It was unfortunate it was bo wet, for
we might have had a celebration.
Considering the dlfllculties under
which people labored tho rooting was
good.
The Chicago papers seem inclined to
resent Nebraska's rise in the athletic
world.
As usual the vanquished had ex
planations to make with a big "if"
standing in front.
The red light still shone bright and
beautiful upon tho tower. The O still
remained at the bottom.
There have been fewer complaints
made as to tho Bmoking in the grand
stand than thore were a week ago.
Nebraska now takes rank among the
best of then. If she was an eastern
school tho papers would be full of her
doings.
The paper has suffered recently as to
tho authenticity of news and its com
pleteness by the neglect or carelessness
of reporters. Too great caution can
not be observed by one who stands re
sponsible for an assignment given
them.
The announcement that Harvard
University will confer tho degree of
Bachelor of Arts at the end of three
years' study, beginning with the class
of 1905, may be regarded as a signifi
cant sign of the times. It is reported
that Columbia University Is also con
sidering tho advisability of a similar
shortening Its own course, concern
ing this change the Harper's Weekly
says:
"It has been growing more and more
obvious yearly to those who observe
conditions that a four years' course in
college, devoted wholly to the study of
purely academic subjects, Is at least a
year too long, and, in tho case of
young men who are to embark upon a
professional career, results In a very
material Iosb of time without any cor
responding advantage to be gained.
The action of the Harvard authorities
Is a step in tho right direction, but le
It any more than a step? Are there
not yet other steps to bo taken by
which tho young roan who proposed to
become a doctor, or a lawyer, or a
forbidden from taking part In the re
cent Inaugural parade, and have now
been notified that they mimt sit apart
from tho men during chapel exercises.

run of twenty-five yards through the

NOTES OF THE GAME.
Everybody got in the swim on Sat
urday. When asked how It felt one player
Bald, "Why, like mud, of course!"
Very few peopl had the ermlty to
roost on telephone poles Saturday.
Tho crowd had to be good natured
on Saturday. And, as a matter of
fail, everybody was.
The players have come to the con
clusion that they will not hae to go
to Europe for a mud bath.
The windows of main hall were every
one filled with their quota of lookers
on Saturday. They were dead anxious
to see the game, but when it came to
paying their money to get In, that was
a different matter.
When the Knox players appeared on
the field Saturday, a young lady In the
grand stand was heard to exclaim: "Oh,
Bee that bald headed player." It was
her first game and Bhe hod never seen
football head gear.
The stand that was used for the sale
of- reserved seats on the gridon was
built in the wood shops.
"Stub" Crandle comes down to near
ly overy one of our big games. He says
Omaha is not big enough to hold him
then.
The people over the state are taking
more interest In football than ever be
fore. Springfield, a village In Sarpy
county, sent down a delegation of six
to see the Knox game.

Chancellor Aidrews Talks.
Chancellor Andrews occupied tho
convocation period Friday with a dis
cussion of some facts and incidents
gathered on his last trip to the south.
He considered the problem of the black
man tho moBt Interesting problem met
with there. The negro remalnB an In
definable quantity. Even the people who
live among them do not understand
them.
Inquiries carried on among all class
showed that in the larger cities tho
young blacks of both sexes are going
chief reason for this Ib that they can
not get liquor. This is a point In
which the south is in advance of the
north. Liquor laws, wherever any such
exist, are carried out to the letter. This
is of the greatest conceivable good to
the blacks of both sexs, as they are ex
cessive consumers of liquor when they
can get it.
From an economic standpoint the
negroes, as well as the whites, are pro
gressing. For a long period immediate
ly following the war all classes took
advantage of the credit system to a
ruinous extent. Crops were pledged
and traded out at the stores before
they were harvested and farms were
