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.

WIN SECOND PLACE
Nebraska's Gymnasts Do Excel
lent Work at Chicago.
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.

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.

llaoner to the Trophy Knout.
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." This sentence provides for
a reduction of a stute's representation
in Congress If It restricts Its suffrage
Nebraska will again maintain tho af
flimatlvo and will be represented by
Albert M. Levy, J. Dean Ringer nnd
Joseph M. Swenson.
Albert M. Levy, 1907, Lincoln, was.
a member of five victorious debating
teams while on the Lincoln high
school. In 1902 ho won the Nebraska
intor-scholnrshlp debate championship
foi Lincoln. Last year Mr. Ijcvy was
alternate on the Nebraska debating
team which dofeated Kansns.

inter-HcholarlBtic debates. He has
played football on the Nebraska team
for five years and baseball ono year.

Joseph M. Swenson, 1908, Omaha,
prepared for university at the Omaha
hlgn school. He represented tho high
school on several Inter-scholastlc de
bater twice in contests with the Chi
cago central high school.
The team has undergone four months
of stringent training under the super
vision of Prof. M. M. Fogg. The mem
hers aro loaded with evidence and
lully prepared to enter the fray and up
hold the reputation of Nebraska. They
have made the best of use of tho expe
rience gained by -absorbing the lowu
debate Friday evening, and Hlnce that
time have been making aucU altera
tions to their case as thoy deemed nee-.
essary. The case of Nebraska proved
to be Impregnable In the dobato with
Icwa, and with the Improvements
made, the prospects for another victory
are exceedingly bright.
- Washington comes here with a
strong team, two of her speakers be
ing graduate students and are veteran
debaters. We defeated Washington last
May at St. LqIIs but the Nebraska
team expects a harder fight tonight!
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. The follow-
Ing is the personnel of the Washington,;
team :
