There Is but little can be urged against the prac tice qf maintaining a training table for the men during the football 'flea- eon and a very great jdeal could be said in support of the same. The main point is flrst that during ihis strenuous' .fferlbd tho men receive 'thd proper food 'and' tinder the iprdper sui porvlslon of, the coach if ithere is a training table. Further, than this, ly association a spirit of unity is' un questionably aroused which is essen tially' Important, and, whjch would ;bo largely held"in abeyance -iif 'tills -oppofc: tunity for close and continuous asso ciation should be denied. These fea tures, in the experience of Nebraska football authorities, nro worthy of grave consideration and should be duly Weighed before bolng definitely abandoned.- As to .the. eligibility 'clause, Nehras' ka'has been at nil times willing to concede these requirements and has had no difficulty when such conces sions were made. This is not a seri ous difficulty; ais! ...between Nebraska and the Conference schools because such a requirement is one that has a decided tendency to .maintain a high standard of. "scholarly attainment among the participants and is so rec ognized by all. The'"flhal questibn is as to the Thanksgiving daygamo and the financial importance (hereof. It is not sordid nor an evidence of a spirit of commercialism on the part of (the authorities in giving this sub ject due consideration, but is, on the other hand, plain common sense.

However, the prime object of the Athletic Board Is not to make football a money-making scheme only insofar as Is necessary to support those branches of athletics which are not self-supporting. Further than this, .finances are not a consideration. It, would seem-that Nebraska under 'the existing .circumstances ofher en Vlronment could not- accede to tnls re quirement.
