Forward Pass Rule.
The most striking and inteiesting
mle is the oii- which states that when
a foi ward pass is tin own out of
bounds befoM striking the giound in
tin- field of play the ball shall go to
tin- opponent at the point wheie it
niisspil the h-deline The significance
ol this r"le s great and Its lmpoit
ha- not been -tasped In main teams
In In n t t .'.ins that if a team is
haul press. (' and close to their goal
line, and s- , ' to get the ball away
from tli. it j-ponents, that the safe
thnm for tip i to do is to make a for'
watd pass tt , r will crostf thp Bideline
as lar down n- field as is possible to
throw it rj is takes the ball away
from the da-.-er point, for the oppo
nents must i it the ball into play by
sci linmaue ;i' The point where the for
w.ud pass c .--,ed the sideline
This is ,i " ich better method than
kicking Eti-ci.illy is this true if a
bad wind is Slowing With a hard
wind the ki -. is a decidedly uncer
tain pKx-'Mh - because the opponents
mm recover 11 and run the ball back
a long di't.i ' e. or een store An
othei jioint -amst the kick is the
fat t that it'- opponents rnav signal
foi a fait ea n and in that case they
hae their c .oice of kicking or put
tins; the baJ mto play by scrimmage,
oi ma f in -.ike a chance at a field
goal
To sum ur then, the out of-bounds-foiward
pas'- net hod is the logical one
to use wlun i team is being pushed
ba k onto tnir goal, if they can get
the ball awa from their opponents,
for two reasons the defensive team
has no than e to tiy for a field goal,
and there is no chance of the catcher
running it lack tor a possible touch
down
Great Chance for a Thrower.
This pla .k the chance of a lifetime
for the man who can heave the pig
skin for distances of thirty or forty
yards, even if he is not up to stand
ard otherwise There is a rule that
allows the substitution of a player at
the beginning of the second and third
quarters and any time during the final

The spirit the flistear men have

Along with main other tiaditions and

tin part of the upper classes to force

I one northern school it is the practice
I to give a stubborn frosh a dip in a

I unwilling freshman must be allowed
to follow his own wavward course, and
itbose who refuse to express anv Inter
est in school life must be allowed to
test undisturbed in their own ignorant
unconcern H adherence to the cus
torn a greater class interest and a
consequently more general school in

Good old Cornhusker Field, the bat

afternoon. U-tmflVred from an acme
attack of Indigestion duo to an over
diet of freshmen The ground was

the whole world was green Yes, Eth

ascertain whether it was a pot-pourri

A very wise man once remaikecl
that two bodies can not occupy the

Varsity-Freshman Scrimmage.
Otherwise the varsity and freshmen
football teams spent a very interest
ing and very Instructive afternoon The
two teams clashed tor twent minutes
The treshnien kicked off and rushed
the varsit off their feet Within
two minutes Chamberlain, the fresh
man left half, broke through and made
the first touchdown of the session.
Goal was kicked Time after time
Harmon's proteges ripped up the var
sity line for long gains The right
wing was especially weak, Erwln, right
tackle, seeming to be unable to stop
the plays that came his direction
Stiehni finally replaced him with
Grosse, who was able to stem the tide.
The Varsity Scores.
After the first freshman touchdown
the varsitv came back strong, and
Towle drew second blood In seven min
utes on a delayed pass He also kicked
goal, evening up the score. By this
time the varsity boyi had their "steam"
up and With the line playing great ball,
Purdy, Rutherford, and Towle burnt up
the ground to the freshman goal line
and Rutherford scored the second
