Tho freshmen had decided that they would givo tho University a much needed score board for the athletic grouns. Tho score boar dwas prepared and before the ferBhmen were abo to make the presentation, the sophomores se- cured"Tho board and carried ir u tho field In tho third Inning, with the score correctly tabulated and the fol lowing Inscription In sophomore colors printed upon It: "Presented by the Class of 1916." This so outraged the froshmen that disregarding all faculty and collogo council rules that they rushoa across the field and took the board by sheer force of numbers. After the game was completed the freshies in a body came down St. Paul street and meeting a band of sopho mores a battle royal ensued. The fresh men were bo much In the majority that the result of the conflict was merely a matter of time. "Bob" Chit tick, a sophomore came out of the fight so badly injured that It was neces sary to call a physician after he had been carried to his room. The doctor stated that he was probably not seri ously injured although badly bruised and shaken. Four other members of the sophomore class were taken cap tlvos and carried bodily off the field. TheBe men were carried to Havelock, but were rescued by a band of sopho moreB about 9:30 Tuesday evening. Just what the reBUlt of the fight will be Is not known. The penalty to one or tho other classes and possibly to both will be to lose representation in the college council and possibly other honors will be taken away from them. It is impossible to state what action the faculty will take upon tho matter and it may be possible that they will leave the whole thing to tho council. Members of both classes were given quite a shock when they saw that Chlttick was so badly Injured, for It was feared for some time that he had sustained some Internal Injuries. This Bohered both crowds and les sened the Interest In the scrap. son, Ruth Davis, Annie Wynne and Helen Randall.

(Continued on Page 2) University Bill Was Not Signed by Chief Clerk More irregularities In tho passage of bills by the recent legislature cropped out Wednesday. This time, defects wore found to be due to the failure of Speaker Kelley in one Instance and Chief Clerk Richmond In another to Bign or attest bills. Tho McKlssick bill, H. R. 245, pro viding for a throe-fourths mill levy to develop the university and the state agricultural college, leaving the ques- fiocatluu tTTTr-poptilaT -rote itrf 1913, was found to lack Richmond's signature. It was the last bill to be acted upon by tho legislature, ex cept the general maintenance bill, and in the final wind up of the session tho chief clork overloked that detail. This omission, Secretary of State Walt thought, could be corrected even after the bill had gone to the governor and been signed by him and turned over to the secretary of state's office. Mr. Wait expected to see Richmond during the day and have him write his name on the certificate attached to the bill. In the case of H. R. 47, providing for the payment of pensions to widows of policeman by the city of Omaha, Speaker Kelley's failure to sign It be fore tho legislature adjourned would be fatal If anyone cared to test It In the courts. The constitution requires the speaker to sign all bills "while the house is in session and capable of transacting business. Butt's Manual Holds Attention of Spring Fevered Soldier Boys There has been a walling and gnash ing of teeth among the cadets with Bowman that Butt's Manual will be tho order of the day for the rest of the week. But the commandant is of the opinion that the systematic exer cises of Prof. Butt are an excellent specific for spring fever, and more over he has no very great respect for the varying whims of a lowly cadet. Each battalion has its turn at these beneficial exercises and no man escapes unless he skips drill and thereby Inflicts upon himself a penalty more serious than a wek of Butt's manuals. The band accompanies each battalion and the Bight of three com panies of soldier boys moving with trained precision and regularity is well worth Beelng. Freshmen will have no game tomor row as scheduled In yesterday's rag. This morning's convocation In the Temple program will be a musical one, of unusual excellence. Marian Jones will give the A concerto In A minor Op. 16 by Grieg In thre movements: Allegro motto moderato, Adagio, Al legro marcato. Mrs. Will Owen Jones will play the orchestral parts.
