THE BOARD MEETS
Athlet.c Board Holds Session.
Practice Continues.
The Athletic Board met last night
and dlBcuBsed business relative to the
welfare of the University athletics.
They voted to give an "N." to all foot
ball men playing an entire half in
cither the games with Iowa, Kansas or
Illinois. They also voted to give an
"N." to the man winning the title of
college gymnast in the coming athletic
tournament. The title of college gym
nast will be awarded to the man gain
ing the greatest member of points.
The business coming before the
board was light and the meeting ad
journed shortly after 8:30.
The coming game with Bellevue will
be a good one. This team not lung ago
defeated the urand Islaud College team
by a score of 24 to 0, and have been
making a good record all season.
Captain Bender eays:
"This team is playing fast ball and
we look lor a good game."
Although the Bellevue team is light
they make up for this shortcoming In
speed.
Last year they held our Scrub team
0 to 0, and the bcrubs play th Vaisltj
a good game night alter night.
' ' The piactice last night was up to
the usual standard. The Scrubs played
good ball and kept the 'Vaisiiy con
stantly on the jump.
itinger washout again, which looks
very promising.
Benedict is still out of practice rest
ing up-and gaining strength lor the
last final struggle which will 'be the
game of the Beason.
' Graves is alBo on the repair list.
His face is in bad condition Horn the
injury he received in Wednesday s
practice. He will be out soon, bow
ever, and be ready to interview the
gentlemen from Illinois on the subject
of football.
The Interest already aroused over
tho game'' in extremely gratifying.
Nearby all tho best reserved seats in
the grandstand are takon and the re
maining ones are going .rapjdly. All
who desire to see this game from tho
grandstand had better reserve their
teats in a hurry or the probabilities are
tnat they will watch it from the north
end of the field.
An article of some lengui appeared
in tho Kansas City Star to tho effect
that the Carlisle Indians are carrying
on negotiations with the Haskell In
dians lor the arrangement of a game
between the two teams to bo played in
Kansas City on Christmas day.
There is also a vague rumor afloat
to the effect that the Carlisle team
would like to arrange a game with the
Nebraska team as the strongest west
ern team. This is nothing but the
wildest of rumors and wo print it for
what it may bo worm It may be its
value Is nothing.
All the railroads have granted a rate
of one faro for the round trip from
towns within one hundred miles of
Lincoln for the manksgivlng game
with Illinois.
WANT REPRESENTATION.
Law Students Would Like Places
On .Class Athletic Board.
The law students have been actively
agitating tho matter of securing repre
sentation on tho inter-class athletic
board and obtaining the passage of
a ruling that will permit the law classes
to take ijart In the Inter-class contests.
The following- letter explains the .situ
ation fully:
Editor Nebroskan:
It is tho prevailing opinion among
f44&

-P-JMK9&&VWHW&JWWP-JKWWH
the law students that this department
Ib not as closely identified in Univer
sity affairs ns it should be Perhaps
the matter has not been before sug
gested, or if it has. at least unthing
seems to have been done to remedy
the defect. It is with the hope of of
fering a suggestion thnt space in Tke
Nebraska!) Is asked foi at this time.
One of tho chief purposes of the inter-class
functions, tuch as football,
baseball, basket ball and debates. Is
the promotion of class spirit, and the
plan adopted to recently In this Uni
versity is already proving to be a most
successful one. The various classes
are united in a common purpose, when
.striving to sne class honor either upon
the athletic field or upon the debating
platform. It Is with supremo interept
that tho law students have been view
ing this movement and preliminary
steps have boon taken to aroupo claps
spirit, through the organization i,f las-K
trams, to represent the Laws In vari
ous games, and a movement Is on foot
to organize squads to participate in the
Intor-dasb debates.
By the arrangements of the Inter
nals Athletic association, however, the
law classes, as such, are not recognized
and It is this fact thnt practically ex
cludes the 1-aws from participating in
inter-class athletlcB Furthermore, by
a nrvv rule just adopted by the present
board provision has been made for any
of the classes to play on their team stu
dents of the law department who
graduate with those classes. From
this ruling it Is evident that the board
refuses to recognize "the law classes as
separate from other classes. This state
of affairs is very detrimental to class
spiilt In this department and It is the
prayer of tills article that some pro
vision may be made whereby the law
classes will receive their due share of
recognition. Perhaps It is out of place
to suggest that the law c lar sea be given
representation on the Inter-clasa Ath
letic board, and that nn addition be
made to the rule to include the paitici
pation of law clashes in inter- lass
events. Just how this may be done is
a matter for the board to detoimine,
but it is certain that it can be done
and certain It is also that the 200 or
more law students could then fed that
their interests in this respect aie no
longer Blighted. Sooner or later the
matter will have to bo decided for or
against tho law students, and for this
renson It Is urgent that now, while
tho rules are not yet cut and dried,
and while a strong sentiment prevails
among Laws and Academies for rep
resentation on the board, that some
favorable notion be taken. Communi
cations from any Interested in the mat
ter are earnestly Invited. F.

good shape to serve you. Our new

SHEDD BENEFIT MOVEMENT.
Former Nebraska Star End in
Need of Assistance.
The operation performed upon
"Chick" Sheeld for the remain I of nn
abcess in the right hip, accounts of
which have already been published in
the city pnpeis, serves to remind us of
the movement that has been started
toward getting up a benefit and enter
tainment for him. Such an undertak
ing as suggested two weeks ago in the
columns of The Nebraskan has met
the approval of many people who are
willing to do their share, provided a
general movement is started We un
derstand that many of the prominent
business men of Lincoln are willing to
help toward making a benefit enter
tainment for Shedd a success, and are
willing to direct their efforts to arouse
Interest among others.
Under such favorable conditions ns
theie there Is no reason why we should
not be able to undertake and promote
such an entortalnmcnt as a University
afi'air and thus do something toward
discharging our duty toward this un
fortunate young man who has suffered
Injury in fighting to uphold the honor
of this University and who has In con
sequence been confined under the con
stant caie of nurses and physicians.
His medical treatment lias been of a
costly character, and his family Is in
no way able to bear the expenses that
have been mounting up. And such be
ing the case and while he Is a helpless
Invalid instead of tho strong-limbed
athlete that helped make our team a
winner, we should not abandon him to
look out for himself nnd accept what
ever chance may bring.
It is our duty to give a benefit enter
tainment for him, so that not only IiIh
financial embarrassment would be re
lieved, but that something might be
done toward securing him some ad
vantages of special education If his
physical condition will ever warrant
the effort. The Auditorium could un
doubtedly be secured at a special rate
and enough tickets could easily be sold
to fill the house, as the movement
would be a popular one, not only In
the University, but In the city of Lin
coln as well. The business men are
willing-to co-opeiate, nnd there is no
obstacle In our path that.wpuld pre
vent us from doing our plain duty In
lending assistance whero It Is needed
and deserved.

1500 FOR FUND
Y. M. C. A. Makes Large Pledge
To The Temple Fund.
At a special mooting of the cabinet
and advisory board of the University
Y. M. C. A., held Wednesday evening,
action was taken by the terms of
which tho association pledges Itself to
secure pledges for the Temple Fund
committee In the minimum amount of
$1,500.
. Tho University Y. M. C. A. has about
300 members nnd hopes to boo thlB
number 500 at an early date. This
undertaking means, therefore, that If
each of the present members secures
pledges In the sum of only $5 tho thing
1b done.
It Is not expected that the canvass
for thoBe subscriptions will be made
In tho University community.
The plan Is that every member of
the Y. M. C. A. will go homo for the
Thanksgiving and ChrlBtmas recesses
provided with a pledge book, sultablo
literature and boundless zenl and will
canvass him own circle of friends and
acquaintances in IiIb home town.
It scorns not unreasonable to expect
that many members Bhould bo ablo to
Hpcure pledges to tho extent of $50 or
$100, which will swell the total sum to
much more than $1,500.
Pledge books or circulars may bo
had from Secretary Ringer at the Y. M.
C. A. rooms and every member of the
association is urged to be sure and call
for bis share before going homo on
hiu Thanksgiving vacation.
Similar action is expected from tho
Y. W. C. A. at an early date.
In undertaking the work of raising
$1,500 for the Temple Fund tho Y. M.
C. A. haB assumed a responsibility of
large proportions, but with Its charac
teristic energy it will dlschargo It ef
fectively. Tho plan of work is nn ex
cellent one, and It would be difficult
to reach the people of the state In a
more effective manner. If each man
does IiIb share, the undertaking will be
crowned with sure and rapid success.
This stop Ib one of the most encour
aging efforts that Iibb yet been mndo
In behalf of the Temple Fund and if
all of those who are called upon re
spond with such spirit ns this, no diffi
culty will bo experienced in raising
the amount desired. Any assistance
lent to such a cause will aid In pro
curing ub a benefit thnt will always
abide with us.
