Nebraska’s liquor control law forbids the brewers or whole salers from having any finan cial interest in the selection of licensees. It places the selection in the hands of public licensing officials. These officials have the right to examine, under oath, any applicant for a retail license or renewal. The board may authorize its agent or attorney to act in obtaining any desired information. Further, the law provides that the local governing body must consider every signed com plaint from any citizen of a violation of the law or any ob jectionable conduct on the part of an applicant. A new license may be denied or a renewal re fused if there is cause. This Committee urges you to cooperate by bringing law vio lations to the attention of li censing bodies.

The team’s record for the season shows 11 losses and 8 wins, including the 9 losses an 5 wins within the Southern Intercollegiate Atheletic Con ference. Getting off to a bad start this year, the Blue and Gold whipped up into winning stride shortly before the close of the season and revenged a num ber of their earlier defeats. The addition of Jesse Thompson and James Harvey, both nat ives of Nashville, to the squad in early February, greatly sha rpened the Bulldog’s attack. Bearing the brunt through the recent Fisk victories were Thompson and Harvey, Henry Jones, Los Angeles, Calif.; Herbert Gollier, Nashville Tenn.; and Jesse Henderson, Amsterdam, New York. The Louisville game closed the col lege career for the squad’s sole senior, Inman Moon, Oklaho ma City, who is a veteran of two seasons. trainers Won’t Ten Popular supposition has it that the number of rattles borne by a snake indicates its age in years.
