Yesterday's Ibsuo contnlned some
facts about college spirit which stu
dents should not fall to road. That the
University of Nebraska Is Badly In nejMl
of It Is admitted by all. The question
yet unanswered Is, How Bhall this bo
remedied? He who solves this prob
lem will have accomplished a con
siderable feat.
OO
Potty thievery seems to be on the in
crease in the University again.
Whether It Is merely one of the numer
ous epidemics now prevalent, or markB
tho presence of evll-mluded persons In
unusually largo numbers, Is as yet un
determined. Dooks, overcoats, notes,
penB, etc., are all Joining the lists of
"lost," and none of them reappearing
in the "found" column. Wo do not
know whether any attempt is being
made or not to discover the culprit, but
the situation Is certainly becoming se
rious enough to demand some measure
of protection for student belongings.
OO
Indications point to as interesting
class basket ball contests as were held
last year. Every class will have a
team. The ball has been started roll
ing and It becomes the duty of every
class to keep It going. Now that there
will bo no more first team games, class
contests will receive attention and
patronage. The recently adopted class
athletic rules have placed Inter-class
athletics on a higher plane than ever.
All that Is needed to raise tho stand
ard still higher Is tho observance and
Improvement of these rules and more
interest and spirit on the part of
classes In tholr contests.
OO
Everyone will bo glad to know that
the seniors are going to have a basket
ball team. Tho upper classmen arc
going to show the proper spirit and
do their best to develop a team which
will be a winner.. There Is no reason
to believe that the senior class does
not contain sufficient material for a
good team. OfllclalB have been ap
pointed, and Manager Spafford al
ready has several candidates for the
team in view. The prospectB of the
seniors aro not so flattering as those
of tho other teams, and thoy are the
more to be, commended for tholr on
deavor to put up a championship team
against such odds.
OO
Something needs to be done to Im
prove tho lighting facilities of tho
gymnasium. The electric lights In the
gym have1 boon tho source of consid
erable annoyance and confusion In
the past. Thoy seldom burn steadily
and one or two frequently go out dur
ing basket balj games or flare up and
die down In a way which makes It
wry disagreeable for both the spec
rs and players. Laat year a game
lyed forty-flve minutes and the
A. G. SPiDKelled to wait In -darkneBa
New York, CblcUghtfl refused to work.

Last Friday night at tho society
game one of the lights would not burn
at all. Such service Is certainly v6ry
unsatisfactory, and It seems as If
It might In some way be Improved
upon.

Every University Btudent will be
delighted to learn from today's Issue
that matters have been suitably ad
justed, and very harmonious relations
now exist between the cadet band and
the department of which It Is a branch.
The old players are back, one week's
concert practice has been held and
every indication points to great prog
ress In the band room. While the year
1b more than half over, the band now
contains such material that it will de
velop very rapidly. Most of the men
are accustomed to playing together and
many of them nrc experienced musi
cians. It is hoped that before the year
ends the cadet band will become once
mbre the pleasing feature of college llfo
it was last year. Come out to chapel
Friday morning and welcome them.

Yesterday's Exercises:
E. T. Colton, national secretary of
the college branch of tho Y. M. C. A.,
spoke at chapel yesterday morning,
discussing In n general way the ten
dencies of American students, as ob
served In the colleges which he has
visited in the United States and Cann
da. Great as has been the influence of
colleges in the past, It is destined to be
greater In the future. Not only have
co-educational Institutions been estab
lished, but new callings have arisen
and new institutions provided for
them. The work Of commerce, manu
facturing, and of all the leading in
dustries is In the hands of educated
men and women today. Physical train
ing and education have come to occupy
an important place in the college cur
riculum, the knowledge of knowing
how to take care of the body being as
essential as the mastering of lessons in
the regular college course. As a result
of the introduction of gymnasiums,
the American students are the most
healthy in the world today. At the
International athletic contests held in
Paris several years ago American ath
letes won eighteen out of a possible
twenty-six places, besides capturing
several second places. In the games
at New York two yenrs ago tho teams
from Harvard and Yalo proved their
superiority over the visiting teams of
Oxford" and Cambrldge.defeatlng them
by a score of 0 points to 3. A man
who can compel his body to do his
will Is the one who Is best fitted to bear
tho business cares and stress of life.
No man can reasonably offer objections
to athletics. In tho case of those who
do object the reason Is traced not to
the conscience, but to the liver. In
regard to the secularization of Insti
tutions, an example is furnished by an
Incident that occurred In Paris during
the games there. Tho French ofllclals
wished to hold some of tho games on
Sunday, but a unanimous protest was
raised by the representatives of ten
American institutions. Only a few men
participated In these games, although
some were obliged to sacrifice chances
for which they had undergone a year's
hard training. Fifty years ago a
drunken student was not an unusual
sight on the campus of Harvard, but
today no man thus exposing his dis
grace would be tolerated there. The

Y. M. C. A. has a strong hold on Har
vard, Yale and other leading colleges,
many of tho leading athletes of which
take a great Interest In Y. M. C. A.
work. It Is gratifying to see men in
this University, who have defended tho
colors on the gridiron, holding leading
positions in tho Y. M. C. A.
Mr. Moore, who was formerly secre
tary of tho University association, also
made a few appropriate remarks as to
the progress of the Y. M.'C. A.In"thTs
Institution, and spoke In high terms of
the largo attendance and the enthusi
asm manifested at the banquet Tuesday
evening.
Football in Missouri.
(M. 8. U. Independent.)
While Missouri's football men are
leaving school either by Inclination or
compulsion we note tho efforts of oth
er schools In providing material for
next season. Wisconsin gets Minne
sota's rack half back "on account of
the superiority of the Wisconsin Med
ican school." Michigan gets a crack
football man from an eastern school
"on account of the superiority of the
Michigan Law school." Two crack
athletes In a Chicago preparatory Bchool
who Intended to enter Chicago last fall
suddenly changed their minds and
went to Michigan. Our last season's
coach made the statement that he had
promised Wisconsin a number of grack
football men for next year. What ma
terial these schools have they are hold
ing onto. We have never heard of
any of their athletes being Ineligible.
Is it nny wonder that such schools are
successful In athletic sports? The
cases of Michigan and Wisconsin are
simply examples of the way most
schools are successful in football, etc.
Many schools throughout the country
follow theso methods more or less.
Now look at conditions here. We
have never been any too fortunate In
the first place In athletic material,
and it seems that when we do get a
good man he either quits school vol
untarily or he leaves by invitation of
the authorities on account of condi
tions or failures. Very little organized
work Is done by the students and noth
ing by the alumni in securing athletes,
and consequently, the school Is at u
disadvantage. Just recently Kansas
University formed an organization of
the entire student body for the pur
post of systematizing the work of gath
ering In material. We must do some
thing here. We cannot afford to go to
KansaB City every Thanksgiving Day
and be defeated. The six or eight
thousand Kansas Cltyans who attend
every year are getting tired of seeing
tho Kansas triumphs. When our new
student organization gets started, this
matter Is one of the first things to
be attended to. We can get many a
good man that Intends to go elsewhere
if a lltUe persuasion Is used. There Is
no reason why the Mlssourlan should
go elsewhere If he Is after quality of
work. It Is from other reasons that
we don't get good athletes and the "oth
er reasons" are because wo don't uae
money, and bocauso we don't invite
them Wo don't believe that money
should be used but we bellovo that no
man In our state ought to be permitted
to go to another school till the ad
vantages of M. S. U. aro pointed out:
Another thing that seems strange Is
thiswhy is it that most of our ath
letes dre conditioned in eight or ten
hours each semester, and In other
schools, they get through a)l right?
Are other schools easy on their athletes
or Is tho school work easier? We don t
believe it is the latter. The work that
a great many of our teachers ask their
students to do Is bo heavy that It is
no wonder that an athlete stands very
little chance to get through without
conditions.
Whatever the prdblems are they
ought to be given serious consideration.
If M. S. U. is tocompote in athletics
with the big institutions in the west
we must have such conditions that will
give us an equal chance with them.
We can save you
rrjoney and give
you a hand
some shoe.
