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. Serious diffi
culties might arlso "under the system

that the board tried to adopt, because
of the difference In standing between
the laws and academics. 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.

LAST MASS MEETING.
New Song Is Tried and Speeches
Are Made.
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.

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.
