WEEK ON THE GRIDIRON
M'ii Working linn) Two Tciiiiih Kormrd
for Scrub Oiiiiich Kxrltlng
I'nirllri' Nightly.
Another week of hard practice has
passed and good results are very ap
parent. Signal practice began over a
week ago and about the middle of the
week two teams were picked out and
a short game played. From nQv on
there will be games every evening for
a few minutes before the close of prac
tice. These games are exciting and full
of interest although necessarily some
what one-sided and will become more
so as the selection of the first team
progresses.
The number of men who have turned
out during the past week has been
most flattering when compared with
previous seasons. However, there is
room for all the good heavy men in
the University. Coach Booth, when
talking the other day, spoke of the
number of large strong freshmen who
had not shown any desire to play.
Everyone of them is needed on the
field. He may not be able to make the
first team this year, but there are
other years to come.
Two unfortunate accidents occurred
last week. Bullard, quarter on tho
second team, had his right jaw brok
en just below the temple. He was able
to be out the next day and can carry
his school work, although not being
able to play anymore this season. Niel
son sprained his ankle last Wednes
day evening and will not be able to
practice for a few days. He plays a
good, hard game at half.
The team work shows up very cred
itable considering the length of time I
-rnsscdjriiinraErice IimblostkieTnbtjj
as numerous as might be expected and
they will decrease in number as prac
tice proceeds and the players become
accustomed to each others' peculiari
ties. A strong point in team work is
for every man to aid the weaknesses
of his fellow players and to accept
help from others strong in a point in
which he knows he is weak.
The Interference is close, but can
be improved in speed by practice
which comes later on. The game with
the high school Saturday will show
the effectiveness of the offensive and
defensive work and where the weak
points are and no doubt more speed
and snap will be worked into the
plays.
SX Coach Booth has shown himself to
ybe a master of the football art and
7f especially In good strong team work
J and securing the good will of the
v men. He knows about what every
nan Is able to do and is careful in
handling the men. Water, a sponge
and some oatmeal gruel are on the
field every evening and care Is tak
en in the bathB and rub-down after
practice. The men will soon be
trained down to good form.
Rov. Mr. Manss has continued to
help in the coachir.s during the last
week and will during tho rest of the
season. Ho 13 an exponent of good
clean football and a hard worker,
watching every play and quickly de
r tectinr any defect there may be.
u. ii. wimamb, capiam iasi year,
has bepn or the field during the past
week aiding in tin coaching and espe
cial'. v in working up the second team
eo it will be able to work the first team
a little harder.
Manager Tukfc 'Has been doing some
hustling during the last week and is
getting the grounds in better shape. A
fence of two wires has been put up six
feet from the side line and this
should koep the crowds from the field
during practice. Tukey has also had
the grass burnt from the field and the
line marked out Ho has been coach
lug the f.econd train and will soon
l.uv a team able to beat any smaller
college team in the J-late and even
make the first team play a hard game
to 1'cld Its own.
An to the line-up of the first team,
it is Impossible to tell yet Coach
Kooth Is able to give out nothing and
as, far as that is concerned no man is
sure of hia ptoce it r. the season un
less he does good, hard work.

The adopting of the budget has been
no easy task for the committee be
cause as usual an attempt has been
made to keep expenses just as low as
possible.
The budget is somewhat larger than
one year ago, but this is what might
be expected because of the increasing
work and the growing demands.
The resources of the expense is dis
tributed so that it is not burdensome
on any one person, but if the financial
record is maintained this year it will
be necessary that all friends increase
their gifts as much as possible.
The record of the association's
finances is a credit to the University
as well as itself. It has never closed
a year In debt. Do what you can and
that will li Uhe record this year.

The Lincoln high school football
team and the University team played
the first game of the season on the
campus last Saturday afternoon. The
University team won by a score of 1G
to 0.
A large and enthusiastic crowd
greeted the University players as they
entered the field at 3 o'clock. The
high school had been on the field for
several minutes practicing signals.
The team is an exceptionally heavy
and strong one for a high school, but
it had too much to handle in the Uni
versity team, even though a part of
the second team played. Most of the
playing was done in the high school's
territory.
The lack of skill which can only be
acquired by hard playing was shown
by both teams and especially by the
University team. However, it must
be remembered that the team has
practiced signals and plays for less
than a week. Chancellor Andrews,
who watched the game from the side
lines, remarked on the grit and de
termination shown by both teams.
The high school won the toss and
kicked off at 3:15. Eager caught the
ball and gained back fifteen yards,
placing the ball on the thirty-yard
line. Raymond punted thirty yards
and; the University secured the ball
on a. fumble. Raymond made repeat
ed gains through the line and Eager
went around the end for a gain. This
placed the ball within two yards of
the goal. The high school tried hard
.to Jiold, but on third ihawaJRayjaond.,
wenurover ior a'loucnuowu in six min
utes' after the kick-off. He missed the
goal.
The high school kicked off again to
Eager who gained back twenty-five
yards. Raymond made a good punt
and high school secured the ball, but
lost it on second down on a fumble.
By repeated line bucks, Raymond was
pushed over for another touchdown,
but missed goal. The half was almost
over and no further scoring was done.
During the second half the high
school played a harder game and held
the University down to one touchdown
made by Montgomery, who had taken
Eager's place. He made a good run
with excellent interference around left
end for thirty yards. Raymond
kicked goal.
The high school kicked off and the
University punted, giving the ball to
high school. They tried the quarter
kick to half, hut made only seven
yards. The high school made small
gains and soon lost the ball on a
fumble. Cortelyou blocked a run
around his end with a loss of seven
yards. He also secured the ball on a
fumble a few minutes before the close
of the game, causing the high school
to lose seven yards. During the first
half. Drain also made a beautiful drop
upon the ball. Time was called at the
end of the second half with the ball
in the centre of the field.

Tukey With Hayward Secure It
Game Saturday Doane Cancels
Date.
During past years the managers
have tried to secure an alumni game

but failure always followed because
of the difficulty of getting the alumni
together. Manager Tukey had better
success this, year and a game has been
arranged for Saturday, October C,

Doane college should have played
on that date, but broke her contract
and would have left the Nebraska
team In the lurch had not the alumni
taken the date. Doane has been very
unfortunate with her team this year,
but she should not make dates un
less she can keep them.
The alumni team will be composed
of some of the oldest, best and most
experienced players the University
team ever turned out Six of them
played on the famous team of '97.
That year the University won every
game it played. Several of the players
were selected by the best judges for
th western college team.
The following will be the line-up,
suDject to possible changes:
Melford, centre; Hopewell, Wilson
and Hansen will be out for the guards;
Pearse and Hayward, tackles; Wig
gins, Cameron and Thorpe are candi
dates for ends; Spooner, quarter:
Shedd, Packard, Cameron and Gerard
will change off for the backs.
