Many raise the question "Where is this money p,. It must be kept in mind that the athletic department is self-supporting, and that football is its greatest, source of revenue. The three greatest items of expense on the department's budget are visit ing team guarantees, team travel, and equipment. Guaranteed 50-50 Split. As mentioned above every team that plnys in Nebraska is guaran teed a 50-50 split on the gate re ceipts. When Nebraska visits an other school, they too, ge.t a split of this nature, but out of this must come traveling expenses. This eats away the profit. It is this reason that forces the schedule makers to try to get a home and home contract when arranging intesec tional games. Salaries of the coaching staff and others connected with the de partment are charged against the various accounts football, basket ball, track, intramural, etc. Here are some expense items listed in the athletic department's financial report for 1929: Team travel (all sports $25,868.64 Guarantees to visiting teams (all sports 85,162.54 Equipment (all sports) ..12,331.12 Care of football field and coliseum floor 3,698.10 Repair of stadium seats 2,743.10 New field equipment .... 912.98 Advertising 3,906.29 TJckets, policing, etc 3,019.53 Officials' fees, expenses 3,900.44 Band trips 839.10 Medical care end supplies 2,700.36 General travel schedule, association meetings .

The office was to be located on the first floor of the library. A tackling machine proved a "thing of amusement and joy" to the Husker squad in the fall of 1901. Delta Upsllon fraternity had es tablished new headquarters at 1436 S street, back In 1902. A new talk was laid in front of Chemistry (now Pharmacy) Hall twenty-nine years ago. If Interested in Seeniing a Teaching; Position Call On Teachers Service Bureau 60S Terminal Bldg. "Originators ef Ftrional Service" The Fear That By Willa Cather anil Editor's not: This Is the sscond Installment of a story which was published in the Sombrero In 18B5. The first installment appeared yes terday. "Bur-r-!" said Strike, as he handed his sweater over to a sub stitute and took his last pull at a lemon, "this wind is awful; I never felt anything so cold; it's a raw, wet cold that goes clear "into the marrow of a fellow's bones. I don see where it comes from; there no wind outside the ropes appar entiy." "The winds blow in such strange directions here," said Horton, pick. ing up a straw and dropping it, "It goes down with force enough to break several camels backs." "Ugh! it's as though the firma ment had sprung a leak and the winds were sucking in from the other side. "Shut your mouths, both you," said Reggie, with an em phatic oath. "You will have them all scared to death; there's a panic now, that's what's the matter, one of those quiet, stupid panics that are the worst to manage. Laugh, Freddie, laugh hard; get up some enthusiasm come you, shut up, if you can t do any better than that, Start the yell, Strike, perhaps that will fetch them." A weak yell that sounded like an echo arose from the field, and the Marathon men outside the ropes caught it up and cheered till the air rang. This seemed to rouse the men on the field, and they got to their places with considerable energy. Reggie gave an exultant cry, as the western men soon lost the ball, and his men started it north and kept steadily gaining They were within ten yards of the goal, when suddenly the ball rose serenely out of a mass of strug gling humanity and flew back twenty, forty, sixty, eighty yards toward the southern goal! But the halt was versed in his occupation he ran across and stood under the ball, waiting for it with out' stretched arms. It seemed to Hor ton that the ball was all day in falling; it was right over him and yet it seemed to hang back from him, like Chum-Chum when she was playing with him. With an im patient oath he ground his teeth together and bowed his body for ward to hold it with his breast and even his knees if need be, wating with strength, and eager ness enough in his arms to burst the ball to shreds. The crowd shouted with delight, but suddenly caught its breath; the ball fell into his arms, between them, through them .and rolled on the ground at his feet. Still he stood there with his face raised and his arms stretched upward in an at titude ridiculously suggestive of prayer. The men rushed fiercely around him shouting and reviling his arms dropped like lead to his side, and he stood without moving a muscle, and in his face there was a look that a man might have who had seen what he loved best go down to death through his very arms, and had not been able to close them and save. Reggie came up with his longest oaths on his lip, but when he saw Horton's face he checked himself and said with that sweetness of temper that al ways came to him when he saw the black bottom of despair. "Keep quiet, fellows, Horton's all right, only he is a bit nervous." Horton moved for the first time on the little captain, "You can say anything else you like, Reggie, but if you say I am scared I'll knock you down." "No, Fred, I don't mean that; we must hang together, man, every one of us, there are powers enough against us," Reggie said sadly. The men looked at each other with startled faces. So long as Reggie swore there was hope, but when he became gentle all was lost. In another part of the field an other captain fell on his fullback's neck and cried, "Thomas, my son, how did you do it? Morrison in his palmiest days never made a better lift than that." "I-I didn't do it, I guess; some of the other fellows did. Towmen, I think." "Not much I didn't," said Tow didn't know what you were doing, didn't know what yo uwere doing. You did it, though; I saw it go right up from your foot." "Well, it may be," growled the "Injun" half, "but when I make plays like that I'd really like to be conscious of them. I must be get tin gto be a darned excitable indi vidual if I can punt eighty yards and never know it." "Heavens! how cold it is. This is a great game, though; I don't believe they'll score." "I don t; they act like dead men; I would say their man Horton was sick or drunk, if all the others i didn't act just like him." The "Injuns" lost the ball again l "l"i--- ireS .1 ifVit-:,:'":.'!'. 7S- W f Marie 'V-'v, Dressier Wallace ' Beery Will fflv you the happlet time of your threatre-fo-ln life! ttinandEi;.'

As they were taking him off the field, time was called for the first half. Reggie's trlends and several of his profes sors broke through the gang of policemen and rushed up to him. Reggie stepped in front of his men and spoke to the first man who came up, "If you say one word or asK one question 1 11 quit the field. Keep away from me and my men Let us .alone." The paleness that snowed through the dirt on Reg' gie s face alarmed the visitors, and they went away as quickly as they had come. Reggie and his men lay down and covered them selves with their overcoats, and lay there shuddering under the icy wind that sucked down upon them. The men were perfectly quiet and each one crept off by nimseir. Kven the substitutes who brought them lemons and water did not talk much; they had neither disparagement nor encour agement to offer; they sat around ana shivered like the rest. Horton his his face on his arm and lay UKe one stunned. He muttered the score. 18 to 0, but he did not feel the words his lips spoke, nor com prehend them. Like most dreamy, imaginative men, Horton was not very much at home- in college. Sometimes in his loneliness he tried to draw near to the average man, and be on a level with him, and in so doing made a consum mate fool of himself, as dreamers always do when thev try to get themselves awake. He was awk ward and shy among women, silent and morose among men. He was tolerated in the societies because he could write good poetry, and in the clubs because he could play football. He was very proud of his accomplishments as a halfback, for they made him seem like other men. However ornamental and useful a large imagination and sensitive temperament may be to a man of mature years, to a young man they are often very like a deformity which he lone-s to hide. He wondered what the captain would think of him and groaned. He feared Reggie as much as he adored him. Reggie was one of those men who, by the very prac ticality of their intellects, astonish the world. He was a glorious man for a college. He was brilliant, adaptable, and successful; yet all his brains he managed to cover up by a scalp of tow hair, parted very carefully in the middle, and his iron strength was generally very successfully disguised bv a verv dudish exterior. In short, he pos sessed the one thing which is greater than genius, the faculty of ciotning genius in such boundless good nature that it is offensive to nobody. Horton felt to a painful degree his inferiority to him in most things, and it wasnot pleas ant to him to lose ground in the one thing in which he felt they could meet on an eaual footinc Horton turned over and looked up at the leaden sky, feeling the wind sweep into his eyes and nostrils. He looked about him and saw the other men all lying down with their heads covered, as though they were trying to get away from the awful cold and the sense of Reggie's reproach. He wondered what was the matter with them; whether they had been drugged or mesmerized. He tried to remem ber something in all the books he had read that would fit the case, but his memory seemed as cold and dazed as the rest of him; he only remembered some hazy Greek, which read to the effect that the gods sometimes bring madness upon those they wish to destrby. And here was another proof that the world was going wrong it was not a normal thing for him to remember any Greek. He was glad when at last he heard Reggie's voice calling the men together; he went slowly up to him and said rather feebly, "I say, a little brandy wouldn't hurt us, would it? I am so awfully cold. I don't know what the devil is the matter with me, Reggie, my arms are so stiff I can't use 'em at all." Reggie handed him a bottle from his grip, saying briefly, "It can't make things any worse."

They seldom said anything, and the cap tain was Leyond coaxing cr swear ing; he only gave his signals in a voice as hollow as if It came from an empty church. His men got the ball a dozen times, but they always lost as soon as they got it, or, wnen iney naa woraea it down to one goal the "Injun" would punt it back to the other. The very spectators sat still and silent, feeling that they were see ing something strange and unnat ural. Every now and then some "Injun" would make a run, and a Marathon man would dash up and run beside him for a long distance without ever catching him, but with his hands hanging at his side. People asked the physicians in the audience what was the matter; but they shook their heads. (To be Continued Tomorrow.) Three Ohio Chapters Adopt System of Hiring Preceptor. COLUMBUS, O. Three frater nities at the University of Ohio will introduce the graduate ad visor plan. This system provides for a graduate to reside in the chapter house and provide tutorial service and advice on questions of administration, finances, house management and activities. The fraternities inaugurating this plan are Delta Tc i Delta. Delta Chi and Phi Delta Theta. The Phi Delts have already em ployed Richard S. Clark, a Phi Beta Kappa and an honor graduate at the University of Ohio. Clark will serve in an advisory capacity ana win receive a regular stipend lor bis services. ' First Attempt in Ohio. Though similar plans are in use at other universities, no such sys tem has ever before been at tempted at Ohio State. Members of Delta Chi are staunch approvers of this plan and are now attempting to find a suit able graduate to fiir the position. Dr. Samuel Renshaw, professor of psychology, serves as Delta Tau Delta preceptor and gives counsel on scores of chapter problems al ready. His services are given vol untarily. In several other Delta Tau Delta chapters the preceptor is a recent alumni member who establishes a residence at the lodge. Dean Approves Plan. Fred J. MiUigan, assistant dean of men, is a firm believer in the system, and urges other fraterni ties to take it ud. National fraternity officials of all other Greek letter organizations are certain to make use of the graduate advisor plan, in the near future, Milligan predicted. Length of chapel sessions in the university was extended from thirty to forty minutes in 1901. They were held each morning.
