Southern Pacific and the allied lines alone

agreements and make alliances, so that
transportation may be done at the least
cost along the lines of least resistance.
By being able to inaugurate methods for
less cost we will eventually be. able to
conduct traffic at even a less charge than
at present. 81

Mr.. Hartman justified his holding of

husker foot BAH practice was inaugurated
at Antelope park this afternoon with Coach
king" Cole directing the initial work of
a squad of fifteen candidates. The prac-
tice was light and consisted of passing and
booting the ball. For a greater share of
the two hours that the men were on the

the ball when 1t was passed to them and in
making sure that they would be able to
handle It without dangerous fumbles on the
forward pass.

Bowers, Mckee, Ford and Dye. The last
three named men are freshmen and will not
be eligible for the varsity this fall. Mckee
and Ford are from the Lexington High
school and are expected to clinch places on
the first year eleven.
Sturzenegser, Bowers, Rathbone, Temple,
Wolcott and Chauner were not eligible last
season., but are regarded as strong men
this fall, and have begun work in an at
tempt to make a place on the regular Corn
husker eleven. Sturzenegger played half
on the second team last year, and attracted
much attention with his fast running and
his ability in getting down on the ball I'M
der punts. Bowers was in school two years
ago and played on the second team, doing
remarkable work. His appearance on the
field this afternoon Immediately attracted
the attention of King Cole. who was
well pleased with his preliminary work.
Bowers is looked upon as one of the strong

fall.

heard Of the fame of the Cornhuskers and
wanted to register for work this fall, so as
to be eligible for the gridiron games next

mer working in a mining camp. In his let
ter he said that he weighed 1875 pounds
