Varied Program Rendered Old 8ongs
Predominate Evidence of Un-
usually Good Material.
'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,

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.
