GYMNASIUM NOTES. The prospect for good baso ball and track teams is very good. The number of students entering for these teams is so largo that accommodations cannot be given them at the gymnasium. The Farmers' and Merchants' insur ance company has placed a ?50 silvor cup for the winners in the state inter collegiate track meet. The physical department met a diffi culty last week in giving T. L. Tyson an examination. Tyson was taking the test for strength of back and legs and had the machine going toward the 500 mark when it broke. Stronger machinery will have to be provided for Nebraska men. Such instruments may do for eastern schools, but not for men like Tyson. Bnsket Ball Manager Hewitt has scheduled a game of basket ball with the Kansas university to be played at the university gymnasium March 2. This will be the best gftme of the sea son and every student should aid in making it a success. It will also be the first interstate game ever played here. We should remember Kansas at foot ball and our basket ball game should be as well supported. At n meeting of the university sen ate last Friday it was decided that fel lowship students were eligible for ath letic teams. In consequence Joel Steb bins has been placed on the university basket ball team. Twenty-eight schools have entered for the interscholastic athletic con test. The board of control, of which Dr. Hastings of the university is sec retary, will meet in Lincoln February 12 to arrange time and place of meet ing. ALUMNI GAME. Opinions of an alumni foot ball game are still coming in. Dr. Henry B. Ward speaks as follows: "The suggestion made In your edi torial of recent date regarding assistant graduate coaching and an alumni game in the fall deserves the heartiest support. It may not be known that for a long time the athletic board has en deavored to excite interest enough among recent graduates of foot ball fame to secure their services in assist ing with the coaching. This, of course, assists In the development of individ ual positions, while tho head coach do votes his main attention to team work. Without such Individual instruction tho method of play in a particular posi tion must bo gradually developed by successive players, and tho team finds Itself set back almost to tho beginning by tho doparturo of a number of good men. It Is unfortunately true, how ever, that those graduates boBt fitted to assist tho university In this partic ular have displayed but littlo Interest in tho institution after leaving it. Time, however, is building up a better feeling among tho alumni and I think an alumni game Is likoly to develop further interest. "Another point should not bo forgot ten in tho relation of alumni to the gamo among eastern institutions. So far as I know, it has boon universally true that they have frowned upon con tentions between various organizations and have aided strongly In developing a sentiment of work for the university, which must come with greater forco if our athletic enterprises are to bo brought to a satisfactory condition. "HENRY B. WARD." Will Ilnyward of Nebraska City writes that It would bo an excellent means of nrouslng enthusiasm, but ho feels that it would be hard to get enough alumni together to piny the game. George Klndlor, cx-cnptaln of tho base ball team, deems tho plan as a most oxcollont one. WHEN I'M BROKE. All tho world scorns out of kilter, When I'm broke; Through my brain 111 feelings filter, When I'm broke; As they hustle, belter skelter, While I dig, and grind, and swelter, Till In vnnlshed hopes I welter, When I'm broke. I have just one consolation, When I'm broke; And It cheers to exultation, When I'm broke; Neither power of man nor nation Can Increase in degradation My financial situation, When I'm broke. All my lessons In n flurry, When I'm broke; Make my recitations blurry, When I'm broke; But in this my woes I bury "Let tho other follow worry" And I smile to watch him skurry, When I'm broke. Ex.
