Promising Material
In Freshman Squad.

The most promising crowd OF fresh-
men that has reported for football
trials for many a day is, in the opin-
ion of Coach John Miller, now work
ing out every day on Rollins Field.
There are forty or fifty freshmen out
for the team. Travis, Tarkio tackle,
weighing POS pounds; Allen of Went

near 210; Eberhart, all-Missouri end
for two years, from Missouri Wes-
leyan; Goepel, a st. Louis end, and
Kirkpatrick, a Kansas City Westport
High School basketball man, who
may develop into good end, are
among the candidates. Regular prac-
tice for the freshmen starts at 4:3O,
but many of them begin their work
outs at $3.50 each day.

WAR WILL SAVE CHINA MONEY
Huge Debts Owed Germany Are Lifted
BY Peking's Entrance Into Fight.

Correspondence of the Associated Press)
PEKING, Sept. 20.1China entry
into the European War on the side of
the allies will relieve the Chinese
government of interest payments up
on obligations owed to the German
government and German corporations
aggregating nearly s235,OOO,OOO gold.
The greatest single obligation China
owes TO Germany is the Boxer in
demnity money, amounting to about
S106,565, 900 gold The next items in
importance are two loans of $4,000
600 gold each known as the first and
the second Anglo-German loans and
negotiated through the German
Asiatic Bank. Germany's portion of
the reorganization loan participated in
by the five power group, is $25,Onn,On0
gold. Railway loans made by the
German-Asiatic Bank aggregate over
s4,0O0,00O gold
In addition there are miscellaneous
short term loans made by various
German firms, which are estimated
at a total of S4,O00,O0O gold.

Fifteen Letter Men.

Prospects of a winning team look
favorable in spite of the fact that
fifteen letter men have been lost
since last season and that scholastic
bans will keep several promising
players from last years freshman
team off the field, says an Associated
Press report from Lincoln. Only five
men remain from last years winning
team. They are Rhodes, 1. e., Edison
Shaw, captain, r. t. Dobson alternate
f. b., Otoupalik, f., and Riddell. r. e.
OF the five men who will return,
Dobson and Riddell were too young
for the draft. while the other three
tried to get into the army or navy,
but were disqualified on account of
physical disability Shaw has an in
jured knee, an injured foot and bad
eyes. Rhodes has finger missing and
Otoupalik an athletic heart. Every
member of last years team offered
himself for the government service.
Two promising freshmen, Cox and
Dinsmore, received commissions at
Fort Smelling for the army.
"We will have a good team" said
Coach E. ]. Stewart, formerly of the
Oregon Aggies. 'but not the team we
would have had if ineligibility had
not slapped us so hard. The contests
should be close for while we have
lost a lot of good material, the other
schools have also, and / believe our
recovery and the machine We can build
up will place us pretty well up"
Jack" Best, the veteran trainer
who has been with the University of
Nebraska for twenty eight years, is
not so conservative in his estimates as
is Coach Stewart.
We'll have a little bit better team
this year than last" he said. We've
got the boys and the coach, and now
we'll teach 'em speed and science OF
the game and they'll win-that is, if
they have the nerve, and I'm sure they
have. If a man hasn't nerve nothing
will make him a football player or
anything else"

Chinese government holding the

The German-Asiatic Bank with
branches at Peking, Tientsin, Tsinanfu,
Hankow and Canton, is the largest
German concern doing business in
China, and has a capital of about ST.
100000 gold. 1t is charged that this

German capital also is employed
quite extensively in the cement in
