one-half of the absences allowed. Another week of absence

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.
