NO FINAL GAME
8ENI0R8 AND FRE8HMEN WILL
NOT PLAY OFF TIE.
Cold Weather Congeals Football Ar
dor Players Fear Frozen Ground
8weaters for Both Teams.
The captains and -.managers of the
Senior and Freshman football teams,
at a mebtlhg held yesterday morning
.. at the Convocation period, definitely
decided not to play off the tie that
Exists between the two teams for the
interclass championship this soason.
This slop was taken after maturo
deliberation on the part ' of all con
cerned in the settlement of the cham
'plonshlp series, and in View of the con
dition of the athletic field and of the
weather. It is the concensus of opin
ion among the players of both teahis
that a final gamo would be Inadvisable
' and detrimental to the teams from r(
physical standpoint and it is claimed
that a disposition of the money on
hand can bo made that will bjsatis-
factory to all who have participated
in the winning games.
Tiio members of bpth teams are re
quested to meet In U. 109 on Monday
morning at the Gonyocatlon hour to
decide how swentersshall be awarded
and whether class numerals shall be
used at all.. There, are several alterna
tives in the wiys suggested to reward
the members' of the two teams which
are. tied. fOne of these is that all
players in the teams in question shall
receivo sweaters without numerals,
The Second suggestion Is that the play
eraaf both teams be allowed, to wear
their class, numerals. The final plan
, -proposed Is, that sweaters with numor-.
alsVbe awarded only to those members
of1 ttHKjyJnning teams, who mako the
all-class teamt while plain sweaters'
are awarded toall the other men in
both teams.
The- all-class team is to. bo picked
by a committee appointed by the lnr
terclasB athletic board, and it is
thought that the last suggestion will
be adopted. There is more than $100
'tq. bo, divided between the teamB and
excellent sweaters are assurd to 'all
of their members.

mooting whlcn the Seniors held last
Thursday the Nobraskan stated that
the hatycommltteo, whoso report was
not accepted, was Instructed to try

ing to nil concerned. The Nobraskan

hat commltleehas received no further
Instructions of any kind.
The matter is to bofireshod out at
the next meeting of thoclasB which
Is to be held next Tuesday morning
and a decision will be reached at that
time. Precendent Is all in favor of
tho hats, but the sentiment of tho
present Seniors Is for the most part
decidedly apathetic. ,
