The case of The Registrar vs. UelUer Is a good Illustration of the difficulties that beset college athletics. Practically no one denies that this particular can didate for the pltcher'B box Is to all In tents and purposes a "professional." The dispute Is rather one as to whether the "welfare of the University" de mands his acceptance as a member of the team In spite of this fait. It is a difficult situation. How far ought the University officials to condone "profes sionalism"? To limit Nebraska ath letics to unquestionably bona fide stu dents, just at the moment Missouri is demanding less stringent regulations against professionalism, and Kansas is scouring the whole middle west In search of bafteball and football candi dates, does certainly seem a serious menace to University success in 1903. But If the opposite policy is adopted, where Is the line to be drawn? We provoked a cynical smile last faW by protesting a Knox man on tne ground of "professionalism" when our own eleven was generously permeated with it. Such a competition In "profession alism" geneially means that the Insti tution which can offer the most "in ducements" Is the one that gets the men, and so Intercollegiate athletics de generate to a mere contest of dollars and cents. The honest way is that of non-professionalism. Whether it is the practicable one is not so easy to say. But The Nebraskan, although realizing that in doing bo it runs counter to a goodly portion of University sentiment, is ludined to endorse the action of the registrar, and to urge that Nebras ka athletics be put on a purely ama teur basis. OO The method by winch professional ism may be eradicated from Intercol legiate athletics has not yet been dis covered. The writer has witnessed some sincere attempts at its suppres sion in Iowa by Btrlct regulations on the part of the inter-collegiate athletic board; but the attempts have never been more than spasmodically success ful. It is to be hoped that the ulti mate remedy Is not that now being suggested the entire abolition of In-ter-colleglate contests. The average student Is hardly prepared as yet to concede"the necessity of such a radical step. But ho would heartily welcome any practicable method of reducing tnese contests to purely amateur af fairs. If any reader of The Nebraskan has any remedy to suggest, his com munication will bo heartily welcomed. Meantime, It will bo worth our while to consider whether Nebraska la will ing to pay the price of conforming to Juniors Pass Some Resolutions. Tlie Cew GBelts Include many attractive styles In postillion effects, ring fastenings, and beautifully shaped and designed buckles. Some have long pendants of braid, chenille, or metal chains. The "Royal" belts are standards of good taste, Btyle, and excellent quality. All belts of this make have ornaments In the back. A novel belt Is made of silk elastic fabric, connected at the back by means of five square metal pieces, which are Joined together uy small links. The effect is that of a rather narrow belt somewhat on the girdle order $2.25.

All of tnese belts are furnished with a ball and ring clasp In front, which prevents the belt from sagging. The junior class met yesterday and transacted business of some Impor tance to other classes as well as to Itself. The chairman of the committee on class finances reported that the money, to the amount of $22.50, had been col lated to defray expenses connected with the class representation in the Sombrero. The committee was given a vote of thanks for the commendable way in which it conducted its business and was discharge!. Athletics were brought up for con sideration and Bernard Newton elected baseball manager. C. N. Walton was appointed to fill a vacant y on the athletic board caused by the resigna tion of Tobin who has become a mem ber of the senior class. With reference to the Junior-fresh men basket ball trouble, several enthu siastic speeches were made, all of which were strongly in favor of supporting the class team In the position it has taken. The class also expressed Itself In favor of the action of its team and appointed a committee to draw up reso lutions expressing the sentiment of the class. The following resolutions were drawn up: Whereas, In the Intcrclass basket ball game lor championship between juniors and freshmen on the evening of Mai eh 23 the following conditions pievailed: First The captains of the contesting teams agreed to play twenty first half and fifteen half. Second The second half, by inisun deibtanding, was played twenty min utes Instead of fifteen. Third The timekeeper noted at end of fifteen minutes in second half, when the game should have ended, that the score stood 22 to 20 In favor of the juniors. Fourth The juniors remained ahead until the twentieth minute of the game. Fifth The final score at end of the twentieth minute stood 25 to 21 in favor of the freshman class. Sixth The juniors have offered the following proposition for a settlement: To leave the question of championship to the college athletic board; or to the faculty members of the athletic board; or to judges agreed upon by the two contesting classes; or to play the game over.' Whereas, The freshmen have refused to accept any of these terms; and Whereas, Considerable ill-feeling has arisen as a result of the unsatisfactory outcome of the game; therefore, be It Resolved by the junior class, That In justice to both classes and In the gen eral Interests of Interclass contests the game be played over.
