Weakened by, the absence or three of tJheir 'strongest players, Colorado Was yet able to give Colo's Cornhusk- ers a hard struggle, forcing the Ne braska; -men tof .thor utmdst to win. The CbrnhuBkers were forced to light desperately at times to protect tholr own goal, which has yet to be crossed this year, from Invasion by the Moun taineers and to score a victory re quired the hardest kind of fighting. The game was marked for Its clean play and general good feeling dis played by the opposing teams was evi dent. Much of the ground gained by both teams was a result of the punt ing, toy Captain Woller for the Corn huskers and Quarterback St'irrett of the Colorado team Stlrrett's punting was unusually strong throughout tho .game, Captain Woller having little the best of his opponent. Nebraska found It difficult to pierce the- sturdy line of the visitors. Save for the first part of the second half, when Nebraska started a fierce attack op the Mountaineers, Cole's pupils were unable to make consistent gains through thq Colorado line. Tho Colo rado ends and tackles did grout 'work Ip "breaking- up. the Nebraska plays and Kroger, and Weller wore seldom able to make good gains. The final play la which. Weller circled left end for forty-five yards was tho only time Nebraska was able to gain to any great extent around the ends. At the opening of the second half Nebraska regained Its power of at tack, and began a terrific battering which Colorado was unable to with stand, giving the Cornhuskers their second touchdown. This was one of tho most thrilling parts of the game. Fighting desperately, tho Westerners were forced "back toward tholr own goal, by tho hammering attacks of the, Nobraskans. With the ball on 1 Colorado's 3-yard line, Weller scored the touchdown through right tackle. The attack of the Colorado team 1 was more versatllo than that of the Cornhuskers, the Mountaineers being . able to - advancGwftiilh striking dls '' tnnco of Nebraska's goal several times. Aside from tho work of the two .punters, Weller and Stlrrott, tho fea- ture of (h'o game was tho success with ' which, the visitors worked tthe for- ward "pass. Five out of eight attempts ,tl.oy made it good for gains varying from 15 to 35 yards. Nebraska tried ,'the- forward pass twice, neither time . ",'bolng able to gain on them.

Tho first meeting of the Graduate Club of the University was held at tho home of Dean and Mrs. L; A. Sherman on Thursday evening. A large audience made up of members of the faculty and graduate students greatly enjoyed the address of Pro fessor F. M. Fling on "Recent Work on tho French Revolution," and the. address of Professor F. C. French In "Recent Work in Philosophy and Psychology." Professor Fling's re marks on tho proper relation between the head of a department and the I graduate student were timely and val uable. Professor French's story of Sally and "multiple personalities was greatly enjoyed and afforded much opportunity for farther discussion dur ing the social hour. Tho vocal num bers rendered by Mrs. Dobbs-Helms w.ere particularly pleasing and were enthusiastically encored. The social hour following the program was a delightful feature of the evening as It afforded an opportunity of meeting tho new members of the faculty ahd'grad uate students. r The purpose of the club Is to unify and stimulate graduate work In the University and every member of tho faculty and every graduate student Is entitled to membership and should avail himself of this privilege and consider it his duty to thus further graduate work In the University.

Tho following uro some of 'the flat tering notices which have been re ceived by Miss Bessie Abott, who will appear In tho concert at tho new Tem ple on tho evening of November, 1; One of the surprises nt tho Mo'tro polltnn Opera Hou&e, Now Y6rk, last season was the ability of Bessie Abott to respond to "distress" calls with master porformnnces of Important roles. 'Mr. H. E. Krohblel, of tho "Tribune," comments on one of these prize evenings, In words that flow with praise. v ' "Tho 'Indisposition' sign wont up again at the Metropolitan Opera Houso last night, and It bore tho word that Miss Bossle Ahott would sing "IVo letta" in "La Traviata," In place of Mmo. Sombrlch. Miss Abott's recent appearance In other parts at the oleventh hour have, howevor, been made so successfully that there was a lively and justifiably curiosity to see and hoar her as the "daily of tho Ca mellas." Tho youthful artist has un doubted qualifications for tho part, she can suggest fraillty in the literal sense, for she Is not Inevitably and always the picture of robust health;' she dan suggest tho fraillty of a woman, too affectionate,' and of the broken but terfly something of both were In her portrayal of "VIoletta."

Tho residential quad system, advo cated by John Corbln fqr Michigan University in his recent articlo on that' University, was rojectod last week by tho trustees of Princeton University. Tho board, ono of tho members of which is ox-Presldoht Clovolund, asked PreBldont Wilson, father of tho "quad" plan at Prlncot6n, to withdraw It. He compiled with its request. Tho quudrangular system as plan- nod for Michlgnn and Prlncoton would ncceuBltntq tho living, eating, and studying together of small groups of . students In halls or dormitories. Mr. Corbln proposed this "quad" systori) becauso ho thinks that It would fur nish for Michigan students "the In fluences that mako most strongly 'for character and culture by operating without Intormlssion In the normal, and inovltablo occupations outing and sleeping, work and play." Princeton has been cqmpollod to postpone tho adoption of the system, beoauso to establish It in entiro and at ono time would cost $2,000,000. If It Is pointed out, such would bo tho cost' for u university having somewhat less thnn 2,000 students, it certainly would not bo possible for tho Unlvof slty of Michigan with its 5,000 stu dents to adopt such n system" now, when It hns a yearly Income of only $000,000. In a loiter to tho Prlncoton "Alumni Weekly," Dr. Henry Van Dyke, who occupies tho Murray pro fessorship of English, opposos llie "quad" system because ho says it is un-Amorlcnn and a mpnaco to the democracy of Prlncoton. Although 'the conditions of life at Prlncoton aro different from those at Michigan, some of the objections raisod to tho ' system by Dr. Van Dyke could well apply to Michigan's cubo since the scheme 1b proposed for her. 'In his. letter Dr. Van Dyke asks, "Would a group of young men who, Instead of merely eating together, spent all their. freo time together, and lived entirely und6r ono roof within the walls- of tho same structure, be likely to escape from the spirit of t clique nnd oXcluslvoness?" 'Ho contends that the scheme would first produce social confusion and then social stratification. "This, after all," ho continues, "Is the alarming1 thing about tho .now scheme. It irf full of danger for the unity, for the fellow ship of tho undergraduate body. With all Its indefinlteness on practical points, its 'essential idea' is undemo cratic, separative, exclusive. It is distinctly an un-Amerlcari plan. It threatens not pnly to break up "the" classes, but also to put the Princeton spirit out of date, by forming perma nent, artificial groups of freshmen, (Continued on page 2.) K r - lis.
