It was found that tho .band Is well
known and has a good reputation over
tho state. At York the plan met with
special favdr, Mr. MacLaud, presi
dent of tho First National Bank of
that town, was a guest of Lieutenant
Bowman at tho home concert: given

UNIVER8ITY PASTOR'S IDEAS ON
SPORTSMANSHIP.
WESLEYAN GAME DISCUSSED
Thinks That Sportsmanship and Ath
letic Spirit Front the Bleachers
Should Be as Clean at the
Players In the Game. ' v
Kdltor of tho Dally Nebraskan:
With tho closing of tho basketball
senson our minds aro relatively free,
for tho moment, from thought of any
paxUcnlaiuauuenjiGrJesLrSameeJicu,
be plnyed. This mnkoB it a good timo
to proposo tomo discussion of tho
whole subject of University athletics.
Everyone has noticed that ia good
many rather soveroly critical orticloM
on this general subject have .been ap- .
pcarlng latoly. In newspapers and
magazines. Even tho Atlantio Month
ly has published somo of tho ablest
of theso, two In February and one In
March. "
The jvolnts which scorn most often
to bo tho ground for criticism are tho
undemocratic nnturo of tho avorago
university system of athletics, and tho
unsportsmanlike conduct of many
games. It Is said that only a very
small percentngo of tho student body
is evon oxpected to participate, and
that tho few who aro of 'Sufficient
strength and ability to mako the
toams aro favored out of all propor
tion to any permanent worth in their
performance, so creating a falsosenso
of values in tho average student mind.
This last rosult Is aggravated in a
dlfferent-way-lf theso- same chosen
representatives of tho university are
encouraged in unsportsmanlike meth
ods of play for tho sako of- winning
games.
As totho first cbargo that the tend
ency of our athlotio system is un
democratic, It scarcely noola arguing.
