'y, " N Before an audience which strained tho capacity of Memorial Hall lo Its utmost, the University Glee Club mado its bow for tho year of 1906-1607 at Convocation yesterday morning. Most of the selections rendered were parts of the club's roportoiro last year, but were nori'e the less acceptable for that reason. , The" opening Bong, "The Scarlet und the Cr.eara," winding up with the Uni versity yell, put tho audience Into an enthusiastically rocopttvo mood, and BrahnTsx "Lullaby" was applauded to the ' echo. v A whistling solo by Mr. Ireland brought forth "vigorous de mands for an encore, but tho limited time available prevented the re appearance of Nebraska's "whistling baruVir r NAncarrangoment of "My Old Ken tucky HomeV as a solo by George Johnston', wltlv humming obllgato and chorusby the Glee ClUb, was most creditably rendered and gave great promise for further work by the club along that line. Instead of tho male ' quartet which had beon advertised to appear, fin "elevontot" offered two of the most catchy numbers of last year's program, the J'PIckanlny Lullaby" and "Nut Brown Maiden,"- tho latter of which gave the first cHance for a heartyvlaugh in tho entire, program. The last-selection was a new ono, . -. . . entitled The Pope," and was, excel lently rendered. Taking everything Into consideration, the club showed up extremely well. Somoentrances were trlflo rough 'and, in thov',Scarlet and Cream" song, there was a very notice able confusion of words, but in other respects wo have nothing but praise. The "quality of voices in tho club this, year is fully up to the standard and there is every, reason to believe that the club- will meet with at least as equal an artistic success as did the organization last year, FRATERNITY HOU8E.BURN8. : ' .

Freshmen Outplay Seniors Seniors1 Miss Frqe Kick by Small Mar . gin Large Crowd Out. V Tho Senlor-FroBhman football game which was played yostorday afternoon resulted in no scoro on .oithor side, nnd was probably tho most florcoly contested class gamo that has boon played upon Nebraska Flold for ypars. Thoro Is no doubt that tho Frosh mon outplayod tho Seniors at ovory point oxcopt at punting, whoro How ard clearly surpassod Boltzor, the Freshman punter, but tho Sonlors would undoubtedly havo scored u flold goal in tho first half if thoy had not played in a, little hard lucks- With the wind, blowing strongly against him, v Howard tried a placo kick from tho forty-flvo yard lino, which fell Into tho arms of tho Freshman quarter back, just botweon tho goal posts. It was certainly ono of the prottlost kicks that has been made on tho grid Iron in n gamo this season, and do sorvod n llttlo bettor luck. However, in tho toam work tho Freshmen outclassed thoir opponents, making their first down four or five times to tho Seniors' once. The Freshmen tackles opened great holes In tho lino, which enablod the backs to go thru for four or five yards at a lirao. " In thoflrst half 'tho ball was mostly In the Senior" territory, withVono ox ception, whon? byn fumblethe Seniors gained possession of the oval In the Freshman territory, Here an attempted place kick by Howard gave the Freshmen tho ball again, "and the half ended. t Tho second half was played all over the field, with tho laurels all In favor of the Freshmen. They rushed the ball down the field, making their dis tance often and consistently. An, at tempted place kick by Bbltzer on the thirty-five yard line was blocked, but tho Freshmen gained the ball a mo ment later on u fumblo and tried an other "klpk from the thirty-five yard lino. Tho ball rolled over to tho east sldcTof tho field and was secured by a Freshman on the ten yard line. A lino buck netted four yards, and things looked blue, for the Seniors, but. the reforee's whistle saved them from dis grace and time was called. ' Tho game will probably be played off some tinie noxt week, and will no doubt attract a larger crowd than was present yesterday, altho a j larger,, crowd witnessed the gamo than has been present at a class gamo for many years. Over forty-threo dollars w&s taken in at tho gate,' which together with the fifty already on hand, In sures for tho winning team a sot of the finest sweaters and caps that can bo obtained. Tho Hpe-up was as announced in yesterday's Nebraskan, Turner 'being tho only substitute used. He went in at left end for the Seniors to replace Sunderlin. Coach Stuart was referee ' and Rice was umpire. I "V. v "s" -v ; - l
