NEBRASKA'S FIELD IN SHAPE
Cornhuskcr Gridiron is Resodded
and in Readiness for Fall.
PRACTICE IN FORTNIGHT
Athletes Report September 30 Pre-
pRrHtOry 10 Fall Training, and
First Game Comes Two
Weeks Later.
ny JAMES E. LAWRENCE.

LINCOLN. Neb, Sept. 5.-(Special. If
carefully-kept gridiron can contribute
In any way to the success of a foot ball
squad, Manager Guy Il. Reed, OF the Uni
versity OF Nebraska, feels there is no rea-
son why the Cornhuskers should not re-
peat on an "all-victorious season" again
this fall. The Cornhusker field was never
in better shape than II is right now, and
Reed spent the last week getting 1t into
final shape before the arrival of the
players In two weeks to begin practice.
At an expense of nearly 81 900 Reed re-
sodded the athletic field early last sum
mer. although the sod on tho field was
nearly as good as any grounds In the
Missouri valley. The favorable weather
conditions, with constant care by tho
athletic authorities, has made the foot
ball field as green as meadow, and
Reed don't think It will be possible for
any teams to pull the same kind OF an
alibi that Minnesota had last fall OF a
''cement ground"
Reed saved considerable money in al
lowing the bleachers on the south side Of
the field TO stand all summer Hereto
fore II has been customary to tear them
down after the foot ball season and con-
blIucl lnem dBhln IN tne lall. Inc Dlehcn-
ers will probably remain permanent here
after.
Reed Will this week start to laying out
the field. In this connection he will in
troduce an innovation at Nebraska which
has been used to good success In the jay
hawker institution. Numbers will be ar
ranged on each side of the field the en-
tire distance so that the spectators as
we'll as officials may know the exact po-
sition OF the ball.
Under the new Missouri Valley ruling.
Stiehm will be able To start practice on
September 90 lie will issue his official
call few days previous. The conference
adopted a rule that all members must OBJ
serve September 20 as the opening date
for practice. Heretofore Stiehm has been
handicapped In that some OF the schools
have started a full two or three weeks
ahead OF Nebraska, practice depending
on the registration date OF the college.
II will give stiehm two weeks in which
to prepare his squad for the opening
game with washburn. Stiehm has al
ready decided to follow the usual tactics
OF no scrimmage the first week, but Will
be content with conditioning the men.

is to be held in this city next March,
which bids fair to be one of much in
terest to this community. as we'll as
the surrounding counties, namely,
the musical contest.
The contest will be confined to the
piano this year.
Music has uplifted many a weary
soul; it has broadened many minds;
been spurred on to overcome seem
ingly impossible tasks. 1t has been
recognized that beyond all doubt a
taste and love for high class music
takes an active part in the mould
ing of men and women of real worth.
Who hath no music in his soul shr
Realizing these facts, DIR. George
Selden Waldo. director of the Chau-
tauqua circuit of Florida, of which
this city is member. has inaugural

the chautauquas under his manage
ment.
Each city will conduct its own in
dividual contest. Judges will be Sc
lected from among the local veil
known musicians and probably one
from among the celebrated music
ians who will appear on the pro-
gram.
To the winner of the contest at
each chautauqua DR.. Waldo will pre-
sent handsome gold medal.
Absolutely no partially will be
shown in the competition for the
medal. The successful contestant
will win it simply and solely on his
or her merit. 1t therefore, behooves
each prospective contestant to put in
an active winters study, especially
upon the piece to be played in the
chautauqua contest.
Conditions of entrance into the
contest will be as follows:
Any white boy or girl of eighteen
years or under. residing in the state
of Florida.
Contestants must have at no time
taught piano or been employed as a
paid pianist.
Piece must be memorized.
Piece must be by recognized COM
poser of high grade music.
No ''ragtime" permitted.
No piece shall take over ten min
utes for its rendition.
The piece must be fourth grade or
higher.
Contestants VIII bs marked.
among other things, on the follow
ing:
Position, memory, expression. and

All would-be contestants should
send their names at once to Mr.. ]. d.
Rooney of the local chautauqua COM
mittee, and he in turn will refer the
the name to the chairman of the
piano contest committee.
In addition to the above contest,
there will be another one in decla-
nation, in which DR. Waldo will
also award gold medal to the win
ner. Details of the defamation con-
test Will be given later.
