THE NEBRASKA-IOWA GAME. The University "Gnnfj" Distln- Riilshos tsolf and Makes Fun for tho Crowd. It was a glorious day thai. No ono will over regret tho expense of tho trip, for tho comfort and satis faction which resulted far exceeds in worth tho amount of tho cost. Tho fact that some preparation was made, for organized singing and yelling was worth the trouble. A '"sing song" was hold in the chapel Saturday and Wednesday evenings previous to the exodus, and the songs printed in tho last issue of Tin-: Nkhkaskan were committed and tho tunes well learned. For tho benefit of tho general public Tiik Nkhkaskan had tho songs printed on separate shoots and distributed "Wednesday evening and Thursday morning to tho passengers on tho special train. They made a pleasing souvenir of tho occasion. About 300 Lincolnitos altogether loft for Omaha, though not all on tho special train. The "push" ar rived in Omaha about 10:150. and tho inhabitants of that village wore immediately apprised of tho exist ence of the state university. Tho boys formed in column of tours and marched direct to tho Millard hotel, yelling and singing all tho way Many a third-story window was raised and faces peeped out with wonder and admiration depicted thereon. When tho hotel was reached tho boys joined in lock step and marched in a circle around the rotunda' singing and whistling tho "We've 13een Thinking" tune. At the end of eacji verso each one sat down upon tho knees of the man behind him, and with the cir cle thus completed, the refrain was whistled. It was a novel and curi ous sight, and called forth many complimentary and otherwise re marks from the gaping spectators. The lice building was tho next point attacked. On the way there a brass band was met standing at the corner of Kith and Douglas streets, its members were com posed of little colored boys, while a man standing in the middle car ried a huge sign, advertising a ten cent turkey dinner. Before tho wondering little darkies quite un derstood what happened, they found themselves surrounded by a string of boys, sitting down upon cadi other, and marching around them alternately. Wondering they dropped their instruments and open-mouthed, gazed at the mov ing humanity surrounding them. When the "little tune" was fin ished, the boys proceeded on their journey, leaving the little colored band to recover themselves. The march around the open court in the IJoc building brought out every inhabitant of the block Tl,cy stood around the corridors looking down upon the queer per formance that was going on below, and when it wis finished applauded liberally. Once more outside and the ubiquitous photographer got a shot at tho boys sitting down in the circle that attracted ao much attention. Hero tho crowd broke up, but met again at 2 o'clock and marched out to tho grounds. Tho morning's performance was a great factor in drawing a crowd to the game, and at the close of the first half there was an audience of 4,000 to watcii tho marchings and antics of the Lincoln contingent. The same crowd stayed together ' throughout the game and did some excellent and systematized cheer ing. After the game it was this sumo crowd which seized the play ers and carried them clear down to tho Omaha Y. M. C. A. building a distance of a mile and a half. Of course tho victors persisted in walking part of the way. .lust why there was not a coach at hand in which tho team could ride back, has not yet boon satis factorily explained. It was a big oversight on Crawford's part, and causeil many uncomplimentary re marks to be directed at him. When tho news was received in tho evening that Missouri was beaten, tho boys wont wild, for it meant that Nebraska really did have the pennant, despite the game we lost to Missouri. All of them that had a voice left, or a piece of one, yelled themselves inside out, in their exultation. All who had ihe "price" attended the theatre that evening. Tho players were ready for them, and all wore tho university colors. Lhe 'prima dona" appearing in a fascinating scarlet and cream dross. Tho uni yell, given by tho actors and the appearance of .Jimmy Carroll, in an Iowa sweater, after ho had been bunged up in a prize light, wore incidents which called forth the heartiest applause from the oc cupants of the bald-headed row. When tho "gang" left on the 1 1:30 special for home they were a little weary and worn, hut each one wore a broad smile and a look which said, "Well, we've won tho pennant if wo do look tough." Elected a Captain. At a meeting of the foot ball team Tuesday morning tho election of a captain was held, at which seventeen were present. Flippin and Humming were tho candidates, but Flip won by a majority of one, the vote standing eight to seven in his favor. It is understood that this is tho vay they voted: HAMMING. FMl'IMN. Fair, Dern, Whipple, Wilson, Oury, Shuo, Wiggins, Sweeney, Yont, Frank, Spoonor, Dungan, Hradt. Thorp, .Jones. Notes on the Game. Hamming made a beautiful tackle in tho first half which prob ably saved a touch down. Con verso had broken through and had a clear field before him when he was downed. The following unique yell made huge rents in the air whenever the Omaha Medical College students were particularly pleased with the game last Thursday: " Iluro wo uro tho O. M. C.'s Wo'ro tho boys that Haw tho bonos, All wo waul ih bonus to saw, liiihl ltuh! Huh!" Crawford realized about ."500 from tho game after all tho ex penses of the team had been paid. This, with what he got from tho Doano game, was to bo his salary for the season's work, and every stu lent can feel that he got as much as was due him. Everyone thought there was a chance to shut Iowa out. but no one dared to hope for such a score as 80 to 0. The Acjis of Wisconsin Univer sity appears iij a fine new gown.

THAT SENIOR SCRAP A Band of Juniors Try to Broak Up tho Reception. SEVERAL MEMBERS KIDNAPPED Class Spirit Stirred Up as Novor Bof jre The Confllot LortR and Bitter. Ever since tho wrangling and hair-cutting contests of tho fresh men and props last year, class spirit has been comparatively quiet. It has only been slumbering, how ever. Monday evening, tho k20lh, tho juniors, aching to avenge the kidnapping of some of their mem bers and tho disturbing of their re ception two years ago, determined to visit, the senior reception that ovontnjr. Tho senior boys, in order to have a suitable place for presenting the ehancellor one of those famous canes, secured tho now Conserva tory of Music and invited the ladies of tho class to be present. Ar rangements were made for a very pleasant time. Unfortunately tho whole affair was given away. Faint rumors wore heard Monday to the effect that tho juniors would be out that evening. Nothing unus ual occurred during tho day, but tho seniors wore very careful in going from supper to their rooms, and hurriedly dressed and departed for their ladies. Tho juniors made no active preparations until after supper, when they determined to kidnap the president and several prominent members of tho class. Had carefully prepared plans been laid by tho juniors, tlio whole meeting might luivo been broken up. Everything wont smoothly and every one of the seniors reached tho conservatory safely. Tho first suspicious occurrence was the sud den going out of the lights. Ev erybody shouted "Tho juniors!" It was a false alarm, for a fuse had burned out and was soon replaced. Meanwhile President Lyon, do siring some articles ho hail forgot ton, proceeded cautiously to a room about a block away. The articles were procured but a stealthy junior had notice I tho president and had summoned his clan. From all sides they swarmed in and completely surrounded the president. With Flippin wrapped around one side, J'radt holding the other, and an immense throng act ing as bodyguard and skirmishers, the prisoner was coducled to the front of the main hall. Tho scouts then brought in word that two worthy seniors and their canes were cornered in the reading room. Fearing that a rescue party would sally out and rescue tho president, ho was hustled out of the campus under heavy guard and taken to a gloomy dungeon on Q street, reached only by a steep, narrow flight of stairs and secured by a doublo-boltod door. This was made the headquarters of the juniors for tho evening. The two seniors loft in tho li brary were quick to see that thoy could do nothing against a howling mob of from fifty to 'seventy-five juniors, clamoring for their blood, with odds of lliivo to one or oven six to one, probably a determined fight would huvo been mado to es cape. But thirty to one Avero too great odds for oven a senior to hope to struggle against. Accordingly tlio imprisoned seniors determined to resort to strategy. While Obor lies engaged tho juniors in tho li brary, Hildroth, with tho aid of "Cap," fought his way through tho mob, got into tho office, and to the telephone. In u very short lime tho dazed juniors rubbed their eyes in amazement as thoy stared upon two poworfi)! policemen and realized that theV had been out witted. Tho seniors had reckoned well. In estimating that ono po liceman was equivalent to thirty live juniors, thoy had shown fore sight, and without further trouble were escorted over to tho conserva tory by tlftj officers. Tho juniors gave a few feeble, half-hearted ef forts, but had not tho necceessary ratio of thirty-six juniors to ono "copper" to effect tho capture. Meanwhile tho seniors, despite the confusion on tho ouUido, wore enjoying themselves and wore soon called to order by Secretary For sythe, in the absence of the presi dent. lie introduced Mr. Martin, who, in a neat speech, presented tho chancellor with a cane. Tho ehancellor replied in an appropri ate speech, thanking the class for tho honor conferred upon him. Tho presentation over, tho mem bers ofthe class scattered, sonic to the dining room for dancing, somo to cards, and tho remainder to games. Tho juniors, not content with kidnapping and yelling around outside, determined to got away with tho hats, overcoats, and canes of their enemies. Through the treachery of one of tho juniors who had charge of the keys of tho huiuiing, and who had promised faithfully to remain neutral, tho mob was let into the building and the hats and overcoats secured. These were hurriedly carried to the house of an old lady near by. She thought tho boys were bring ing in a 'V.ill'" and was nearly frightened out of her wits. Bare headed she rushed down to the po lice station with tho news of her discovery. The coats wore taken to the station by the oflicors, where they were identified later on in tho evening by the seniors. Later in the evening the control of the "assault" got out of the hands of tho conservative members of 'UO, and was carried on in a very un genllemanly manner by the hot headed ones. They broke into tho building, scattered ashes on the Hour und stopped tho dancing. Ilaughloii was hustled out of tho window and rushed off to tho dun geon to join the other prisoners. The scenes in tho parlors wore very disgraceful. The juniors pushed in and were determined to participate in tho party. Jn the scrap which ensued, furniture was broken, ties cut, clothes torn, an I Furgusoii lost his hair. Even Flippin was handled like a baby by tho infuriated eoniors. When finally tho juniors were expelled from the building, they plotted to waylay their opponents on tho road home. How Hoagland got away, and where he slept will never be known. Forsytho was very fortunate in reaching his room about fivo min utes after an ungry crowd of jun iors hud become tired of waiting for him any longer The wit and good judgment of the juniors during the early part of the evening may be admired. But their con duct in the buil ing, in the pres ence of ladies, was ungentlonianly and deserves the most severe criti cism. Tho event will bo long remembered by those who partici pated in it and will go down in history as ono of tho fiercest "scraps" over witnessed in the university. The Juniors, however, have apol ogized for their roughness an I paid for any damages that was done. How It Originated.

Tho Now "Sorority" at Last "Comes Out.", For many months universiry cir cles have looked longingly toward tho addition of a now girl's frater nity. These hopes have now been realized by the appearance last Friday of the Kappa chapter of tho Delta Delta Delta fraternity. This fraternity it ono of tho best in the country, and has chapters in nearly all the leading colleges. Wo aro glad to welcome Tri-Dollu to the university. Friday morning tho prospective Tri-Deltas went to Ashland, so as to bo uninterrupted in tho perform ance of their mystic rites. The home of Dr. von Munsfoldo was prepared to receive them, and tho girls swarmed in and took posses sion. The largo house and exten sive grounds afforded ample room for the initiation, even of the twelve. Miss Lora M. Allen, of Simpson College, Indianola, Iowa, was present to administer the oath, and to see that all was carried on properly. Daylight was excluded and the house brilliantly lighted. The de corations of roses, chrysanthemums and pines wore tastefully arranged, and ropes of smilax twined about the chandeliers and window frames. Tho silver, gold, and blue of the fraternity, and the scarlet and cream of tho university woro blended in the colors of the flowers. Thoro were pines in prolusion, this tree boiiig ono of tho fraternity symbols. IVfTss Muir and Miss Frankish were initialed first, and then helped to make life burdensome to the rost of tlio girls. A few "ell'eets will servo to suggest tho uwfulncss of what followed. Dr. von Mms foldo was frightened from his homo by the wiord singing, strange knockings, and howls of anguish.
