To e Daily.-Nebraskan V 1 Athletics Take On New Aspect In 1905-1907 ""ESS ic ' Year Span RASKETBALL SEASON IS MOST SUCCESSFUL ONE VII (Editor's NoU) This is the venth chapter of an li,toricl resume of Nebraska nth letici which has been compiled by a Bember of The Daily Nebraskan .ports tff. A chapter of this ac count will appear in each issue of The Daily Nebraskan for tbe re minder of the school year. By Jack Elliott Quite a change had come over athletics at Nebraska during the r 1905 to 1907. One of the ma jor changes was the fact that the number of years for a man to parti cipate in athletics was now limited to three years. Not many years be fore all that was necessary for a man to take part in any athletic event at Nebraska was that he be registered in school, and even that at times did not make much differ ence. Before 1906 the athlete at Ne braska could play football, basket ball, or whatever he wished, as long as he liked, thus making the school of that day a semi-pro athletic school. But in 1906 this rule was changed. The ruling read that the student must be a full time student registered in the University and he must be a good student and able to do justice to his work if he wanted to take part in University athletics. An other part of the new ruling was that the student must have made a certain number of hours before he was permitted to play. This meant that first year athletes were no more. A man had to go to Nebraska one year before he could participate in varsity athletics. Change in Athletic Type These rules are still in force today and proved to be a great step in building up athletics in colleges and universities. The old time profes sional was barred forever and with it a new type of athletes came to Nebraska. They were college men who took part in athletics as a side line and not as an objective in col lege. The new athlete did not play for victory alone but for his school, the old professional athlete at the universities played for victory alone, and if he didn't win he lost his job. His backers and supporters would not support him if he had a losing team. This spirit has gone with the old time football and the football men of today take part in the various athletic events with the University spirit. The students are behind their team with the true college spirit. Interest in athletics was getting stronger every year at Nebraska and the football games were starting to draw enormous crowds. Baseball was also drawing huge crowds to the , (Continued sn Page Two.) DELEGATES IIARE REPORTS Oil IIEET Margaret Dunlap and1 Helen Ander son Tell of National Convention of A. W. S.

Goddard of the Univer sity of Wyoming, who is to address the last meeting of the World Forum for this year, on "Thinking in Terms of Modern Science" at noon today, possesses the unusual combination of scholarly research and intimate con tact with student life.

Grummann, director of the School of Fine Arts, in a lecture on drama given over KFAB Tuesday evening. Eugene O'Neil's play, "Beyond the Horizon" was the subject of his talk. It" is the forceful drama of a New England family in which the father is practical, the mother a dreamer, and-ihe lives of their two sons, one practical, the other a dreamer. Bch sons fall in love with the same rrirl, and it is not until after years of suf fering, that the dreamer finally looks forward to realizing his hpes beyond the horizon of his earthly sorrow. "O'Neil takes the side of the dreamer, and gives us the impression that thU character is beating his wings against his cage, longing to be ovt fc th oien.

A prominent speaker is being secured, and will be announced by tomorrow. A new idea is being used to make the banquet more popular with the Greek-letter oiganizations. Each fraternity will have a separate table at the affair, and as all fraternity tables have been closed, a definite check can be kept on the number from each fraternity present at the banquet. Most of the houses are put ting the tickets on the house bills to insure a good attendance, and this practice is recommended to all. Tickets Sell at One Dollar Tickets are to be turned in by Thursday, according to Merle Jones. A more definite announcement will be printed in tomorrow's paper. Tickets are priced at one dollar, and are on sale by all fraternity stew ards. A special feature of the evening will be the one-man speaking ar rangement, to allow students to leave the banquet by 7:30 o'clock. The (Continued on Page Three.)

O'Neil chose to depict the common life of his time, life which he had ob served first hand." His works lacks spontaneity, in the opinion of Frof. Grummann, but possesses many charms and sterling worth, which justifies its as the choice for the Pul itzer Prize award. Prof. Grummann also discussed the dangers which arise and surround the present school of authorship at Harv ard. "No set of rules and no course in technical training will make up for the lack of practical stage training first." he pointed out, and cited the fact that Sophocles and many of the ancient dramatist, Shakespeare and Moliere, all knew the igo well.. Prof, Grummann also spoke on the dangers of censorship. "Censors," he said," separate the audience from the artist, and often the critic, through preconceived opinion, gives sui:h a levitw to the work i to in fluence a large body of "people, knJ totallf ruin the plav itcelf."

LIFE OF JOHN RAY REVIEWED IH TALK Professor Fitzpatrick Is Speaker At Meeting of Botanical Seminar Prof. T. J. Fitzpatrick of the Bcs sey Hall Library spoke at the Bot anical Seminar 217 at Bessey Hsll on Tuesday. His subject was "The Life and Works of John Ray." John Ray was born in Essex Coun ty, England, in 1627, and died in 1703, twe years before the birth of Linnaeus, the great scientist who.e works those of John Ray prefaced. Ray was educated at Cambridge, andj was a fellow of the Royal Society. He wrote on various subjects of nat ural science, both in the soological and the botanical fields. He was one of the earliest scientists to attempt to make a classification of animal; and plants, and one of the very first to give a satisfactory definition of "species." It was John Ray who & vided the flowering plants into1, the classification of diocotyledons and monocotyledons, an achievement ir itself great enough to warrant the scientist his share of fame. Jfc?

PRICE 5 CENTS The real prizes at stake Publica- tion Board memberships were won with a decisive vote, the "Slippery Seven" mustering 196 votes for Ber sten, 195 for Miller, and 193 for Jeffries. Dorothy Nott, independent woman candidate running with the bacfring of Theta Sigma Phi, wo men's honorary journalistic society, received 90 votes, and Tom Elliott 74 in the senior Pub-Board race won by Bergsten with his 196 votes. The surprising feature of the whole race was the poor showing of the in dependent "barb" vote. After the Campus Pulse agitation a few days ago atrainst fraternities in general. and tiie sponsoring of a "barb" re volt by D. N., a big vote was ex pected. Dewey Nemetz, the author of the series of letters and himself a candidate for the Student Council from the college of arts and sciences received 16 votes to 23 for Morton another initeppndent, and 132 for George Gessman an "Oily Six" can didate and 148 for Charles Bruce, the "Slippery Seven" candidate. Davenport Draws Large Vote The biggest single vote of the day was cast for Robert Davenport who received 708 votes as Senior-at-large candidate for the Student Council. His running mate on the "SlippeTy Seven" ticket, Dwight Wallace, re ceived 628. The next biggest vote was cast in the womens' section of the Senior- at-large contest for Student Council. Elva Erickson got 619 votes and Buth French received 554.

PHARMACISTS WILL HAVE MA'riY EXHIBITS Display Features Used in Special Week Will Be of Three Specific Types The exhibits for Pharmacy Night, May 5, by the College of Pharmacy, will be of particular interest to three classes of people; those who want to get well, those who are concerned in keeping well, and those who are try ing to make themselves look well. These look well products, common ly known as cosmetics, will be shown in several novel exhibits. One, in particular, will be the compounding of colognes, perfumes, and toilet waters. The commercial products in this line and those compounded by the students will be for the inspec tion of visitors. CoBmetics were originally used by the feminine members of society, but women have made such a success with them that men are adapting a num ber of them for their own use. Men are becomine ouite as fastidious over their favorite shaving cream and talc as women are in securing the exact tint in rouge. Interesting Exhibits The eet well, and keep well pro ducts, which have to do with serious iride of pharmacy, will have a num ber of interesting exhibits, also.
