to finish, and it should be the duty of
every girl to be present to cheer her
team on to victory.
Let us see you among the renters at
the coming hockey game, November 12.
Baseball for Girls.
There wis a time when it was very
humorous to refer facetiously to a
girl's throwing arm. The idea of any
girl throwing anything straight enough
to hit anything else has been capital
ized in every funny paper in the land.
Our remote ancestors laughed loudly
over the old joke about the girl who
wasn't so sorry she was late to the
pesky old game anyhow, for the score
was still nothing to nothing, so she
hadn't missed anything. But that day
has passed.
It is now no uncommon thing for
any up-to-date college girl to be able
to set the umpire right if he overlooks
a close play at second, and to distin
guish between batting averages and
life Insurance statistics. Really, any
intelligent sophomore can tell you that
fans are not those feather things the
girls carry at parties, and that bats are
not necessarily the little furred ani
mals that fly at night.
For the last five years the girls at
the University have played baseball.
The first few who assembled came as
a sort of a motley crew to escape gym
nasium sufferings and to work off cred
its. And lo, they almost had a good
time at it. At any rate, they told
their friends that it beat some activi
ties as a pastime, and the following
year the baseball squad gained in num
bers and in quality. It has steadily
advanced until now baseball has come
to be one of the foremost sports for
girls, and to number among its de
votees some of the most brilliant and
attractive girls in the University.
No one has ever been injured in
baseball, except a score boy who
argued with a captain, and the army
officer who paused in his work to
watch a game and fielded a foul tip
with his gleaming front teeth. Abso
lutely no one has ever "gone off mad"
as girls are popularly supposed to do
in games, and no one has ever been
investigated by the athletic board for
professionalism during the summer
months, and though the games are
often closely followed by scouts, so
far, even the most promising players
have never been approached with of
fers to Jump to the "Feds."
Swimming.
In spite of the obstacles and hard
ships the girls undergo each year in
obtaining a place to swim, they have
been successful for four years in rent
ing one. Unfortunately the University
gymnasium has no pool, so through the
courtesy of the city Y. M. C. A. the
girls rent the pool for one morning of
each week.
The season starts early in the school
year and thus far seventy girls have
joined the University Girls' Swimming
club. The fee for the year is two dol
lars for the lessons.
Swimming Is an art rather than a
game. It is not easily mastered, ana
to be efficient It requires much? train
ing. Every girl can learn this art
unless she is physically infirm or natu
rally a coward.
The girls are taught gradually, first
to become accustomed to the water so
that when the head goes under they
will not think they are drowning. Then
by careful explanation and teaching
they are taught the strokes of swim
ming and the art of diving.
Much pleasure is gained from it as
well as health and gracefulness. The
water is invigorating and makes one
full of "pep." The girls actually dive
for shoe spoons and tea cups. From
the noises and screams comming from
the pool a passerby would think some
one was drowning, but the real cause
is only an exuberant expression of
pleasure and enjoyment
In the spring the girls as a club
make several expeditions to Capital
beach for a swim,, which is more of a
picnic than a lesson.
It is hoped that in the near future a
swimming pool in a new gymnasium
will be available to all University girls.
The art is no small matter, but it is
useful and every one in any way of
life should know the common strokes
of swimming.
Fraternity Freshman Mixer
A fraternity Freshman Mixer is an
Innovation in Pan-Hellenic circles to
be initiated on the evening of Friday,
November 5, in the Armory.
The object and idea of the dance is
to bring the reshmen together and
thereby promote acquaintance and
association, which has had little op
portunity to be fostered among the
Freshmen in the past. The Mixer will
be for fraternity Freshmen exclusive
ly and no upper classmen will be
granted admission.
The ranee .will be under the direc
tion of the Inter-fraternity Council
and all tickets will be audited by
Chairman Philo Buck and the execu
tive committee composed of R. A.
Smith and C. T. Spier. The proceeds
derived from the dance will go into
the general inter-fraternity fund, to be
used at the direction of the council.
The Mixer will fill the long-felt need
of bringing together the fraternity
Freshmen and give them an opportun
ity to meet their fellow Freshmen,
and has for that reason been adopted
by the council.
C. T. Spier, chairman of the Inter
fraternity Council, has appointed as a
committee the following:
J. C. Williams.
D. Arent.
A. Nesbit.
James Ensign.
Paul Whitney.
Robert Haskell.
Dean of Men
Rumor has it that Nebraska is to
have a Dean of Men and at last the
long realized necessity is to be met.
Just who is to fill the new position has
not been announced, but the official
headquarters will be located in the
tower of University Hall in order that
a complete survey of the campus can
be taken every hour.
Men are too obliging and work too
hard for their professors. Overwork
is one of the great dangers faced by
college men. Supervision by a Dean
of Men may help to eliminate this
danger.
Rumors
Like the rain that falls from the
sky, requests have come into the
Social Controller's office that the
Cornhusked banquet be discontinued
in order that the boys may attend the
Girls' Cornhusker Party, which takes
place on the same night A Ladder
and Rope Committee has been appoint
ed, and it is hoped that they will be
able to cooperate and serve more ef
ficiently than last year. Several more
windows will be added to the Armory
and possibly an underground passage
to the bulling will be supplied.
Vocal Exercise
The announcement that a Bleacher
Practice will be staged every Tuesday
and Thursday afternoons from 4 to 5.
in the grandstand on the Athletic
Field ought to bring out a full at
tendance of loyal rooters. Due to the
fact that the boys' rooting at the Notre
Dame game was entirely drowned out
by the well organized and splendidly
systematized rooting of the girls, the
girls have been requested to Instruct
the boys on how to yell and a com
petent corps of "co-eds" will be on the
field to make suggestions, criticise and
lead tho boys in their practice.
Every Nebraska man out there Is
nothing like a practical demonstration
of loyalty.
