to death with sexologists until the
pupils can't think of anything else. We
don't want any more of It."
The name of the University Y. M.
C. A. sexologist could not be learned.

WHEN A FRATERNITY
IS HOH FRATERNITY
Great Bunch of Fellows on South
; Eleventh Street Been Together
For Three or Four Years.
There is something new here at Ne
braska, something so unusual that It
has attracted considerable" interest. On
South Eleventh street there is a fra
ternity that is not a fraternity, a bunch
of fellows who stay otgether because
they like each other's company. There
are many places in Lincoln where stu
dents stay together during the year,
but this bunch differs from the rest.
There are some of the bunch who have
stuck together three or four years,
and while they are not all frat men,
tliey are alf good fellows, and several
of them are prominent In the univer
sity. Another unusual thing about this
bunch -which has stuck together so
long, Is that it has shown no desire
to encroach upon the privileges of a
greek letter fraternity. In fact, they
have no organlzatioa whatever, and
are governed by no rule except the
unwritten law which has to do with
the attitude of a freshman towards an
upper classman.

SOPHOMORES NOW
READY FOR FROSH
Wrestlers and Boxers as Well as Push
Ball Men and Tug of War Crew
Chosen.
The fact that the Sophomores are
not sparing any efforts to win the
Olympics this year was 6hown when
they held a meeting In the Armory
last night and began to make further
plans for th conquest 6f the Fresh
man. The event had been heralded out
to every loyal Soph and it was with
grim determination that they assem
bled and listened to the exhortations
of their leader, President Harney.
Each Soph present hoped only to get
a chance at the Frosh heroes on next
Saturday morning. A great deal of
Interest has been shown in regard to
the coming Olympics, each class Is
making the best effort and showing
the greatest spirit that has been
shown in recent years. The men who
will represent the Sophomores are:
In light weight wrestling, Helzer, who
defeated Flaherty; and Shimerda was
awarded the honors by having no op
ponent in heavy weight wrestling.
The boxing was the best feature of
the evening as four men went out for
the light weight honors after several
very hard rounds Hbadley defeated
Purney and Tolle defeated his op
ponent. In the finals of this division
Hoadley won over Tolle after several
hard rounds. In the heavy weight
division Van Meter won over O'Brien.
This was a very good match but Van
Meter's ability to mix gave him the
decision.
The list of nven for the push ball
contest is nearly complete and the
tug of war crew is also picked out
All together the Sophs are ready to do
bloody battle with the FroBh element
VARSITY-FRESHMEN
FRESHMEN USE FORMATIONS OF
MICH. AGGIES WITH SUCCESS.
REGULARS WERE ALL OUT
Varsity, Playing Entirely on the De
fensive, Solve the Wierd Attack
of the Freshmen After
Some Trouble.
By H. I. Kyle.
Yesterday the freshmen, using plays
and formations as nearly like those of
the Michigan Aggies as possible, were
pitted against the varsity, In the big
scrimmage of the week. The 'varsity
team started with all the regulars in
their places. The kidlets kicked off
and Doyle, for the varsity, punted on
the first play. Then the freshmen un
corked some of the wierd Michigan.
Ag-onies that Coach Hoeffel has been
drilling them in, for the past two days.
The snapping of the ball was a sig
nal tor the whole frosh team to yell,
and that's exactly what they did, dear
reader, yell ; not like educated civilized
college rooters, with rythmic, buoyant,
undulating cadence, but with short,
sharp, Pi-Utical, Comancheese, yelps,
like seven coyotes on a hill-top, strug
gling for expression. Suddenly, out of
the howling mass of backfielders, a
figure would dart, only to be 'over
whelmed immediately by the whole
varsity line. Meanwhile, the man with
the ball would be sneaking up the
other side of the field, like a greasy
dum-dum. Maybe Howard would get
him and maybe it would be Rutherford
or Potter. Once no one got him.
After about fifteen minutes of that
kind of stuff, the regulars got wise to
