair tac tics wou.d be c 'lolled from college Is deserving of commendation. It is tho 'violation of the rules that makes tho gamo appear brutal. If a few more university presidents would tnko tho stand of Mr. Harper thoy would do much to nbollsh tho sentiment against tho sport and such preposterous anti football bills as sometimes appear be fore legislatures would never be heard of. The articles on "Modem College Kdu catlon," which nro being published In tho "Cosmopolitan," merit tho perusal of every one. College Ideas are such vnguc things, and nro so npt to lend to utter loss of purpose. These articles will provo n good tonic. Among those who have contributed nro: Professors Peck and Dwlght, and President Gll- mnn. There Is one thing that should bo done as soon ns tho Unlvorslty hns the funds at Its disposal. This Is to provide some sort of shelter for the two or three hundred bicycles which tho students and professors use dally In going to and from classes. At present the only shelter provided Is an Iron railing upon the edges of tho campus walks. The owner of a wheel may have tho satisfaction of sitting in a class room looking out of the win dow and seeing a sudden gust of wind tip two or three wheels off tho railing and pile them In a heap on top of his own, sits the rest of the hour and won ders how many spokes nro gone. Or ho will see two young ladles talking and one of them Is punctuating her remnrks by waking vicious jabs at tho tiro of his wheel with a hat pin and ho loses his place In the Latin and Is severely reprimanded by the prof. A wheel is a valuable piece of prop erty and should not be allowed to stand exposed all day to the often sud den changes In the weather. As It Is they are exposed to rain, snow, and dust, to say nothing of the possibility of their being stolon. There should be some way provided for the protec tion of wheels. A check room might bo established or a basement fitted up with racks and locks. The many wheelmen, as well as wheelwomen, would be more than gratified for a change from the present condition. The effort on the part of the different classes of the University to get up class teams, Is commendable. All that Is no" HUClIed Is more men. There are at least thirty men In every class who could get out and play good football if they only would. The fact that you have never played football before is no excuse. Come out anyway. No one knows what ho can do until ho tries. Four good class teams would very piobably develop some valuable "finds" for the Varsity team and would arouse some class spirit and enthusiasm. If each momber of every class would take some pride in his team and would feel It his duty to see that his class was well represented on the gridiron, then a good team would bo forthcoming and the spectators would not go out on the campus just for fun to see some "marks" try to play football, but they would bo there because they wanted to sec a good gamo. The Tarklo team is strong, puts up a fast game, and comes with a reputa tion for good football. This means that if Nebraska is to win, a full crowd of rooters must be out. Root from the grand stand, cheor on the boys and show your colors. Tho un sophisticated freshman who does not i know the meaning of tho torm "root" j will bo enlightened by any sophomore. Said soph enn easily explain In two hours. Anyway, root. this city. To those who have seen this commcdlnn before, tho question may naturally nrlso, "What Is Kendall doing with a minstrel show?" To all such It may bo said that ho docs not blacken his faco nor appear In tho first part, hut has a separate place on tho programmo nllotcd for his mono logue, which, by the wny, is sold to ho entirely original. Carroll Johnson Is to bo tho principal end man of tho first part. Johnson Is not a novice In this lino, having been a minstrel commcdlnn for a number of years. Ho has n number of new songs In his repertoire and his jokes, contrary to all tradition, nro of the vintage of '07. Another feature of tho performance Is to be nn exhibition of tambourine spinning by tho Freeze Hrothcrs, some thing of a novelty. Trovollo, a vontrlloqnlBt, hns some thing now In the way of walking au tomatons. Fnlkc & Soinon nro to con tribute a musical specialty In which they nro to endeavor to mix comedy with tho playing Instruments. Primrose & West's orchestra Is this season under the leadership of Robert Carmlchael, who Is said to bo one of the best minstrel conductors In the profession, and tho orchestral music 19 expected to bo one of the features of the engagement. As the company do not nrrlvc In this city until noon from Omaha by special train over the Rock Island, their street parade will bo given on arrival, starting from the depot. Next week, commencing Monday night, the Carlton &. Lord commedlans will begin n week's engagement at the Funke. The company Is spoken of everywhere as a very clover organiza tion and among Its members arc peo ple of well known dramatic ability, headed by the charming soubrette, Miss Jennie Calef, who appeared here a number of years ago In the opening play, "An American Princess." The New Orleans Picayune says: "Tho play is of tho characteristic western type, the leading part being taken by Miss Jennie Calef, who im personates a wild, rough diamond, of little education, but a true heart and an honest nature. As the American Princess O'Shaunassey, Miss Cnlef can not be excelled, and it is doubtful if she can be equalflfflr Lotta, or Annie Plxley, in their palmiest days, could not have pleased the people more than Miss Calef did her audience last night."
