',' I 'r'-f I '; A LABELED LAMB And the Big Rock Brings Sophs and Freshies Together. Fortyflve Mlnntea Scrap (Uvea Victory T 'OH. Not since- the famous Big Rock scrap in- 1900 has there been such a coming together of the underclassmen as oc curred at Convocation time yesterday morning. The battle of yesterday was perhaps fiercer than the famous one, but co-ed spirit was' sadly lack ing. UnHke the girls of 00 who gal lantly upheld the weaker sex with hatpins, teeth, finger nails and hair pulling, yesterday's rough housolng was teft to the men. And it oil happened because of a harmless little lamb, and a couple of labels. Tho lambkin was tethered to the fence In front of U Hall and la beled "A Lost Freshman." The Fresh men viewed with disgust and aversion both the sign and the signed, and succeeded- In removing the obnoxious labelc. For a time this seemed to end things until the Sophomores, with nothing else to do. took possession of the ancient . bone of contention, the Big Rock, and stated in no doubtful terms that it was theirs and that they would hold it until the bells called them to class room. And then the coming together oc curred. For three quarters of an hour the boasting Sophomores tried to make good their boasts, and for three quar ters of an hour the Freshies scrapped to prove them false, and In the end the Freshies had the better of the ar gument. For a time It was an even break as to which class had posses sloTof the coveted place the most, and for a time it was equally hard to de termiive whose yells were loudest, but superior numbers, or something else final)' brought '08 more and more on top. The Freshies staid longer before the eyes of the admiring and cheering public, and their yells grew louder. v Finally, when both sides were too far exhausted to do much more effective scrapping some of the upper classmen prevailed upon them to stop, and amid howls of derision and scoffing from the Sophs, the decision was handed down for the plaintiff, and the Freshies were satisfied. And the Big Rock, robbed of a small quantity of-the owe time surrounding -vendue, but reimbursed -with dust, col lars, cuffs, coat tails, fountain pensV pocket knives, andjrven a gold watch, or two awaits another boastful pos sessor. The Sophs saylthe end is not yet. Doane Today. This afternoon tho 'Varsity baseball fc team meets Doane college on the 'Varsity diamond. The Doane team is a speedy bunch of players.

Tho 'Varsity baseball team won the second game from the Nebraska In dians on last Saturday by a score of 7-G. The 'Varsity found Ninhara. Gieen's southpaw, pretty frequently and by bunching their hits were able to send one more man ncrosB the plate than the Indians were able to. The game was one of the hardest contests played on the 'Varsity dia mond this year. But much wrangling on both sides married what otherwise ana very Interesting game. Gaddls surprised the fans by his heavy hit ting for of five, times to the bat he made two doubles and a single. This man has impioved much since tho first of the season and is now playing good ball. The work of the outfield for the 'Varsity was exceptionally good In Saturday's game. Fenlon succeeded In putting the figure four In the P. O. column to his credit. The team plays Doano college today In the last game before vacation and the last but one game before the east ern trip. DEFEAT INDIANS 'Vars ty Wins Second Game of Series From the Redskins. The Nebraska gymnastic team suc ceeded In capturing- second place in the Intercollegiate Gymnastic meet held In Bartlett Gymnasium, Chicago, Saturday evening. The winner of first place was Wisconsin. Johnson, a member of the team, won tho indi vidual championship, and Copeland won third place. In the six events Johnson scored 104 points to his op ponent's 98 points. Copeland had 1)4 to his credit. This Is Nebraska's first attempt In the gymnastic world and the effort has counted for much. The team, composed of two men, could not bo expected to take victory from a team of six, each one a sepcialist on one evont. This was the kind of a team Wisconsin sent down. For the team championship Wisconsin had 40; Ne bra8ka 12, and. Chicago 3 points each. Johnson got two seconds and two thirds, and Copeland received places In the events. Tho success of this team Is especially worthy of much merit and praise. Dr. Clapp accompanied the team. Frederick On "IMITYTIOIN" TONIGHT 7 O'CLOCK.. . . s it it i it H it it it it it n it a C it Amendment Admission 3! m WIN LAST CONTEST Girl's Basket Ball Five Defeat Omaha Y. W.C. A. 8ncoiiftil Close to n ftfoat StteccoMful llnaket Hall Bemion. The girls' basketball team Journeyed to Omaha Friday evening and defeated the Omaha Y. VV. C. A. team of that city in the Inst game of the basketball season. The score, 27 to 14, is a very fair indication of tho relative mollis ol' the two teams, considering too, the fact that tho floor played on was about the size of our chapel floor. The game was a fast contest, throughout, and the audlenco was very fair, applauding good plays rather than one team. For Nebraska Miss Jansa closed a remark able record at basketball by scoring nine points out of ten chances from foul. This was Miss Jansa's last gamo of her University career. She has been a member of the 'Varsity for four years and her place will be most difficult to fill. The girls, while In Omaha, were ploasantly entertained by the Omaha Association. For tho Omaha team MIbs Daker at forward did nearly all the work for her team. Nebraska's line for the last game was as follows: Forwards Miss Jansa, Marguerite Pillsbury. Center Alice Towne. Guards Inez Everett, Ineu Glttings. Miss Archibald accompanied the team, but did not have an opportunity to get into the gamo. Hoar, of Lincoln, and Miller, of Omaha, alternated as referee and um pire. Professor Fogg has received several congratulatory letters from old Ne braska debaters since the judges cabt the unanimous decision for the affirm ative last Friday evening In Memorial hall. The men still seem to have the some interest in Nebraska forensic work which characterized their Univer sity career. E. Bolton U IO5 ( WASHINGTON NEXT Strong Teamt Represent Ne braska and Washington.

Tonight In Memorial Hall, tho second big debate will occur, in which our teum will meet tho toam from Wash ington University, St. Louis. The de bato will be on the same question upo nwhlch Nebraska defeated lown, by unanimous decision of the judges Friday evening, namely: "Resolved, That the second Bontence of tho sec ond section of tho Fourteenth Amend ment to tho Constitution shoutU be repealed."

Three men who have never-before been In an Inter-collegiato fight will bo lined up against a team ,ho members of which have had from two to seven years training In college and a victory under such circumstances will be some thing to bo elated over.
