Season IS Squad.
By O.Loughlin.

Three sophers who worked on Northrop field
last wear made their first appearance OF 1900 at
the practice last night. Burgan came out TO
| try for the end. Weitzel and -Weist We're
about the gridiron in uniform, ana as soon as
they get into condition will make try for the
varsity team. H.
ST Thomas comes tomorrow, and If rumor
! proves correct there is to be the liveliest work
of the early season for the gophers. Inese
stories are to the effect that Ed Rogers me
men will average 200 pounds. and that ne mas
! a trick or two up his sleeve to cut loose on his
! former team mates. If this proves true, there
will be fun galore at Northrop field tomorrow
afternoon.
',rhe work of yesterday more spirited than
any of that of last week. The weather was
spirit into the men at the open scrtmmage.
The college team got its mad up at the var
sity lineup and offered stubborn resistance
The varsity just as determined that the
college should be shown that they were mot
SO many AS result the teams went into the
work with earnestness that, Tor the hrst
time of the year, brought cheers for the con-
testants from the students In the stands The
scfimmage was not long continued but what
was lacking in brevity was made up for In
dash and ginger.
! A Nebraska Visitor.
Manager J. X. Morrison of the Nebraska team
-, was in Minneapolis yesterday arranging the
final details Of the gopher -cornhusker conflict.
He Is full of confidence In the pupils Of Coach
Booth, and while not boasting, feels that Ne
braska will have stronger team than that
of last ye1r, and will score on both Michigan
and Minnesota. He looked the Minnesota
squad and. while expressing admiration for
the appearance Of the available men, could not
conceal the idea that he thought Nebraska was
Just as good-if not better.
The board of athletic control met last night
and awarded ms" to the members of the
Minnesota track team who distinguished them
selves In the dual and conference meets Of last
spring. Among those who gained the initials
were: Van Meter, the mile runner; Robertson,
for his work in the 220-yard dashes; Greaves,
the distance runner; Dougherty the Splinter;
Lamers the pole-yaulter; Ellison the distance
The board took up the details Of the big games
and decided that hereafter all ushers in the
stands must wear the cadet uniform and the
public will be asked to refrain from the use
of peanuts and tobacco in the stands. In past
years the festive peanut shell has lodged in the
millinery of the fair enthusiasts, and cigar
ashes covered everyone with dust until they
looked like the survivors Of the Martinique mat
inee. Those who are addicted to the plug ant
>fnecut mastication have been guilty in some
cases Of putting a polkadot effect upon the
backs of hght-colored gowns and overcoats. tt
avoid this state Of affairs the victims of thu
peanut and tobacco habit are to be requested
On the program, to leave all these bad habits
at home football days. The board decided
to print the request the program, but som,
doubter student of human nature suggested
that to enforce the rule 1T would be necessar,
to furnish a man with a healthy club with eacl
copy Of the program.
At tomorrow's game there will be no reser
walton of seats and the entire grandstand viii
be thrown open to the public at 25 cents. Tn
tickets are on sale at the usual places and
large m1dweek turnout is expected.
