NEBRASKA PICKED TO WIN
Betting Ten to Seven in Favor Of the
Cornhusker Squad.
ONLY ONE CRIPPLE IN THE BUNCH
Minnesota VIII Have n Stronger
Team, However, Than went
AEainst Ames on same
Field n Week Ago.

MINNEAPOLIS, oct. 1~6.-Cspeciai Tele-
g~ramJ-For the first time in years on the
eve Of the annual struggle between Ne
braska and Minnesota, the C~ornhuskers are
the favorites in the betting. Tonight when
the two teams are resting after a light
signal practice this afternoon, Nebraska Ia
picked to win In the game on Northrup
field tomorrow. The betting is 10 to Z in
favor of Nebraska The poor showing in
the game with Lawrence and their narrow
escape from defeat at the hands of Ames
last Saturday caused the supporters of DR..
Williams' men to lose confidence in the
ability Of the team to win out against the
Cornhuskers The arrival of Coach Cole
with his husky bunch this morning caused
tho Nebraska stock to go up several pointa
Several of tho Minnesota fans went around
TO the West hotel. where the team is stop
ping, TO see just what kind of a bunch
Nebraska had sent up. When they saw the
team they we're convinced that the Gophers
would meet defeat tomorrow.
The Cornhuskers and their coach are ex-
pectlng to win. MI of the men except one
half back are in good shape for the game.
Beltzer injured his shoulder in the contest
with Grinnell so badly that he will not be
able TO play tomorrow. Beltzer's loss to
the Cornhuskers will be felt a great deal,
for he was depended upon to do the for
ward passing, and there is no one TO take
his place who is at all skilled in this work.
Coach Cole tonight says that if anything
loses Nebraska the game it will be the
absence of Beltzer from the lineup. Harry
Minor will take Beltzer's place.
Minnesota will have a stronger team in
the game against Nebraska than was sent
against Ames. Young, who was out on ac-
count of injuries, is in condition and will
play. Coach Williams says his green ma
terial has developed during the week SO
that the team will be able to play Nebraska
hard enough to win. t

MOrnInEsIde Ready for Defeat.

SIOUX CITY. Ia. Oct. 16.-CSpeciaI)-In
an effort TO build up a defense that will
hold Iowa to a low score in the game to
be played on Bass field a week from sat
urday, Coach Jack HOLSTER of Morning
side college has been giving his foot ball
squad strenuous practice for the last week.
While the Methodist gridirou warriors real
ize that Coach Catlin has probably ono
of the strongest scoring machines ever
turned out at the state university. they
believe they will be able to keep the score
under twenty points. The team has been
greatly strengthened during the week by
the return OF Captain Ray Whisman and
Elliott. Whisman is admitted to be one
of the fastest halfbacks in the state. and
besides will strengthen the eleven In the
kicking game. Elliott will probably go to
quarterback, where he starred on last
years team. With a back field composed
of Collins, Whisman, Elliott and Rogers,
the team will be exceptionally strong in
offensive play. Despite the fact tina Morn
ingside was able TO tie the score against
Creighton by the successful working of a
forward pass, the team uses It rather rag
gedly. The Methodist line will be greatly
outweighed by their Iowa opponents, but
Coach Hollister does not consider this
much Of a handicap. The second team will
go to Sioux Falls for a game with Toll
mans business college team.

Another One Punctured.

The circulation of such reports is in line
with what Tom Allen and his henchmen
are doing in Lincoln. They have circulated
the report that the First ward has been
polled and will give Bryan a majority of
200. Chairman Matson has also investigated
the First ward and he produced the figures
to show how utterly foolish and baseless is
the democratic claim. Mr.. Matson gave out
the following statement:
The following figures taken from the
certified registration lists of the three
precincts in the First ward to date, show
a total registration of 563 votes. of which
1853 are republican, $50 democrat. / independ-
ent, 4 prohibition, 2 socialist and % giving
no party utilization.
/ do not assume nor do I think It fair to
the honesty of those who register that a
man who gives his party utilization under
oath Is going to vote a different ticket, 1
do not believe that there is any man who
has any occasion for or who is committing
perjury in the matter of politics this fall.
But ASSUMING that Mr.. Bryan secures all
the votes in the First ward registered as
nonrepublican, Mr.. Taft will have a ma
jority of l4S. In order for Mr.. Bryan 10
carry this ward by 200 votes on the present
registration, he will have to get between
100 and 200 of the votes registered as re-
publican, which figures show how close
democrats usually come to the truth in
making prediction prophecies, being on a
parity with their standard bearers prophe-
cies of what would transpire In the event
of adoption of the gold standard in 1896;
his anti-imperialism of 1900 and his anti
military prophecies of 1904.
/ am not surprised at this claim of the
democrats. as it is but a part OF their
general scheme 10 misrepresent political
conditions in Mr.. Bryan's home town. 1
have observed that many democrats have
persistently and knowingly misrepresented
conditions and the position Of prominent
men in Lancaster county during this cam
paign. L presume this - for the purpose
Of having an effect on this state and per-
lhaps other states, for It is a well known
fact that the city of Lincoln and Lancaster
county are strongly republican. Even in
1896, the time that Mr.. Bryan was the
strongest, he lacked approximately 600 votes
of carrying this county. In 1900 he lost 1t
