Sophomores Meet:
The Sophomore class met yesterday
at 11 tk( m.'in Mqmorlal hall to hear
the report of the Sombrero represen
tation and' class play committees. The
class play committee reported that the
play had proved a greater success than
even the commltte itself had anticipat
ed and that they had realized about
thirty-four dollars. !
Chairman De Young, of the commit
tee on representation-in the Sombrero,
stated that after considerable discus
sion and figuring with the Sombrero
Board the committee had' decided to
take five pages in the annual. Mr. Do
Young further stated that according
to the plans of the committee one page
would1 be taken up with pictures of the
class officers, one would contain a
WTiteupi of the history of the class, a
third would contain a reproduction tho
proclamation ("lcfolc") got out last
year, a forth wouldn)e devoted to pic
tures of the elass football and basket
ball teams, and tho fifth would be for
a history oft tho class athletic teams.
It was suggested by a member of tho
class that the Sombrero representation
committee had not been as economic as
it might. Not a little Interest was
created by the statement. Tho volo
however? would indicate that the ques
tion was rather onesided. When the
question was put to a vote three bal
lots Indicated the strength of the op
position to the action of the committee
and the remainder of the class voted to
sustain it in its action.

ANOTHER ADDRESS.
Prof. Goss Again Talks Entertain
ingly to Engineers.
At nine o'clock yesterday morning
Professor Goss gave his second lecture
to tho students in engineering. H1b
subject this time was "Locomotive
Performance" and was more of a tech
nical nature than his talk on Monday
night and) for .this reason was attended
mostly by engineering students, who
filled Memorial -hall to its capacity.
He explained tho modern methods or
Locomotive testing and dwelt particu
larly upon the problems of increasing
the efficiency of) engines. Anything
which Increased the efficiency of an
engine, thereby increases its power,
and he mentioned the different modern
devices which were employd to bring
about this efficiency. Among the things
mentioned was the tendency of modern
locomotive builders to enlarge the
grate for the engine Are. A few years
ago the fire box was built between the
drivers and was very narrow compared
with the modern engine with the fire
box extending clear above the drivers.
With these large grates, almost 20
per cent of the fuel, which otherwise
goes up through the smoke Btack is
saved. Another point mentioned along
this line Is the increased size in boil
ers and heating surface. Ten years
ago engines were built with a standard
of 1,500 feet of heating surface as com
pared with the three or four thousand
feet of surface In the modern locomo
tive. This is a very important help in
increasing the efficiency of an engine.
Another departure from former engine
building is the increase In pressure car-
ned by the boiler. As compared with.
the standard of about 140 pounds which
was carried a few years ago, engines
now carry as high as 200 to 225 pounds
of steam. Professor Goss was, how
ever, skeptical-as to the advantages of
this departure In locomotive building.
The next great departure mentioned
by Professor Goss was the enlarged
drivers now used on locomotives. Up to

go, the largest drivers in use on loco
motives wore 62 Inches In diameter and
the American deslro for great speed
naturally found us running engines
with a speed which compelled tho
drivers to rotate sometimes as many as
400 revolutions per minute, which is
entirely too high a speed to keep re
pairs at a minimum. This difficulty
has been overcome by making drivers
with a diameter of seventy or eighty
inches, which gives the proper speed
desired and does not compel the .driv
ers to rotate so fast as to make it un
desirable.
Professor Goss mentioned several
other Improvements in methods and
devices which were of a more or less
techlncal nature and are therefore not
mentioned.
Professor Goss left yesterday after
noon for Ames, Iowa, where he ex
pects to address the students there
along similar lines. While here he was
the guest of Professor Richards, who
is, by the way, one of his former stu
dents at Purdue University. On the
whole his visit was very much enjoyed
by the engineers, and President Glbbs
of the engineering society, together
with the professors, who were Instru
mental In bringing him here, are to be
complimented for the success their
efforts attained.
A large ciowd attended the meeting
of tho Students' Debating club Satur
day evening. Several new men, who
are Inspired by the work which the society-has
accomplished in the past have
signified their Intention of adding their
names to the roll.
Tho "parliamentary scrap" was un
usually animated and Involved so many
technical points that a committee was
appointed to report on the controverted
questions.
The question debated was, "Resolved,
That the Dodgo Primary Bill now be
fore the Nebraska state legislature
should be passed.
Edgar F. Davis, '04, football mana
ger for the season Just past, has re
moved to Om6ha where has is estab

Juniors Dedicate Their "Annual'
to Head of Engineering School.
Record or Thirteen Yearn Is Appreciated
Br Student.
The Sombrero Board announced yes
terday that tho Sombrero will be ded
icated to Professor Charles Rubs Rich
ards, director of tho school of mechan
ics arts, as a token of appreciation
for tho Invaluable sorvicos which he
has rendered to the engineering depart
ment of the University. Prof. Richards
came to Nebraska in 1892 after having
taken his degree of M. E. at Purdue
University the yoar boforo. Ho took
his degree of M. M. E. In 1895 at Cor
noll and in 1898 he was promoted to the
Directorship of the School of Mechanics
Arts.
Some doubt was entertained as to
tho desirability of tho dedication of
the Sombrero being made by the Board
c by the Junior class. It was decided,
however, that the matter was of too
delicate a nature to put to the nomina
tion and vote of a class which would
necessitate undue publicity for the
nominees, not chosen. The dedication
was consequently made by the Som
brero Board In secret meeting.
"Gym" Exhibition.
.Dr. Clapp is making arrangements
for a gymnasium exhibition that will
surpass by far every other exhibition
ever given in the University. Two
hundred men will compete and take
part In the exhibition which will more
than has ever taken part In an athle
tic contest In Nebraska.
The work will consist of class work
by the different gymnasium classes and
advanced work by other men In the
University and some post graduates.
Tho work by the classes will form a
preliminary to the more advanced
work. The work dono by those ad
vanced men will be something alto
gether new for the University public
as Dr. Clapp expects to have-the men
put on work of a different form from
all other previously dono by a gymna
sium team. Tbe date and program
for this exhibition has not been decided
upon yet but will appear fn a few
days.
Baseball practice continues and
while there are not quite so many men
out this cool weather yet there are
enough to warrant good practice. Yes
terday fifteen men reported.
Manager Allen will have a practice
game for the men on next Saturday
with either Cotner University or Wes
leyan. The game, will boplayed on the
home grounds and the baseball enthu
siasts will have an opportunity to get
a line on the new candidates for tho
'varsity. The vacancies In the base
ball schedule for the eastern trip have
not yet been filled out but will be In
the near future.
