SUGGESTIONS FROM STIEHM
INVITED BYCOACH STAGG
CHICAGO MENTOR SEEKS LIGHT
ON FOOTBALL RULES.
TO ATTEND THE BIO (INFERENCE
Plan Proposed to Cut Down Counters
In Present Game The Idea
Launched by the East.
Coach Stiehm has received a letter
irom Coach Stagg of Chicago Univer
sity, for any suggestions that the Ne
braska coach may have In regard to
new football rules. Stagg is one of
the foremost college coaches In the
country and Is the representative to
the .National Coljeglate Athletic, Asso
ciation from the middle west.
Tho N. C. A. A. elects several mem
bers to the football rules conference,
so In the course of time the voice of
the Cornhusker band will be heard in
the wigwam where the totem chiefs
gather.
Among the suggestions that Coach
Stiehm is making is one for the re
duction of the field goal from three to
two and one-half points. This will
not permit a team to kick two field
goals and equal an earned touchdown.
In case of a blo'cked kick which
does not cross the lino of scrimmage,
it is to bo retained by the team get
ting the ball and is put into play at
the point where It was stopped.
There should also bo an Increase
in the number of downs within the
twent-flvo yard limit.
"As far as I can see." said tho
coach, "there is nothing the matter
with t'e presont system of playing.
The complaints on tho forward pass
are entirely from the big eastern
teams who found it difficult to run up
high scores this past year. They fa
vor the old style of the game which
the qoaches were brought up with,
and the newer open play is different
from their style and they are finding
It difficult to change."

OMAHA GLJBJLEGTION
CHOOSING OF EXECUTIVE HEAD
NEXT TUESDAY PLAN8 TO
B008T NEBRA8KA.
Who will head tho new Omaha Club
of the University of Nebraska is the
interesting political question of tho
moment on the campus.
Entirely unique in its purpoBo, that
it is formed wholly and solely to boost
Nebraska in Omaha and tho vicinity,
the progress of the formation of the
organization Is being watched curious
ly by the student body.
The election of officers will bo held
at the meeting of the club, Tuesday at
11:30 o'olook. Sam Carrier, acting
president, is one of the .popular
choices for its head,' but it is rumored
that there will probably be several
nominations for the "Job."
Omaha High School will probably
be visited by a representative of tho
Omaha Club and a short talk made to
the class which will graduate In Feb
ruary on the advantages of coming to
Nebraska for their college education,
instead of attonding some school
which, although farther away from
home, Is undeniably no better.
During tho year several promlnont
speakers will bo obtained to speak
to the Omaha High School Juno grad
uating class and tell them of Ne
braska.

Tho Swedish fraternity, "Svthold." Is
Daily.
Several students in the University
of Illinois were dismissed from school
on account of Inciting a riot In a thea
ter at Urbana. Evidently Nebraska
is riot the only school which' is em
barrassed by over-enthusiastic theater
parties.
Last night a number of former stu
dents of. the Ord High School met at
tbe home of Aurella Scott, 3100 R
street, and formed a club for social
purposes. Incidentally they will
boost for the University in their home
town.
HEST FOBTHE WEARY
APPROACHING RECESS TO PROVE
SALVATION FOR OVER-
WORKED(7) STUDENT8.
If you will look in your little book,
black "N" book, in 'tho space reserved
for Wednesday, December 20, you
will see an announcement Christmas
vacation begins. This is probably tho
beBt of Archie's little reminders that
are scattered throughout the book.
For at (J p. m. classes are over for
twelve days. School will start again
on Tuesday, tho 2d day of January,
1911 no, 1912 at 8 'a. m.
Several parties will bo given by tho
fraternities and clubs as a send-off be
fore the members scatter for tho holi
days. Most of the- students will probably
go homo some of thom for tho first
time since school started In Septem
ber. However, there will be a few
loft here after the others have gone
Some who will be unable to get homo
because of its distance away will be
entertained at the homes of frionds
and frnt brothers and sistors.
GIRLS ENTERJHE LISTS
ENTER UPON THE DOMAINS OF
MEN fY TAKING UP PRO
FE88IONAL WORK.
Whether or not the University girls
as a whole profesB to believe in
woman's rights, a few co-ods, at least,
manifestly assert their belief in it;
witness the fact that at present there
are eight co-ed b taking professional
work.
Five of these, anxious to alleviate
suffering humanity, have entered the
profession of medicine' whllo .two
others are .learning to concoct pre
scriptions. One lono spirit has dared
to enter the sacred precincts of the
law, perhaps hoping that her sooth
ing presence will help quell the ex
uberant spirits there found.
MUSIC AT CONVOCATION
HANDEL'S FAMOUS WORK TO BE
SUNG BY UNIVER8ITY
CHORUS.
The University Chorus will sing the
"Mtesslah" at the Christmas convoca
tion Tuesday morning in Memorial
Hall, This is one of tho oldest tradi
tions of tho school and is always a
welcome number on the program,
Tho Chorus, accompanied by the
organ, an orchestra, and a trio from
the city, will give one of the .best
Convocations of the year. The "Mes
siah," by Handel, Is one of the grand
est and best known 'of oratorios, and
Is especially appropriate for a Christ
mas program.

LABORATORIES OPEN
DURING VACATION
PROFE8SOR8 CON8ENT TO THE
U8E OF THEM BY 8TUDENT8.
ADVANCED STUDENTS HAVE PRtf ERENCE
Opportunity to Make Up Work Will
Be Grasped by Many of the
Students.
Most of tho laboratories on tho
campus will bo open during part of
the Christmas vacation for tho boneflt
of those who wish to mako up their
work. The attitude of many of tho
instructors is against tho gonoral uso
of this privilege, for during tho vaca
tion school work is supposed to be
temporarily suspended. Howevor, for
those who, on account of sickness, or
for some other good reason, are be
hind in their work, tho laboratories
will be available.
Thursday, Friday and Saturday
mornings of tho last week of vacation
the Chemistry labs will bo open. Tho
Physical laboratories and the M. 12.
shops will not be open. Botan, Geol
ogy and Geography laboratories will
be open nearly all tho time, whllo tho
Zoology laboratory may be secured
by arrangement with the instructor.
In nearly all instances the hopo was
expressed that students taking first
and socond semester studies would
not count on this time, unless it was
absolutely necessary. Advanced stji
dents, howevor, may take advantage
of It as they choose.
POOR ATTENDANCE AT VIPERS'
WELL WORKED UP PROGRAM
APPRECIATED BY BUT
FEW.
18
The people of the city have more
class than tho student body, at least
so it would appear from the attend
ance at vesper services last evening.
The audience, small for the merits
of the program, consisted of a, largo
quota of towns-people, who know a
good thing when they hear It It
would seem, by way of comparison,
that -'the average college boy would
rather read "Diamond Dick" than Ten
nyson, or to watch a "street carnival
than listen to an artist on the stage.
