A Layman's Observation on tho Politi
cal and Social Condition of Europe.
From Yale.
Editor Nebraskan: JuBt now at the
close of the football season, it may not
bo out of place for a western collegian
to pass a few observations upon the
national college game as seen and
studied in one of the eastern schools.
Of course it would bo presumptuous
for an embryonic theolog to pose as a
sporting editor or critic, but we all
have opinions on these things.
Wo westerners are apt to look upon
the east teams as semi-professional,
to a greater extent than tho western,
but I have been surprised on that point.
If Yale is typical of eastern football,
and I am told that It Is, we can learn
many lessons from tho east. Yale has
the Bystem of graduate coaches, not a
cent of salary being paid for services.
The head coach is called field coach,
and considers It a groat honor to be
chosen for that position. He has charge
of tho team as a whole upon the field.
Then there are on tho field, especially
during tho last half of the season, men
who Imvo "starred" at different posi
tions In years past, and they train the
men In those positions, and certainly
do fln? work. As an Instance, Hlnkey,
a star end of eomo years ago, was hero
tho last three or four weeks of the
season, and as a result, what was
thought to bo Yale's weakest points,
the end positions, wero filled with men
who outplnyed Princeton's fast men,
nnd Harvard's as well. Of course, west
ern teams can not hope for such help
as this for some years to come, and
are compelled to pay for efficient coach
ing. Again, the faculty here are very ex
acting upon football men. They must
carry full work and must do better
than aerage work or they are apt to
be taken from the squad. This Is done
with one or more men nearly every
year.
To Bee the Yale field would be to a
Nebraskan either a treat or a surprise,
and yet In some ways It does not com
pare with our own. The gridiron is a
blue-grasB sod, and is now little the
worse for wear, after all the season's
games have been played on It. The
bleachers with the new additions, ac
commodate 30,000 people. They are
built entirely around the field and are
thirty-five tiers of seats, but they are
built at a steep slant and afford a good
view from any part. There is not a
foot of roofing, bo that the bleachers
aro weather-beaten and black and do
not present the tasty appearance of our
new grandstand.
There is not much to be said about
the Yale-Harvard game, so far as the
playing Itself Is concerned. The score
scarcely gives the full difference be
tween the tvo teams as to power, speed
and knowledge of the game.
But the ( rowd and the organ1 zed
rooting were eiy i it t re t.ting to us
Every persou present was a Yale or a
Harvnrd loyalist- Just helore the loams
can1." on the field. Vale gae the old
"yell" once for Yale, then once for
Harvard and Harvard chetied, then
Harvaul returned the greeting and
Yale chec rt d. It was a gieat, friendly,
or at leaBt gentlemanly, challenge. Har
vard, If anything, had the bint loot
ing, and they vised it most, for when
their team was on the defensive, which
was practically all the time, they
cheered continuously. The motit effec
tice cheering was in song, the favorites
being Harvard's "Veritas," and "Mar
seillaise," and Yale's "Boola, Boola,"
song.
We are very proud of Nebraska's rec
ord for the year, though somewhat dis
appointed in the result of the Thanks
giving day game, whatever tho cause
maybe. Nebraska, it seems to me, is
not as high In the estimation of the
"Big Nine" as sho would have been
had Bhe done the Michigan act In one
or two games. Yet tho record Is grati
fying, an average of 21 to 0 for nine
games, a record which no team of any
standing can show for a season's work.
The above was written by D. E. Tho
mas, '02, who is now taking work at
Yale.

Barrett wore appointed judges to
weigh tho arguments, but their de
cision was not necessary, so not ren
dered, because Professor Caldwell final

the wrong Bide of the fence and pro
ceeded to climb and over and help out
his opponent. Together they succeed
