submitted to The Daily Nebraskan
Tuesday by the society:
Extract from the Innocents So
ciety constitution:
"The Innocents Society, founded
in the year Nineteen hundred and
three, shall be composed of thirteen
male students of the University of
Nebraska who have affiliated with
the class in which they expect to
graduate dtfring their sopohomore
and junior years in succession, and
who are about to take their first
college degree.
"Any man entering a college re
quiring two years liberal preparation,
shall be considered as a junior in his
freshman year in that college.
"No student shall be eligible to
membership in the Innocents Society
unless he shall have, at the close of
his junior year in the University of
Nebraska, enough college credits to
permit his graduation with the senior
class the following spring.
"This section shall not be interpre
ted to include any student who has
sufficient credit hours, but whose
credits are so low that his "gradu
ation with the senior class the follow
ing spring" is improbable.
"The minimum hour requirements
at the close of the first semester
of the junior year must be seventy
five hours and enough additional
hours must be carried so that there
is every reasonable possibility of
fourteen hours credit being granted
the second semester."
Alumni Control
"At the first regular meeting fol
lowing January 1 of each year, three
resident alumni members (not hon
orary) of the Innocents Society shall
be selected by majority vote of the
active members as an Alumni Elec
tion Committee. It shall be the
duty of those members to choose a
date for the annual election which
may, in the discretion of this com
mittee, be unknown to the active
members. It shall be the duty of
this committee to meet with the thir
tcn active members on the date
chosen for election and to review and
tabulate the results. The ballots for
both the Tentative List and for the
final thirteen men shall be taken on
the same night in one continuous
meeting. No adjournment shall be
permitted between the balloting for
the Tentative List and for the selec
tion of the thirteen Innocents. Each
man balloting shall sign his name to
his own ballot. If in the opinion of
the Alumni Committee there has
been any apparent attempt to elect a
slate, the ballot shall be declared in
valid and the members so voting re

the association of alumni Innocent
of the city of Lincoln. In such cases
and after such a bearing another
election will be called for by the
Election Committee."

INTRA-MURAL
ATHLETICS TO
BE EXTENSIVE
Athletic Department Plan for
Greater Number Of Con
tests For Next Year
WILL HAVE ALL SPORTS
Inter-College, Inter-Clait, Inter-Fraternity
and Non-Fraternity
Tourneys To Be Held
A greater number of inter-mural
athletic contests than have been held
formerly have been planned by the
Athletic Department for the year of
192C-27. The completion of the
Field House will allow winter-time
sports on a much larger scale. One
new feature planned by the Athletic
Department is the participation of
non-fraternity men in the contests.
This has been recognized as a poor
feature of the present system ,and
it is being so arranged that non
fraternity teams can take part in
most of the tournaments.
As planned now, the inter-mural
athletics will include a scoring sys
tem for the whole year, by which
the organization having the highest
number of points will be given a tro
phy. This championship will be
reckoned on two factors, first, the
rating the organization receives in
the various contests, and second, the
number of men competing in the
athletics. The latter basis for indu
ing the champion lays stress on get
ting a larger number of students in
terested in athletics that for various
reasons do not take part in the Var
sity sports.
Acting Athletic Director Gish in
tends to make a trip to Michigan this
summer for the purpose of study
ing the system of intra-mural ath
letics. The system used by the Uni
versity of Michigan is recognized as
one of the best in the country, and
Mr. Gish wishes to incorporate the
better points of their system into
that used at Nebraska.
Have Three Fall Sports
In the fall the sports that will be
conducted by the Department are
football, cross-country, and tennis.
Football will be inter-college only.
Each team representing the various
colleges will play three or four
games. The extent to which this will
be carried out depends upon the
fields and equipment available for
the contests. The college elevens
will be coached by students who are
registered in the four-year course of
athletic coaching.
Cross country teams may be enter
ed by colleges, classes, fraternities,
and other organizations. The cham
pions of each of the groups, such as
inter-class or inter-fraternity groups
will be run separately. Then the
All-University championship will be
decided in a run in which the re
presentativea of the groups will
compete. Both the individual and
and organization points will be
scored in this run. The extent of
tennis competition next fall cannot
be ascertained very accurately, as the
construction of Morrill Hall will pro
bably hinder tennis playing.
A heavy schedule, although much
of it is tentative, has been arranged
for the winter season. Basketball,
of course, will be the principal sport.
Four tournaments are planned, inter-college,
inter-class, inter-fraternity,
and non-fraternity. These
tournaments will be played off on a
cague basis, and the winners will
meet to decide the All-University
champion. Any organization not in
cluded under the other three groups
will be eligible to compete in the
non-fraternity tourney. Another
feature that will be introduced be
cause of the added floor space in the
Field House is a free-throw tourna
ment. This will be for both indi
vidual and teams.
Need More Equipment
Several tentative plans for other
sports depend upon how much of the
Field House the Athletic Department
can equip by next year. There wili
be tennis, volley-ball, hand-ball,
squash-tennis, horse-shoe pitching,
indoor baseball and bowling. Sever-,
al tennis courts will be put in the
basement of the Field House. These
will be dirt courts and it will be
possible to conduct the racquet sport
on a minor scale at least throughout
the winter. Volley-ball should
prove popular, as much floor space
will be available. Tournaments will
be run off in the inter-college, inter-
class and inter-organization groups.
It is doubtful whether the Athletic
Department will be able to con
struct the courts for hand-ball and
squash tennis. This will be done
eventually, however. A limited
number of courts will be made for
horse-shoe pitching, but there will
probably be no great participation
