Some Bcrlous complications have arisen over which team has the class hiiRket hall chamnlonshlD for 1903. A game was played Tuesday night to de cide this, resulting in a final Bcore of 25 to 24 in favdr of the freshmen. It was yesterday learned that instead of the second half being fifteen minutes In length, as agreed upon by the Junior and freshmen captains, It was of twen ty minutes' duration. The freshmen turned the score In their favor In the last two or three minutes of play. At the end of fifteen minutes the scoro stood 22 to 20 In the upper classmen's favor. This was the official end of the game, and the score as it stood then should be the official one. Fortunately one of the official time-keepers, who was uncertain whether this half Bhould be fifteen or twenty minutes' long, noted the score at exactly the end of fifteen minutes' play, and It stood 22 to 20 In favor of the Juniors. He endeav ored to find out at this point In the game whether the half should be fifteen or twenty minutes long, but did not succeed in malting himself heard, and so the game progressed. Written statements have been se cured by the Junlo'rs from thoso who officiated relative to this matter and are as follows: Lincoln, Neb., March 25, 1903. In regard to the class championship basket ball game, of Tuesday night be tweon Junior class team and freshman .claBS team, March 2.4, 1903, of which I "was an umpire, it is alleged that there was an agreement to play but fifteen minutes In the second half; It Is fur ther alleged that twonty minutes were played through some error of the time keeper. At the close of the game the scoro was 25 to 24 In favor of said freshman team, but up to two or three minutes of the close of said game, said Junior team was in the lead from two to four points, and my opinion would be that In case the above allegations are true that said Junior team is en titled to said game. I. P. HEWETT. Lincoln, Neb., March 25, 1903. This is to certify that at the junior freshman championship basket ball game, played In Unl armory March 24, I was an official time-keeper. Both halves of jthjs game were Qf twenty minutes' duration. The juniors, were 80Yeral points ahead during the first part of the second half of this game, and led throughout this half until within two or three minutes of the cose of tile game. Not knowing whether thfs half -was to be fifteen or twenty minutes In length; exactly at tho end of the fifteen minutes I noted the scorc-whlch stood 22 to 20 In favor of the juniors. W. J. ELLIOTT. To Whom It May Concern: Owing to an oversight, tho tlme ino in tho innlor-freshman basket ' ball gaine played Tuesday, March 24 waa.not Informed that the, second half was to bo only a fifteen-minute half. Apparently at the expiration of that time 'the junior team had scored 22 points, the freshmen 20; at tho expira tion of the 'full twenty minutes the score stood 25 to 24 in favor of the freshmen. , A , tI , As the easiest and fairest solution of the difficulty, I recommend that the game be replayed. R. O- CbAPP, Referee. - VMr. R. D. Andreson, who was the other umpire, preferred not to furnish anything In writing in regard to the matter, giving as his reason his desire to stay out of the affair. He said, however, that he would take a verbal Btand that If tho second half had been only fifteen minutes In length the JuniorBwould have won, and said: "There Is no question but that the juniors were ahead at that stage of the game."

Pleasant Dale, a pleasant village be tween Lincoln and Mllford, Is being sorely afflicted. Last fall Prof. Charles Fordyce of Wesleyan lectured there, followed by Prof. Lawrence Fossler. Last Friday evening Prof. T. M. Hodg man barely escaped with his Ufo from this long suffering community. What thoy will do to Prof. H. W. Caldwell a week from Friday evening can only be conjectured. Fortunately, the profes sor Is a good sprinter, and the Univer sity people can only pray that ho will be spared to his wife and children. One has more sympathy for the lynch ing parties of our own southern breth ren when he sees what our small Ne braska towns are subjected to by these oratorical professors.

University People Favor It as Soon as- Finances Permit Commercial Courses Dolus; Introduced Into Other Schools. Throughout the United States edu cators are at present seriously consid ering the advisability of introducing Into universities and colleges commer cial courses of study. Several univer sities have Installed such courses, and the movement is rapidly gaining ground. Among thoso who have been Instrumental In Impressing educators and others with the need of commer cial education Is President James of Northwestern, who has delivered sev eral addresses on the subject. Professor Taylor Favors Its Introduction A meeting was held at Ann Arbor from the 5th to tho 7th of February "In order to allow a comparison of views on the subject of th new move ment." The meeting was well attended by educators and business men. Pro fessor Taylor, who represented the Uni versity of Nebraska at this meeting, Is heartily In favor of the commercial course. The following extract Is taken from an article written by Professor Taylor and found In the "Evening News" for February 12: "How shall the University of Ne braska put Itself In line with this movement? Tho courses In agricul ture, animal husbandry, dairy husband ry, and domestic science, In education; In engineering civil, electrical and me chanical and in forestry are quite in this line. Of tho other courses, those In meterology and ethlnology, general, botany, chemistry, and physics, sugar analysis and assaying, many of the courses in different branches of engin eering and modern languages, econ omic geology, diplomatic history, In ternational law, Introduction to com mon law, general American and Euro pean history, mathematical studies, In statistical methods, military science, social and race psychology, elementary political economy, financial history, tariff history, economic problems, and municipal government, business crises, economic development, railroads, eco nomic history of England and of the United States, statists, money, tho ex changes, banking and bimetallism, seminary In economics, seminary In colonies, seminaries on cities, sociol ogy and psychology of society, char ities, criminology, labor problems such courses as the above afford abund ant material for the formation of a college of commerce. "If the heads of the different de partments of the University of Ne braska, including the law Bchool, offer ing these courses, are Impressed with the commercial movement on foot, they can doubtless give to them a turn which will make tem more suited to commercial education than at present." "The additional courses that would be given would be those descriptive of the great Industries and especially of the great industry of Insurance. Those treating of corporation finance and se curities, of accounting, of business or ganization and management, and of agricultural Industries." Chancellor Andrews Regrets that Pov erty Prevents Introduction. The views of Chancellor Andrews are expressed In the following communica tion: "I heartily believe In the utility, pro priety and desirableness of university departments equipped to teach the so called commercial branches, viz.: com mercial economics, geography and methods. It is a great pity that our poverty forbldB the University of Ne braska from instituting such a depart ment at once. E. BENJ. ANDREWS, Chancellor. Dr. Ross Says Agriculture Is Nebraska's Specialty. Dr. Ross believes that there will nat urally bo greater demand for such a, course of instruction near commercial centers than in this state, for example, where more attention Is given to agri cultural pursuits. He says: "The growing attention to systematic com mercial education is connected with the development of our cities, the growth of our manufactures, and the expansion oi our export trado. The, problems in connection wl,th commerce have been made the Bubject of special investigations and It Is likely that uni versities will so multiply their courses (Continued on pago 2.) Uni Appropriation Bill Approved by Committee of the Whole. The University appropriation bill came up In the legislature yesterday In the general appropriation bill for the state. Tho bill providing for the cur rent exponses bt tho institution appro priates $239,500, whllo the salaries bill, which Is now being engrossed for third reading In the" committee of the whole, appropriates f 300,000 more, making a total of $539,1500, The general appro priation bill was considered yeatorday in committee of the whole and was passed wlthoutaerlqUs 'objection, espe cially to the part referring to tho Uni versity. Last night, however, the house in its evening session did not see fit to push it through on the mo ment and left it till this morning for consideration. The motion not to con cur with the action of tho committee of the whole, it is claimed, was put at a very opportune moment and was there fore carried. The bill will come up this morning, when It will undoubtedly pass without much opposltlonv The part of tho bill relating to tho University reads as follows: "Payable from tho temporary Uni versity fund for general current ex penses for the blennlum, $80,000; for permanent Improvements, repairs, maintenance, heating and lighting, as follows: Building for offices and reci tation rooms, $35,000; for physics building, $75,000; for general repairs and maintenance, addition to hoatlng apparatus and steam tunnels, reser voirs and fire protection, electric light ing apparatus and wiring, special re pairs on chemical laboratory and Ne braska hall buildings, remodeling north wing of the central building for the law college stokers, fans and appli ances for four boilers, permanent roof for old coal areas, Incidental expenses on all works of Improvement, $49,500. Total appropriation for the blennlum, $239,500." That part of tho salaries bill for ex ecutive and Instruction purposes of the University readB: "Payable from the (regents' fund) temporary University fund for salaries and wages of executive and instruc tional force and all employes, $150,000." This, however, is for one year only and will amount to $300,000 for the bl ennlum. , As soon ad this bill has been read for the third time it will go to the senate and there be considered, but will probably suffer no change, for there Is at present no Indication of serious objection In that body of the legislature. Neither of these bills, it must be borne in mind, aro yet on the statute books of the state and are, therefore, subject to change. Tho son ate may seo fit to make some altera tions and the house can yet cause much trouble, especially with the salaries bill, which, however, is not very like ly. It; is felt that tho fiercest part of the fight has already been won. At any rate, the outlook for tho Univer sity for the next two years 1b ndw fa vorable. . Besides' these appropriations, tho. leg islature contemplates giving to the state hlstorjcql Boglety $10,000 for tho bjennlura "for day and hour " labor, listing, cataloguing, traveling exponses, field work, St. Louis exposition, blnd fng newspapers, books and pamphlets, purchasing books, newspapers, print ing two volumes, engraving plates and printing, express, postage and freight, hook cases, picture frames and pic tures." This appropriation also is incorpor ated In the general appropriation bill which wljl bo acted on finally in tho house this morning. $3.00 commutation ticket for $2.70 .at the Merchants' Cafe, 117 No. ,12th St. Students aro cordially invited. r'- '3 i 'fl jj " s,f ' . r rs 'H yT t Si 1 E4 n . . tf J ' I v, -4V.
