TIIURSDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1915
According to a letter from Chicago, another Nebraska Alumni
Association has been formed. As such organizations continue to be
organized and as they develop in power the University of Nebraska
will have an enviable prestige over the entire country.
It seems now that DeFord and his cohorts may have an early
opportunity to become acquainted with the home folks.
It is not often that "Jack" Best dictates stories for the papers
but his letter of appreciation in today's columns will appeal to those
who are acquainted with the old trainer. We have learned nothing
new in regard to a pension for this kind old man through the courtesy
of his early proteges".

I am greatly pleased to see so many
track men out.
I hope by next year we will have
building for football men only, so
case of bad weather (such as we have
had In years gone by), we will have
a good place to dry the football
clothes. We must have larger lockers
for football clothes, as the lockers we
have are only fit for gym clothes
I trulv aDDreclate the kindness

FORUM
To the Editor:
Why must we be continually bored
by the DeFord affair? Persistent at
tempts on the part of a few con
scientious individuals who have dis
played a marked amount of misguided
enthusiasm, have finally succeeded in
showing it in a bad, and correspond
ingly distorted, light throughout the
state.
Generally, student sentiment is
neither for or against DeFord. It was
merely the caprice of a 16-year-old
lad, and if student opinion is left to be
the judge it will consider the affair as
very inconsequential indeed.

Dear Sir:
We thought your readers might be
interested to know that another Ne
braska Alumni Association has come
Into existence. Thursday eveneing a
crowd of enthusiastic Nebraskans met
here at the Gladstone Hotel for an
informal dinner and celebration of our
glorious football season. We had
hoped for a meeting on the night of
the Cornhusker banquet but were
obliged to have ours a day early. How
ever, this did not dampen in the least
the spirit of '.he occasion and the many
references to Coach Stiehm, the team
and Dr. Maxey, brought forth great
applause.
At the close of the meeting plans
were made for a permanent organiza
tion to be known as the Nebraska
Alumni Association of Chicago. Otto
Sinkie, well remembered as Ivy Day
orator of his class, was elected presi
dent. We hope that our numbers and in
fluence may so increase that we shall
be of real benefit to the Nebraska
which we all love.
Yours respectfully,
RUTH O'BRIEN, A. M. 1915.
Secretary.

I was very glad to see so many out
at the Cornhusker Banquet and the
spirit they show toward athletics. I
do greatly regret losing our good
players, but I hope we will have as
good team next year and I cannot see
any reason why we should not, if we
have as many as we did this year;
there were nearly a hundred vent out
every night to practice football and
that is Just where we get good ma
terial to pick from. I was also very
pleased to see some of our old players
back with us again, helping us all they
could.
We have good men that come from
high school and after Coach Stiehm
puts the polish on them, they are
ready and capable of playing any team.
I don't care what team. I hope all
