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.

A professor of the university has
lodged charges of professionalism
"against Sid Colllus. 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. When he waits

SID COLLINS ARRAIGNED
NEBRASKA PROFESSOR CHARGES
HIM WITH RECEIV
ING MONEY.
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
