a
. The action of co'rtaln senior acad
dnilcs 'In participating In tho sophb
more class election yesterday and Hid
fraudulent stufflng of the ballots will
lu all probability result in a formal
protest by straight sophomore acad
emics. It waB announced5 lafo yjbster
day "thit; a potltlon would be circu
lated today calling upon this former
Drepldont of thoT class, James E. Law
rence, to hold another election at
which all chances for fraud should be
removed. - ' , ) ,
' The ..sophomoro campaign, . which
bad been distinguished for Us qulot.
wound up.yestorday morning with one
grand bowl of protest and Indignation
from the sophomore acadomlcs. With
his candidacy first conceived as a
joko and with his name unmontloned
until two hours prior to the election,
N'y'o 'Morehouse of tho freshmen law
class, secured the sophomore
prcsU
dency.
Launched as Joke.
Until
Vetitorday morning H. W.
Cbulter and Lesllo Hyde had been
i ;
the only two candidates for the sec
ond-year place. During an internals,
sion, between' two morning classed
some law. students in a jofcW' mood
posted a notice in tho law college
calling upon all loyal laws to vote
for one of their number for the soph
omore presidency. TJie Joko eventu
ally led to, a caucus of first-year law
men, at which Nyo Morehouse of Fre
mont was" efecfed as the" law candi
date. '
The fact that the laws had nomi
nated a man for the sophomoro oflloe
spread rapidly about tho campus and"
was responsible for a fair attendance
at the class mooting in Memorial hull
a' 11:30. Called to order by Presi
dent Lawrence the class disposed of
minor .matters quickly and nomina
tions for tho presidency for tho sec
ond semester were called for. Leslie
Hyde of Lincoln was nominated by"
V; C.- Hascall and H. wl Cain, a
former vlpo-president of tho" class,
prosonted the name of IL W. Coulter.
Lynn Lloyd concluded the loraina
tlonB by presenting Nyp Morehouse
as a loyal worker in the class, who
hAd 'never b6en rewarded by any of
fice or other distinction. It was later
pointed out by members of the clr.ssJ
thnt this statement' was incorrect.
Morehouse haying soiled as master
of l ceremonies of, tho ' freshman hop
last yean .,At'" that time he received
considerable notoriety on account of
being the bbjocCof a kidnapping move
on the part of the then sophomore
. cjusB.,- ' ;- ; '; .,- ...
r 8enlors Admitted.
Just' prior to the nominations u re-
'quest was , made (hat all, 'atudents
other than sophomores retire to' the,
gallery. This precipitated" a 'mdtip'v
thai all members of the freshmen law
clas be' allowed ti participate in the
.election, they, ranking as, sophomor.e
academics. It was stated by tho chair
tjiat tberpVos no Valid objection to
thq! admittance of freshmen laws who
were not also receiving degrees this
year as seniors in the atadomlc col
lege; .The chair,, howover, bellevi-d
that senior academics who vote in
yoL yra.
ONIVERSItY OF NEBRjAKk,IAHp6h, .WEJJNKDAY, MARCH4?.:qj)fe?
senior academic elections would" not
bo allowed to alao voto In' sophomoro
academic matters on account of their
standing as freBhmon laws. Ho' did
not bellovo that a triplo class mem
bership was permissible. h
Unwilling to tako tho rosponslbjlity
tor such a docislon tho chair put' the
question to the class. The motion to
admit senior acadomlcs registered as
first-year laws was carried by a small
majority, the, seniors themselves vot
ing as a part of this majority. Han
those students not voted tho motion
would have been los. By thus voting
on this question of tholr own eligi
bility to vote, thoy undoubtedly car-
i rlcd the subsequent election for More
house.
Fraud Claimed.
Immediately aftor tho laws were
admitted the first ballot wasjtaken, re
sulting in G4 votes for Morohouso, 58
for Coulter, and 48 for Hydo. Hydo
then withdrew and tho second ballot
was takon on Morohouso and Coulter.
Before tho second ballot wa'B col
lected a motion was put and passed
that no ballot be considered valid
wherein moro votes were recorded
than there were persons present elig
ible to vote, Sevoral academic fresh
men, juniors and straight seniors
wore at this time deprived of tfio
ballot power which thoy hnd fraud
ulently used in the first, olectlon. A
number left tho hall in the interim
and yet there wcro 151 votes cast on
tho second ballot.
With the announcement of the voto.
as 81 for MorohotiBo and 70 for Coul
ter the meeting was broken up amid
a storm of cheers from the law stu
dents, without an announcement be
ing made of the election of any candi
date. Immediately after tho yoto was
announced a verbal protost was Hied
against permitting tho election to
stand. The objection was based oir
the action of the laws In themselves
vptlng on tho question of their right
to vote; and on the further charge
that only 1 100, persons were present
Who" word 'entitled to voto, whereas
151 votes wero cast. Even including
the laws Whoso seats' were contested,
tho protestnnts doclarcd that thorp
wore at least 30 votes too many in the,
final total.
Some Laws Condemn.
The action of tho senlor-acad'omlc-laws
wns severely condemned on tho
campus as tho story spread.. S,. Q.
Carney, president of tho freshmen law
class, was vigorous in hla denuncia
tion of tho members of his class who
were party to tho exhibition. Ho
believed that straight freshmen laws
had tho right to voto, but ho thought
that senior acadomlcs could not b&
come sophomoro academics through
their1 connection with tho law college.

Cornhusker In Practice Fall to De
Velope Individual play and
Kansas to Win.
Travollng ovor tho Missouri Pncltlo
railroad tho cornhusker basket-ball
tossers will wend their way to Kansns
City, Kas., tonight to moot tho Kan
sas university flvo in a series of
threo gumes for tho championship of
tho Missouri valley conference basket-ball
league. Thoy will start from
Lincoln nt 10 o'clock. Tho first gamo
of tho trio will be pullod off tomorrow
ovonlng in Rainbow rink, tho othor
two contests , following on tho suc
ceeding nights.
The cornhuskers advent Into tho
land of the Jnyhawkers will not bo
with nny prop,lUous circumstances
attendant. In fact It will be with very
low hopes that tho Nobraskans will
go to Kansas City. Thoy are "doped"
to loso tho series anl only a re
markable spurt of luck can put thorn
In the running.
Practice Not Encouraging.
The preparation of tho Nebraska
players for tho scries has been rather
disappointing In some respects. Tho
men have failed to dovelope as they
should have done. Dr. Clapp has
worked with thorn dkurlng tho 'past
two weeks and thoy havo boon kept
at parctlco In tho gymnasium, but
thoy do not seem to bo playing any
better ball than thoy did on tho occas
ion of the visit of the gophers hero
recently.
Tho goal tossing of tho team Is
still a weak department of their 'work,
nnd unless tho forwards get to cag
ing tho ball with greater accuracy
tho Nebraska totals In tho games with
tho Jayhawkers will not bo very
large. Nebraska has been weak 'In
goal tosalng all season and It had
been hoped thnt the men would get
to doing better with tholr throwing by
the time of thofchamplonshlp series.
In team work, though, tho corn
huskers havo Improved and are now
working together In tho best form of
the winter. If they continue tbolr
team work as exhibited during tho
last few days thoy ought to bp able
to mnto tlip Kansas players work
hard for tho points registered against
Nebraska.
Jjliyhawkers Are Confident.
In tho camp of the Jayhawkers at
Lawrence oil 'cbnfldenco reigns, Tho
flvo down there has no fear of tho
cornhuskers and figure on taking tho
first" two games of the series so that
the third contest will not bo neces
sary. They have been at work con
stantly during tho last week, and do
claro thoy. will bo In better shape to
meet the cornhuskers this, week than
thoy wore. In during any of 'tho prov
Jous games played with tho loqul five
thltf winter. ,
Nebraska students havo not, given
up all,hopo of beating the Jayhawk
ers. There. Btlll lingers a feeling that
the cornhusker quintet may prove a
surprisingly classy form and turn a
neat trick on the Kansas men. They
will not elvo up nil hope until the
last gamo Is played.
According to a dispatch printed in
tho Omaha Boo yesterday Amos and
Nobraskn seem in a .fair way to patch
ui) their little difference' over tho

say, upon the assumption that all
Inter-class ovents of this description
go far towards promoting good class
rivalry and spirit which in tho ead

That the university spirit at Nebraska
Is not up to thta at many other
schools, is shown by tho comparative
attendance at football games and like
events held here and at Kansas, the
attpndauco at the latter Institution
being far larger than at Nebraska.'
''What we need," says one of, the
members, when Interviewed, "Is class
spirit and this in the way to get It"
He believed that lnter-class events
promoted tho spirit which Jn UiQand
will supersede the loyalty to small
organizations and bring about a
