establishment, but this ear Captain
Y.ites, Colonel Smith, Captain Moon
of the (uartermastei's department,

epoch in the military department and

LEONI'S CANTATA GIVEN BEAU
TIFUL RENDITION AT CONVOCATION.
'The Cate of Life," tho dramatic
cantata given at convocation jester
day b the Cniversity Chorus under
the diiection of Mrs Carrie 15 Hay
mond, was attended by one of 'he
largest audiences of tho year The
huge sie ot the audience and their
enthusiastic appreciation of this great
classic are alone ptoof enough of the
fact that Cniveisitj students appie
iate something else besides ' tag
time "
The production took nearly an hour
but during the whole time the audi
ence was held in delighted attention
The scene of the action was in Rone
in the time of Caesar The Btory por
travs a little band of Christian mar
tvrs who met death in the arena be
cause of their faith
With magnificent effect the sevm
five choilsters, aided b a special oi
chestra and soloists and the pipe or
gan, brought out the grandeur of t.ie
tras a little band of Christian mar
bio pomp and shining gold," the (load
of Caesar's letuining legions and
'the blare of loud and stirring
trumpets," the fearless lijmn of those
about to die and their final triumph
The work of the special soloists
i'lobus, Mr Reuben Walt, Portia, Miss
Winifred Hjde and Chier Priest of
lupiter, Mr ( harles II Miller and
the orchestra accompanimen' was
verv beautiful and effoctive

PRAISE CONANTS EFFORTS
LAW STUDENTS ARE ELATED
OVER SUCCESS OF THE
BARBECUE.
Kver since the first law barbecue, a
vear ago, it has been a matter of the
wildest speculation in the minds of
academics what that ferocious bunch
would do when turned loose
It is curious but true that the mind
must have proper environment in
which to grow or it cannot be ex
pected to bring about the desired re
suits, and another thing in connection
may bo mentioned that "opposition
fans the flame " Now there seems to
be no place where the legal throat
will respond to the legal spirit quite
aB truly as in tho good old "U" build
ing Foi th 1b reason some of the
older and more conservative Iaws are
undecided whether it is for them to
bo thankful for a brand new building
next year
Do not infer from this that there
wasn't any noise at the barbecue, but
that there was too much room in
which to yell the pleasure of hearing
the echo and re echo of the blood-curdling
being lacking
The Laws take off their hats to tho

Racely Out on Account of Injuries,
But McGowan, Christmas and
Beaver in Good Shape.
Hatuidav afternoon Nebraska meets
her old erieinv Minnesota on Nebras
ka Field in what promises to be the
closest fought tiaik contest of the
vein I'ndauntecl b the Kansas de
lent, the (oinhiisker team will enter
the field Saturda) with the confident
deter ruination that the Gophers must
bo beaten.
Minnesota Is unusuallj strong In her
track team this year and tho fifteen
men representing her will be those
who have been winning almost all
the meets in which they have been en
tered so far this ear Coach Wll
Hams Is preparing to meet Coaches
Stiehm and Reed with a lineup of
athletes who will put up a fight worth
remembering
Racely will be unable to enter tho
Bprlnts for Nebraska because of tho
sprained ankle which he received last
week at Kansas, but Christmas and
Heaver aro expected to make a good
showing Minnesota's work In tho
sprints Ib an unknown factor at pres
ent as no "dope" on this event has
reached Nebraska aB yet.
Interest In Relays.
The exciting events of the day will
bo the half mile and the mile relays.
Minnesota Is rumored to have Bovoral
fast long distance men, but this Ib one
contest In which Nebraska has an ex
cellent Bhow, as McGowan, tho holder
of tho Missouri valley record in tho
half mile, is in fine shape and Is
"doped'' to make some fast time. An
derson, on the mile, made a great
show lug at KariBaB In taking llrst
place and Is expected to do great
thlngB tomorrow NebraBka Ib also
strong on tho relay, her present team
having run away from every ono yet
run up against In tho half, the mile,
and tho two mile relay tho Cornhusk
er team is scheduled to pile up tho
points,
Robs, Nebraska's weight man, is to
compete with ono of tho best Bhot-put-ters
in tho valley, Frank, captain of
tho Minnesota team. If ho wiriB, this
will bo greatly to his credit aB a
weight man
In tho high and broad Jump not
much is known about Minnesota's
work except that it Ib fast and con
sistent. Reavis did good work for
Nebraska last Saturday in tho Kansas
meet and will probably repeat it to
morrow. Cromwell is matched against
Bomo of the best jumpers In tho val
ley in the broad Jump, but his every
day work predicts that he will at least
place well. Hastings has been show
ing up well in the pole vault so far
this season, winning a place In every
meet he has entered and is expected
to take that ovont tomorrow.
At the Kansas meet laBt Friday a
large crowd of spectators was present
which was quito a contrast to tho few
who sat on the bleachers at tho Ames
