The writer, in offering the above
selections, Is aware of the fact that
environment is likely to have a good
deal to do with a critic's point of view.
Big Nine experts see Big Nine stars,
and so snrely there can be no objec
tion to our choosing a goodly number
cf Cornhoskers Just because the one
who does the choosing happens to be
indirectly connected with the strongest
eleven of them all.
It Is needless to go into the discus
sion of the selections in general, but
some explanation or the points of
difference is necessary. Experience,
if nothing else, earns Abbott a guard
position on the first eleven over Dun
tilngan of Minnesota. Rutherford is
given preference over Maulbetsch be
cause the Husker captain played a
strong, consistent offensive and peer
less defensive game, while the former
ail-American star did not live tip to
bis record of a year ago.
Macomber of Illinois is retained at
the other halfback position also be
cause of his consistency and his punt
ing ability. Fitzgerald of Notre Dame
gets the guard position across from
Abbott, because like Abbott, he dis
played more football experience and
ability than anything the Big Nine
could boast
On the second team will be found
Gross and Barron of Iowa, two who
Nebraskans are willing to say, deserve
the preference over Clark of Illinois
and Boughton of Ohio. Corey of Ne
braska is given the call at one of the
tackles over Randolph of Northwest

Captain Rutherford, Chamberlain,

FERGUSON REPORTS MEETING
Engineering Professor Gives an Inter
esting Account of the Congress
In New York.
Trot. O. J. Ferguson of the Engi
neering department gives an interest
ing account of the meeting of the edu
cational committee of the National
Electric Light association, which was
held recently at Schenectady, N. Y.
Probably the point of most Interest
to Nebraska engineering students was
the support given by the committee to
the plan of employing electrical en
gineernig students during the summer.
This plan was originated by the Na
tional Electric Light association sev
eral years ago. Through the associa
tion, the student engineers obtain sum
mer work which gives them an op-
portunfty to test their fitness for the
work as well as putting the electric
light companies in touch with many
prospective electricians.
Through the committee, the Nation
al Electric Light assocaition promises
to furnish literature and data to in
structors in engineering colleges. Lec
turers will be sent out by the associa
tion to address engineering societies
on all sorts of technical subjects.
Freshmen Beat Sophomores
The Freshmen beat the Sophomores
in a bard fought battle Wednesday.
Thurston Morris, ex-Lincoln high, 14,
was the big star. The game was hot
ly contested throughout and the out
come was not certain until the final
whistle blew. The Sophs had the ball
on the ten-yard line several times,
but the "Frosh" held hard in the
pinches. The forward passes and the
long runs by Morris were features.
The Freshmen will play the Seniors
for the championship at an early date.
