As wsts anticipated Missouri would consent to no pooling ol the .thanksgiving games. Oi course ll is very natural mat Kansas and Missouri should not wish to pool lor . i' gide receipts ill Kansas City, as they iire very much larger ilian ihe leceipls ol Iowa and .Nebraska at Omaha, the league should by all means not be broken up lor such a minor consideration. JSo general manager was elected lor the ensuing year as no one eoulu be agreed upon. This ques tion will be seined later. An umaha man win probably bo selected. ihe schedule for next year was arranged as loilows: I iNebraskii vs. lissouri at Omaha. 1 Iowa vs. Kansas at Law- .Nov. '2 l ronce.

It will readily bo beon that this schedule is very favorable to Ne braska. We have the game with Kansas on our own grounds and tho Missouri game at Omalm, prac tically our own grounds. J ho Thanksgiving game with Iowa will bo at Omaha as before. o play all our league games in this state. Our team will not have to make a long trip just previous to ti game. Missouri must bo k 'swiped" this time. TO-DAY'S ELECTION. It Promlsos to bo Dockloclly Interesting. Tho prospect for ono of tho licreesl contests between tho barbs and frat.s that the univorsity has enjoyed for soino time is very bright for this afternoon at 1 o'olook. At this important hour tho election of officers and dele gates of tho local Oratorical asso ciation is to bo hold. Both sides are working hard, tho frats loss openly, but nevertheless as ener getically iis their opponents. Yesterday afternoon both tho Palladian and Union liloary socie ties held caucuses and detoriiiinod upon ii ticket to be put in tho Hold. Tho officers to bo elected are: pres ident, vice president, secretary and treasurer besides four delegates to tho slide convention. The Stale association is com posed of the University, Doano, Cotnor ami 'Yosloyan colleges. This year tho election of a secre tary lor the Slide association falls lo the University. Fach delegation from the four col leges has one vote, ami with that of the presi dent's of tho association, live votes iire possible for the secre tary. Tho will of the majority ol each delegation decides for which man that delegation will vole, the president having the deciding vote, i'lius the result of today's election will decide but one of the live votes to be cast for the secretary. It is understood that the two the Held: Barbs For president, Jl. E. .New branch; vice president, J. T Corey; secretary and treasurer, li). Flmoro; delegidos, AV. 11. Forsyth, Katharine Moliok, C.

Ilaughton, Bert Kim bid 1. It is impossible to tell from present indications, which ticket has the best support. The inter est arou&cd will probably draw, quite an attendance which will not twenty-live cents a head for the Association. Artist's Recital Program.

Las! .June, bnforo admiring thouands(), Company "IV swept up the Held of tho competitive drills amid deafening applause, an easy winner. The Omaha cup, that beautiful trophy won by Company "A" in Omaha in 1 , was theirs. They had scored higher than any company had ever done. In other wonts they were right "in it". '1 hat night the company ate ice cream on Dixon the gallant captain. They smoked the peace pipo (doe Beardless) around tho big boulder; they yelled: they went wild; they had spasms (ol joy). And ihe other cadet stood around in a da.o and stared en viously ill Co. 'U" Company "1'' also won the ar tillery guidon. This year there were promoted from Co. "IV two captains and two lirst ser geants, showing what the victory meant to tho individuals. And so the members of this year's company have decided to celebrate by giving a military mti uJ this semester. il w,.n lwy "' on .1' riday evening, F'rbruary 1, and it prom lses lo be a very swell allair.

For some unaccountable reason the plan for holdinga military hop which tho 'Varsity Killes cherished for a few sweet moments has fallen through. It was announced last Wednesday thjit hereafter there would be in spection of one company every Monday night. The commandant hsis procured about 1UU copies of the now artillery tiictics, which Lieutenant Elliott hits for sale. The bond for 126 cadot rillesand accoutrements and for 4. brooch loading cannons has be m received by Mr. Dales jmd the articles men tioned will bo here soon. Mrs. Bryan will Speak. At the present time a now char ter for tho city of Lincoln is about to bo prosontoxl to the legislature. It is therefore opportune that tho political economy club of the State University has secured two ad dresses on municipal questions to bo given at its next meeting, Wed nesday, Jan., 2tf, sit 8 p. in., in room 8. The lir&t address will be by Mrs. W. J. Bryan on "Eilioi onoy of Municipal Government Abroad and at Homo." This will bo followed' by a paper by Miss Mary L. Jpnes on ''Corruption in City Government." All are in vited to attend. ini That Senior Hat covers a Multltwlo of ( HMC WHEELS. Tho Horticultural Exhibit. On last Tuesday afternoon the mooting of the Nebraska Horticul tural Society began its midwinter session in room 11, Nebraska Hall. Long tables wore built and plates by the hundred were soon displayed containing apples of every descrip tion, color and size. There wore yellow apples and red tipples and speckled apples. Apples that made one's mouth Wider to look at. In looking id the splendid exhibit one would never suppose that there had been a drouth in the stale. The tables looked like they had boon sot for a least to Pomona. Beauti ful palms lent it tropical appear ance to the place, and the lucioiis fruit was templing enough for the gods. Apple-hungry people crowded the exhibit, and it was only by posting up signs containing the legend, "Yield Not to Temptation" and like admonitions thill it was possible to retain tho exhibit. Some waggish student, with no fear of consequences in his soul, wrote lit tle signs, such iis "Take One," "Help Yourself," and put them on the templing plates of apples. Soon after these signs wont up the overcoat pockets of some ol the students bulged suspiciously when they left the room. 1 he sturdy farmers came with all their unsophisticated iiirs and discussed the weighty subject of the manner in which to raise the dill'erent sorts of apples, how to prevent blight and disease from destroying the trees, and other matters interesting only lo growers of fruit. A few ilowors wore on exhibition along with a largo collection of ptil ins. After ii prosperous and well attended session the meeting closed on Thursday night. The apples wore packed away and the tables dismantled, and tho exhibit was a thing of the past. AV.P.D. Historical Notes. Mr. Barrett has just received ii cane from John (i. Goss of Bollvue Nob. There is nothing specially noticeable about tho cane until its history is found out. It was carv ed from the wood of the old trad ing fort built at Bollvue in 1S10. Mr. Barrett thinks it a valuable addition to tho historical museum. Henry FouUinolle, a brother of Logan Foutanelle tho last chief of the Omaha Indians attended the meeting of tho Historical Society. Ho Wiis born in Nebraska in 1S81. Tho Old Way. Since Maud learned to skate the "old way" 1 have hoard the authorities say That, of course, it's all 'right But looks bettor at night Than in the broad light of the day. TO MAKE A REVISION Mooting of tho Athlotic Asso ciation Callod. TO CHANGE THE CONSTITUTION Objoottonablo Poniuros of liloctlnff 0rflcar8 to h clono Awny with Everybody Como. Thore will bo a mooting of tho athletic association Tuesday at 1 p. m. Tho object is to take somp no tion looking to si revision of the constitution. This matter has boon talked of for some time as ii great deal of clamor and grumbling has arisen at various stages in tho his tory of athletics in the U. of N. over the. election of ollieors for the 'various associations. Some plan to take away the power of the college politician is to he devised, and any one who has si plan is requested to make the same known. One. measure that hits been pro posed is to elect a hoard to consist of nine members, throe from thy students, three from the alumni and three from the faculty. This board is to have the say of "yes" or "no" to any action taken by tho association or any of its organiza tions, or in other words, nothing can bo legally done without its approval. These members arc to bo selected by a majority of the students present. Another plan is the adoption of the rules which wore published by the Nkiiuaskax ;is "suggestions" hist December. There are quite a number of them but al! will apply very littingly to tho condition ot athletics in tho Uni. Another importiint thing to be decided is a dido for tho field day exorcises, the appointment of com mittees, etc. It is thought every one can be present who will, id this hour, but thore is so much to be done, it is feared' that it will have to be protracted unless expediency is exercised. It has been suggest ed that many of these things should be considered before, so that iill will bo prepared tor what is coining. 1 bus no objectionable measure can be railroaded through. The Dramatic Club. Arrangements are being made by the manager of the Dramatic Club to present "Chums" and "The Open Ciiite" in Ashland about Jan. .',"), 1 S! .". The former is a rollick ing college farce, produced hist year by the Harvard Dramatic Club in Boston, over which the critics raved. The hitter is ono of Charles Prohman's popular curtain raisers. The aifair at Ashland will be un doubtedly a social sis well as a linancial success. It is to bo hoped that when the club appears bejore it Lincoln audi ence, the entire student body will turn out and give the club tho sup port to which it is justly entitled, as strictly a representative univer sity organization. Tho oflicors of tho Oigani.ation are: I. M. Bout ley, president; Maud Shaw, secretary; Mrs. Manning, director; Fred C. Cooloy, manager. The Banjo Club. Tho Univorsity has ait last a real banjo club. It is not a club of two or throe mandolins, a guitar, and a couple of banjos as was the club of last year, which callod itsolf n "banjo club,''' but it is composed of two banjoanrircs, live banjos, a pioillo banjo and two guitars. The men are all old players and their progress under Mr. Planque of the Conservatory has been truly remarkable. Tho glee club will have to look to its laurels in earn est, for the banjo boys intend to play second to no musical club in tho Uni. I,! ', .' I ' m tut 1 is t.
