The Seniors had a clean slate, as did the Freshmen, neither having been defeated this year. .The crowd was kept waiting until 3:50 o'oclock on account of the "rag chewing" on eligibility. Finally, the "Frosh" were allowed to play their men. The spectators crowded on. the sidelines and field and everybody had their "say." A few stayed in the grandstand to protect the three wom en there. For the benefit of the audience, It would be as well If a committee was "appointed and a set of rules adopted and printed. The betting at first was 5 to 4 in favor of the Seniors, but after the report that "Thirsty" Mor ris would not be in the lineup, the betting changed to 7 to 5 in favor of the Seniors. The players displayed a conglam eration of colors in the uniforms (?) Wilson's suit resembled Joseph's coat of many colors. On exhibition drop kicking, "Russ" Israel kicked goals from the 45-yard line. "Bob" Talbott entertained the visitors with a very neat exhibition of forward passing. Everybody was in good spirits. "Fox," the Phi Psl's latest pledge, mads friends with everybody In the crowd, including the Freshmen players. At 3:30 the teams lined up. They looked about equal in beef, but if the Seniors had had a common sized man in their line In place of "Bill" Fol som, the Freshmen would have out weighed them. The Freshmen kicked off to the Sen iors. Freshmen were penalized five yards. Seniors made their downs on straight line bucks. Bowman made fifteen yards around left end. Israel failed to gain.

TO START FRAT ATHLETICS Board Will Meet and Elect Officers Plans for Bolwlng Tourna ment Being Considered The Interfraternity Athletic board met yesterday at 11 o'clock in Prof. R. G. Clapp's office. The main pur pose of the meeting which was to Alert officers was postponed until the next meetin , the following week at the same hour. Arthur Bans was elected temporary chairman. The same board voted to reserve the afternoon and evening of Febru arv 26 for the Interfraternity Athletic meet. The meet will be held in the afternoon and a dance in the evening. It is the intention of the board to make this much more of a social af fair than it has been in past years. Other business of the meeting con sisted in appointing a committee of D. Stevens, "Tim" Corey and Ken neth Craig to look into the possibility of organizing an Interfraternity bowl ing tournament This commitee will report at the meeting next week.

THE HOLIDAY FETE PLAUSJAKE FORM PURPOSE WILL BE TO MAKE IT "GET TOGETHER" MEETING TO HAVE A CHRISTMAS TREE Various Small Booths Will Be Ar ranged on Second Floor- A Real "Mixer" Is Hoped For Presents for All "The all-inclusive 'get to know each other' Christmas party, under the aus pices of the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A., is not going to disappoint anyone," says the committee force. Neither do the committee think anything but a large crowd will be present. Al though they admitted at first that they were somewhat skeptical as to the outcome of any evening of amuse ment without dancing, they now won der whether or not their preparations will be adequate to provide for those who have thus far said they were coming. "Something will be going on all the while," is the essence of the re port. On both floors will be found worth while amusements. The hearth fires in the Y. M. and Y. W. rooms will be ablaze and the blaze will not be merely for effect either. Clever ways of getting acquainted have been arranged. "Mixers" as a rule don't mix and realizing this, unusual efforts and methods will be exerted to bring the different constituents together. Then the "broiling pot," as it were, will be on the first floor. A homo geneous mixture is hoped for. On the second floor various small booths will be found, each one repre senting a holiday, hence the name of this affair "Holiday Fete." Some thing of interest and amusement will be found in connection with eacn booth. About and hour and a half before Sunday morning the "children" will all get to see the big Christmas tree and then Santa Claus will appear in all his Arctic array with a pack of presents on his back and each good "little boy and girl" will get one.

STILL TALK GIRLS' PARTY Ail Excitement Has Not Yet Sub sided Chancellor Censors Newspaper Talk concerning the Girls' Corn husker party Is still heard on the cam pus. The Lincoln Dally News con tained the following article yester day: Four co eds lay claim to discover ing George De Ford, the young man who attended the girls' party at the University the other night In a femi nine costume, and assert that they were Instrumental In driving him from the room. According to their story, one of them had been watching De Ford part of the evening She knew him, be. cause he had been in one of her classes. She told her companions and the four followed him around until they had him in a corner. De Ford then knew he had been discovered and fled through the front door before the girls could catch him. It was known that evening to a number at the party that a man had been pres ent. Chancellor Avery did not indicate Tuesday morning whether or not any thing would be done about the case. He did indicate, however, that he was quite Incensed that newspapers should publish pictures of men in dresses and that sort of thing. He said he thought it was "pretty low" when such high class papers as the Daily News stooped, to put such a thing on the first page. Chancellor Avery was not in his accustomed good humor, and showed that he was quite irri tated about the whole business. Student sentiment is being aired as a result of the incident. The young lady who was instrumental in dis covering De Ford, said: "I do not think that in general the girls take .the matter seriously except possibly a few who wore abbreviated cos tumes." TO AWARD CONTRACTS SOON Hospital Building In Omaha and the Chemistry Building Here Are Under Consideration It was expected that the Board of Regents would pave the way for the letting of the contracts for the new University hospital building at Omaha and the new Chemistry building at a meeting, Tuesday afternoon. Bids are now being advertised for these buildings. The board probably will di rect a committee to award the con tracts for these buildings. The social science building plans are now practi cally complete and It is thought that the board may take some action to ward letting the contract for that building in the spring. No steps have yet been taken to clear the site at Twelfth and R streets. Charles Hodgdon, the special archi tect engaged by the University, ar rived in the city from Chicago Tues day morning. He was closeted with the regents during Tuesday after noon. Senior Hop Tickets on Safe eale today for $1.25, for the Senior Hop which will be held at the Lincoln on January 14.

TEAM WILL LEAVE FRIDAY MORNING NEBRASKA NEGATIVE DEBATERS GO VIA UNION PACIFIC THE THIRD JUDGE SELECTED Professor Van Der Zee Is the Third Member of Lincoln Judges Much Spirit Shown in the Contest The Nebraska team which will de bate the negative side of the arma ment question against Kansas at Law rence, Friday, will leave for the ene my's country over the Union Pacific tomoirow morning at 7 o'clock, and arrive In Lawrence at 3:45 p. m. The men making the trip are: Charles L. Schofleld, '17, Lincoln; Guy C. Cham bers, Law '16, Sidney, and Harold J. Schwab, '16, Law '18, McCook. News from Lawrence Is to the ef fect that the three debaters on the hospital list last week have been re moved from the Blck ward and are working zealously with their team mates on the arguments to be used against Nebraska. The students of the Jayhawker college are looking for a double victory Friday night, and a great deal of interest has been arous ed In preparation for a Kansas tri umph. The third Judge, lacking both for the Lawrence and Lincoln ends of the dual debate has been secured. Prof. Jacob Van Der Zee, Department of Political Science, Iowa university, completes the trio of officials for the Lincoln contest, and ex-Mayor Darius Brown of Kansas City, for the Law rence contest. Lots of spirit will characterize the local debate. Cheer leaders will be on hand to lead a "pep" meeting be fore the battle of words begins. Both the Kansas and Nebraska teams are confident of being able to out-argue their opponents, and a stirring verbal combat is assured. A larger attendance by far than has turned out to previous debates Is pre dicted by Business Manager Darrel Lane. Delegations will be sent from different high schools and colleges over the state arguing the same ques tion. Different fraternities and soror ities are also considering attending to gether. A PLAY AT TEMPLE THEATRE To Be Given for the Benefit of the Athletic Board of the Temple - High School A "stunt" play of the Orpheum type will be produced by the Herbert Gantt players at the Temple theatre, December 14.

A part of the proceeds will be spent for sweaters for the football team. The exact nature of the show has f fcon rifnclosed as yet, but it is well known that Walter Herbert him self is an amateur bordering on the professional, who will be well worth the price of admission alone. Every one is Invited to come.
