TO ELECT E00TBALL CAPTAIN Interest Is Centered in the Election of Captain for Next Year's Team, Which Will Be Decided at Today's Meeting. The Y. M. C. A. bn8lot-lmll Ave de feated the university team last even ing In the armory by the score of 34 to 16. The game was fiercely played throughout and rough playing was In dulged in by both sides. It was a fair example of what the game under the new rules can become. Jt Is doubtful if such a rough game was ever played on the armory floor be fore; It resembled football more than It did basket-ball and frequently play ers would be run into and thrown violently as they are on the gridiron. Although there are two officials pro vided for in this year's rulos, yet they were not able to prevent unnecessary roughness, oven though they called a great many fouls. Tho varsity play ers seemed to go in for rough play a little more than the Y. M. C. A. men did, probably on account of the fact that they have not been "called" for such tactics very strictly in practice. Strong Team Work. The Y. M. C. A. five excelled par ticularly In team work. Thoy were able to carry the ball down the lloor with greater success and their guard ing wus first class. At shooting bas kets the Waugh brothers and I). Mit chell did great work for the Y. M. team. Each of them contributed four Held goals und in addition Fred Waugh threw five free trials at' goal from fouls. 'the varsity team was considerably weakened by the absence of Captain Walsh at right forward, who is still suffering from an injury received In practice last weok. Tho work of Aug. Schmidt, who iillel this position was vory good, but he failed to come through with a bunch of spectacular plays which may usually bo looked for from tho lanky captain. It was ex pected that Hutchison would be played at torwaid In the absence of Walsh, but ho did not go Into tho game at all. It Is reported that he Is tempor arily delinquent In school work.

Tho method used In electing the captain Is tq al low all of this season's "N" men to vote. Thoro wore fourteen letters awarded to the following men: Cap tain Harvey, Johnson, Chalouqka, Frum, Harto, Ewlng, Collins, Cooke, Bentley, BIrkner, Kroger, Temple, Minor, and Boltzor. These men will be eligible to vote for' next year'B captain at this noon's meeting. According to tho instruc tions which thoy rocoived, thoy will havo to roach a decision bofora thoy leavo tho building and not lot tho thing hang fire n it did last year for several weeks. Eight votes will ho nocossary for election. Tho two men who havo so far an nounced thomsolves as candidates for the captaincy are Sidney Collins nnd Sidney Frum. Thoy havo both played on tho 'varsity for two years and are players of unquestioned ability, and either of them vottld without a doubt make a good captain. According to the present dope, the vote will be seven to seven on the first ballot. It is possible that, if both sides are obstlnnte In clinging to their candidate, It will be neces sary to compromise on some other available man. Others who have been talked of for the place are llarto. Ewlng, au.l Bellzcr. Still anothor possibility is that the team, in the case of a deadlock, will refer the mat ter of fleeting a captain to the athletic board. KEEP PRICE OF DANCE AT $)l.25 Junior Chairman Finds It Inadvisable to Make'LowerCharge. The Junior hop committee held n' ... I i meeting in li. 10G at 11 o clock yes terday morning, at which time thr chairman, Air. Aloiison, reported thn' all the aiiangeiiieiils had been pom plete.l in :i satisfactory manner. A great deal ol discussion then ensued HA iu wiieim-r mm- i-uhi hi iichihh should lie lowered to meet the price1 which is being charged for othei dances ai ine i.incoin. ah oi uie hops given at the Lincoln so far havoj cost $1.25. Some of the members thought that tho Juniors should lower their prices to a dollar. In reply to this, Air. Alonson said that he had looked Into the matter carefully and had decided that the dollar and a quarter was to be preferred. lie called the committee's attention to tho fact that no dance at the Lincoln had been a success at $1.25, and that to pay expenses it would be necessary to have about 100 couples on the lloor. At the same price at Fraternity hall he explained that he could furnish tho best of everything and pay expenses wit ii seventy couples. At $1.00. thougn. II would be necessary to ....u,l ilw. li.tll itMi ulttwiut iilnnfi' collides. He 'said he felt sure that . those atlendlnir would rather nay the extra quarter and have room enough to dance satisfactorily. The price war. left at $1.25. It will occur on January b at S :'M) o'clock. PALLADIAN BANQUET TO NIG HT Annual Banquet of Literary Society To Be Given at LlndelP Hotel.

As a matter of fact no basket-ball game is BOt for February 5, so that evening will bo open to the prom and there will be no inter ference from any other university function. Tho original schedule of the basket-ball team called for a game with the Jayhawkers on that ovenlng, but owing to conflicts that dato was changed und that evening whs left onon.

Raymond deserves the highest credit for tho way in which tho event, was conducted yesterday morning, With as complicated a program as this it is worthy of more than passing no tice that everything passed off In per fect order and in such a way that tne magnificence of tho music could be appreciated to tho highest degree by thoso who were present.

Tho studontB will have about olghteon dnys of va cation, school closing this ovon lng at G o'clock and opening Alondny, January 4, ut eight o'clock. Com pletlng their work before hand, largo numbers of tho students took advan tage of the opportunity bofore tho majority of students leave for tholr homes. As a rollof from tho hard work of the past fow weeks, tho students as a rule weicomod tho holidays. With only a Bhort Intermission at Thanks giving, tho work has boon continuous since the boglnnlng last Soptombor, and as a number have expressed it, thoy are "all In, down and out." Plan ning to enjoy tholr vacation to the utmost, the students look forward tD the two weeks of rest. Crowds at the Depot. Anticipating that there would -b3 large crowds at the depot, tho agents or several of tho roads announcod n mile of tlcketH for the holidays yes terday, so that students might pur chase their tickets before going to tho depot "Und thus preventing conges tion. Farly last evening almost ovory train leaving the city contained groups of happy students anxious to arrive at their nomes with tho least possible delay. Of all tho happy events of his university course which the freshman looks forward to, is tho two weeks which he Is permitted to spend at home paring Christmas and New Years. Second onty to this is his desire to get back after having (pen! several days iu a country town, with nothing to do but to tako llfo in syt It Is with almost as great a feeling ol relief that tho studont welcomes his return to the unlvorslty. In spite ol the good times, and tho homo care, he generally conies to Jook forward t(. the old room and the boarding huusp geiib as a part of his lifo. Sat isfied with two weeks of mother's cooking, he returns again to put up for another semester with the boarl-Ihg-house bill of fare. Students -Do Shopping. With their arms full of parcels, and their suit cases packed tho students thow that thoy have taken advantage of tho bargains offered by Lincoln merchants, who announce their stocks through the columns of the Nebras kan. A Lincoln merchant made tho statoment yesterday "that his student trade this year was tho heaviest for several years," Everyone seemed to want to buy, and in most cases the purchases wore substantial ones. With a lnrger and more completd as sortment to pick from, tho students desire to lay in their Christmas pres ents bofore they reach home at prices tho same or lower than ithey could be purchased In tho smaller towns. By this evening the canipus will bo largely descried and by Saturday nght the only signs of .student lifo will bo tho fow who remain behind to mnko 'up back work pr ,those who liavd their home In Lincoln. The effect of tho students leaving Lincoln for, thq holidays is noticeable oven away from the campus, and. the boarding nnd rooming houses will' welcome their return to the city. 7- Conditioned Examination.
