Among those preseut were: Messrs. Haughton, R.

Hellier, of Nebraska City, and Ray Montgomery of Oak, Neb., at their chapter house on R street After the initiation, a "feed" was indulged in by tho members of the fraternity. A num ber of the alumni were present NOTES FROM THE GRIDIRON. All interest now centres on tho Thanksgiving game at Omaha when Ne braska and Iowa lock horns for suprem acy. The interest is intensified oven in the face of difficulties. The team has been unfortunate, but Coach Robinson and Manager Oury have done phenom enal work in making something out of nothing. Nebraska expects to win the pennant and she will have to do it by piling up a large score against Iowa. The status of the league has changed but very little although tho events of the past week have not helped to brighten the outlook for Nebraska. Kansas ought to beat Missouri easily. Iowa beat Kansas on a fluke and Ne braska beat Missouri. Kansas has some very fine material, with probably the strongest line of any western team with some very strong backs; having two substitute backs that are fully equal to any men on the regu lar team behind the line. Hector Cowan, although graduating from Princeton in '89, has coached Kan sas for three years and keeps fully up with all the new plays. Iowa is the heaviest team in the league, composed of players of experi ence. Their backs, too, are men of ex ceptional ability. Holbrook, the negro, who plays one of the backs, is said to be a whirlwind in defensive and offensive play. Bull's work is showing up well. Penn sylvania's latest scientific plays are cer tainly eliminating any weak points in the team. Missouri is coached by Patterson, a. substitute for Yale last year. He baa no new plays or systems, afs) thus far has been very unsuccessful, hajrisg failed to win any games at all . It'iaccess is a criterion for judgment of aofsjBJa, it certainly looks as though thsytSMpnot asJrell provided for as the otlMr WMftMflbri, however, has a BtroajrrlffcfVHftAPtYery weak in the backs, with the exception of one; the others, through injury, have been un able to get into the game. Nebraska's condition for the Thanks giving game is an uncertainty. The team puts up a quality of ball on one day that can not be beaten and on another of being totally unable of doing any good work at all. This can be attrib uted to the fact that the team is com posed of new material. Mr. Robinson the coach, has done more than any coach we have ever had; he has made something out of nothing. His ability is unquestioned and within the next two weeks he will have the team in such shape that they will in every respect be the equals of Iowa. "Lincoln will send a noisy crowd of Nebraska "rooters" fire hundred strong, ad promise many interesting events. Many coaching parties of Omaha society people have been arranged. NOTES FROM THE KANSAS GAME. The fraternities at the university gave a hop for the Nebraska men. They re port fine treatment. Turner, tho manly fellow with the auburn locks, was the idol of the ladies and only for the strict orders from Coach Robinson he would have indulged in many frivolities. Nebraska played a good defensive game but were totally unable to advance the ball excepting by the punting of Thorpe and Packard. Whipple is getting in good form again. He went in tho second half and played a brilliant defensive game. His tackling was invariably sure and hard. Kansas played their new tandem play using both guards. They also kicked three goals in a way entirely new to Ne braska. The quarter touching the ball to the ground and holding it in tho air to be kicked. BUTTENEBRASKA GAME. Thursday afternoon Nebraska met defeat at the hands of the celebrated Butte Giants, at M street park, by a sore of 20-6. Even though somewhat one-sided, the Nebraska mon ft-It proud of being able even to score against them. The Giants aro tne cracks of the west and are composed of as fine speci mens of brawn and muscle as ever played on the gridiron. Nebraska hardly expected to win against them. She did nobly, however. Denver failed even to score against them, and Ne braska's 6 points was a surprise to them. Butte won the toss and kicked the ball fifty yarcs into Nebraska's terri tory. Thorpe returned it in fifteen yards, and Nebraska lost the bail on a fumble. Butte took the ball and puehed it close to Nebraska's goal line.

Nebraska's line could be successfully assailed at any point. Butte's tandem interference was superb and told heavily on Nebraska's line. The rapidity of play was phe nomenal. The game was well attended but the result was not surprising considering the relative standing of the teams. "Uni" boys, try our "Beauty Nut" for your rooms.
