WILL BE HELD NEXT SATURDAY
MORNING.
NEW EVENTS ARE PROMISED
"Big Scrap" Is an Innovation This
Year New and Startling Meth
od of Exhausting Surplus
Enthusiasm.
Next Saturday morning, November
1C, beginning at 9 o'clock, the annual
Olympic meet will be held on the ath
letic field. The freshmen and sopho
moreB are working hard for the differ
ent events and there is every indica
tion that this will be one of the most
successful of the Olympics heretofore
held at Nebraska. Some new features
bave been added this year which will
perhaps increase the interest In the
meet.
The cross-country has been elimi
nated this year, but it is not believed
that thiB will be missed from among
the other events A football game at
!) o'clock marks the beginning of the
meet, and will be the initial extractor
of pep and enthusiasm from the op
posing factions. Between halves of
the game will be wrestling and boxing
matches between the amateur Gotches
and Johnsons of the two classes No
purse lias yet been offered, however,
and side bets on the contenders will
not be permitted.
Then follows a slxteen-man relay
race, and a tug-of-ward which promise
to be extremely interesting to both
sides, as the men are quite well
matched After this is the crowning
event of ttte morning the "big scrap"
between all the members of the fresh
man and sophomore classes. This is
similar to the flag-rush of hiBt year
and will Le carried on under similar
rules. The opposing sideB line up be
hind lineB at different Bides of the
athletic field Behind them corre
sponding to the goal line in football
is another line. Each man who is
pusjied over his own goal line by an
opponent Is taken out of the battle,
and the war 1b waged between the
survivors who remain upon the field.
The events and the points allowed
for the winning of each are as follows:
Points
Football game 30
3 wrestling matches, 5 each.... 15
3 boxing matches, 5 each 15

LINCOLN DEFEATS YORK 21 - 0
Visitors Play Locals to a Standstill
the First Half, But Unable to
Stand Pace.
Lincoln High triumphed oei York
High yesterduy by the score of 21 to.0,
York played the Lincoln aggregation
to a standstill thp first quarter und
most of the bccoikI. However, they
seemed to huvo played beyond their
form, and during the last gradually fell
back before the attack of the Lincoln
backs.
Doyle and Allan starred for Lincoln,
while the York backflcld was the re
deeming feature of York's eleven
Fumbling of punts lost many yards for
York, while their poor tackling greatly
aided the Lincoln bunch In making
their line gains. Sam
FOREST CLUB COMMENDED
Contributes to the Foret Club Annual
Unintentionally Complimented by
Other Paper.
In the last issue of the Forestry
Quarterly, published at Ithaca, N. Y,
the contributors to last year's Forest
Club Annual receive piaitfe in a lound
about way To quote from the quar
terly, "This publication. emanating
from the students' organisation of the
forestry department of the University
of Nebraska, contains number of J
uij uiicivadiiK hi nil'" " "miij ' i
wider circle of readeih than are likel
to be reached The papers are fur
nished, we take it, tnoHtly by outsid
ers."
Their last statement is erroneous,
all the papers being furnished by stu
dents of the forestry department. The
article gives a snort but very accurate
review of the Annual, and outside the
one error is very complimentary to
the volume. V. F.
DEMERITS GO INTO EFFECT.
Men Assigned for Delinquent Squad
Held First Drill Last Night.
Company X fell in for the first time
last night, and under the direction of
Sergeant Johnson went through move
ments calculated to Imprest the men
with the dignity of military discipline
This is a company organized for the
purpoBe of giving an hour'H extra drill
each week for those who have received
demerits for not complying with the
rules of the department
That the discipline in the regiment
is as a whole good iv. own by the fact
that only eight men were required to
take the extra hour's work the first
week. TheBe men had failed to pro
vide themselves with uniforms, and for
this were assigned to the aqgad

, DOES TIME FLY AT NIGHT
If so, This Contributor Thinks that the
New Clock Should Be Illuminated
After Dark.
Well, the clock, the gift of the class
of 11M2, is in place above Library Hall
and tlie student has no longer an ex
cuse for tardiness The Bchool appre
ciates thiB gift of a much-needed clock,
I but there 1b only one thing we wish to
find fault with ,and that is it docs not
show the flight or time by night. Could
not our electrical department be per
suaded to put a light above its dial?
Some may say that this Is not needed,
out wo t liink it is, for there are bu-
IdentB on the campus until at least 10
0-ci0(.k uml a KUnce at its dial would
jurge thom to whatever work they may
have to do it may inconvenience the
fiiBser while strolling about in the
moonlight, for then he would not have
the excuse that his watch was broken
But seriously, It would be a great help
to the school, and we would like to see
It done by those who have the power to
act. L. H.

Today Doane comes with a bunch

field. It may be such a thing that thoy
will get away with a rew bushels of
the Huskers' crop.
With Bronson, a giant tacklo of
some 220 pounds of beef, they fool
confident of making many yards with
the human battering ram. as he has
proven himself to be, and crosa tho
much desired goal line of Stlehm's pro
teges. Bronson s ruunlngmnto. Left
Tackle King, has also proven a lower
of strength in the line.
Human at end lias proven an apt
executor of the forward pass an well
as being a good defensive player Last
Katui du a week ago Doane defeated
the Hastings College bunch to the tune
of !i!i to 0 The week previous thoy
also defeated the last Cotner aggrega
tion by a comfortable score
Their hospital list is small. Kretz

Coach Frank of the arslty predicts

With ravorable weather conditions
prevailing, the conflict promises to bo
a real article of the great college
sport. 8am.
