Missouri's Position.
ncss of Clio meeting was ealletnipby
Mr. Whlto or Nobraska by motion to
adjust tho expenses of umpires,
referees, etc., for tho pnst Benson. It
was carried and tho oxponses pro-rated
among tho four stntes. Missouri thon
presented a bill of $55 against Ne
braska jus balance unpaid by the
Omaha university club on expenses in
Hie Missouri-Nebraska game of
November 2. Mr. Whlto objected to
Missouri's looking to Nobraskn for tho
balance, Inasmuch ns tho expenses of
both teams woro to bo paid by tho
Omaha university club, and offered a
resolution which was seconded by
lowu, that tho Omaha unlvorstty club
be required to scttlo with Missouri ns
per agreement. Tho resolution was
unnnlmously carried.
Nobraskn'8 protest on the Kansas
Nebraska gamo wis noL called up ns
most of tho football authorities of tho
oast wore against Nebraska's Interpre
tation of rule SO of the Yalo-Prlncoton
rules, that but ono end rusher could
play back of tho lino at a tlmo. Iowa
.md Nobraska both played but ono 'end'
back of the lino at a tlmo and this

name. In tho Nobmska-Knnsas gamo
Kansas playod both 'ends' back of tlio
lino from tho start and was objected to
by Captain Wilson of Nebraska. Tho
umplro sustained Kansas' position and
it was on this ground that Nebraska
filed hor protest. Missouri and Iowa
both had protosts against Kansas, but
they woro not presontod, whoroupon
tlio ponnant, Which is a beautiful silvor
nip, was awarded to Kansas, with No
braska as second place.
Tho schedule was noxt arranged and
is to bo found bolow.
Missouri thon presented her protest
against tho Missouri-Nebraska gamo
on the ground that ahe had had no
voice in tho selection of either umplro
or referee In that gamo, sustaining her
position byttho production of tho corre
spondence 'between Manager Cory of
Missouri and Manager Sheldon of No
braska, and claiming that Manager
Sholdon had been unfair and alBo neg
lectful t us duties whloh devolvod

whloh ho stated the present favorable
condition of things for good records JiJ

tho unlvorslty as a wholo was taklnd.
In tho subject of athletics. It Is not at
all unlikely that If a good athlotlc team
can bo formed and aotno good records
mndo at our own held day that tliq unl
vorslty of Nebraska can bo represented
in tho meeting of western colleges In
Chicago later in the spring.
Aftor Dr. Ward's remarks tho lights
woro turned out and ovor fifty athlotlc
slides exhibited. Flrs'lcamoBonic copies
of engravings from an ancient boqk of
athlotlcs published In 1G72. In 'con
nection with thoso, which illustrated
some forms of Greek athletics, the
Greek gamos and pontathlon wore
spoken of.
About fourteen slldos Illustrated dif

all exorcises, polo vaulting. Somo
showed poor form, othors good, Ono
fine ono showed a Harvard student ovor
tho bar at ten foot. Thon followoil Illus

Klidos illustrated hurdling In a very of
foctlvo way, nlso positions in the

On tho whole tho opening wns a very
successful ono.
ATHLETIC GYMNASIUM CLASSES.
Tho matter of deciding upon hours
for athletic practice in tho gymnasium
Is a difficult ono as all poriods seem
full. Thoro aro (two short periods,
which can run regularly through the
week ono or tho other of whloh will
probably lilt most mon who dosiro to
got regular training. Those poriods
aro 12:15 to 12:45 and IJ to 0:30. Some
ovening hour can probably bo arrangod
for special praotlco. This is tho tlmo
for thoso who aro interested in ath
lotlcs to show their Interest by register
ing in tho gymnasium, for ono or both
of thoso hours. All tlio necessary ex
pense that will bo involved will bo for
a pair of gymnasium shoes. Good
shoos can bo obtained at tho Sandor-son-Davls
store for So cents. Classes
will bogln on tlmo and close on time
and a good deal enn be accomplished
in a half an hour. Do not fall to join
a class. R. a. C.
THE GLEE CLU1J SERENADE.
Wednesday night a crowd of boys
met -Jn tho chapel to start out for n
serenading tour. Although it Is not
exactly tlio tlmo of year whon sere
nades aro supposed to grow in abund
ance, yet the night was mild and pleas
ant enough tc make outdoor singing
enjoyable. The boys were all mou
singing on tho gleo club this year or
some previous year so it did not take
muoh tilmo to got a dozon or moro songs
dn shapo. To say thoy had a glorious
tlmo would bo putting It mildly, Judg
ing from all accounts, and as each fol
low gives a different story 4t Is rattier
hard to furnish a wnoot.li nnrrntlvo.
About tho third houso thoy struck wns
dnrk, but a reil-hondod servant sltiolc
hor bond out of tlio third story window
so tlio boys stopped and gavo hor a
song, nnywny. At ono of tho numer
ous houses tho occupants onmo out and
sat on tlio porch to onjoy tho concert
and woro so nppreolatlvo Hint tho fol
lows sung ovory song In tholr ropor
tolro. At nnothor plnco thoy serenaded
a girl who lived 1n ono of a row of ter
races and one of tho sorenadors swears
that every blamed window In tho ter
raco wns oponod boforo thoy finished
tholr first number, Thoy nlso struoU
Captain Gullfoylo and tho chancellor's.
At the latter placo thoy woro takon Ji
and glvon refreshments, About 12
o'clock thoy finished their Itlnornrj
and wont Into Don Cnmoron's to talk
It ovor. Aftor a groat deal of llgur.lnL'
thoy decided that thoy had walkcil
four miles and a half, sung, at ono plnco
or another, all of firteon songs, oaten
twonty-olght doughnuts, split fourteen
throats and soronnded forty-three
girls, lo say nothing of tho numorou
domostlcs.

nade are well undor way, and '07 prom

junior-senior law ombrogllo settled,
and each mom hor of tho committee
working with a will to seo that tho
ovont Is a success.
Wednesday, February 12, Is the date
that has boon sot. This brings this
ovont the first In tho series of tho chnr-tor-day
occasions. Tho tickets have
already boon Issued and tho numbor

and patronossos have not yet been
selected, but all minor details aro be
ing oared for ns rapidly as possible.
Everything calculated to insure the
financial succoss of tho project is being

THE CAUSE OF IT.
A decided explosion shook Lincoln
until sho rattled last Friday night. A
satisfactory reason for tho noise has
not yot boon given. Professor Barbour
adhoros to tlio bollof that It was a
meteorite and porslsts in keeping his
oyos flxod upon tho ground in tho hope
of saving tho pieces.
A. J. Woavor was roposlng peace
fully at Falls City and denies tho alle
gation that ho was making a political
speech at 'tho tlmo.
Professor Fosslor's wheel is still In
tact, and ho could not have fallon
therefrom.
Culver remains in good physical
condition which does not gtvo evidence
that ho fell from tho roof of Nobraska
hall.
Missouri withdrew from the football
loaguo about that time, but close in
vestigation falls to make the two
ovonts simultaneous.
Tho whoroabouts of tho "Dean" at
that hour woro unknown. Ills rota
tion to ttio Incident consequently can
not bo doflndtoly traced.
Tho only romalnlng possibility which
could causo such a commotion is tlio
fact that McMal dropped "something"
heavy and cumbersome about that
time.
You will find good warm undorwear
at tho vory lowest prices at the Ewlng
Clothing Co., 1115-1117 O street.
Burlington's personally conducted
excursions to Utah and California. A
Pullman tourist sleeping car will leave
