"Bob" Talbot Makes Senior
Touchdown Good Crowd
Witnesses Event
A large crowd gathered on the Ne
braska athletic field about 2:30 p. m.
to witness the championship football
game between the1 Seniors and Fresh
men. 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. Stone made the downs.

Gym Team Try-Outs Shortly
The first of the gym team try-outs
will be held shortly after vacation
in the exercises on the horizontal and
parallel bars.
This year the heavy gymnasium
class is larger than ever before, hav
ing about thirty members. The In
creased Interest Is probably the re
sult of the Western Collegiate Gym
meet, which was held here last year.
The abundance of good material here
makes the prospects bright for a
prize gym team.
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
board will also make arrangements
for the Interfraternity basketball
schedule at this time.

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.

Harvey W. Hess, of the Rhetoric

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.
Only eighty tickets are validated, so
as to assure of plenty of elbow room
for everybody. Scott's, orchestra will
furnish the music and refreshments
will be served between the dances.
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. Admission 25 cents.
The production which is being di
rected by Walter Herbert, '18, and
Robert Gantt, the football coach of
Temple high school, will be given
for the benefit of the athletic fund. 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.
