Freshmarr President Captured Fresh Fish. In J 8treet Fountain -Class Meetings. At ten o'clock yesterday morning crowds of Sophomores and Innocent spectators began to congregate In the vicinity or Memorial Hall, where the Freshman Class was scheduled to hold Us first meeting. Chancellor Andrews, ten janitors, the chief of police, the city jailer and JohnUhl were also present. The Freshmen were allowed, to en ter the hall unmolested, while thq Sophomores held their meeting in the Chemistry Lecture Room. As soon as the Sophs had selected their president they marched over to Memorial Hall, but were dissuaded , from starting anything by tho Chan cellor, John Uhl and a number of Jam tors. Tiring of the lack of excitement and Incited by the big crowd of onlookers, a-number of Sophomores and Seniors seized a prominent Junior and started tq. rush him off to the northeast gate of the campus. In the scrimmage the Junior fainted and was carried, homo In a hack. Smith, a Sophomore, who was mixing in tho fracas, received a blow In the jaw which necessitated his being carried home. 1 v At tho close of, the Freshman meet ing, Heskett, the president-elect, made p. dask for his recitation room in Uni versity Hall, but was caught ere ho had moved many steps. Harry Swan, and George Wallace put in strenuous efforts, to rescue him, but the Sopho mores were in force and Heskett was marched across the football field to Tenth street, where a grocery wagonj was pressed into service. Heskett was placed aboard under the guard of Har rison, Dobbs, Bennisdn, Drake and several other stalwart Sophs. The Freshmen made a futile attempt to unharness the horse, Then the wagon, 'followed, by a howling throng of Sophs, was driven down to, O street,, and thence on Twelfth and .Eleventh to J J street; where Heskett and. four otheYs wore tosse'd, gently-but. firmly into tho biK fountain pool, and enjoyed tho luxury of a bath at the city's expense. The Sophs marched back to tlio campus in triumph, the air echoing with, their ells. About the big rock they assembled in a pow-wow, and rati fied Mr. Heskett's election to tho Freshman' presidency. The Sopho more president was; crowned with tho noble diadem -a Sophomore cap and tlie meeting adjourned sine die. What They Say Ab'qut ft.

Nebraska 5, Drake 0. -Last Saturday, again, Nebraska mot with an. unexpectedly stiff proposition and again, after a hard Struggle, her team pulled out-tho victory by a nar row margin. Outweighed ton pounds to the man and handicapped by in juries, the team put up a most plucky and creditable game. Thruout tho first half honors worV practically oven, neither sidcTscorlng. At tho beginning of the second half Nebraska took a brace and tore up, the Drake defense, scoring In tho first few minutes of play. Aftor this tho,. ball traveled back and forth, boTii' sides punting frequently, but no ' fur ther scoring Was done. Tho Drake team was heavy and fairly fast, th0lr lino mon charged well and gavo their Cornhusker op ponents plenty to do to hold their own. Their quarter-back and right half, Taylor hndL&yerln, did good Work In carrying the ball and were In large part responsible for Drake's gains. While tho work of the Nebraska team stilLaliowed many Haws, it w'nstt very manifest improvement on that of a week ago. The most encouraging feature was the way that, at least" twice, tho tbrim got togofchor and tore thru all opposition as tlio nothing could1 stop it. 1 Flashos of " play like thlB; show what the team Is capablo of and what we may expect when it reaches its full development, and that It has the real fighting spirit that will be stopped by nothing regardless ofodds. Tho forward pass was'nof usod by either team and with tho exception that more end runs were tried and that both teams woro forced to punt frequently, tho game resemblod very much the old style football. Coach RlsTTne of Ames.wJtnes8od , the .game and expressed confidence ill (he ability ,of his team . to defoat us. -nex't Saturday. Hpwover, he will find that how easy it looks is vory .differ- Unt from how easy it is. Tho game iri detail follows: f At 3:40 p. J)i., Little Kicked off to Evans on the 10 yard line. JEyans re-, turned to the 30 yard lino and Drake,, by a series of lino plungps, made tho required 10 yards. Nebraska' got thej. ball on a fumble close to the 50 yard, line and punted it back to .the 12 yard line. An exchanbo of fumbleB, fol lowed, glying brake the ball on her own 10 yard line, and she punted to McDonald on the 40 yard line, Mc Donald failed to gain around, tho end, Denslow made five yards thru tackle and Nebraska lost thoball, on downs on Drakq's 30 yai;d line. Loverin plunged thru tucklo for 5 yards, Evans circled our end, for 10 nibre, and Taylor 'added 5 around the other. Here Drake was. penalised five, yards, for off'-sldo play and punted Drain at once booted the oyal- to Drake's 45 yard line, and LoyerJn (Continuod ori page 1.)
