IN THE WORLD Of SPORT
Members of Second Team Re
memberedfourteen Play
ers Awarded Sweaters
Eager Elected.
The Athletic Board hold its regular
monthly meeting lost night and trans
acted considerable routine business. In
the absence of President Lees, Vice
President Ringer presided.
There has been some anxiety on the
part of members of the second team as
to whether they were to be given
sweaters. All this was put to rest when
the matter came up before the board at
last night's meeting. In consideration
for their conscientious work the fol
lowing men were voted sweaters: Cap
tain Newton, Victor Englehart Frazler,
Walton, Myers, Scott, Hummel, Marsh,
Hutchlns, Hlckel, Melllrk, Morris,
Brlggs and Simodymus.
Mr. Earl Eager was elected assist
ant baseball manager. Mr Eager Is
a Junior and has always taken an In
terest in athletics, having played three
years with the football Bquad. He has
t had considerable business oxperlenco,
which will aid him In the discharge of
his duties.
Many matters pertaining to open
dates of the football season were dis
cussed and several questions decided
It was voted to play the Haskell In
dians on October 17, providing arrongc
ments with other institutions do not
interfere. Minnesota may schedule a
game and for this reason the dates for
several games can not be arranged at
present.
Nebraska has not scheduled a game
with Missouri as yet. Correspondence
is being carried on with Denver Uni
versity. The latter Is anxious to meet
our team and It is probable that our
men will play In Denver on October 10.
South Dakota desires to play at Lin
coln and Manager Buckner was given
.authority to schedule games for Octo
ber dates with one or more of the fol
lowing schools: South Dakota, Ames
and Grlnnell.
For several years a practice game
has been played with Doane College,
and although Nebraska has rolled up
large scores the games have afforded
good opportunities to try the candi
dates. It seems at present, however,
that Doane feels that her reputation
can not bo benefitted by a game with
the University. For this reason it Is
very probable that Nebraska will play
ono of tho numerous colleges which are
Ctv very anxious to meet our team, and It
Is difficult to understand how we are
going to Iobo anything by the action of
the Croto Institution.
The matter of permitting the second
team to join the State League was left
to the football committee wth power
to act. It Is believed that Buch a move
would arouse lntoiest which would re
sult in the development of better foot
ball material.
Comments on Satnrday Game
The crowd that attended the basket
ball game Saturday was hardly all
that could be expected In point of num
bers, but those that were there did
their beBt to make unjlor the absentees
by being unusually demonstrative.
Perhaps the smallnoss of tho crowd
was due to the fact that many ex
pected a walk-away for tho Indians,
and preferred to Btay away rather
than see their own team defeated. If
bucIi was the case, the motlvo can
hardly be considered commendable. On
such an occasion a large crowd of sup
portcts Is more necessary than at any
other time, and if there had been more
Interest taken In the game perhaps
the result wotlld have been different.
Haskell certainly sends forthT a
strong aggregation and It Is much to
the credit of the Varsity that they
held them down to the score they did.
Our men for the most part lacked ex
perjnee and considering the fact that
It was their first big game, they con
ducted themselves very creditably.
The Redrawn made a very favorable
showing with their blue regulation
suits and were quite a contrast to the
Nebraska men, who as yet are not
equiped. New suits have been ordered
and will arrive soon (-
As yet the schedule is not complete,
but will be published Boon. Three dif
ferent trips are under discussion, and
it is undecided which will be taken.
A new and pleasing feature of the
basket ball game Saturday night from
tne spectator's point of view, was the
ease with which the crowd could keep
In touch with the progress of the
game. The score was kept In large
figures on n large blackboard where
everyone could see It. Heretofore the
score has been kept on a small board
at the sldo of the room where only
a few could read It and many would
attend the game and not even know
the final score.

ing. A general social time was In

Choice of Pictures
J'hero 1b some speculation among
University pooplo as to tho result of
tho voting at tho art gallery Saturday
night. Of tho six pictures voted on
"Tho Marshes," by Lucy Conant, and
"Looking Up Tho River," by E. H.
Barnard, were tho choice of tho ma
jority. Whether both of these pictures
will be bought or not Is yet a quos
tlon. Negotiations are being carried
on looking toward the purchaso of at
least ono of them. It has boon sug
gested that tho painting by Blrgo
Harrison, "Tho Howard Bridge." bo
purchased Instead ofthoso named by
the crowd Saturday night. The reason
for this la that tho night scene of tho
bridge was a favorite last year, but
could nol bo tpvirhased by the associa
tion and a large number voted for It
again this year.
Several pictures have been sold
from the association, and will remain
In the city. Besides tho "Adoration of
the Shepherds," which is to bo placed
in tho pro-cathedral, the following
have been disposed of to residents of
Lincoln: "Plymouth Pines," by Mtb.
A H. BarrowB, "Early Autumn," by
C. H. Davis, "Flcher's Cottage," by
Louise Wood, "Chrysanthemums," by
Sara L. Hayden and two pictures by
Miss Cora Parker that wero not catalogued.
