Lincoln, Neb. Oct. 16.-The Wash
burn Ichabods from Topeka arrived in
the city at an early hour this mo n
ing to play the Nebraska Corn Husk-
erS this afternoon. Coach Gray said
that his men were i'll poor condition
and that they only hoped to hold the
NebraSkahS to low score.
For the last two years the Ichapods
have succeeded in giving Nebraska
hard game, and despite he apparent
weakened condition Of the Kansans
and the "bear" dope that has been
coming from Topeka, Coach Stle N
and his men were not so sure his
morning that they would have run
away.
This morning the Nebraskans stat
ed that the only men they feared on
the Topeka eleven were Captain 3eais,
who scored the Ichabod touchdown
last year here, and Big Sam Stewart,
who plays tackle. 1t was announced
that Beals would have to play quarter
instead of half as Sullivan, the sub
quarter, is out with injured ribs.
The field was very heavy a re-
suit of Friday nights rain and this
was considered quite an advantage to
the heavier Nebraska eleven.
The probable lineup was given cut
this morning as follows:

Then Bill would enjoy little laugh, in which
the entire audience would join.
When entering the vast hall where perfect
order prevails one gets an impression of per-
feet spontaneity. But the truth is this happy
condition Of affairs Is the result of months
and perhaps years of preparation and organi-
zation. In the Tabernacle is perfectly or
ganized corps OF nurses, physicians, ushers and
police ready at any moment to act in any
emergency. In the rear of the building near
the huge platform is a perfectly equipped, tenn
porary hospital Any woman who faints is
promptly and gently carried out.
Confusion under these circumstances is re-
duced to minimum or altogether averted,
by the perfect system in operation. The hall
is divided into sections and a man, with the
title Of lieutenant, with number of soldiers
under him. is placed in charge Of each d.

conduct OF his section.

a whole lot of your crowd are on your way to

Baptist ministers Of Philadelphia, pastors who
were most active in the campaign to bring Mr.
Sunday to the city, occupied places on the
platform They looked panied

applause permitted, Il have something for you
too. You think you are the salt OF the earth
and the very creme de la creme OF the
Christian Church You talk about your pre-
destination, your solid theology and other
things. But tell you that a good many OF
your bunch will find themselves in place
where people are so busy trying to keep cool
that they have no time to discuss theology.
Then he would go down the line handing
out" some "scorching stuff" TO the ministers Of
all denominations. The laymen in the audi
ence would show their delight in laughter,
handclapping and other methods by which peo-
pie give demonstrations Of approval. For
few moments he would look at the vast sea
of humanity and then making a megaphone OF
his hands, he would shout:
You've heard me trim the ministers. Now |
want to tell you that everything / said to them
goes with you, too, and you may add at least
20 per cent to it. II you did your duty the
ministers would undoubtedly do theirs In
this way he would heal up the wounds inflicted

Sunday has been described as a slang sling
ing, picturesque, vulgar, phrase-making individ-
ual He has been denounced as coarse,
swash-buckler evangelist, always playing to
the galleries, Indifferent as to what he says, so
long as he can excite laughter or bring himself
the guerdon OF unthnkng applause. Nothing
could be further from the truth
He uses slang, it is true. Some of it in print
is appalling; it causes the reader to shudder
But, delivered in his inimitable style it charms
The coarseness seems to be extracted from it
before it leaves his mouth. Somebody said his
slang was Constructive" BY some strange
alchemy the words which offend when spoken
by the ordinary man when uttered by this ex-
traordinary evangelist seem to have been con-
verted into the choicest English
