Awkward Aprang-ement w, Justified by Circumstances. w sy w Tyyyywwwrnwwy"Byyyi yyyyyyyTyyyyTypppppyT The Nebraifttan has rpcelvod the fol lowing letter from Mr. Emory R. Buckner, last year's football managor. The letter explains Itself: "Editor Dally Nebraskan: "One more successful scaEon has just closed and Nebraska collogo spir it Is now more. than over before a real ization. The Nebraska men at Har vard have waited anxiously the issue of each gamel and have especially re joiced at the spirit displayed through- cut the entire season. "I think a word may not be amiss suggestive oL the considerations which the. athletic board and management last year found thrust upon them and which same considerations must pre vail in tho councils of future boards until Nebraska shall have become as securely financially anchored as aro the big teams of tho east or as are Michisran and Minnesota. A fresh man rwith a penoll- and pa,per could i have arranged a rar more laeai Bcncn ule, If all teams and all dates were at 'his beck and call, and If he were .not " compelled to- keop ever before Ms - exfiftiibe, box. offlca, Tpbe..,19pl.Bchedule was the result of three months' care ful and prayerful consideration on' the part of tie athletic board, for every game, no' matter how small, was scheduled after thorough discussion by" the board and manager. The al most pathetic spectacle was afforded of that body'A gazing long ana naru at its sorry looking purse, earnestly wishing to maintain tho scale of of; ficiency which Nebraska had sot In tho matter of training-table, equip ment, etc., standing with its hands idly and holplossly-. in Its pockets, as It were, am looking at its aisflgured and rapldjyj receding atliletlcr field and ' which it was told must be put Jn' , shape at least partly at its own ox pense and yet still striving to ap- '" piroach a reasonahle"achedule from tho Heam'si standpoint, and which would win the approval of the Btudent body such was the sotting from which the 'preposterous' and 'unthinkable ' 1904 schedule emerged. "What was the matter with the schedule? Several things decidedly from an 'ideal standpplnt. In the first place tho Colorado mistake. The history of this mistake dates back to 1002 -when experienced m,en like Dr. Hill and Mr. ,Wyer wore still on the board.

It was too late to cancel the Colorado game though we trlod every legitimate means. The dissi pation of the Denver bubble made It ofisy for the Colorado management to transfer the game to Boulder, a still higher altitude. So much for Colo- .

Tho Juniors put the Seniors out of the race for inter-class championship yesterday by defeating them 15-0, Cook, of '00, being responsible for tho three touchdowns of tho Juniors. In splto of their 'much greater weight, the men of '06 could not make head' way against the Senior line and their points were made by end runs. . Saturday tho varsity basket ball team goes out University Place for a game with Wesleyan. Thi3"Wllbe-a jjpod game, for Wfesleyan puts out a goon ieam, ana xney win uavo tne aa-; vantage of their own floor. The price' of admission will not bo great and a good crowd of university men should go out and help tho boys win. About twenty-flvo men reported foe basket ball practice last night arid most of them were given a chance to play. At times tho work was very ragged and inaccurate, but at others the passing was swift and sure and goal throwing good. Hagenslck, at forward, showed up best at scoring goals. Manager Boers is at work on an extended schedule, but no definite dates have yet been decided upon. Interest in- tho proposed iritor-com-munlcattng telephono .syatom Is still increasing, and so far as can bo as .cortained neither of tho contesting telephone companies has been awarded tho contract aa yet. Both companies with their, support ers, aro busily engaged in bringing tho interested parties to their way of thinking, and war Is still on. The Bell company seems to bo con fident of success for a report came to The Nebraskan ofllco yesterday to tho effect that tholr agents, wero so liciting among1 the faculty for their house 'phones, and wero holding out as an Inducement the statomont that thoy had been awarded tho contract for tho university 'phones., and that It would be well for tho faculty to have the same system in their homes. A Nebraskan reporter was sent out to investigate the report and found that two members of tho university faculty had been thus approached, bf. was'asaured by tho authorities that nolthor company has boon awarded . the contract as yet. Meanwhile tile war is still on ana It is to be hoped that the ques tion will Boon bo settled, in order that whichever tolophone is selected may bo In use as soon as possible. A system, such as Is proposed Is a long felt want at the university and it 1b expected that It will soon become a reality. Meanwhile statements that one company or tho other has got the business can be discounted 100 per cent, as they have boon thoroughly Investigated and found to be untrue. Liederkranz Meeting. - On next Thursday morning from 11 to 11:30 o'clock, In Palladian Hall, the German students will have their first Liederkranz meeting. Last year these weekly gatherings for tho sing ing of German folksongs were so en joyable and so profitable that many students have been anxious to take up the work again. The authorities of the department were only waiting Tor the close of the football season before starting the Liederkranz meet ings. The same work aB last year's Tonger'a 100 Volkslleder will be used.- AH -Gorman students aro .cor dially Invited to assist in and profit by these informal gatherings. ' . ' ' . i t ' J. Clark Mitchell," who attended tlje university, last year, reports a suc cess fur'fall's work In his superin tendence of the sqnoois ac juusxicq, Nebraska. - . The following modest announce? ment is clipped from "Silver and Gold" of tho University of Colorado: "Next year our program In football will be to obtain as many inter-state games as we wish. Wo shall then play, the stato team which succeeds lndofeating the other three state in stitutions. This will obvlato the ne cessity of our playing state teams of high school ability and will still al low us to contest for the champion ship of .Colorado?' ANOTHER PELAY No Bids Accepted for Adminis tration Building. At the meeting of the building com mittee of the board of regents, which closed Monday night, the bids for the construction of the new administra tion building were all rejected because none of them came within the Umlts of the aproprlatlon ($35,000) for the building. The contract for the plumh- lng and heating of the physics bully ing was awarded to the Korsmeyer company of Lincoln. Tho contract fqr plumbing and heating In the building at the stato farm was awarded to the Pomerlne company. . . GETS NEW POSITION.
