Plans Disoussed by Delegates Yesterday. No definite conclusion was ar rived at at the meeting of the women delegates to the honor system convention held in Me morial Hall after convocation yes terday morning. Different plans were discussed, but no definite plan ' was decided upon. This, was mainly duo to the lateness of the hour. Another mooting is to be, called later. The mass meet ing which was to" have been held Wednesday was postponed. Vandalism Again. A freshman picnic poster ' was stolen from M. E, hall by some vandal yesterday. It is not ex pected, however, to check in- any way the wave of enthusiasm which, is spreading through the class for this unique affair. The only fear expressed by those in charge is that the requi site number may not bo on hand to tako the special -car at 4 o'clock. Large numbers are planning to go out later. Fully 200 are expected to be at tho park by 6 o'clock. One hundred must bo on hand to tako the special car in order to pay out. All who can are urged to take that car.

TRACK MEET WILL BEGIN AT 3 O'CLOCK MINNESOTA TEAM IN THE BEST OF CONDITION. BALL GAME RTS ATINE O'CLOCK Dashes Will Furnish the Main Excitement of the Day Ames Plays Again Saturday. The Minnesota track team ar rived yesterday, morning and Coach Grant reports' that the men are ajl in the best condition. The Gophers are confidont of vic tory, in fact they do not think that the Cornhuskers have "a gliost of a show." In the Cornhuskor ranks there is no despondency. Despite the fact that the Minnesota have, in their own?opinion, won all of the points in advancq, the Nebraska team 1ms lost none of its spirit and is determined to fight for every point in the meet. The dashes in the afternoon moot are sure to be interesting. Hill, the Minnesota sprinter, ran the 100 dash in 9 4-5 seconds last Saturday against Wisconsin. Guy Reed, the Nebraska sprinter, is ; h - Debating League f B. R Lewis. Wymoro. W. Boper, Brokun Bow. K. M. ClirlHtuiiHon, Valontlno. determined to run tho best race he has ever ran, and ho is ex pected to equal tho time made by Hill last Saturday. .These two men will also bo entered in the 220-yard and tho 440-yard dashes. The time in all of these races should be 'exceptionally fast. Two With Ames. The first game with Ames will begin at 1 o'clock sharp this afternoon. Tho earliness of the hour is on account of the track meet. Hay Elliott, an old JNo braska player, will act as um pire, and Mathers will pitch for the Cornhuskers. Ames has one of the fastest col lego teams in tho west this year, and has defeated "Nebraska in one game and tied her in -another. This game will therefore furnish a criterion' ad to tho respective abilities of tho two teams. Saturday's game will bo called at 3:30. The Nebraska pitcher for this "game has not been chosen, buj; in all probability it will bo Olmstead. Tho Nebraska team has rapidly improved in their batting and in tho opinion of Captain Greenslit tho team is in the best. condition tliat it has been this year.

U-U-UNI VEK-VER-SITY N-E-BHAS-KI 0 U HOOTER ! Such was tho trend of thought evident at tho big Univorsity of Nebraska rally hold in Momorial I lull yesterday morning instead of tho regular convocation exor cises. Tho rally was tho first of im annual series now being con tomphU'd by tho convocation committee, and will always bo devoted fxciusivoly to the pro motion of true Nebraska spirit among tho student body. This particular rally was called with a view of arousing tho propor student spirit with which to ontor the track meet with Minnesota, the baseball game with Ames, and the annual battalion com petitive drill, all of which tako place this week. Band Led. Led by tho university band, the rally started" out with a jbopm. Every one ,somed to partalcofin the noise as though they voro confident of success on tho mor row, and at least willing to cheerfully contribute their share of Nebraska loyalty to tho. dis posal of tho teams. The program, outside of the band selections, consisted of short extemporaneous talks from . representatives of various de partments of university activi ties. Tho first person to bo sum- ' moncd was' Dean Bessoy, prob ably one of tho oldest and most ardent of all Nebraska's support ers. Enthusiasm, as a word, summarizes the contents of Dean Bessoy 's talk. lie declared that enthusiasm is tho one essential of every person's life, that by it more good is 'done, more work is done, and more things made worth while, and that ho or she who lacks this element of char acter building is liiindicapped in tho race of life. Defines Spirit. ' In answer to a request for a t roal definition of- truo Nebraska ' spirit, Doan Bessey said: "The Nebraska loyalty that I liko is tho old-fasjiioned kind, the kind apparent m-flo-miurv" of the smaller colleges. It is standing up for tho TJ. of N., supporting hor loyally, loudly, and boldly, first, last, and at all times. The man who is continually ' finding fault with his present surround ings, who is always dilating 'on the great privilege a university is enjoying in securing his pres ence, who insinuatingly compares, our great univorsity with some1 insignificant college, and roasts Continued on Page 3 TODAY s-t ' O o -. f '&&
