CAMP'S J)ECISI0N DECIDES THAT REFEREE OUT- OiKK3K0)K0KCHl GIRLS BASKETBALL BAND INFORMAL t - LAND ERRED. .Walter Camp Upholds the Claim of ! Ames, and 8ays the Aggies Are Entitled to Be Credited With the Game. A telegram, from Ames brings the astonishing news that she has the ..decision v of Walter Camp to uphold her claim- for the credit of the game of November 2. The captain of the Aggies' team Is said to have received a letter from Camp, to whom the 'dispute was referred, in which he de clares that Ames is entitled to the credit of the game, and that Referee Outland erred in his decision for Ne braska. It Is very hard to see Mr. Camp's logic in so deciding. The goal in gues tlon. was a fluke made by the ball bounding over the bar AFTER STRIKING HB-GLaUND. Accord ing to 11101907 rules, 'It the ball passes directly over one of the up rights, or if, after being kicked, it strikes an opponent and then passes over the cross-lbar or one of the up rights, it shall count a goal." No provision, as can be seen, Is made for a ball which strikes the GROUND "and then passes over." Apparently Camp has little better foundation for his decision than did the medieval scholastic eccleslasts -who, argued on l!how many angels could dance at the same time on the point of a needle." In the .rules no provision, except when it strikes an. opponent, .is jnade- for any obstacle struck during the pass-.-age of the ball from .the player's foot to the goal To the uninitiated it -would appear -that Camp considers himself authority, and therefore sets aside 'the rules he was instrumental in framing simply to give Ames the decision. Undoubtedly the Aggies made a desperate and determined ef fort to win the game, as was shown by Rupert's action. However, Camp should not give them the game be cause of their good intentions. . It is Interesting to learn that Ames -will push the matter no further. As a reason is given the friendly rela tions existing between the two col leges. Probably what is more Interesting and moreover consoling Is this: Ref eree Outland declared his decision final, from which there "was no ap peal, therefore, whatever Camp's opinion is, the score remains 10 to 9 against Ames., 'Lot us hope that the Aggies' defeat next 4 year at the Viands- of our Corn husker team will be so decisive as to make disputes on the interpretation of rules impossible. 9 It s announced by Professor Taylor T that the Mill course' in Political Econ omy will be given both semesters of next year.

Tne victory was a popular ono, -no sympathy of tho spectators seeming to lie, as always at such contests, chiefly with tho soniors or with the freshmen. Tho opening parade, an annual foa turo at the class tournaments, was headed by a handsome drum major, in full regalia, and his band of eight pieces, equipped wi , eavy brass in struments and a big drum. The pro cession that followed was too motloy to bo described. Mixed with the play ers were witches with brooms, brown ies, gnomes, Infants, teddy boars in sumptuous equipages, football girls, ghosts, "grinds' 'In capB and gowns, stalking corpses, and gay figures in pale blue, 'and In yellow and green. Also an unruly dog, ondowed with strong lungs. An enormous crowd saw the game, filling all the available, seats and overflowing into thp aisles, the window niches, and along the floor to the very edge of the side lines. Tho soniors won the first match, from the Juniors, by the score of 17 to 4. Nine of the seniors' 17 points were made in the first half of the match, all of them by Miss Klmmel. The latter ran up 2 pointslnore in the second ualf, wnile Miss Stevenson in creased the total by 6 more.

Miss Kimmel scored 7 points for tho seniors and Miss Stevenson and Miss Foster 2 each. The fresh men's points werp made by Miss Ra der, Miss Beghtol, and Miss Wilson. All in all, tho. star players of the afternoon were pronounced to be Miss Kimmel and Miss Stevenson for the seniors and Miss Rader for the fresh men. Miss Kimmel played a remark able game, covering the field with great swiftness throwing some extra ordinary goals, and never forgetting J to block her opponent Miss Steven son, playing most fearlessly, did al most equally arwell although she was much the ploser guarded" of the two during the afternoon, she had less op- '" pqrtunlty toroll up points..
