Somewhat mystified by the singu-
lar question, but determined not to
snow his ignorance, the congressman
replied
Georgia.

Otherwise the team is In good condition

Trainer Tommy O'Brien was we'll pleased
with the manner in which the Iowa team
came through the trip to Sioux City. The
excellent accommodations furnished by
the Northwestern railroad gave the men
two good nights rest on the sleeper and
the soft ooze in which the game was

the players.
The best news given out by Trainer

the prolonged rest has practically cured
his knee. II the team comes through the
hard scrimmage today and tomorrow with
out trouble the Hawkeye eleven will be

night. Up and down Iowa field they We're

Captain Kirk and Perrine were both in
the signal practice. Trainer Tommy

Democrats nj Their old Tricks In

Johnson Count
TECUMSEH. Neb. oct. T-tSpecial)-
The democratic roorback. expected at n
late hour, has already made its appear
ance in Johnson county. The county dem
ocratic committee has issued circulars
showing that in the case Of some fifteen
men, residents OF the county, the new as
sessment shows an Increase in taxes. The
committee has failed to show the names
of men whose taxes are not increased. 1t
has also failed to state that last year there
was no assessment made for road purposes,
and the county board found itself badly
Handicapped in the matter Of road Inn
provement. Floods followed and many
bridges were washed away, and the same
had to be replaced and the roads fixed.
Three mills is levied under the new as
sessment for road purposes, and 1t is little
enough. From this road appropriation
many bills for road Improvement already
contracted will be paid, for emergencies
have existed and the county board has
been obliged to act. One farmer taxpayer
came s%norting into the county clerks Of.
of the democratic committee advised him
to See abolt his taxes before he votes. He
found them to be somewhat lower thar
last year and went back and gave the
committeeman the laugh. Another thing
the democratic committee fails to rscog
nize is the natural and expected increase
in valuations under the last assessment
particularly ignoring the advance of farm
lands and public improvements in cities
villages and school districts.

Saturday.

LINCOLN, Oct. 2.-Cspecial)-The Corn

the season this afternoon. King" Cole
took them out to the state farm on account
Of the muddy field at Antelope park, and
refused to let any spectators witness the
first Of the two final sc1mmages before
the Iowa game Saturday.
All of the varsity regulars we're out for
practice with the exception of Cooke and
Frum. Beltzer and Kroger took no very
active part in the scrimmage. The former,
with one of the substitutes, spent most of
the time in passing the ball on the forward
pass and in limbering up his booting leg.
He punted the ball a considerable distance.
some of his punts going over fifty yards.
His work this afternoon was the best he
has done this season in practice, Kroger,
whose kicking leg has been out of service
for the last ten days, did a little drop and
place kicking, but the injury TO his leg
kept him from doing any satisfactory work.
Several new plays we're introduced 10
the men and were used with great effect
against the scrubs. The new "peekaboo''
offense was employed for two of the plays
and proved to be better than even the
coach had anticipated. One of these plays
in particular wrought all kinds of havoc
WIN NHS ueASiSb put up ny Ne stIubs
and the regulars made consistent gains
that resulted in two touchdowns being
made in close succession. These plays are
to be used in the Iowa game Saturday,
and the Nebraska coaches believe they will
be good for many gains.
Bentley was at quarter in Cooks's place
and showed great improvement over his
earlier work in running the team. He
displayed greater speed in making enc
runs than the coaches had hoped he would
be able to do. Twice he eavded the ends
on the. scrub team for runs Of considerable
length.
Tomorrow the .Cornhuskers will hole
their last scrimmage of the week. Thurs.
