On tho kick off Nebraska brought tho ball nearly to tho mlddlo, whoro it was lost on a fumblo. It was picked up by Toonioy, who started for a touchdown, lie had a clear Hold boforo him but was outiun and brought down by Hay ward within tho five yard lino. Hero tho referee gavo Denver four downs, in whicn thoy mado a touch, down. They were held within six inches of the lino for three downs, but despite vigorous kicking, tho referee gao them another trial anil they pushed it over. An easy goal was mussed. Time 25 minutes.

Toonioy and Ilellor, Nebraska's old enemies of Baker and Ottawa fame, for tho third time canio to griaf at our bands. l Bud Jones was always good for the five yards gain and when other plays failed ho took tho ball us a last resoit. Denver was very confident of win ning the game, judging from our do foat at Butte. One man was beard to remark that ho did not think Denver would run np a score of ovor thirty Packard put up a still' gamo and loft end was not. noticeably weakened by IboHubHtlluUon. Tim Denver gamo was froo from Hlngglng. Our western friend learned this kind of a game did not pay two years ago, THD HASTINGS QAMO. hast, Friday tho second cloven played tlio Hustings athletic team on their groundsill Hustings. AtthooloRo of tho game the score stood, Hustings II, Nebraska . Tho boys relumed Saturday morning ami were anything hut downcast over their defeat. Thoy had many ways to account for It. Tho most prominent was "too much .Johnson." Tim gamo was called at il;!10, Hast ings winning tlio toss and choosing tho norih goal. A strong wind was blow ing straight down tho Hold, giving one side nil the advantage. For mom than twenty minutes Ne braska kept tho bull in Hastings' terri tory and i.o points wore mado by either side. At this time a serious fumblo was mado by Hastings and Camoron securing the hall went through for a touchdown. It was u pretty pick .ip,a f-ilr run, and a legal play, but tho um pire did not see it that way and the ball was brought back. This was tho only lime Nebraska took the ball over the lino. They continued, however, for some minutes longer to stop Hast ings' advances, and kept the ball from moving dangerously near their goal. Hut a few minutes now remained of the Hist half when Hroulotto. Hastings' lefl half was disabled and .lolmson, tho big 'un, was taken out of tho center to play his position. This was tho turn ing point of tho game ami from then on Hastings located in Nebraska's ter ritory and mado touchdowns at their leasure. It seemed impossible for the Ne braska men to stop the rushes of this giant, .Johnson. Tne Hastings line was heavy and tho other two backs were well built men, but tho superior playing of the uuiversiy boys overcame these difficulties. When Johnson came at the Hue, however, pulling like a loeo motlvo on an up grade, It was merely a matter of how soon he could be slopped. Ho was bound to gain. Unjust decisions of tho umpire took tho ball from Nebraska several times when good gains were being made Tho game was slow and uninteresting, as may be seen from tho fact that Hastings held tho ball nearly all the time and mado only three touch downs. One of these was mado in tho last live minutes of thu first half and the other two in tho second half. Tho Nebraska boys all played a plucky game against odds thnt were dangerous to monkey with. Cameron did some especially gritty tackling and savjd many yards for Nebraska. No one was seriously hurt, though many of tho boys bear marks of violent con tact with Hastings real estate. Tho lineup was as follows: McKay r o Iloilot llootho r t Nellis I'ollard rg Garvor Humphrey c. .Johnson, Parker Kiudlor I g Carruthers Sargent It Finloy Bowman-Hliss. . . . 1 o Dungan Spooner q Phelps Oury 1 b Biouletlo,Johiis'n Cameron r h Holier Phillips f Barnett Umpire: Will Wigton.

Tho meet ing was called to hear reports of tho two committees appointed at tho last meeting. Tho report of tho reception committee was adopted and tho recep tion to tho Chancellor will bo hold about tho 80th of loxt mouth in tho conservatory parlors. Tho insignia committee reported in favor of caps and gowns, but this was rejected. Threo more members were added to this committee, which was in structed to find somothlng olso to dis tinguish them from tho common herd. THEY ASK A CHANGE SOME COMPLAINTS RAISED Members Are or the Faculty Kun In a Slip. 3 ay Athletic AITalm oil nnd Un- Ininlnena.Mko Manner. From the opinion heard expressed by members of tho faculty tliero will be a general tinning over In athletic affairs. Some of the professors avo very much dlttplouscd with tin Way things avo managed. In tholv opinion llioro Is no business method about anything. Tho managers of tho various learns have lull swav over tho exchequer. Thero Is no auditing committee, expenses are contracted and money paid out with out accounting to anybody. Money Is collected In tho same way, nobody given any credit, no record kept of it, and whether tho collector has any au thority for doing it jio one knows. These things. must be changed, thoy say, and think tho initial step must be taken by themselves. This state of things' seems true to u largo extent, but It is extremely doubt Tul whether any money has been col lected or spent which cannot bo legiti mately accounted for. Such matters arc run in rather a slip shod manner and sumo change to more business-like methods would bo very acceptable to all concerned. OMAHA CLUB RECEPTION. Tho old members of the Omaha Club will receive tho now members who en tered tho University this year, in the parlors of Van Denburg, the O street caterer, Friday evening, Oct. 25, at 8:!l0.

Tho debating association held a meeting in Union hall last Wednesday afternoon to consider whether an amendment should bo addrd to the constitution debarring any person who had won a previous contest from en tering tho debates any year after. It was nearly 2 o'clock before a quo rum was present and then a lively ses sion ensued. Tho motion was brought befors the house, and during the courso of tho remarks soveral gentlemen be came very heated Ono faction claimed that certain persons bad no right to voto becuuso thoy bad not signed tho constitution, and tho other faction claimed that certain other per sons bad no right to vote because they had not paid their dues. Tho chair finally ruled that owing to tlio fact that none of the members had signed tho constitution, tho proceed ings up to this point wore entirely out of ordor and all action was null and void. At this point MoNeal and his crowd loft tho room. Thoy returned, how ever, and then a fight nearly ensued. A compromise was soon effected by those presout signing tho constitution, and tho meeting was called to ordor again. Tho amendment was put bo foro tho houso, sovon voting for and four against it. As tho motion re quired a two-thirds voto in ordor to carry, it was declared lost. THE GREEKS ACTIVE. Beta Theta Pi initiated J. 11. Bulks of Beatrice, D. F. Burks of Fairbury and M. A.

Phi Kappa Psl will give a reception lo Ihelr friends tonight ul tho chapter house. A BOPH-HnHOH SOCIAL. Tho freshman class infil again tho IHth lo consider tho proposed reception. Everybody wanted tho reception, hut nearly all tho alteruoon was spent in discussion. All tried to do tho business according lo parliamentary rules, but each one dlH'oicd us lo what purllu hienluiy rules demanded. A division was called for after each vole, a point of order raised at. every opportunity, and us toon as the chair had decided the point of order, and appeal would bo taken. Several good long speeches were made, some sarcasm used, and several talks heartily applauded. Mr. Fullmer pieslded In a way that would rival a Chinch Howe. Finally it was decided to huvo tho reception in Uio parlors of tho I'nivoisity Consul vntory and tho following committee was authorized to oo-oporato with tlio Sophs and make all lurangumeiils: F. It. Brown, Minnie Clumouls, Winifred Nicholsen, H. D. Montgomery, and Annie Voro. DANJO CLUD ORGANIZED. Tho ilaujo Club was tho first miuio club to got down to work this year and their early start is already bringing forth llattering results. A thorough organization of the players is porlecteil. Others huvo not yet been elected. R. Thorp, Jr., Is manager yet and is do voting a largo part of his limo to it and to imparting enthusiasm to tho players.

Hartigan and L. R. Packard, 2nd banjoes; J. B. Hecher, Foster Reach and Dave Bulks, guitar. Lust year tho other clubs were very envious ot the perfect management and organization uud the excellent in dividual work of tho members, and from tho start they have made this year it looks as If the same would bu re peated.

Bixler was in school hero last year and was recognized us a student of unusual ability. His gentlemanly bearing mado him many warm friends wlio will mourn his death. His home was at Iloyt, la.

WANTED THE EARTH DOANE'S TERMS DO NOT GO Would Make It a FlRlit IJverythlnR Ornnted, Hut We Drew the Line nt Killing Itaeh Other, Thu Doiiiio munugonioiit mudo usu visit In reference lo a game with that Institution Wednesday. Thoy canio on a high horse and said thoy would concede nothing. uuld not play In Lincoln or Omaha and would only play in Crete, to which wo conceded In the hope of making a gamo. Thoy would only pay $" for tho game, to which wo conceded in the hope ol u game, Would not let the coach play, to which we consented, because wo did not need lo huvo him to win. Would name their own day, November II), or threo days after our hard Kansas gamo, to which wo consented. Insisted on play ing Mains, who is postmaster in tho town nnd takes no work in college, and wo gavo In lo thai, and it looked ax If we would force them into a game, much as thoy disliked it, but Mains had a btroug card up his sleeve. Ho would play by no other rules except thos.i of lust year, which allow tho rough dying wedge and mass plays and which have been decided by all to bo too rough. Wo would huvo consented to this, along with our other concessions were it not for the I act that wo play under tho now rules in our league, and as thai game would come right in tlio midst of our chunlpionship season, only threo days alter the Kansas game, when no time would be had lo develop tho different interference nnd spoil our own interference for tho Iowa game which follows so" shortly ulterwards. Wo could not concede Wre it onrlt. in tho season and at the time when wo wanted to play them wo would have played under any rules they could de vise. Hut why wo should stop right in tlio midst of our inter-collegluto series and change our whole stylo of play to give a gamo to a one-horse fcchool like Doano is nioro than wo can see. They will say: "We beat you last year." Yes, so did the Michigan .Military Academy tie Michigan in tho first part of tho year and so did Doano beat Iowa and Grlnncll, but how did she doitV By getting together a team of veterans and practicing all summer and then going against these othoi teams in tho first weok of their organ ization. And how did Doano beat Ne braska last year? By playing her coach in a gam when the Nebraska team had only been organized for u week and a half. Hut Doano has a good manager and ho writes well for the newspapers and ho will probably spread himself to explain those things which ho knows are true. WANTED--ENTHUSIASM. The interest displayed by the girls of tho University in matters athletic is something remarkable. On Wednes day afternoon, the 28rd of October, threo fair co-eds dared to view tho foot ball practice from tho west steps of the main building. Such interest is smelv appreciated by tho captain and team, but why can't tho young ladles take u little nioro interest and at least know who It is who works so hard to give tho University a good team. This interest by tho faculty and students, ladies as well as gentlemen, is what makes a winning team. Doano had nil her available men on tho team, so that it was loft to the prosidontaud tho ladles to furnish thu enthusiasm, and this as much as anything elso is what makes the nion work. It makes all these smaller colleges, as baker, Grinnoll and Doano win, and why can't wo huvo a little of itt If tho ladles will show an inclination t' como out to practice tho management will gladly furnish them with roservod seats.
