CONDRA AND STIEHM ARRANGE
FACULTY FOOT BALL GAME
Contest to be Staged Christmas Day
on Nebraska Field.
When two heroes of the gridiron
meet on the athletic Held there is
usually something doing. And when
two former heroes of the gridiron meet
on the campus there is usually some
thing stirring. That's how it comes
about that a most wonderful pipe
dream was indulged in yesterday by
two faculty men well known to the
student body.
The principles in our little drama
were Coach Stiehin and Dr. Condra.
They met out in front of II. hall. Says
Doc. to Coach:
"Say, Jumbo, let's start something
by getting up a faculty lootball game
on Christmas day."
"Agreed," said Jumbo, "who'll we
, pick for the two elevens?"
"Well," said the doctor, "I'll be one
side, and you and ten other former
heroes can be the other. Hetcha box
of seegars I can beatcha."
"All right," returned the coach, "but
who'll furnish the seegars?"
"Prof. Frye," asserted the doctor.
"If we agree to stage the game on the
campus, Frye will come loaded down
with choice Havanas, and then he'll
have ills pet hobby granted by being
allowed to smoke them in front of the
envying and admiring students."
Doctor and Coach thereupon parted
in a happy frame of mind, both sat
isfied that they were to be the chief
figures in the biggest stunt pulled off
at the Uni in many a day.
