COACH BOoTH MAKES STATEMENT
ANENT MINNESoTA'S DETERMI-
NATION TO PLAY ROGERS
SURE VARSITY WILL BE FAIR
Confident Indian Won't Be Allowed
TO Play Unless He Can Do So
HOnOrably and Legit-
imately.
ALL LINCOLN GOES DAFFY

LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. Especial. ,
Coach Booth, of the Nebraska football
team, seemed slightly surprised but not
greatly perturbed when shown -.Iinne-
sofas explicit declaration that Rogers
viii be permitted to play in Saturday $
game, despite Nebraska's protests. Ne
braskas objections have been made Of
ficiaay through Chairman Wyer, of the
athletic board, and Coach Booth felt OPP
posed to speaking on behalf of the board.
Mr.. Wyer was out of the city tonight
and could not be reached.
L believe it is safe to say" said
Mr.. Booth that we still have hopes Of
Rogers being ruled out of the game.
What we shall do in the event that all
efforts fail 1 cannot say. That rests
largely with the board, and not with
me- I believe Minnesota will be fair
and straightforward in its action. This
man will not be kept in the game unless
the Minnesotans feel certain they can do
so without violating the rules of true
craftsmanship Although Nebraska is
not one of the big nine to which the
'one-year residence of necessity ap-
plies. I feel confident Minnesota would
not attempt to play against US man
who would not be allowed to participate
against teams that are in the agreement.
This protest will be urged in person on
our arrival in Minneapolis.
I'VE have reasons to believe that Min
nesota w4m sustain our objections. 1
have been told that Harvard lost a man
from this same school, fellow named
Hudson, several years ago on the same
ground If this be true, surely Min
nesota will be no less fair than Har-
ward was
The Nebraska men went through the
last scrimmage tonight before the big
game, and it was far above expectations.
for some have showed signs of over
work during the week. There was no
evidence of such a condition tonight.
Koehlers Charley horse" had entirely
disappeared and he will be found a
knotty problem for Page at center. Ring
er's sprained leg is improving rapidly
and he will be able to go against Flynn.
G. Shedd has recovered from Saturdays
bruises and will be found at right half
during the first half of the game. Not
another man on the team has been in
jured this year and all are in the pink
of condition. All feel that loss is al
most an impossiUI44ty, for Nebraska Is
stronger this year tnan ever before and
Minnesota, from all reports, is not in
the condition she was last Thanksgiving.
The team leaves for Minneapolis to-
morrow afternoon at 1:45 over the North
Western on the regular train At 9
o'clock tomorrow evening the first spe-
cial for eXcursiOnists will leave the
North Western depot The next night
another special will leave at 6 o'clock, ar
irving in Minneapolis at I o'clock Satur-
day morning. 1t is estimated that not
less than 500 will attend the game from
Lincoln alone, a round-trip rate of 80
having been secured. The public schools
of the city have declared Friday holi-
day, and all the teachers and a portion
of the students will leave tomorrow
night. The public schools of st. Paul
and Minneapolis will be visited Friday
and the game attended Saturday.
