UP II) MICHIGAN
CONFERENCE DECIDE8 THAT THE
RULES MUST BE OBEYED.
Resolutions Passed Declaring There
Can Be no Compromise Ne
braska Must Also Obey.
A special meeting of the Intercol
legiate conference was held at the
Auditorium Hotel, Chicago, for the pur
DOBe of determining the athletic sta
tues of the University of Michigan. A
short time ago Michigan notltled the
members of the conference that it was
her intention to disregard two of the
conference rules when playing with
non-conference institutions. This dec
laration raised a doubt as to whether
the other conference institutions
should compete with Michigan under
these conditions. A baseball game be
tween Michigan und Chicago was
scheduled for April 13, and Chicago
was of thp opinion that the game
should 'not bo played unless Michigan
expressed her intention of abiding by
all of the conference rules. In order
to settle the matter definitely and of
ficially Chicago asked for a meeting of
the conference.
After a long and careful consultation
of the whole matter the conference
passod the following resolution:
"Resolved, That in the judgement of
this conference there should ho non-inter-course
In athletics between the
members of the conference and any
member that does not conform in full
to the conference rules.
This means, of course, that Michi
gan wHl have no games with confer
ence institutions in any department of
athletics unless she obeys all of the
conference rules. The meeting was a
harmonious one, yet the conference did
not ;feel that any member could bo al
lowed to set aside any part of the con
ference rules.
The fehovo resolution does not mean
tha Michigan is out of the conference.
As yet, Michigan has violated no con
ference rule, and the other members of
tho conference seem anxious that she
refrain t from so doing. If Michigan
should allow it to become known that
she would enfprco the conference rules
in the future as she has done in the
past the baseball gameB and track
meots scheduled with conference col
leges for this spring might still take
place. ' No meeting of tho conference
would be necessary to bring this
about.
The following resolution was also
passed: '
"Resolved, That no conference uni
versity shall play with any non-conference
institutions' of the Middle
West of similar class athletically
that, is, one which competes with any
member of the conference on a basis
o'f athletic euality except under con
ference' rules ' of eligibility." . This
means that such institutions as Ne
braska, Ames and Wabash must con
form to conference rules when play
ing conference colleges. The resolu
tion becomes effective September 1,

Chancellor Andrews has been con
fined to his home for several days

he is no w.rapldly recovering and will

ANOTHER BATTLE.
Freshmen Defend Their Hat in An
other Hard Struggle.
The disturbance between tho Sopho
more and tho Freshman classes was
not destined to end with the annihila
tion of a single FreBhman hat last
Wednesday. Yesterday morning sev
eral of the offending headgears again
appeared on tho campus, and at eleven
o'clock one of these Was tracked to
near tho Mechanic Arts Hall, where
the conflict of the previous day was
renewed. Again tho combatants gath
ered as by magic and oven in greater
numbers than they had the day be
fore, and for forty-five minutes the
enthusiasts wallowed in the mud and
slush in front of M. jHall.
The combat was by no means free
from the Interference of third par
ties. As the crowd sureed to tho side
of tho building, some gracious peace
maker, from his safe retreat In the
second story, dumped several bucket
fuls of cold water on the heads of tho
combatants. TIiIb, however, failed to
dampen their ardor, and the Janitor on
the first floor directed a hose out of
the window and proceeded to sprinkle
tho boyB. Evidently ho had under
estimated the amount of wit In tho
crowd, for he was smiling broadly at
his own Joke whqn a clover Freshman
slipped Jo thQ side .of the yylndow,
grasped the hose, and turned' the
stream into the grinning countenance
at a range of eighteen Inches.
The scrap continued until nearly
noon, when it ended in the sheer fa
tigue of both sides, 'the Freshmen still
in possession of tho dilapidated hat.
a rew moments later a crowd bf the
Fj-eBhrnen gathered, about the big rock,
mounted upon it one of their number
who defiantly waved a green hat, but
as the Sophs approached, all disap
peared. Both sides claim the victory and
the situation stands as it did after tho
Wednesday mix-up.
Band Concert.
A rather small but exceedingly an-
preciatlve audience heard tho Cadet
Band give an excellent program last
evening at the Oliver. The selections
were well chosen and well rendered.
An especially effective encore, called
tho "Baby Parade," which brought
down tho house and lent levity to the
rather heavy character of tho pro
gram, was given. Interspersed with the
band selections wore several solos by
Miss Upton, which were regularly re
warded with encores.
. The baccalaureate sermon which
was to have been delivered by Chan
cellor Andrews before tho graduating
class of the State Farm next Sunday
evening has been given up becifcise of
the Chancellor's illness.
Professor and Mrs. Davisson give a
dinnor at their homo at 220 South
Twenty-sixth street Monday evening
to the graduating class at .tho Stato
Farm.
Frank C. Bullta Is pledged to tho
Phi Dlta Thett fraternity.
Dr. Bessoy has been requested by
tho Nebfaska Teacher to write an arti
cle on "Teacher Vacations,-" telling
how they may employ them- most ad
vantageously. '
JUNIOR8 SU8PENDED.
Entire Class Escorted From the Cam
pus of Drury College.
The ontlro Junior class, consisting of
thirty-four membors, at Drury College,
Springfield, Mo., wore suspended by
the college faculty last Wednesday for
refusing to apologize for resolutions
drawn up and presented to tho fac
ulty on Monday. Tho resolutions de
manded that tho social privileges that
were taken from tho cIbbb bo restored
and that a bill for stolon Ice-cream,
presented to Wyatt Brandon of tho
Junior class, be withdrawn.
It nppears that at a Senior rocop
tlon held at the home of President
Klrbve. tho entire sunnlv of lc nrnnm
was stolen before the time for serving
refreshments, and the charge of tho
theft was laid to a Junior named
Brandon from Arkansas. Tho faculty,
taking action on tho matter, excommu
nicated the Junior class from tho so
ciety of tho school and demanded that
Brandon pay for tho cream. It was
this that led to the resolutions and
the consequent suspension of the class.
Tho entire class was formally escort
ed from the campus by President Kir
bye on Wednesday morning. Tho en
tiro school is in a state of excitement
over the event, and little attention is
being paid to classes and studies. The
Freshmen at once held a meeting and
voted unanimously to Btand by 'the
Juniors, and mako an effort to have
them reinstated.
VIFQUAIN RELICS.
Historical 8oclety Acquires Valuable
Historical Remains.
The Historical Society' "recently ac
quired two relics of unusual Interest.
Both wore possessions of the late Gen
eral Victor Vlfqualn. Tho one is a
44-callbro Smljth and Wesson revolver
In excellent condition secured from
tho death-grasp of Qarza, tho noted
Mexican bandit, who made Uncle Sam
so much trouble some fifteen' years
ago. The other relic Is a pair of brass
spurs worn by General Vlfqualn all
thru the Civil War.
General Vlfqualn settled In Nebras
ka at the forks of the Blue river in
1849. When the Civil War broke out
he went east and enlisted at once, hav
ing had a 'soldier's training in France
before coming here. Ho was a mem
ber of Nebraska's Constitutional Con
vention, and was later Adjutant Gen
oral of Nebraska. It was while he was
Consul-Gcneral at Panama under Mr.
Cleveland's administration that Gen
eral Vlfqualn was given Garza's re
volver, Garza having been killed In a
fight with the sheriffs at that time.
Y. M. Board -Meets.
Tho Advisory Board of the Y. M.
C. A. met last evening to discuss, tho
matters of furnishing tho new rooms
In the Temple and the hiring of a sec
retary for tho coming year. A report
of the 'amount and style of furniture
necessary for the new quarters will
bow obtained at once and plans made
for securing It. It is thought possible
that various firms and individuals,
alumni and students in the University
at present would be willing to dpnato
each a separate piece. The name' of
the donor would be placed on the arti
cle 'In the form of a, brass plute.
Mr. J. Der KInderen will be retained
as secretary for another year.
