LINCOLN. oct. 27.-CSpecial.)-After con-
siderable negotiating Nebraska and Kansas
have agreed upon officials for their annual
game in Lincoln next week. As this is
considered the crucial struggle of the sea-
son for the Missouri valley championship
each side was set on getting officials whom
nobody would question as being fair and
impartial in their decisions.
Ralph Hamll, ex-Chicago, Is to be ret-
cree. He acted in that capacity IN the
Nebraska Minnesota game at Omaha and
both sides were highly pleased with his
work.
Arthur Poe. the famous player who won
the princeton yale. game for his school In
1898 by a drop kick, whent he was cap
tain Of the Princeton eleven, will be UNI
plre. Poe is one Of the names that has
lived in the foot ball world as that OF one
Of the greatest players who ever wore a
foot ball uniform.
L. L. Thompson, ex-West Point, Will head
Ilneman and A. c. Riley Of the Kansas
City Athletic club viii act ds field Judge
These four men are believed to be one Of
the best a~uartets Of officials that have
been,brought together at any game in the
west this fail.
NEUIdHhh ANAA ~
arouse great enthusiasm for the Kansas
game. They intend to have two mass
meetings next week to learn yells and
songs and to perfect their roofing for the
game.
A special section of the grandstand has
been reserved for co-eds and a large body
Of them will be present with megaphones
and colors to root for the Cornhuskers.
- raoor h.Atar- hnarinC the
words. I'VE must beat Kansas" is being
filled by a Minneapolis firm and Will be
shipped to arrive in Lincoln the latter part
Of this week. These buttons are to be
worn by all students in the university to
show what Nebraska wants to do to the
Jayhawkers.
The writer of the article from Iowa
City that appeared In the Bee this morn
ing and complained that Nebraska was vio-
lating a Missouri Valley conference rule
by maintaining a training table confessed
his ignorance OF the laws Of the Big
Seven
1t is true that the training table was
abolished last January, but upon protest Of
Kansas. Nebraska and Missouri the rule
doing away with the table was rescinded
at the meeting of the conference represen-
tatlves held in Des Moines in June.
The dispatch from Iowa City made 1t
look as though the ~Cornhuskers were try
ing to conceal their table. The truth is
It has been given great publicity and the
fact that 1t was started was mentioned in
this column last month. Nebraska, Mis-
souri and Kansas are all keeping training
tables for their gridiron men this fall.
Cole has decided to keep the varsity out
of scrimmage work this week, but will
send them into some hard play after the
Doane game. This afternoon he gave them
additional plays to learn for the Kansas
battle. Most of these were tricks that
are calculated to fool the Jayhawkers.
The C~ornhuskers will concentrate their
efforts for the rest OF the week to build
up their offensive play. They displayed
{ a glaring weakness in attempting to score
in the Minnesota and Iowa games and Cole
learned then that he would nave to pound
the men through stiff work in order to get
eleven.
The Nebraska coaches have little fear
OF being able to hold down the score on
the Jayhawker side, but they are not so
sure their mon viii be able to tally against
Coach Keunedy's players. The defense OF
the Cornhuskers has proved its worth in
the two big games already played and Cole
can rest assured It will hold up against
Kansas. What he wants to do now Is to
strengthen his offense. II he brings Il
up 80 per cent over the showing in the
Iowa game Nebraska will stand an ex-
cellent chance OF winning from the Jay
kers.
