The Haskell Indians won easily from the Varsity Saturday night by a Bcore of 35 to 18. Captain Hewitt and his men put up a good game, but were, un able to sucdessfujly cope with thcBwlft and skiltful Indians. The second team of the Varsity defeated the High School AO to 7. The Indian team was for the most part made tip of old football players, who showed the same swiftness that has won them such great renown on the gridiron. Archiquette rallls and Oliver are all known as football stars, and they had evidently made up their minds to pay back Nebraska for the crushing defeat that attended their last visit to Lincoln. Oliver especially showed groat ability and to him Is due in great part the success of the team. Elliott Btarted the scoring and In the r first minute of play threw two goals. Nobraska supporters grow enthusiastic und began to look for an easy victory, but the Redmen got In their work and threw eight goals and a foul before Nebraska could score again. Ferguson throw another goal and Llllott a goad and a foul before the half ended. Has kell threw two more goals and a foul.

The exhibition is regarded as the moBt successful In the history of the asso ciation, and the last evening brought out an unuBiially large crowd to enjoy the pictures for tne last time. The program consisted of several ad dresses by prominent members of the association. President F. M. Hall, In Introducing the speakers, said that the success of the art exhibit was due largely to tho substantial support of the faculty of the university and es pecially to the efforts of Miss Cora Parker, a former resident of Lincoln. The paintings on exhibition, ho said, were valued at about $75,000, and were It not for the fire-proof gallery to which the association had access, and to the responsible men and women who were backing the enterprise, no such collection of valuable pictures could have been Bccured. Chancellor Andrews was the first speaker called upon. He congratulat ed the community on its opportunity to see and enjoy a colection of the beBt art that America can produce.
