Unconfirmed Rumor Says Fresh
ies Will Meet at Last.
SopliH to bo Ontriulncl. TIo .Junior
Vrcfthlent In tlie Cluilr.
Shoitly before our going to press
last eening, an apparently well au
thenticated rumor reached us to the
effect that the Freshman class has at
last roused enough courage to call a
class meeting. According to this re
port the meeting will be held In Me
morial Hall next Thursday morning,
with Mr. L. T. Sldwell. president ol
the .Junior class. In the chair, and
Chant ollor Andrews, sergeant-at-arms.
The meeting of last Tuesday, which
was wholly In the hands of the Sopho
mores, will be disregarded entirely,
and under the auspices of the Juniors
and othe r peaceably inclined upper
classmen, who will not stand for the
"ileepptlsm" of the Sophomores, a
whole staff of officers will be chosen.
In fait, no Soimomores are to -lie ad
mitted to the meeting, and the Fresh
men will be afforded a fair opportunity
to organize.
Immediately on hearing the rumor
as above, a representative of the Nc
braskan called at the executive office
for confirmation of It. The repot t was
neither confirmed nor denied, however,
and we can thorefoie assume no re
sponsllillty for it, though agtiin assert
ing the ayiarent reliability of our in
formant In 'this connection, the following
communication was handed us yester
day afternoon, for publication We
publirh communications gladly, assum
ing. loweer, no responsibility for
their contents or sentiments:
" Editor Nebraskan: I beg your per
mission to address, through your
columns, a few remarks to the Fresh
man class. They are as follows:
"Eeiyone has begun to marvel and
wonder about whether or not there is
a Freshman class in the university,
and were it not for the numerous
j t range faces on the campus no one
could determine.
Wake up, Fioshmen! Why do you
tairy and -lumbei? You are ovei rid
ing past traditions, and subjecting
youreles to seere criticism by the
universitv public because of your
s-nail-llke pose.
You aie sadly lacking in the spirit
and enthusiasm that would mark a
in oid-bteaking. or even a record-hold-mg
clas.. Last year at this time the
clansmen that are now Sophomores
were organized and conducting their
own affair with bulldog tenacity, and
their record of achievements stands
untai niched in the history of our in
stltution. Shake the high school dust
from off your feet and get into the
ur.iveislty band wagon,
"Haven't you got any one inyour
overwhelming numbers who has
enough class spirit, business and cour
age to post a notice' and call a meet
ing; or do you expect to go through
your four years college course with
out class organization?
"Every class above you has already
elected officers and completed Us busi
ness for the first semester, and here
you aie absolutely dead, no sign of
any movement whatever toward get
ting together. If you can't got to-
gether any better when you call your
first meeting you'll be a sorry looking
bunch when the Sophs get through
with you. Where is your energy? Are
you still moping about the familiar
scenes at home and dragging your
selves about the halls still hunting tor
recitation rooms? If so, cut it out and
mix with the rest of us, be university
students, not green-horns. My class
mates are your friends and want you
to make a showing, but you can't do
It by lagging this way, and perhaps

Intercollegiate Cross Country
Runs Create Comment.
('Iilriigo l.oolcn for (Jooil Nlioulne From
Nohriiftku.
The big Intercollegiate cross-country
races to be hold In Chicago next
Thanksgiving, and to which Nebraska
will send n team of probably five men.
Is commanding much nttentlon among
all the big Institutions of the west.
The athletic- editor of the Chicago
University "Maroon," who is in an
excellent position to Judge the situa
tion, reviews It as follows. It will be
noticed that they are looking for great
things from Nebtaskn:
"Two great western athletic contests
will take place this year in Chicago
on Thanksgiving Day. Besides the
tootball game in the alternoon, a cross
country race, in which nearly every
college of athletic repute In tlio west
will enter men, will be held lit the
morning.
James D. Lightbody. captain of the
University Cross-country club, this
morning announced l)ls plans and pros
pects for the race. During the sum
mer he has been at work on the forma
tion of an association among western
colleges which will make, the annual
ross-country race one of the big ath
letic features of the year. All the
"Big Nine" have signified their In
tention of entering teams and the long
distance t miners are already at work
beveral other univeisitles have also
asked to send teams, and It Is prob
able that fourteen institutions will be
represented In the lace on Thanksgiv
ing morning. Michigan. Wisconsin
Illinois, Northwestern, Iowa, Purdue,
Indiana. Minnesota. Chicago, Belolt.
Nebraska. Oberlln, Notre Dame and De
Pa uw.
"The course committee will probably
select the Midway, Jackson Park
course, as most suitable for the tun.
which vill be between tlx and seven
miles long. A prize will be given to
the winning team
"Chicago's piosiocts for a good team
are promising. Captain I Ightbody said
this moining that besides the men of
last yeai's team several good mile and
two-mile men had entered from the
high schools. Purdue, Nebraska and
Michigan will also be exceptionally
s.trong "
Tiainlng for this event and the cross
country run In St. Louis November
17 began last night when Captain
States lead out the first -bunch of
c roi.s-country men. Another tun will
be taken this afternoon at 2:3u from
the gym.
At basketball practice Thursday af
ternoon only enough men wore o.it to
form two teams, Captain Hoar and
Manager Beers being the only old
players. Another practice will be hold
this afternoon at 2:30 and It is desired
that all candidates or positions be
out.
As yet It Is too early In the season
to Juaim what games will be played,
but negotiations will probably bo be
gun with Colorado for a game while
our football team Is thero. Two years
ago Nebraska played Colorado at
Boulder, winning by a score of 28-12.
Since that time the two universities
have not met at basketball. Practice
In the gym this afternoon at 2;30.
As usual, the Dally Star gets the
drop on Its competitors by displaying
bulletins of the Nebraska-Colorado
game. This afternoon the Star will
mark tho various plays by telegraphic
bulletins. The game begins at 3:20,
and It should be remembered that Den
ver tlmo differs from outs by one
hour.
