Tho showing of tho Juniors was somowhnt of a sur- prise, as It was confidently expected that me senior icnm wns easily tlie . stronger. But tho result of tho Junior's practice game with tho Westeynn sec ond cloven showed Itself In tho play ot the juniors nnd It cannot bo said that they had In nny way the worst of the contest. Hnyward and Fechet acted ns linesmen and their work was one of 'Jie features of tho game. This fact was mentioned by tho special re quest of tho above named gentlemen, who said they desired to see their names In print, nnd their wish hns been accordingly gratified. For the juniors Strock and Hoagland made large gnlns, and Hoy Sawyer dis tinguished himself by climbing Bill Green's frame just as ho was about to make n touchdown. For the seniors.

In the second half, in spite of sev eral costly fumbllngs, tho juniors by "stelTdy line bucking "carriea "the ball to the senior s ten-yard-line. Right here the juniors almost scored a safety, t The seniors got the ball, but Strock J alone has solicited from tho mer downed Bill Green behind the line chants of the city.

They kept - i this up till the juniors thought the fun had gone far enough, and thoy finally downed Bill. Hendy then made a brilliant cross-country run over the field toward his own goal, till the seniors called to him to stop. Bill Green broke through the line and made another of his long runs. He got loose from the crowd and was rap Idly making tracks for a touchdown when Hoy Sawyer took after him and finallv overhauled him ten yards from the junior's goal.

He promised that the spring field meet would be run much better in this respect or he would have nothing to do with It. The professor said that he abominated any unnecessary delay in an event of this kind, and he would have no field meet at all rather than have one where the spectators have to wait several hours for the events to come off. Financially the field meet just about paid expenses, an admission feo of 10 cents being charged in order to pay for the grading of the grounds.

All cadets, commis sioned and non-commissioned officers, will continue on duty with their pres ent companies as heretofore until Mon day, the 15th Inst., when the battalion wui ne sizeu, mviueu mio companies, and the new assignments announced. By older commandant of cadets. While it was known for some time that the commandant had In contem plation the formation of t fifth com- pany, the announcement that there would be two new companies, coupled with the fact that two battalions would be formed, created general surprise, It is no longer proper to speak of the body of cadets as the battalion, but It is now the University of Nebraska regiment, on account of which Charlie Weeks and Bob White will be allowed to sport around with two silver leaves on their shoulder straps. There will be no lieutenant colonel, and the com- mandant will act as colonel in com- mand of the regiment. There will be three adjutants, Regimental Adjutant Plnkerton and Battalion Adjutants Hitchman and Lyons. However, It is devoutly hoped that It will not be nee- essary also to have a band for each battalion as well as one for the regl- ment. At any rate. It is safe to say for the present that such a catastrophe will not occur. While on tne subject of the band, It might be well to say that Drum Major Kring recently stated that the band was in better shape this year than In any previous year at this time of the season. This fact has been published, as It was feared that many of the great student body were not aware of the Importance of this an nouncement, coming as it does from Drum Major Kring. In regard to the formation of n regl- ment, there Is a division of opinion anion ho oftileis That manv of them xunong the cadets. That many of them must be In favor of the movement is shown by the long list of promotions ". occasioned thereby. But It Is the last part of tho order which will cause some personal feeling. That Is, In regard to sizing up the cadets anew. The cadets will be arranged according to height, the tallest in company A, tho smallest in company F, and the others grading accordingly. Of course none of the old companies will retain their Individual ity, and those who have become at tached to one company must now transfer their attachments. Even the officers, from corporals to lieutenants, will be assigned to their companies according to size, and that is where most of the -discontent and personal feeling is caused. For the prccent, therefore, company spirit is yery high, but it can be de pended upon to show Itself long before the time for the annual competitive drill rolls around. On the whole it is thought that if the supply of men holds out till tho end of the year, the estab lishment of a regiment will prove a good advertisement for the University. Besides the promotions already made, there Is, or will bo very soon, a vacant captaincy to bo ftlleu, caused by Phil Husdcll's resignation, which Is now In the hands of tho command ant. Phil hns always boon with Com pany 13, which connection ho would bo forced to Bover by tho now order of things. As he intended to leave at tho end of this semester, ho thought ho could not do Justice to a now com pany, nnd for Unit renson resigned. PROF SWHZEY TALKS.

Tho University of Chicago Invited astronomers from all over tho world to bo present nt the dedication. There was a large repre- scntatlon present from the United Stntes. but only one astronomer from Europe. The observatory is 300 feet long, nnd the dome Is ninety feet in diameter. The telescope Is sixty feet in length, nnd the lens Is four Inches larger than mo K1Cat Lick telescope on Mount Hamilton. Tho dome, weighing 100 tons, rotates on a track. The floor can be moved up or down, so ns to enable the observer to look through tin- tclcFcopc at any angle. The whole affair Ik nimilniilntoil hv olortrlt-ltv I One unique feature of the observa- ', tory Is that there are machine shops right in the building for the purpose of manufacturing any special kind of np- paratus which may be needed Along the line of astro-physics the observatory Is well equipped, but the old line astronomy hns been neglected. There are no means of determining the latitude or longitude accurately, and even b"re In this University wo are Uettev equipped, in that line. Pho tography Is being paid a great deal of attention In the new observatory. It haB an advantage over the naked eye In that a plate exposed In the tele- scope for several hours will show neb- ulae which could never ueen seen witn the naked eye. One thing which Is lacking and which Is causing the Chicago Univer sity authorities considerable anxiety Is the endowment fund. No provision has yet been made for keeping up this magnificent observatory, Professor Swezey expressed himself as very much pleased with the recep- tion that the visiting astronomers were accorded, and he was especially taken with the banquet given them, which, he said, was a swell affair. WESLEYAN 4, JUNIORS ?.. The junior class team and the Wes- leyan second eleven played a hot game on the campus Thursday afternoon, resulting In a victory for Wesleyan by the close score of 4 to 2. This Is a remarkably good showing for the juniors, who only one week ago were defeated 22 to 0 by the same team, The juniors scored a safety In the first half, but In the second, just about a minute before time was called, the juniors fumbled the ball, It rolled be- hind the goal line and a wesieyan player fell on It. Wesleyan failed to kick goal. Score, Wesleyan 4, juniors 2. The line-up: Juniors. Wesleyan.

There will be four yelling squads, each under the com mand of one of the company captains. It 1b hoped that there will be about twice as many rooters present as there were as the Missouri game. If Ne braska ever needed encouragement it will need it on the foot ball field with Kansas to-morrow. Every man who does not take a lady to tho game is earnestly requested to get into one of the rooting squads, buy a speaking trumpet, tin horn or .cow bell, or In some other way let his presence be known. No one will be arrested for disturbing tho peace and those who do not yell, if there are any such, may run the risk of being summoned be fore the faculty for lack of patriotism to the University. A meeting of the squad leaders was held to-day at Ros coe Pound's office to perfect arrange ments for a choice article of scientific rooting. JAYHAWKERS TOMORROW Kansas will Battle with Nebraska for Gridiron Honors. TEAMS ARE IN GOOD CONDITION Tho Varsity Boys Novor in Bettor Trlm-Prac. tlco Hard During Past Two Weeks Tho Llno'Up. Tho greatest gamo of tho season and tho ono which will practically decldo which team wins the pennant will bo played on tho campus to-morrow aftor noon between KnnBas and Nebraska. Tho gamo will bo called sharply at 3 o'clock, so that there will bo no dan ger of tho gamo being cnllod on ac count of darkness, ns tho long thlrty-flve-mlnuto halves mnko tho gnmo of nbout two hours duration altogether. Those who aro Intending to bo pres ent at this game will do well to come early. At tho Missouri game tho bleachers were almost filled, and with good weather to-morrow the crowd will bo nlmost doubled. Never before hns anything llko such Interest been shown as In this game. Not only Is this true among the students, but even among tho business men of Lincoln. Mnny who never saw a foot ball gamo before are preparing to turn out to morrow to see the grentcst game over played in the west. Around the Uni versity It Is the sole topic of conversa tion, and Saturday's game Is looked forward to with pleasure and hope, mingled with fear. If hard prac Icing can win a game Coach Robinson Is determined that it shall win this one. The la'nt week'B practice has been the hardest ever ex perienced by the Varsity team. Every body Is playing hard and the first team men have a half a doen. candidates hustling them for their position. "Dea con" Klndler has made his appearance at practice during the past week and has been playing one of the halves. He plays hard and swift and will prob ably be given a chance to go Into tho Kansas game. All that he now lackB Is a perfecC knowledge of the signals. Melford has not made his appearance slnco the Missouri game, and so it be came necessary for Oury to get out on the field again. If Melford does not show up Oury will undoubtedly play center. This is a new position for him, but he fills It well and the team will be none the loser by the change. Besides the regulnr afternoon prac tice, the boys have practiced signals In the armory after sunper every night this week. This was found to be nec essary in order to keep straight In the minds of the players the exceedingly large number of plays which are used. It was by using a great variety of plays that we beat Tarklo. The same thing contributed largely to Missouri's down fall, and if we beat Kansas it will be by using the same tactics as pursued In the other games. But Kansas has no Idea of being beaten. Judging by their talk, the very Idea that Nebraska would win or even score or had the slightest show at all to gain five yards does not seem to have entered the heads of tho Kansas players. The Kansas coach, Wyllc G. Wood ruff, has published in the papers a signed statement, guaranteed to be true, that Kansas has the only team ever seen In the west; that Kansas could to-day tie Pennsylvania and de feat Yale; that there never was or will be a team like Kansas, and In cidentally he mentions the fact that he, as coach, Is responsible for this wonderful turn of affairs. If all this Is true, and It may be, while we are not from Missouri, Kansas has got to show us. In endeavoring to duplicate their long end runs made In the Iowa game, the Kansas men are liable to strike as snag In the shape of Wiggins and Stringer. While Kansas 1b engag. I '"'. ,n . '?r bluster, about the meriU merits of her team, Nebraska Is quietly en gaged In playing foot ball, and is In fit condition to play the game of her life. Kansas may come out on top, but we will still refuse to believe that she has the most wonderful team on earth. And then, again, awful to con template, Kansas may be beaten. The line-up: Nebraska.
