Men registered for physical training who have not yet been to classes will bear in mind that they have already exhausted one-half of the absences allowed. Another week of absence will insure an incomplete for the semester. The stipulations governing the Triangular League in basket ball between Doane, Wesleyan and tho Uuivorsity are being signed. The organization will be known as tho Intcr-collegiato Basket Ball League for the state of Nebraska. All games will be played according to strict interpretation of rules and tho officials are to be strictly non-partisan. Each home team is to provide the expenses of the visiting team. The schedule of games is to begin in November of each year. Basket-ball is being practiced almost daily. New material is good. W. E. Andrcson is not satisfied with his work as guard and is practicing as forward Other forwards are Walker and Griffith. Moore, Yoder, Cortelyou and others are candidates for centre. R. D. Andreson will play his old posi tion as guard. There are many other strong candidates for guard. Lcmar will make a strong showing because of hio previous experience. There is a great need for men who will take tho trouble to become trained officials in basket-ball. These league games must have impartial and expert officials. They are needed, also, in the practice games in the University. Dr. Hastings says that wo need about six or eight men who do not play but will study to become officials. Dr. Hastings has sent out a circular letter to twentyfour high schools with a view to unifying the athletics of tho state. He calls the attention of the high schools to the fact that the University is very much interested in them since they act as feeders for the University athletics. Ho points out to ihem that by joint meets a vital interest in clean sports will bo stimulated and habits of self-control and good natured rivalry be iuculcated. He proposes tho appointment of Geo. 0. Shedd of the Lincoln high school, Nathan Bernstein of tho Omaha high school, and R. D. Ovcrholtz, superintendent of tho Ashland schools, to solicit information with reference to the best method of such an organization. Dr. Hastings ap prove? the plan of holding a high school meet in conjunction with the state inter-collegiate contest. Several high schools have already replied to the letter. University of Nebraska vs. Grinnell College. Tomorrow, October 29th, tho Uni. team will meet the pigtj skfn manipulators of Grinnell College, and do battlo on our University campus. This will bo Grinnell's first appearance on our grounds after an absence of several years. In 1894 wo defeated her, but in 1895, things were changed somowhat and Nebraska were doomed to defeat by tho score of 24 to 0. A short time ago Grinnell defeated Minnesota State Uni versity by a score of 16 to G, which goes a good ways to prove tho claim that Grinnell has tho strongost team in Iowa today. An eastern coach has been looking after the team since tho season began and with almost all of the old players back, Grinnell has had no difficulty in pushing herself forward as one of the strongest teams in tho west today. The students should bear in mind that tho oxponso of put ting on this game will bo quite heavy and hence it devolves upon each and every one to turn out tomorrow and assist the Athletic Board in tho financial part. Tho first number of tho Advocate, a paper published by tho Athletic Association of the Lincoln high school, has reached our desk. It is a very respectable sheet. DON'T FAIL TO SEE THEM.
