Football tactics were indulged In
several times to the evident delight
of the crowd, who applauded madly
when tho corpulent Haskell wont
sliding over a smooth stretch of pol
ished floor. The bunch from Omaha
were entirely out classed, but they
took their defeat gracoful enough,
claiming that if they had to be beaten
Nobraska was tho school to do It.
While the game was lively and hard
fought throughout, there did not seem
to be the "deadly rivalry" that char
acterlzes most college games, for
there was no particular glory to be
gained in beating one's own kith and
kin.
Amberson and Jones were easily
the stars for tho Omaha crowd, with
Jones scoring six out of the thirteen
points. Amberson recelvod much ap
plause for his individual work both
on the detenso and In his repeated
rushes on tho Nebraska goal. He
often succeeded in breaking the
'Varsity formation as soon as the ball
was put in motion.
The second game will be played to
night and it promises to be at least
exciting ,lf not close. This Is the sec
ond time that tho Omaha bunch have
met defeat, since they started on their
trip several weeks ago.

PURP0SE OF NEW VOCATIONAL
GROUPING8 ARRANGED BY
FACULTY OF COLLEGE.
POSITIONS ARE OFFERED MANY
Graduates Having Taken These Ar
rangements of Subjects Take
Rank With Those Coming
From "Colleges of
Commerce."
As the second semester registration
approaches students In the college of
arts and sciences are beginning to
express curiosity in regard to the
"Vocational Grounpings" announced
during registration week of the first
semester of this year. The announce
ments and bulletin concerning the
new "groupings" came out so late and
so unexpectedly last fall that arts
students hardly had time to investigate
them bfore registration had to be
completed In spite of this, the do
pal t merits In which the "vocational
gioupings" were announced state that
quite a number ol arts students
mostly Juniors and Seniors, have suc
ceeded in finding their vnj Into the
new order of things
The idea of these groupings Is, to
furnish tho student with preparation
for some occupation, or busin ss In
life, while he (or she) Is acquiring n
"liberal education" in this particular
college. All of the regulnr "require
ments for graduation" In the arts col
lego are met by these new groupings,
but from to sophomore to senior year
they also include gradually increasing
specialization along the line of work
a student Is planning to follow after
graduation. Tho present "adviser"
sybtem prevents tho formal opening
of the "vocational grouping' 'to fresh
men. But each group has a preterred
freshmen group of courses, conform
ing to tho requirements of the "fresh
man program,' which will generally
ho accepted by tho "adviser" of any
freshman who has really set hit
mind upon bucIi specialization.
These groupings take tho placo of
tho "school of commerce" found in
mobt other universities of the coun
try, and aro really broader than such
"Bchools. as they Include similar spe
cialization along lines of scientific,
civic, and social employment, as well
as along business lines. At present,
that is for the second semester of this
year, vocational groupings are of
fered along the following lines, under
the advisership of the departments
Indicated:
penoral business, banking, Insur
ance, transportation, consular sorvlce,
civil service tho department of polit
ical economy.
Businesses involving a knowledge
of real estate and land valueB the
department of geography.
Country newspaper work, advertis
ing, Spanish-American salesmanship
and investmeut tho department of
American hlBtory.
