fine and high principles and motives that had originally brought them together, and thus be a blessing and a joy forever to the members as well as to the University. Relative differences among the fraternities in the University show that this ideal of a fraternity may be approximated. With care and advice and supervision as I have indicated on the part of the management of the institution, neither treating the fraternities as Ishmaelites unless they have deserved it by their conduct, nor giving them too great prominence in college life, the existing fraternities might be made to approach much nearer than they do to this ideal.

ATHLETICS.
Nebraska is Ours Too.
It was the general opinion of veteran football authorities that a more exciting, or more stubbornly contested foot-ball game was never seen in the west than the Kansas-Nebraska game at Lincoln Saturday.
It was a magnificent victory for the Jayhawkers, and even the Nebraska rooters applauded the work of the Kansas boys, after the game however.
There was doubt and fear in the minds of everybody when it was announced that Hester, Games and Crooks were left at home. The boys fully realized that the team was greatly weakened, but the Nebraska players would never have surmised the condition of affairs from the conduct of the Jayhawkers. They went at the conquerors of the Missouri Tigers in a fierce determined way, they could not resist. The Nebraska team played gallantly but they could not hold out. They were out-trained and out-played.
Owing to the changed positions of the backs, Kansas game was necessarily individual, and every man played his position nobly and Outland's work was the feature of the game. He was run time after time with the ball but never faltered. Stone played his first game at end in brilliant style. He made several good gains around right end, and broke up Nebraska's interference well. Burney put up his usual hard, plucky, game. He played end, half, and full, and went through the entire game with a boil
on his knee. Kennedy played a pretty game at quarter. His passing the ball was quick and accurate, and he tackled well. The lines were all matched, and the boys made a gallant fight.

THE GAME IN DETAIL.
Captain Wilson won the toss, and took the west goal, Kansas taking the ball with a strong wind blowing against her. Williamson baffled the wind for a forty-yard kick, and the ball was returned ten yards by Hayward. Nebraska tried right and left tackle for two and threeyard gains, then lost on a fumble. Williamson went through center for two yards. Outland added three over right tackle and three more over right guard. Williamson and Hamill then went against the line, but failed to make the required five yards, and Nebraska took the ball. Shedd wiggled five yards through right tackle and Jones made ten yards between guard and center. King tried Hamill and lost two yards, and Fair failed again by Griffiths. Spooner who played full back on the defensive, was forced to punt. The ball went low, and Outland got it. Kansas then started in earnest
