"The II. O.
The Athletic Problem.
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.

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.

The chairman of the committee on
class finances reported that the money,
to the amount of $22.50, had been col

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

of Mai eh 23 the following conditions
pievailed:

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

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.
