Qet HOLDS ITS SESSION I nterclass Athletic Board Meet Laws and Academics Confer. The Inter-clasa Athletic board had a lively meeting yesterday morning in U 106. The entire board was present, consisting of three men from each class in the academic school. The amend ment known as rule 5, passed at the last meeting, was up for reconsidera tion. The Seniors and Freshmen seemed most interested in this amendment. Stein was spokesman for the Fresh men and B. F. Myers did most of the talking lor the Seniors. At this point Mr. Neilson, claiming to be a representative Senior Law. asked to be permitted to speak. Being recognized, Mr. Neilson said that the academic classes should maintain their integrity and play their own men. He thought the laws should only play on tho af teams. Another law student took exactly, the opposite view, so it appeared that they were not sure what would be the proper thing. Tho question was called for (after the legal storm) and the vote on the amendment taken. The amendment wa' passed with tho same wording as bo fore. Tho vote was eight to three, the Freshmen all voting against it. This allowB the Senior laws to play with tho Senior academics, the Juniors with tho Juniors and the first year laws with tho Sophomores. Before the meeting adjourned tho law committee filed requests for repre sentation on tho board. The requests wore not considered but were laid over until the next meeting. Immediately following tho meeting of tho Inter-class athletic board the several classes of the law school met in a body In tho law lecture room and took definite action on the question re lating to athletics. In view of the-fact that thtf academics refus'ed. to recognla the law school as a separate and inde pendent college of the University, giv ing the law classes no representation on the lnter-class board, the law as semblage decided to complete an Inde pendent athletic organization. A com mittee of five was appointed to draft a constitution and draw up rules regu lating athletics in the law college. Al though the laws havo not been recog nized on tho board they will neverthe less put out teams of their pwn and maintain class enthusiasm and class loyalty in that department. Mr. Snavely, president of tho Sonior law class, presided over the meeting and called on the committeemen, who represented the close in the board meet ing and presented tho claims of tho law school to that body. It was then learned from the speeches made by these men that the board, especially the representatives from the Senior aca demic claBS, objected to allowing the different law classes representation on the board principally because they wished to draw from the Senior Laws their best football players to aid them in winning the clasB championship. Be cause of this some of the Senior Laws refused to play. Their action was loud ly applauded by their brother lawyers. It Is tho custom In eastern schools for the medics and lawa to maintain their own class athletic teams and to -be allowed representation on the inter class board system exists.

Under the new arrangements in the University school of law, the course Is three years, and Junior and Senior academic stu dents can register for a limited num ber of hours in the law department. The fact that a Junior or Senior aca demic student could play on his own team and at the same time play on the Sophomore team, bb a Freshman law makes the proposed scheme look ridicu lous. It is still the hope of those who are most deeply Interested that a com promise may yet be reached, whereby both the laws and academics will be satisfied. The inter-class athletic board shouFd control all class athletics in all schools and departments of tho Uni versity. FOOTBALL NUMBER.

Convocation period yesterday was de voted to an enthusiastic football meet ing. The first part was devoted to the practice of a new college song, "Ne braska." The words are by Mr. Will M. Maupin, and the music by Mr. Wil liam O'Shea. Mr. O'Shea, assisted by tho band, led the singing. The words and melody are both beautiful, and what Is especially necessary In a col lege Bong, the music has a swing that takes everything along. ie Introduc tion Is written especially as an accom paniment to the college yell, and this adds to the effect. Copies of the words and melody will be distributed tomor row at chapel. After the music Dr. Condra an nounced that since Mr. Booth was not thero to give a football talk Mr West ovor would officiate In that capacity. Mr. WeBtover began his talk by saying that tho game Thursday will be one of tho hardest games the team has ever played. Ho insisted that Aour team would win, but those who imagine that wo have a walk-away because Iowa beat Illinois 12 to 0 are badly mistaken. Iowa had a team last Saturday that was 30 per cent stronger than when It played us4 and yet it won only after the hardest kind of a game. Mr. Westover then explained the dif ferent, plays such as open formation between the 25-yard lines; close forma tions, in which the ends aro pulled back and the backs play ub close, mak ing a very compact mass, which Is hard to stop; safety touchdowns, touch backs, place-kicks and drop kicks. He said that the most successful play Ne braska has ever used Is the one Mr. Booth has brought here, a mass on tackle. This Is always good for at least two yards, and is especially adapted for closo formations. Lincoln Transfer Co. Baggage. Phone, 176.

PRICE 3 CENTS LAST GREAT GAME Nebraska Rough and Ready and Eager For Tomorrow's Fray. The great day Is rapidly approaching. Tomorrow tho Universities of Nebras ka and Illinois will meet on Nebraska field to endeavor to wrest from each other the last laurels of the season. Illinois cornea to us a defeated team, but with a determination to wipe out the memory of the defeat by achieving a glorious victory over strong Ne braska. Nebraska will contend until her last breath in the endeavor to keep un spotted tho fair name she has borno throughout the soaBon and in fact for the past two years. The team will not bo alone in its struggle. Every University student and every friend of tho University who has in 1i1b heart one spark of loyalty will be out on the field to cheer tho Corn huskcrs on and show that he has con fidence in the ability of the team to win tho day. The Illinois team will arrive In Lin coln this afternoon at 3:20 over tho Rock Island road and will be quartered at tho Llndell. The Nebraska management has tend ered tho visitors the privilege of using Nebraska field, or if thoy choose, the grounds at tho etate farm or tho F. & M. park. Illinois Is heavier than the Nebraska team. Tho visitors will average about 175 or 176 lbs. to our 170 lbs. Behind the lino Illinois Is heavy and speedy. In weight they have tho ad vantage of us, but not in Bpeed. The offensivo play of Illinois Is much stronger than their defensive, which was very evident In the game wiui Iowa. This reasons well for Nebraska as she Is very strong on dofenso and if anyone should aBk you, she Is able to hold her own on the defensive.. In speaking of tho IlllnolB-Iowa game Assistant Coach Westover said last night: "Iowa simply outplayed the Illinois team. Playing harder and faster ball, the Iowa team lined up practically tho same as it did against us, but all the way through she played a very much, better game than against us. "Her victory over Illinois waa not duo to luck, but simply the result of good, straight football." Tho practice laat night consisted sim ply of signal work. Tho Scrubs were not out. Their work is over and well and faithfully have they done It. To them is largely duo tho present per fection of tho 'Varsity. All the team was out lost night .In cluding Benedict. He Is greatly im proved. Ho Is troubled with one of. his ribs, tho muscles around it suem to be torn loose. When asked If ho would be able to play all through the Illinois game ho replied: "Well, I should smile. I'H play if I have to take that rib out." Good work, Benedict. Your's Is tho kind of grit that makes the team what it is. Union Shining Parlor, 1018 O 8U Chairs for ladles and gentlemen. Wright IMig Co. 117 No. nth.
