On tho eighth attempt Minnesota won a track meet, the Ilrst time she has over been successful against tho Cornhuskers. But for all that the track team is nothing to bo ashamed of. Captain R,eed and Louie Ander: son lowered two Nebraska records. Tho final outcome depended on the relay and the Gophors had too many strong sprinters. Reports from Min nesota say that Reed was sick on tho field. What would havo happened to those records If he had been In condition? "It was one great, grand, glorious success," was tho way the dancers de scribed the military ball. About a hundred and seventy-five couples at tended the first grand ball given Sat urday night by the ofllcers and non commissioned officers of the cadet reg iment. The big Auditorium was lav ishly decorated with tho national col ors and great clusters of electric lights. Great streamers of red, white and blue bunting were drapsd from tho largo central domo to the ballua trade of tho galleries. The stacked villcs and unfurled colors of the first battalion formed an appropriate set ting for tho palm garden which almost hid the regimental band. In the Pom pellan room refreshments were served by colpred chefs. Tho handsome foun tain of tho lion's head was a popular drinking resort. Tho promenade dec oration was effective, with dainty white fences capped with scarlet flushes separating It from the main ball room. ' Tho music by the cadet regiment band was appreciated, and Walt's or chestra was at its best. Tho appear ance of "Tho Catling Gun" created some excitement. In this sheet of breezy military news, the twelve co-ed sponsors wore announced. The fol lowing are the honored ladies: Regl; mont, Mrs. C. J. Kremer first battal- think hat a mistake has been made somowhero. It is a known fact that members of the athletic board havo carefully watched to see that no uni versity men either playedT summer baseball for pay or received financial backing from business men of tho city. Collins has been, one of tho un tiring fighters for good,, clean athletics in tho university and one of tho fore most promoters of tho "new Nebraska spirit." It is not probable that any investi gation will be necessary. Although several men have been reported as stating that they knew something aboul it, none have so far been will ing to sign .statements of what they know and unless definite information is produced and the men -who give it are willing to have their statements go to the press over their signatures, it is probable that the story will be given little credence either at Nebraska or at other universities.

It Is claimed, ac cording to reports, that he received $2i0 for playing football in the season of 1908. Whether there is anything comes of It or not Is only n matter of course. Tho startling news has gone into the press and has been read ovor the college world. Athletics at tho University of Nebraska have been put under a suspicious light. .It may not be for us to question the motive which brought ahout tho revelation at just this time and under these conditions. Wo may question why it has remained In tho dark so long, and why tho "wise one" allowed tho corruption to exist while, the stu dent body remained in Ignorance. It will not do to let tho matter go. The name and honor of Nebraska have been placed in jeopardy by men of mercenary motives. That it Is spite work goes almost without saying. This person who is so willing to give .in: formation on tho quiet, loses his en ergy and forwardness when he Is asked to put his charges in writing. Any person connected with this In stitution, who knows of such things and becomes a party to the wrong by Mb silence, does not deserve to be called a Nehraakan.

Sidney Collins has been accused by a member of the university faculty of having received money for playing with tho Cornhusker football team. The accuser says that Sid was paid for. playing during tho season of 1908-09, and claims that he can prove it. The first knowledge of the affair came to the surprised, members of the student body Saturday morning, when the State Journal published an account of how this person had told Chancel lor Avery that he knew for a certainty that "Sid" had been paid for playing. Students are not putting much stock in the story. They can not hejp but m every correct style. ror every correct dresser.
