ZEbe Satlp fftebratefean f fi I i w UNDER WAY AGAIN University Formally Opened for Another School Year. Outlook Bright. The exercises attendant upon the formal opening of the University for the present year were held In Memorial Hall last Saturday morning. Dr. Ros- ; coe Pound, dean of tho law school, de llvered the address, speaking on "The 'Evolution of Legal Education." The exercises were opened by an organ soR) by Miss Raymond and a violin solo by Miss Silence Dales.' Chancellor An drews introduced tho speaker. Dr. Pound traced the origin and de velopment of law schools from the dayB of ancient Romo down to the present time. He discussed the Justinian code, and drawing an analogy, expressed his belief that the old Roman laws were In nowise superior to the modern Eng lish code. Private law schools existed In early Roman times, which had their novll or Freshman, and found it nec essary to take measures against hazing. In tracing the history of law schools In America, he said that tho first one was established at Litchfield, Conn., in 17iU. The law school .la. in -fact an American Institution, and the Engish, Bchools do not rank with ours. Tho universities gradually monopolized the field and the private, law school grad ually went out of existence. Twonty years ago the law schools were very backward in development, but have grown, greatly since that time. Most of the leading universities, he said, of fer a three years' course, and some de mand a'college degree as a requirement for entrance. In discussing the present uuwelldy system of laws that allows so many de lays in the execution of Justice, he pointed out tho necessity for reform in criminal laws. To overhaul and remedy these laws he thought would simply be a matter of legislation, and the day was not far distant when such an event would take place. Courts are in shape, and after Tues day will be marked out and kept ready for tho use of members. Only mem bers are allowed to play upon courts. The management wishes all players in terested to get out and pay up dues promptly to E. P. Tyner at the library. The outlook is promising.

Will Try for Place on Chicago University Eleven. John F. Tobln, who for the past four years has figured prominently In ath letic and debating ovents at UiIb Uni versity, left last week to enter t-he law Hchool of the University of Chicago. He received his A. B. last Jnne and intended taking up work In the law department here this semester, but later changed his plans. Tobin was one of the strongest men in track work that ever attended the University. His exploits in tho hammer-throw and shot-put brought him to the front rank of University ath letes. For two years he held the cham pionship for the shot-put and last year established a wonderful record for the hammer-throw, Imrling tho instrument a distance of over 129 feet. ThiB rec ord will probably stand unbeaten for a long time to come. He also showed up strong In debate, wining a place as an alternate on one of the interstate teams two years ago, and was a lead ing football player. The first semester of last year he served as news editor of The Nebraskan. Ho is at present a protege of Coach Stagg and has been showing up well In practice. He was lnthe line-up Sat urday in the game, against lxmbard and played right ELECTS NEW OFFICIAtf Athletic Board Fills Vacancies. No Assistant Coach Yet.

The University opened Its football season Saturday with the Lincoln High School as opponents In the presence of a small and quiet crowd of the faithful. In the early part of the first half the High School Bcorod a touch-down and kicked goal, from a fumble by one of the University halves, but that was all thero was In It for them. Nebraska settled down to hard work and when the whistle sounded at the end of the game had twenty-three points to their credit. Two touch-downs by Benedict and two by Marsh. Bender kicked three goals. Be It said hero, not for the purpose of tryingto cover a coBtly fumble, but In honest praise of a worthy team, that the Lincoln High School has one of the best teams it has ever put forth, strong In the line, speedy behind the line, and "heady" throughout. Against this team the University made a splendid showing. The score In tho first half was discouraging, but the playing in the second half brought out the true metal of the team. Back of the line, Clark and Brlgga di vided honors at full. Benedict, Marsh and Du Cray came In for their praise at right half, while Eager and Bell held down left half. Gore, Eagan and Grif fith were all played at left end. Conk lln filled1 right end during the game. Bender proved his versatility, adapta bility and stability at quarter. Borg, Hunter and Cotton, all old mon, gavo strength and firmness to tho line. New ton, captain of last year's second team, alternated with Robertson at right tackle. Perry, a new man, Bhowed up well at left tackle. During the second half Eager and Marsh proved' to be excellent ground gainers, several times skirting the ends for fifteen, twenty and twenty-five yards. Owing to the lack of practice the playing was oratlc, but towards the end of the gairie the team steadied down and gave an exhibition of fast ball. Simply because we have been scored on through a fluke there seems to be a feeling hat the team is doomed. Where Is, Ihe Jp$Uy of the students? Whore ts that fanous rallying spirit of Ne braska? We liave the men, wo have a coach and a captain that can not be beaten. Let tho students turn out and show that we have faith in Nebraska's winning team. The following Is the line-up: University.

His father, who Is In the Insurance business, rep resenting the Royal Highlanders, was out of the city at the time of tho ac cident, and was notified by telegraph. Harland Whyman was a Junior in the Lincoln High School and a student of promlso and ability. Many of tho faculty nnd students of the university were acquainted with tho young man or his family and will regret to hear of his terrible death. No Monday Chapel.
