According to yesterday evening's
Star Charles Shedd, the former end on

article referring to the matter says:
$ "Chick" ShCdd, the former Universi
ty football player, was taken homfe
from tho Lincoln sanitarium Tuesday,
after Bpondlng three weeks there as the
result of a second operation. Shedd
was Injured1 severely In the game with

At a meeting held Tuesdaj eening

$200 to the Temple Fund, thus show
ing that It desired to be counted in on
a movement that will promote the
welfare of our I'nluitity to a large

vantages that the Temple bailding will

through its character as a social or

Vigorous efforts are being put forth
to secure the residue of the' Fund. A
large number of circulars hae been
sent out among the people of the state
and have In many Instances elicited
favorable returns. The alumni have
been appealed to and are expected to
tally In force, doing all- they can per
sonaly and striving to interest those
about them. Several University organ

aroused over the affair and many opin
ions are heard as to the probable out
come. The, names most frequently
heard are Bender and Benedict.

The prospects for a western trip for
the basket ball team are very good.
Fu'l arrangements have not yet been
completed, but that the team will go
is almost a certainty.
The games at home have not yet
been scheduled, but the season has not
yet begun, and there a're plenty of
teams near home with whom games
-an be played.
The outlook for a championship
team is bright. Many of the old men
are back and a great deal of new ma
terial is on hand. A very encouraging
interest is being taken in the game,
and the number of men who have
turned out is going to make the com-
peiuion ror position sharp, which al
most always insures a good team.

Win Over Freshmen by Making a
Single Safety.
The final game of the inter-class
championship series, played yesterday
by 'he-Seniors and Freshmen, resulted
In a score of 2 to 0 in favor of tho
Seniors. The score was mad'e by a
safety. Tho game was much mere one
sided than tho score indlcavf.. Di.r
ing the first half In particular the
Seniors plnyed the Freshmen clear ou
their feet, only Wd luck unci t ic
wind, which was blowing a gale, gavo
the Freshmen a great advantage in
punting prevented the Seniors from
scoring twice in tlie first half. In tho
second half they rushed tho ball about
twice bb many yards as the Freshmen
did. but were prevented from Bcorlng
once by a fumble whrAr they had ad
vanced the ball well Into the FreBhman
territory. On two other occasions they
were held for downB at critical times.
The small score Is also explained In
part by the shortness of tho halves,
which were of only 15 minutes dura
tion. Myers, the captain and loft half of
the Senior team, had been told by Dr.
Clapp to keep out of the game. Myers
has a bad case of water on tho knee,
and though not very painful there Is
always great danger of a stiff kneo
unless the best of care Is taken of It.
Pilchard was called back from right
guard, and played an excellent game
as halfback. Raasch taking his place
In the line.
The Freshmen won Lhe toss and
chose the north goal, witn a very heavy
wind at their back. Newton kicked off
for the Seniors to the Freshmen's 30
yard line. The Freshmen attempted to
rush the ball, but were held for downs
and compelled to punt at once. Drain
booted the ball well and Bell caught
it for the Seniors on their 30-yard line,
nnd returned five yards. The Seniors
p'ayed a fierce rushing game, Prltchard
and McDonald tearing off from three
to ten yards on quick openings and
cross bucks. Everything looked like
a tpuchdown when one of the backs
fumbled the ball and a Freshman fell
on It on their own 25-yard line. Tho
Freshmen were soon compelled to punt.
Bell caught the punt and by some
clever dodging eluded two Freshmen
tackles, and returned the ball ten
yards. The Seniors again set sail for
the Freshmen's goal, this time tho
gains being even longerThah before.
Movck and Newton were frequently
called back to run from halfback's po
sition and both did excellent work.
Newton tore through the Freshmen left
tackle for ten yards and placed the
ball on their eight yar I line. TheSe-
niors on the side lines were frantic
and called for a touchdown, but a man
on the line had held and the Seniors
were penalized twenty yards. On the
next .down they were again penalized
'ty yards for the same offense and
compelled tor punt. Alter a few more
downs thno was called.
In the second half the Seniors re
ceived the kick-off and rushed It back
to -the center-of- the field, and then
Newton punted to the Freshmen 5
yaid line. The Freshmen made first
down once and were then compelled
to kick. Tho Seniors returned tho
punt and Foster tried to run it out
but was caught on the 10-yard line'
Drain soon attempted a punt. Lewis
broke through from his position as
centor and blocked the kicK. It bound
ing, the arms of Foster on the Freeh
men's 2-yard line. Lewis with the aid
of Prltchard, picked up Foster bodily
and carried him across the line and
on until the fence stopped them, for
a safety, the only score of the game.
Shortly after this came the only flash
of consistent offense for the Freshmen
when they got the ball on their own
50-yard line and carried it down the
field for thirty yards by tandem plays
between center and guard. Tho Se
niors braced and held them for downs
