bucking, considerable punting and
large amount of signal practice composed
the final work of the Nebraska varsity
football team on the campus last night.
At the last the men displayed excellent
form and the work was snappy through
out. This morning was devoted to signal
practice.
G. Shedd will play in the back field and
Ringer will be at his old position as left
guard. Both these men have recently
sustained severe and painful injuries,
from which they have not yet fully re-

siderable trouble with his knee.
Two excursion trains will carry the
rooters to Minneapolis, and each will con-
sist of several sections. The Rock Island
train will arrive in Minneapolis at 10
o'clock Saturday morning, while the
North Western special will get in three
hours earlier.
The prospect of getting Koehler. Ben
der and G. Shedd into the game has
aroused unbounded enthusiasm among
the Nebraska football cranks, and they
will arrive in Minneapolis confident of
scoring on the gophers and extremely
Hopeful of winning the game.

Wore Gopher COIOrs.
Pandemonium broke loose at the Ne
braska university yesterday when FIVE
freshmen appeared on the campus wearing
the colors Of Minnesota. A large crowd
speedily collected, and, warned by the ON
inous faces of the students, four of the
freshmen sought the seclusion of the
library basement. William Sizer, how
ever, boldly marched to his classroom and
took seat near window In plain view Of
the campus. Fifteen minutes later, there
was a rap at the door and Mr.. Sizer was
requested to step outside. He did so
and found himself among two hundred an
CRY students. Sizer tried to explain that
he was being initiated into the Sigma
Alpha Epsilon fraternity and the colors
were pinned upon his coat in order to test
his nerve but the crowd didn't wait. The
ribbons were torn off and he was hustled
out to the campus.
In a few minutes he was severely
bruised and his clothing reduced to shreds
and tatters. The buttons were removed
from his remaining garments, his suspen-
ders were cut into small bits and he was
compelled to mount the large stone in the
center of the campus and thrice emit the
cry, "To hi with Minnesota"
1t was reported this evening that the
university authorities would discipline the
leaders in the movement. Steers four
companions escaped.
