INTRAMURAL ATHLETICS
The athletic department which
made and published extensive plans i not try to ruin his high school spirit
sees n outstanding athlete consis
tently perform in a creditable fash
ion, in Lincoln or elsewhere, it wishei
to persunde him to enter the Univer
sity of Nebraska and be pledged t
thoir society.
In fact, fraternity members are In
structed to be always on the lookout
for new members who mny bring
honor to their group and their school,
scholastically and socially as well as
athletically. Fraternities may be
thought of as sub-agents for the best
interests for their school. hy not
try and keep our own athletic pro
ducts in our own state institution?
We could name a doxen athletes of
prominence who had been Nebraska
hieh school performers but were
coaxed away. Some of these who rose
to near ail-American fame were
Rokusek, former Omaha athlete, later
Illinois football captain; Coghzer,
former Omaha athlete, later Missouri
pnss-snatching ace; and Spears,
Drake captain last year, former Fair
field youth.
It is true that Lincoln high athletes
have been invited to fraternity din
ners and social festivities. It is true
that these youth have training rules
to keep. Fraternities do not deliber
ately cause the youths to break the
said rules.
While they do request the presence
of the high school student they do
Notices
for a system of intramural athletics
that would enable every student to
engage in some sport seems to have
forgotten those plans. The Coliseum
has provided the facilities needed for
the establishment of such a compre
hensive system, yet to date the prom
ises made by certain men have not
been fulfilled.
In the September issue of The
Nebraska Alumnus an article ap
peared under the heading, "Plan
Elaborate Intramural Athletic Pro
gram." This article contained a com
prehensive plan "whereby every stu
dent will be given an opportunity for
.physical recreation". It contained an
outline of the fall, winter, and spring
program with a special sub-title in
forming the readers that the "Pro
gram Begins Now."
Undoubtedly the athletic depart
ment had good intentions and had
every good reason to believe that the
promises they made would be ful
filled. The plans if carried out would
reach every student who had a live
interest in any form of athletics; for
that reason it is only right to call at
tention to the fact that the plan
seems to have been discarded tem
porarily, if it has not been forgotten.
They merely look upon him as their
guest and future prospect. They do
not try to ruin the high school ath
letics as was charged. They try to
encourage it more and more, realiz
ing it to be the root and source of
future Cornhusker material.
The fault of the whole matter, as
we see it, lies with the high school
athlete himself. If the youth allows
this fraternity association to swell
his head, becomes selfish, and wants
to play the game himself, we should
not look upon the fraternity as a
curse. What we should do is to repri
mand the high school athlete severely
and make him realize the folly rf his
own conceit. The problem is not one
of stopping the action of fraternities
but one of opening the eyes and
minds of the high school athlete to
the truth of the situation.

THE FRESHMAN GAME

defeated the representatives of the
Kansas Aggies first-year class in the
first game of its kind held in the Sta

the game was watched with consid
erable interest by the other Valley
members. The interest and enthus
iasm shown in this contest should
continue the practice in the Corn
husker institution and it will doubt-

The preceding paragraph taken
from the article in the Nebraska Al
umnus gives in brief form the exten
siveness of the plans which were for
mulated for intramural athletics. It is
apparent that the men in charge had
planned elaborately for utilizing this
huge building we have called the
"Coliseum". The part of the program
dated for this fall cannot be carried
out but it is hoped that the remainder
of the plan will be realized.
Considering the benefits which
would be derived from a system em
bodying friendly athletic competition
among the men students, which would
increase their enthusiasm for bodily
vigor and health, and which would
command a real interest in physical
recreation, it is hoped the athletic
department will initiate the steps
necessary for its realization.
In the event that the plan is adop-
The first-year men in the Pacific
Coast colleges engage in a schedule
comparable to that of the varsity
teams, and this is probably a contri
buting factor to the high-class foot
ball put forth by these institutions.
The Missouri Valley conference and
the University of Nebraska are show
ing the proper spirit of advancement
in taking up the practices of other
successful universities.
The game was well attended by
an enthusiastic audience. The fresh
men played with a dash and vim that
showed the effects of their support.
While the non-student attendance
was hardly overflowing, there were
enough people there to give the pro
per setting for a Nebraska football
game.
We are glad to see the practice of
having freshman games at Nebraska
started, and hope that the games will

To the Editor:
Is there no way we can appeal to
instructors so they will dismiss their
classes on time?
There is ample time between per
iods to enable one to goto and from
classes, but when the professor keeps
his classes hve or ten minutes over
time, what is to be done?
There are some professors who
spend the fifty minutes of class time
talking about anything and every
thing except the day's lesson. They
undoubtedly have the best intentions,
but by some peculiar turn of mind
are not able to stick to their subject
They ramble on, and the time slowly
passes. The bell for dismissal rings.
the professor realizes that he has im
parted nothing to his class, and con
sequently keeps them over-time in a
last effort to say something, not
realizing that his students probably
have classes the following hour.
While he is trying to talk, the stu
dents are restless, shuffling their
feet, rustling papers, clearing their
throats, or gazing out of the window
trying in every, way to show that
they want to go.
The pupils do not get anything out
of a class like this, and they are
generally late to the next class. Can
not the instructor realize that there
are other classes besides his, and to
confine his lectures to the allotted
space of time?

make it a success. Other schools have

commendable system for the promo

athletic department fulfills their
promises of September.
HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETES
University of Nebraska fraternities
have been charged with seriously
jeopardizing Lincoln high school ath
letics. In the Friday morning issue of
the Lincoln State Journal, "Former
Lincoln Football Players" made the
statement that University societies
are doing more harm than the old
nigh school frats ever did. It is
charged that the high school athletes
do not play the game for their school
but to make a hit with the Univer
sity fraternities. Fraternities are
blamed for the breaking of training
tries by various high school youths
and the condition of stubborn over
confidence and self superiority which
it is alleged exists in the rank and
file of the Lincoln high football team.
We believe that the authors have
ben somewhat cynical, although
fraternises do have their influence
on the high school athlete, it is our
opinion- that the condition is not ar
devastating and deplorable as pic
tured in the article by the writers.
Ve do not, however, attempt to deny
that the influence on the junior Corn
hunkers is all the best It is with this
situation as with many, there are bad
points and good points as well. Our
candid opinion is that in so far as
the Influence is brought to bear, the
bigh school athlete is wholly the one
at fault
University of Nebraska fraternitier
are after the bigh school athlete nc
doubt So are other college fraterni
ties and other university athletic
scouts. Naturally when a fraternity
iau gridiron campaign. The exper
ience is invaluable for the first-year
men, and at the same time it gives
them something to work for during
the season, and to make their first
bow to the Cornhusker supporters.
The Princeton students have abol
ished the annual sophomore-freshman
tug-of-war because of the high cost
of rope strong enough to stand the
strain of the tussle between the 1200
members of those classes. It is esti
mated that such a rope would have
cost $1000.
