FOOTBALL RALLY THURSDAY
Coach Stlehm Changes Line Is Try
ing to Work Out the Strongest
Combination.
(H. V. HARLAN'.)
Antelope Park, the home of the Lin
coln hall team, erstwhile contenders
fur third place In the Western League,
was esterday the scene of a hard
thirt minute scrimmage between the
ai-.t.. .tii.l Irishman elevens Those
tlnity minute were well spent The
arsity is steadily improving and was
able to do a lot of things to the lads
of the Green Cap. As Coach Stiehm
aptly put it, "the freshmen ain't much
tonight, boys; go to 'em." The var
sity went to them, was able to hold
them for downs several times, and in
addition, scored three or four touch
downs. The Line Improves.
The greateet improvement was no
ticeable in the varsity line. The line
men charged as a unit, opened up
good holes in the freshmen defense
and otherwise deported themselves as
a Cornhusker line should. Inconsist
ency is the main fault of the line.
This, no doutt. is due to the green
nest, of Horn' of the men For the
major portioL of the contest the line
played like veterans. Hut occasionally
it would go to pieces and play rotten
ball. Practice, however, is the remedy
for this ill nd practice they are
getting.
For a half iour before the varsity
freshman mi Coach Stiehm played
the varsity line against the scrub line.
He kept them at it hard on both de
fense and offense Kver misplay was
analyzed on the spot and played over
and over until corrected. It was a
hard grind. The men came out of it
tired but with a much greater knowl
edge of the artistic art of getting
under a line jdunge in order to break
it up.
Change in Lineup.
"Jumbo" made three changes in the
personnel of the lineup last night.
Robs, the big 200-pounder, was placed
at right tackle and should prove a
great ground-gainer on the tackle
around play Heller held down left
guard and played a good game in that
position. Howard went in at left end
and seems to fit the place to the best
advantage. These shifts may not be
permanent The coach is trying out
all possible combinations to determine
on the strongest machine.
While Head Coach Stiehm was put
ting the varsity through their paces,
Assistant Coach Dudley was teaching
the scrub team some Minnesota plays.
Later in the week the reserves will
line up against the varsity, thereby
giving the latter an opportunity of
solving the Gopher game.
-Cameron and Shields have been
checked off the cripple list. They were
out in suits yesterday and are working

LOWER CLASSES MUST HUSTLE
FOR THE BIG SCRAP
Wtlh the class elections over, the pressing duty devolves upon
the presidents of the two lower classes to organize their following
with all possible haste in preparation for the Olympics to be held
Saturday. In view of the fact that the big scrap is but three days off,
the magnitude of the Job that is placed on the shoulders of the lead
ers of the classes becomes apparent. Olympic committees must be
appointed, organized and informed of the details of the fight. Through
them the presidents must reach the individuals of the classes, bestir
ring in their individual breasts the fighting spirit that is to determine
the uutcorm: of ihe day and arousing a widespread feeling of class
unity that will create that advantage which naturally attends syste
matic organization.
In order that the respective presidents may fulfill their duties
with the thoroughness and despatch that will be necessary In so
short a time, the active co-operation of every neophyte and second
year man is necessary, not only by seeing that he himself is behind
the system, but likewise by exhorting his classmates to be on the
proper spot at the proper time. Too much emphasis can not be placed
on the fact that the time between the election of officers and Olym
pics is grossly inadequate for a thorough organization.. Consequently
the class that shows the greatest and most spirited activity during
so short a period will be the one that will carry off the laurels on the
day.
Not nearly so much interest in the big annual fight has been dis
played on the part of the lower classes as the importance of the
affair warrants. The officials li charge of the melee have been for
some time carefully evolving plans with the distinct object In view
of making every combatant put up an Individual fight that will bring
out either hie fighting endurance or cowardly weakness to the utter
most. The purpose of the fight is to so organize interclass rivalry that
each underclassman may have his fill at the proper time, and the
scheme for the coming fight is fully adequate to carry out such In
tention. There will be no rese -ved seats for babies and weak sisters,
and the only thing that will keep any real Nebraskan of the lower
classes out of the clash will be his own infatile desire to be home
with mama.
Special plans have been evolved for facilitating proper organiza
tion. Thursday night both the sophomores and the freshmen will hold
mass meetings, the places of each to be announced In tomorrow's
Nebraskan. The purpose of th: meetings are obviously to create all
possible "pep" for the occasion and to make such plans and announce
ments as the classes will be required to know. Tryouts for the box
ing and wrestling events will also be held on the same night in a place
to be announced lated.
Saturday morning the classis will meet en masse at the Armory
at 8:30 o'clock. The events wi I start promptly at 9 in following
order, and with the following respective scores:
Boxing event 5 points
Medicine ball fight . 20 points
Wrestling event. . . 5 points
Boxing event 5 points
Wrestling event- . . 5 points
The big free-for-all . 35 points
It is planned to devote no more time than twenty or thirty min
utes apiece to each event and with as little Intervening time as pos
sible. The team or contestants failing to appear will forfeit within
a reasonable space of time to the appearing opponent. No slugging
or unfair play will be allowed in any of the events, the free-for-all
included.
Plenty of work is thus placed upon the hands of each class with
two days in which to dispose of it. Wherofore,

workings of a smooth political ma

but few votes were cast. The Bopho

society, and the non-frat men of the

for the "barbs."

JUNIOR CLASS WILL ACT ON
INNOVATION TOMORROW
Propose that Financial Affairs Be Un-
der the Supervision of Board
of Managers.
A distinct Innovation is promised to
morrow in the junior class when tho
first meeting of the year will be held
in Memorial Hall at 11:30 a. m. The
movement is one to puj. the finances
on a thoroughly efficient basis.
The resolution introduced will call
for tlm abolishment of the hop, prom
and play committees which have
proved so extravagant in past years.
In place of these bunglesome bodies
one council, ailed the "board of man
agers" and consisting of five men, will
be appointed by the president. This
board will be the machinery which will
carry on the activities of the juniors
this next semester.
The theory is the same a.s that of
the commission form of government
such as is proposed for the senior class
the second semester. A few men who
