Yes, It U true. Nebraska did not win
tho pennant, but she enn feel proud of
tho showing her team made, In the face
of the greatest Vllllleultlo. Iowa had their
whole team hack, wth the exception of
otio man In tho line. Yet Nebraska tied
the score against them In the Thanksgiv
ing mime. Our team Hail to do tnmio.
When Coach Iiohlnsoii came to tho uni
versity, ho did not have n team to coach
as Hull did when ho went to Iowa. Yet
at the close of the season. Nebraska un
doubtedly had the strongest team In the
league.
As a whole, the Iowa team Is a unit lit
declarng that they will not play football
again at Columbia. MNoiirl. They snv
that the shameful treatment accorded
them the last time they played there, was
too much for thorn. Unless Missouri apo'.
oglzea for her conduct during tho Iowa
game. It Is understood that she will not
have to formally withdraw to create u
vacancy In the Western Interstate league.
Missouri Indeed owe. an nology to the
general public and to the members of the
league especially. Tho dolegutes to the an
nual league meeting, should see that this
Is done.
The plan of work outlined by the stu
dents and faculty foi the college settle
ment promises to be fruitful. Tho work
started last year and It has proven to be
a worthy undertaking. Students can make
this work effective If they will co-opor-nte
heartily In carrying out tho plan pro
posed by the committee on organization.
It Is certainly deserving of our thought
and belli. We can show our generosity
and sympathies in no nobler chum-. Now
Is the time to cultivate the bympathotlo
side of life. While we are In college let
us not only look after our honlthy growth
and development, but oxtend a helping
hand to those who are In need.
Nebraska his another thing to l proud
of. Tnai Is the scholarly standing of the
men who played on tho team this yenr.
It Is said that two or three of tho Kan
sas players, never went to recitations at
ill during- the footlMll reason, and if they
did. they fulled to carry tho equivalent
amount of work, that n player on the Ne
braska team has to. It Is not generally
known, but tho strict roguluions of the
lo.ird interfered with the chances of
some of the candidates for iKsltIons on
the llrst eleven. If Nebraska did fall to
win the pennant, she can say that she had
i te.im of scholars and gentlemen some
thing which our lonstful astern friends
claim, but which will not stand lnx-etlon.
The Nobraskan does not wish to have
any hand in university politics, yet we
think tliut the whole university Is with
us when we support the right half back
of our football team for tho honor of
-aptaln next season. If any one has evor
earned this honor. George Shedd has. and
If the members of tho two elevens who
have tho privilege for voting for the can
didate for this position, will oast their
votes consclenclously. It will result In the
unanimous choice of Mr. Shedd. For our
gentlemanly player who has olllclatod In
this capacity during the season Just closed
we have nothing but words of prnUe. Mr.
Thorie has gulned the esteem and lHt
wishes of every Interested man woman
or child about the university, by his mod
est bearing, his gentlemanly conduct, and
above all for his brilliant playing and
generalship. It would not be an unwise
suggestion. In our opinion. If some ex
pression of the students of this university
bo tendered Mr. Thorpe, for so ably per
forming the duties which were entrusted
to his care,
The batalllon l now in full uniform.
The cadet and officers present a neat and
dignified appearance. The manner of dis
tinguishing the officers from the private
cadets Is fitlng and heartily approved.
The battalllon Is to bo congratulated upon
getting down to regular drill so soon after
tho beginning of tho collego yeor. With
eo much earnestness for effective work
among tho cadets and tho efficiency of the
officers, who can doubt that the drill will
not be more thorough and better dlsipl'ned
this year tlian ever before. It the present
! standnrd U kept U throughout the col
lego year, and all slothfulii'ss among
Individual cndetB 1b nvolded, wo will bo
ublo to mako tho prlzo drill worthy of our
university. Homomber effiotlve drilling
cannot lo dono by tho officers alono. Tho
hoarty co-oporatlon of every oailet regard
less of rank Is necessary. Strict attention
to duty on tho port of nil, will bring forth
pralso and dosorvlng recognition from tho
general public.
Tho stato oratorical ussoolntton Is now
dealing with a financial problem. Tho
association has been In dobt for somo time
and tho presont officers aro going to make
desporato offorts to relieve It of this bur
don boforo tho beginning of the now year.
To bo sure, boforo uio association Is
abandoned every effort ought to bo made
to sottle the lltuinclul Indebtedness. As a
collego organization It would certainly lie
ItniKilltlc to fall to raise u sufllc'ont mm
from Dunne and tho state unlvorilty
to pay olT a debt of forty dollars. It was
of little trouble for the athletic ussoch
tlon to raise over n hundred dollars ,n
this university alone, and It would cot
tnlnly bo no serious tnsk to imy our share
of tho Indebtedness of the stato oratorical
association.
Tho l'xvil association has arranged for
a concert Friday evening In onlor to se
ouro all or a iwrtlon of tho fund necessnry.
Why should not tho students collectively
and Individually attend tho exercises?
Every one will get his money's vorth bo
sldes contributing to an obllgoilon that
must bo met. Wo all quite ngrc that tho
state oratorical association Is nt accom
plishing tho work that Is desirable. And
there are good reasons to belltvo that It
is liettor for the university to withdraw
from the association and remain no longor
a party to such an Inefficient organization.
Hut however that may he, vc must do
our part In removing the shadow that Is
hovering over us as well as tho state as
sociation. We can not continue our mem
bership or withdraw honorably unless we
exert some effort to adjust tho financial
dlfllcultles which have arisen during our
connection with the Hssoclation. Iet us
not bo negligent of our duty. Lot us
throw nnldo all prejudices and meet a Just
obligation as a student Iiody.
tanee to you, we nk you Individually and
collectively to keep your registration cor
rected tip to date, that we may find you
ipilrkly In case of emergency,

THE MIUHOH.
In an nnutunt hall a mirror stood
Its oakon frame Inlaid with gold,
And hack of It the tapestries hung
In silken picture, fold on fold,
on either sldo as If to guard
A suit of armor grimly stood,
And hero and there tho plates wore red
With rust, tho marks of human blood,
One day In spring a merry child
Crept up and peeped within tho glass,
Sho laughed, and etled aloud to sco
Herself, the dimpled, laughing loss.
Again In after years tho glass
Gave back another winsome sight,
Tho samo bright face with bridal voll
And wedding robes of shimmering whlto.
And yut oneo more as years wont by
A woman wnn, and old, and grey,
Peered In tho mirror iind behold
I lor youth and beauty passed away.
And now against the tapestried wall
A skeleton grins before the glnss,
Its hollow orbless eyes once held
The sparkling oyes of tho laughing lass.

The senior class Is now engaged with
tho momontus question of selecting their
commencement orator. The class wishes
to adhere to tho time honored custom of
being allowed a voice In ijhooslg their
speaker. Is It an unjust or unwlso re
quest? Commencement oxerclses are es
sentially in honor of tho senior class. Aro
tho seniors to becomo more observers In
this matter or may thoy have an active
part as usual In arranging tho exercises?
The commencement orator was originally
selected to take tho place of tho practice
of having Individual seniors glvo orations,
read essays and the like. Hence It natu-
i rally followed that they should lie allowed
to exptvss their Judgment in selecting the
orator. The seniors do not Insist that
thuy should 1k given absolute control of
this matter. They will gladly co-oporato
with the university authorities. But when I
they are to be practically Ignored tho I
question Is wisely anil projierly asked,
what has called forth the change from the
usual practice. To lie sure the seniors will
not lot their better Judgment fall them In
co-operating with tho authorities In a wise
and amicable selection of the orator.
Every loyal student wishes to see that the
university Is credibly represented on com
mencement day. This lofty desire Is on
tortnlned by all. Why not ontertnln sug
gestions from the class? The advisability
of Ignoring the graduating class in this
matter Is not a question of iollcy but ono
of principle. The good Judgment of tho
lioartl of regents Is admlted by all. And
their co-ojK)ratlnn with tho senior class
would not hinder lu pursuing a wise pol
icy as woll as giving the class representa
tion In a mutter In which they are m.i
tlinekeeper. Keller.

Into the city for a few months their friends

Many a time friends have searched In
wild for student, here, and many a time
a telegram however urgent, could not bo

far the university is under obligation to
search for students who carelessly neg

Into their heads that they could beat tho

ager Otiry scheduled the game because he
thought our team needed some practice in
offensive playing before the game Thurs
day. He must have been satisfied, as
Nebraska had iKWosslon of tho lull mo-u
of tho time. Nebraska played several sub
stitutes, to practice the boys up lu case
they should be needed for the I own gnmo.
Cowgll played in Thorpe's position as full
back on defensive play, and quarter on
the offensive. He also acted as Held cap
tain. In tho llrst hair Nebraska easily rushed
tho ball down the Hold for touchdowns In
rapid succession. Four were made during
the llrst half, from which Cowgll kicked
three easy goals. Wesleyan took a braeo
