NEW SYSTEM OF GLASS ELECTIONS CONSIDERED PROMINENT UNDERGRADUATE 8TUDENT8 FAVOR CHANGE. vT". K GINGER STILL LACKING IN THE WORK Freshmen Manage to Make Touch. down on Varsity After Only Ten Mliutes of Spec tacular Play. Coach Colo took the football squad out to tho State Form grounds yester day and put thorn through tho stiffost practice of the week. It was expect ed that the squad would take to the soft turf of thd farm grounds a little better than they have boon doing on the hard pebbly surface of the now field. . The varsity is still slow and indif ferent That same spirit of ginger and enthusiasm that characterized their play of a week ago is still lack ing. At UmeB yesterday they showed hursts of their former speed, but ttien again they would weaken and Anally they let the freshmen walk over them for a touchdown. Yesterday's scrimmage was tho longest by far of the week and nehrlyj I Ji all the men wore given a chance0 participate. Tho varsity firBt team woro given the hall at firBt against the second or scrub eleven. The scrubB proved "weak and could not hold their moro aggressive opponents, the first team getting two touchdowns in about fifteen minutes. The freshmen were, then called In and" proceeded to do things to the Varsity, with the result above noted, viz.: making a touchdown aftor about ten minutes of play. Hornburger for tho freshmen played a powerful game at center, tearing up the varsity de fense and making great holes in tho line. Potter, the fast quarter of the freshmen, also starred, as did also .Gibson at full and Warner at end. Many Injuries. - Tho battle was a fierce one, result ing in moro injuries than have yet boon recorded in one day thiB year, and this despite the fact that they were playing on a much Bofter field. Farley, wfeo has ben playing a yery aggressive game .the past few days and who wa,B given the varsity sig nals last Friday, was so battered and bruised up' that he had to be carried from the field. It was-reported that his arm was broken, but this was not confirmed by the later reports. Captain Buck Beltzer also received quite a bump In the jaw in making a flying tackle. He was knocked uncon scious by the force of the blow and it was thought, at firBt that he was seri ously injured. But he came around all right and was soon back into the game again. Cole is still making shifts in tho team in order to strengthen the back field. Harto was put in at full back in yesterday's practice, his place at tackle being taken by Elliott. Othor men who are being worked out 1n the back-field this week are Elliott, Spell meyer and Dobson. These men are all heavy "and aro rather fast. TJajBy ought to make a great line-plunging trio If they get into the game. .. . Bentley was out for tho first time this week. Ho ran signals for a few mTnutes, but Cole would not let ,hlm go into the scrimmage and sent him in after a few minutes' work. "Toit" is being groomed for the Kansas game, and it id -probable 'he may not be used i&i all Sat,urd,y,Hl8Kside,ia still .bad and no chances are to be taken that will' put him out of 'condition' for the ..

Many UmeB have vast crowds filled tho grand Btnnd and cheered tho Cornhuskors aa they do fended tho Scarlet and Cream. Many times have the athletes of tho Ne braska school carried victory to tho hearts of tho CornhuBkor rooters. But a farewell must bo said to the mem ories of these scenes. When tho Brace laboratory was built, many of the students thought that tho Bcono of athletics contests waB destroyed, but their hopes wore rewarded by the bull dine hoimr ninmri Just outside of tho boundary and tho wnoie gridiron romained Intact.

But though tho memories of tho gridiron days were carried far away, there still remained the one lone mo. menta of. the days when Bummy Booth taught the aspiring Bender nnd Benedict how to carry tho oval through the enemy's lino and skirt their ends for long gains toward their goal.

This one lone re minder of the days when everyone yelled themselves hoarse in attempt ing to make the elusive pigskin carry itself toward tho goal of Kansas or Minnesota remained untouched dur ing the days Of battles at Antnlnnn. Then camo tho welcome news that the university was to havo a new ath letic field. Tho now field is nearly complete, and yesterday when the old grand stand disappeared the students bade farewell to tho old Nebraska field and prepared to welcome tho arrival of the new field, whjch will bo dedi cated in an appropriate style next Sat urday, when Nebraska meets tho de fenders of tho Old (Gold from tho Hawkoye state.

If a suggestion made by certain fac ulty mombers and promibont students is carrlod out, tho senior socioty of In nocents may take a hand in tho pro posed reform in tho mothod of hold ing class oloctlons. A move to that end has been started and It is llkoly that tho Innocents will take doflnito action In the matter shortly. Following tho regrettable ballot stufflng at the sophomore class meet ing last Tuesday, mombers of tho stu dent body and faculty mon particular ly interested in student aotlvlflos have boon endeavoring to discover some moans by which tho election evil might bo prpvontod.. 8omo of tho men most interested have -taken tho mat tor up with the Innocents and individ ual mombors of that organization havo expressed an opinion that tho mattor properly might come under tho direction of tho socioty. So far, however, tho Innocents havo done nothing in tho matter and It Is by no means sure that they will in terfere. Somo of thorn think that tho mattor had best bo loft to the action of tho Individual classes.. . The Australian 8yatem. Several plans of reform have been suggested since the Tuesday noon fiasco, but none has yet mot with tho approval which has been accorded tho propoBed introduction of the Austra lian ballot system now in operation in several universities. This schdmoi first advanced by tho Daily Nobras kan, has received considerable sup port and there Ib a growing sentiment that it would at least be well to give it a trial at the noxt general class, election. It ds not proposed to put tho full Australian system into effect in class elections. The only features would be a registration system and a closed ballot. A list of all members of the class entitled to vote would bo made, and as each studont voted his name would bo checked off. He could cast his vote in a sealed ballot box, The polls might be open all day or only at certain hours. In this way there would bo no chance whatever of illegal vot ing. Further than that, only .a few minutes would be reaulred tav aneh student in voting. The diflUculty fif prolonged class mootlngs would he avoided. ' ' Faverable Opinions. In speaking with Daily Nebraskan representatives several prominent; siu; dents have'eome out in favor-"of too plan. A. M. Oberfelder, president of tho Junior class, said: "I 'Jwouicer talnly favor any plan to reduce tne rottenness" of class plecflons. "'Of course thd Australian AsystemVwould mean tho loss of a good part of the present class meetings, 'out'. t would havo tho advantagevbf alJsdiutelV pre venting graft." 'J ' ''' A. M. Hare, another prominent Junior, said: "Of course such a system would practically destroy the tradi tion of tho old-time class 'meeting. That is, however, the only 'objection that I can Beo to the plan, and I, Tor one am In favor of it." ' President Thnmfla nf tho cftnhrJ mores expressed himself forcibly wpejr questioned. "Hurel, am for it," ho said.' "This business or ballot, stuff-' ing is tfettlnir to be entlrolv tnn niWfl. lent It is a rotten condition of nf- rairs. , Anything; that will cut it down will meet with my.support. I bnjlove, , the Australian ballot would .'flit thU bill."1 ' ' 1 ' "V" n ":??"! . T" S ""! I ii in mm jfci' .... -mfim rTrrxm fssvwvwm
