SENIORS TO SELECT PRESIDENT
FOR SECOND '8EME8TER.
HILLS AND BAKER CANDIDATES
BOTH CANDIDATES ARE CONFI
DENT OF ELECTION.
'Junior Clafes to Hold Its Election
Thursday When Race Between
Miss Huse and Paul i Yates"
WIlV Come to a Close.
At 11:30 this morning In Memorial
hall the senior clasB will hold the
Inst olectlon of offlcers to bo made
during its college career. E. W. Hlljs
and I. P. Bnkor are the contesting
candidates and the Indications are
that the vote will be close.
On the eve of tho election which
is to make one of them president of
the fourth year class and tho other
a loser- in the race which hos been
In progress for the past five weeks,
both candidates for the presidency of
the seniors are. confident of the re
sult. E. W. Hills, who was first to
officially announce his desire for tho
office, yesterday Buld that he folt
sure of election, although he admit
ted that the result would probably
be very close. He depends on tho
academic college -and the laws to
stand solidly by him nnd he expectB
to draw some votes from the engin
eers. Irving Baker, tho second candidate,
is equally confident. As a member
of the engineering' bcIIooI he does not
bolleve that he will be deserted by
tho students of that seotioji and ho
expects to see some of the acad
emics switch away from the Hills
bannor. Both candidates thus de
pend for their success on a shifting
of votes from one college In support
of the nominee of tho other, and
undoubtedly there will be consider
able of this done.
Interest Is High.
Interest in the election is at a high
pitch and the attendance at the meet
ing will undoubtedly, be large. The
vote will bo taken by ballot as soon
as the nominating speeches are made,
these coming Immediately after tho
disposal of some minor . business.
There being only two candidates, tho
lesult will bo known on tho con
clusion of the first ballot, and tho
-election will thus como to a finish
' sooner than Is usual. It has been
necessary .for several elections past
In this class to take more thhri .one
ballot t6 get a majority.
The campaign conducted by Hills
and Baker has been marked from
start to finish by an ahsenco of dis
agreeable personalities. Although tho
canvass for votes, has beeu energetic
on both sides, neither has attempted
, to throw, mud at the other, and ,the
resulting clean election cannot hut
be a. thing of gratification to "unlver
slty' .students, who have been nccus-
tomed to' political dealings of the
past

Miss Huse has had many friends, at

od's disadvantage of beirig1 forced tb

through 'friends,' and; ho has vTnade a

German Students to Portray Life at
Famous University.
"Alt Heidelberg," which Is to bo
given nt the Temple theatre Satur
day evening, has a two-fold purpose.
On the one hand, It portrays tho free
nnd easy social life of the German
student. On the other hand, it gives
an insight into the narrow and re
stricted court life of the smaller
German principalities.
The story of tho play is as fol
lows: The lord chamberlain of Kurls
burg gives Instructions concerning
tho departure of the heir-apparent for
Heidelborg university. Der .Toittner,
Karl Helnrichs, tutor, is annointed to
accompany tho prince. At Heidelberg
preparations are made In advance for
the reception of tho prince. Lutz, tho
volet, expresses his disgust for the
quarters proviled for them and for
tho students whom he meets at Reu
dors' Gardens, n popular resort for
students. The Inexperienced prince
falls in love with Kathlo, a protty
wni tress who has boon made an hon
orary member of all the student fra
ternities. In this garden Karl Hein
rich is initiated into the "Savonla."
The prince and his companions spend
the entire night In merry-making,
which is interrupted by a summons
to tho bedside of the dying prince,
whoso heir Karl Is.
Taking leave of Kathle. he hastens
home, whero the duties of tho realm
soon claim his attentiou. Wearied
by the burdens of riflorship and courl
etiquette ho listlessly hoars tho ar
rangements made for his marriage
festivities. Ho decides to pay a final
visit to Heidelberg. On his nrrlval
the "Savonla" gives a "Kammers" In
his honor after which ho bids Kathle
a final farewell.
Tho cast is as follows:
Karl Helnrlch, crown prince of Sa
vony Karlsburg Mr. T. K. Krueger.
Lord Chamberlain Mr. Raymond.
Court Martial Mr. DavlB.
Dr. Juettnor Dr. Schrag.

HOODOO ON HAND YET
t
C0RNHU8KER BA8KET-BALL FIVE
UNABLE TO BEAT Q0PHER8.
SAME LUCK FOR FOUR YEARS
8treak Which Has Pursued Pupils of
Dr. Clapp Since 1905 Causes
Them to Lose Two More
Games.
The Minnesota hoodoo on Nobras
ka'B baBket-ball players is Btlll poten
tial. It Jumped on thorn in 1ho sea
son of 1905-0(5 and haB stayed with
them ovor since. In that season ono
game was lost to tho men of tho Mill
ing city when the cornhuskers vlBlt
ed thoro, the Bcoro being 14 to 8.
Again, in tho two following yonrB,
lflOG-07 and 1907-08, tho gophers
trimmed tho men of the cornhuskers
Institution by -the cIobc score in two
games each season. And then last
Friday and Saturday nights they were
successful once more in taking two
hard fought games from tho Nebraska
quintet.
Tho first game last weok, played
In the big gymnasium adjoining
Northrup field on tho Minnesota cam
pus, and was closoly contostcd from
the start to the IlniBh. Up until the
last ten minutes of tho final session
tho pupils of Dr. Clapp looked llko
sure winners. In the first half thoy
outplayed their worthy opponents In
team work and had the long ond of
a 10 to G score at tho cloao of tho
initial round.
Better in Team Work.
During thlB session the gophers
swept over tho cornhuskors with
their team work but were not nblo to
locate the basket and succeeded In
getting but four goals. It Is related
by a Minneapolis paper that the
gopher forwards toqk. as many as
thirty Bhots ut tho basket In the first
round and mjased nil but four of
these.
The second contest, on Saturday
night, wus more of a snap for the
mighty Millars, and thoy won by a
largo score of 39 to 21. According
to reports from Minneapolis tho Ne
braska five was clearly out-classed
In this last game, and tho gophers had
things their own way from the very
beginning.
Captain Walsh, who has played four,
years of lnter-collegiato basket-ball
and who was thought to be Ineligible
for the games against Mlnneota, was
a star for Nebraska on both nights.
He, It Is snld, did some sensational
work on Friday night, showing up in
great degree in hlB old-time form.
Some of his goals were made from
difficult angles and elicited great ap
plause from tho largo crowd of Mjn-
neBota spectators.
On the second evening Dr. Clapp
played somo of his substitutes during
the latter part of the second half,
allowing IngerBoll to replace Petra
Blelt, nnd Schmidt to relievo Wood.
TheBe Minnesota games made four
defeats that tho cornhuskers have
suffered wlthhj less than two weeks,
the other teams which conquered Ne
braska being Missouri and Kansas.
These four defeats, however, have In
no way put a damper on the enthus
iasm of tho Nebraska students for
their team. Tho students realize that
the riuintet has had a little hard luck
and that It has done the best It could,'
Look for' League Title.
, There 1b oho thing that serves to
counteract ihe. four defeats In tho
opinion of Nebraska students. That
1b the brilliant outlook, for the 'win
ning the championship of tho north
ern section of tho Missouri valloy
conference, league. , When the -coni-
hunkers left Minneapolis Sunday thdy
went into Iowa to meet Ames nnd
Drake In tho last games on the sched
ule of Nebraska for tho conference
icnguo. They then had won four
gnmes and lost none oh their coil
forenco schedulo, whllo both Ariics
nnd Drake tho only opponents of
Nobrnska In tho northern division
hns onch lost threo games. In ordor
to clinch thd titlo to the lending hon
ors in this section thoy had to win
only two games. Yostordny they mot
Amos at Amos. Today thoy play the
Aggies again.
Whllo tho northern title seems
assured for NobraHka In tho northorn
division It looks no less certain that
Kansus will win out in the southern
iIIvIbIou. Just nt present in tho south
ern section Kansas and Wash
ington are tltid in tho race, but they
have not .plnyed each othor, so It
Ib not yot certain what thoy can do.
Each, however, has defeated Missouri
in two games apiece, but It looks as
though Kansas is stronger than the
St. Louis players. Until Washing
ton and Kansas mcot, however, tho
result In tho southern section will
remain in doubt.

DI8CU88E8 WOMAN SUFFRAGE
Dr.
Fling Declares That It Must
Come in Time.
Dr. Fling, in his European history
II. class, prefaced his lecture yostor
day by a talk regarding tho wo
men's suffrago movement. Ho an
nounced that tliis subject would bo
discussed last ovenlng at the capltol
building by tho legislature. Hoartily
endorsing tho whole movement, he
denounced those women taking neith
er one sido or another. The time of
undesirable advocate of this subject
is passing away, according to Dr.
Fling. Tholr placo Is now filled by
reflne'd, intelligent womon of 'whom
the former accusutlon of masculinity
can no longer be put fo'rth. Ho said
that the womon all over the country
are the ones to bo blamed for the
slowness of tho women's suffrage
movement.
Because of woman's predominance
In educational Institutions their
place as man's equal is most fitting.
Profeasop Fling said that it behooved
Nebraska, with its boasted literacy,
to bo among tho first states to adopt
woman's suffrage, which Is certain to
come. In conclusion ho .urged all the
young women of the university to
support ( heartily this need of soci
ety; vnamtjly, woman's suffrage,

OF EA8TERN SCHOOLS.,
Deficient Students Will Be Tutored

danger Their Standing.
In onlor that Nebraska may not bo
troubled on account of having. somo
of her best athletes perpotunlly on
tho danger line ns regards tholr
scholarship roquiromonts, tho senior
society of Innoconts has appointed a
committee to consider moans of koop
lng the delinquent men up to tho
mark.
Tho Innocents will attempt to .tutor
deficient students who nro making
good in athlotics nnd to urgo tholr
attendance on clauses bq that thoy
may not fall down becauBOpf non
attendance. By a systematic - effort
they hope to bo able to root out tho
low scholarship evil which has ut vari
ous times In tho past embarrassed the
athletic management.
On several JccubIoiib In thb football
seasons and In the porlods when other
sportB as well nro flourishing, Ne
braska has run up against a. hard
proposition by suddenly discovering
that one of her Btars In the 'game
could not play bepauso of poor stand
ing In his classos. ThlB has on more
than ono occasion rcsultod in sorl
ously endnngoiing tho scarlet and
cream and It has been felt for somo
tlmo that a remedy ought to bo sought.
Innocents Will Try.
In their capacity as unofficial guar
dians of all things needing aid, tho
Innocents took tho matter up and de
termined to appoint a commlttoo n
take the thing In 'hand., TJils com
mltteot will not only boo to it that
Btudehts back in their work ?aro td-
tored, but it will also endeavor to
compel the attendance of. ath'leKJs at
classes. -Especially 'during, thd Ben-
sons of activity in athletics have tha
wearers of tljo "N" been wont to skip
classes. Beginning with the coming
baseball season, tho Innocents com
mlttoo will try to tilop "this 'evil.
The action of the society is In ac
cordance with the system employed
in many eastern colleges. In each of
these schools some organization has
taken tho matter in. charge in a man
ner similar to that of tho Innocents.
The result in all cases hag justified
the trouble- and the University ha
been benefitted both In athletics-and
in scholarship.
