Remember that today is Fete day
and that there are many high school
people In Lincoln. Show them a good
time and lot them know that the uni
versity Is not lacking in hospitality.
The retention of the meet in Lincoln
depends on the support given it by
the university.
Tomorrow is Ivy day. For this rea
son the Nebraskan will not bo ready

ings could survive. If the blind were
removed, however, factB would show
that the writer is absolutely execu
tion proof when it comes to the dis
pensing of moral principles.
Not once did ho commit himself,
but rather being content to let him
self loose in saying anything which
would further Ills ideas on the art of
personal projection, backed up by a
superficial screen covering a back
ground of perfidy and crime.
During tho reign of Clyde Billot in
the University of Nebraska I speak
reign in connection with his control
of the state university end of the
Omaha Dee--perhaps no one did more
to harm Nebraska athletics than did
he, and yet he appears to be shocked.
His warped conception of journalis
tic etiquette barely saved him from
harm by the other members of the
newspaper profession. Many a time
when ho had faithfully promised the
other press representatives that he
would not release a certain story un
til the time agreed upon, he failed' to
keep his promise, but instead, seized
upon the slightest grain of athletic
scandal, which he magnified to such
an extent that the truth of the story
was hardly recognizable when it ap
peared In "scare-head'' type in the
Omaha Bee. Instead of depicting ath
letic conditions at Nebraska as they
really were, he seized tho sensational
to the sacrifice of the truthful and
beneficial.
In 1908 when the university athletic
board was seriously considering wheth
er or not it would make a request of
John D. Rockefeller for $50,000 for
the new athletic field, tho newspaper
men were asked to keep the matter
dark until the time was ripe for publi
cation. This they all agreed to do,
Elliot Included. Soon, however, much
to tho Burprlso of all, a "scare-head"
Btory appeared in the Omaha Bee re
citing the whole plan. The result "was
that the idea of asking Rockefeller for
a donation was entirely abandoned.
Whother or not the reference ti
the allegations against Sid Collins or
Dr. Clapp are true or not, the writer

THE FORUM.
To tho Editor of the Dally Nebraskan:
Criticism, if properly founded and
properly directed and coming from a
source reliable and authoritative can
often accomplish good results; and
convorsly, criticism improperly found
ed and Improperly directed and com
ing from a source not reliable and not
authoritative can often accomplish
bad results. The latter situation has
just come to pass as a result of a cer
tain letter published in the Lincoln
NetWB Tuestlay, May 16. Tho letter
relates to the recent charges made by
a Nebraska professor against Sidney
Collins, the well known Cornhusker
athlete. Whether or not the charges
be true or -untrue the perpetration of
such a letter upon tho public 1b dis
graceful to say the least.
If the character and reputation of
the author of the letter wero known to
the public as they are to the writer
and many others who have been in
the university for the paBt three or
four years tho letter -would appeal to
them asono of the baldest and most
fallacious 'pieces of literary sophistry,
ever written. The -tone of the letter
'throughout leads one to believe' that
the writer has Buffeted a moral shock,
the effects of which but few human be-
doeB not care to comment, it is mere
ly the weight of the story in the News
as measured by Its author. The
writer believes that if there Ib the
slightest suspicion that Sid Collins re
ceived $250 for his football services .
during the season of 1908, the matter
should .be investigated. The Collins
case should not, however, take prece
'denco over many other cases of simi
lar kind of more recent date than
190S. Above all tho matter should be
hushed up as far as publication is
concerned, for thero is no doubt but
that a great doal of harm will come
to Nebraska athletics if the matter is
continually kept in tho press. For this
reason one Lincoln paper and several
out-of-town papers have agreed not to
publish anything about the situation
until there is something to publish.
