NEBRASKA is CONFIDENT
Cornhuskers Are Sure They Will De-
feat the Illini.

Cornhuskers Are Sure They Will De-
feat the Illini.
New York Sun Special Service.
Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 24.-The Ne
braska cornhuskers have put the fin
ishing touches on their preparations
for the Thanksgiving Day contest on
the gridiron against Illinois, so far as
lscrimmage practice is concerned.
Coach Booth decided yesterday that it
was taking needless chances of in
juring his men,, and hereafter only
signal practice will be permitted,
Before dismissing the scrubs Booth
lined them up and in a short speech
thanked them for their aid. He as
sured the Scrubs that they had con-
tributed as much toward the success
eof the varsity as had the latter, and
he concluded by urging every member
of the scrub squad to come out for
practice next year and work their best
to make the first team. Then the
varsity cheered the scrubs and the
scrubs. cheered the varsity, both
squads joining in when cheers were
suggested for Bootk and his two assist
ANTS, Westover and Drain.
Booth is fairly sanguine that his
pupils will take the measure of the
Illini Thursday, altho he expects that
it will require fierce effort on Ne
braska's part. The odds are 2 to 1
in Nebraska's favor, with little money
in sight.

after o'clock before the last strag-
gler reported.
The rain and sleet storm which was
raging was used as an excuse by the
men for their dilatoriness. A substi-
tute backdeld Of Weeks, Wolf and
Bigelow was put behind the varsity,
and but little headway was made
against the scrubs. Wolf. the ex-Hyde
Park player, was thrown violently by
a tackler, and his right arm dislocated
at the elbow. The injury will put him
out of commission.
Trainer Fitzpatrick announced last
night that the men in their play yes
terday afternoon evidenced the first
symptoms Of ennui, and unless an op-
portunity for a, good, hard scrimmage
presents itself before embarking for
Chicago Wednesday morning some Of
the men may enter the game stale.
Despite the listlessness Yost would not
permit Heston, Graver, Longman and
Hammond to take part In the scrim-
mage.
''The ground is too hard and treach-
erous to risk yourselves on when so
much Is at stake next Thursday" said
the coach.

The Minnesota football team this aft
ernoon took its last hard practice be-
fore the Wisconsin game. Tonight the
first and second teams leave over the
Milwaukee road at 8 o'clock for Mill
waukee, where they will remain until
Thursday morning.
DR.. Williams yesterday afternoon
took his men out on the snoW-covered
campus for practice. The first and
second teams We're sent thru signals at
a rapid rate for nearly an hour, after
which the men took a. run up and
down the field. In the last week the
men have practiced on the frozen grid
iron Of Northrop field, on the same
gridiron covered with a layer Of hay,
and on the campus. They are now
ready for any kind of field they may
encounter at Madison.
The party which leaves tonight will
include DR.. Williams. Manager
lowing players: Captain Rogers,
Webster, Warren, Strathern, Thorpe.
Schacht, Burdick, Harris. Davies, Irs-
field, Current, O'Brien, Marshall, Tuck,
Pattee, Kicker, Rand, Bill" Smith,

Assistant Manager Deering will go
directly to Madison to make final ar

ness end Of the game. The third team
men will leave for Madison tomorrow
night. The first and second teams will
remain in Milwaukee until Thursday,
and their special car upon reaching
Madison, will be run directly to the
grounds. The trouble of two years
before the game started, will be OBJ
waited, because the men will step di-
rectly upon the field from their car
when the time for the game arrives.
Small Crowd of Rooters.
The crowd which leaves tomorrow
night for Madison will not be as large
as was expected. About 500 tickets
had been sold yesterday afternoon, in
Guiding bunch of $50 taken for the
train de luxe. It is probable that
about 500 rooters will go from the
twin cities. Many football followers
fear the cold weather, as Madison is
| a notoriously chilly spot in more ways
| than one. Paucity Of restaurant and
hotel accommodations at Madison also
will keep many at home.
The regular rooters' excursion will
leave Minneapolis at 9 p. m. to-mor-
row, and st. Paul at 9:35, arriving at
| Madison at a. m. Returning the
train will leave Madison at p. m.
Thursday night, arriving in the twin
cities early Friday morning. The trip
to Madison will be made over. the
NORTHWESTERN, and the return journey
over the Milwaukee. An ample num-
Der of sleepers will be provided. The
rate is $6 for the round trip.
Betting is rather light here, as most
of the rooters believe the game Is a
cinch for Minnesota. From 8 to 2 tc

Chicago, Nov. 24.-The maroon
football team in the coming Michi-
fan game is to follow the lead of
Quarterback Eckersall without calling
"change signals" after he. has given
letters and numb bers for plays. At
West Point, DR.. Stauffer, the referee,
and eastern authorities criticized the
team for changing EckersalIs signals.
Coach Stagg has instructed the men
on the team to let the quarter give
the signals without interference. and
has informed Eckersall that the work
Of running the team is up to the
quarterback.
"Eckersall has practically a varsity
season now, and altho he is a fresh
man, we can have confidence in him
to give the right signals against
Michigan" said Captain Ellsworth,
1904, last evening. Because of his
experience at Hyde Park, where a
team could make end runs against the
high schools, 'Eck's' temptation all
the year has been to run the team
without giving enough varsity plays

Roosevelt and the South.
TSt Paul p;onear presS1

The Atlantic Constitution replies to
the recent letter of President Roosevelt
in spirit very much akin to that In
which the letter was written. 1t says.
THE South would infinitely prefer to
feel that the President sympathizes
with it's better sentiment than to be
forced TO dwell on the thought that its
people are living under an administra-
ton hostile to all that to which the
people OF this section cling most ten
aciously In defence of their underlying
civilizations" declares that prominent
southerners, like Mr.. Edwards and
Thomas Nelson Page. have said more
for Mr. Roosevelt than he has said fol
himself: and, in view of "the evident
display of conservatism and friendly
feeling in Mr.. Roosevelts utterances,'
bespeaks from the southern people
"at lease suspension of criticism, with
a view of rendering final judgment upon
the subsequent events Of his admins
'tration." Manliness such as Roosevelt
exhibited in that letter always wins.

SCARLET FEVER CURE
Or. Louis Fischer, of New York, An
nounces Important Discovery in
Treatment of the Disease.

New York, March 7.-Dr. Louis
Fischer, of the Willard Parker and,
Riverside hospitals, has just completed
n clinical report of the results obtained
in treating scarlet feve. with the anti
strsptococcus. Fischer describes how
he came to use the serum and how it
effected twa children.
The first case was IA child four and o
half years old, whose case was dag
nosed as one of scarlet fever. Owing to
the weakened state of the child sepsis
was feared. The doctor injected twenty
G. C. of Aronson's anti-Streptoccus Sc
rum on Feb. is. The child's condition
improved gradually and continuously.
In the second case. girl eight years
old had been i'll three days with tenn
perature of 104 on Feb. 10 and 1o4 1-5
on Feb. 20. Her pulse was weak ana
rapid. There was a loss Of appetite and
q general apathetic condition. Owing
to the severe general infection DIR.
Fischer again decided to give the IN
lection of anti-streptococcus serum OF
the same strength as in previous case.
On Feb. 23, when he saw the patient
again, he noted the entire disappear
ance of necrotic patris in the throat
and the conditions were Identical with
those of the first case.
DR. Fischer warns practitioners that
great care should be exercised in Judg-
ing this new serum from a small tho
successful series of cases.
