A RESUME
Kansan Reporter goes over the Correspondence between the Schools.
Nebraska Hedged on Playing Acording to Contract----Would Not Send Eligibility List.
For the last few weeks there has been an attempt by the sporting editor of the Kansas City Star to bring to the front the resumption of athletic relations between Nebraska and Kansas. In order that the reasons that caused the break may be fully known, a reporter for the Kansan went over, this morning, very carefully all the correspondence that led up to the trouble.
He found that previous to 1902 all Kansas-Nebraska games were played alternately in Lawrence and Lincoln, and the contracts in 1901, called for $300, as the sole compensation for the visiting team. In spite of the protests of K. U., the 1902 game was played at Lincoln at the request of Nebraska, but with the understanding that the next game should be played in Lawrence.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, OCTOBER 28, 1905.
Nebraska tried, during the summer of '03 to get the game changed to Kansas City. Our board gave the question careful consideration but decided to follow the contract and have the game here. Nebraska then asked for "50 per cent of the business our excursion will bring". Kansas rejected such an unheard of proposition. Nebraska replied "Must have three hundred dollars guaranty here by Thursday to pay transportation or cannot come". No more unsportsmanlike, and insulting stipulation could have been made.
The contract between the two schools called for an eligibility list of players ten days before the game. In 1902 and '03 Nebraska sent no list before or after the game. Nebraska has not changed in this respect, for last week the Michigan Daily two days before the MichiganNebraska game said no word had been received from Nebraska as to the personnel of her team and it was not known whether freshmen would be played or not.
During the summer of 1903, it came to the notice of the athletic board here that Nebraska was going to play Bender and Wilson, who played on the McCook baseball team all summer, and the two men were protested to the Nebraska board. The following answer was received; "Athletic board in session find men eligible. They play or team doesn't." This did not satisfy the Kansas board, espec-

NEW COUNCIL.
NUMBER 15
May Select Debating Council by Popular Elections.—University Offers Support.
The University Debating Council has under consideration plans for a reorganization of debating, which, if adopted, will mean a new council elected by popular vote as is the Athletic Board.
On Thursday Chancellor Strong offered on behalf of the University to assume financial responsibility of debating if it were thrown open to the whole Universiay
The council will meet Monday to act on the proposition, and if it is accepted, the control will of necessity pass to the students as a body. The plan of change is in line with the proposed student tax by which it is hoped to secure support for athletics, and in case it comes, the debating council would get a share for debating.
TELLS OF MICHIGAN.
The Giant Nebraska Guard Gives Vivid Description of Team.
Taylor, the giant Nebraska negro guard, when asked by some of the Nebraska rooters what he thought of Yost's team, replied:
"Good Lawd! Lightnin' is slow in company with them fellahs! I wondah what Mistah Yost did say to Michigan 'tween halves. Ah guess this niggah nevah saw a football game until today. That little towheaded quatahback would go ching-a-ling-a-ling and a big Mississippi steamah named Joseph Cuhtis would go chow! chow! chow! right ovah this niggah. Chinga-ling and down goes this niggh again. Fast as ah gets up down ah goes.
"Us Cohnhuskahs suttinly did pop open in that second half, suh. Ise been in windstohms and cyclones befoh, but nevah when it blowed so hard as on that Ferry field. That suttinly am a hurry-up bunch."

College World.
The seniors at the University of California have taken it in hand to have a big bonfire before the best football games. The freshmen used to do the same thing here after each victory.
Nebraska is having trouble with thieves. The wraps of both men and women are taken off the hooks while the owners are attending classes. They do not have such an improvement as a check stand there.
Since Oklahoma and Missouri have defeated the Indians,the Long Horns at Austin have decided that their defeat was the result of playing on Friday, the thirteenth of the month.
The Medie Freshmen held their "fumigation" last night at the Beta house. Twenty-five members were present. The principal features were a Dutch lunch, Dutch duel, the prevaricators' roll call and the stag dance.
freshmen win Again.
The freshmen won the hardest game of the season from Iola High School today by a score of 5 to 0. Crowell made the touchdown in the last three minutes of play. Dahlene missed a difficult goal. A blinding snow storm and a heavy field kept the score down. The freshmen were somewhat heavier than their speedy opponents.
SOCIETY REFORM
CHANCELLOR STRONG TALKS TO FRATS AND SORORITIES
Would Cut Down Number Of Parties--Do Away With Late Hours.
Chancellor Strong called a meeting of two representatives from each fraternity and sorority Wednesday to talk over the society life of the University. The Chancellor believes that the fraternity spring parties are too elaborate and expensive social affairs for student life.
He desired that the fraternities might alternate each year in the giving of parties thus reducing the number of these social functions. He also wished that they might begin earlier and close sooner. The parties usually begin at 9:30 to 10:00 o'clock and close at 2:00 to 2:30 in the morning.
There are eight fraternities and four sororities in the University. Each fraternity usually invites a large proportion of the other fraternities to its spring party, so it means there are twelve parties held within as many weeks, beginning after the first of the year.
Dr. Strong thinks that Kansas should follow the Michigan and Yale custom of making the Junior Promenade the one social event of the year.
