JUNIORS SCORER FRESHMAN 0
Upperclass Men Have Slight Advant
age In Weight Freshles Resort
to Open Play.
The long disputed question as to
the class championship in football is
Bettled. The juniors proved them
Belves worthy to be called "two time"
champions, by their victory over the
freshmen Thursday afternoon. The
score was 7 to 0 with the frosh on the
light end. The same was played on a
field that did not allow the teams to
exhibit the best that they were ca
pable of, the play being slow and the
men uncertain of their footing.
The juniors decided to stay with the
old plunging game and their attack
at the freshmen line was powerful.
The freshmen saw that to try to break
the junior line was impossible and
they resorted to open play. Their
perfect passes for average gains of
from ten to forty yardB went for
naught when they would fumble on the
next down giving the juniors the ball.
The lone touchdown came In the first
half as the result of straight football,
while in the second half the freshmen
clearly outplayed their more seasoned
opponents, losing on their own fum
bles. The individual players who distin
guished themselves in the struggle
were Captain Doyle for the freshmen,
who several times made brilliant runs
through the line and around the ends,
and Meyers and McGurk for the
juniors, who were the strong men on
botlv the offense and defense. Referee
Ilatlgan also starred in his role giving
satisfaction to both sides, which is a
rare occurence in the class struggles.
A BOUQUET FOR STEIHM
Iowa Athletic Director Compliments
Nebraska Coach on Unusually
Succesful Season.
At least one Iowa man admits that
tho Cornhuskers won fairly and
squarely when they met the Hawkeyes
last November. While many of the
Hawkeye supporters have been crab
bing ever since the referee blew the
final whistle, Clyde Williams, director
of athletics at Iowa State, is fair
enough to give Nebraska full credit for
the victory. The following letter was
received by Coach Stiehm yesterday:
"Dear Stiehm I am enclosing
contract for basketball games.
"I want to congratulate you on
your football season. You cer
tainly had a good team and they
played mighty clean football. I
will admit I was surprised at your
victory over Iowa. From all re
ports I hear, there was no ques
tion about your deserving to win.
"With best wishes to the
Stiehms for a hapy holiday sea-
son, I am, very truly yours,
"Clyde Williams."

all expenses a surplus of $22 remains
from the ticket receipts. This will be
turned Into the general fund for stu

Governing Boards of M. V.
Universities to Discuss
Athletic Questions Jan. 19
The program for the Missouri valley
conference of governing boards of uni
versities, which will be held in Lin
coln January 19, has been announced.
The question which is the prime rea
son for the meeting of the conference
at this time Is, "Shall the ruling of the
conference forbidding intercollegiate
contests on other than college grounds
be repealed?" Alumni of Kansas City
are especially anxious that this rule
be repealed.
The conference will also devise uni
form scholastic and athletic standards
for the members of university athletic
teams. It is also proposed that the
faculty representatives of the univer
sities of the conference bo directly
connected with the departments of
physical training and athletics.
The athletic quest Ions will not bo
the only ones to be settled by the cln
ference. It Is felt that a better meth
od of determining the efficiency of
teachers is needed, and a committee
which has been investigating fraterni
ty questions will make a report. This
committee is composed of the presi
dents of the conference universities
and the principal fraternity questions
which will be discussed are the devlB
Ing of uniform financial accounting
and unlf6rm pedagogical accounting In
all university fraternities.
GIRLS WEAR MORTAR BOARDS
Cap Committee Too Busy to Meet
Economical Students Fear Neces
sity of Purchasing Win
ter Hats.
Seventy-five senior girls donned bor
rowed mortar boards yesterday and
went bravely forth to eight o'clocks
through the blinding fog and smoke.
Not until ten o'clock, when the sun
at last came the mists in its struggle
for recognition, were these grim sym
bols of wisdom noticed upon the vari
colored heads of the dignified senior
girls.
It Is traditional that the seniors
appear In the mortar boards on the day
of the last convocation before the
Thanksgiving recess. However, this
tradition has not been lived up to for
the last two years. Last year the
seniors were wearing their caps be
fore Christmas. But judging from the
indifference of the senior cap commit
tee it was feared by economical stu
dents who were planning to use their
mortar boards for winter hatB that
the caps would not be worn this year
until commencement day.
Tho "senior cap movement" was
started In the Y. W. C. A. room
Wednesday morning when one girl
rushed in and said to a bevy of august
seniors in tones, excited and mingled
with impatience, "How many of you
girls can borrow senior caps for to
morrow? Let's show the cap commit
tee that we won't wait around for
them any longer." This statement
was met with cries of approval and
Immediately the movement began.
