BADGERS WON'T PLAY
Chances for a Game With Wisconsin
Next Soason Slim Kansas
Game WJU, probably be
Playjid jfiere.
Tho chances of a football gainC
with Wisconsin d' not appear very
good just now. While negotiations
are still going on with that institu
tion and thorcstili seems to be a
chanco of scheduling a game tho
prospeot are not bright.
Anevonlng paper is authority for
the following:
"Diplomatic relations between
the University of Nobraska and Wis
consin have been strained almost to
tho verge uf cracking and It may bo
that negotiations may do at an end
for years to come as tho result of the
Badgers violating u written memoran
dum guaranteeing Nebraska a foot
ball uame during the season of 1902.
Three consecucivo letters from tho
Oornhuskor management were ignored
and then Manager Kilpatrick wrote
that tho only date that had been left
open for "Nebraska had beeu tilled by
taking on Michigan."
"Chairman Wyer of tiie Nebraska
nthlotic hoard has in his possession a
memorandum signed in Manngor
Kilpatrick's hand writing guarantee
ing Nebraska u gamo some tlmo not
earlier tiian the third Saturday in
October, at either Madison or Mil
waukee. This agreement was sign
ed riht after the game at Milwau
kee last fall. Chairmau Wyer will
attempt to seuuro a game with the
Badgers for the season of liKM on tho
Rtrength of this agreement, although
all negotiations to this end have
boon failures so far. If nothing can
bo done with Manager Kilpatrick.
an appeal will bo taken to the ath
letic management of Wisconsin; if
that fails, to the faculty, and if
tljat fails, to the intercollogate
board of control."
Tho indilcolnent oflored to Kansas
to. play in Lincoln will probably re
sult in a jramc hero November 8.
,TJie matter In desputo has been
il .tj.'.tln ihulrmon of tho athletic
;board8 of tho two universities for
.adjustment. The contest which it Is
.thought will bo held with Colorado
at Boulder is not doQnltely settled
on yet but the dato will be October

MENTS TN THE MILITARY,
DEPARTMENT.
According to tho orders given to
the battalion at its last drill
Captain Sruoko expeots to appoint
tho officers for the next, year BOiely on
their merits. In order to Hud the
must proficient men .in tho battalion"
.competive drills will bo held from
ttnio to time. Not only will this
,nw plan bo inaugurated hut here-
.alterlt rte tended vta.jcJiopso, taMeppL
.curpurms ivii ,liju atiwuuiuuru ciusb
and tho sergeants from tho Junior
class entirely. Tho commissonod
offices will therefore naturally fall
to tho seniors.
For tho past few years it has been
oustoirary to Bpond two or more
weeks In finding tho men best fitted
for the positions of corporals. In or
dor to do away with this loss or tlmo
in choosing theao men. drill-downs
will bo hold on tho last drill night of
evory month in which all tho fresh
men In tho battalion will partici
pate. Thoso who are found to havo
tho best record at tho end of tho
year will bo appointed corporals.
Tho appointment of porgeants will
be made n tho same manner, drill
downs being held to find tho most
competont mon. In this competition
for sorgeanoies, only sopohomores will
take part. Sophomores who are this
year sergeants will be expected to
compete in thejr class. The object
of this Is to bring about some uni
formity in tho system uf oflioes.
By the adoption of the for cgoinu
olaceit is hoped to place tho promo
tions in the battalion
on a strictly meritori
ous basis. Furthermore tho new
plan proposes to limit, the academic
classes to certain oillces. Thus cor
porals will bo chosen entirely from
the sopohonioro class, sergeants from
the junior and commissions given to
none but seniors.
For the past few years men havo
often been appointed to commission
ed ofiices in tho battalion when tody
lucked very much of being seniors.
And not at all aide rent in the other
ofiices. Because of this disregard Of
tho class to whicti tho cadet belongs
It has beeen often found that iio
slights tho academic work and de
votes his time mainly to the bat
talion. In as much as in all mili
tary colleges It is absolutely neces
sary that tho cadots attain a trood
standing in their classes It is expected
that tbo samo will bo done in the
University of Nebraska. By making
eligibility to commissions depend in
part on the amount of credit a stu
dent has lu the university It will
tend to make all tho members of tho
battalion more careful in keeping
up with their work.

TIIE STATE LIBRARY COM
MISSION. In an address beforo tho colloca
tion yesterday Mhs Flora Bullock, a
graduate of the University explained
at some length the state library com
mission whose aim, she said, is to
help ill libraries and elevate tho
whole trend of leading. Miss Bullock
Is now secretary of tho commission
and hor conneotion with the work
makes her an authority.
In Massachusetts, sho said, there
are only three towns without librar
ies, in Nebraska there are hardly two
dozen libraries and only a half dozen
worthy of the name. Tho state has
not placed in tho bands of tho com
mission any substantial means of
founding libraries. The commission
intends jtosc labor that caph citizen
of the state can satisfy his Tovo
good reading. Ono. purpose of the
commission Is to teaoh the right use
and appreclatloaof good literature in
tho public sohools. . . .
Miss Bullock: declared .tUa.tr society
must protect' Itself oyI furnishing
profitable reading as a reading pooplo
are moro useful arid happy than any
other. It is t)io business of the com
mission to bo constantly on tho alert
to help establish llbralres and Im
prove thoso already established. In
connection with tho associations of
other states tho Nebraska commission
will Issue a small list of now books
and ofTor suggestions for selecting
them. Eventually ft chnln of associa
tions will bo established.
Tho Idea that the traveling library ,
is an ond In Itself, she declared to bo
a mistaken ono, It is merely a means
toward establishing a permanent li
brary. Sho urged on tho students tho
necessity of their assistance In rais
ing tho standard of education and
quoted from cx-Chanoollor Canficld to
the ofTect that there Is no groator
forco whloh tends toward public good
than tho public library.
