Bruised.
Students gonorully will bo sorry to
learn that about a month ago Jack
Best, tho gonial trainer and attendant
In tho men's locker room, fell down a
flight of stairs and received injuries
from which ho has scarcely recovered
yet.
At tho time ho was acting as night
watchman, and while going down the
west Btalrs leading from tho first floor
of tho main hall to the basement,
knocked his lantern In such a way as
to put It out and loavo himself In the

coming unconecloua. Tho next thing
ho know waa when ho found himself
in a chair outsldo tho south door of
tho buttdlng, unable to move. Hero
ho was found somo tlmo later by
John Green, who summoned a hack
and had him taken homo, whoro ho
was confined to his bed for several
weeks. Whllo still sore and stiff, ho la
almost as good as now now, anU

Jack Isn't dead yet."
FRESHMEN RULE.
Nebraska's. Attitude Not Yet De
cided. Tho six months' resldenco rulo
adopted bytho Conforonco last year,
requiring that a atudont muat have
been In attendance at a school for six
months boforo engaging In athletics,
ha8 pot yet been adopted "by the board
at alhlotlc control and everybody is In
tho air as to Just what tho board will
do about It. Moat of the contracts
for games provide that they shall be
played under conforonco rules, but no
one can dony that to enforce this rulo
at Nebraska would almost destroy our
team and would result in a disastrous
season. For this reason Nebraska sen
timent is against tho adoption of tho
rulo, and it is probable that tho board
will so act. While such action would
probably lead to complications with
other colleges, It would enable Ne
braska to put a good team in the field.
